THE POLICY OF UNREST con-
DENIED.

-
The Washington Post is having some
difficulty In making its position understood
by the cuckoo element in the departments
and the thick and thin supporters OF the
outspoken u%tterance in regard to the
Maine election and its declaration that the
country is likely to regard the Republican
party as the safest custodian OF it's well
fare under existing circumstances has
thrown Democrats at the capital into a
sort of moral .conniption fit" They
charge 1t with having betrayed It's prln-
ciples.' gone over TO Republicanism," and
that sort Of thing.
AS the Post is an independent paper. 1t
does not betray any principle by being
Independent. and 1t has not gone over to
Republicanism further than TO print the
news and tell the truth about 1T. 1t has
not wavered In it's opposition to the vicious
attack of the Democratic party on Amer
lean industries. and now it reminds its
cuckoo readers that when Mr.. Wilson
proclaimed amidst uproarious applause that
he intended to perpetuate the agitation of
his fantastic and hysterical philosophy
the Post prophesied that the American peo-
pie would repudiate a party capable Of
such insensate mischief and folly" All
the elections of the current year have
tended to verify this prediction. and Moth
ing but a miracle can arrest or change
the course of public opinion. The Post
says:
To us the case seems clear as day: The
country is tired Of unrest, and agitation,
and suspense. Our industries have been
PROSTATE for more than two years. Com
merce has languished. trade and manu-
facture have reached their lowest ebb.
hundreds OF thousands OF our people have
been reduced to want. the land has tainted
In the shadow of a great calamity. The
people need a new dispensation, they need
peace, security and confidence, they need
a of industrial activity. and
emancipation from the letters of despair.
And IL the Democratic leaders of the
House propose. as they have said, to come
back here next winter to renew the strife
emerged and TO suspend material progress
while they indulge in agitating contro-
versy, why lnen the people will achieve
their own salvation by snatching power
from hands SO shamefuily incapable OF
using 1t beneficentiy.
The Democratic leaders of the House
and the party leaders generally propose
to do just what the Post says the people
do not want and will not have. viz: Con-
tinue their warfare on American indus
tries. President Cleveland. Speaker Crisp.
Chairman Wilson and all the party leaders
are pledged to this policy. 1t is clearly
foreshadowed by the introduction OF the
popgun bills adding to the free list and
by every official utterance of the party.
The Democrats do not intend that the
country shall have any rest from tariff
agitation il they can help it. They are
pledged to a policy of unrest, and this is
what the Post condemns as an outrage on
the country and suicidal to the party.
IL is right. the cuckoos TO the contrary
not withstanding

that it is necessary to know something Of

them considerable strain OF intellect to get
an imperfect grasp on the wicked mys-

Washington dispatches state that some
hundreds of government officials and
clerks have left the city to vote for tie
denomination OF Colonel Breckenridge at
the primary election which is to be held in
the Ashland district to-day. Comparatively
few government employees attended the
Grand Army encampment al Pittsburg be-
cause they were afraid to ask for a leave
of absence. The Kentuckians who nave gone
home to vote for Breckenridge have done so
With the knowledge and approval of their
superiors, and. presumably. OF the President.
The contrast between the treatment of the
Union veterans and these Breckenridge
Democrats shows that the administration
Is as deficient in morals as it is in patriot
lam.

or manner. and he has never had any place

heavy type, and he is treated with unusual

and loggy Mr.. Borrowe. who has for years
spent most of his time in a small back
room of a cafe near Eighteenth street, pos

named must be rather startling to the
Jays, Vanderbilts, Beckmans and Whitneys.

air of pleased and childish delight on her

g. A. r. veterans back from Pittsburg
report a good time and a royal recep-
tion. but they are not disposed to belIttle
the entertainment offered by this city last
year. as a disgruntled local newspaper and
a few OF its friends. born since the war,
are doing. On the contrary. they say that
though each city in which the annual re-
union is held has its W distinctive meth
DDS OF extending it's courtesies. Indianapo-
lis loses nothing by comparison. In one
respect. at least. and that in the spirit of
hospitality manifested by al citizens to-

The Rooster He Wore ON His Hat.
Come pause for a while in your play.
My boy.
And put down your ball and your bat
Attend 10 me well
While a story / tell
OF a man who was tempted astray.
My boy.
And the rooster ne wore on his hat.
This man was a laborer skilled,
My boy.
Contented and happy thereat;
For his job was secure,
And his wages were sure,
But his heart with a longing was filled,
Ny boy,
For a rooster to wear on his hat.
One day some ~demagogues came,
My boy.
For demagogue read Democracy
And spouted and brayed
In behalf of free trade,
Till they set all his fancy aflame,
My boy.
For a rooster to pin on his hat.
He whooped like an imbecile loon.
My boy.
For a candidate fussy and fat.
Whose inflated renown
Soon collapsed and came down;
And il fell like a punctured balloon,
My boy,
On the rooster that sat on the hat.
Now his partisans float in the soup,
My boy.
Along with the bill they begat.
The cuckoos all sigh
For their vanishing pie:
And the rooster is sick with the roup,
My boy,
Poor rooster that rode on the hat.
And poverty sits in the seat,
My boy,
Where competence formerly sat,
And the laboring man.
Through this fatuous plan.
Is now left with nothing TO eat,
My boy,
But the rooster he wore on his hat.
Then take warning and never forget.
My boy,
Free-traders are blind as a bat.
Their promise of good
Is adversity's food.
And the laborer hong will regret,
My boy.
The rooster he wore on his hat.

