WHAT THEY SAID.
Generals Slocum and Sickles on the Pres

WASHINGTON, September 3d. Much
comment has been provoked !by some of
the expressions reported to have been
used by several prominent ex-soldiers at
the recent national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic in this city,
which expressions are by some persons
construed to have political bearing.
No such construction is admissible or
true as to any utterance in the official
meetings of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, or by any officer OF that body in
his official capacity, as every member OF
the organization knows. 1t is not a po-
litical organization in any party sense;
among its members are Republicans
Democrats, third party men, prohibi-
tionists. The central ideas of this organ
ization are loyalty, fraternity, charity;
it's its teachings are those Of patriotism, not
of partisanship. Among the most prom

gle in New York.
New YORK, September 30.-Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland arrived in the city this
morning from Buzzard S Bay on the Fall
River line sleamer Pilgrim. About 200
people were on the pier to receive him.
Mr.. Cleveland was accompanied by Rich
ard Watson Glider, editor of the Centu-
~, and Daniel J. Griffin of Watertown.
Sergeant-at-Arms Jimmy Oliver was
at hand to receive Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends. and gave them hearty greeting.
The ex-President was hurried to a car
riage by Mr. Oliver, in which, with Mr..
Glider and Mr.. Griffin he was driven to
the Victoria Hotel, where he will put up
during his stay in the city.
During the afternoon Mr.. Cleveland
had conference with the members of
the national campaign committee. The
New York state committeeman were the
first received. They were able to make
complete report to Mr.. Cleveland of
the progress of the work accomplished
throughout the country so far. This
consultation lasted two hours. Accom-
panving the committee was Senator EuS-
tbs of Louisiana. Matters pertaining to
the state campaign were discussed, chief
among which was the proposed third
ticket to be placed in the field by the
New York city and county Democrats.
Pressure was brought to bear on Mr..
Cleveland to use his influence in dis
countenancing the movement. The Iowa
delegation afterwards consulted Mr..
Cleveland. Their visit was followed by
that of General Charles w. Blair, nation
al committeeman from Kansas, and Col
onel w. c. Jones, chairman of the Kan
sas state committee, who also conferred
for some time with Mr.. Cleveland. Mr..
Cleveland was busy receiving callers at
midnight.
e Evidently it is the intention of Mr..
Whitney and Mr.. Gsifin to bring Messrs.
Hill and Cleveland together during their
present stay in the city. The conduct
of the anti-snappers is proving a source
of annoyance both to Cleveland's S friends
and the Tammany leaders. Mr. Gray
called on Cleveland tonight, but he
claims he did not talk about politics
Mr.. Cleveland refused afterwards to say
anything about local politics to the re
| porters.

LONDON, September 30.-Seventy per
cent Of the master cotton spinners of
England today decided to enforce the
reduction of 5 per cent in the wages Of
their employees. The men stubbornly
refuse to accept the proposed reduction
and intend to strike. 1t is generally ad-
mitted in Manchester that stoppage of
work will not be a bad thing for trade
as it will enable the spinners to reduce
the present heavy stocks.

WASHINGTON, September 30.-The re-
ports of further troubles and prospective
troubles in the Tennessee mines, where
convict labor continues to be employed d
under the sanction of the Democr attic
Legislature Of that state, calls the atten-
tion of the public to the attitude of the
Democratic party.
Not only is this the case in Tennessee,
but in 10 of the Democratic states of the
Union the convict lease system exists to-
day. Slavery was supposed to have been
wiped out by the late civil war, but in
nearly all of the then slave states a sys-
tenn which is simply traffic in human
blood and muscle, almost as inhuman
and even more brutal than was the slave
system exists. Legalized by Demo-
cratic Legislatures, enforced by
Democratic officials, its re-
peal, though urged by taxpaying
citizens, is refused by Democratic law
makers. A convict lease system exists
in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten
nessee. Even that child of the sunny
South, George W. Cable, has spoken out
against the system. saying: "Tabulated
reports from these prisons are thorough
ly unreliable, but show Enthusiastically
one of the worst penal systems in the
country. Cruel sentences, chains, fog
gings, drownings and killings by access
ion and exposure make in the end
where the convict does not die outright
his heart harder than prison walls
The cruelties and outrages of this sys-
tenn upon the convicts themselves are
only equalled by the injustice to citizens
brought about by the use of this convict
labor at very low prices in competition
with free work. A statement of the
conditions of the convict camps in Geor-
gia shows that the escapes, including
those who are killed in attempting to es
cape, are from 20 to 25 per cent, and thai
there are hundreds and hundreds of es-
capped criminals at large in the state
The mortality in these camps is some.
thing fearful. In one camp it is reported
at 10 per cent per month.

HOUSE LETTER BOXES.
makers Plans

makers Plans.
WASHINGTON, September 30-Much
interest is being shown in the order re-
Gently issued by Postmaster General
Wanamaker, deputizing postmasters in
the free delivery cities, towns and rural
communities to put up house letter
boxes for the collection, as well as for
the delivery of mail on regular free de-
livery, wherever two-thirds of the house.
holders on given route desire this new
double service. This order affects near
ly 5000, 900 residences.
The letter boxes tested in st. Louis
and Washington were selected after two
years of examination among some 900
models, and in St. Louis especially,
where the practical test of the collection
and delivery box was tried under the
most unfavorable conditions possible in
that or any other free delivery place, the
results have been especially gratifying to
Postmaster Harlow and to the depart
ment. The test shows that collections
as well as deliveries are possible without
any loss of time on tina average, and that
where circumstances are favorable, as on
compactly settled routes, time is actual
ly saved, which may be devoted, of
course, to putting in extra deliveries at
the proper time.
The chief reason why the new double
service will be successful is that the
householder has the advantage, as never
before, of dropping mail at his door.
These new mail boxes for the collec-
ton and delivery of mails will cost each
householder SIS The safety of the mail
would be much greater with the use of
the boxes. The chance of securing
booty enough to pay for the risk would
be too small for mail robber, with
practically all the mail dropped at house
doors, and the chance of detection would
be practically sure. Street letter boxes
would, of course, be patronized just the
same, but in degree 100 times smaller,
perhaps, and the same reasons would
prevail why it would not be safe for rob-
bers to break them open. Another Incl
dental advantage is that the revenues OF
the department would be in the aggre-
gate, very much increased, as the test in
st. Louis undoubtedly shows; and there
would be no letters kept in coat pockets
for weeks any longer. A third advan-
tage is that the householder would be
able through the medium of the carrier,
to purchase stamps.
Inc postmaster 0eHoIdI PROPOSES w
supplement his first order to the post
masters in free delivery places with more
detailed directions for placing the boxes,
as soon as the boxes are ready to be
placed, and that will be very soon.
The departure is also of the greatest
significance to country districts. 1t is
well known that the country free deliv-
cry experiment tried in 46 communities
for the past year has been complete
success; and that it is continued fol
another year.

admission.
