Notes of His Trip TO the Scene of Cele-
bration- Reception at Newburg.
NEwBURG, y. Y, Aug 19-The special
train bearing President Harrison and
party pulled into the West Shore station
here at 500 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
having made but two stops after leaving
Wehawken, \. J.-once at Fort Mont
gonery for water, and again at Cornwall
for minute. For an hour or more pre-
vious to the trains arriving rain had
fallen. but just previous TO the trains ar
rival the clouds broke away. An immense
crowd had gathered at the station in spite
of the weather, and when the train moved
in the police had plenty to do keeping
back the throng.
Brief Address from the Executive.
When the train came TO a stop John \.
Sleicher introduced the president from
the rear end Of the car, and Mr.. Harriso on
said:

OF sacrifice and courage of those who laid
the foundation of this government, which
has grown 50 much beyond the concep-
tions of even the wisest Of our fathers,
] an sure that under these Influences you
must all find inspiration for good citi-
Zenship, and it is pleasant to know that
which you rejoice in here has left its i'm

the country that has obtained so much for

Go to your drug store, pay

would consult the letter of the constitution
to find its right of self-preservation en-
forced by coercion, but the Northern farm
ers decided TO shoot first those who tried
to burn the roof of the nation over their
heads without stopping to hear constitu-
tional arguments on the subject of the
right to commit arson.
This honest simplicity of patriotism;
this unerring instinct of national self-pre-
servation that without any formal analysis
of the logic of secession with intuitive
common sense pronounced against it was
the prevailing temper of the great mass of
the plain people who at the sound of the
shot against Sumter leaped to their feet
with a war cry on their lips. And the g.
A. r. are the survivors of the great war,
which is the romance of our latest history,
since Ii is the one thing whose memory is
still treated reverently by the most irrev-
erent people on earth.
1t is asked by our critics whether if those
dread days should come again when our
sons were suddenly summoned to battle,
whether we could count on the warlike
manliness of the nation to dare and do
and endure as nobly as before. Have we held
our own in martial manhood? Under equal
stress we answer the Union Of 1891 would
not degenerate from the Union of 1861; we
should exhibit again the unity that all
brave and patriotic people exhibit under
the press of grinding necessity; the unity
of the colonies against the king; the unity
offreedom against slavery. Put Us again un-
der equal stress and from the ashes of those
who restored the flag, our children would
be sure to light the torch of liberty and
patriotism. However little interest may
be felt in these G. A. r. reunions by those
who were too young to comprehend the
cause and the stake of the struggle, the
veterans themselves, who are pledged to
charity and fraternity with all comrades
faithful to the flag, without distinction of
party faith or action, never grow tired of
illustrating at least once year these
famous lines from famous speech:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
VIII stand tiptoe when this day is named,
He that shall live this day and see OLD age
VIII yearly on the vigil feast his nelg hbors,
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
linen Will ne remember Win advantages
What ieats he did that day, then shall sour
names
Familiar in his mouth es household words
BE in their flowing cups freshly renesn Dered,
This story shall the good man teach his son,
From this day to the ending of the world
We in it shall be remembered
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accused. they were not
here.
And hold their manhoods cheap while any
speaks
That fought with us upon this day.

lead to wide increase in the wheat areas
in the southern hemisphere now going
under the plow, and unless the United
States sells its wheat the first half of the
crop year, American wheat will go low the
last half of the year, so that the Farmers
Alliance corner, if it succeeds, will put
money into the pockets of every wheat
grower in the world, except those in the
United States. Our crop is large, and
must be sold before the crop OF the next
year is produced, and its price will be de-
cided by the law of supply and demand.
The man who waits for 81. so for his wheat
will never get it; if the American farmer
can market his surplus at one dollar this
year be will have reason to feel contented,
and he is not likely to get much more, for
a successful corner would only drive
Europe to halt as buyer. and when the
corner bursts there might be some farmers
under the wreck. The Farmers Alliance at
tempt TO get up a wheat corner
is made criminal conspiracy in
Minnesota by constitutional amend
ment introduced by Ignatius Donnelly,
now president of the state alliance, in
1887, and passed by the legislature and
ratified by the people in 1888 mainly
through granger efforts. This amendment
provides that any attempt to monopolize
the markets for food products in the state,
"or to interfere with or restrict the free
dom of such markets is hereby declared to
be criminal conspiracy" punishable as
the legislature may provide.

