NEW YORK NOTES.

Look out for the Socialist ticket. Sc.
cure your tickets before election day
from reliable men.
Register! Register, in order to be able
to cast your vote for the regular Socialist
nominees, if you agree with the Socialist
Platform.
General meeting of the three New
York Sections, S. l.. P, at % East
Fourth street tomorrow, at 3 p. m.
Bring membership cards, properly
stamped.
There will be a number of candidates
for the office of Mayor this year. and
there is some talk of two democratic
candidates. Police Commissioner Voor-
his is strongly limited at as Hewitt's Sue
CessOr.
Innocent citizens who find themselves
announced as possible nominees of the
Socialist Labor Party by the capitalist
papers need not be afraid that they run
any risk of nomination. Don't get ex-
cited, gentlemen.
The Miscellaneous Trades Section of
the Central Labor Union evidently don't
take any stock in the United Labor
party farce. And he would be bold
man who would presume that they want
less than the Socialist platform calls for.
1t is said that the German and Italian.
with the nativist vote, will be pitted
against the Catholic and silk stocking
democracy if Hewitt is renominated.
The workingmen who vote for the
capitalist contestants for the office vote
against themselves.
The daily press are printing all sorts of
guesswork stories regarding what Social
lists are going to do-whom they are
talking of nominating, and 80 on. Now,
the Socialists are the last ones to trouble
themselves much about candidates. 1t
is the platform they consider in their
politics.
It's easy to play the alms-giver with
other peoples money, and Mayor Hew-
lit, in giving away funds collected for
HART, the notorious shoe factory boss,
is earning the praises of such admirers
of charity as the New York Tribune,
which gleefully announces that Vim
cenzia Veprek, the poor widow who was
discharged and evicted by Jacoby &
Bookman because she testified before a
congressional committee, found Mayor
Hewitt better than her union because he
gave her twenty dollars Vincenzia
Veprek belonged to no union at the time,
and consequently was not entitled to
benefits. Besides, she did not know that
Hewitt was giving her money collected
for another person.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The bill for
the admission of Washington Territory
holds the position of unfinished business
on the legislative calendar of the Senate.
The Fisheries treaty in open executive
session promises to absorb the attention
of the Senate during the present week:
The pending question is the motion OF
Senator Morgan to postpone further con-
sideration until December. No doubt is
entertained that it will be decided ad-
versely, after which the treaty will come
formally before the Senate article by art
icle for amendment.
An effort will be made in the House
tomorrow To return to the regular order
for the purpose of having suspension
day." If assurances are secured that the
Pacific Railroad Funding bill will yet be
called up, it is believed that this effort
will meet with little opposition, and in
case of success the bill to incorporate the
Nicaragua Canal Company and several
bills for the erection of public buildings
will probably be acted upon. The De-
ficiency Appropriation bill promises to
occupy two days more before it is COM
pleted. The Oklahoma bill will also be
the subject of discussion.

Democratic Soldiers.

The Republicans are continually
yawping about the war, and claiming
that they put down the rebellion, as the
Greenville Democrat says. They do not
give the Democrats credit with even hav-
ing assisted in the undertaking. and
whenever Democrats are mentioned at
all in that connection, it is only to be
classed as Rebels. We have heard, con-
tinues the Democrat, some of the small
caliber Republican politicians get off
Just such stuff in their curbstone and
store-box talk, but they are not as much
to blame as the smarter Alecks they look
up to as leaders, and who have for years
drilled them from the stump and press
in gabbling such foolishness. After the
war was over and the Democrats return
ed to Darke county, the vote there show
ed that nearly all the Democrats must
have gone to help put down the rebel
lion, while most of the Republicans stay
ed at home, for the county at once be-
came Democratic. Several months ago
we published table bearing directly up
on this subject, and it is of vital
interest in this campaign we repro
duce it below, so that Democrats can cut
it out and shove it under the noses of
windy Republicans when they talk too
much. The table is compiled from sta
tistics kept by the several States OF SOL
diers furnished the Union army, which
record, under the law, contains the
name, age, politics, religion, ETC., of
each man, and shows that nearly half a
million more Democrats than Republi-
cans entered the Union army. Let
Democrats preserve this table-it will
ofteil prove HANDY reference. Here are

PARNELL,S CHALLENGE.
Cha amberlafn Invited to Publish
Evidence Against Him.


