SHERMAN TURNED OUT
for Others-A Brother of the General
Very Angry About the Matter.

CHICAGO, August 1.-Grand Army men
in this city were very much stirred up to-
dav about an Interview with Major Hoyt
Sherman, brother of General W. T. Sher-
man, which was published here. The gist
of it was that when General Sherman and
his brother reached the depot in Milwaukee
last night to take the train for this city, at
the close of the National Encampment, the
old warrior was very much fatigued; that
they were shown into a car and were just
comfortably seated, when lot of members
OF Phil Sheridan Post, of Chicago, came
into the car; that they insisted that the occu-
pants had no right there, and that the Cen
eral and his brother were compelled to seek
seats elsewhere.
Mr.. W. C. Curtis, Commander of Phil
Sheridan Post, was interviewed to-day in re-
gard to the matter. Mr.. Curtis admitted
that it was an awkward affair, but held that
the members of the post were not to blame
in the matter The trouble, he thought,
arose out Of the fact that the General was
tired and his brother unnecessarily quick.
tempered. The facts, he said, were that the
car had been chartered by number of
members of the post who had their wives
with them. When they reached the depot
they found the seats taken, and, not know
ing that General Sherman was on board,
ordered the porter to clear the car, which he
proceeded to do.
When the discovery was made that Gen
eral Sherman was being elected, & member
of the post offered him his seat, which was
declined. Mr.. Curtis says the General did
not seem angered about the matter, but that
Major Sherman was in high dudgeon. They
went forward into another car where seats
had been reserved for them.

TOO MANY, TRAMPS.
An Urgent Need for n Better Police System
at Johnstown-A Proposition Made
10 the Burgess-Finding of
Another Rody,


Another Body.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
JoHNsTowN, August 31.-There is much
complaint at the inaction of the Burgess in
lot causing the arrest of the drunken loafers
that are to be seen on the streets. Captain
Kuhn, Borough Solicitor, in speaking about
the matter, said: II have assured the
Burgess officially that he has ample power
to arrest these drunken vagabonds and make
them work have told him that if he has
no place for them to sleep at night he can
corral them on some vacant lot and let
them bunk on the ground. II necessary, he
can put chains on them during the day on
the streets"
Captain Hamilton says that if the Bur-
CESS puts these fellows to work and has
the dirt on the streets scraped up in piles he
will not only provide a guard Of soldiers
but will have the dirt hauled away at the
State expense. There must be 200 or 300
tramps in town, every one of whom ought to
be arrested forthwith.
1t is folly to say that because eight or ten
arrests per day are made no more could or
should be made. There is not a day that
from 30 to 100 of the vllest and most desper-
ate characters on the face of the earth could
not be picked up on Washington street and
in other parts of town.

Murder Was Committed.

ST. LOUIS, August 31.-While George
Atkins was passing the corner of Twelfth
and Morgan streets at an early hour this
morning he saw a man assault woman and
run away. When he (Atkins) went to pick
up the woman some unknown man rushed
up and stabbed him in the side, inficting a
fatal wound. All the parties then escaped,
leaving Atkins in the street. The police
have not yet succeeded in clearing up the
mystery surrounding the affair.

Gov. Hoard, of this state, per-
forms many acts which entitle him to
the commentator of the friends of
decency and good order. A prize
fight had been extensively advertised
to take place at Hurley, in the north
ern part Of this state; the prize Of
fered the winner was $500. Gov.
Hoard directed the Sheriff of the
county to arrest the parties con-
cerned in the fight; he received an
swer that the meeting of the fighters
would be suppressed. AS it was to
occur near the Michigan line, it was
thought that to evade the Wisconsin
authorities the contest might be
transferred to the Michigan side, but
Gov. Hoard received a telegram
from Gov. Luce, of Michigan, that
the officers of the law had been in
structed to prevent the meeting in
that state. A large crowd, many
from distance, collected on the day
set for the contest, but found them
selves on a fools GRAND. Gov.
Hoard, of this state, and Gov Luce,
of Michigan, are resolved to put an
end to these disgraceful and brutal
scenes, and for that purpose will use
all the powers which the law confers
upon them. The passion for prize
fighting appears to have been in
creasing in portions of Northern
Wisconsin and Michigan. 1t is a
stain on our civilization that there
are hundreds of men who would 90
a far greater distance to see couple
of human beings called men engage
in contest which is hardly more
respectable than dog fight, than to
see Bismarck, the greatest states
man of Europe. If the most dis.
tinguished man in all Europe were
to visit this country, there would be
less jostling, crowding and extrava
giant prices paid to obtain sight Of
him than there were to get only 6
look at the pugilist Sullivan, who
was the most defiant law breaker If
all the country.