TRAITORS TO TACOMA"
Impossible to Injure Seattle by Build.
ing Up Her Suburbs.
Tacoma Naws


We again call the attention of the people of
this city TO the fact that Tacoma is being made
the headquarters of the Port Gardner boom.
Men interested in attracting enterprises To that
clearing can be seen any day at the hotel advis-
ing visiting strangers that Port Gardner real
estate is better buy than that in Tacoma; that
Everett (the name of the prospective city, is to
be the metropolis of the Sound; that Rockefeller,
Gould, Jim Hill and every other millionaire
they can think of is behind the place to boom
1t; that Tacoma will be but station on the
Union Pacific line, while Everett will be its
terminus; that factories and works by the score
are to be erected as soon the machinery can
be procured; and many more OF such lies.
This thing must be stopped. Loyalty to our
own city demands that all efforts be concen-
trated on its Advancement. We can no moro
AFFORD to boom Everett than we can TO boom
Seattle or Portland. This talk of hurting Seattle
by helping Everett is nonsense The man who
devotes himself to his own affairs and does not
spend his time in trying to break up his neigh
Dor in business is the man who wins in the end.
No boy ever got better standing in school be-
cause he devoted his time to throwing spit-oalls
at the other boys Moreover, Seattle is certain
to be the wholesale center for Everett for ten
years at least, and instead of hurting Seattle by
building up Everett we will help her.
If this is to be a town of real estate gamblers,
then let all of them make their homes here and
take advantage of our location and the social
position given them to boom other places. But
If this is to be a manufacturing and commercial
city, let the business men OF this town give
these traitors to understand that they must stop
short or get out

CORNERS IN WHEAT.

Corners in wheat at Chicago have gen.
orally resulted in affording the wheat
growers of the Pacific slope an opportun-
ity 10 market their grain in Great Britain
at high figures, while the reaction at
Chicago has carried prices back to lower
level than that from which they started.
The projected wheat corner of the Farm
ers' Alliance is certain to check European
purchases; the deficit in Europe is not SO
large but that the American surplus can
meet it with a slight increase on prices of
the past year. The farmer who sells his
crop promptly is likely to come
out better than he who holds his crop for
rise, for the European deficiency will

The Western Central Labor Union yes
terday enunciated grand doctrine in its
manifesto. "As trades unionists," it
says, engaged in our respective trades
and not in wild political schemes, we re-
cognize the fact that the chief ingredient
in the remedy to cure the evil to which
men are subject is education" This is the
key to independence. If wage-earners
were sufficiently informed as to the eco
nomic laws, and, knowing their rights,
stood firmly upon them, but no less
strictly refraining from infringement upon
the rights of others, victory would be
theirs-won by an invincible power.

ton was necessary for the future. for
under the disability pension act every
worthy applicant for relief ought to be
able to get on the pension roll.
Now let Us turn from this magnificent
provision for the Union veterans to the
record of small assistance afforded by the
Southern states to their Confederate vet
Grams. The whole amount paid to about
1900 pensioners by the various states of
the South will not exceed $500, 900 annu-
ally. Georgia gives her disabled veterans
from 50 to SIS month, but has no sol
diers' home. Virginia has Confeder-
ate Home near Richmond, for the support
of which the state spends $4,000 year
and has pension roll of 900. Alabama
has no home but pays s125 900 in pensions.
Arkansas has home. supported by state
aid, but built by private subscription.
Mississippi has no home, but has provided
literally for INDECENT and disabled Conted-
crates. Missuori pays no pensions. Mary
land has home for Confederates, aided by
the state to the extent of $4,000 annually;
SO has Louisiana, Texas and North Caro-
lima. South Carolina pays $4,000 In PEN
sions, but has no home. Tennessee has
Confederate home. The state gave 475
acres of land and $40, 900 for Improvements
in 1889 and the legislature at its last session
appropriated $4,000 for building and
5000 year for its support, and in addi-
ton $50, 900, or so much thereof as may be
necessary for expenditures annually in
pensions, which range from $3.50 to SIS
per month. It is thought that $4,000 per
year will cover the pension list.
OF all the Southern states, Kentucky
alone has made no provision for her ex-

IF the decision of the supreme court in
favor of the ownership of the Hill tract
be conclusive, it will be of real advantage
to Seattle. Much mischief, direct and in
direct, has been caused by the enforced
idleness of such an extensive piece of
building property, almost in the heart of
the city. Many will sympathize with the
defeated side, but the people at large are
bound to accept the decree of the highest
court of the state as just, and are con-
cerned only with the concrete benefits to
be derived by the settlement of dispute.

THE HAUNTED PALACE.

In the greenest of our valleys,
BY good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace
Radiant palace--reared its head,
In the monarch Thoughts dominion
1t stood therei
Never seraph spread a pinion,
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow
(This-all this--was in the olden
Time long ago);
And every gentle air that dallied
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparis plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.
Wanderers in that happy valley
Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits moving musically
To a lute's weli-tuned law;
Round about throne, where sitting
(PorphyrogeneD
In state his glory well benefiting,
The ruler Of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing,
flowing
And sparkling evermore,
A troop OF echoes whose sweet duty
Was but to sing,
In voices of surprising beauty,
The wit and wisdom OF their king.
But evil things in robe of sorrow,
Assailed the monarch's high estate;
(Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him, desolsteD
And, round about his home. the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but dim remembered story
OF the old time entombed.
And travellers now within that valley
Through the red litten windows SEQ
Fast forms that move Enthusiastically
To discordant melody;
While, like rapid, CHASTITY river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush out forever
And la ugh-but smile no more.
