MOBE than half a mile of summer hotels and pleasure resorts at Seaside station, Bockaway Beach, Long Island, went up in flame and smoke. Both sides of Seaside avenue from the rail­ road station were swept by the Wave of the flame which turned around the ocean front and rolled down the iron pier toward Bockaway park on the west. A woman was burned to death and several persons injured. Seawde avenue was blocked with debris of all kinds. Pianos, billiard and pool tables, silverware, crockery, housa- hold articles of all descriptions were p-led together in con­ fused heaps in all directions, plunder for the gangs who looted the burning buildings. When the fire got beyond control the wildest orgies -broke out among the crowds of . hoodlums at­ tracted to the place. Burning sa­ loons were thrown open by the fleeing proprietors and the mobs took possession of them. Seaside avenue with its scores of flimsy frame structures was like a huge tinder box ready for the torch and when it was applied no power could stay the fire. The fire started in John Cornish's Won­ derland Museum. Several hundred buildings in all were burned and the loss is estimated at from $500,000 to $2,000,000. " WESTERN.-" - - WHILE George Mellns and George Thompson were riding across a bridge at Whitewater, Minn., on an engine the bridge gave way, precipitating the men and engine into the water. Both men were so badly injured that they cannot recover. WATKIKS' BANK at Dexter, Kan., was robbed of $3,000 by two masked mien, one of whom kept the ca«hier covered by a revolver while the other took pos­ session of the monev. Then they rode off upon the horses they had left at the door of the bank. ROBBERS who were after $1,000,000 in currency wrecked the Missouri River night express on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, three miles west of Osage City, Kan., at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. As a result four were killed and thirty-five injured. The robbers failed to get the money, which was in a safe in the express car. CHABLES H. PAF:L, late Treasurer of Adams County, Nebraska, in whose ac­ counts a deficit of $50,000 was discov­ ered last January, has been pardoned by Gov. Boyd. The jury that sentenced Paul to three years' imprisonment rec­ ommended him to mercy on the ground that he had not profited by the defalca­ tion and that the term of imprisonment prescribed would imperil his life. JOHN W. HALIJ, living in poverty near Kirkwood, a suburb of St. Louis, entered the residence of Wilbur F. Warner in the town named, fox the purpose of rob­ bery. He was discovered by Mr. War­ ner, who shot him in the side. Mortally wounded, Hall managed to climb out through a window and then fell. Realiz­ ing his position he shot himself twice, the first ball grazing his forehead and the second entering, his brain through the left eye. THEBB is no doubt that the Chinese of San Francisco ptopose to make a fight against the registration act. The Six Companies sent out a committee of seven men to visit all stores in the Chi­ nese quarters and secure the signatures of all merchants to a petition to be sent to the Chinese Government asking that government to send agents to this coun­ try, first, to make themselves acquainted with all the registration act by confer­ ring with the Chinese in the city and then to proceed to Washington and re­ quest President Harrison to take some action to nullify the law. It is declared, however, that the cir­ culars alleged to have been issued by the Six Companies directing all Chinese laborers in the United States to disregard the registration act were hoaxes. It seems the paper that pub­ lished the alleged circulars made a mis­ take in printing the Chinese text of one and the translation of another. The President of the Six Companies says he had advised the Chinese laborers that the registration law is unconstitutional, and suggesting that they do not comply with it. BY a collision between the Chicago express and a freight train at Shreve, Wayne County. Ohio, early Wednesday morning, thirteen persons were killed and eight injured. The Chicago ex­ press known as train No. 8 ran into the flret section of freight train No. 75. The express was approaching at full speed when the freight, which had been lying on a siding, was drawn out on the main track. It is thought the engineer of the freight .train did not understand his orders. Both engines were thrown Into the ditch and ground into a shape­ less mass. They were followed by six cars of the express train, includ­ ing the postal car, two express cars, the baggage car, the smoking car, and one coach, together with five of tne freight cars. The wrecked cars were destroyed by fire. One coach and the sleeping cars on the express train were not wrecked and escaped the flames. The dead are: H. S.

