WAGE-EARNERS IN LINE s LABOR-DAY OBSERVED FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN. Countless Thousands of Workingmen Pa-rade-Business Throughout the Country Generally Suspended—Features of the Celebration—Speakers of Prominence. America’s Sinews of Strength. Among the few American holidays, Labor Day has won a prominence deservedly and distinctively its own. Not only do the largest cities unite in its observance but smaller towns as well have caught the spirit, ana oy common consent the day is made a time when, undisturbed by any of the troubles that may have agitated their world, the toilers of the nation meet in grand rs* view, and not only their associates but their fellow men who stand in the relation of employers are given opportunity to more thoroughly appreciate that “In union there is strength. ” The workingmen, by consistent argument and persistent work, have gained, in nearly every State, legal recognition of the day; and by the moderation with which they participate in the celebration, they have dispelled all those forebodings of trouble with which the idea was first received. The shrewdness with which questions of public import are considered; the masterly system with which they unite to accomplish chosen aims; the cogency of reasoning in support of their positions when opposition is encountered; the justice which generally characterizes their action —all have tended to inspire a respect in the minds of employers, legislators and professional men vastly different from the indifference, patronage and condescension meted them but comparatively few years ago. Now, when Labor Day arrives, the participants march in review before men learned in letters and high in state councils and authority; they listen to addresses delivered by orators from Congress’ halls and America’s most famed pulpits; they present in solid rank an organization surpassing in strength that of which no other class is capable. And the men who witness them, those who address them, and those who employ them, feel respect, honor and elation that this organized host represents so much of the wealth, strength and intelligence of the nation, and that, unaided, it has achieved and maintains a position so creditable to itself and the country. In Chicago, probably, occurred the largest and most imposing demonstration of the day. Ten thousand men marched through the streets to the time of lively music, their columns gayly decked with flags and banners. Three times ten thousand of their fellow-work-men watched them from the walks, and countless thousands of other spectators joined the moving throng. For an hour and a half the procession could be seen from a given point. The reviewing stand was occupied by the chief officials of the city and many men prominent in public and professional life, many of whom, after the divisions had dispersed for their regular picnic outing, became speakers. At Milwaukee, Wis., the laboring men turned out 5,000 strong. Nearly all the principal manufacturing establishments were closed. The procession was one of the largest seen in Milwaukee for several years. . The carpenters made the largest showing of numbers, having nearly 1,500 men in line. At Indianapolis, Ind., work in the industrial establishments was suspended, and stores and offices were closed. A street parade by labor organizations with about 4,000 men in line was the feature, followed by a picnic, where addresses were delivered by Judge Howe, Morris Ross, and Rev. F. W. Dexter. The day was generally observed as a holiday in the principal manufacturing centers of the State. Harper, of Illinois, and J. A. Houser, of Indiana, were among the prominent speakers. The day was generally observed in Michigan towns. Grand Rapids stopped her' busy work, and sent thousands to Ottawa Beach. At Jackson the labor unions of Battle Creek joined in celebrating the day and sent a delegation several hundred strong. A. E. Cole, Robert G. Ogg, and Ralph Beaumont made addresses. At Muskegon not a wheel turned in any of the mills or factories, and after a fine parade in the morning, followed by speeches, a picnic was held at Lake Michigan Park, concluding with a pyrotechnical display in the evening. At Detroit, after the morning parade, a picnic with athletic games was held in the afternoon. Business was virtually suspended in the city, and the day passed away without a single disturbing incident At Buffalo, N. Y., Governor Hill arrived early, accompanied by Gen. McEwan and Col. Ruppert. He was met at the depot by the Citizens’ Reception Committee, which included Mayor Bishop. The Governor reviewed the parade and afterward delivered an address a t the Labor Day picnic. In other cities of the State the day was becomingly celebrated. In New York two parades—that of the Federation of Labor and the Central Labor Union—took place. Many women were in the ranks of marchers. In the afternoon Senator Peffer and others made addresses. At Troy there were a mammoth parade and picnic in the afternoon. Lieut. Gov. Jones reviewed the parade and made a speech. At Rochester there was