HAVE NO GRIEVANCES.

SEATTLE. Sept. IL, 1892
To THE EDITOR: An article was published in
yesterdays PosTINrELLIaENcKR, in which it
was stated that the reason why the employees of
the Front street cable line refused to Join the
Street Railway Mems Society was that they
wished to make 1t q trade union, as they had
some grievances to redress. to which the men
on the other lines would not consent This
statement was either made through ignorance
or was willful misrepresentation by members
OF the association-probably the latter. The
men did not have any grievances at that time.
Several months afterwards q little difference
arose between employers and employees which
was, however. soon amicably settled. Tho men
that were the prime movers In starting this So
ciety were not Front street employees, but the
latter were urged to Join it, and several of them
did pay their limitation fee as charter members,
but dropped out again before even a constitu-
ton was adopted. Several of them already be-
longed to secret societies and did not care to
Join another, and the remainder were not inter.
ested enough to pay any attention to it.

The Bridegroom's Resolve.

They sat on the rain sodden bench in
the Smithsonian grounds, evidently a
newly married couple The weather
was cold, but their love was warm, and
the palpitation of their hearts kept time
with their chattering teeth. Her eyes
were blue as was her nose. One manly
arm encrcled her slender waist, while
the other upheld an umbrella. The rain
drops gently trickling down their spines
did not serve to cool their ardor in the
least, and every shiver seemed to cement
them more closely together.

The Light from Cuban Firefiies.

The secret of the light the Cuban fire.
fly gives is as yet undiscovered. APP
parently it is connected in some way
with the mysterious phenomena of life,
and chemists and physicists have sought
in vain to explain its origin. On each
side of the animals thorax is luminous
membranous spot, and these flash at in
tervals, so that the Cubans put a dozen
of the insects in a cage together, and SO
obtain continuous illumination, bright
enough to read by. This light is accom-
panied by no perceptible heat, and is
seemingly produced with almost no ex-
penditure of energy. How great an i'm
provement it represents upon all known
artificial lights can be imagined when it
is stated that the loss from other lights is
moro than 80 per cent Washington

MENr or MAINE
Dear Sir and Comrade Your letter of
eth inst. was furwsrded to the Citizens
Executive Committee 26lh National En-
csmpment, 6. a. r., aud the following
is received from them in reply:
at is the intention of this committee,
provided the M cesssry aui horlty shsll be
accorded us from Congress, TO use our
municipal funds to furnish free quarters
for all comrades Of the G. A. X. desiring
the same, and take all necessary steps to
see that they are comfortably and pleasant
ly located in them but at this time it is
impossible to state just how extensive
these quarters will be, or to give their ex-
act location. We feel sure, from the
legislation now pending before Congress,
that Comrade Jones can be assured that
the recommendation desired by the
comrades of his department will be freely
and gladly furnished by the committee.
Regarding the query raised by Lin AS
to railroad rates, | would state that at
this writing the rate agreed upon by the
lines in the trunk line territory, and which
has been virtually accepted by all the
lines, is that of one fare for the
round trip. The impression prevails
with the comrades having charge of
transportation affairs in connection with
the encampment, that possibly one .cent
per mile rate may yet be determined upon,
but this is merely expectation or supposi
ton, one fare rate as above referred to
being the determination.
There is but little doubt that the ap-
preparation desired will pass Congress,
and if it does the free quarters will be
furnished.
Yours in +. C, and L.,
