These manufacturers gather around them
| these vast sums which they are permitted to
keep for protecting American labor, and
when they are tired of their homes and sur
roundings they go off to their summer re-
sorts. You will find Mr.. Carnegie in the
highlands of Scotland. You will find him
some morning threading his way across the
dewy upland, carrying Il striped umbrella
and singing: eff body meet body" But
there is one variation in the familiar tune
this great phflanthropist sings it. He
would sing it: ''if body rob body need
body cry?' [Laughter.l
1 want you to carry home with you this
fact, that out of the sc. 600 900 people in this
country $500 own more than oneh half of the
wealth. This state of affairs is the result of
the policy of some who are here to- night 1t
is stubborn adherence to party power.
VIII you lend your assistance TO deliver the
country out of the jaws of distress into
which it is plunging? Can no appeal, no
distress when it brings tears from the eyes
of your wife and children, can nothing
persuade you to lay aside party preju-
dices? To day the head of the Repub-
lican party is locked up in the lists
of the monopolists. The party now in
power said when they resumed the reins OF
government that they would give as clean
administration; that they would give us
free coinage of silver and that they would
enforce civil service reform. They SAID
that simply because Grover Cleveland llong
continued applausel had not followed civil
service reform, they would snow NudC tHeIE
admin istration could do Before the Ad-
minstration was six months old every
fourth class postmaster appointed by MIR.
Cleveland had been removed. They also
said that they would protect a great
American industry by putting
duty en- hides. But the boot and
shoe men at Boston and Lynn told them
that that would never do and we heard no
more about hides. They said: 1--WE do not
want protection on the things we buy, but
on the things we sell. You must have known
that. How could you make such mistake as
that?" Then they came down But when
they could do nothing with civil service nor
hides they made a final heroic stand on cab
bages. Laughter. They said we will put
a duty of three cents per head on cabbages.
You should all see the fallacy of this sys-
tenn of protection. Iappeal to both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. Come with us. If
you do not come with for all time, come
for awhile at least and he'll US to restore the
country to prosperity. Come with US till
then, and if you do not like us we will give
you a striped umbrella and escort you back.
Stand by us. The only sacrifice you will
have to make is one of prejudice. Lay that
aside and help to put ships upon every
sea, manned by honest American men. APP

INDIANS AT SCHOOL.

What They Learn in the G reat Govern.
ment School at Carlisle, Pa.
With seventy-six Sioux children from
Dakota and fifty-one from tribes in the
Indian Territory the great Indian train
ing school at Carlisle, Pa, was opened
November 1, 1879. 1t has now enrolled,
representing fifty different tribes. and
the graduating class this year num-
bered forty-three. In the early years
the school was obliged to breasta fierce
opposition from many quarters. but year
by year the school grew. The name.
of Carlisle is now known in every In
dian camp, and there are few reserva.
tions east of the Sierras which have
not in them returned Carlisle students
The course of study pursued COM
prises ten years. training in the ordi-
nary English branches and at the end
of the ten-year period the Indian child
is graduated. He is still two years be-
low the grade of the high-school grad
uaCe in the public schools, but he can
read. write and figure his way along
side the average boy.
The children upon entering the school
are filthy, unframed to habits of cleanli-
ness welded to the vices of the savage.
and accoutred in the habiliments Of the
wigwam. Their hair is long and the
comb and brush are strangers.
The school work proper at Carlisle is
supplemented and made all the more
useful by systematic Industrial training.
Many Of the boys are apprenticed to
trades, at which they are obliged to
labor part of every day. Those who
have no aptitude for the trades are as
signed to farm work and EMPLOYED in
the dairy. Hundreds of boys have been
sent out to farmers and dairymen and
others to tradesmen and mechanics.
where they can learn not only to work.
but learn also how white people live.
The girls are likewise taught house
duties, gardening, dairying, etc Every
pupil, male or female. at Carlisle works
every day except holidays and when i'll.
AS consequence, every pupil returns
home knowing how to do something
and do it we'll, whether he uses his
knowledge or otherwise.
There are shops in which blacksmith
ing, printing, carpentering, shoemak.
ing, harnessmaking, tailoring, tin work
and wagonmaking are skillfully done
and taught. The pupils Of Carlisle
make their own clothing. boots and
shoes, and do nearly all the mechanical
work about the large establishments.
They successfully manage a large
farm and dairy. They made last wear
81, 600 for themselves. besides produce
ing great deal of food and making
numerous articles for the school. This
school furnishes the Indian service
harness, wagons and tinware 1t is an
immense workshop, and all the labor is
performed by Indians, the white EN-.
ployes directing them.
And at the commencement these same
lads and lassies, who work half the timo
with their hands, showed that they. put
in the other half to good advantage
with their books. Their essays. ore.
tions, declamations and songs would
compare favorably with those of any
J white high school, Omaha World.

