HILL SPEAKS.
The New York Senator Still a
Democrat.
He Discusses the Chicago Platform
and Defends Its Polnts-Protection
Opposed to the ConstItution-The
Force Bill Is Political FoolIshness.

Senator D. B. Hill spoke to as many peo-
pie as could be packed IN the Brooklyn
Academy of Music. He spoke for full
hour before mentioning the name of the
presidential candidates; leading up to that
as a final climax with the trained skill of an
orator. During the speech every paragraph
indicated the speakers loyalty to the party,
and the excitement of restrained enthusiasm
seemed painful to the audience.
When, at last, he concluded his speech
with the names the waiting people had been
eagerly listening for there was wild ap-
plause.
Mr.. Hill said:
From this time forward imperative duties
are imposed upon US. fractional appeals
should COW cease. The spirit of discomfort
ment should be abandoned, and state pride
subOrdinated to the general good; real or
iancleo grievances olsnlsSe9i personal am
bitiOn sacrificed; individual dlsappOintments
forgotten, in this great emerg ency, which
demands from US all an exhibition of wide
spread and lofty party patriotism.
The fundamental difference between the two
parties arose out of the construction of the
constitution. The republicans construed 1t
loosely; the democrats strictly. Under the
general welfare" clause OF the constitution
the two parties naturally enunciated differ
ent theories of government, especially upon
the all-impOrtant subject of taxation. The
republicans believed the government had
constitutional right to impose tariff duties
for the protection OF private industries. The
democrats believed the government had
only constitutional right to impose such
duties to raise sufficient revenue to support
the government economically administered.
Protection, pure and simple, could not be
constitutiOnally defended. The tariff should
be i'm posed for the express purpose of reVe-
nue., not for any private purpose. The dem
5crats believed in revenue with incidental
protection; not in protection with incidental
revenue.
Protection Is a fraud for six reasons: Be
cause it works to the benefit of the few at the
expense of the many; because it is based
upon the worst species of favoritism; because
it creates fictitious prosperity, followed by
depression; because it is deceptive in its
promises, unsatisfactory in its results; be-
cause its principal benefclaries are the priv
LEGGED class.
His concluding words were: 'sWith this
motto inscribed upon the democratic banner,
Public Office is a Public Trust supple
mented by the other sentiments, No Public
Taxation for Private Purposes and No Force
Bill let US close up the ranks, buckle on
our armor and fight with determination to
do all in our power for the triumph of ouI
party and the election of our honored stand
ard bearers, Cleveland and Stevenson"

Adiutant Generals Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 23.-The
report of the adjutant general. Fred Phis-
terre, begins with the statement that when
Commander-in-Chief Palmer assumed the
Office there were practically no funds on
hand to carry on the business of the adlutant
generals Office, except the 81, 900 IN United
States bonds, which it was not deemed wise
to sell, and no income was expected until
after December 31st last. Consequently the
most rigid economy was necessary.
Ghe total expenditures of the office during
the fiscal year aggregated $ll, oOO, and as the
per capita tax of two cents per member pro-
duces an income of but b, 1000, the adjutant
general says that the tax is plainly INSULT
cient, aud that it should be at least three
cents per member, per annun.
During the last calendar year, as shown by
the report, there was gain of 229 IN the
number of posts, making the total number
1858. During the calendar year there was
a gain in membership of Ga, 4ol, but the
losses we're Sc, 100. leaving the number of
members in good standing December 81.
last, 4O9, 781, an apparent loss OF 1.7Oo. This
is because in one department 1t was found
that nearly 1900 had been added without Ru-
thority and the returns previously made were
incorrect. so that there was actually gam
of about 1000 in the total strength. The
adiutant general comments shortly on these
losses. and says practically it may be
said that the mem bership of the Grand Army
OF the Republic is now at its highest point.
It no doubt, will remain about the above
number for a few years to come, when nee

The Great Parade.

