A PLEA FOR THE POOR.

Gov. Altgeki Appeals for Aid for the Starving at Pullman. I Falling to Interest George M. Pullman in Behalf of His Destitute Ex-Em-ployes, He Asks the Public for Help. SUCCOR is needed. Chicago, Aug. 22.— Just before returning to Springfield Tuesday night Gov. Altgeld issued a proclamation to the people of Illinois, asking them to send contributions to relieve the starving strikers at Pullman. He also addressed a letter to <Lhe county commissioners, calling their attention to the suffering in Pullman and urging them to furnish immediate assistance. The letter to the county commissioners is expected to secure food enough to keep the strikers alive until responses to Gov. Altgeld's proclamation begin coming in. The appeal is as follows: •To the People of the State of Illinois and Especially Those of the City of Chicago: There is great distress growing out of the want ol food in and around the town of Pullman. More than 1.000 families, or in the neighborhood of 6.008 people, are utterly destitute—nearly four-fifths of them are women and children. The men have endeavored to get work, but were unable to do so. 1 have made a personal examination of the case and learn from the officers of the Pullman company that prior to the strike they had 3,260 names on the pay-roll; yesterday they had 2.220 people at work, but over GOO of these were new men, so that they have only about 1.600 of their old employes at work, leaving about 1,660 that have not been taken back. Several hundred of these have left, but the remainder are unable to go away and have nothing to eat. I find that immediately after the beginning of the strike a relief association was formed to provide for the needy, and the books of this association show that 2.463 applications were made by the Pullman employes, mostly heads of families, to this association for aid—in fact, nearly all of the employes except the few hundreds who left have Deen supported by charity for nearly three months. "As a rule they are a superior class of laboring people, industrious, capable and steadv, and some of them have worked for the Pullman company for more than ten years. Those who have been given work can get food, but are still in such an impoverished condition that they cannot help their neighbors if they would. The relief society is unable to get more supplies. On last Saturday it gave to each family two pounds of oatmeal and two pounds of cornmeal, and having nothing left it suspended operations, leaving the people In an absolutely helpless condition. The county commissioners of Cook county, as overseers of the poor, have rendered some assistance, but owing to a limited appro- . priation they can furnish relief but for a short time. • We cannot now stop to inquire the cause of this distress. The good people of this state cannot allow women and children by the hundred to perish of hunger. I therefore call upon all humane and charitably-disposed citizens to contribute what they can toward giving relief to these people. I am satisfied that any contribution sent to the Pullman relief committee at Kensington, 111., will be judiciously distributed. i find their treasurer has given bond to properly account for all moneys received. 'Aug. 21. 1 John P. Altgeld. Governor.' 1 The correspondence between Gov. Altgeld and George M. Pullman in relation to the destitution in the town was given to the press by the governor. It began last Sunday, when the governor sent a telegram to Mr. Pullman from Springfield in resoonse to a number of appeals made to him by strikers for assistance. In this dispatch the governor tells Mr. Pullman that although the state of Illinois has not the least desire to meddle in the affairs of the company it cannot allow a whole community within its borders to perish of hunger and informs the president of the company that unless relief comes he would either have to call a special session of the legislature to make an appropriation or else issue an appeal to the humane people of the : state to give bread to the company's former employes. He adds: “It seems to me you would prefer to relieve the situation yourself, especially as it has just cost the state upwards of £50,000 to protect your property.” In a letter written Tuesday to President lhillman, the governor makes a statementof tliegcondition of the starving people, based on his tour of investigation and inquiry made the daybefore at Pullman. He tells Mr. Pullman that something must be done at once and adds: “I repeat that it seems | to me your company cannot afford jto have me appeal to the char- ! Ry and humanity of the state to save | the lives of your old employes, no | matter what caused the distress. He makes the suggestion that the company cancel all rents due to October 1, I and work some of the men half time, | so that all can get something to eat for ! their families. In reply to this letter Mr. Pullman makes a long statement blaming those who are idle for being' in their present condition and declaring that the company did not know there was any such extended distress as represented to the governor. He says the full force has been engaged for the work in hand and makes the allegation that a considerable number of the men had persistently refused to apply for work at any time, considering themselves still on strike. Gov. Altgeld makes a caustic reply to Mr. Pullman’s letter refusing to enter into a discu-sion of the merits of the controversy and asserting that if the president had seen what the governor had seen in Pullman he would be convinced that none of the sufferers had drawn money from the bank a few weeks ago, as alleged by Mr. Pullman in his letter, he concludes with the statement that as Mr. Pullman had refused to do anything to save his old employes from perishing of hunger the governor would be compelled to appeal to the humanity of the people of Illinois to do so.

