BosToN, Aug. 14.-The convention OF
the twenty-fourth national encampment,
G. A. R., came to order in Music hall at
II a. Ill. Prayer was offered by Past
Chief Chaplain 1. NJ. Foster. Com
mander-in Chief Alger then delivered
his annual address.
As to the condition of the organiza-
ton he said that. with few exceptions. it
was excellent. "There have BEEN" he
continued, some disagreements i the
department of Louisiana and Mississippi
drawn upon the color line. 1t is the
same question that to-day is disturbing
many localities in the Southern part OF
this country, and which will require pa
thence ard concessions from all parties
to settle. 1t has been my determination
to recognize as u comrade the equal
rights of every man, no matter what his
color OF nationality, provided he has the
two qualifications-service and honor
able discharge"
With regard to the disability pension
bill he said: by n careful reading of
this law and the official explanation
given of it, it will be seen that, no mat

performing manual labor he is entitled
to Il pension.
Let Us BE just to Our Lawmakers,
even though they have not given us all
we asked. No country on earth is or
ever has been nearly as generous to its
soldiers as ours" Gen. A1ger closed his
address with a eulogistic reference to
Comrade John F. Hartranft, the fifth
commander-in-chief, who died during
the year. The address was received with

WHY did the board of equalization,
in so many instances reduce the
assessed valuation of railroad lands
while the adjoining lands of settlers
are increased or left as they were?
The discrimination against the set
tier in this matter is agross injustice.
The following instances will suffice
to show the injustice of the equaliZa-
ton, being fair samples of the way
railroad lands were equalized:
All of townships 1870 and lao, range
81, reduced 20 per cent (from $l.25 to
81 per acre.)
All lands in township 13s, range 90,
reduced 20 per cent.
All lands in townships 40 and 14l,
range 90, reduced 20 per cent.
All lands in township l41, range 90,
reduced 20 per cent.
All lands in township 1873, range 90,
reduced go per cent.
All lands in township l40, range 90.
reduced 20 per cent.
All lands in township 1873, range SO,
increased so per cent.
The lands of the settler have been
equalized the other way, as the fol.
lowing, representing government
lands proved up on OF railroad lands
that have been sold and not now
owned by the company show:
N 9 section 2, 1870, 90, increased
to 50 per acre.
NwA section 9, 1870, 90, increased
to 81 per acre.
Sw1 section 2, 1870, 9G, increased
to IS per acre.
All of section 4, 1870, 90, increased
to IS per acre.
E X section S, l39, 90, increased tt
$3.50 per acre.
w 4 and s e "A section 6, l39, %
increased to So per acre.
All of section 10, l39, 90, increased
to $3.50 per acre.
NeA section 90, 139, 90, Increases
to $l.50 per acre.
All of section 81, l39, 90, increases
to $1.25 per acre.
Ne1 section "a, 14O, 90, increases
to 50 per acre.
SEX section "a, lao, 90, increase
to $3.50 per acre.
S. w. u section "a, 14O, SO. III
creased to IS per acre.
Sw4 section IA, 1870, 81, increase
to $3.50 per acre.
We ask the people to compare til
work of the board and they will
once see how the men they ha,
elected as commissioners are workir
against their interests and for
corporation worth millions of dollar
The law says taxation must be ju
and equal, yet the people are discri1
mated against in this manner. w:
they stand it! Their lands are wort
no more than those of the railro;
company and the injustice of Il
equalization is an outrage that will
resented. The members of the boa
nave violated their duty and W
find that the people demand just al
equal taxation.

The Man from Vermont Unanimously
Chosen Commander-in-Chief.
Boston, Aug. 14.-At the afternoon
session of the G.. A. r. officers were
elected, the principal positions going to
the East in pursuance, as is claimed by
some, of a plan to give the encampment
to the West three successive years-De-
troit in 1891, Topeka in 1892 and Chicago
in 1893. The roll was called and repre-
s~entatives of each state had an opportu-
nifty to name. their choice for comman-
der-in-chief. California presented the
claim of Col. Smedberg, a retired officer
of the regular army. Connecticut named
Col. Wheeler c. Veasey, of Vermont,
and Maine seconded the nomination.
Col. Veasey's name was received with
applause. Indiana and Ohio named
Gen. Alvin P. Hovey, of Indiana. Min
nesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Idaho and Iowa expressed a preference
for Col. Veasey.
After a few more states had voted
Messrs. Hovey and Smedberg withdrew
their names, and Col. Veasey's election
was unanimous.
In Detroit Next Year.
The encampment unanimously voted
to hold the next encampment in Detroit,
the home of Gen. Alger. Gen. Alger
expressed thanks at the action Of the en-
canpment and assured the delegates
that they would receive a warm wei
come, although it would DO a hard task
to equal the reception they had received
in Boston.
The encampment then adjourned ull-
til 10 a. m.

