A late dispatch from Boston tells of
an alleged change Of feeling among
capitalists in that city in relation to the
value Of western farm mortgages,
This form ofinvestment, it is said, is
not now regarded satisfactory by men
who have been sending their money

largest bank recently said that "New
England capitalists look with favor
on the south as the most desirable
field for Investments, and during the
coming winter representatives Of mon
ey corporations will visit Tennessee
and Alabama to look into mineral and
prosperous city properties" This is
not new, for these New England capi-

cause western farm mortgages are

Very General Obssrvsnos Of tho Holiday In

Very General Obssrvsnos Of tho Holiday In
the Largo Cities.
The observation Of Labor day has bee n
more general throughout the country
than any preceding year. In 1883 p. J..
Mcclure, of New York, originated the
idea of annual celebration in all the union
by members of the various trades and Ia
Dor organizations. Further, the time to
be fixed for this should be the first Mon.
day in September. Messrs. p. s. Mcclure,
Samuel Gompert and Robert Blissert were
the principal trainers Of the plan adopted,
and these gentlemen, prominent workers
in the labor cause, first gave it publicity.
The day was to be grand holiday. like
the Fourth Of July or Christmas. II was
to be celebrated BY music. festivals, speak
ing and great professions of the labor or
ganizations. The parades were to be .
leading feature. Members Of all the in.
dustrial trades, formed in battiiions and
divisions, were 70 march through the
streets with music PLAYING and banners
flying. Upon the banners we're to be in
scribed terse words showing the notices
aud aims Of the great labor unions.
Among such were the following: Com
pulsory Education" mo Child Labor, "
Sanitary Inspection of Factories, Eight
Hours a Day." The idea caught the pub
lie favor at once. That first year and ever
since Labor day has been celebrated. It
grows in favor in the great centers, and its
observance becomes annually moro impos-
ing.
Labor day is now legal holiday In New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachu-
sets, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan,
Colorado, California and several other
states.
The day this year was successfully OBJ
served in Chicago, New York. Boston.
Philadelphia, St. Louis. San Francisco,
Pittsburg, Denver, Albany, Omaha, In
dianapolis, Des Moines and many othsr
cities east and west.