ALTHOUGH there will be no State
or county elections in Wisconsin un-
til a year from the coming fall, but
thus early some unrest is manifested
among those ambitious to serve the
people. Very naturally at the Mill
waukee Encampment, there were
gathered prominent politicians from
different portions of the state. and it
was also natural these men should
confer together in respect to proba-
Ne candidates for the different state
officers. This is all proper enough,
provided such political consultations
are not calculated to forestall the
free choice of the people by manu-
featuring public sentiment. The
great Republican party does not rec
ognize within it machine to devise
it's policy and make selection of its
candidates for office, so that when
delegates sent to nominating conven.
tons have nothing to do except tc
confirm the choice of few assumed
leaders. 1t is said that the voice OF
large conventions cannot easily be
concentrated where there has beer
no preliminary action by few O.
the wiser ones. There is danger tina
the actions Of an entire party may
fall into the control of few leaders

The charge that the Bennett
school law, passed by the Legislature
last winter, interferes with the rights
of parochial schools because it re-
quires public school officers to ascer-
tain whether English is taught in
them, is still being discussed. The
Sentinel puts the matter in con-
denScd form as follows: "The prin-
cipal questions raised by it are two:
Ist, Is it proper for the state to con-
Germ itself with the subject of educa-
ton? And that being admitted. I'd,
Is it proper for the state to require
that the children growing up within
its borders shall receive sufficient in
struction to afford them an opportu-
nifty to learn to speak, read and
write it with reasonable huency?"
This is all the interference the late
school law has with the parochial
schools.

International Congress.

One of the most important events
that will occtr in our national his
tory, and which, in our judgment. is
of far more consequence to the well
fare of nations than the Worlds
Fair to be held in 1892, is an Inter-
national Congress, which will meet
in Washington in October next The
full import of this Congress cannot
be set forth in a single number of
this paper. 1t will represent the diff
ferent nations and sovereignties on
the American continent. The idea
OF it is not new one; it was pro-
posed and recommended by Hon.
James G.. Blaine over ten years ago,
and before now would have been
Consummated had Mr.. Blaine con-
tinued in the Cabinet of the United
States Government. The object of
the international Congress is the
adoption of measures to secure the
avoidance of the calamity of war by
providing a tribunal, to which ma
tional disputes shall be referred for
arbitration; also measures for the
better encouragement of trade and

The new election law for this
state, sometimes called the Cooper
law, for the reason that Senator
Cooper, of Racine, is the reputed
author of the law, is as yet but i'm
perfectly understood. The extent
of the application of the law will be
seen from the first section: Section
I. This act shall not apply to cleo
ton for town and village officers,
nor to elections in cities having
population of fifty thousand or more,
nor to elections in counties contain
ing such cities" Towns, villages
and cities will be required to follow
the directions of the law at national,
state and county elections. Inquiry
is made as to the method of voting
under the new law; it may be re-
marked the present method is radi
cally changed. Full instructions to
boards of election will be issued in
due time, and no doubt the fears
which some persons have entertained
of its being complicated and difficult
to observe will be removed. The
ballot should be regarded as sacred
trust, and it cannot be too vigilantly
protected