SHORT In HER FUNDS
LADIES OF HI O.. a. X. ROBBED by
THEIR NATIONAL TREASURER.
Mrs. Anna T.. Grub, of Camden, n.
-, Charged with inappropriate
ing $500 of the Orders Money.

PITTSBURG. Sept. 14--By an official
announcement to-day Mrs. Anna L.
Grubb. OF Camden. ". j., past national
treasurer of the Ladies of the @. A. r.,
is charged with Incorporating the funds
of that organization.
This statement in the ladies' meeting to-
day created a sensation unequaled In the
history of the order since its beginning.
The proceedings Of the convention were
secret, but one OF the ladies who is in
high standing makes the statement that
Mrs. Grubb has defaulted TO the amount
OF 500, and suit has been brought against
her bondsmen TO recover. Mrs. Grubb. she
says, was reelected TO the Office several
times, and had the confidence Of the ladies
to such an extent that the auditors. in go
ing over her books, considered ii neces-
sary only to make a cursory examination
How long the shortage has existed Is not
stated, but at the Washington encamp-
ment the books were thought TO be correct
and she was reelected. At Indianapolis.
in 1898, when a new treasurer was elected.
Mrs. Grub failed to turn over some OF
the books. and investigation then discov-
cred the discrepancy. When Mrs. Carrie
". Sheriff. who was president in lS92.
learned of this fact, she. together with
attorney John NJ. Nandersliee, OF Phila-
delphia, conferred with Mrs. Grub in
Camden, and suit was filed through Voor-
hees brothers. attorneys OF Camden. This
was six months ago. and the case will come
to trial next month. 1t appears that moth
ing of this was known to the members OF
the order until to-day.
In the very warm discussion which fol-
lowed the announcement, Mrs. Margaret a.
Stevens. OF Camden. a member OF the
McNier, who was the first national presi-
dent, made urgent appeals in behalf OF
Mrs. Grub. and suggested that the ladies'
donate enough 10 make up the deficiency,
hoping TO keep the scandal from becoming
public. Others. however. bitterly de-
nounced the ex-treasurer. and insisted that
the law take it's course. The majority
voted in favor of prosecution. and the end
is not yet. The excuse made for Mrs.
Grubb by her friends is that when she
used the money II was to help her hus-
band out of financial straits ana she could
not return it when called upon.

Col. Charles G.. Murphy. OF Nebraska,
sometimes called "Indian Corn" Murphy.
has given another proof OF his patriotic in
terest IN American products abroad by
securing a gold medal for the California
wine exhibit at the Universal Exposition
at Antwerp. For several years past Col.
Murphy has been devoting himself with
gratifying success to introducing and pop
ularizing the different kinds OF Indian
corn foods among European peoples. This
Is his hobby. but it seems he has time for
other matters. The awarding OF a medal
TO the California wines at Antwerp was
the more remarkable because the wines did
not reach there until after the awards had
been made and the jury had adjourned.
The matter was only reopened through the
earnest efforts OF Colonel Murphy, and it
seems that when the wines were once adj
mltted they were on their merits. Yet
there are thousands OF Americans who
think they are not drinking good wine un-
less Il wears a foreign label. and IL has
not been long since the purchaser for a
club not a thousand miles from this city

ANOTHER TARIFF RULING.
No Duty ON Salt Imported for Curing
Fish.

WASHINGTON, Sept H.-Secretary Car
Isle, In answer to a letter from Francis d..
Moulton & Co., New York, made an i'm
portant decision with reference to salt i'm
ported for the fisheries. Moulton & Co..
asked whether salt imported for the fisher
les was still free of duty. as under the Nc
Kinley act. TIL Secretary, after citing the
section of the act of 1880. providing for the
free importation in bond of salt used in
curing FISH taken by vessels licensed to en-
gage in the fisheries. and in curing fish on
the shores of the n~avigable waters OF the
United States, and also for the refuDding
of duty TO exporters of meats cured with
imported salt, says: While this language
Is omitted in the present law. it does not
appear to be Inconsistent with the provi-
sions thereof. The department, therefore.
holds that the paragraph cited has not
been repealed, and that dutiable salt in
bond may continue to be withdrawn for
curing fish free OF duty"
