AN OVATION TO HAYES.
The spectacle Of an ex-president
of the United States marching in
the ranks is so unusual that the
tremendous ovation rendered OK.
| President Hayes Tuesday was
hardly a surprise. The cheers
that swept along the line Of march
like a huge but slowly rising tidal
wave was ever an indication of the
presence of the distinguished ex-
president. Mr.. Hayes was recog.
nized by all as he marched with
his post from Fremont, O., down
Griswold street. and near the inter-
section of Congress street he kissed
several little girls who ran out to
meet him. The old gentleman
carried a palm leaf fan and seemed
to enjoy the occasion quite as
much as his comrades of the post.
Secretary Proctor rode in a car
ricge just behind the Commander
in.chief. He was all smiles and
appeared to be enjoying himself
immensely.
WASHINGTON THE NEXT PLACE.
The next encampment of the G.
A. R. will be held at the national
capital, at Washington, D. G.
This was decided Wednesday on
the first ballot, and although the
partisans of Lincoln, Nebraska, feel
disappointed, there is general re-
solve by the vets from all quarters
to make the encampment at Wash
ington one worthy of the capital Of
the Union.

Senator Quay was seen before he
left for his home at Beaver, and,
while refusing to be interviewed,
acknowledged there was not much
liberality about Pittsburg people.
Another meeting is to be- held next
week, when a more generous re-
spouse is looked for, as in the
the meantime a number of Mckin.
lev hustlers will be going round
to stir matters up.

The managers of a bank in New
Zealand have hit upon a scheme for
an extension of business that is said
to be meeting with great success.
1t has a special car which makes
regular visits to the country dis
tricte, and at every station where
it stops it receives deposits, cashes
checks, negotiates loans and dis
counts and does all the regular
work ola bank. This plan is a
great convenience to the settlers,
who are scattered over a wide area,
and were it not for the new arrange
ment they would be obliged to
leave their farms and 90 to town
whenever they had business to
transact.
The car is fitted up something
like the "pay car" of an American
railway, and it is said that the en-
terprising bank manager who
caused the experiment to be made
took his idea from our pay car and
improved on the original. In this
connection it is proper to say that
in New Zealand there are few farms
or estates without heavy mortgages
and the public debt of the country
averages $500 for every white man,
woman and child Of the population.
The annual taxation is about ST.
par head, but nobody seems in
clined to run away from the coun-
try on that account.

RECIPROCITY.

PlrTsBURo, Pa, Aug 10.-Sena-
tor Quay has been in the city for
two days and it has just come to
light that his business was to. be
present at meeting of leading pol
iticians and manufacturers called
for the purpose Of raising funds to
assist Major Mckinley in his
campaign in Ohio. The major
made the preliminary arrangements
while he was here on Monday last.
The meeting was held in secret
in Allegheny at the home of a
prominent manufacturer who at
one time figured on the republican
national committee. Senator Quay
made request for n fund of $4O,-
600, but did not meet with a very
liberal response, as the total
amount pledged thus far will not
reach $1,000. Quay is making a
desperate effort through personal
solicitation to secure the money, as
it will serve him as another means
of triumphing over his old enemy,
Chris" Magee, the king of the
Pittsburg and western Pennsyl-
vania republican party, Magee
was first asked for aid by Mckinley
and tried to raise the money, but
was forced to admit he was unable
to do so.
A leading iron manufacturer
who was at the meeting was re.
ported as saying: "The manufac.
turerers of this city are not any
to favorably impressed with the Nc
kinley law and are not disposed to
aid the major to any great extent.
1t is doubtful if Quay or any one
else can raise the amount wanted
from them. Quay also is in line
for Blaine and wants to see Nc
kinley win, as in that case Harri-
son would be forced to take a back
seat next year.
"No one more appreciates the
necessity Of carrying Ohio in Nov
ember than does the sage down at
Beaver. He intends to play be- ,
hind the the scenes in the next
national fight, and were his party
to lose Ohio he sees just what diff
culties he would have to work
under. 1t would place what is now
sure republican state
in the democratic column. with
good prospects Of carrying it in
1892 and give very black eye to
the tariff. Quay does not watch
the politics of Pennsylvania only,
but OF the country as WELL"

THE Difference.

