AN TNTEREsTING CONTEST.

AN INTERESTING CONTEST.
Our esteemed contemporary the Union
| says: whether Private Loun sbury is or is
| not the favorite candidate of the majority of
| more or less eminent Republicans who met
at the Republican League yesterday, the man
ayers of the gathering appear to have greed
to give out that he is, and that the rival
candidates have no show"
Perhaps it would suit~the U MON and its
adherents to have it unders tood that the
Republican candidate for governor has been
already picked out and that the leaders of the
party have agreed to 'sgive out" that such il
the case. But the facts are against the Union
Mr.. Lounsbury has no mortgage upon the
nomination and if any of his friends are in
judicious enough to assert that he has they
are very injudicious indeed. But we have
heard of no such assertion, a nd do not believe
that it has been made. And we know that
at the meeting of the Republican State COM
mittee referred to by the Union there was no
talk which would give ground for such a
statement as the Union makes
The fact is the contest for the nomination
is an open one, and is going to be unusually
lively and interesting. Each of the
three prominent candidates has friends who
will do hearty and vigorous work for their
candidate. The friends of Mr.. Lounsbury
have been active for some time in his behalf,
and have apparently, until within a short
time, met with little opposition. But dur
ing the last week the quiet which has reigned
has been broken by the appearance of Hon.
Morgan G. Bulkeley, the mayor of Hartford,
as an active candidate. He stepped into the
arena in an open, manly fashion, and at an
auspicious time. His coming made not a
little stir, for he was at once recognized as a
strong candidate. He is thorough Rspub-
lican, and an energetic and hearty supporter
of Republican principles. He is identified
with the business interests of the State, is a
very popular man, and although fortunate
enough to have some money has never been
accused of being purse proud or ''aristocrat-
ic." He has served the city of Hartford as
mayor for several years, and last spring was
reelected by vote which showed that his
services were warmly appreciated by his fell
low citizens. His friends are numerous in
all parts of the State, and they are glad to
see him answer their appeals by
declaring himself candidate for
an Office for which they, know his
ability and integrity well fit him, and for an
honor which they would rejoice to see be-
slowed upon him. They will do their level |
best for him.
The friends of Major Tibbitts are also not |
letting the grass grow under their feet, but |
are doing all they can for the man of their |
choice. There seems to be commendable |
all around to have the whole con- |
test fair and friendly one,as it ought to be. |

Beer for the Ohio Veterans.

itrem the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The arrival each morning at Dayton of a
carload of Cincinnati beer, sixty barrels, to
supply the Soldiers Home saloon, where no
other beverage than lager beer sold has Great
ed decided interest there. The business there
has assumed enormous proportions, and yet
not glass is sold to any but inmates of the
institution.
Three bartenders are on duty ten hours,
from the opening of the saloon in the morn
ing until the closing at night, and it is a rush
with them until dark. A car load of beer
is received every morning, and the barrels
removed at once from refrigerator cars to
ice cellars Immediately in the rear of the
barroom, and there one man is stationed all
day charged with the duty of keeping three
barrels on tap at time, and when once the
amber stream is started it does not cease to
fow until the barrel is empty, the beer be-
ing conducted by rubber tube into the bar,
where glasses are waiting for it, so great is
the patronage of the bar all day. In the morn
lngs there are often three to five hundred
thirsty veterans waiting in line for the sal
oon doors to be opened. Checks are sold at
the door, five cents apiece. six to each appli-
cant, and no more, and these checks are good
for one glass of beea
Profits on pretzels and sandwich sales more
than pay running expenses of the beer hall
Beer is delivered in carload lots at the Home
at fraction less than S. per barrel, and re-
tailed at nickel
An interesting fact in connection with the
sale of beer at the Home is the fact stated by
DIR. Patton, surgeon of the institution, that
before the saloon was ODened he had 300 Da-
tients per week, and at the end of tn three
weeks sale of beer he had only fifty patients
Beer as sanitary agent seems to be a first
class bene6cence
Col Thomas, treasurer of the Home, says
the profits from the sale of beer will pay all
police, fire department, and hospital expenses
and clothe all of the 5000 inmates of the
central branch. If the saloon was opep
to patronage of visitors the Home would be

take the task, and public interest had been
aroused by the announcement of such inten-
ton, he was approached by Mr.. Conant for
the Harper Bros. with an offer of $50, 900
outright for his copyright. General Grant
was advised by business friends whom he
consulted and on whose judgment he was
disposed to rely to accept this apparently
liberal offer. The general himself, however,
decided to decline it, and upon the honorable
ground that he was not willing to accept any
more than fair compensation That could
not, he argued, be established except by
royalty based upon the sales of the book af-
ter its issue. Yet through this scrupulous
feeling Mrs. Grant and the entire family have
again been made wealthy, the winning hav-
ing already nearly reached the sum of $780,
600, with possible $3.50, 900 more in sight

who worked ''better than he knew" AS it

come to Mrs. Grant to make blessed the days
OF her widowhood. 1t is not alone the mat
erlal benefit it brings, it is far more the feel
ing of his protecting care and unselfsh, low
ing toll which is strongly emphasized in ev-
cry proof of the great success of General

unquestionably large. Mr. E. L. Webster of

The Berlin Central Union for Placing La
bor' is a useful institution. 1t provided last
year 5,505 persons, or more than sixty per
cent. of the applicants, with work. No fee
whatever is e1actsd by the union, which de-
rives its support from the contributions of
employers. 1t promotes the welfare of the
laboring classes also by the aid given to
needy and unsuccessful applicants for places.
The cost of transporting one passenger or
one ton per mile has practically remained
the same on all roads in Great Britain dur
ing the past twenty years. On New York
roads the cost has decreased fifty per
cent. and on Pennsylvania roads seventy six
per cent. within that time. Five hundred
and fifty American locomotives on the Penn
sylvania railroad do as much work as 2,476
engines on the London & Northwestern rail
road.
The Chicago papers announce that the
Trades Unions, the Knights of Labor, the
Central Labor union and all the German and
Bohemian labor organizations are about to
enter the political field The leaders claim
that they have failed to accomplish their OBJ
ject by strikes and other modes of agitation,
and are therefore determined to effect their
purpose by the ballot. There is wisdom in
this. If they really have the power they
claim they can show it most effectively in
this way.
The quarrels between labor organizations
are the natural result of their way of doing
business. The New York Tribune well says:
at war with society and with free labor. SO
far as they attempt to'deny freedom to any
class of workers. Whenever they begin to
exclude non-members from employment,
whether in strife with each other or in strife
with employers, they invite and sometimes
compel retaliatory measures. The only
safe course for organizations of vorkingmen
is to insist upon the equal and absolute free
dom of all workers and to set the example by
refusing 10 demand the exclusion of any from
employment.