There are now something over half mil
lion of names on the roll of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and nearly one-fifth of that
number were in line when the grand parade
passed through the streets of Washington.
1t was the biggest event of the season in
point of numbers and enthusiasm, and in
the latter respect especially 1t surpassed the
several gatherings OF secret and fraternal Dr.
ders that have been held during the summer.
From the start to the finish the veterans
passed between two solid walls of humanity,
and the constant roar of the thousands of
voices that cheered them to the echo as they
marched along must have been a forcible
battles through which they have passed.
Even the broad streets of Washington were
crowded to such extent that the police
had all they could do to keep clear way for
the procession, and many a sorrowing resi-
dent will look with rueful eyes upon the bare
expanse of turf extending from his house to
the curb line.
General Palmer was at the head of the line,
escorted by the Sixth Massachusetts req
ment This honor was accorded to the Bay
state boys in recognition of the fact that
they were the first to make an armed defense
of the national capital when secession was
rampant and grave fears were entertained
for the safety of the president and that of
the seat of government.
The parade was IN double column, so ar
ranged to lessen the time required to make
it. as it would have taken eighs hours TO pass
the review stand if it had been done in single
colum of twelve abreast as has been the
custom.
Kansas swung into line nearly 1000 men
in blue under the lead Of Department Com
mander Albert r. Greene.
Missouri made strong showing, consid-
ering the distance the men had to travel,
having nearly 1000 men in line, headed by
Frank p. Blair post of st. Louis and Ran

grand stand. and led by several conductors
blowing comets and flutes, their young
voices burst forth fresh and strong In sing
ing "Amenca-" The successive organize
tiOns were greeted frequently with patriotic
songs The greetings usually were acknowl-
edged by salutation and dofing of hats By
the veterans.
Secretary Rusk was one of the leading fig
ures OF the staff of the Wisconsin depart
ment. He rode fine horse and rode it well.
The troops rom the badger state carried
nigh their old var totem, the stuffed skin of
'1Old Abe" tha live eagle which went
through the war with them.
Ohio marches were distinctive in every
way, and were probably absolutely unique
as marching body, for in their ranks,
stepping brlskly along like the plalnest citi-
zen, was an Observation-Disclosures 3.
Hayes. MIR. Hayes received an ovation along
the whole line of march. He marched afoot
and his hat was in hand most of the time
waving q response to the kindly greetings
he constantly received A Daughter of the
Regiment walked in the front line of the
Ohioans. This young Buckeye girl was
bright and attractive in her dark blue frock,
trlnme with gold lace. She walked erect
and carried a sword and canteen. There
were nearly 5000 Ohioans in line.
The Kansas veterans marched sOlidly and
well, about 1,5O0 strong, and every man
wearing large sunhower IN his coat lapel.
And so the procession continued clear un-
til the evening. At 6 :05 O'Clock the last vet
eran had passed. the grand parade of the
18th annual encampmeut of the q. A. r. was
over, and was ready to be written an unqual
fled success in the pages of G. A. R. his
tory. In every way it had equalled the ex
pectations of the predicted. More men were
IN line than any other Grand Army parade.
An estimate close on to $1,000 men would
not be far from the mark. The crowd which
witnessed the parade was very large and the
steadiness of its attention showed that a;
long as the parade was it was full of interest
By actual count there was $50 bands. The
weather, though at times cloudy, was free
from rain; pleasant and just warm enough
for comfort. In fact, typical overcast Sep

NEW YORK, September 19.-R. g. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Cholera has landed and business in New
York goes on exactly as if it hadnOt. Selling
ing of stocks has been quite heavy. Money is
in ample supply and the demand from the in
terror is less than usual at tins season, but
large amounts are held out of the loan market
by the people who are looking for exceptional
opportunities to buy cheaply. There has
been much talk about the pestilence as an
excuse for the low price of breadstuffs and
cotton. but the fact that enormous stocks
were brought over from last year afford suf-
ficient reason for the exceedingly low prices
The receipts of wheat at the principal west

