Ikview of the slum assaults onGov. Cteve-laud. a New York journal says; "Mr.Blameprobably does not want his personality putforward prominently." Itis an unhappiuesshe would escape.
Gambling inTennesee, by a decision ofthe Supreme Court of that state is held to bea felony. Tho constitutionality of a recentenactment of the legislature declaring thekeeping of gambling dens a felony, has beentested and its constitutionality affirmed, anda violator of the law sentenced to the peni-tentiary forone year.
The Cincinnati JS/iquirer .makes a centershot iv the following: .
This presidential campaign is uncommonly
marked in the matter of enterprise. Republicancontemporaries are resurrecting the names of afew old string-halt Damocrats who (loppedseveral years ai^o,and who have been recordedas Hoppers annually ever since, and announciugthem as recent converts to the Blame and Loguncolumn.
T«!3 is the wayRepublican political an-nouncements are made from New Jersey:"William Walter Phelps is very rich andwants to come back to congress. Daniel
Drake Smith lives in the same district, isalso very rich and wants to come to congresstoo. The business men of northern NewJersey are anticipating an easy money mar-ket for several mouths." Go it, Willie!Goit, Danney!
The Philadelphia Time*takes the view thntthe sensational social scandal against Gover-nor Cleveland seems to be bringing Cleve-land substantial fruits. Itappeared on Sun-day a week ago, and on the Monday follow-ing P»ev. Dr. Dandsberg and Dr. A. 11.Strong, President of the Rochester Theologi-cal Seminary, and sixty-two other promiuentRepublicans of Rochester met and signed anaddress against the election of Blame and in
favor of Cleveland.
Tun moss-backed comptroller of the treas-ury say 3Blame will be elected. The oldchap's name is Lawrence, and he is fromOhio. Last year he was around drinkingSchnapps and telling the dudes that the Re-publicans would carry Ohio. It turned outthat the state went "agin" the "grand oldparty," some twelve thousand strong. "OldBill," as his friends cull him, still swizzlesaway, and whoups'er up for Blame.
Tin: Boston A'.lver'J.xer has been looking
over the field and is inclined to the opinionthat the "aggressive campaign" is a gooddeal behind time in beginning to begin.But it sees a liou in the way. Itfinds that"the trouble is that the tariff question afterall did not help toward such a campaign, be-cause issue was not joined there; aud whenyou come to the real issue, Mr.Blame himself,his campaign threatens to be uupleasautlydefensive after all."
Tin: uninitiated do not well understandthe catch terms of stock gamblers
—the tech-
nical Hugo of "put-;," "calls,"' "options,."and the like. They are defined by one whoknows a» follows: "Puts" means that aman has put ud all the money he can beg,borrow or steal. "Calls" is the demand ofthe "gentlemen" thieves who style them-selves brokers, for more money. "Options''is wh.it is left lor the poor victim. He hastiie option of guing to the almshuLse or blow-ing liia bead off* •
WiTinv a siiort time two church treasurersin Philadelphia have proved defaulters.( urionsly enough the churches refuse to pros-ecute the defaulters for Efiemisappropriation,orrather stealing Of toe chnrch funds, as-
that the church can gain nothing byprosecuting tbctAi This is strange logicI!it does not tiiuk ;it crime it condonesori'minality and otters a premium for rascali-lv. These I.poeritieal defaulters do greatrfamage to the church and it can only Vindi-cate its purity jy their stern punishment.
A Wasiiini/ion* correspondent says thatPresident Arthur "dot's not look forward withmuch ;iY:imiivtobecoming once more v merelawyer i;i New York with a comfortable in-come." Chit. Jins the Qonceit that he is agreat man, whin th6fact is be has only beenin s great place,, put there by the accident ofassassination. He might to have the goodsense to appreciate that, being a "merelawyer" with a "comfortable Income" is atolerable fnt--. and quite as much as he laentitled to at tbe hands of the public.

