OF ,thc force bill he says "The inev-
table effect of the enactment of the force
bill or ANYTHING like it would be re-
vival Of fear of negro domination in the
South, and, with it, violent and disas-
trous disturbance of relations between
the two races, which, in course of time,
had shaped themselves in a friendly
manner highly advantageous to the gen
eral prosperity. In view of all this, |
must confess that whatever specious
pretenses may be put forward as to the
objects Of the measure, look upon the
force bill as one of the most reckless,
most revolving partisan contrivances
ever devised. | know Republicans are
artfullv disclaiming that the force bill is
an issue in this campaign. Harrison
himself tries to evade it in his letter OF
acceptance, but adroitly spoke in recon-
mendation of a commission of inquiry.
But no well informed and prudent man
will be deceived. The Republican plat.
form substantially endorses the meas
ure."
Schurz closed with the advice to his
tellow-citizens to support Cleveland and
his candidacy.

the Camping GrOund-Reyiewed
by vice President Morton.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-When the
sleeping hosts awoke this morning and
the G. A. X. comrades had rubbed their
eyes and performed their ablutions all
was light and life and gladress. Every
where the blue coats were making ready
for today's program. The kitchens
smoked, walters hurried here and there
and long tables in dining halls were filled
with men eating breakfast. This dis.
patched they strolcd about the grounds
OF went off in little squads to view the
galley decorated city.
The streets were crowded at an early
hour and most OF the people of the Dis
trict appeared to have abandoned the
idea of business in favor of a holiday.
The feature of the day, full of events as
it was, was the dedication of Grand Army
Place, as it is called, which is vast
ellipse known as the White lot, just south
of the grounds Of the executive mansion,
1t is one magnificent lawn comprising
many acres OF ground. On this vast
field has been laid out reproduction Of

by the arrangement of the tents and
stands. In the centre of the field, repre-
senting Richmond, capitol OF the Con-
tederacy. is a commodious grand stand.
Surrounding it are myriads OF tents set
apart for and representative of the posi-
ton of the various army corps that
wound up the war. To the Northeast
of Richmond lies the army of the Poto-
mac. To the Northwest lies the army OF
the Cumberland, the cavalry of West, the
army of West Virginia. the army Of Ohio,
and the army of the James. The pris-
oners of war. the medal Of honor men

tents will be held reunions of the various

A novelty of the ground is a place set
apart for reunion OF the naval and
marine veterans, on which has been
erected a reproduction of the famous fri

ate Cruiser Alabama after She bad made
her unparalleled record as a DESTROYER

The dedication of Grand Army Place
was preceded by parade of considcra-

Since that time the opening has been filed
with adobe buildings, and over their tops
and through the cocoanut trees of grove
below, the traveller catches his first sight Of
the contour of the coast. From this point
until the summit is reached, Is miles up
the mountain, the sea is never out of sight
save when the walls of a tunnel or . cut
hide it from view.
The famous '1oop" of the Southern
Pacific Railroad at Tebachepi in California
and that of the Santa Fe Railroad in New
Mexico are not to be compared in the same
breath with the loop on this South Ameri-
can line. At one point stood and looked
below. We had wound around peak three
times and were about to cross on hogs
back to the opposite side of the canon. Be-
low were the two tracks upon which We had
travelled only a few moments before, so
close that could almost jump from one to
the other and yet to reach the spot where 1
stood, had taken 20 minutes of hard pulling
by the plucky little locomotive over those
same tracks.
Tracks Above and Below.
Across the ravine, half mile away were
two tiers of rails one above the other, the
iron standing out under the light of the
strong run overhead. We had approached
the peak upon which 1 stood over these
rails and thousand feet above like mere
thread was another track for which we were
aiming. Along the bottom of the ravine
which debouched near the little village of
Maguieto on the coast, were hundreds of
washerwomen, beating clothes on the
rocks, cleansing them as did the washer
women of ancient times. Little girls,
maidens, young women and old women
were congregated there along the banks Of
the mountain stream and for two miles the
rocks, bushes and huge ferns were covered
with white garments that glared back at US
in the sunlight
Half an hour later the train stopped for
a few minutes on the track, which I had
seen from below. No more magnificent
panorama exists than that which spread be-

Gliding Down to the Capital.


From this point downward we wound
along the side of the mountain on the north
side Of the valley that debouches into the
larger valley, where 300 years ago the
Spaniards selected a site for their capital,
secure from attack from the seaboard, Not
a foot of the road up to within few rods of
the depot at Caracas was built upon
bed that did not first have to be
cut out of the side of the mountain, and in
this short distance of % miles there are no
less than 40 tunnels. Some of them are sew
eral hundred feet in length, but most of
them are SO narrow that there is barely
room for the train to squeeze through.
The safe conduct of this little road re-
quires the employment of an army of men.
Track walkers are met every half mile, and
it is their duty to be constantly on the
move, for there is no knowing when q rock
may roll down the mountain side and find
lodgment upon the track. 1 was informed
that on an average these track walkers. find
from 80 to so rocks day on the tracks, so
that their presence is indeed a necessity.
Nothing could save a train that had been de-
rallied by bowlder. 1t could only leave the
track in one direction and that on the side
where there is q precipitous descent rang
ing any where from 80 to 1000 feet. So
uncertain are the movements of these
powders that no trains are run after dark
and all travel ceases promptly upon the
setting of the sun. If a train be caught on
the mountain side at this hour, especially
in the winter season, it must remain at
some side track until the next daybreak.

fore me. Away to the East and West
stretched the sea coast lined with the CO.
coanut grove fringe, while the green waters
were alive with craft of all kinds
from the palace-like Red d. line
steamship to the punt of the native
plying about in the harbors. The solitary
war steamer of the Venezuelan Govern
ment lay at anchor with steam up and En-
glish, German and French steamers swung
with the tide on either side To the north
the Sugar Loaf Mountain on the island Cur
acoa was barely visible and rising from the
sea to the east were the islands Los Rogues
and Orchillo. 1t was picture to which no
painters brush could do full justice and
one, once seen, can never be forgotten.
A Station on the Summit
Two hours after we started our train
stopped at the Summit, station followed
out of the rock. Only one building besides
the water tank could find lodgment here,
and these were perched upon stills at
the rear. Children free from other
covering save that which nature
gave them, played on the track, their par
ents seemingly Indifferent to the fact that if
one Of them fell over the cliff it would
never stop until it reached the bottom a
thousand or more feet below, where we
could distinguish the huge powders that
had been dislodged by the ravages of time,
weather and earthquakes. The water of a
running stream, clear as crystal, could be
seen through trees covered with crimson
and purple flowers. Mocking birds, parrots
and paroquets futtered about down below
in the foliage, but none of them ventured
to come within 500 feet of our height.
A little further on we crossed a short
trestle work. It was only hundred feet or
so long, but the engineer slowed up and pro-
ceeded as cautiously as if he were venturing
on newly-forned ice. I did not wonder
much at his caution when looked out
through the car window, for we were upon
the highest piece of trestle work in the
world The timbers extended downward
$50 feet, but there were SO many of them
that they seemed to form network Of
straight lines and angles. An effort had
been made to bridge this chasm, but it had
been found impossible to secure such struc-
ture, and the trestle work was constructed
only after many months of hard labor and
numerous mishaps in the way of land and
rock slides.