De Witt Talmage.
It's strange people can't see that
the only difference is that when the
democrats are in power the demo-
Gratis get the Offices, and when
republicans are in power republic
cans get the Offices. That's all
there's to it.

q. A. r.

day was n proud day in the history
of the Grand Army of the Republic
1t witnessed the grandest parade
in the history of the organization
and has made the twenty.fifth OF
silver encampment an occasion Of
magnificcncc and grandeur sur
passing the fondest dreams cher
ished by it's humble founder, DR..
Stephenson, Of Illinois, twenty-five
years ago. For six hours, under a
bright sun, 1000 veterans tramped
sturdily over the line of march,
aud such was the inspiration Of the
moment that even the feeblest of
the manned and crippled comrades
found themselves adequate to the
ordeal of the five miles march.
On Illinois, the home of Lincoln,
the home of Grant and of Logan,
was conferred the honor of the
right Of march. But it was not
because Of these illustrious names
that the Prairie state was so hon.
cre.l. but because of one whose SER
vice to the veterans of the state
and nation dates since the war
DR.. B. F. Stephenson, the founder
Of the G. A. r. DR.. Stephenson
was born in Wayne county, Illinois,
in 1922, and died in Menard county,
August 80, 1871, aged but Al
years.
His remains lie in the soldiers
lot Of Rose Hill cemetery, Peters
burg, III. He organized the Grand
Army Of the Republic in 1866, and
a few months later J. N. Coltrin
and Joseph Prior were Joined with
ten others in forming the first post,
which was instituted at Decatur,
April G, 1865, under q charter
granted by DR.. Stephenson.
SURVIVORS OF POST NO. /.
The survivors of Post No. were

Illinois delegation, and their appear.

cheers.
The enthusiasm which greeted
the second or Wisconsin division
Of 700 strong was unboundei. In
the front rank and borne high in
the air on the top of flagstaff was
perched "Old Abe," the stuffed
eagle which became part of Wis.
consin's history quarter of II CEN
fury ago. Cheer after cheer arose
from the multitude, but the tribute
was to the war bird and not to the |
brave boys Of the Badger state.
Many a civilian could not divine
the cause Of all this enthusiasm,
but to probably every G. A. R.
man in line today the strange his

"oLD ARES" CAREER.
In 1861, when the Eighth Wis
consin Regiment entered the war,
tame eagle, captured in the Wis
consin woods, accompanied the
regiment south. Taught to perch
upon a staff it was allotted to a
color-bearer and in few months
the bird became the emblem of the
regiment. With strange devotion
that so partook of the mysterious
as to engender superstition in many
minds, the eagle chung to his regi.
ment with unwavering loyalty.
Amid the roar Of cannon and the
shrek Of battle the eagle of the
Eighth Wisconsin maintained his
perch, only leaving it to soar briefly
above the heads of the brave BOYS

the enemy and then returning. No ,

ooRNERED THE KANSAS GRO

J. R. French, of Topeka, Kan,
secretary of the state alliance,
states that the alliance had recently
completed arrangements by which
it will handle three-quarters of the
wheat crop Of 50,00O,0OO bushels.
Arrangements have been made to
store at least half the crop in ele-
vators in Kansas City, Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Baltimore and
other large cities for an indefinite
period, or until the owners desire
to sell. Arrangements have also
been made in the east to secure an
advance on wheat stored at Is per
cent. of the present value of wheat.
This new move practically corners
the Kansas crop.

AN EjoHT.HOUR LAW.

The farmers legislature of Ne
braska passed a cast-iron eight
hour law for that state last winter.
It went into effect August /. The
Kearney (Neb.) Hub says of its
operation.
The eight-hour law is not
patent self.adjustable. The fact is
it is being adjusted in some in some
places with considerable effort.
Very little difficulty is reported in
the country, or even in Lincoln, but
the labor elemen in Omaha is not
SO easily controlled.
Railroad companies and most
large corporations have made con.
tracts with employers to work by
the hour instead of week. At
Omaha, however, the smelters are
closed down, with about 600 men
are out of employment. Omaha
job printers are nearly all out, on a
demand of SIG per week for eight
hours.
The Dempster mill company of
Beatrice, while observing the law,
states that it will not be able to do
business on the basis OF eight
hours pay.
Retail dealers throughout the
states are perplexed as to how to
work their employees, but no light
has yet been shed on the problem.

TO THE FARMERS OF VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to NY know
ledge that you occasionally make com
plants because of the small sums re-
ceived for your dairy skins. The fault
is your own, for if you would take them
off and properly care for them YOU would
rarely find Il skin that would bring you
less than 80 cents, and "A great many of
them would bring you 60. 20 and even
so cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are poor
property and bring Il poor price. 1t will
cost you only Il penny for a postal card
on which to send me your address, to
secure full printed directions as to the
proper method of taking of and caring
for your calf skins. | will very gladly
mail these to you free, postpaid, if you
will send me your name and so request.
In most of the towns of Vermont |
have buyers, but in localities where /
have none | would suggest that "A half
dozen farmers club together and ship
their skins in quantities of % or more, in
which case | will pay all freights after
delivery at II. II. depot. | annot allow
you wholesale prices in towns where |
have a buyer, but where | have none |
will gladly arrange with any reliable
farmer who is willing to attend to the
matter of collecting skins taken off in
his vicinity, and in such case will of
course allow the buyers commission.
