THEY KNEW HIM BEST.
A Remarkable Memorial Adopted
by the LOyal Legion.

WASHINGTON. Aug. AT a meeting
of the commandery of the Loyal Le-
gion of the District of Columbia to-
night, at which Senator Henderson. the
commander. presided, and of which
Gen. Sheridan was member, re-
markable memorial paper was read and
adopted. 1t begins thus:
Gen. Sheridan died at Nonquit, Mass, on
Sunday, Aug. 5, 1888.
After reference to the close relations that
existed between the commandery and the
dead general. Sher1dan's character was thus
eulogized:
History has already begun to write upon
her imperishaple tablets, in letters that shall
never grow dim, those characteristics that
rank him with the great soldiers of all time.
interchangeable, no labor was too onerous
for him.
Resolute, no obstacle appalled, him.
Alert, no accident surprised him.
Ready, no disappointment foiled him of
his purpose.
Observant no fact escaped him.
Discreet, he knew where his blow should
fail
uProvident, he was always equipped.
Impetuous, he was also safe. His infantry
charged as If they were cavalry; his cavalry
resisted as if they were infantry.
Enthusiastic, his zeal was full of know
ledge.
2 Studious of the situation. aware of ey-
cry VI pOSlllOl llldl IAu6 1Or or
against him. he was as careful to turn the
impregnablc as he was eager to carry the as
.|sailable.
His maps were scored with highways of
attack and thoroughfares of victory. He
never went into battle that he did not intend
and expect and believe he would win. He
fought to end our fighting" and every blow
told.
A commander, he was also a leader: a
7 leader. he was also comrade. Whether in
command. eXnOrtatIOn. nr
? example, or by all these combined, he so i'm
pressed himself upon his forces that they be-
came an obedent weapon, responsive TO his
sTesistless purpose. To have served under
SHERIDAN was to have served with him: to
have served with him was to have served for
him and as part of him.
The paper then amplifes in hearty
7eulogy the exploit and characteristics
of the soldier; refers proudly to Sher-
: idan's intense patriotism. and tenderly
touches the warriors last battle with
death.

FROM WABASHA.
Hon. p. IL. Rahiliy Expresses Him.
self Freely on Politics.

Hon. p. H. Rahilly, of Wabasha
county, and one Of the oldest Democrats
in the state, expresses himself on recent
events in his county as follows:
1.-The recent county convention to
elect delegates to the state convention
from Wabasha county has a peculiar
history behind it. l.. NJ. Gregg, who is
an eX-Republican, was designated by
Mr.. Doran to carry the county and
hand 1t over to him at the proper time.
1t was Robert Miller, secretary of the
sta control committee, who wrote
Gregg that he must carry the county at
all hazards for Doran.
HE also telegraphed Gregg. and the
next day came down there, held a con-
sultation with Gregg, and authorized
the latter to go to work at once.
Gregg spent two weeks travelling
over the county. His instructions
were explicit. Miller had stated that
under no circumstances must | be per-
mitted to attend the state convention.
With this order in view the farmers
were tricked in the following manner.
The Irish were told that | wished to 60
to st. Paul to defeat Doran. To the
Germans it was stated that L desired to
defeat Scheffer and TO the Americans if
was told that wished to assist Doran.
Thus having aroused sectional feeling
against me the secured control of the
convention and shut me out altogether.
was not candidate and had so ex-
pressed myself.
John Wise, an intelligent Ger
man, said on the streets of Lake CITY
recently that he felt the greatest indig-
nation over the manner in which Kelly
and Doran were running things. He
added that one M. j. O'Laughlin, a man
whom Kelly and Doran had appointed
as mail agent, had travelled all over
the town of Mount Pleasant week be-
fore the county convention saying to the
Germans that he wished to attend the
state convention to nominate Scheffer, a
German, for governor and that must
not be allowed to attend that cOnven-
ton.
This is civil service reform with
vengeance.
The strikers" claimed that if I at
tended the state convention the ssboss-
es" could not handle me to advantage.

HE WAS THEIR FRIEND.