DEAD IN CENTRAL PARK.

Bodies of a Man and Woman Fonnd on the Ramble Evidence of a Tragedy. New York, Aug. 22.—The dead bodies of a man and woman were found on the ramble in Central park. The man had a bullet hole in his head and the woman had been shot in the left breast. The police are unable to learn, so far, whether both comm, tied suicide or whether the man shot the woman and then himself. Their names are believed to be Julius De Naren and Julia F&unrier, both French. The man was about 28 years of age and the woman a few years younger.

SILVER SHOULD BE FREE.

So Say Resolutions Introduced la House of Representative*. Washington, Aug. 22.—Representative Hartman (Mont.) presented in the house Tuesday resolutions for the free coinage of silver, which are regarded by the free-silver associates-as one of the most significant expressions in favor of their doctrine which have been elicited by the agitation of the last year. The resolutions have been considered and adopted during the present session by the most powerful | labor organizations of the country, are strongly worded and are signed by the chief officers of the various unions. The signers are: J. B. Sovereign, general master workman, and John W. Hayes, secretary and treasurer, of the Knights of Labor; Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Marion Butler, president of the National Farmers’ alliance; Henry H. Trenor. president, and P. J. McGuire, secretary, of the Brotherhooo of Carpen- | ters and Joiners: P. M. Arthur, chief of j the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; C. j A. Kobinson, president of the Farmers' Mutual Benefit association; Frank Sargent, grand master workman, and F. W. Arnold, secretary and treasurer, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and John Mcßride, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Accompanying the resolution is an address “to the members of organized labor and all other producers and toilers throughout the United States,” which led to their adoption. The address declares that “in view of the general distress, at a time when granaries are full and in the natural order of things producers and toilers should be enjoying the fruits of their labors, it seems that the time has come for united action on the part of those who create the wealth of the country.” One of the causes which have brought about this condition, the address savs, is the “departure from the wise bimetallic financial principle of Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton and the substitution of the monometallic policy dictated by- the European money holders and their American allies.” A review of financial legislation is given to >,v what part was enacted in the in: rest of the producing and what <u the non-producing classes. The proposition is set forth that before the demonetization of silver 3,500 bushels of wheat or 35,000 pounds of cotton equaled the annual pay of a senator or congressman, while to-day 10,000 bushels of wheat or 100,000 pounds of cotton barely suffice; that formerly 35,000 bushels of wheat or 250,000 pounds of cotton would have paid the salary of the president, while to-day he receives the equivalent of 100,000 bushels of wheat or 1,000,000 pounds of cotton, and the same proportion applies to all other fixed salaries and increases. Demoralization of the food-pro-ducing sections is said to have caused the manufacturers to lose the markets for their goods so that hundreds of thousands of workmen have been thrown out of employment, and the demonetization of half the world's volume of money is said to hare made it comparatively easy for capitalists to corner and manipulate the other half. In the review’ of financial legislation it is charged that all acts since the civil war have been in the interest of bondholders and against the producers, and the Sherman law is said to have been repealed at the demand of European financiers, although a grand fight was made by the people s representatives. The resolutions are as follows: "We demand of the present congress the immediate return to the money of the constitution as established by our fathers by restoring the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1, the coins of both metals to be equally full legal tender for all debts, public and private, as before the fraudulent demonetization of silver in 1873. "We also condemn the increase of the national debt in the time of peace and the use of interest-bearing bonds at any time.”

PYTHIANS TO MEET.

Preparations for Their Coming Encampmciit in "Washington. Washington, Aug. 22.— The Knights of Pythias hold the it annual encampment here from August 27 to 31, and Gen. Carnahan, of Indiana, the grand commander, says that 10,000 knights in uniform will come to camp around Washington monument, and from 50,000 to 75,000 camp followers will invade the hotels and boarding houses. The president has promised to review the parade, which will probably take place on Tuesday or Wednesday, according to his convenience. On Tuesday evening there is to be a grand reception and ball in honor of the supreme lodge, at which Vice President Stevenson will represent the government of the United States and make a speech. Addresses are expected from other representative men. Tnree thousand invitations have been issued, not including the knights, ilie ball will De given in Convention hall, which will accommodate 7,000 or 8,000 pel-sons. On August 29 a grand banquet will be given, and on August 30 the Pythian Sisters will entertain the brethren.
