The general drift of the talk is strongly
Veazey- ward. The New Englanders are gener-
ally enthusiastic for him, his own Department of
Vermont being particularly so. He is also quite
strong in Massachusetts. Illinois aud Penn
sylvania are understood to be ready to unite
on him, although no formal action to that effect
has been TAKEN or can be until all OF the del
egates are present. The only objection urged
against VeaZey is that he is O Federal Office
holder, but to this the instant reply is that the
Office he holds is a semi judicial, wholly nom
partisan one, that he is not in politics. and
aspiros to no Office, so the objection does not
count.
1t also looks as If the next Eneampment will
be held in Detroit. The Wolverines want IT.
and want it badly. They offer one of the most
beautiful cities in the country, community as
loyal. live and enterprising AS that of Boston,
and accommodations that cannot be surpassed
anywhere. Ii Detroit should be chosen. the

certain.

RAILROAD RATES, ACTUAL AND POSI-
RTE

The squabble among the railroads at
Chicago for the traffic to Boston last week
demonstrated the extent of the extortion
practiced upon the travelling public under
ordinary circumstances. Tickets were adj
vertised, good for 30 days, at one full fare for
both ways, or in other words at half price
So anxious were the roads for the business
even ut this figure that they began TO cut
prices right and left, till tickets were
openly sold at So below the half rate.
IF this is n profitable business, what excuse
can be given for the ordinary charges which
are kept up by "pools," agreements" and
combinations
There is none, and railroad managers in
reply to questions of this kind in behalf Of
the public simply quote the late William ii.
Vanderbilt "The public be -"
In freight charges the same barefaced
game of grab has long been i'll vogue. Not
long ago case in point came out. From a
certain place in South Dakota, railroad
controlled by the Vanderbilts charged rate
equal to II mills ton q mile to haul wheat
to Chicago, which, Of course, the farmer had
to pay in the shape of reduction in the price
of his crop. AS soon as Chicago was reached,
however, roads controlled by the same people
could afford to take the wheat to New York
at the rate Of five mills ton mile.
The difference was simply on account of
competition in the latter instance.
Again, Western roads have made contracts
with certain millers along their lines, under
the operation of which they bought all the
grain produced in given territory TO the ex-
clusion of all others No one else was allowed
elevator or car facilities, and the farmer was
obliged to sell to this one buyer at what
ever he chose TO pay, or not at all. Still,
people who complain of this sort of oppression
are styled "cranks" With blind infatua
ton that money is bludgeon with which
monopoly can beat down all demands for
justice, the railway autocrats of this country
are oblivious to the change that ia impend-
ing, and which should come at once through
the interposition of the strong arm of Con-
gress.
The trouble with Congress is that half
its members were railroad attorneys before
they were elected.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

One OF the political phenomena of the day
is the Farmers Alliance. What its precise
mission is 20 be, is not yet apparent Unlike
its predecessor, the Grange, its chief develop
ment has so far been in the South, although
il has shown itself in some of the North
western and Middle States. In the South
west there is a kindred organization, called
the Wheel, indigenous to Arkansas
In Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina,
the organization has sprung into power with
a degree of suddenness that has sent a cold
chill down the moss-grown backs Of the
politicians who have parceled out the offices
among themselves ever since the war. There
has not been such q political shaking up in
Dixie" for years. A long list of the
veterans who have been in Congress since
"befo' de wah," except for the four years
they served in the rebel army, will be miss
ing after March 4, 1891.
1t is believed by many that the move
ment in the South is merely a cover under
which the "Outs" can shake OFF the oligarchy
that has been Gin" long enough in their
opinion. Sointolerant is political prejudice
in that section, that il would not be safe to
undertake such a revolution under parti.
san banner.
Certainly it is not distress among the
farmers Of the South that is the cause Of dis
satisfaction, for the crops of these States have
been good for several years past In the
North and West, however, different condi-
ton Of things prevails. Here low prices, high
freight charges, and successive failures in
the yield of staple cereals has eliminated in
distress and dissatisfaction which is looking
for remedy. This may account for the
existence Of the Alliance there.
Again, the farmers may simply have