The cold shoulder the WOrkingmen of
Indiana are giving Gen. HARRISON is
quite in contrast with the cordial treat
ment the workingmen of Ohio are extend
ing to Judge THURMAN. The miners of
the Hooking valley sent delegation to
Columbus the other day for the express
purpose of inviting Judge THURMAN
down to see them. They wanted elm to
make a visit to their locality so that
they might have an opportunity to shake
his hand and to hear him talk on the
issues of the campaign. When Judge
THURMAN told the delegation that he
would accept the invitation and would
fix the date for his going later on, he
was Justify cheered.
The Hooking valley miners have
good cause to entertain the kindest feel
ings for the Old Roman. He it was
who, when the poor miners were locked
out by their employers, stepped in as
arbitrator, and, after hearing preSenta-
tion of the case by both sides, decided
that the miners were entitled to the 10
per centadvance on their wages that they
were asking. Soon afterwards, ow-
ing to the persuasive arguments
Of Judge THURMAN, the employ
erS gave them an additional
10 per cent advance. Judge THURMAN's
decision not only brought hope and COM
fort to the poor miners, but also marked
an epoch in the prosperity of the op-
orators. Ever since that time affairs in
the Hooking valley have been in a most
prosperous condition, and all owing to
the sense and fairness of justice which
marks all of Judge THURNIAN'S conduct.
1t is not surprising. then. that the Hook
ing valley miners are anxious for an
opportunity TO pay tribute to the great
statesman, who did not think it above
the exalted public station he occupied
to accept the post of arbitrator in a
quarrel in which the daily bread of
thousand coal diggers was involved.
Judge THURMAN's conduct in the
Hooking valley troubles is in singular
contrast with the course that Gen. HAIR
RIsoN has uniformly pursued toward
labor interests. Nobody ever heard of
HARRISON stepping out of his way to
help poor laboring man in trouble, or
to use his influence in behalf of a labor
organization when engaged in quarrel
with overbearing capitalists. HARRI-
SONS business has been TO prepare ar
guments in support of corporation DOM
lnation and to break down organized
tabor.
The result Of the course of these two
public men is now manifested in the
movements of the workingmen through
out the country. The labor organiza-
tions in Indiana are taking active meas
ures to throw the labor vote of the state
against the Republican candidate for
president. The laboring classes in Ohio
are preparing for grand holiday and a
big celebration in the Hooking valley
in honor of the grand Old Roman who
had the moral courage to see to it that
even and exact justice was done to the
Door coal diggers.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Aug. 9.-Although sched-
uled to leave promptly at z o'clock, the
steamer Sam Sloane with its load of
Blaine welcomers did not leave Pier 20
until near So'clock this morning, then
it went down the bay without any au-
thentic news Of the steamship City of
New York. The Sloane returned to her
dock at 9 p. M, and will not go down
the bay again in the morning unless the
steamer City of New York is reported
OFF Fire island by that time. To-day's
experience of the eXcursionists On board
the Sloane was the same as yesterdays.
They helped to pass away the time by
speeches, among the orators being G.
l.. Wilson, of Baltimore, Nat Dickey, of
Kansas City, A. r. Whitney, of New
York, and Jesse N. Cove, of Massa-
chuSettS.
The projectors and managers Of the
demonstration to Mr.. Blaine felt that
the delegations from ont of town should
not be kept here another day for the pa
rade and reviewing stand having been
erected at Madison Square on Fifth ave-
nue., it was tonight fully occupied and
the. parade took place. If Mr.. Blaine
arrives tomorrow, there is little doubt
but that another demonstration will be
held tomorrow.

THE ELEVATED ROAD.

After several bitches, the council has
at last granted the franchise to the
Enos company to build an elevated rail
way, the necessary two-thirds vote in
its favor having been cast at the meet
ing last night. Now that the charter
has been secured, although for only a
part of the distance originally contem-
plated, we take it for granted that the
Enos company will at once begin oper-
ationS, and before great while the city
will be enjoying a real metropolitan
luxury in the shape of an elevated cleo
trical railroad.
When the proposition was first SUBJ
mitted to the council to grant this fran
chise. the GLOBE took occasion to point
out the benefits to the city that would
result from the building of the road
benefits so important that we did not
believe the city could be unmindful of
them and retain its progressive condi-
tiOnS. The more the subject has been
discussed the more confirmed have we
been i'll the opinion, and it is naturally
gratifying to US to know that those who
differed with US in the beginning have
az iShSeh pccl clldUleu 10 SEE 1T III Tile
light in which we originally viewed it.
In granting the charter the council
has made careful provision to protect
all the interests of the city, not only as
relates to the present, but also as to the
future so far as human foresight can
discern possible contingencies. 1t is
seldom that franchise of this charac-
ter is granted in which the public in
terestS have been so carefully guarded
as in this instance. In fact, it has been
serious doubt in the minds of a good
many people whether the company
would be willing to accept a charter
with so many restrictions and limita-
tlons attached to it. Still the Enos
company have expressed them
selves as being satisfied with the
conditions of the franchise and
the persistency with which they have
continued to urge their application for
franchise upon council is fairly good
indication that the company means bus
mess. We hope their is no mistake
about this and that there will be no tri-
fling on the part of the company with a
matter of SO much public concern. And
to be candid, we have no idea that there
will be.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The eXecu-

Judge Brill yesterday granted a tenn
porary injunction in the suit of James
E. Brady against the West st. Paul
Building association, restraining de-
fendant from foreclosing it's mortgage.
The court held that before the mort
gage could be foreclosed it was neceS-
sary for plaintiff to be six months in ar
rears, and that the defendant could
show that the money was properly ap-
piled. ''Little harm could come in any
event to the defendant, in case of post
ponement, while the foreclosure might
work great damage to the plaintiff"

Witness said the laws here against
socialism are as stringent as in any coun-
try in the world. He gave his views on
socialism, anarchism and nihiliSm. Mr..
Most could not say that the liberal idea
here attracts socialists to the country.
Only about a dozen socialists and an
archists came to this country during the
past year. The anarchistic literature

scribed what an unlawful assembly is.
He would not accept his fee of 81 as
