Letter Carriers Claim from the Govern
ment Under the Eight Hour Law.
PHILADELPHIA, May 4.-The eight hour
law in the Post Office, which went into
effect on Monday promises to be very ex-
pensive and troublesome measure for the

claims for overtime against Uncle Sam,
met last night in Mercantile Library Hall
and adopted resolutions to place these
claims amounting to over 500, 600 in the
hands of Washington attorneys for collec-
tion through the Court of Claims. The
resolutions also recommend that all the
claims for overtime under the original
eight-hour law of May 4, 1887, amended
by the law of 1888, be placed in charge of
the same attorneys This makes in all
claims of about $50, 900 against the United
States on the part of the Philadelphia let
ter carriers.
About 80 claims of Central Station car
riers have already been paid.

dence MAJ who was held in the Rome Jail

the prisoners were confined The cage was
separated from the office by two heavy
iron doors, but these were both unlocked
and open at the time.
The jailor had been in the cage convers-
ing with Lyman and other prisoners who
were in the corridor. Lyman was making
tea over gas jet He asked for sugar
and the jailer went into the basement to
get it for him. The men unlocked the
door of the cage, walked through the open
doors into the office, opened door cou-
municating with the street, and disap-
peared.
The jailor discovered the escape a mo-
ment after they left and followed them
short distance, but they succeeded in
eluding him. The whole police force is
searching the city and surrounding coun-
try.

of nearly $1,000 in September, '91, and
was arrested in Buffalo on April 8, last,
and brought to Rome His two compan-
ions were arrested on April 16 for bur-

Association.
The Wool Growers Association ol
Ohio recently met in annual session 81

adopted the following platform offered
by President Judge William Lawrence
of Bellefontaine. 1t is broad enough
for every farmer to stand upon, no
matter what his politics in the past, al
though if he is opposed to free wool he
must vote for Governor Mckinley and
the Republican ticket:

farms.
RESOLVED, That the wool growers Of
Ohio and of the United States are earnestly
urged to oppose the nomination or election
Of any candidate for any political office who
will not favor full and adequate protection
for the wool industry.
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as the recent
panic and the continued monetary strin.

one necessary remedy is to so legislate that
we will cease importing wool, which comes
chiefly from countries that take substan-
TALLY nothing from us in return but gold.
RESOLVED That the vyppl pf
Ohio and of the United States are earnestly
urged to attend the massmeeting of wool
growers, wool dealers, the cotton planters,
the farmers and members of the Grange

Governor McKinley's Advice to Ohio
Republicans at Akron Last Tuesday.
81 have an abiding faith that upon
the issues which are before us and
which divide us, the right will triumph
by the judgment of the tribunal of the
people. Both parties can not be right.
have confidence unshaken that upon
every issue presented by the Democratic
party the Republican party is right.
Its triumph, however, will not come
without effort and energy. We learned
last year that faith without works did
not win the victory. This year there is
confident spirit everywhere prevail
ing. We should be admonished by last
years experience that majorities are
not secured by confidence alone. This
year let us accompany our confidence
with zeal, with work, with full vote.
Never was political contest in Ohio
more important, never an impressive
Republican majority more needed,
never its accomplishment moro certain,
if all who believe alike will act together.
] am sure the opportunity now given to
the people to make their voice heard
and needed. will not pass unimproved
! do not appeal for party triumph
merely, but for cause which is the
peoples cause. l rest my appeal upon
the principles and politics for which the
Republican party stands protection
and reciprocity, honest money and an
honest ballot. These secured and con-
tinued will insure the highest interests
of the people, advance the general well
fare, promote our industrial develop
ment. encourage the true American
sentiment, establish confidence in the
future and lift the clouds which have

DEMOCRATIC TIMES.

There's silence in the factories,
The spindles work no more;
"Suspendedp' is the legend seen
On many bankers door,
The workmen sit in idleness
And listens to the chimes;
The farmers wheat is fifty cents
These Democratic times.
The miner throws aside his pick,
The mines no longer pay;
He knows the wolf is at his door
And can't be pushed away.
The farmers sigh for prices which
They have in other climes,
And tramps are seen on every road
These Democratic times.
The roosters that we heard last fall
No longer for us crow;
The last one pined away and died
OF shame some time ago.
They begged no poet would make for
them
His mortuary rhymes;
Though they were fought, they couldn't
stand

ARMSTRONG PARK PICNIC.

Governor Mckinley and Past Com
mander Warner of Ohio Talk.
A fairly large crowd attended the
veterans jubilee at Armstrong; Park
yesterday afternoon to hear the pension
question discussed by prominent mem
bers of the Ct. A. r. The speakers ad-
vertised to address the veterans failed
to appear, with the exception of Gov
ernor Mckinley and Past Commander
Warner of Ohio.
Governor Mckinley was Arst intro
duced, and spoke but few moments.
He said that he would be unable to
make an address for the reason that he
was on the program to speak at Tom
lnson Hall in the evening and would
have to reserve his force for that oc-
casion. In the few remarks he made
the Governor did not refer to the po-
litical situation. In concluding he eulo-
gized very aptly the work done by the
G.. A. r. and the results accomplished.
He said: 'Some things are so priceless
that nations must pay for them in blood.
We paid for this Union with the best
blood of the land. 1t was the best
young blood of the country. But they
did not fight in vain. Mr.. Lincoln said:
Let US, the living, advance that which
the dead begun The business of the
G.. A. R. now is to preserve the great
work wrought in that civil conflict.
Whatever else they may take from us
they can not take away our patriotism.
! We will continue to fight for the coun-
| try if every pension ever granted is
taken away from us. 1t gives me
pleasure to greet you, comrades. love
you ALL There is no comradeship in
this world like that of fighting for
common cause"
| After leaving the stand Governor
Mckinley was picked up by his COM
! rades and carried on their shoulders
through the crowd. No other speakers
being present, Master Clifford Grapes of
! Columbus, o.. the champion boy SOL
dier, gave an exhibition of his skill in
military tactics. The Mary Logan
/ cadets of Columbus, o., gave exhibition
drills during the afternoon before de-
| lighted groups of G. A. r. men. Late
| in the afternoon Past Commander War
ner of Ohio arrived and spoke to his
/ comrades for a short time. He referred
| in very bitter terms to the actions Of
the present Administration in regard
to the pension question. sit seems
! strange" said the Commander, ''that at
! this late day there should be any ques-
tion about pensions and their distribu-
ton. 1t seems strange that man who
suffered in defense of his country should
have to be troubled about the pension

History repeats itself. The people
have no confidence in the capacity, good
faith or purpose of the Democratic
party in the management of the
finances of the country. What we are
experiencing now under Cleveland we
have experienced in every Democratic
President before him, from jackson
down. Examine the record; there was
financial depression in the time of Jack
son. During the administration of
Martin Van Buren the greatest depres-
sion prevailed. "Shinplasters" were is
sued for currency, and mobs broke into
-four and provision stores. There was
trouble in the time Of James X. Polk.
During the time of Franklin Pierce
banks failed all over the country, and
every bank in New York except one
suspended. Factories stopped work all
over the country, crowds of unemployed
men, women and children gathered in
the cities clamoring for bread, and SO
history is again repeating itself. When
Cleveland was elected the country was
prosperous. Labor was employed every
where and people happy. In four
months all this is changed to the con-
ditions prevailing under his Democratic
predecessors. Why viii workingmen
not see that every Democratic victory,
gained only through their help. brings
misery upon themp Instead of ''iying
In clover. under Grover" they live on
thistles.
