In 1888 he peremptorily declined the
use of his name for Congressional honors.
He was member of the Judiciary Com
mittee during his whole service in Con-
.gxsss.aud was pgouiusatly connected with
many proposed acts of legislation, among
others the bankruptcy bill. He headed
the Massachusetts delegation to the Ma
tional Democratic convention at St. Louis
in 1888; he was unanimously chosen per-
nianent Chairman and presented with the
silver gavel which he welded on that &C.
casion. He possesses the magnetic quail
ties that typify our most eminent public
speakers; his commanding presence, dig
nifed and pleasing, is no less attractive
than the tones of his resonant voice
which is clearly heard in the largest
halls. His style of oratory isAforceful,
terse and convincing, impressing an audi
ence with the sincerity of an honest man
whose utterances are full of good pur-
poses, supported by logical proofs and
devoid of false coloring Gen. Collins
has resided at Mt. Ida, Dorchester, since
1887, having removed there from South

and three children, his best days of peace
and happiness are enjoyed within theil

OFF FOR WASHINGTON.

Hon. Oscar Turner left Thursday to at
tend the session of Congress, which be-
gins next Monday. Mr.. Turner will prob
ably be the youngest member of the
National Legislature, but his friends ex-
pect he will make his mark as a Con-
gresham, and have confidence in his
ability to represent his district to the en-
tire satisfaction of his constituents. Some
of the Republican politicians of this city
are talking about the possibility of his
being unseated in the contest instituted
against him by Walter Evans, after the
latter's defeat. Such proceeding would
be a worse outrage than Goebelism, and
would forever condemn the Republican
party-n the eyes of the people of this dis
trict. The Irish Americans of this dis
trict helped to elect Mr.. Turner and take
pardonable pride in the fact that the cleo
ton was the fairest ever held in the Fifth
district. Should Congress commit the
outrage of unseating Turner, the district
can be relied upon to be safely Demo
cratic for years to come. Mr.. Turner is a
gentleman, who is we'll worthy the honor
bestowed upon him by his constituents,
and it is predicted by his friends that he
will do more for the Fifth district than
has been done by any Congressman for
years past.

dorsed and issued, good results may be
looked for. One of the main objects OF
this organization will be to formulate
bills and recommend such legislation TO
the State Legislature as will be of the
greatest benefit to the working people.
1t was recommended that membership
be limited to one representative from
each union, regardless of its membership,
and that the delegates expenses should
be betrayed by the unions sending them.
These State Federations exist in New
York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Missouri and Utah, and have been
instrumental in obtaining favorable legis-
lation for the laboring classes where they
exist.
The support of the Central body was
also pledged the Association of Street
Railway Employees in the work of adding
to their membership, which now EN-
braces the men on nearly all the princi-
pal runs.
Considerable business of a routine char
acter was disposed Of before the meeting

tional Democratic conventions of 1876
and 1880.
In the latter year he became a member
of the Democratic State Committee, and
was its Chairman since 1884. Gen. Col
Inns was elected to represent the Fourth
Massachusetts District in Congress in
1882, reelected in 1884, and although
early in 1886 he issued letter declining
to be considered as a candidate, he was
nevertheless unanimously renominated
and reelected that year.
Notwithstanding his activity in Ameri-
can politics, much of his time and ability
have been devoted to the cause of Ireland.
His connection with the Fenian Brother
hood, from 1862 to 1870, Secretary of the
Philadelphia convention, Chairman of a
subsequent one, and the distinction of
being elected the first President of the
Irish National Land League Of America
all bespeak his loyalty.
In the summer of 1887 Gen. Collins
visited Ireland and England. He was re-
ceived with perfect ovation by the peo-
pie everywhere, his fame having preceded
him. In London complimentary din
ner was rendered him by Parnell, at which
all members of the Irish Parliamentary
party, as we'll as English and Scotch
members, were present. He was also
banqueted by the Lord Mayor of Dublin
and corporation, and the great and rare
distinction of the freedom of the city for
distinguished services was conferred upon
him. In Cork he was also received with
every mark of honor and esteem. He
was an honored guest at the Ancients
ceremony of casting the dart, and at the
festivities following.

pARNELL HOMESTEAD SAVED.