And now though lastnot least in, illustra-ting this peculiarity we have Roscoe Conklingto swell the list of the illustrious sharing inplebian pastimes as if to escape from the too'whelming contemplation of personal emi-nence.
Perhaps in no other am jsement could this"resigned" politician find so many remind-ers of the siiniiies and stereotyped expres-sions, in constant use during his publiccareer as the following skit from the Brook-lynEagle willprove :
Loungers on Harlem bridge those pleasantsummer afternoons often pause to admire thestalwart stroke of a gray haired oarsman whodrives a single shell through the water with thegrace and vigor of a youthful- athlete. A pic-turesque boating suit displays to great advan-taga his noble physical proportions, while ablack skull cap envelopes the crown of a head soclassic Inits outlines that a marble model of itwould be worthyot a place among the busts ofg)(ismid heroes tbat adorn the Gallery of Sculp-ture in the Vatican, The face is bronzed fromexposure and the curl that rebelliously eludesthe close pressure of the enp falls over a brownssmooth and unwrinkled as that of a boy. Thepassage of his shell beneath the bridge alwaysarrests the procession of pedestrians, rend some-times their admiration is attested by a shout ofapplause as the trail little boat darts with thespeed of an arrow along the surface of the muddystream. This gray haired oarsman was ouce oneof the potentates of the hind. He is the manwho made James A. Garfield president
—Roscoe
Conkling.
The "stalwart stroke" is there—
it alwayswas and always willbe in everything Koscoedoes. Xo "line Italian hand" forhim.
Of course "admiration is attested by ashout of applause," from spectators on thebridge as the boat skims with surpassingswiftness along the surface of the "muddystream." Roseoe was a tolerably sure oars-man erewhile in the "muddy stream of poli-tics," and perhaps the memory of those"stalwart strokes" impels his restless energynow to have an oar in lest his masterly in-activity should become more than a whimsi-cal assumption.
For the rest, if Roscoc Conkling can becharged with making James A. Garfipld
President, itcan be much more agrossivelysaid that he connived at Ruthcr- fraud B.
B. Hayes for the same office, by failing tospeak and vote against the Electoral Commis-sion in the case of the disputed vote of Louis-iana, as it has been asserted he pledgedhimself to do.Itdoes not make very much difference to
the world now, but italways willmake a dif-ference in the estimate of Coukling, whoseunscrupulous paitfsanship impelled him tobe the silent accessory to the most stupen-dous fraud the world has known.
VSCLE.IX LIVI.SO.Then: are some thinkers who aileet to be-
lieve that all charitable effort is a mistake,
and an obstacle in the processes of benevo-lent nature. This class claims that it Is the
intent of nature that only tbe fittest shallsurvive and hence it is antagonistic to herefforts to care for the sickly, the Intemperate,and others who are weakened from tbeir ownacts or from other causes. The meaning ofthis is that the constant tendency of thingsis to eliminate, the feeble, aud preserve only
the strong for the prepetuatiou ofits kind.iIfthis theory were to be,carried into practi-
cal effect, the world would abandon all char-itable organizations, it'would cease to re-lieve the starving, it would provide nopines or nurses for the sick, it would en-courage the intemperate to continue in theirown extinction. In this' way it is thoughtthat, in time, all the ailing, dissipated, weak-,
ly elements of society would be eliminated,aud then men would be left with a domi-nance of the robust, the strong, the healthy.
