GREAT LINCOLN DAY
THE LIVING FLAG AND THE
VETERANS
aud Civilians Join Hand. and
Circle to the Left In the Greatest Pa
rade Ever Seen In the Capital City
The Flag the Feature.

Friday OF the reunion was known as
Lincoln day. 1t was unouestiopablv
the biggest day of all. At the grounds
the morning was devoted to the usual
exercises, and preliminary preparation
to participate in the Lincoln day exer.
cises up town.
Up town, the people were astir early
preparing the floats and paraphernalia
for the monster parade.
AT noon the the crowds began to
flock toward the points Of vantage
along the line of march, and especially
in the vicinity of the living flag. Al
though scheduled to start at . o'clock.
1t was somewhat later before it got
under way. The parade headed by a
platoon of police. and under command
OF Marshal Sizer, was u glorious sight,
and will live long in the emo of all
VINO were fortunate enough to witness
IT, After making the uptown march.
the parade encircled the capitol grounds
and afforded the marchcrs an excellent
opportunity to see the living flag. The
living flag. composed of twelve to six.
teen hundred children. attracted the
old soldier as nothing else could have
done. The children who formed the
stripes were dressed in rcd and white.
Iwo rows of white lltrrnatcd with
two of red. Those wh. formed the
blue field were, of course. IN blue. the
stars. properly arranged. being large
tin ones. The dimension, of the flag
were 6ix?s feet. While the parade
was passing the flag. the children sang
patriotic songs. swaving to AMI fro as
they did so. which gave the flag the
appearance of waving gently in the
breeze.
Thursday at the reunion WIS r.
day for the veterans. The, .,ad re.
covered from their wetting he day be-
Tore and were in excellent spirits. The
usual routine morning exercise were
had. In the afternoon Hon. j. $.
Morton made u lengthy talk to the old
soldiers. The evening campfire go.
under way early and unalloyed hap
piness characterized it. j. Wesley
Tucker was present and amused the
campers with n few anecdotes. Hon.
Howe gave the veterans a good
talk, and took that occasion to bid his
good bye previous to his de-
parture to the Sicily mission. Mrs.
Kate Shepherd, a union spy who was
with the d5th Illinois, spoke at the

VIII ApDeul the Case,

The case of the state against Mrs.
Williams, superintendent of the home
for the friendless. which was decided
last week by Judge Holmes of the dis.
trict court in favor of the society for
the home for the friendless, is to be
appealed to the supreme court by At
torney-General Smyth as soon as a
transcript can be prepared. The case
will he taken to the supreme court on
petition in error. II is not probable
that the case can be finally submitted
to the supreme court for two months
and some time will be required before
the court can hand down an opinion.
There is still some talk of the attorney
of the society of the home beginning
suit. but II the rights of the home can
be tested in the suit brought by the
state no action will be commenced.

who add nothing To the productive
wealth of the country grow rich or
poor by gambling on the wealth pro
duced by others. Men are daily selling
through these exchanges millions OF
bushels OF corn, wheat and other pro-
duce who neither have nor expect 10
have a bushel. and others are buying
millions who never expect to receive a
bushel. Both sides are tamperipp
with the normal prices fixed by the
law OF supply and demand, and ut.
tempting by false and dishonest means
and methods to serve their ends. The
courts have uniformly condemned this
class of business as illegal. and,
though 1t Is under the ban OF the law,
1t still flourishes. The remedy must
be looked for in legislation, and mol
in the courts alone.
THE LAWS AIM.
This act Of Congress is aimed
against all restrictions of Interstate
and we need 10 discuss the
reasonableness of such restrictions. II
Is evidently the purpose of the law to
permit commerce between the states
to flow in it's natural channels, unre.
stricted by any combines, contracts or
conspiracies or monopolies whatever"
Judge Foster cites a long line of de.
cisions and then continues: "But ono
material question remains in the case.
Is the business In which the defend.
ants are engaged between
the states? The circumstance that
their place of business is located on
both sides of the line between the
states of Kansas and Missouri is. in
my opinion, a fact of no material i'm.
portance of the solution OF this cues.
tion-no more than would be the fact
that the business Of a farmer or man.
ufacturer vas so located and that he
passed from II state to the other for
his convenience in the transaction OF
his usual business.
1T is we'll settled that while this
property is the subject OF interstate
commerce. no state, municipality or
other power but Congress can impose
taxes. restrictions or regulations upon
it, except so far as Is proper in the ex.
ercise of police regulations for the
protection of the health, morals and
person of the citizen, and except for
proper charges and regulations for the
use of local instruments as aids or in.
struments to such commerce, such as
docks. bridges, wharves, elevators,
ferries, pilotage, etc.

