THOSE PECK REPORTS.
Claimed That There Is Evidence That Ne
burned Them.

New YoRK, Sept. 22-The Herald'S
Albany correspondent says in regard
to Labor Commissioner Pecks
case: The real reliance of the
prosecution is on the burnt fragments
OF paper taken from the furnace which
Stenographer Rogers stemporarily turned
into a crematory.
On these fragments, which were of
the exact color, texture and print
OF the forms sent out by Mr..
Peck's bureau to collect information for
his tariff report appear parts of
written answers to his questions.
Some show the words Infants
wear" indicating the industry to which
the query was addressed Others have
the figures 1880 and 1891 showing the
years embraced in the inquiry. By
fur the most damaging testimony is fur
nished by great mass Of the Fragments
that are too much charred to permit Of
photoeraphing.

THE NEW coMaANDER-IN-cHIEF.
Capt. A. G, Weissert was Wisconsin's
candidate for commander.in-chief, and
more old soldiers journeyed to the ma
TONS capital from that state to support
him than have ever attended an en-
campment OF the G. A. R., excepting
that held in Milwaukee in 1888, Capt.
Weissert was born in Canton, o., Au-
gust 7, 1874. emigrated to Wisconsin in
February, 1851, enlisted in the Eighth
(War Eagle) Wisconsin regiment in
April, 1881, as q private; subsequently
promoted to sergeant major, and was
wounded at the battle OF Nashville,
December Is, 1864. As soon as able he
returned to duty on crutches and was
brevetted captain for meritorious SER
vice in the field.
Capt. Weissert was appointed cadet
at West Point in 1865, but was obliged
10 decline the appointment on account
Of wounds received in battle. In 1888
he was elected commander OF the de-
partment of Wisconsin, unanimously
reelected in 1889, and elected senior
vice commander-in-chief the same year.
Mr.. Weissert by profession is a lawyer
and enjoys lucrative practice in Mil
waukee, and is an idol In the estimation
OF the Wisconsin G. A. r. At meet
ing OF the Michigan delegation, Monday
night, majority voted in faver Of Capt,
Weissert, and motion instructing the
delegation to vote as a unit for him was
carried with only one dissenting voice.
This made him formidable candidate
for tho coveted position, and his sue
cess was practically assured last night
when the Pennsylvania delegates decid-
ed to support him.

encampment of the Union Veterans
Union this morning in the Harris The
atre was we'll attended, and was spe-
cially marked by the cordial co.opera-
ton manifest between the U. v. U. and
the Woman's Veteran Relief Union.
General Roberts, commander OF the de-
partment OF Massachusetts, invited the
union to hold its next annual encamp-
ment at Boston and the Invitation was
accepted by an unanimous vote.
The committee appointed to consider
the question OF establishing school
for children Of veterans reported in
favor OF the establishment Of techno-
logical school and tho appointment OF a
committee to select tract Of not less
than 10000 acres OF land containing
coal and timber and adapted to agricul-
ture and grazing on which the proposed
school shall be located.
The committee also reported sugges::
tions with reference to the methods OF
obtaining money for the proposed
school. The Woman's Veteran Relief
Union appeared in a body on the stage.
A resolution was reported to permit
members OF the Woman's Veteran Re
lief Union to wear the U. V. U. button.
The Union Veterans Union does not
like the way in which it is regarded and
treated by the G. a. X, The union
adopted a resolution looking to mutual
recognition and cooperation between
the u. v. u. and G. A. r. A committee
headed by Col. r. S. Bond was appoint
cd to present tho resolutions to the an
nual encampment OF the G. A. R. 1t is
reported that the members of the COM
mittee we're kept waiting for some time
in the ante room, and the welcome they
received was not similar to that which
the U. v. U. would accord similar
committee from the G. A. R.
General Roberts, Of Massachusetts,
said 'ho believed in telling things exactly
as they were. The committee in charge
Of the resolution had been very shabbily
received. They were kept waiting in
the hall without seats and when finally
admitted the reception was chilly one.
They were not received as veterans who
had fought for tho preservation OF the
union but as citizens OF the United
States. 1t was not the kind OF recep-
ton they deserved.

SPEED IN RAILWAY TRAVEL.