This theory seems very brutal at first sight,and the man who wouldhave the temerity toopenly and sincerely advocate it would bevery likely to find himself regarded as amon-ster . In our present social and moral con-dition, and with respect to the humaneteachings of modern times, we should belikely to regard as abominable and intolera-ble any such sentiments, but, as amatter of
fact, is not the average community actuallyan exponent of this atrocious doctrine} Acase of supposed yellow fever has just oc-curred in New Orleans, and at once thecountry learns that the city is In a most filthycondition, that the open gutters of the streets
are tilled withstagnant water, covered withigreen scum, foul smelling, and nauseatingin the extreme. Last year, when the cholerabroke out in Damietta, the world was in-formed, thai the river alongside of the citywas filled with the putrefying carcases of an-
•iinals, and that the air and the water of theplace were simply deadly poisons. •
The present, season, when the cholerabroke out In Toulon, and later in Marseilles,it was at once published that both of thesecities have low-lying portions which were un-clean, cared for, with malarious exhalta-tions. and dense populations to whom freshair, cleanliness, good water, nud untaintedfood were uiikno-.ni. In Chicago, NewYork, and in other large cities, the an-'nouncement of the existence of a filthepi-
demic .in Europe, which i3likely to reachthin»Me. has elicited auniversal howl "Cleanthe city." And then there are accounts oflocalities, iii each of the respective places,which arc sink-hole?, cess-pools epidemicbreeder*, and all that. Now, what is allthis save an .unconscious, but most vigor-ous attempt to assist the carrying out of thetheory that only the strong shall survive?These communities permit sanitation to beneglected, tilth to accumulate until choleraand yel''»v fever arc at hand, and then when
it is too late, the work of cfeaning up iscommenced. It is too Lite for the reasonthat during all the years when the commu-nities have liecn subject to the influence of
this uucleanincss, they have become weak-ened, poisoned, and- are now un-abie to withstand the assaults of a malignantepidemic.
Ia not this complicity with murder, com-piitity with that belief which is willingthatthe weak should die to make room for thestruu'gi Itmay be unconscious complicity,but it i# none the less deadly inIts conse-quence*. Iti? the act ,of one who for yearsoccupies himself in the gathering and storingof comVujtibks, and who when a great fireapproaches undertakes to keep itaway fromhis premises' by obstacle* to its progress. Heha* no right to accumulate in a great citysuch tlan'cerous -: material. He may be un-cfln«dous tii.it.he is a fool, and a madman,

covered this fact, and now the conundrumis put to Jolyi Alexander, how it is thatMormomism has grown to its present por-tions during Republican administrations.Aud while he has his hands in the AlbanyTimes thinks he willbe able to "disprovethe general statement of history that theonly war ever undertaken by tbe governmen,against the Mormon "iniquity" was underthe staunch Democratic president, FranklinPierce. When Gen. Lo^an mukes a state-ment against the Democracy he has thefncts to back him up, or what serves just aswell, dosn't care a continental whether hehas or not. It remains that Gen.

In1852, whon Franklin Pierce was nominatedfor the presidency, a private letter written fromConcord conveyed the information that Mr.Pierce was so overcome by the news of his nomi-nation that, on the night of its receipt, he wascarried up to his bed on the shoulders ot twostalwart men. This letter was shown to a prom-inent Whig politician
—there were no Republi-
cans then, and as things look now there will bevery few of them next year—who said: "Areyon exhibiting this letter generally?" "lam,"said the letter bearer; "Ithink it best that thepuuuc suoum Know wnat sort or a man iTnuKlin

A Philadelphia paper has found a curioussign displayed in front of a costomer's shop onNorth Ninthstreet. Itreads: "Funeral OutfitsFurnished." "Yes," said the proprietor, calm-ly,"that is a|jew feature of our business. Foryears we've been furnishing swallow-tail coatsand white dresses for weddings, ami Isee no rea-son why we should not furnish black goods forfunerals, \u25a0fief is only temporary, anyhow, audit's expensive, if the mourners are compelled tobuy their outfits. It's strun^e how people catchon to a new idea. At first we didn't have morethan one call for mourners' outfits iv a month,but now we rent out two or three a week. It'sagrowing indnstry just like renting dress suitswas. Ihave a good deal of money invested infuneral outfits, and though this year Imay beonly able to come out square. Iexpect next yearto have the business on a solid paying basis."

Authorities in many cases differ with Dr.Koch as to the nature of the cholera inFrance.They insist that the disease may be sporadic andlocal despite the presence of a bacillus similar to

JAILED IN ST. PAUL
Cantieny, the Murderer ofPolice-man Robert Laughlin.