An Unrxpectel Visit.

OMAHA. Neb., July 26.-President
Charles Francis Adams of the Union
Pacific reached Omaha rather unex-
pectedly yesterday morning. Various
rumorS were soon rife concerning
further changes in officials along the
line. None are confirmed save that all
master mechanics are to be removed.
This is fulfilling the policy laid down
by Mr.. Adams on his last visit. A
grievance committee of trainmen will
meet him to-day. The recent agree
ment between the company and train
men is being daily violated by division
superintendent and a strike is immi-
nent unless terms can be arranged with
President Adams.

Russia'S Protest.

LONDON. July 26.--M. Nelidoff, the
Russian Ambassador to Turkey, has
presented a note from Russia to the
Porte. declaring that the granting by
Turkey of the concessions demanded by
Bulgaria would humiliate the Sultan.
The Bulgarian demands, the note says,
are maneuvers to strengthen the toeter-
ing throne of Prince Ferdinand and his
illegal rule. Furthermore, the note
says that Bulgaria is hostile to Russia,
and that the Porte's condescension to
the principality would be an unfriend-
ly act towards Russia and might lead
to serious consequences.

THE CRUSOE ISLAND.
A Curse Seemingly Resting Upon This Fair
Sneck of Paradise.

A Curse Seemingly Resting Upon This Fair
Speck of Paradise.
A German traveller, Herr Alexander
Ermel, has recently paid lengthy visit
to the historic Robinson Crusoe Island,
and has published an interesting ac-
count of the hermit enthusiast who has
been living there since 1877. In that
year the Government of Chilli offered to
rent the island to the highest bidder.
Strange to say, a Swiss of noble family,
Alfred de Rodt, restless genius, who
had fought on the Austrian side in the
war of 1866, and on the French in the
war of 1s7O-71, was the assumed lucky
com pc titor. The poetic flavor of the.
Robinson Crusoe Island attracted him,
! and he thought to found there place
of contentment and rest after life OF
remarkable ups and downs. But he
failed to find what he sought. He had
discovered by sad experience that one
individual can not manage to cultivate
the island. Although he put his whole
fortune, fully fifty thousand dollars, in
to the enterprise, the end has been
failure, with himself physically a wreck.
His term of lease expired in 1885, but he
can not resist the spell and fascination
of the island. He still lives there, and
intends to die there. He had brought
only few colonists with him; and be-
sides these there are still a few very old
men from the time when the island was
a penal colony of Spain. The writer
concludes, that curse seems to rest up
on this fair speek of paradise, and that
the island which ought with it's wealth
of vegetation be able to support flourish
ing colonies, now scarcely furnishes
sustenance for few men. Such is the
tragedy of the Robinson Crusoe Island
in our day.-N. Y. Independent.
Recently L. C. Ballard, of Farming
dale, n. Y, got a letter from the post
office which was written by his uncle,
the late Captain Loring Ballard, in 1865
The letter was written to man who
was a sailor, and had left port before re-
ceiving it, and it had been forwarded
about all over the world, and finally
sent to the dead letter Office, and from
there to Farmingdale.

All that remains of poor Ed Ruffner's
body was discovered Thursday and was
taken to Cincinnati in charge of his two
brothers. Tho Ruffner brothers arrived
at o'clock and were taken at once to
the mouth OF the tunnel, whore the eff
fects had been discovered They imme-
diately identified the revolver as their

vestigation proved that the bones were
the sole remains of the express messen-
ger. A part of the jaw bone was picked up
and the charred teeth fell from 1t with
the gentle movement. Several smaller
fragments of bone there were, and one
larger piece that was pronounced part
of the elbow joint. There were an inch
or two Of the bones of both the upper
and fore arm, the fragments being at
right angles with one another, as If the
elbow had been turned. Leaving this
ghastly memento on the surface Of the
debris, the brothers traced line on
the earth to the spot whore the hand
should have been, and, digging into
the ground, they unearthed a ring
which Ruffner had worn in life. A
brass seal, the wooden handle of which
had been consumed in the flames, was
also found, the piece being stamp
