The Parade in New York.

New YORK, Sept. 3.-The Central
Labor Union has arranged to have
a larger parade to-day than it has
had for several years past. AS this
is the first year in which the day
will be celebrated as a national
holiday, several trades unions
were inaugurated by the Central
Labor Union in 1888, when the
Labor leaders wanted to impress
employers and politicians with the
strength and magnitude of organ
lied labor. The first Labor Day
parade was a large one, and raised
the political hopes of the labor
leaders. Independent political
action was agitated, and the move
ment grew and eliminated in the
Henry George campaign, when the
labor candidate for Mayor polled
6S,O0O votes. The officers of the
parade are: Grand Marshal, Will
liam j. O'Brien, of the Granite
Cutters aides, Jacob f. Bausch,
Of the Wood Carvers John Ulrich,
of the Varnishers, and Joseph
Cuddihy, of the Iron Molders.

A hundred thousand dollars
spent on digging a few bitches and
drains for u streets, would be
we'll invested.
The suburbs are getting along
pretty well the past few weeks
without water mains, as the house
keepers have caught all their
buckets and washtubs full of rain
water.
A cloud burst at the foot of the
hills near West End lake, like that
at Uvalde, would sweep away al
most every house On the Alazan
creek.
Will some wide-awake alder
man introduce a resolution, de-
manding that the weeds and brush
in the streets be cut down.