WildRumors of Mob Organization inMinneapolis,
To Come to St. Paul and Lynch the MurdererHere.
A small speck of war made its appeancein the city yesterday afternoon, and fora shorttime there was a hastening to and fro amongthe military of St. Paul. Fortunately, how-ever, everything calmed down aud no goreflowed. The excitement was all caused bythe fact that about 5o'clock in the afternoonSheriff Stoddard, of Heuncpin county andChief of Police West of Minne-
|apolls arrived in St. Paul withthe prisoner Canticny, who shot thepoliceman up there last Friday. Itwas notgenerally known about town that the pris-oner was here, even up to late in the even-ing. The bringing of him here was man-aged very quietly and secretly. He arrivedat the jailat 5 o'clock in the afternoon, andwas placed in a cell without any more flurrythan was absolutely necessary. In abouttwohours and ahalf a dispatch was receivedfrom Minneapolis stating that there was anintense excitement up there concerning theprisoner, and there were fears of mobviolence being resorted to. The dispateliclosed by v request that the military in St.Paul should he in readiness so that ifneces-sary their services could be depended upon.Capt. Bean and other officers accordinglysent word around as rapidly as possible forthe. men to assemble at Armory hall, and ina short time they had a hundred and fiftymen ou duty, who remained at thearmory till 11 o'clock, whenmost of them were released andwent home. There were wild rumors allabout our streets inregard to an immensemob in .Minneapolis, that was bent on get-ting possession of Cantieny and stringinghim up. Itwas also asserted that the mobwas coming down to St. Paul with a view togetting him here. The officers in St. Pauldid not place much reliance upon this part ofthe reports. It seemed to them that iftheriotors should start for this city therewould be ample time to preparefor them, and besides beforethe members of the mob had traveled theeight or ten miles lying between the twocities, that their ardor would have cooleddown a good deal, and in all probability theywould not be very ferocious when theyreached St. Paul. Inother words, they tookno stock inthe report that the mob wascoming down, and no special efforts weremade by the sheriff to protect the jailor theprisoners. The police authorities were noii-fiedbut all that they could do was to keepthemselves in readiness to respond in casethey were needed. At2 o'clock this morningeverything was quiet and orderly about thejail, and no gory law breakers could be seen.
AMUSEMENTS.
Oj&jiine;Night ofthe Wallack TheaterCompany.
The engagement of the AVallack Theatercoinpan jr opened at the Grand Opera house
.last night in Robert Buchanan's domestic\u25a0drama of "Lady Clare." Several versions,itis understood, of the same drama are be-ing performed by as many different com-panies, but as presented Inst night, the drama
.was originally performed by the Wallackcompany in New York, the cast being mate-rially the same. The story of the play wasfurnished the readers of the Globe last Sun-day, and it may be said imprimis that theversion now being performed in this city isby all odds the most entertaining auU supe-riorrepresentation.Itwas the inaugural night of the Wallack
engagement in St. Paul, and while the audi-ence was quite large and appreciative to theVerge of enthusiasm, there was observed anotable absence of many 'of the constanthabitutcs and amusement patrons of thehouse. The fact that the season is at itsheight at the lakes may have partially ac-counted for this, and as good things shouldnever no a begging, especially in the dra-matic line, the attendance willno doubt in-crease to the limit of managerial expectation,which indeed the play is well worthy of.
"Lady Clare" has been universally com-mended as a charming drama by the easternp-. s< and public, and the phrase is not amisnomer. Itrounds out the mdlsure ofanticipation both as to the plot and the iiu-ished manner of its presentation. There isa subdued hnrmony about the play, a free-dom from rant, an artistic symmetry, ful-filment of details and beauty of arrange-ment that go to make up the complete artis-ticimpersonation.Opinions may differ as to the style an actoror artist assumes in expressing a thought ordelineating an action, passion or sentiment.Sometimes the power is conveyed in a ges-ture, or a loud or finely modulated tone;sometimes it is conveyed by the glance ofthe eye or the curve of the llps, but perfectacting comes only with the blending of allthese into repose. The works of nature arealleasy, pnrndoxlcal as itmay seem, and thethunderbolt falls ac easily from the frowningface of Jove as falls the snowflake or thedewdrop.
