Kiw Yoss, September 9. -The story of Xabor Day aa first celebrated in this city would be old and uninteresting were it riot that almost every paper in the city failed to cote some of ita meet remarkable features. 01 the general demonstration the papers gave tery fair accounts; if any tiling, they leaned to the aide of the Labor party ; But ed any of the really significant things were overlooked. The Labor party ia the only one ever introduced in this country without any sort of newspaper or party opposition. All the preliminary notices of the newspapers, whether of Democratic, Eepublican or Mugwump politics, were amiable and Ten flattering; bat it was doubt and fear, not conviction or priicipie, which spoke. All the journals seemed to distrust their own judgment of the possibilities of the parade, and were to all appearances fearful o! offending the new unknown quantity in politics. This is Strange to me. Every new party in the past has been met with the opposition of the journals of every then existing party. IThe Labor party of the pre39pt has been mentioned by all now existing; party journals, without exception, in either complimentary or cautious terms. Fear only could have dictated such a policy, and it is 'ear of an unknown quantity. The new holiday was a mo3t lovely September day ; neither too warm for marchine nor too cool for resting in the eveaing. Mature seemed to smile on the movement ; quite as unanimously a3 the politicians fcxd partisan newapaixrs. Yet there were ret more than 25,000 men in line in the two parades in New York and Brooklyn. In these totals are included some men not in sympathy with the political leadership Shich Mr. Henry George ha3 assumed. At ie same time a large proportion of the small force of Socialists refused to take part in the parade except as hooting lookers on. Practically thtre were only 33,000 active participants in the parade ia both cities; yet the enrolled membership of labor organizations (protective, not polit ical) in New York and-Brooklyn is beut 200,000. Did they stay away because they were Socialists baired out by the Henry George convention? Is it , credible that the remaining- 172 00-) remained at work on a legal holiday ? The Socialist demonstration Wu3 light, not only in the parade, but along the sidewalks. "Work was generally suspended, hence t'ae auen who are supposed it be ideotifisd With the Labor party did not decline to labor in the parade becansa they Wf re la borine elsewhere. Why they staid away nobody knows, and abont the same general and reliable information exists as to where they will stand and with whom they will vc te at the next election; and, until that is over, nobody ran surmise where they will be at the next Presidential election. Another curious feature which I observed, but which no newspaper noticed or commented on, was the presence on the street of thousands of countrymen from the near interior and from New Jersey. The hayseed evidences of their rural residence and education were too numerous to leave any doubt of the localities from which they came. They were fa'rly representative of the countrymen of the New Jersey and New York rural and village districts. I should say the majority of all I saw were farmers not artisans. Of the dozen or so with whom I talked all were farmers, and all were Labor party men. How is that conversion to be accounted for? How far does the disaffection ectend among the rural papulation. And what party in this State is the Labor party going to hurt most seriously? Nobody doubts that in the large cities it will be the Democratic party which will be most dam seed, but all are ia doubt as to how far the disaffection in the rural districts will hurt the Republicans. Bat one thin? seems to be accepted by all parties that .the Labor party is a new problem in the politics of this country, and especially in this section of it. Amid all the excitement occasioned by the recent boom in Wall street re-nlting from the supposed successful closing of the Baltimore and Ohio dea the general publie and many of the brokers themselves iave forgotten all abont the wonderful committee on dullness that was recently appointed by the governors of the Block -Excharge. This commi'tee. which I re. f erred to in a previous letter, was instructed to ascertain the cause of the unusual lack of business in the street and to remedy the fault immediately. In other words, it was to do what the energy and ingenuity of the oldest and most experienced brokers in the trade tad failed to do it was to . make Etock brokerage profitable. Innumerable were the suggestion o 3 er ed to this committee, and itf, Km of them; but all combined did cot answtr the question asked by every one: How am I to pay office rent and live? Bat suddenly, while the committee la deliberating and discussin?, there came a real old fashioned xxionty making deal, and the probUm was at an end for the time pelng. The market boomed, and in the noise and conr fusion the dullness commutes was forgotten by all bat its stupid reif. But, notwithstanding, the commit' ee made ita Teport, and showed that not a member ol it had an idea, or If he did. he lacked the 'Courage to carry it oat. Tae committee recommended following the plan of the -London Exchange in regard to a fortnightly settling day. In other words, (peculators who are en the losing s'da will have two weeks ia which to hope and scheme lor a change of Inck, an? will not be on'.pelled to settle np immediately ia case the market slumps on them. Another thing, and the best one which the committee sag- , gesled, was a reiartien cf commiisioa .charges from one-elhth to one-slxtesutu tcf 1 per cent Tha is gaiog to create a rretty bis difference la speculator' acroWts at the expiration of each year. Very few of the persistent onea operate on If ss than 1,000 shares of etock at a tf me, and when they have to pa? $125 commission each wsy the speculation cen rather bigh and it requires a pre It y active market to clear a profit. o m It is the third conclusion arrived at by . this committee that has knocked into a cocked bat all the absurd old conservatism of th New York clock Exchange. This satisfactory result was obtained by recommending that members be allowed to iy eorr: missions to agents bringing them business. To an outsider there seens to be rotLirg shocking aont this, but to an old fat.hiox.ed conrvatire banker it ia gall and worm wcod. For years the younger lercent In the Exchange hss been trying to gain permission to employ soliciting f7-rts on mm mission, but the "old boys" ' Lava invariably put their feet upon the
