The Observance of the Day Opened
with n CreditabIe Parade in
Downtown streets.
At THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS
THE CROWD WAS ANXIOUS TO SEE
THE COTTAGE BLOWN UP.
Dynamite Cartridge Finally Used to
Do the Work-yarious Kinds
of Races Enjoyed.

Yesterday was Labor day, the toilers'
day of rest and amusement. and il was
generally observed in this city. All tools
were laid aside. the noise and hum of
the factory ceased. massive smoke stacks
usually made conspicuous by black volumes
of smoke, lacked that form of attraction,
and the busy industries of the city were
wrapped in silence. Very few, if any. fac
torres continued operations yesterday. and
all Iaboring men were permitted to enjoy
their holiday as they saw fit.
The regular programme of the day was
in the hands of the labor organizations
of the city. and was carried out with
the precision that marks the laboring
mans daily habits. Nothing was left un-
done that would add to the pleasure of the
event. and no pains we're spared TO make
the celebration all thai. could be desired.
Generally, the laborins men, with their
families took an outing, the greater num-
Der going to the fair grounds, where the
programme of the day proper was OBJ
served. but there was also a liberal sprink-
ling of the laboring element at all the
parks of the city, where minor affairs
took place. A few spent the day at home
or visiting with friends.
Never did this city see such demonstra-
ton of organized labor and never was
celebration of the laboring mems holiday
carried out with such complete success
The new plan of eliminating long speeches
was appreciated, and brought many more
people out to spend the day at the fair
grounds and parks than would otherwise
have turned out. The whole affair was in
the hands of organized labor, directed by
a committee composed of delegates from
each labor union in the city. Preparatory
measures being centralized in this one
body, everything went off without friction,
and well-set plans materialized to the en-
tire satisfaction of the committee and all
interested.
Chairman NJ. Il. Butler, of the Labor-day
committee, had the supervision of the af-
fair, and there was a lack of dissension and
discord frequently characteristic of prep
arations for like events. There was not a
flaw to mar the pleasure of the entire pro-
ceeding. and it is said that more laboring
men and their families took part in yester-
days celebration than at any similar event
in tho history of INDIANAPOLIS

Bishop Alexander Walters VIII Give
Him Hearty support.

'T have been asked to sign a paper
pledging myself to support President Nc
Kiney," said Bishop Alexander Walters,
president of the Afro-American Council,
last night land 1 told the gentleman who
presented the paper to me that 1 would
sign it willingly, provided it should be on
the understanding that l was doing so as
a private citizen and in no sense as having
any connection with the Afro-American
Council. 1 am heartily in favor of the
present administration and shall do all in
my power to secure its continuance for
another four years. but at the same time
| do not wish the council, of which l am
president, to be dragged into politics. The
prime object of the Afro-American Council
is the uplifting and betterment of the con-
0ition of the colored race, and / believe
that when ii is sitting a council all
talk of a political character should be
barred.
ut is my understanding" continued
Bishop Walters, that the paper to which
L refer is being circulated among the
bishops and other delegates TO the Zion
Council now in session in Jones's chapel in
this city. L have talked with several to
whom the paper has been presented and
they lcok upon the matter favorably.
think IL is safe to say that majority of
the gentlemen attending the Zion Council
will unite with majority of the dele
gates to the recent Afro-American Council
in affixing their signatures to that paper.

THE GOVERNORS SPEECHES.
He VIII Have Something to Say of
Trusts This Campaign.

In my speeches in this campaign I in
tend to discuss trusts as one of the issues
before the people, declared Governor
Mount last night, land 1 think the Repub-
licans can make quite as good showing
on this issue as the Democrats can. The
very worst trusts in the United States-the
most formidable ones-are the Standard
Oil. the dressed beef, ice and insurance
trusts. and 1 hardly think the most be-
nighted Democratic stump orator can main
tain that either of these combinations were
created or have been fostered by the pro-
tective tariff. which is vehemently
charged as a crime against Republicans.
81 have taken occasion to look a little
into Mr.. Bryan's record on trusts, con-
tinued the Governor, land / have found
some interesting facts. Mr.. Bryan was in
Congress after the year 1892, when the
Democratic national platform declared
against trusts and President Cleveland rec
commended drastic antitrust legislation,
and yet Mr. Bryan did not open his head
on the trust question, nor did the Demo-
cratic party attempt to amend the Sher-
man antitrust bill or TO add another line
to it or furnish one single line of legisla-
ton upon the trust question. During that
administration (Mr. Cleveland's) something
like 400 trusts were organized in the United
states. Mr.. Bryan speaks Tor the sake OF
popularity and to win votes, but his acts
as a legislator do not indicate that in such
capacity he was influenced by any great
concern for the interests of the people.
THE trust question is an important ques-
ton and one that must be met boldly" said
the Governor. with emphasis. Il do not
propose to evade it on the stump, but
shall expose these gigantic corporations as
a menace TO the prosperity of the country.
Furthermore, / say without the slightest
hesitancy or fear that, if 1 did not believe
the Republican party would give Us posi-
tive legislation against these dangerous
combinations, which are formed for the
purpose of arbitrarily controlling the price
of products and controlling the law of sup
ply and demand If / did not believe the
Republican party would give us vigorous
legislation against such combinations, L
would not lift my voice in the campaign
My attitude the trust question, as
have outlined il to you, indicates what my
position will be in the canvass.
What we Republicans must DO" the
Governor continued lis to go on the stump
and tell the people the exact truth-that
the only antitrust legislation which has
ever been given them was given by the Re-
publican party In the form of the Sherman
law. passed by Republican Congress. The
Democrats have been in power since that
bill became a law, and trusts have been
multiplying ever since, and yet they neither
strengthened the law. which they have de-
clared to be weak, nor have they offered
anything in place of III. -"

The Fall Festivities Committee Now
at Work.