The acting of Oscar Teazle, as John Miil-dleton. is easy, graceful and marked by
dramatic force and fervor. The role ofLady Clare by Mrs. Eyre is a difficult one toenact. The force required is powerful butsubdued and intense. Her impersonationwa? finished ar.d pleasing. Her voice is notalways impassioned but this may come fromthe stony requirements «f the part. Herface also, itseema, in tooWjuud at times, toacutely depict the poignant panga of anguishand sorrow. But in watching her one losesthese first impressions and the quiet facelights up and the tones quiver with passion.Tbe delightfully refreshing roles aretiken tiv Mr. Buckstone ami Adela Mearor.n<->fhnrp invenilenart.a and they arc taken
with an archness and naivetle that alwayscaptivates. Mr. Gienny, as the degeneratenobleman and roue was clever and the roles
'taken by Gleason, (Jwynette, Germon andEdwin were all wellenacted. Mrs. Sol Smithwas splendid as the countess, and MelissaSmall, who ruins Lord Ambermere with hermoney and then gloate over the discomfitureofLady Clare, by Miss Livingston, ib superblydone.
"In short the cast is finished and
fine throughout.There were several re-calls laslP evening,
and the audience manifested their pleasureby bestowing liberal applause.*In this version the duel scene is really en-
acted, and the juncture where Lady Clarerushes in and receives the shot intended forher estranged husband, ib very affecting.

THE GARDEN SASS DECISION.
Judsre Dickinson Pronounces AgainstMarket Hours and License Grants
to Sell Farm Produce.Several correspondents have written the
Globe asking it to explain the positionwhich the late decision of the supreme courtin the sase of Farnsworth left the St. Paulmarket ordinance.
Farnsworth was found guiity by the mu-nicipal court of selling farm produce at an-other place except at the market without alicense. The supreme court reversed thedecision of the municipal court, stating thatthere was no authority vested in the criminalcourt to convict Farnsworth. This decidesthe question of a grocer's being compelled totake out a license to sell farm produce anywhere in the city as illegal, and those whohave done so are entitled to have their moneyrefunded ifthey demand it.
The supreme court says that under itsrights in regard to establishing a marketand market hours, the city council hasneither, as the legislative act stands on' thestatute books, a right to restrain trade withinwhat is called market hours, or to imposelicense on parties for selling farnj producewithout a license. It says the occupation(of sellingfarmer's produce) "is lawful forany one untilby ordinance, having the forceof statute law, and containing ever}"provi-sion necessary to define the prohibition ofit, is made unlawful."
The supreme court further adds: "Themere act of selling farm produce without alicense at a place within the city other thanthe public market, acd without regard to thetime of making such rule, cannot be madecriminal Dy any ordinance founded on thelegislative act now on the statute book."
The supreme court further adds that "thereis no natural period of timo known as markethours, and itneither appears that any suchperiod has been in any manner establishedordesign ated."
The case stands about in this way. By therights given the citycouncil by the legisla-ture to establish amarket, etc.. they have noright to fix market hours for any class of in-dividuals in the city and they cannot exactlicenses from any one choosing to deal infarm produce in store or on the street. Thecourt further seems to intimate that thelegislature cannot pass a constitutional actby which a city council can confine theselling of farm produce in any locality orhours, and much less exact a license- of adealer for selling such.
The grocers paying license were first re-stricted, under ordinance, from buying fromthe farmers at the market house until after12 noon;they kicked and the hour wasplaced at 10 a. m.; they kicked again andhave bought farm produce like other folkssince, still being held by ihe council to takeout a §25 license for re-selling those "greengroceries" to their customers. The upshotof itIs, the matter of the hours of purchasehaving been dropped, the higher court haskicked the license prop out, and exerybodyin the citycan "go as they please" iv regardto buying or selling "garden sass."