an entire cessation of business and parades and picnics were the order of the day. At Utica every manufactory was closed and nearly all the stores. The labor unions paraded and made a fine display. At Albany all the labor unions joined in a joint parade and picnic in the afternoon. Business in San Francisco was partially suspended and 3,500 men were in the line of parade. Twenty thousand men paraded in St. Louis and spent the afternoon and evening in a picnic at Lindell Park. In Canada, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto observed the day as a holiday, and parades and picnics were general. The parade at Denver, Cola, had 12,000 men in line, and was reviewed by the Governor and Mayor. Business was suspended. After the parade at Cincinnati the various unions went to Wooddale Park, where Maj. McKinley and John Seitz made addresses. At St Paul most of the business houses were closed. After the morning parade the afternoon was devoted to picnics and games. At Cleveland business was suspended and after the morning parade athletic contests were held at Forest City Park in the afternoon. At Memphis, Tenn., the Farmers’ Alliance joined in the parade on horseback, each man carrying a wisp of hay or a cotton boll in his hat At Boston, Portland, Me., and Concord, N. H., a heavy storm marred the day and prevented the parades. The day was a general holiday. In Kansas City, Mo., the various unions paraded, but few of the business houses were closed. A ball at the Exposition Building wound up the day. / The parade at Minneapolis was the largest ever held. Mayor Winston and other speakers addressed the unions in the afternoon at Athletic Park. At Pittsburg the day was not observed except by the closing of the courts and banka Demonstrations were made at

After Fifteen Years. A few miles out of the city of Bankok there is a mineral spring, and near it a bungalow much frequented by the Europeans in the city. An Englisthman says that one evening as he rode up to this bungaiow, a gentleman was alighting from his howdah at the entrance. As soon as he had. dismounted, his elephant was moved to one side, and my driver, who was seated on‘the head of my ordered it to advance. The instant he spoke, the animal which had moved aside to make room for us flapped his great ears, and then turned sharply around, facing my driver. Suddenly, without the least warning, he stretched out his long trunk and wrapped it about the body of my man. Then, before any one had time to interfere, he raised him high in the air and brought him to the ground with tremendous force! As the poor fellow struck the earth we could hear his bones crack. But the elephant was not done with him. The next moment he had placed his huge foot on the head and chest of the prostrate driver. When he raised it again, all semblance of life was gone from the crushed, mutilated body. The gentleman whose elephant had committed the terrible deed was greatly distressed. Hep said that he had purchased the anitnal from the king’s pen, that it had always been exceedingly gentle and well-disposed. The animal was blind, one eye having been put out by an attendant fifteen years previous. It was my driver, I learned the next day, who had put out the elephant’s eye. He was at the time one of the guard s s at the king’s stock pen, and, for som&Qjfsdemeanor committed by the animal, had thrown a stone, which struck the creature full in the eye. The elephant was so enraged thereafter at the sight of him, that, fearing for his life, the man left the place. But the injured animal had hided his time, and after fifteen years of waiting had terribly punished his enemy. Quick Wit. One of Lord Carmarthen’s future constituents once asked the youthful candidate his opinion upon some abstruse question of which he knew nothing. “Let him alone!” cried another, derisively; “don’t you see he’s nothing but a baby?” “What do youthink?” reiterated his inquirer, heedless of the interruption and determined to have an answer. “I think,” said Lord Carmarthen, with ready wit, “that it is high time for all babies to be in bed;” and so saying he gathered up his papers and disappeared from the platform. Again —and this last anecdote is so well known as to have become welbnigh historical—at a crowded meeting just before his election, he was interrupted by the question: “Does your mother know you’re out?” “Yes, she does,” was the instant retort, “and by Tuesday night she will know I’m in.” His prophecy proved correct and he headed the poll by a large majority. The Queen Regent of the Netherlands and her daughter declined the offer of a public reception during their recent visit to Amsterdam. They requested the city officials to use the money collected for the reception in feeding the poor. Consequently more than 30,000 poverty-stricken creatures received presents of food and money, and 35,000 school-children were provided with a breakfast. Each child received, also, a photograph of the young Queen. The son of Gen. Isidro Urtecho, Commander-in-chief of the Nicaraguan army, is the only foreign cadet atWest Point.

