Action Taken by the National Association
of Union Ex-Prisoners of War.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. l9.-The National
Association of Union Elk Prisoners of
Wal met here. One hundred delegates
were present, representing every north
ern state and the men who were in
southern prisons. The major part of
the day was spent in exchange OF remin
iscences of prison lie. Gen. John &C.
burn of this city, made public before the
association some facts connected with
his effort as a special agent OF Gov. Nor
ton to have Indiana prisoners exchanged
during the war. He said he was referred
by the president to the secretary of war,
and by the latter in turn to others.
Finally he was given to understand dis
tinctly that it was not the policy of the
government to exchange prisoners, that
it would not be an equitable exchange
to return a healthy sound Confederate
fer Il starved, diseased and broken-down
Union man. He said he insisted at the
time hat Gov. Morton. should make
these facts public, but Morton, in defer
ence to S%tanton's wishes, refused to have
1t done.
The association condemned Col. C. C.

The siou. 10 Decide satnrdnx.

CHAMBERLAIN, Oak, Sept. 19.-The
great powwow of all the leading chiefs
of the Sioux Nation will be held at Lower
Brule Saturday. The matter of accept
ing or rejecting the Sioux bill will at
that time be definitely determined upon,
and upon this conference hangs the sue
cess or failure of the Sioux commission.
1t is owing to this powwow that the com
missioners concluded to remain at Lower
Brule a week longer. That the powwow
is to be held at the Lower Brule looks
favorable, as chiefs of Importance and
strength at the agency are heartily In
favor of the bill, and they will be heard
in no uncertain terms.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-Two large
delega&ons-one from Illinois and the
other from Kentucky-called on Gen.
Harrison, the reception of the first oc-
curing in University park at 10 O'Clock,
and Of the.second later in the afternoon.
An hour after that, however,. came the
delegates attending the meeting of the
National Association of Ex-Prisoners of
War. The latter visitors and the Hi
noissns, who came from Danville, num-
bered about 500 and 800, respectively.
Col. w. r. Jewell OF Danville spoke for
the Hlinoisans, and A. Wilson, candi-
date for congress in the Louisville dis
trict two years ago, introduced the Ken
tuckians to the general. On both occa-
sions, especially the latter, there was
great enthusiasm manifested. The speech
to the ex-pensioners of war was brief

Tho potency OF Facts.

4 fact i always q fact, whatever
may be the consequences. The ques-
ton is, whether it is true; the student
should recognize no. other. Many of
the facts encountered in our studies
are obscure and hard to explain, but
that does not prevent their being facts;
or, at least. the chief question should
be TO learn whether they are facts.
Besides. contradictory facts are the
ferment Of science. I once asked q dis
tinguished man OF science how q cer-
tain discovery he had made was
getting on 1T is not getting on" he
replied. s'What is the matter with
ftp" I anxiously asked. s'Why," he
said, find no facts except those that
are favorable to it; and" he added. lit
takes contradictory facts to teach US. ="
This is true. The theory will either
explain the contradictory facts and be
forfeited by them, as the Newtonian
theory has been by su the exceptions
that has been opposed to it and which
have entered into it, or will be replaced
by q vaster and more comprehensive
theory. In both cases there is a gain
for science. which would not have been
obtained If we had hesitated. on ac-
count Of vain scruples, to seek out and
verify the facts in question. Paul

IMPENDING STRIKE.

A Reduction of Wages On the C.. u. + Q.
to Be Followed BY q Tie-CP.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 2O.--The mad
dest men that have been seen in this city
for long time are the engineers, fremen,
brakemen and conductors OF the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy railway to-day. A
few months ago the employees asked FOX an
advance and they expected that their de-
mands would be granted, but to-day they
were amazed when they received the new
schedule to find that instead Of an advance
they are reduced in their wages, ranging
from S. to $l5 a month. A brakeman told
. reporter that they were upon the eve OF
one OF the worst strikes in the history OF
the road: that it would be an equal to the
strike OF 1877. He said that not . man on
the entire line would accept q reduction n,
wages and that when the first of the month
comes all hands are expected 20 quit WORK
and tie tho road up. The reason for the re.
duction in wages is not known to the men,
but q number of them attribute il to the
fact that the company has lost SO much
over their last strike that they are not able
to pay present wages.

Free Tobacco and Whisky.

Whatever may be the disappointment
of the republican masses OH account of
the candidates selected, it sinks into in.
significance in the presence of the senti-
ment with which they must regard the
platform. The despairing cry of the
senior local organ ofthe party, imploring
the convention to reconsider it's work,
was not the only evidence of this feeling.
Before the convention adjourned, the
delegates were besieged on all sides by
ministers of religion, college professors,
and other directors of idea and thought
in the community, who urgently be-
sought that the obnoxious free tobucco
and free rum" plank should be lescind-
ed. Further than this, one of our
Illinois senators "made no bones" of re-
flecting on the fact that the other sat
quietly BY and permitted resolution SO
repellant to every correct sense of polit-
ical propriety to be Incorporated in the
platform.
The senator who so emphatically OBJ.
jects to this resolution even went so far
as to say that, if he were Mr.. Harrison.
he would, in his letter of acceptance,
repudiate this section of the convention's
proceedings-thus metaph ,rically kick.
ing it out Of the platform.
But neither the prayers of the church
nor the indignant protests Of politicians
who may or may not regard it only
from the low plane of political ex pediency
we're of avail. The empty and mean
inRless resolution, introduced by Mr..
Boutelle at the last moment, was the
only concession; and this is mere likely
to still further offend, than to conciliate
those who really believe the promotion
of virtue and sobriety among the people
to be one of the characteristics of good
government.-Chicago News.
