from the President.

The New Tammany Society, or Columbian
Order, Celebrates the Fourth Letter
from the President.
New YORK, July 5.-The new Tam
many society, or Columbian order, yes
terday celebrated the 1O4th celebration
of the il.th anniversary of independ-
cnce. Shortly after l o'clock the mem
bers of the society wended their way to
the platform, headed by Mayor Gilrov,
who is grand sachem of the order.
When the applause which greeted their
arrival died away. the mayor and grand
sachem opened the proceedings with
words of welcome. The society's
scribe, Maurice +. Holahan, then read
the declaration of independence.
Speaker Crisp and other distinguished
speakers delivered addresses.
Secretary McGoldrick next read let
ters of regrets from distinguished per-
sonages. President Cleveland, under
date of June 16, wrote to Rich ard
Croker thus:
Dear Sir: regret that am unable to ac
cept the invitation of the Tammany society TO
attend the celebration of the anniversary Of
American independence on the Fourth of July
next This Is day which all true Americans
ought 10 celebrate as often il occurs. When,
however the commemora tion OF the discovery
of the land occupy and the celebra rion
when IL was consccrated to liberty and popular
government are coincdent the occasion should
revive and stimulate all the ennobling and
patriotic sentiments which are essential to the
safety and the pcrpetuity Of the American con-
stitution.
At such time it is fitting that we rejoice in
the daunt;ess purpose and constant devo-
ton that have thus far marked out the way
of our great nation We lose the most impor-
tant lesson of the day celebrate if we forget
that the labor and diligence of those
intrusted with self government must be unre
uniting and always patriotic There has never
been Il time when our countrymen should
be more soberly reminded that they
can not safely delegate their duties
and obligations OF citizenship nor neglect to
cultivate their in iividual and personal inter
csts in public affairs. II those who now cello
brate the anniversary of Amer:cln independ-
ence guard against the sordid struggle fo- un-
earned wealth that STILES patriotism; il they
exact from public servants the strictest
countability in the performance of public duties;
IL they hold fist to the American iieas that
work is honorable and that economy is a virtue:
if they insist there should be honesty and clean
illness in politics, and if they refuse TO encour
age eXpedcnts that endanger the foundation of
sound national finance, those who follow US
will joyously celebrate the dLy in centuries yet
TO come.

FRIENDS OF SILVER.
Can for q Meeting of the BimetalIic Con-
vcntion at Chicago. August l.


WASHINGTON, July 5. President
Warner of the Bimetallic league shas
ssued the call for the meeting of the
eague at Chicago August l. The idea
of the silver people is to meet at Chi
cago and adjourn to Washington. Here
The convention will reassemble at about

will probably continue in session until
after the organization of that body
The following is Gen. Warmers call:
The recent elimination of events of the great.
.st moment to the people of this country calls
'or wise counsel and determined action on the
oart OF all pstriotic citizens A con-
,erted purpose is manifest to seize upon the
present opportunity to destroy silver as
money and to establish finally and forever the
single gold standard, and at one stroke to
,hange all debts TO gold debts, with never
ending rise OF gold and fail of prices A fnan-
,ial disturbance, largely artificial and needless,
las been created as an object lesson, and falsely
attributed TO the present silver law, in order ont
of it to create a manifestation OF public senti
nent under cover Of which the greater crime
of overthrowiug the money OF the constitution
and establishing the single gold standard may
oe consummated AS part OF the same great
conspiracy, the mints Of India have been
closed, and the shock is felt around the world.
Congress has been called to meet in extra ses-
sion August :. II at this session the money
standard of the constitution is overthrown and
the single gold standard is finally established
to be extended over the world, an economic rev.
oiution will have been inargurated more dis
1strous to the welfare of mankind and especial
iy to the producing and laboring classes, than
any in the history OF the world
In view, therefore, of the threatening condi-
tions that have arisen, and in a nswer to the nu-
merous appeals for action, tho exc cItivc COM
mi,tee Of the American Bimeta allie league has
deemed it proper to call 4 national convention
TO be held at Chicago beginning August I. and
TO con tinue as long the conv 'ntion may di-
rect. Ali members Of the league are urged to
attend and all who are in favor of maintaining
the monev of the constitution and opposed to
the establishment of the single gold STANDARD
in the United States, without regard to party
are invited TO attend and participate in the de-
libera'ions of the convention.
Al economic associations and al industrial
organization, are requested TO send delegates
TO this convention. A special invitation is ex-
tended to members of congress and members
of state legislatures. Governors of states an
requested TO appoint many delegates as they
may deem proper.

FIGHTING FOR THEIR FEES.

Kansas Sherins Propose to Test the New
Law Concerning Mortgage Foreclosures.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 3.-Sherih John
NJ. Wilkerson, of Shawnee county, i'll
behalf of the Sheriffs' association of
Kansas, has commenced proceedings in
the supreme court to test the effect OF
the new mortgage law on sheriffs' fess..
The new law provides that when prop
erty sold under foreclosure ispurchased
by the mortgagee the sheriff is not en-
titled to any fee.
Under the old law the sheriff got q
commission of si6 on every 81, 600 worth
of property sold. The taking away Of
this commission reduces the salaries OF
the Kansas sheriffs, who devote most OF
their attention to foreclosure suits,
almost one-half The only thing the
sheriffs expect to make out of this suit
is to get a decision from the supreme
court as to whether the new law ap-
plies to contracts existing at the time
of the passage of the law, as well as to
new contracts. The sheriffs insist that
it only applies to new contracts.
The question was raised in the dis
trict court of Shawnee county a few
weeks ago, and Judge Hazen decided
that the fees could not be collected. It
is this case which has been taken ia
the supreme court.

CUTTING DOWN.

The Santa Fe Lets Out Many of It's Shop
Men-An Unexpected Order.
TOPEKA, Kan, July lit was only a
short time ago that the daily working
time of the Santa Fe shop hands was
reduced from ten hours to eight and
yesterday another order was issued di-
recting that enough men be discharged
to reduce the expenses 90 per cent.
The order came by wire from Chicago
and was signed by General Manager J.
j. Frey and Superintendent of Ma
chinery John Player, who recently
went there to consult with the heads
of departments.
The order was wholly unexpected by
the men, and the first intimation they
had of it was yesterday afternoon as
they were about to quit work for the
day, when the discharged men were
notified by d. Z. Cain, assistant super
intendent of machinery. The number
included fifty machinists. twenty black
smiths and thirty-five boilermakers.
The men think the order was not
issued to cut down expenses, but to get
rid of some of the men who promoted
the recent strike. One of the dis
charged men said this morning: The
company wants to get even with the
strikers. With the exception of two or
three Homestead men all the dis
charged men are members of the union
and went out on the strike. ] don't
know what our union will do about it.
A meeting will be held tonight"
d. +. Cain, assistant superintendent
of machinery, says he does not know
what inspired the order, but presumes
its object was economy. Nothing was
said in the order about the carpenters,
painters and repairers in the car shops
and Cain does not know whether the
reduction will be extended to them or
whether it will be extended to shops
outside of Topeka.
Both the men and the company's fore
man say that the reduction is not vio-
lation of the contract by which the late
strike was settled. That agreement
was that no men should be discharged
until after the time had been reduced
to eight hours