1 — >— HOLD BACK THE WHEAT THAT’S WHAT THE FARMERS ARE COMMANDED TO DO. Another Attempt by the AUienee to Stop the Tremendous Flow of Grain to the Markets—At Least 51.50 and Probably •8 Fer Bushel Is Promised luster in the Season. _ Say Twin Be 51.50. The Farmers’ Alliance leaders in Minnesota and North and South Dakota have resolved upon another attempt to stop the tremendous flow of wheat to the markets. The receipts in Minneapolis and Duluth for the last week have run from 800 to 1,500 cars every day, and the price of December wheat has dropped to 90 X cents in Minneapolis. At this rate of sale and delivery the Alliance people assert that the 150,000,000 bushels of wheat in the No. 1 hard belt will be out of the farmers’ hands before Jan. 1. and their haste will drive the price back to 80 cents. The Alliance therefore began the mailing from its St Paul headquarters of a million of letters to the farmers calling a halt all along the line. The letter states the new Wheat Growers’ Association and the Alliance secretaries all over the country are unanimous tnat wheat is bound to sell as hig i as $1.50 and possibly S 2 per bushel, and they are unanimous in this warning to the farmers not to sacrifice their wheat and give the speculators all the profit there is in it. The letter says the crop is being greatly overestimated by the newspapers and grain dealers, and continues: “We do not believe a majority of the farmers are foolish enough to co-operate with the speculators to depress prices further. There is no question but prices will take a turn upward. The shortage In Europe can now be figured with accuracy. About a week ago a congress of grain-dealers from all parts of Europe met at Vienna, Austria, and computed figures about the crops in Europa These figures are the, highest which well-informed reputable men could furnish, for, if in a famine year like this they should give for the crop of any one country lower figures than circumstances justified, the government of that country would certainly remonstrate. It is surely the policy of not to exaggerate their disaster. The figures of the Vienna Congress show that Europe raised 258,000,000 bushels of wheat and 490,000,000 bushels of rye less than last year. Last year it consumed all of its own wheat crop and at least 50,000,1.00 of reserves, 100,00 ,- 000 bushels imported from America, all that other countries could supply, and all its rye crop. This year it will have from America 12 ,GOO,tOO bushels more than last, if we take the extreme figures which any reputable authority has made for our really splendid crop. “It Will have as usual what other countries supply, which is insignificant, but it will have 748,000,000 bushels less of its own crop and 50,000,000 bushels less to draw from reserves. In short, it will have 120.000,009 bushels extra from America to make up a deficiency of 798,0 'O,OOO, and must consequently eat. 678,000,000 bushels less grain. “Rye being dearer in Europe than wheat, the latter becomes a substitute, and is equally affected by deficiency in rye or wheat supply. When it is entirely certain that Europeans will have to economize in bread to the extent of 678,000,000 bushels, and when the situation is aggravated by .the partial failure of the potato crop, it is to be considered what prices they would pay for American wheat. The shortage being four times as large as the American surplus, there is no doubt that the price of wheat will reach the highest figure ever known before this year is up and will exceed it by far before the new crops come in. “Wheat will soon be over $1.50, no matter how much farmers and speculators work together to keep prices down, and we would advise those who can comprehend the situation to hold their wheat for $1.50 and ad 1 for every month they keep it say five cents to the price Hold your wheat. You cannot get left.” • » ■ '■ J. ■ ■ . ■ INDICATIONS OF A BIG WAR. Russia May Cause a Struggle in Which AU Europe WIU Participate. The Foreign Office here, says a London cablegram, is kept in a state of uneasiness over the projects ascribed to Russia Involving the opening of the Dardanelles and the seizure of Constantinople. These intentions may exist only in the imagination of certain correspondents, but there is information in the Foreign Office sufficient to justify the belief that Russia is about to start on a new and Important line of policy. The contingencies in question have not been sprung upon unawares. They were foreseen when the German Emperor was here. Beyond doubt they entered into subjects discussed during his visit to the Queen at Windsor and to Lord Salisbury at Hatfield House. They were considered on all sides, and the tone of the German press at this moment shows the impression which was made. The most important journals point out that an attack by Russia upon Constantinople, or a hostile movement against England in Egypt, would not affect England alone, but would concern all Europe. England could not be left to deal with the difficulty single-handed. That Is surely important notification to all whom it may concern. Russia is rapidly increasing its fleet and is trying to get its finances straight, and it means to have gentral mobilization of all its forces. The Black Sea clause of the treaty of Paris will have to be abrogated. There need be no war about that Russia by a little tact might easily accomplish this object, even before the meeting of Parliament, but if it means to pounce down upon Constantinople it would be a different affair. Then a. great war would be inevitable, and breadstuffs, which you have to sell in the United States, would be worth anything you chose to ask for them. That is one reason why accumulating complications in European politics are of great' importance to the American people. THINKS THE END IS AT HAND. Dr. Jenekes Warns People to Prepare for the Millennium. The Rev. Dr. Jenckes, rector of St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of the most distinguished, conservative, and levelheaded divines in Indianapolis, Ind., has created a sensation by announcing that the end of the world is close at hand. Dr. Jenckes gave up a lucrative law practice In 1864 at Louisville and entered the Christian ministry, under a very strong conviction that the end of this age and the inauguration of the reign for a thousand years of the Savior would occur within about 185 years. For several years this was the central fact of his preaching. > But circumstances tended some years since to check his ardor of conviction, and he found himself drifting toward a looseness of views respecting this important subject He has recently had a thorough awakening through the influence of a discovery and a publication. The discovery was that an error in the accepted system of chronology has been lately found which had made the time of the judges, as governors of Israel, 850 instead of 450 years. This correction, together with the twenty-seven years that have elapsed since 1804, brings this most i astounding crisis within less than tan 1 years of the present time.