A large collection of Aztec deities,
which have been for the last three
years on exhibition at the Smithson-
ian institution, have been seized on
account of the debts Of their owner,
a poor artist, and are to be put up at

any heather who is short on gods to
make up his deficiency, but it is
playing it little low down on the
gods themselves. 1t must be cruel
blow, after having been for ages a

vinity, to be put up at auction in job
lots, but it only illustrates the muta,

commerce between the United
States and the countries of South
America. The movement is in the
interest of peace and true civiliza-
ton. The South American States
have at different periods during the
past fifty years been desolated by
destructive wars; it is not many
years ago when most cruel war
was waged by Chill against Peru,
that oldest South American coun-
try in history; its people were treat
ed with savage barbarity. The
neighboring states looked on and
saw the wrong being done, but Of
fered no interference to stop the
merciless blood shed. The cause of
the war could have been peaceably
adjusted had there been an interna-
tional method devised to settle con-
troversies between states. One of
our exchanges we'll remarks: "No
cause or aggregation of causes has
done SO much to retard the prosper
ity of Mexico and the several South
American states as the civil and in
ternational wars, which have been
the rule rather then the exception of
many of them. The Congress can
not too early devote its time to this
all important subject, before which
all other subjects of a national ma
ture sink into insignifcance."
Notwithstanding this age claims
to be one of advanced progress, it is
strange how the old war spirit still
holds sway in the minds of the peo-
pie. Now and then some small mis-
understanding between the United
States and some other country
arises. Many newspapers seize up
on it and proceed to speculate on
the chances of war, seeming to for
get that in civilized land there is a
better way to arrange national dis
putes than to resort to war. To H. |
lustrate: Two men have a dispute
over the ownership of a piece of
property. Instead of resorting to
peaceable and lawful measures, they
fall to pummeling each other; the
one who strikes the severest blows
wins the disputed property, SO in war
might becomes the determination Of
right. The nations of Europe have
made great progress during the past
quarter of century in the peace
policy, which accounts for the great
abatement of the war spirit.

The Loss of Sunday.

Most readers can remember what
Glamour was made when the street
cars began to run on Sunday Now
however, they run undisturbed by
any voice of protest from the most
conservative pulpit. But the inno-
walton in the old regime of Sunday
observance is much deeper and more
radical than that implied in the Sum
day tramway. Activities Of this ma
ture may be acquiesced in on the
ground of necessity, and SO made re-
concilable with belief in the essent-
tally religious character of the day.
The tendency of the change that has
taken place, and is still going on, is
to dissociate the American Sunday
from all religious uses and sanctions,
and to convert it into a secular holi-
day. How is this tendency, which
good citizens deprecate, to be ar
rested and changed ? We cannot
go back to Sabbatarianism, for that
is gone, neither is it necessary to
question the origin of Sunday,
whether it began in the Garden of
Eden, or at Sinai, or in connection
with the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. However it began, here it
is, and it has been for ages an integ-
raj part of our Anglo.Saxon cjviliza-
ton, and the most effectual way to
secure its religious observance is by
pointing out to the people with calm
and sober statement what is involved
in its secularization and what they
would lose thereby. And what
would they lose For the great
mass of people the loss of Sunday
would be the loss of their spiritual
life and of a living faith in God.
A man may say, can think of God
at any time, and pray to Him, or
mediate upon Him, or come into
communion with Him. Theoretical
ly, it is possible, but, as matter of
fact, will he do it Are we not so
fconstituted that we must come into
contact with the outward occasion
to catch and feel the thought for
which the occasion stands ? Can
we feel the full measure of Christ
mas JOY before the Christmas season
comes, or the uplifting gladness of
the Easter festival in advance of the
Eastertide +? How long would the
patriotism of any people endure
without the regular recurrence of
anniversary days !? We need not
multiply illustrations to show how
dependent we are, for the Develop
ment of our nature, upon this law
in matter of religion !? Sunday
stands for God, as no other day in
the week does. For the great mai
ority of persons, therefore, the loss
of surrender of Sunday as religious
day would be the loss of God

Such things have happened, if not in
this, they have in other states. In
such cases the true idea of a govern
ment of the people is subverted.
The reported meeting at Milwaukee
referred to, may not have been in
tentioned to shape the political af-
fairs of the state, but when office
holders and those supposed to desire
office, congregate privately together,
it always excites suspicion of move
ment in the interest of some one.