The work of soliciting funds from the
retail dealers in various lines began yester-
cay, and the results were very satisfactory.
The $4,000 fund, necessary for defraying
the expenses of the October carnival, must
be subscribed at once, and number of
committees are out at work. 1t was decided
yesterday that the trip to Cincinnati under
the auspices of the Fall Festivities Society
will be made soon in order that as much
advertisement for the Indianapolis carni-
val as possible may be obtained. The In
dianapolis Military Band of thirty pieces
will be taken along, and not less than 200
persons will be in the crowd. II is proba-
BILE that stop will be made at Corners
vile. Stops will be made en- route at
Rushville. Greensburg and other points
The Protective Travellers Association is
arranging TO send about 100 persons on the
outing. There will be meeting at the
headquarters. West Maryland street Sat-
urday afternoon for the purpose of working

SENT TO THE GOVERNOR.
A Handsome Present from j. s. Gull
yer, of Springfield, liz.

Governor Mount received a handsome
present yesterday from Mr. j. S. Culver.
of Springfield ILL.,, who made the generous
offer recently to erect a suitable monu-
ment over the grave of Abraham Lincoln's
mother free Of charge. The design of the
new monument has now been completed,
and Mr.. Culver had a beautiful pen and
ink sketch of it made and inclosed in an
appropriate frame to be presented to Gov
ernor Mount as token of friendship and
in testimony of the Governors disnter-
ested efforts toward providing the mother
of the martyred President with a fitting
memorial. The Governor said last night
that Mr.. Culver will ship the stone for
the monument to Spencer county about
the last of this month, and that early in
October the finishing touches will be made
on the work. The large block of granite
which will form the 'capstone" of the
monument is now being prepared in an
Eastern city.
1T is the intention to have the entire
sixteen acres of ground surrounding Mrs
Lincoln'S grave decided to the Nancy Hanks
Lincoln Memorial Association" said the
Governor. 1T will be easy enough to Sc
cure a clear title from the County Com
missioners to all of the land except one
half acre Immediately around the grave.
That piece of ground was originally deed
ed by Shillito & Co., of Cincinnati, to the
County Commissioners forever. and hence
somewhat tedious and complicated legal
procedure will be made necessary in order
to vest its title in the association. When,
however, the association secures a clear
title to the entire tract of sixteen acres
which it undoubtedly will. steps will be
taken at once to improve and beautify the
place. There is now in the hands of Col
Il. A. Smith, treasurer of the association,
the sum of S1.l00, TO be used for this pur-
pose. Representative James A. Hemen-
way was the donor of 500 of this amount,
and the rest is in the form of check for
81, 900 from a person who has obligated the
association not to divulge his name.

Plans of the Musicians.

The local musicians union has taken
measures to exclude amateur musicians
from rehearsing with professional orches-
tras. The action will more seriously af-
feet the larger orchestras, such as the
indianapolis SYMPHONY Orchestra and the
German House Orchestra, although smaller
ones will come under the new ruling 1t
was decided that 81 would be charged for
each rehearsal and 81 for each engagement
Amateurs have been playing with profess
sional orchestras for the experience, receiv-
union has decided to stop the practice
When these amateurs pass a required ex-
animation before a board composed of
members of the union they will be adj
mitted as musicians, entitled to union pay
The action is not directed against any
particular orchestra, but will be general in
effect, although it takes out a number who
have been playing in the Symphony and
German House orchestras.

Joseph Newbergcr, of Matthews,
Leaves the Democratic Party.
Joseph Newberger, brother of Attorney
Louis Newberger, of this city. and prom
inent general merchant of Matthews, Ind,
has been staying at the Denison Hotel for
a few days. Mr.. Newberger was for thirty
years Democrat, but recently announced
that he proposed to support Mckinley and
Roosevelt. On Saturday night Mr.. New
berger made speech in this city before
the Commercial Travellers Republican club.
He says the Bryan platform is too much
for him. He stood il in 1896 and voted for
Bryan, but he was not an enthusiastic sup
porter of the Democratic party then. Since
that election he has had time to analyze
the platform closely and he feels that he
cannot stand on it, Bryan's 16-to-1 hobby
is one of the chief things that drove Mr..
Newberger out of the party, and besides,
he takes no stock i'm the Democratic howl
of imperialism" He says he is in thor
ough accord with the administrators Phil
ippine policy and he proposes TO do all he
can toward the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt. Mr.. Newberger was postmaster
of his town under President Cleveland.
The place was then known as New Cum
berland.