■ Bejerms Under Alexander XL The reaction which has set in since the withdrawal of the restrictions imposed by Nicholas was complete. Not only was the censorship no longer exercised with anything approaching rigor—a negative change which had the effect of calling into existence journals innumerable, nearly all of an extreme liberal tendency —hut police supervision was now so inadequately performed that secret printing-presses, all used for revolutionary purposes, could be established in the very heart of St. Petersburg. It was in 1861 and 1862 that the first numbers of the revolutionary print called “Land and Liberty,” and of another called “Great Russia,” were produced and circulated from hand to hand, and that revolutionary proclamations were for the first time printed and posted up at night on the walls of the public buildings. The prohibition enforced by the censorship of Nicholas* time against all foreign books of a political and philosophical character had been removed with such success that volumes which no one out of Russia would consider dangerous, but which had really the effect of exciting and inflaming the inexperienced Russian mind, were introduced in large quantities. Buckle and Mill were much read in Russian translations. "Mill on Liberty” appeared in two versions, one of which was enriched by notes from the translator, who pointed out that Mill’s notions on the subject of freedom were meager aud not sufficiently advanced. • * * The first half-dozen years of the reign of the Emperor Alexander formed a period less of reform than of relief. It was not until February, 1861, that, after a long and painful process of elaboration, the reform known officially as the “law for the amelioration of the condition of the peasantry”—in other words, the emancipation of the serfs—was proclaimed. Meantime the precise constitution of the contemplated district and provincial assemblies for the management and regulation of local interests had not yet been decided upon, while the institution of open tribunals, with oral evidence and the jury system, existed only ,as a project fully entertained. But the newspaper press had already been placed in quite a new position, and the censorship was exercised with a very light hand, both in regard to publications issued in Russia and to those introduced from abroad. The universities, too, had been thrown open to all who could or could not afford a few shillings a term in the shape of fees; for a fund had been established by the richer students, aided by the professors, to which persons unconnected with the universities were allowed,and even encouraged to contribute, in the interest of those for whom the almost nominal charges made by the university authorities were nevertheless too high. Exhibitions and scholarships were founded for their benefit ; and the actors, actresses, singers and musicians of the capital were expected, and indeed required, to give entertainments in aid of the poor students’ fund, which it became so much the fashion to support that, the poor student seemed at one time on the , point of himself becoming fashionable. —H. Sutherland Edwards, in Harper’s Magazine. English Comment on Oar Poor-Houses. Pauperism and the United States are ideas which it is difficult for the mind to associate; nevertheless the census returns show us that pauperism is there not wholly unknown. Some of the American paujfers are supported by contract with private persons who receive them on their farms or places of residence. Others are maintained in public almshouses, and of this class of poor there are now 73,045, which Is less, however. by some 5,000 than the figures of 1880, when the population was little over fifty millions. Os this number the negroes and mulattos count for 6,418, the Indians foi 36 and the Chinese for 13. It is amusing to note the reluctance in America to call these institutions “almshouses” —our term “workhouses” is, of course, ..unknown. In Arizona, says Mr. Howard Wines, in California, Colorado, and Nevada they are termed “hospitals;” in Ohio “infirmaries;” in Indiana, “asylums,” and in North Carolina the names of most almshouses were changed by a recent act of the Legislature to “homes for the aged and infirm.”—[London News. New Clearings in Frontier Settlements Often give birth to miasma, as one of the first fruits of an upturning of the soil. Malaria is a relentless foe to the newly arrived emigrant if he be unprepared to meet it by the use of a reliable preparative and preventive. It, therefore, behooves those seeking the far West in search of homes to provide themselves with a medicinal guaranty against chills and fever, bilious remittent, and ailments of kindred origin.

To check the evil of usury, the municipal councils of many small towns in Russia have established pawn houses, in which money is loaned at a very low rate of interest. It might be well to have similar establishments in many cities and towns in this country. It is hard to understand why it is right that the poor, who are invariably compelled to give ample collateral security on their modest loans, should be forced to pay the most exorbitant rates of interest How to Stop a Hiccough.

Some time ago a sunstroke so affected my nerves that at times they were beyond control; eyes were dull and without expression, and a twitching of the muscles of the face and almost continual movement of the hands and arms, especially the left aide. There was impediment oi speech, and at times would be so overcome with dizziness as to be unable to stand. Heard oi Pastor Koenig’s Nerve Tonic; tried one bottle, and noticed a great change; tried another, and now can say that I am enjoying perfect health, steady nerves and a good appetite, which I had lost entirely before using your medicine.