The Plat Commission Tricked— City Attor-ney's Statement.
The followingcommunication from thesecretary of the plat commission with regardto the dedication of a park forming apart ofmortgaged property, together, with the opin-ion of the city attorney, will be read withinterest:
On the 9th inst. the following note wasaddressed to to the city attorney.
Hon. W.P. Murray, Dear Sir: lam in-structed by the plat commission to call yourattention to the following: "On the f)th dayof October, 1833, the plat of Rogers and Hen-dricks' acre lots was examined, and by saidcommission, on said pint a park was dedi-cated to the public. Recently the plat, com-mission has been informed that at the timeof the presentation and approval ofsaid • plat there was a mortgageexisting on said park, which has since beenforeclosed and sold. This was a deceptionon the Plat Commission and a fraud on thepublic. Your advice in the premises is there-fore respectfully requested in the public in-terests in this case, and the prevention inthe future ofsimilar frauds.
Yours respectfully, J.\s. Starket,Secretary Ramsey Co. Plat Com."
Inresponse to which City Attorney Murraysent In the following to thePlat Commission :
. Office of City Attorney, • )St. PAD!,, Minn.,May 24, 1884. \
Gentlemen of the Plat Commission:Inreply to your communication of the 9th

Upon investigation Ifind that Josias N.Roarers and wife, and William Ilendricks andwife,upon the same day they presented thsplat of "Rogers &Ilendricks'
"addition of
acre lots to the plat commission for its ap-proval, viz: Oct. 1, IS.So, they executed amortgage to Jabez N. Rogers, the father ofJosias N. Rogers, upon the follow-ing described real estate: Commenc-ing at a point 33 ft. south, and 33ft. east of the west corner of the east % ofthe southeast %, section 23, town 29, range23. The same parallel with the west line ofsaid east % of southeast }{,section 23, 476.7feet. Thence east parallel with south line ofsaid east % of southeast 3^, section 23,286.20 feet, Thence north parallel with castline of said east % of southeast J^, section23, 476.56 feet, to a point 33 feet southof the north line of said east }4 ofsouth' east % section 23; thence west 257-45feet to beginning; being the description ofthe land contained in the park they proposedto dedicate, to secure the payment of threethousand '($3,000) dollars, due In threemonths, with eight per. cent, inter-est. And that on the sixth
'day
of October, 1883, the same day theplat commissioner approved of the plat, thesnid mortgage was placed on record; andthat afterwards, to-wit, on the 24th day ofJanuary, 1884, less than a month after thematurity of the note, foreclosure proceedingswere commenced, to foreclose said mortgage,and that said park was sold on the 15th dayos March, 1884, to satisfy the same, for thesum of $3,180.Itis evident from the foregoing facts that
the execution of the mortgage was part ofa scheme to divest the city of its title to thepark. Respectfully,
W. P. MI'ERLY,City Attorney.
The Harrison Family.Mrs. Maggie Morse, formerly the propriet-
ress ofa house of ill-fame in this city, and atpresent the wife of Constable Marion Harri-son, came into the city hall last eveningstating that this amiable husband had throwna pailof water upon her, abused and threat-ened her, and that she could not stand hisilltreatment any longer. She did not lodgea complaint, but asked the officers to protecther, and finally went to the house of a neigh-bor to stay all night, not daring to go home.Itwould seem that after a few more circusesof this kind on the part of a public official,having legal commissions to execute, that itwould be for the good name of the city tohave him relegated back to the ranks of pri-vate citizenship, ifnothing more.

Chicago. July 38.—William A. A. Carrey,president of an Independent labor party;B> M. Abell, secretary ofthe same; jjo. J.Kavanaugh, president of the Engineers'union; John A. Thompson, president of th'j
Car Drivers' union ;and W. J. Wolf, of thaNational Anti-monoply league, arrived tin*morning at the Briggs' Bouse. They are theadvance guard of the National Labor con-vention which will meet next Wednesday.This convention, they say, is not gotten upfor political purposes, a9was intimated bythe representatives of certain labor a.--, m-
blies who regarded with distrust becausethey did not know its object. It wiii
thought thaiitwas intended to boom eitherprotection or Ben. Butler.