picject. They said it was degrading to one who dealt in railway ' and steamboat and government securities to have to drum np trade like a tailor. It was all right tf a member of a firm or an old and trusted employe should suggest to a possible customer the advantage of dealing with their special Louse, but a syBtem of 'drummers" never! I know of several firms whose members b&7B been suspended from ths exchange for periods of six months and a year for paying corn missions to men bringing them business from other cities. No one would ever give any reason for this absurd law, except that drummers were andignified. It was not the brokers who should go to that huge mountain, the public, upon which all fatten; the1 public should bow before the broker. The latter was evidently broken down under the btr&in of watching and waiting. Now, what's tbe rise of any committee trying to pull false wool over the eyes of the speculating lamb when an iafasion of b little honesty ( Wall street couldn't stand very much) ia all the.t is needed to attract the same crowd that formerly swarmed into the gorgeous salons and parlors vulgarly termed offices? The most who are running the market now have no stomachs, let alone souls. - They fleece their best customers. The courts afford evidence of an instance ot this class.
Although a certain broker was getting thousands of dollars out of a young and confidinz customer in cam missions everv month, ne could not resist the tempta tion of going over his books every night and saddling said dnöer with all the stock that he, the broker, had bought for his own account at high prices. Then he would credit his own account ith the sales at high prices made for his customer In the end the duffer was "broke," and when he accused hla broker, or more properly, breaker, of fraud, the latter quietly refanded 1750,000, and then he had the nerve to assure the public that he never took a dollar belonging to anybody. This man did more to kill Wail street than any of his contemporaries, and there are plentv more like him in the Street to-day. They haven't been discov ered, that's all. if the stock Exchange wants business to come in through its many open doors it will have to drive fraud out of its tightly closed windows. Open the windows and let the bad air out! Throw a little of the light of truth and honesty on your transactions, and the investing, not ths speculating, public will hunt you up! Wl ile epeakirg of "respectable" brokers, I want to detail a scene I witnessed in one of the most highly respected houses in the Street a few days sgo. . While talkicg with the head of tbe bouse, an order came from e cnatomer to buy 10,000 shares of below CO. The price on ths tape then was 5Ü. The "highly respected broker" cent the or ier to his board membar, 71th an additional memorandum reading: "Cuy us 1,000 first" Bafore the message reached tbe board room the stock slumped to 58, and in a few minutes we saw on tbe tape the sale of two lots of 550 each at SJg. I made a mental wager then that that 1.0CO shares were for the bouseand as the quotations came thick and fast, 1,000, 59; 510, 59S: 1,000, 59J; 500, 5'JK; 1 COO, 50;'; and so on until the stetdy purchase ot 10.000 had eent the price np to l0, I knew that the ens toner's oiderhad been used to guarantee the profit on the firm's little speculation. And this wai one of those houses where ntenbvs breg that they never speculate on their own account. "Our business is all commif8i"n sir," says the respectable manager. "We never have any interest in the market." That thing is done in nearly tvery commission office in Wall street. A ennous feature of New i ork life is the simultaneous return ard fi light of its richer residents. At this date the cool weather is driving home those New Yorkers who have spent the summer at the watering places; while, at the same time, a large number are flying southward, to Florida and to Nassau, and Havana. There baa been a good deal said and printed about the malaria prevalent in Florida, and I was curious to know how it affects travel to that once popular winter resort. I found that a great many who had tried Florida were going this winter to Nassau and Cuba, while those who had been to the latter places would listen to praises of no other. I suppose it is true that the swamps and marshes ot Florida are a serious drawback to that otherwise favored clime ; but those do not exist In the islands of theJWest Indies. There is only one steamship line from this port to Nassau that ia fit to sail in tbe New York! and Cuba mail and they tell me at tha comany's office that the evidences of a greatly ncreased travel to Nassau are ao pronounced that their facilities have been increased in equal proportions to accommodate it I am glad to hear of this from patriotic motives, for it is one of the few American steamship lines successfully zun. A paragraph in a recent letter or mine about the circulation of New York newspapers