European Labor Appeals for American
Sympathy.
A Democratic Move.

It is noticeable that the Democratic
organs are felicitating themselves upon
a prospect for fusion with the Peoples
party, OF, as the New York World says,
the Independent party of South Dakota.
The significant point Of tho so called
fusion Is that the Democrats of South
Dakota will indorse the independent
electors.
In such an arrangement the Demo-
Gratis, as The World says, have nothing
to lose and everything to gain, But will
not the fact that the Democrats propose
to support the independent OF Peoples
party electors as a Democratic measure
open the eyes Of the former Republican
members of that party to the real mean
ing Of victory for that ticket? It is
true that to carry any formerly Repub-
lican state for the Peoples party is as
much gain for the Cleveland ticket as
if Democratic electors We're chosen.
The utmost that can be effected by such
independent successes is to throw the
election into the present house, where
the election Of Cleveland is moral GER
talnty.
When the Democratic organs are
warmly indorsing the proposition to
make free gift to the Peoples party of
the Democratic vote where there is a
chance of success for that ticket; as in
the northwest, the Peoples party should
recognize that vote for their electors
is, for all practical purposes, a vote for
Cleveland. Least of all, Republicans
should not be caught in the trap.

DEMOCRATIC DISSATISFACTION.
A Prominent Democrat Tells Why Mr.
Cleveland Cannot Be Elected,

"A IromlhenC democrat Tells Why h1r.
Cleveland Cannot Be Elected.
PROVIDENCE, Oct. 3.-General John
III. Brennan, an astute Democratic poll
tician, in discussing the political affairs
of the state and nation, said:
The Democrats cannot win in Rhode
Island, for they have nothing whatever
to win on. The national party very
foolishly went to the country with de-
feated Candidate, and they cannot re-
cover tie presidency. Cleveland was
defeated with til federal government
behind him ana more than 1000 Office
holders, all Of whom ought to have been
with Cleveland, but they were in the
majority against him, and when the
election came around again in 1888 they
largely voted for Harrison. There is
but one logical conclusion to this part
of the political outlook, and that is,
What can Cleveland do without the
federal patronage in 1892 when he could
not win with it in 1883?
Cleveland, who became so jocular and
grotesque in his thousands of pension
vetoes to the poor Union soldiers claims
will never be forgiven. He drove many
nails in his political coffin when he made
those vetoes.
There is another point against Mr..
Cleveland. No one in all this country
ever heard before of candidate going
to the people as nominee for great
Office against the expressed wishes and
desires of the state delegation from
whence he came. In the November
elections in Rhode Island the Democrats
will be sure to see to it that the Cleve-
land following chooses two Mugwump
candidates as the nominees for congress,
and they can go down with the i'll
starred coterie of managers who ex-
pended so much money to secure the
Cleveland delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. These same Mugwumps in
Rhode Island caused the defeat of the
Democratic party in this state in the
last April election.

Mr.. Black was taking the train for

clubs in Scranton. Powderly grasped
the Democratic statesman warmly by

"Can you tell me where Cleveland

where stood I would be able to tell

THE G. A. r. Entertainment.
Why No Government Funds Were Used
for That Event.

for That Event.
There has been good deal of discus
sion as to what action congress took In
the matter of appropriating money to
aid in the entertainment of the Grand
Army at Washington, and whether the
question of politics had anything to do
with it. The facts are found on investi-
cation to be as follows:
The house appropriation committee
made no appropriation for or recogni-
ton OF the event in framing the District
of Columbia appropriation bill. Nor
did the house itself do So After the bill
had been passed in the house President
Harrison, seeing that no action had been
taken on that subject, sent a message to
congress calling attention to the subject
and suggesting the desirability and pro-
priety of reasonable aid for a proper en-
tertainment of the men who saved the
nation.
The senate appropriations committee,
acting upon the presidents suggestion,
reported an amendment giving 800, 900
for this purpose. Senator Cockrell inn
mediately moved that the amount be
paid exclusively from the revenues Of
the District of Columbia. This was
voted down, the motion, however, re-
ceiving II votes, of which 16 were cast
by Democrats and Farmers Alliance
members, nearly all of them from the
south. When the bill went into confer
ence, however, the house conferees in
sisted upon placing the Cockrel amend
ment upon the bill and on also cutting
down the appropriation to $4,000. This
was combated by the senate conferees.
and the bill was hung up in conference
for weeks.
The house conferees, with the weight
of the three-quarters Democratic house
behind them, were able to carry through
their proposition, and the senate confer
ees were obliged to yield and permit the
entire burden to be placed on the district.
The Republicans in both houses spoke
and voted almost solidly against the pro-
position to place the entire burden on the
district, saying frankly that the people
of the nation would not only willingly
bear share of the expenses, but esteem
it favor to be permitted to do so. The
only result of their efforts, however,
was to get the total appropriation finally
fixed at 100000 instead of $4,000, as
urged by the house conferees.

Harrison as a Soldier.

The recent gathering of old soldiers at
Washington has brought out some new
incidents Of the war service of President
Harrison. The Washington Star has the
following incident showing his personal
bravery and popularity with his men,
1t says; "Mr. Daniel Watts, of Oregan
City, who was in the same brigade with
General Harrison, says:
"'At Peach Tree Greek we had been
maneuvering about In the valley during
the forenoon without knowing the OBJ,
ject of our movements. At noon we
stacked our arms, put out a skirmish
line, and were busy at our dinner when
we heard firing on the skirmish line and
shouts for us to come on, Looking ND
we saw the skirmishers waving their
caps for us to hasten. Springing to ou-
arms we rushed to their assistance, get
ting ready as we ran. did not get my
belt buckled until we were in the fight.
The skirmish line joined our ranks,
though not obliged to do so, and up the
side of the hill we went. AS we swung
into an advanced position, through an
opening in the trees we could see the
rebs lying thick behind fence rail.
"'Our regiment charged on their line
and cleaned them out, but we lost $50
men in half an hour, SO you may know
we had hot work. In this fight Harri-
son, still colonel, took the lead. AS he
swung himself into line not six feet
away from me he said; "Come on, boys;
we've never been licked yet, and we
won't begin now. We haven't mucL. am
munition, but if necessary we can give
them the cold steel, and before we get
licked we will club them down; so come
on" And we went, glad to fight by the
side of little Ben, who shirked moth
ing and took just the same chance of
getting bullet through his heart as we
did. Not soldier but liked Ben Har-
rison.'"
