kENBUCkY ELECTION.
The New State Constitution Carried by
an Overwhelming Majority.

The New State Constitution Carried by
an Overwhelming Majority.
LOUISVILLE. KY, Aug. 4.-This was
the last election by vive voce vote that
will ever be held in Kentucky. The
new constitution, despite the powerful
opposition of railroads. banks and cor.
porations generally, has carried by an
Overwhelming majority, and the last
state constitution that still recognizes
slavery is a thing of the past. The new
constitution will tax railways. banks
and stock companies, abolish the Office
Of if ,lic printer: provide for a secret
ha5"t system and municipal government
reforms and also carries all anti-Iottery
clause which will wipe out the half
dozen lottery charters now being oper-
ated with serni-daily dra wings at Gov
ington and Louisville in the interests of
"Policy' games throughout the United
States generally.
Reports from the cities and towns
throughout the state indicate that the
Democratic ticket has about the usual
majority-probably 10000. The vote
for and against the new constitution
was without partisan significance.
Later returns indicate that the vote for
the new constitution is fully five times
as great as that against it.

PARADE: ECHOES,
The Column Was Six Hours in Passing
the Reviewing Stand.

The Column Was Six Hours in Passing
the Reviewing Stand.
DETROIT. Aug. Sit was precisely
ten minutes after when, with a SIGH
of relief, Commander-in-C Chief Veazey
swung his slOuch hat on his head and
grasped the hand of ex-President HAYES.
Six hours before he had given the signal
for the head of the column to move, and
for over five of them had kept on his
feet while the veterans marched past
the grand stand and saluted. The VET
Grams, foot sore and worn out as they
We're, for the line of march
covered over five miles, were
in the best of spirits. With
the enthusiasm Of the immense
crowds, the broad and we'll paved ave-
nues, the ample police arrangements
and the wire ropes that were stretched
on either side of the roadway along the
entire line of march and which kept the
throngs from encroaching on the for
nation OF the line, they were fain to
admit that it was one of the most pleas
Ing and successful turnouts in the his
tory of the organization. The range
ments for feeding the multitude were
likewise ample, and the tens Of thous-
ands OF hungry men and women who
fled hither and thither in search Of sus-
tenance for the inner man when the
parade was finally disbanded, found no
cause for complaint All in all the CT
of the straits has done itself proud.
For the first time in the history Of the
order an ex-president of the United
States marched with the posts of his
native state. 1t WAS Rutherford B.
Hayes that won this distinction. He
joined the Cleveland post i,,st before it
reached the reviewing stand. s;sluted as
he passed the commander. III chief. and
marched several blocks with the Buckeye
lads before he retraced his steps to the
grand stand.

A NOVEL FRAUD,

The Postoftice Department a fter Cam
adian Enterprise.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The officers of
the assistant attorney general for the
oostofice department have at last adop-
ted plans, approved by the postmaster
general which it is thought will break
up very novel and extensive fraudulent
enterprise, that of the Home Fascin-
ator company" of Montreal, which,
with the aid Of mails has been working
very successfully upon many creduluous
people in the United States. This con-
Germ, it is stated, publishes monthly
journal called 'The Home Fascinator,'
alleged to be devoted to useful knowl-
edge, romance, etc. The s'etc." seemed
to cover the greater part of tke paper
and consisted of an advertisement of
four prizes, to be awarded to persons
sending in the largest correct list of
English words of not less than four let
ters, constructed from the letters con-
tanned in the words 1.-THE worlds fair"
each competitor to send with each list
the sum of 81, the subscription price of
the paper. An enormous circulation
has been acquired throughout the United
States on the basis of this offer The
first prize consisted of 81 900 in gold,
the second prize a grand piano valued
at $500, and the fourth prize, a sewing
machine estimated at $65. AS
to the third prize, consisting of
q silver tea set, gold lined
and valued at $12O, the clever and unique
plan was adopted Of awarding it to
Thousands of Persons.
Circulars asking for $3.50 to pay for
packing and shipping the prize, it is
stated. have been freely distributed
throughout Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa
and Pennsylvania, so far as advices have
been received. Canada has no statute
authorizing the stoppage of payment of
money orders or the delivery of regis
tered letters addressed to a person
working fraud through the mails.
The postmaster general of this country
cannot prevent the issuance of money
orders or the mailing of registered
letter. so it looks as if the scheme would
work with no power to prevent the
complete success of the swindle. The
department. seemed powerless to act
and avert the consumlnation of 81 eat
wrong, carried on through it's own
mails, until it was suggested that all
American terminal postofices, .desig-
mated as exchange postoffices with
Canada, should be treated as offices of
destination, and the postmasters there
instructed by wire to refuse to certify
money orders OF forward registered let
ters payable and directed to The Home
Fascinator company, Montreal, Canada,
but to return the same to the offices of
origin marked fraudulent. It is ex-
pected that my thousands of letters
containing money will be restored to
the senders.