"The motto of the anti-monopoly leaEjue,"said Mr. Wolf, "is the principal of this con-vention. That motto is: 'Labor and Capi-tal
—Allies, not Enemies; Justice for both.'
"The coming convention was called by alabor conference held in Philadelphia, Jan-uary 6. This conference was composed ofrepresentatives from the various trades as-semblies in the United Mat it- object isneither political nor partisan. Itis for thoamelioration of the laboring men, and iscalled to devise meats for tbe betterzation oflabor tocompel legislation favora-ble topur interests. We have no presiden-tial candidate. Recognizing that a presidentis merely an executive officer, we preferto ask fur redress not from the pres dentbut from congress and the legislature. Asthese bodies have their origin in politics weare to that extent political. By organizationwe expect to secure ..ne congressman inNew York and several assemblymen.' 1
"Willthe convention endorse Butler oreither ofthe regular candidates!"
'•It has never "been the policy of the anti-monopoly league to Indorse any particularcandidate when both tbe great parties haveembodied what are said in their platforms*The Democrats aad Republicans have donethis, and an effort willbe tohave the conven-tion reaffirm the principles only, and leavethe exercise of suffrage to the individualopiuon of the delegate: . Ifall the delegatesexpected attend, there will be upward of athousand. But itis doubtful whether theywillall attend.
"Are the working men repress oted byconvention us much opposed to Cleve-
land as has beeu alleged?""Ithink the opposition to Cleveland bj
the working men has been greatlj <\u25a0\u25a0
ated. Mr. Cleveland was obliged to veto tht5c fare bill because it was unconstitutional.Ihelped to draft that bill. ItWent througlthe house us we prepared it. When iireached the senate it was tampered with,and when it finallypassed .Mr. Clevelandcould do nothing else than veto it. Ifithad finally passed aa it. passed the housi itwould not have been unconstitutional and itwould not have been vetoed. It is onlyblind bigots who blame Cleveland for theact. Ha .simply did his duty. Ifhe hadwished to be popular be had the opportunityto at the risk though of not doinghis duty."
The call for the convention is as follows:Allwbrkingmen who arc in favor of the
protection of American tabor from the unfairand unjust competition of foreign and con-vict labor, the revival of American shipbuilding, the preservation of our publiclands as homesteads for our children, theregulation of monopolies by wise and prudentlegislation without injury to vested right!and privileges, the establishment of anational labor bureau, the union of capitaland labor by mutual aid and concessionsthrough boards of arbitration and laws toencourage co-operation and the Improvementof the condition of the working classesand all other citizens who believe thai inoruland industrial education for our children,

THE COLORADO POOL
Further Elucidation of the Agreementtobe Entered into Any. 1.
Special Telegram to the Globe.]Chicago, July 98. The anxiety regarding
the probable attitude of the tripartite con-nection of the Union Pacific toward the newColorado freight rate compact has now beenallayed, all lines between Chicago and St.Louis and the Missouri river, having signi-fied their purpose to heartily co-operate withthe Colorado lines in advancing ratesAug. 1. It. is reliably learned thatthe St. Louis & Sun Francisco, theAlton, the Burlington, the Rock Island, theNorthwestern, the St. Paul and the WalM-linave agreed to me advance anil win join
freely in the effort to maintain the new rates.This places western railway mutters in bettershape than at any time since the organisationof the Western Trunk Line association andthere is every prospect of a season of com'parative peace.
Having adjusted Colorado differences thenext step will be the settlement of Utahtroubles. A meeting or the roads in-terested in the Utah traffic association hatbeen called for August 7 to be held at toeGrand Pacific hotel. Itwill be rememberedthat the Santa Fe lias given notice of with-
drawal from the association which will ex-pire September 25, and this meeting hatbeen called to prevent, ifpossible, the dis-solution of the organization.