That the speed of passenger trains ill this country is destined to rapidly in- crease in the near future seems certain. There is nothing in railroading that ren- ders such large and quick returns to the management as catering to the wants and desires of the travelling public. Nothing so fully exemplifies this as the immense change that has taken place in the past five years in the equipment of through express trains from the seaboard to the west and southwest.
 The luxury and comfort that can to-day be obtained on one of the many limited trains passing over any of the great trunk lines, is in strong contrast to what was furnished five or six years ago, and it would seem that there was not much room for further improvement in that di- rection. What the public are now seek ing, and what will certainly be furnished, is fast time; and that this is appreciated by railroad managers is we'll evidenced by the large sums that are now being spent to perfect the roadways of the more i'm portant lines.
 One word in regard to the alleged dan ger of the fast train. It is most emphat- ically untrue that 1t is more dangerous than other trains. Those familiar with the subject will agree that the reverse is the case. As an eminent English author ity writes, "With picked engineers, train- men and fremen, with the best and new est rolling-stock and the most perfect en- zines the company possesses, with every signalman and fiagman all down the line on the qui viue, it is difficult to see where there comes in any special source of dan ger.n And, in addition to this, 1t must be remembered that fast trains, such as are now being run on many roads in this country, would be simply impossible without the vigorous discipline, the con- stant energy, the keenest exactitude, and the care and attention to the details of the service that is the surest and most ef- fective guard against accidents.-1March Scribner.

tCorrespondence.)

Inotice that in your issue of Feb. 25th you give place to Rev. Dr. Wayland's crit icism of the ssGarrisonian prohibitionist, ? and the so called Abraham Lincoln pro hibitionist,' in which he undertakes to claim practical political wisdom for the latter, and charge the former with trying to achieve the Impossible. T Will you kindly give place to the following effectiye reply to Dr. Wayland, as published by the New England Home Jan. s3d, in an eiito- rial review of pr. Maylapd's address st the recent Bridgeport convention of the Conn. Temperance Union. .w.B.
 "Editor Wayland did not see fit to dis cuss the rapid increase of crime under the Brooks law, in spite Of it's so-called re- strictions and prohibitory features, nor it's effect in concentrating and intrenching the rum power. He dismissed prohibi- tion as impossible and prohibitionists as impracticables. Better work for what we can get, said he. He classed himself as not an impracticable Garrisonian sort of prohibitionist, but a. practical Abraham Lincoln sort of prohibitionist "The abolitionists did not free the slaves, and never could have done it by their impos- sible programme" The Lincoln men ac- complished the desired end. Here again Editor .Wayland failed to state the whole truth. He failed to recall the historical .tact that the non-extension plan. of the Lincoln party proved utterly inadequate to the emergency, and that before he had been in the presidential chair three years the great Lincoln saw the impossibility of saving the union "with slavery" as some had thought, and then, rising above his party and acting against the advice of many of the ''practical" advisers by whom he was surrounded, Lincoln came full upon the ground of the ''impractical' abolitionists and issued the emancipation proclamation, thus taking up the work where the abolitionists had desired to start it twenty years before., This is not theory or speculation or prospect, but historical .fact, and Editor Wayland and all resttictionists make 8 fatal mistake when they ignore it. There is a.vital les son to be learned from the anti-slavery struggle and the, history of the republican party. The struggle against the rum power has many points in parallel, but let us take care that we do not follow the parallel too far.

A GOOD DEED REMEMBERED.


 President Mcleod, of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, about whom the whole country is talking since the con- summation of the gigantic coal deal, is, like many another American who has attained success and fame, self-made man. During the early days of his career he was in very straitened circumstances. It is now related of him, that before his connection with the railroad business he was the proprietor of 8 pottery in Texas, and that after hard struggle for several years he was sold out by the sheriff. Then he went west with unbroken determina- ton to "make his fortune," if possible. About this time Alexander Bryden of Pittston, Pa, mine boss, was travelling in Colorado with 8 view to investigate coal lands there and form company to operate them if practicable. In a small town he met Mcleod, who was fiat on his back ;" with no prospect of bettering his condition. He appealed to Bryden for enough money to pay his fare east again, and his appeal met with generous response. As he took the money, Mo- Leod said: "Bryden, I'll be in a posi- tion some day to return this kindness. and won't forget you" He was trueto his word. When the now great railroad king was placed in charge of the Phila- delphia and Reading interests, one of his earliest acts was to send for Bryden, who had returned to Pfttston, and offer him the superintendency. of the companys Schuylkill anthracite industries, one of the most responsible positions in the cor poration's business, and most coveted be- cause of the fat salary attached to it. Bryden accepted, took the reins for 8 year, but found that the duties were tell ing on his health, and resigned, and re- turned to his old place at Pittston.