THE stern-wheel steamer City of Sheffield cleared from St. Louis loaded to the guards with oats, having a full crew on board. When stoaming up the Tennessee River, Britton Johnson, of Eastport, Tenn., and William Johnson, of Rivertown, Ala., two roustabouts, became engaged in a quarrel, but oth­ ers interfering the trouble was allayed. The Johnsons were not related and were bitter enemlos. Just before reach­ ing New Era, Tenn., the Johnsons met in the gangway on the stern of the boat, both drew revolvers, which they proceeded to use in a battle that ter­ minated In both participants being shot to death. POLITICAL. NEBRASKA Democrats have organized a State League of Democratic clubs. JrooE GEOBOE T. WOBTS, who wa® nominated by the Democrats of New Jersey for Governor, has decided not to run. FBANK J. CANNON, son of ex-delegate and President Cannon, of the Mormon Church, was nominated at Salt Lake, Utah, by the Republican Territorial con­ vention for delegate to Congress. EX-COXGBESSMAN DOBSEY of Ne­ braska is said to have been selected for theofficeof Assistant Secretary of State, which Mr. Crounse recently resigned in order that he might accept the nomina­ tion lor Governor of Nebraska. SEXATOB DAVID B. HILL reiterated the other evening, in the presence of 4,003 Democrats, at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, his famous declara> tion, made in the same place in 1885 "I am a Democrat." It was dramatical­ ly done, and aroused great enthusiasm. There was a great outpouring of Demo­ crats. The Academy of Music could not accommodate the crowd that tried to get into it. At seven o'clock the doors of the big theater were opened. Every seat was occupied three minutes later, and in five minutes from the time the doors were opened every bit of space in the building was taken. Several hnn. dred ladies were in the theater. G. A.

PKINCE ANTON RADZIWILII has be­ come suddenly insane at Lodz, in Rus­ sian Poland, while en route to join the Czar's hunting party at Spala. He ap­ peared at a window of the Grand Hotel in Lodz Sunday armed with a rifle and two revolvers with which he fired at the people in the court-yard, wounding two servants. He was overpowered by sol­ diers after a desperate struggle. SHABBY treatment was accorded by the Liverpool Board of Trade to the men rescuing passengers from the steamship City of Chicago early in July. The Foard of Trade awarded the men five shillings each. The coast guard men received eleven shillings each. Fisherman Dennis, who in a dense fog piloted ashore four boats containing* 180 persons, claimed £70 and received 42 shillings. He has sued for the balance. IN GENERAL THE available stocks of wheat in the United States and Canada, east of the Rocky Mountains, as reported to Brad- street's last week, were, on Sept 10, 47,261,977 bushels, as against 29,732,668 bushels during the corresponding week of 1891. In the first total the North­ western interior elevator stocks are omitted, information being refused by Northern Pacific, North Dakota, and Vandusen Elevator Companies for the reason, as said: "To gratify> farmers, who think the publication depresses prices." West of the Rockie^ the total stocks were 5,857,000 bushels. Exports of wheat (and of flour as wheat) from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti­ more, Newport News, New Orleans, Galve3ton, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, Portland, Maine, Tacoma, and Seattle, as reported by mall and wire to Bradstreet's. were 3,344,241 bushels. R. G. DUN & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Cholera has lunded, and the business of New York goes on exactly as if it bad nob The selling of stocks has been quite heavy, and the decline In price* has aver­ aged about 12 a share for all the actlv# list. Monev Is In ample supply, and the demand from the Interior Is less tkaa usual at this season, but large amounts are held out o( the loan market by people who are looking for exceptional oppor­ tunities to buy cheaply. Money baa been steady at 4 per cc^t. while foreign ex­ change has fallen so far thai exports of gold are unprofitable The Treasury has added Si,500,000 gold and $600,000 silver to its stock, while putting out t400,000 ad­ ditional paper. Here, as in all parts of the country, the supply of money Is amp'e for legitimate needs, and the shrinkage of speculation H helpful as regards the pos­ sibility of monetary pressure later. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 162. as compared with totals of 170 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 230.

In 1866 the Grand Army of the Bepublio wa3 founded, with B. F. Stephenson of Illinois as first Commander-in-chief. In­ cluded in its ranks were many men who had become famous throughout the world for their brilliant achievements in the field of war and on the sea, and there were also untold thousands of the men unknown to the world by name, and who never swore any more pretentious unl- (ti-y form than the blue / ** . 4'• blouse and trousers, ^: A but who were the nnits that made up the grandest force of warriors in numbers and warlike deeds that tJie world had ever COMMA N DE n- IN- known.