has been reprinted by Itself in several papers, and in its isolated form it makes me appear to doubt tbat the New York World has the circulation it claims. I don't like to be thought ass enough to believe that any paper which has noqiestionably the largest circulation inj America, would falsify it It would bs not only diahonest, but highly impolitic. I have personally no sort of doubt that the Worll hss 2(30,000 circulation; and I do not know any good reason why as virile a paper editorially, as interesting a newfljournal and as independent a paper politically shouldn't go on increasing its circulation Inde finitely In proportion to the increase of population and the decrease of energy and force of its cootemporaries. A paper's circulation is built up from these two sources: but it is only the live paper which gains from both sources. I personally know that the Herald twenty-four years ago printed as many as 1.J0.000 paperi a day, and the population ot this immediate district has practically doubled sines that time. There is no reason why a good newspaper like tbe World of to-day sbouldo't hare twice the circulation of tbe Herald when It was a gcod newspaper a quarter of a century ago. So, when cny paper quotes me as saying tbat 'It is said," and that "I have heard" that the World has not the circulation that it claims, I wish they would also publish that I don't believe anything of the sort, and that I bad stated in auotber paragraph that the World was the only paper in tbe city with more than 200 000 circulation, and was one of the two which bad any editorial influence. The play of Allan Dare, produced at the Fifth avenue Theater on Monday, ia a gcod bit of property, but I wont say that It is a good play. It is interesting; it puts o'd materials to novel uses; it i fall ot character and fuller still of color, and the story is alive with surprises and strong effects. It is represented to be by Admiral D. D. Porter; and the Admiral acknowledged the authorship by rising in his box and bowing when the Author was called for. It has since been asserted in ore or two newspapers that some California author who also wrote Mark Twain's play (and possibly all his books) was the adapter; but I can hardly believe that so treat an admiral and romancer would rail under false colors. By the way, tbe author's box on Monday night contained, sitting Bide by side, jhe two great et t romancers the country has recently produred; for next to Torter sst Gen. Wm. Tecumseh ßherman. Porter's p'ay may not live as long in ths realm of romance aa Sherman's Memoirs and his official i sports, but the truth and probability of Porter's inventions will Mways hear as close investigation as Sherman's facts.

EVERYTHING SERENE.
Ncbcdy Disturbed by ths Insane Hospital Cfcirgs Except ths Republican Press. Dr. Gilbriiti 'Isemca Fall Csntrol of ths Kinigemeat of ths Institution. Ths Joustl'i hettsiatent Course id Hypocritical Howl Tcuchiii ths Chinas. Wliat Ex Superintendent; rietcher Said Before tha Investigating Committee ot tha Liut Oaneral Assembly. Dr. Thomas F. Galbraith, the new superintendent of the hospital for the insane, is now in charge of the institution. So far as the Internal affairs of the hospital are concerned, the change has not created a ripple and everything ia running as smoothly aj if nothing had hatpened. The Republican papers, notably, the Journal and tha News, are denouncing the appointment and trying to raise a hullabaloo just as they did when Dr. Fletcher was put in Charge of the hospital four years ago. It really looks as if they had resorted to the brain-saving method of turning to the files and reproducing matter printed at that time. A lengthy editorial entitled 'The Outrage Consummated," was printed in the Journal of June 8, 18ri3, in which it was made to appear that Dr. Bogers was the only man in the country fitted to be in charge of the institution, and that it had been turned over to spoilsmen; an editorial of the same tenor pr.nted yesterday and captioned "A Public Outrage," would have tbe people believe that another great wrong had been done tin retiring Dr. Fletcher, who had given the Hospital a front rank among the public charities and who (as it had said of Dr. Itoeers), was the one and only man competent to manage the institution's.affdira properly. On June 8, 1SS3, the Journal said editorially: We greatly mistake the temper of the taxpayers of Indiana, without regard to party, if the action of Mr. President Harrison anl his complaceDt tools, in tbe degradation of the great charities of the State, be not so indignantly rebuked that an effectual lein will be taught partisan bummets and strikers of ail grades. The Journal did mistake the temper of the taxpayers aa proved by the ensuing election. Here is what tte News Tsays now, and it will be observed that it is strikingly like the Journal's editorial of four years ago: The Republicans ate saying to-day that U Democracy is not beaten in Iudiana at the next election, it is because tnere are not enough voteiB in the State who believe in good gorernment and tbe removal of the spoils system, with all its abuses and corruption, frotn tüe benevolent Institutions. In the city the Republicans fy they will reap an advantage Irom tue ctlon of the trustees, as Coy. Sullivan, et al .are directly identified with all ol the abuses charged up to the Harrison regime. From time to time attempts have been me tie by the Journal to mislead the public as to what Dr. W. B. Fletcher's testimony proved during the investigation last witter by the House and Senate committees. Below the statement gives verbatim extracts from the Doctor's sworn, statements to the Senate committee. First concerning the trusted of the Hospital for the Insane, he testified as follows: Question by Mr.Spaan You, of course, weie personally and intimately acquainted all this time four years with the three members of the Board Gapen, Borreli and Harmon? Answer Yes, sir. "I would like to know if yon consider them honorable, straightforward men?'' "I do." "I would like to know if yon consider Mr. Gapen a good business man?