Evidence Against Him.
LONDON, August 5.-Parnell writes to
the Times challenging Chamberlain to
publish the Local Government scheme
alleged to be in Parnell's handwriting
Parnell says: The publication of
the scheme will fully establish
entire consistency of my public and pri-
vate declarations on the subject. If
Chamberlain still declines to pub
lish the scheme and contents him
self with misleading versions of its
purport, the public will appreciate his
conduct and understand that it's publica-
ton would neither substantiate his truth
fulness nor vindicate his candor. Let
him print the alleged Coercion act with
the alterations in my hand in brackets:
Parnell then argues at length that it
was only Chamberlain's illegitimate
extension of the Dublin Council scheme,
for merely administrative purposes,
which he favored in 1882, and that he
has since denounced it. He says:
"Such a scheme would have been a
suitable achievment for our small party
of thirty-ive, but the return OF eighty
six Irish members and Lord Carnavo-
rams declination to win the favor OF the
Irish Parliament, rendered the consider
alton of the Irish autonomy indispensi-
BILE, and / laid down this position
at an Imperial Hotel dinner in the
autumn of 1888. Our view in 1882, from
which we never departed, was that the
functions OF the proposed Council should
be purely administrative, and that it
should not be accepted in the
slightest degree as a substitute fol
the Parliament which Chamberlain pro.
posed. If Chamberlain published my
letters it will be seen he must early in
1885 have been fully acquainted with oul
views.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, August 5.-About
nineteen thousand people witnessed the
baseball game between the Haverlys and
Stocktons at the Haight street grounds
this afternoon. The game was very in
teresting throughout. Meegan occupied
the box for the Haverlys and pitched an
exceedingly good game, striking out five
men, giving no, bases or balls and allow
ing but eight hits off his delivery.
Whitehead, the Stockton's third base
man, occupied the box for the Stockton
team, but his pitching was not
of sufficient excellence to deserve
praise. At the most critical times
he was little wild in his delivery, and
as a result gave four bases on balls. The
support rendered him by the Stockton
players was excellent. Both clubs were
wildly applauded throughout the game.
At the conclusion of the game many
Haverly admirers rushed upon the field
and on their shoulders carried the play
ers to the club house. The features of
the game were the fielding of Levy,
Lawton, Selma and Moore, and the bait.

PIONEERS VS.. GREENWOOD & NoRANs.
SANTA Cruz, August 5.-The game be-
tween the Pioneers and Greenhood &
Morans drew a large crowd to the Santa
Cruz ball grounds, and baseball enthu-
siasts were treated to the best game ever
played in this place. The contest from
the first was very exciting, and the en-
thusiasm over good plays was at times
unbounded. Both clubs being strangers
the spectators had no favorites and
consequently gave both sides an
equal amount of applause. Some
plays were magnificent, notably the diff
ficult fly catches by Hurley, McGlade
and Hardie. This contest was league
game and counts for the Pioneers one
notch toward the championship for the
season, they having won this most stub
bornly contested game of twelve innings.
Score: Pioneers 8, Greenhood and Mo-

that when he was in prison he was unable
to eat the prison food although he was
starving. Ridley begged him to 60 into

either defy the Prison Board or have an
inquest on you, and as l don't want

you exercise despite them." A few days
afterwards Ridley came to Lanes cell in
an excited state and said he received a
terrible reprimand from Dublin for al

said he had orders to sign certificate
authorizing an infiction of punishment

No sooner are the girls large enough to

than they are set to the most servile
work the land affords. The child has q
panier basket fitted to her shoulders at
the earliest possible moment, and she
drops it only when old age, premature
but merciful, robs her of power to carry
it longer. I have seen sweet little
girls Of twelve or fourteen staggering
down a mountain side or along rough
pathway under the weight Of bundles Of
faggots as large as their bodies, which
they no sooner dropped than they hur-
ried back for others. have seen girls
of fifteen or sixteen years barefooted and
bareheaded, in the blistering rays of an
August sun, breaking up the ground
by swinging mattocks heavy enough
to tax the strength of an able-bodied
man. And l have known young
miss no older than these to be employed
as a porter for carrying the baggage OF
travellers up and down the steepest
mountain path in all the region round
about. She admitted that it was some
times very hard to take another
step, but yet she must do it. And
she carried such an amount OF bag.

General P. w. Murphy and John V.