view Of said acts Of Congress-"

HE REPUDIATES ANARCHY
Debs of the Social Democrats Lectures In
Public.

~
CHICAGO. Sept. 81. Eugene V. Debs
attended a meeting Of branch No. 1 of
the Social Democracy last night and
lectured its members soundly on the
incendiary speeches of the preceding
Sunday. lie told them in plain Ian
suage that he did not favor the use
OF the dagger or the torch. that he
did not advocate arson and assassin
alton. He repudiated the talk of rev.
olution. He declared that violence
and bloodshed had no part in the
plans Of the Social Democracy. He
said the hope of the Social Democracy
lay in peaceful methods, and he
pointed to the ballot as the remedy
for the evils complained of. He told
the Anarchistic element in plain terms
that 1t would be better to withdraw
from the organization.
Several police officers were present
in citizens clothing, but there was no
excuse for their interference. John
j. Cook resigned his membership, de-
claring that Debs had practically
abandoned the colonization scheme
n was seeking to make n political
party.
Branch No, 9. of which Il. Putnam
Quinn Is president, resolved to stand
by the fiery resolutions adopted the
previous Sunday, to resist any action
looking to tho suspension of the
branch by the executive board of the
Social Democracy and to prefer
charges of malfeasance in office
against Eugene V. Dcbs and the four
other members Of the executive board.

Instead of the intra-mural railway
by means of which visitors at the
worlds fair were enabled to make the
circuit of the grounds. the TRANSMITS
issippi is likely to have n cycleway
that will perform n similar service. An
overhead track like a trolley wire will
encircle the grounds, along which I'M
mense carriages resembling inverted
bicycles will run. the wheels travers-
ing the wire and the carriage being
suspended therefrom. Each carriage
will accommodate TOM or five passen-
gers, one of whom will propel it by
of pedals. Carriages may run
either singly or in trains. The appli-
cants for the privilege Of furnishing
this novelty propose to put in 800 car

Members of the board eypect 10 hen

Members of the board expect to hear
more from the Pawnee firm. but they
think that If Patterson has any claim
on the land he should apply through
the county commissioners whose duty
it is to proceed with an appraisement
for sale. Then the matter will be
ready To present to the state board for
approval. The board expects to refuse
all such applications and will stand by
the Sheldon law. If the law is to be
tested, the question at issue will he the
right of the legislature to set aside an
implied contract as set forth in lease
contracts.

PENSIONS AND REVENUES
May he . Deficit at the End of the Year
Expenditures Increase.

