impression that what portion Of the time

THE declaration by tine New York cour

The declaration By tine New York courts
that the charitable bequest Of William B.
Ogden is void. because it creates trust in
which there is no beneficiary to enforce it,
is in the same line as that concerning the
Tilden bequest. The radical contrast be-
tween the decisions against charitable trusts
and those against monopolistic trusts is that
the former break up the deserving trusts,
while the class which squeeze the people
do not regard the decisions as worth men,

to the favorable consideration of the various States and Territories. Resolved, That while the party Tn power in 1869 pledged the faith of a nation to pay debt in coin that had been contracted on a dcprecia- ted currency basis and payable in currency, thus adding S1 ,OOO, ,O0O,- = GOO to the burden of the people, which meant gold for the bondhold- CT and appreciated currency for the soldier, and holding that the men who imperilcd their lives to sav+ the life of a nation should have been paid i'll money as good as that paid to the bondholdcr, we demand the is- sue of legal tender treasury notes in sufficient amounts to make the pay of the soldiers equal to the par with coin, or such other legislation as shall do equal and exact justice to the Union soldiers of the country.
 Resolved, That as eight hours con i stitute legal days work for govern ment employees in mechanical de- partments, we believe this principle should be further extended so as to apply to all corporations employing labor in the different states of the Union.
 Resolved that this conference con demn in unmeasured terms the action of the directors of the Worlds Co- lumbian exposition of May 10, in re- fusing the minimum of wages asked for by the labor organizations of Chi cago.
 Resolved, That the attorney general of the United States should take im- mediate provision to submit the act of March ,, 1889, providing for the the opening of Oklahoma to home stead settlements, to the L. <. Su- preme court, so that the expensive and dilatory litigation now pending there be ended.

The proprietor of this nam. moth bazaar is Johnny Wanamaker, Prcsldant Harrison's Postmaster General.
 En route home we passed in day light through the picturesque Blue Ridge country. Harper Ferry and John Browns fort were seen, ,forciblv reminding Us of a memorable incl dent connected with the late unpleas- antness. In Pennsylvania, New Jer sev and Delaware fields of waving grain and broad meadows of blue grass and clover greeted the eye on every side, and the abundance of fine stock and comfortable farm houses were noticeable. Similar prosperity was seen in most of the other States through which we pass ed. In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Nir- ginia and West Virginia the wheat crop is surprisingly fine.
 The journey was made from St. Louis to Philadelphia and return over the Ohio & Mississippi and the Baltimore and Ohio railways. This route surpasses all others. Every well informed traVeler Will agree thSt it is the best, safest, swiftest line from St. Louis to the East, and this is a piece of information worth hay ing. To assistant passenger agents, J. T. Bratton, of Baltimore, and F. T. Houser, of Washington, we are deeply indebted. They accompani- nied us, the former from Washington to Baltimore, the latter from Wash ington to Cumberland, and both were dlligent and untiring in their efforts to contribute to the comfort and enjoyment of the party.