The Grand Army Parade at Detroit
One Of the Largest in it's
History.
Fully Forty Thousand Men in Line
.-- Made up Entirely of Old
Veterans
Washington and Lincoln, Neb., Work
Hard for the Next Annual
Encampment.

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-The parade of the
Grand Army veterans was the grandest
ever made by the organization. About
40,OU0 men were in line made up entirely
OF old veterans, not a single military
company turning out. The Fourth
regiment, however, did police duty dur
ing the day. The city was given over
to the veterans, every street within
three blocks of the line of march being
closed by the proclamation of the mayor
and intrusion further guarded against
by the roping off of the section and the
stationing of strong armed guard at
each street intersection.
The parade started from the corner of
Woodward and Adams avenues shortly
after 1890 a. NJ, the hour set, and
marched over the course laid out, dis
tance of about two and half miles. At
p the reviewing stand were General Yea
zey, conmander-in-chief, and a dozen
governors of states, among them Gov
ernor Fifer, of Illinois; Ex-Governor
: Oglesby, from the same state; Governor
Peck, of Wisconsin,: Governor Camp
bell, OF Ohio; Governor Winans, of
Michigan, with his staff; General Miles,
of the United States army; Gen
eral Lucius Fairchild; Mrs John
A. Logan, and General G. H. Freeman.
The Illinois veterans were assigned
the right of line, a.1d followed the com
mander-in- chief and staff. The other
departments marched in the following
order: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Maine, California, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Po-
tomac, Virginia, Maryland, Nebraska,
Iowa, Indiana, Colorado and Wyoming,
Kansas, Delaware, Minnesota, Missouri,

Arkansas, N New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee,
Louisiana and Mississippi, Florida and
Montana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Geor-
gia, Alabama, North Dakota Okla
homa, Indian Territory, Michigan,
+, Naval Veterans, Sons of Veterans
Some Novel Features.
Several umbrella brigades were novel
features CT the procession. The George
Fl. Thomas post, of Chicago, had 500
men in line with unique umbrellas,
which fitted together to form monster
flag of the United States, covering the
entire post. One of the Philadelphia
posts had 400 men with umbrellas, each
of which had portion of the battle of
Gettysburg printed upon it, and when
all were in line the combined effect was
representation of the famous fight.
The Sault Ste. Marie post presented a
bird d's-eye view of Lake Superior, with
the names in red of the cities along the
shore from which posts are present
These posts formed the Lake Superior
battalion. aud they hailed from every
important town along the shores of the
great lake. There was no end of bands.
Z Five of Chicago's best bands. four from
st. Louis, five from Boston, and the
same number from Philadelphia, were
in line, and every city Of any Importance
from Maine to California was represent
ed by at least one band,

NOVEL SCHEME.
How Farmers of Charles Mix County, S.
D., VIII Market Their Wheat.