THE VETERANS PARADE.
The Procession of the G. A. T.. at Boston
noridaI Quccoas

The Procession of the G. A. II. at Boston .
Decided Success.
Boston, Aug. 13.-Had the weather
been made to order for the veterans the
conditions could hardly have been more
favorable for the G. A. R. demonstra-
ton. The : sun was entirely obscured,
while u brisk northeast wind held the
flags straight out from their masts.
At an early hour the formation of the
parade was proceeding with all possible
dispatch on Commonwealth avenue.
Departments were moving in parallel
streets until opposite their proper places
and then coming into position through
side streets. The common and streets
adjacent thereto were
Black With Marching Posts,
while many thousands of spectators
witnessed the from the
public garden and every other spot in
the neighborhood where space could be
| procured.
At 1870 all were ready. Commander
in-Chief Alger, with his full staff of 600
mounted men, escorted by the E. w.
Kinsley post, of Massachusetts,, mounted,
and headed by q corps of mounted po-
lice, rode to the head of the Illinois de-
partment. The band struck up "God
Bless the Soldiers" and, at the COM
mand of the leader, the greatest street
pageant ever witnessed in Boston began
its onward march.
At the Reviewing Stand.
At lao p. m. a squad of mounted po-
lice, Immediately followed by Com
mander-in-C Chief Alger and staff made
their appearance in Adams square. The
appearance of Gen. Alger, who rode a
spirited bay, was the signal for the arts,
ing of Mr.. Harrison and cabinet. As
each department came in front of the
stand colors were dipped, hats raised
and in many instances rousing cheers
given for the president. As the posts
went by carrying battle flags, and az
their tattered and torn folds caught the
breezes every occupant rose and cheered
Justify, while the ladies of the party
waved their handkerchisfs.
The commander and staff were re
ceived on the stand by Gen. Butler ant
others. Hardly had he taken his posi-
ton on the reviewing stand when tn
head of the procession came in sight
Generals Ager and Butler stood side b.
side, saluting column after column q

A WAR ON THE KNIGHTS.
Strike Prccipitated OH the New
York Central by Aggressive
Acts of officials.
Eight Thousand Employees Go
Out, But New Men Take
Their Places.
Strikers Disheartened by the Failure
of Brotherhood Men to Join
Them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The strike of
the employees o. the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad was begun
in earnest at $50 p. III.
No one seems to know how the strike
was ordered or who gave the signal to
strike. J.. j. Holland, a member of the
executive board of the X. of L., denied
that he had ordered or even that he
knew that a strike had been ordered.
Several of the strikers were inter-
viewed on the matter, but declined to
talk further than to say that it would
prove to be the biggest strike before it
was over that the peoplein the East had
seen for some years.
The Central's Position.
Vice President Webb has given the
following circular to the press: "The
position of the company is this: We
will select our Own men, and we do not
propose that they will be designated by
the knights of Labor or its committees.
| When men are dismissed we shall get
| rid of the inefficient, the most vicious
and those least in accord with our in
tercsts. When promotions are made we
will not he bound by the seniority rules
promulgated by the knights of Labor.
A due consideration will always be
given to the length of service. but the
first and most important rule will bethe
qualification of the men for the place
IF the men have grievances the proper
officers will be willing to grant hearings
md see that consideration is given, but
we will
Not Allow Outsiders to Intervene
OF interfere between the employer and
the employe. For this reason alone l
refused to allow Mr.. Holland to discuss
any differences alleged to exist between
| the company and its men and not for the
reason, as stated, that we object to our
employees being members of the labor
organizations. These are my views and
l am satisfied that they are %concurred
in and approved by every official of the
company, by its board of directors, and
by the gentlemen who are most inter-
ested in it's securities. The strike is ill
advised, cannot succeed aad we will put
it down and maintain the position we
have taken"
Eight Thousand Men Out.
District Master Workman E. j. Lee
said that between here and Buffalo
there We're about 5000 men out. Reports
received by him all along the line show
everything to be in good condition. In
his opinion those men who have not
gone out lean very strongly towards the
strikers

A BLOW AT THE INTERSTATE LAW.


CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 13.-The de-
cision Of Judges Jackson and Sage, of
the United States court, throwing the
interstate commerce commission out of
court on their suit against the Baltimore
and Ohio is n complete knockout for
the commission. It is held that party
or theatrical rates are just and proper,
and subject alone to the provions that
rates must be just and reasonable,
and that no unjust discrimination be
made against persons or traffic similarly
circumstance. The interstate com
MERGE act leaves common carriers just
where they were under the common
carrier law, the judges say, free to make
and to classify and scale their charges
as to them seems best.

M1NNEAPoLIs, Aug. 1.-THE Evening
Journal publishes the following: Ads
patch has been received in the city by
E. T. LeClair, manager Of the Baltimore
Packing company, from the manager Of

The four days are up, the dispatch

plant may be entirely destroyed in the
meantime.

why the law authorizes this unjust dis
elimination against the whites.
Last year Peter Barhite, a farmer liv-
ing near Spearfish, sowed two acres of
onions, but the season was so dry, and
he had no means at hand for irrigation,
that the onisns were too small to be

left in the ground through the winter.

started them growing. and he now has