-' "Yes sir " "And Mr. Barren?" "Yes Bir." "And Dr. Harrison?" "Not as a commercial man, but a good business man in ordinary affairs." (This testimony appears on page 120 of the Senate Committee's report) With reference to the medical staff Dr. Fletcher testified as follows: "Yon have a very efficient medical staff out there, have yon not?" "I think to." There Is harmony among the msdical staff, is there not?" "Yes, so far as I know." "Your personal relations with your medical staff are pleasant, are they not?" "In every instance." "Dr. Thomas Is a man competent for his position, is he not?" "I so regard him, or I would not have him there." "And that is true of all the doctors you have out there?" "It is," (See page 421, Senate Committee's report) As to the character of tbe Insane Hospital aa a public charity the Doctor testified aa follows: "You are somewhat and I may say thoroughly acquainted with the methods of other institutions of a like kind in this country, are you not?" "So far aa I could inform myself by reading and visiting some ot them." "Compared with thoss that you have become acquainted with, either by personal observation or by information, how will our hospital compare with those? ' "Where it is strictly run by State charity I know of none superior, and very few equal." (Page 421 Senate report ) "Would you expect to run that institution aa a man of wealth and delicate tastes wou'd run the table of his house?" "No, iir." "Tbe way that ordinary people eat, dress and live ia about the way to run that institution, is It not?" "Jast about" "Yon have, of course, a great deal of experience in matters of this kind, and yon think it is run np to that standard, that is a h'gh standard for an institution of that kird?" "Yes. sir." "Now, I will read from your report for and see if yon still indorse that; patre 13 of your renort to the Governor for the year 1880: 'From a constant personal observation and a daily inspection of six physicians, five supervisors, four dining room Stewarts, 1 20 attendants and fire cooks but cne conclusion can be recorded, that Is that all essential foods and many luxuries have been constantly furnished in sufficient abundance to maintain the pop ulation in good health, and that in quality the food va as good and as veil prepared as (hat ftrmd on mot tables iii Amtrica. Yoa stillendose that?" "Certainly." "That you would consider a little above the average of tbat kind of an institution, would you not?" "I believe it la above the average of most of the American institutions that arc ran on our plan of absolute charity." (See pages 427-423 Senate report) "The hospital now is more efficient. In your opinion, than it has been heretofore, iaitnot?" "Yes, sir." "Now, I will ask yon If in this improvement you have not had the co-operation of all of the trustees?" "I know nothing to the contrary." (See page 429 Senate report.) It has been charged repeatedly that in the internal management of tbe hospital tbat tbe trustees have frequently and persistently hampered and interfered with Dr. Fletcher. This Is what the Doctor said on that subject:
"In all matters pertaining to the treatment and management of patients I have bad absolute svay, and have had the unqualified support of the trusteei.thsrein." (Pape 430, Senate report) "The whole matter of discharging employes for cruelty is under your control, is it Dot?" "Yes, sir, It ia." "In tout matter I wilfask yon if the trustees have ever assumed to dictate to you, or control you In any way? ' "Never.,r "And you consider yourself wholly and alone responsible for that matter?" "Entirely so." (Page 431, Senate Report) About the matter of appointments Dr. Fletcher testified as follows: "I will ask you if you were ever forced to make appointments by the trustees?" "I was never forced to do it at all." "Were you ever threatened in any way by any of the trustees that if yoa did not make certain appointments that you would be eure to be displaced or sufler some other consequence?" "No, air. No one naa ever aaid that to me." (Page 421, Senate report) You were given the internal management of tne hospital? "Yes, sir; they have always given me ths internal management." "Ultimately all appointments that were made were made by you?" "Yes sir " "And none against your will?" "None were rejected that I named. iFage 423, Senate report) The above is only a partial summary taken from Dr. Fletcher's own testimony, and it certainly establishes the fact that th trustees of the Hospital for the Insane had no control over the internal management of that institution ; that Dr. Fletcher was given sole and absolute control. If this is true, then the mismanagement cAthe Hospital charged by the Journal, Drr Fletcher is alone responsible for according to his own confession. Why then does the Joarnal rags because Dr. Fletcher has been superseded? If wrang has been done in tbe management ot the Hospital, aa charged, Dr. Fletcher has been allowed to remain too long. The trouble with the Journal ia that it is simply inconsistent in its position. Consumption Cared. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and ell nervous Complaint?, alter having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of case?, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human buffering, I will send free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe In German, French or English, with foil directions for preparing and using.