Expenditures Increase.
WAsmNeToN. Sept. 2O.-An xiety ha
been expressed In some quarters les
there be a large deficit In the revenues
OF the government at the end of tn,
fiscal year. This solicitude is baset
mainly Upon the fact that the receipt,
from customs under the new tariff Law
for the first month Of its operation
have fallen below the estimate, while
the expenditures, notably for pension
payments, show an increase over the
estimate.
II don't anticipate any deficit In the
revenues Of the government this
year." said Colonel II. Clay Evans, the
commissions Of pensions, to-day, al
though the expenditures for pensions
will be greater than the a~ppropria.
ton, thereby necessitating a deficiency
appropriation for their payment I
don't look for as large an increase,
however, as the payments for the quar-.
ter ending September 80, about S4O,-
900, 900, would seem TO indicate. That
amount includes certificates that have
been held up estimate that the to.
tai payments for the year will not ex-
coed si47, 5000, 900. That Is not an ap-
palling excess by any means, the ap-
preparation for the year being SAL
.63, $50. II there should be an unex-
pected falling off in the revenues, the
pension payments might be curtailed
toward the end of the year, although
| don't think that is Mt all likely"
''How is the increase for the year
accounted for?' Colonel Evans was
asked.
well, to begin with, there are
something like 200, 900 old claims pend
ing before the bureau, which will be
acted upon as rapidly us we can get
to them. A great many of these are
good claims, ought to be and will have
to be allowed. They will involve a
considerable amount Of money, prob
ably $500, 900, although no definite
estimate OF this can be made now.
Then there is q remarkable in.
crease in the number of new applica-
tons for pensions. For instance, in
the last six months Of the fiscal year
1896, the applications under the
general law were $4,000. while in one
month alone in 1897, the month OF
June, there were Is, l6s. The applica-
tions under the act Of June 81, 1890,
six months In 1890 were 10, SOS, and
the month Of juno, 1897, were
~, OOl."
What occasioned such q marked
in the applications?"
well, while l have had little com.
munication with the old soldiers 10
what moved them In the
matter, I think I could make . pretty
good surmise. l guess some Of the
boys had been holding of under the
administration from applying for
concluding that they would
try their chances Of getting
heir applications granted with o Re.
publican administration"

NEW YORK. Sept 20. -George j.
Gould, with his family, returned to
this city yesterday on the American
liner St. Louis. For three months
while he had been resting in Europe
the business revival has added at least
us, 900, 900 TO the value OF the Gould
securities.
There never was q time" said
Gould last night, "when conditions
promised 10 much for the United
States. We have the tariff settled, we
are rid OF the silver and other buga-
boos and-well, everything looks all
right. There has been q strengthen.
ing In the markets all along the line.
Business men abroad realize that the
United States Is now master Of the

short, their needs are great and they

nous crops there will be an increased
activity in railrond securities and the
railroads that are bcnefi ting by this

Gould was told OF the trouble that
has been caused in Tarrytown through
high assessments on estates of wealthy
residents. The upstate people are
simply following the example which
the t~ax-oficers Of this city set them. -"

school Land From Sale.
House roll 1@4. withdra wing school
land from sale. is to be tested as to its
validity. Unier the act the board of
educational lands and funds can make
lease contracts only. There was some
complaint because holders of lease con.
tracts were given short notice of the
change and were therefore obliged to
give up their holdings. being unable to
meet delinquent payments due the
state. Those who could meet all de
linquent payments had the privilege
OF buying the land, but many claimed
they did not have sufficient notice to
enable them to make the necessary ar
rangements.
The firm of Conley & Fulton of Paw
nee City have taken steps to test the
validity of the law They sent in an
application for a state contract cover
ing a piece of school land in Pawnee
county. They made the application in
the name of Il. Patterson and claim
the right to buy was accorded them by
the terms of the lease contract. After
looking II matter up the board de-
cided they could not act on the matter
as no record existed e show that Il.
Patterson had a claim to the land in
question. There i no record of "A
lease or assignment in his name. II i,
not doubted that Mr.. Patterson hold,
an assignment of a lease contract, but
1T is not on record. The board holds
that all assignments must be recorded
in the office Of the land commissioner.
III Mr.. Patterson holds the sale CON
tract the ruling of the board will be
the anne, as the members think the
law governing lease contracts also gov
ems sale contracts.
But i'm addition to this the board. or
a majority of the members. denies that
a lease contract gives the holder "a
right TO purchase at his option. Attor-
ney-General Smyth has investigated
this question and he holds that there
Is no such right accorded holders of
lease contracts. 1t is reported that
lease contracts issued by the state sew
eral years ago contained a clause stat
ing that the lessee could buy at his OPP
ton. but the encouragement says
there is no authority for such a clause.
1t is believed that such contracts have
not been issued by the state for many
years. but il anyone comes forward
with one. its validity will be ques-
toned by the state board.