On all sides the eye gazed on nothing but aged men plainly attired in blue clothes with gilt buttons and slouch hats, save an occasional post with white helmets, and except where showed the fbright uniforms of bands, of whioh there seemed enough to sound a trum­ pet call that would shake the nation. From the botanical gar­ dens at the foot of the west front of the Capitoi down Diagonal avenue as far as the Pennsylvania Ballway sta­ tion and the railway tracks stretched tho ranks of the Illinois and Wisconsin Departments. To the south and east covering the entire available space from the flank of the Sucker and Badger State Divisions to and along where the Pennsylvania "Railroad tracks enter the navy yard tunnel, covering a space that would hold several ordinary proces­ sions, were the Pennsylvanians and Ohloans. South or the Capitol the New-Yorkers spread out in a long, irregular, broken formation that made their jrear. column complete­ ly flank the men from Con­ necticut and Massachusetts, whose right of column faced the parking of the east front of the Capitol, on whoso green lawns many of the EaBtern troops lolled, fraternized, and told war-time reminiscences as they waited for the signal to fall in line and begin the march. The other New England troops and commands from New Jersey and far off California occupied, for blocks, the streets directly east of the Capitol Mm AND FIELD.

But once a year it has been the custom of many ofi them to come together at some central point, and, exchanging fraternal greetings, revive the memory of the days gone by, of war aud valor, and bitter strug­ gle, and heroic endurance, of hardship and disaster, and of final and glorious •iotory. Now the ranks are thinning out; old faces are missing, and the list of the famous Generals who led th6lr men to vic­ tory and have parsed from earth is growing apace. As the years rolled past and the comrades dropped out of line the remainder of that great host has longed to come again to the capital city and tread once more the broad sweep of that magnificent avenue on which they stepped with erect figures and martial bearing in 1865 at the end of the war. At last this louging has been eratitted by holding the National Encampment here. A Hagn'fleent (lathering. For days the comrades gathered from every part of the Union. Great cities, small towns, little hamlets and solitary farmhouses sent their quotas, greater or smaller, and the result was an at­ tendance that no man could closely es­ timate, and one certainly surpassing any ever before seen in Washington. The trains arrived in so many sections as to constitute an intricate problem in railroad management, and every train was laden with comrades and their wives and sons and daughtere. Be­ sides, there were very many sightseeis, not connected with the Grand Army of the Republic, attracted by the spec­ tacular displays ezpeoted to be seen during the week. All of these people were taken care of, as they arrived, by the members of the Reception Commit­ tee or the numerous corps of bright high-8ch9ol boys who were detailed for Ine service. Those who had secured accommodations at hotels or boarding- houses were directed to their destina­ tion; those who had heedlessly and without regard to warning circulars sent out by the Citizens' Committee, neglected to engage lodgings, were fur­ nished with aaaresses where bed and board might be had, and the great army of veterans who have availed themselves of the free quarters tendered by the cit­ izens of Washington were escorted to their temporary quarters. In some way everybody was cared for. Grand Army Place. The feature of the first day, full of events as it was and one of historic in­ terest, was the Inauguration and dedica­ tion of Grend Army place, as It is called, which is known as the White Lot, and lies Just south of the grounds of the executive mansion. It is one magnifi­ cent lawn comprising many acres of ground, covered with well-kept green sod and unbroken by a single tree or bush. On this vast field has been laid out a reproduction of the closing cam­ paign of the war of the rebellion. But instead of serried ranks and rows of death-dealing artillery, the positions of the Federal armies have been indicated by the arrangement of tents and stands. Tlie (ireat Parade. On the second day the Grand Army of the Republic made its triumphal march along Pennsylvania avenue. Time's ravages in its ranks made it pos­ sible to attempt in one day what it re­ quired two long days to accomplish in 1865. To the survivors of the 160,000 men of the armies of the Potomac and the West, who on the memorable 23d and 24th of May. 1865, passed in review before the President and his Cabinet, including Secretary Sewnrd, Just recov­ ering from Ihe assassin's knife, the for­ eign ministers, the military attaches of the great powers of Europe, and their own beloved and illustrious geaerals, Grant, our j ... contrasts out were look seven day for :lie reviewing ength of the ter General Wanamaker. There were also Gen. Schofield, the head of the army, and a numerous assemblage of distinguished men. It was a grand sight when, following the civic escort and the old guard of Washington, came the Sixth Massachusetts, given a place of honor because of Its part In defending the National Capital In the memorable days of 1861. Its remnant of a flag bore the inscription which told of the bloody riot in Baltimore where the disunionists disputed its course to the National Cap­ ital. Closely following came a detach­ ment of the Pennsylvania first defend­ ers, who also claimed the honor of be­ ing the earliest protectors of Washing­ ton. Illinois, as the home and the birth­ place of the Grand Army, by right of seniority {leaded the departments As department after department marched by the recognition of a heroic figure would evoke tremendous outbursts of enthusiasm. All in all, the parade was an event which fully justified the emo­ tions of the veterans who had bent every energy to have it take place in the midst of historio associations of the National Capital. Monuments l~nvelled. Two events of more than ordinary in­ terest mark the encampment of 1842 as of great importance. These were the unveiling of the Lafayette and the An- tietam Monuments. The former is a gift of Lafayette Post of New York, and Commander Mills, Chauncey M. Depew and Joel Erhart, all members of thU post, were the principal speakers.