CHAMBERLAIS, S. D., Aug. 5.-The
farmers of Charles Mix county have
adopted a novel scheme for alketing
their grain this fall. This county lies
south of here on the Missouri river and
is without railroad. If their grain is
marketed in the railroad towns the
farmers are compelled to go from
twenty-five to thirty miles to reach
them. thus entailing great deal of ex-
pen>e and considera BILE time. To remedy
this the farmers are now negotiating
with one of the Missouri river steam
boat companies for the purchase of a
boat, which they intend to use III trans
ferring their grain to the Sioux City
market. The farmers of Charles Mix
usually pay from $1,000 to $4,000 in
hotel bills each fail while moving their
crops and to this is added the value of
time lost, which, in the majority of
cases will be two days for each load
hauled to market, making an immense
aggregate expense, the greater portion
OF which will be saved by shipping by
boat,

GRAND ARMY PRINCIPLES.
Brief Outline of the Aims of a Great
Organization.

A Brief Outline of the Aims of a Great
Organization.
The Grand Army is a secret order,
but Its principles are pretty we'll known.
Its objects are: "The preservation of
those kind and fraternal feelings which
have bound together with strong cords
of love and affection the comrades in
arms of many battles, sieges and
marches; to make these ties available
in works and results Of kindness, Of
favor and mutual aid to those in need Of
assistance; to make provision where it
is not already done for the support, care
and education of soldiers orphans, and
for the maintenance of the widows of
deceased soldiers; for the protection
and assistance of disabled soldiers,
whether disabled by wounds, sickness,
old age or misfortune, and for the es-
tablishment and defense of the late SOL
diery of the United States, morally,
socially and politically, with view to
inculcate a proper appreciation Of their
Fervices to their country. and recogni-
lion of such services and claims by the
American people"
Politics Relegated to the Rear.
When the feeling that the order was
AAeeAL1J 4AlC11Ucu w duVdl1Cc Gl0
prospects of the members was the
strongest, the national encampment de-
clared that while it was the purpose of
the Grand Army to secure the rights of
the defenders of their country by all
moral, social and political means with
in our control, yet "this association
does not design to make nominations
for office, or to use its influence as
secret organization for partisan pur-
poses. This was in 1868. The next
year the following was added to the
rules and regulations: mo officer or
comrade of the Grand Army of the Re-
public shall in any manner use this or
ganization for partisan purposes, and
no discussion of partisan questions
shall be permitted at any Of its meet
lngs, nor shall any nomination for
political Office be made.
Has Done Great Work.
The Grand Army has on it's rolls over
half the number of living veterans, and
it is stronger than ever before. It has
used its influence to secure legislation
for the education and care of orphans of
dead comrades, for increased pensions,
and for homes for destitute and disabled
veterans to help them in their advanc-
ing years. 1t has removed from the ma
ton the disgrace Of permitting men to
die and be buried as paupers in the land
they had preserved by their bravery
and self-sacrifice. Monuments have
been placed upon the battle fields of the
late war and the departed comrades
have been honored. Memorial day has
been established as national holiday
On which to scatter flowers on the
graves of the nations heroes. The

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Aug. 4.-The
Sioux commission has left Lower Brule
agency for Fort Keogh. The only thing
accomplished was to secure the views
OF the Indians themselves regarding the
point to which they wish their agency
moved. The maj jority of them, it was
shown, were in favor of going below
White river to the Rosebud reservation,
but as the Rosebud Indians positively
refuse to sell any part of their reserva-
ton at this time, it is certain that the
Brules will have to remain where they

A new candidate has sprung up in the
person of Smedburg, of California, who

Wisconsin men are not downcast and
are doing great battle for Weissert and
with apparently good chances of success.
Their campaigning is OF the effective

One of the perplexing questions to come
up at this meeting is the admission of
colored posts. The Southern dele
gates being strongly opposed while
the negroes are as strong in their de-
mand for quality and have the sympathy
Of the North to large extent.
A Perfect Success.
With its streets full of marching men,
with every house quartering veteran,
with the strains of music floating on
every breath of the wind, and with the
sound Of the drum and shrill note of the
fife in the air, Detroit is experiencing a
time the like Of which it has never seen
before, and will never see again.
Thanks to the perfect arrangements,
there is room for all, with plenty to eat
and nothing lacking to make the silver
encampment worthy of the name of per-
feet success.