The demand for structural iron is encour-

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

No Alarm Felt as Regards the Chol-
era-A Useful Official In Large
Office Buildings.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, September 19,-Of all the
large cities in the country, st. Louis seems
to be the least affected by the talk about
cholera. Numerous sanitary officers have
been appointed who are looking after the
cleanliness of the city, but the ordinary citi-
zen does not concern himself at all about the
reports coming from the East If you ask
one of them why he is not alarmed, his reply
will likely be-
''Why, there could be no epidemic disease
here, with such system of sewerage as we
have"
And he would be right. From all sides st.
Louis slopes down to the river and 80 the Mill
Creek valley. The small sewers run directly
into the river and through the valley is laid
one enormous sewer through which turnl-
ture van could be drawn by two horses
abreast There has never been anything like
an epidemic in the city since these sewers
were built, even when it was most endan-
gered by disease coming from other points
he sanitary officers feel confident that with
the advantage they have in this respect they
could protect the city even if the cholera APP
preached near as Chicago.
The pneumatic tube Will be used in St.
Louis for the transmission of mails through
the city, some time before Philadelphia, the
only other town which has adopted the plan,
gets Its apparatus IN working order. Ar
the conduits through which the tubes will be
run. Here, we already have the cOnduits,
which IS TO be the railway tunnel, running
under the city from the bridge to the Union
depot. The plans for the pneumatic ma
chinery are now completed, and the mails
will be distributed by this means about the
hrst of the year. A new pOstofiCe is to be
established at the end of the tunnel, where
the mails from the tube will be received. The
tube and this Office Will save the work of a
dozen letter-carriers and will handle about
one-sixth of the entire mail of the city.

lately gone up down town has Just made an
improvement in its elevator service which is
There is nothing so annoying to man in a
hurry as to go into a building where he
knows someone whom he wishes to see has
an office, and have to depend on one of the
several elevator boys for information about
the location of the Office and the present
whereabouts of the one sought. Generally
the boy knows the number of the Office.
Sometimes he doesn't. He seldom knows
whether or not the man Is in his office, and
the hurried visitor has to go up himself and
see about it. In this building there stands g

official Crop Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 22.-The
weekly crop bulletin says frosts have occurred
throughout the Mis- iissippi and Missouri val
leys, and in New England they have caused
some light injury to the corn, which is now
being generally cut.
If the favorable condition continues, the
corn will be safe in from ten days to two
weeks.
The week has been generally favorable for
farm work, and much seedi.g and blowing
have been done. The fall of ram in the east
and south has been excessive, while IN the
west there has been a general deficiency.
The seasonal rainfall from March is in eX-
cess of the average in the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys.

Must Act Together.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 23.-Gen-
eral Palmer recommends that the encamp-
ment take some decided action against per-
sonal solicitations from posts and depart
ments, unless the object for which the funds
are asked are specified in writing, duly at
tested by the commander of the depart
ment to which the comrade making the ap-
peal belongs, and approved by national
headquarters. He also recommends that the
encampment take action preventing posts
from sending direct to congress CT other leg
islative bodies, petition in the interest or at
the solicitation of individuals. 1t frequent
ly inn eded the progress of legislation for
the veterans, destroyed the influence of the
order, and placed many IN false light be
fore the people of the country.

than was expected. The different roads had

unlimited number. But few special trains
have gone.
The cholera scare has had its influence and
the stiff rates adhered to by the roads got
their work in. Post after post of the Grand
Army. which had about completed arrange

Mrs. Harrison passed favorable day, the
best she has experienced since she was strick-
en- down with the pleurisy ten days ago. and
her physicians express confidence this even
ing of her recovery from that particular
complication.
They admit, however, that the terrible
seeds of consumption are still present and
are apt to continue their steady inrOads into
her constitution. The manner in which she
is recovering from the pleurisy encoura ges
the physicians to believe she has a lighting
chance against the more serious malady with