The Same Old Howl. I Communicated. 1 Tbe Journal howls loudly and deeply because Dr. Fletcher was not re-elected Superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane. What does the Journal care for Dr. Fletcher? Nothing. By a careful comparison it will be discovered that the articles in the Journal now are precisely similar to those which appeared four years since when a change in the superintendency took place. There is not only a parallelism of ideas, but almost a complete parity of words. The Journ&l simply wishes to make cspital on a false assumption of facta for its party. What did Fletcher kiow of Insane Hospitals and insane people fouTyears ago? Again we say, nothing. (Dr. Fletcher is not the only man by a good deal, in this State, who can macage an insane hospItaL We are inclined to the opinion that the newly appointed man will do as well in all respects and much better in some. Dr. Galbraith is an;honorable, truthful, sincere man, an accomplished physician, fully matured by twenty years of study and practice, both at home and abroad, who will see that the State and its wards suffer no harm by his appointment Dr. Galbraith is neither a Republican nor a Mugwump, but la a Democrat in good standing, and we will be willing, after he has served four years as superintendent, to compare his record with that of Dr. Fletcher or any other man who has served in a like capacity. The hospital for the Insane does not depend upon Dr. Fletcher or any one man. There are hundreds of good, canable men In Indiana who could successfully administer Ps affairs. Let the Journal howl, for the Republican party will euffer by the change. A. Don't Laagh at Nervous People. Their sufferings are very real, although you, with your vigorous physique and strong nerves, can scarcely believe it.

He lays Lot a word, but he look. In a mlüute, mere wisdom, I'll swear, Than is itut in the biggest ot books. Maby Koton B&adford, Kotes f raon Nature. I love thee gentle tenants of the wood, Tbe timid bare, tha filibustering jay, Who, hitting here and tnere throughout the day. Fill with d'scordant notes the solitude. The chattering squirrel, with plumes of red and 8'ay; Tbe woodpecker, beating off his reveille; The partridge, whirring rapidly away To denser coverts where no eye can see. And olten, when beneath tbe silver moon, l'lacid and still the basking river lies, The far off wail of some belated loon Floats faintly np to purple ever lag skies: While swsying pines, with soft .Koiiin tune, Forever join lu nature's symphony. Faul II. Lkab. The Reason Vy, IChlcago Sews. 'Will you tell me. youthful angler," To an urchin I did say As together we eat Ashing, One fair morn, upon the quay, " V by tbe fish to you are partial And around my hook they play? 1 bare had not e'en a nibble Since the breaking of the day." This urchin's face was homely, And his clothes were torn aud thin; And attached to his "galius'' Were his trouers by a pin. For a rod he had a papling: I a jointed pole had hired; Yet he sat and hauled tbe fish in With a fckill that made me "tired. Scattered around him were his trophies, Lixe tbe rocks along tbe shore. He a hundred fUn had taken; I a cold, and nothing more, Tint this urchin made no answer. He did onlv sit and grin; 'Til at length I cried in anger: "Tell me I Tell, thou chili of sin, "Or 1 11 teed you to the fishes! And your bones s ball sink from sight As the sun siuks in tbe evening." . "Hold !" he cried, "I have a bite." Then this urchin, mtliDir, answered, V bile anot her fish he took; . "Pou t you r excited, mister, You iorgot to bait your hook." -Du; lliits.