/ that the proper elixir for all social ills is
organization, and they want 10 try it, They

are banded together to resist the encroach.
ments Of capital, and capital is Likewise
organized TO prevent dictation on the part
of its employees. Thus we have trades union,
on the one side, and trusts and pools and

The outcome Of the movement will b,

But the superlative decoration in honor Of
the Encampment is seen in the public gardens.
Never has the city florist done himself 80
proud. The patriotic emblems and corps
badges are not only numerous but complete.
They are not only complete. but elaborated in
minutia and artistic excellence beyond any
thing that has heretofore been attempted in
Boston, and probably never surpassed in the
country. In the matter Of scenic effects the
Public Garden is the superlative. The orna-

into complete harmony with the special En-

this display that in flower and plant bed work
the veterans Of this Eneampment enjoy the
finest spectacle ever seen on this continent.
Every corps badge is bedded out in rare flowers,

GEN. GRANTS TOMB.

So disgraceful has been the treatment OF
the tomb OF Gen. Grant by New York city,
that the removal of the remains of the great
commander is once more seriously proposed
in Congress. A few days ago Senator Plumb,
of Kansas, offered a resolution looking to the
! interment of the remains at Arlington Gem
etery where Sheridan and thousands of other
comrades are buried. The Senate passed
the resolution without dissenting voice.
The course of the people of New York has
been characteristic of the community. Gen.
Grants grave has been simply viewed from
commercial standpoint, and made the pivot
OF a real estate speculation. A venal local
government has proceeded to open streets,
lay out boulevards, and make other i'm
prOvements about the tomb MS q center. A
roadhouse of questionable reputation has
been planted along side of it, and stables
fairly crowd mp TO the very site of the oven
like structure.
All effort TO build the boosted million
dollar monument has practically ceased,
except TO the extent Of an occasional inter
view in the local press. Enough money was
raised TO yield interest sufficient to support
in comfort Secretary" and one or two
other hangeFs-on Of The Monument Commit
tee, and these gentlemen evidently do not
wish this condition of things to be disturbed
by diverting the money to the payment for
monument They know soft snap when
they get it, and are as quiet rs oysters, ex-
cept now and then, when stirred up to a re-
tort by popular Indignation. Then comes
the quarterly interview in New York pa
per, which is always the same, and never
other than full of hope.
The fact of the business is, however, that
the people of the country who have been
gulled by lot of moneymaking sharpers
are getting tired. They have exercised a
wonderful patience for five years, and can
not he expected to endure the shame of this
thing much longer

The agitation in favor of an eight-hour
day continues among the laboring classes OF
England. At a recent public discussion in
London the case of the Province of Victoria,
in Australia, was cited to prove that all
that was necessary to put the plan in opera
ton was law fixing the legal working day
at this length. The fact is, however that
before the law was passed, prohibitory
tariff WAS placed upon everything pro-
duced or capable of production in Victoria,
so that the workers Of the country had an
absolute monopoly of their home market.
England, with It's free trade, or rather reve-
nue. tariff system, could not compete for her
own markets against the cheap labor and
long hours of Germany and France, should
an eight-hour day be adopted and produc-
ton cut down 20 or % per cent. with the
cost of the days labor to remain unchanged.
II is equally certain that the wages of the
British working classes are now at the
lowest living notch.

As usual Central America is in the midst
of political row. !, 1t seems that Salvador
and Guatemala are at war. Owing to n
constitutional popularity of the Latin Ameri-
cans, they are unable to detect the differ
ence between the truth and lie, so we do
not know with any degree of certainty what
is actually going on. From the general
tenor of the dispatches, however, we are
able TO believe that some sort of an armed
disturbance is underway, and that Guate-
mala is getting the worst of it,