Tammany Hall saves the Parnell home
stead in County wicklow, Ireland, from
passing under the hammer of the auction
eer by subscribing SIS, 900, which is s, 900
in excess of the mortgage. Accompany
ing the draft was the following personal
letter from Mr.. Croker, dated Novem-

81 have the honor in behalf of Tam
many Hall to herewith inclose draft for
e., 900 for the purpose of clearing the en-
tire incumbrance now resting upon the

read and acted upon, the most important
being from the Commerce Commission Of
the State of New York, requesting the
cooperation of the workingmen of this
city in support of the measures to be
presented at the next session of Congress
in behalf of American shipping interests.
The Commerce Commission calls atten-
ton to the long neglect of this great
trade, stating that at the present time 80
per cent of the American shipping is be-
ing done in foreign vessels built on for
eign shores. Congress will be asked to
pass resolutions calling for an American
built, American-owned and American
manned merchant marine for our foreign
carrying trade. The proposition was
heartily Endorsed and Representative
Young will urge favorable action by the

ton.
The General Executive Board of the
National Clothing Cutters and Trimmers'

Central Labor Union upon the occasion
of the visit here of their representative,

81 HAVEN'T YET BEGUN TO FIGHT"

The remains of John Paul Jones, Amer
ica's first naval commander, who struck
terror to Englands navy during the Rev
olution, lie in French soil. The Ameri-
eau Historical Society has prepared for
bringing the remains to this country, and
issued the following address to the Amer
lean people:
"The Irish-Anerican Historical Society
has heard with much pleasure the propo-
sition to bring back to these shores the
remains of John Paul Jones.
I'VE cordially indorse the idea and
hereby publicly express our hearty readi-
ness to cooperate in this most patriotic
undertaking.
"For one hundred years the remains Of
this gallant American officer have reposed
in the soil of France-France, our ancient
ally and present friend. For one hun
dred years his memory has been an in
spiration to the American navy, and his
deeds are forever treasured in the arch
ives of the nation.
Though his remains have been sacred
ly guarded by France for century, it is
but fitting that they should at last have
final resting place here in the United
States, land he loved so much and for
which he fought so bravely and so well.
"John Paul Jones will long be remein-
bered in American naval annals as one Of
the most heroic officers who ever swore
allegiance to the constitution and the
flag. Fruitful in resource, prompt to
act, bold in the face of tremendous odds,

Address of Central Labor I'm
ion to Organized Labor
in Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 25, 1899.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. %, 1899.
To the Trade and Labor Organizations of
the State of Kentucky, Greeting:
The apathy of the Labor Unions of the
State as to legislation affecting their in
terests, the seeming indifference of our
Legislators, both in the Senate and House
of Representatives, as to the future of
those who toll in work shop, mill and
mine; the absolute necessity for a closer
utilization OF State unions under one
head, in order that our efforts TO secure
better conditions may become more eff
fective, forces the Central Labor Union
to take the initiative toward the estab-
lishment of State Federation of Labor.
The proposition to form State branch is
not a new one. We find that the States
that have the best labor laws are those
where State FedeIations of Labor exist.
OF the States that can boast of having
enacted the very best laws for its people
are Connecticut. Illinois, Iowa, Massa-
chusetts, Missouri. Nebraska, New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, Ohio, Utah and
| Wisconsin. Wherever the working peo'
pie of a State are the best organized
there, as if by magic, grand improvement
sets in. On the other hand, wherever the
State labor is poorly. organized condi'
tions are worse and laws are bad.
If, then, we are to secure any legisla-
ton at the next session of the Legislature
which convenes at the State Capitol, be
ginning in January, 1900, now is the time
to act, by preparing such bills as will be Of
benefit to yours and kindred organiza
tons.
i The basis Of representation is one dele
gate for each Union. regardless of mem
bership. Each Union is to pay the ex
penses of its delegate. The question O
establishing State labor paper will als'
be discussed.
N With kindest wishes and hoping L
hear from yon favorab.y, we remain fra
ternally,

AWFUL WARNING.

There was a man who was too stingy
to subscribe for his home paper, so sent
his little son to neighbor to borrow one.
AS the boy was going home he fell down
and broke his leg The father heard his
cries and ran out to see what was the
matter, but slipped and fell, dislocatinR
his knee and tearing the bosom out OF
his ten-dollar pantaloons. His wife ran
to his assistance, leaving two-year-old
baby On the floor. The baby crawled
out and fell down the we'll, and while
the mother was fishing the child out
the house caught FIRE and was totally
destroyed. Moral-Now is the time 70
