COMMANDER WARNER.

Clrcular From the New Commander-in-
Cnlef OF the Grand Army of the Republic
urging the Comrades to Renewed Zeal in
Iromoting the Succe 8 of the Or rganiza-
ton and Its Principles
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Representative
arner, OF Missouri in his official ca
paclty as Commander-in- Chief Of the
u A. r.. issued the following last night:
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, G. A. R.,
KANSAS CITY, MO, Sept. "a, 1888. I
lCircular Letter. No. IL
CoMRADES:-The Commander-in- Chief, upon
assuming the duties OF his ofice, desires to
touch elbows and keep step with the depart.
ment commanders and all the comrades. that
tnere may be no break along the line. It Is his
nope that this year will be one of earnest ac-
tive work. Every Grand Army post should be
recruiting station. There is necessity for
tnis. We are confronted with the fact that
thousands OF honorably discharged soldiers ana
sailors OF the rebellion are not members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. The names of
all OF these, our old companions -in-arms. who
live IN reasonable distance Of Grand Army
post, should be found on our rolls. Until this
is done our organization has not reached its
maximum. II is for you, comrades, to say
whether we shall advance or retreat. We can
not stand still. We must advance.
Let 1t be understood that as in 1875
comrade was not questioned that as
then we did not permit differences on those
questions to divide US, so it shall be now. Fra
ternity, Charity and Loyalty is a platform
broad enough for every survivor Of the Union
army to stand upon. Standing upon that plat
form, the spirit Of true comradeship protects
comrades sectarian and political opinions
from even adverse criticism. His opinions on
these questions he is entitled to. With them
his comrades have nothing to do, save to re-
spect them and to protect him in the free ex-
ercise of the same. AS members Of the grand
est civic organization in the world, let us, one
and all, hold this line. AS officers. let us prac
tice what we preach. BY so doing, we may rea-
sonably hope to increase in numbers and use
fulness and strengthen the bonds of comrade-
ship that should bind the veterans Of the Union
army and navy one to another-a comradeship
the warp and woof of which are fraternity and
charity woven IN the loom of loyalty,
Comrades, the Commander-in-Chief asks that
which ne believes he will receive-your active
cooperation in advancing the lines OF our order.
With your assistance much can be accom-
plished; without it, his labors will be in vain.
Department commanders will at as early
day as possible, notify these headquarters Of
the time and place OF holding the encampment
In each department. This letter is subscribed
by your comrade, in F., c. and L.,

Commander in-Chie

The sun sank In the Western Hemis-

mortals Of the earth, but gradually, as
the golden trail Of the suns majesty
tranquil expression and smiled Oh the
young lovers VINO we're basking in her
light.
Some were glad to see the familiar
form, while others were annoyed al the
long steady gaze she osst upon them.
All, yesl If the moon would but so
far lower herself MS to allow as to at sch
Photographic crank, how many Of US
would call ION the rocks TO fall on u.s."
But this ia a depression, forgive me.
With feminine majestic grandeur, the
moon floated over pair In the park;
peculiar smile might have been seen had
Hersohell's telescope been levelled at
her at that moment, but rest easy ye
lovers, your secret is sale.
On, on! she travelled till reaching the
Military square, where the serene
countenanoe OF the lumiDary became
distorted as something CHASTITY displayed
itself to her sstonished gaze! No
wonder her serene hIghness was ruffied
for there on the Fashion stage! What
did she behold? John Burk ss the dude !

office In the state Of New York. Not on
simply out OF malice to Conkling and
Grant and their friends and as reward
for his boiling the New York state con.
vention.
This action Of Blaine bore its fruits
and oh how bitter. In the fight over
the confirmation OF this miserable crea-
ture, Robertson, Conkling was driven
from the senate, the bullet OF the assss-
sin put Garfield In his grave, and shat
tered the republican party to atoms.
and all this was the work Of the bosses,
and not Of the party; and In the state
elections Of 'SS2, the democrats carried
eight northern states that voted for Gar
field in 1880 The people fed from
party at war with itself. In this war
the interest Of the country and people
were neg ected and forgotten, and In e.
turn he people and the country forgot
the party and went to smother.
But the republican party might have
survived all this, had not the "bosses,"
not the party, nominated Blaine In 1884.
This was too much. Under his weight
the party struggled and fell, and the
grandest party OF the age went down.
This is the republican situation today
In this nation. Ald now, confronting
this situation what 10 to be donep Shall
we nominate Q boss again? Shall We
nominate Blaine or Sherman, or Ell
munds or Conkling? No. never! We
must nominate u great man, a clean
man, . man that never bossed his party
or any faction Of 1t.
We must have q candidate who can
attack, and one so great and pure that
he needs no defending.
Away with bosses and bossism, let the
people, the rank and file OF the party be
heard. SITUATION.

How 1t successfully Employed in
the Case of the .:o.'al Ma
rione. .s3 at the opera
Hose.
Probably but one OF every II who have
attended the performances OF the Ma
rione:tes at the Grand opera house dur.
ing the past week have not known how
these little autOmatons that Ceem i'm
bued with so much life, are worked In
viewing them from the auditorium OF
the house, the scene 10 entirely different
from that which wodld greet the ts-
holder we're he to take trip back into
the flies behind the scenes. A LIGHT re-
porter, through the courtesy of Mr..
Gus. Bell, MAS accorded a glimpse
last night OF the way IN
which at was done" behind
the scenes. Here all was life and hustle,
and the audible voices OF stage car.
penter and superintendent Of the show
were plainly to be heard, though the
heavy curtains and stage settings rem
dered these inaudible 70 the audience.
The MsriOnettes we're giving their min
strel first part and were seated In their
little chairs on their mimic stage, ap-
parently talking, singing, playing the
fiddle tsmbo and bones, the same as
human minstrels and with as much
grace, II there be grace, as these. On
raised platform above and behind
them, with an arm rest, were two men,
Ellis and Burke, who were doing nearly
al the work. Each held piece of
stick about IL inches long, one in each
hand and depending from these sticks as
The teeth of q comb, were the strings,
which below were attached to the legs,
arms, head, and even eyes and mouth
OF the figures and by the move
mems of the fingers OF the "manipuls-
tors" who have become wonderfully ex-
pert, these with figures were made to
act as lifelike as the men above them
pleased.
"But how can bones work his hands
In such perfect time and tambo shake
his tsmborine as to make the peculiar
music they do? Is the question"
All, that Is easily answered, when one
understands Ii. Behind the scenes on
the Left Miss Adele Gilbert plays the
bones, and on the right the tamborine
keeps time to the movements Of the
mimic instrument In the hands Of the
automator, and when Mr.. Pat Rooney
sings his Irish songs, the manipulation
above him does the singing, as both
Ellis and Burke do for all the minstrels

Suffering Miners.

SHENANDOAH, Feb. Is. - Destitution
ing developed here. Is terrible and such
that 1t cannot longer be hidden. One
family named Foged was found to have
actually been without food two
days and the children SO weak
from fasting that when relief came It
had TO be sparingly given to guard
against killing them. There were 8 In
this family. Another family of six,
named Burns, was In the same state and
one named johnson was almost as bad.
These are but Instances that
have many persisted. 1t has been estab.

intended for the miners have been alb
sorbed by the railrOaders who have
been living In clover while their allies