The people ace In poverty. Their substance Is being devoured by heartless monopolists, trusts, pools and money sharks. Labor la largely unemployed, and where work Is obtain­ able the wajies paid are for the moat DP ft un- remunerative, and the products of labor not paying the costs of production. This Is a mat­ ter of serious concern to the whole people. The leaders of the heretofore dominant par­ ties are everywhere controlled by the great monopoly and money centers, and mani­ fest utter disregard for the wants and wishes of the people. The parties are hostile camps arranged on sectional linos and the presieut bitterness and cruelties of the past; every four years discussing the issues of the late war which should long since have been allowed to pass from the political discussions of the day. Notwithstandlntr the bitterness existing be­ tween the old parties they vie with each other in their subservience to capitalistic and cor­ porate greed. They are incapable of dealing sincerely with the vast problem evolved by the growth of the last quarter of a century. Upon the general economic questions 01 me age tiiey uiv practi­ cally in harmony, differing just enough to en­ able them to carry on a sham battle, while the work of robbery and spoliation proceeds una­ bated. In the meantime the farmers and planters. North and South, and the wage- earners everywhere are proscribed, maltreated, brought into competition with convict labor, and in many instances shot down by hired mercenaries acting under orders of arrogant corporations, which have unblushingly usurped the functions of Government and pre­ sumed to act in its stead. These corporations dominate the daily press and control tho lines of daily communication with the people. A still greater peril--we hold that the rights of a free ballot and a fair count are rights pre­ servative of all rights, and upon their invlola- ern States through which we have passed a widespread loss of confidence on the part of the people in the integrity of the judges of elections in receiving the ballots of the people and counting them for the candi­ dates of their choice. We think that this evil must be corrected by the intelligence and in­ tegrity of the people of the country; otherwise scenes of violence, and perhaps bloodshed, may follow these efforts of parties In charge 01 the ballot boxes t6 defraud the will of the Vot«r. They will lead to a serious collision, and that quickly, Their Party's Growth In the South. After consultation with the people we be­ lieve It to be true beyond reasonable question that the majority of white voters are with the People's party in every Southern State thus far visited, and our information leads us to believe that the same thing is true in the other States also. The white people are leaving the old parties and casting their lot with us, and our numbers are constantly Increasing. We are informed by a large number of intelligent and reputable people that in the recent State election in Alabama Capt. Kolb was chosen Governor by over 40,000 majority, and yet his opponent was counted in by a majority of 10,000. County tickets throughout the State were counted out and others counted In. By the same unblushing methods we are informed that in the State election, which oc­ curred in Arkansas Sept. 5, at least eo.ooo of the disqualified voters of the State were de­ prived of the right of suffrage, that the returns were inaccurate, that at this election the Peo­ ple's party, the number polling a large vote, was denied representation in the appointment of judges and commissioners, by whom the election was to be conducted. In consequence of these methods the will of the legally author­ ized voters of the State has been defeated. The only thing thut our friends In that State have to guide them is in the few counties where they are to force an honest count. In every one of these counties our vote ran fully up to ex­ pectations. In Washington, Independence, White, Clark, Nevada, Crawford, Sebastian, Scott, populous white counties, the People's party hold an immense vote, their ticket lead­ ing the Republican largely and was about equal with the Democratic. We believe that a fair count would have shown similar conditions throughout the State. The frauds and Irregularities in the State ret tried to, though local, are yet matters worthy of the serlouo consideration of the people of the whole United States. The de­ plorable condition of affairs cannot be reme­ died from without. The solution must come from the people within these States supported by a healthy public sentiment everywhere, and we believe it to be the duty of all people with­ out regard to section to utand by these aoble people of the South who SJSV® risesi up to de­ mand good government and honest elections. After an experiment of many years it is ap> parent that neither the Republican party not the Democratic party can or will accomplish the much-desired end--to wit, the restoration of the ballot to a fair and honest basis In the States of the Union. The People's party alone can secure the desired end. If the people of the whole country who desire honest elections and the repeal of class lawe will rally to the support of this great industrial movement and place the party in power under whose banner the whole people of the Sooth are now mar­ shaling themselves, this vexed question will be settled forever. It is certain that the peo­ ple of the South will not join the ranks of the Republican party. It Is equally certain that the Republicans will not unite with the Dem­ ocratic party. What 6I1© People's Platform Offers The People'n party affords the only solution of these important matters. All who desire the revival of business, all who wish for the return of prosperity to oar country, all who desire to relieve the depressed industries and wage-workers of our common country, all who desire an adequate Increase of our currency and the free coinage of silver, all who desire the abolition of banks of issue and the constitutional control of the great in­ struments of commerce by the Government of the United States, all who desire that the laws of taxation shall be equitably adjusted to the property of the country, all who desire that the public domain shall be sacredly held in trust for the people, all who desire that the highways between the States shall be rendered subser­ vient to the popular good, and, finally, all who desire the restoration of fraternity among the people and the obliteration of sectional ani­ mosities should at once regard it as their con­ scientious duty to align themselves under the banner of this great industrial and fraternal movement. It seems to us to be quite impos­ sible that the liberal and justice-loving peo­ ple of this country should longer cast their ballots for the corporations and money­ changers. It would seem impossible that they should refuse to make common cause with tne fair-minded majority of the people of tne South, who have risen up.to demand justice and good government in their respective And It further seems quite impossible that the producers and laboring people 01 tne ef I asp ..y, -*, 12.00 Sherman and a; and reminisces necessarily strll hours--from 9 the armies of 1 stand, and the two days' pr 0^" ' thirty miles, j New York.: * .V." *1 . ^ dence, Springfield.

Following is the weather crop bulle­ tin issue ! by the Weather Bureau: Temperature--The week was warmer than usual in New England, over th& eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, the plateau regions, and on the North Pacific coast. The excess of tempera­ ture amounted to from 2 to 4 degrees in New England and from 3 to 9 degrees- In the Rocky Mountain regions, where* the week was exceptionally warm. In the upper Mississippi Valley, lake re­ gion, and along the immediate Atlantio coast nearly normal temperature pre­ vailed, while over the region from the Central Mississippi and Ohio Valleys southward to tho Gulf the week was decidedly cooler than usual, the defi­ ciencies in temperature amounting to from 3 to 6 degrees. The seasonal temperature from March 1 is normal, or slightly above, along the northern border from the Red River Valley eastward to the Atlantic coast and thence southward to North Carolina, it was also normal or above in the Vicinity of San Antonio, Texas, Santa Fe, N. M.t and Olympia, Wash. Else­ where over the country the seasonable temperatures are below the normal, the most marked-deficiencies occurring in the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys. Frosts have occurred throughout the upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and in New England have caused some slight injury to corn, which is now being generally cut. If favorable conditions continue corn will be safe in from tett days to two weeks. Cotton picking continues general, ex­ cept In Tennessee, where it has not yeft begun, and the picking of the early crop has been completed in Georgia. The week has been generally favpr- able for farm work and much plowing and seeding has been done. Precipitation--With the exception of a slight fall of rain along the North California and South Oregon coasts and a light sprinkle in Northeast Oregon, no rain fell during the week over the region from the Mississippi River to the Pacific coast. Over the greater part of the country east of the Mississippi there was more than the usual amount of rain, and from the lower lako region southward to the east Gulf coast the excess amounted to from one to three inches, being greatest in Southeast Tennessee and Alabama and on the East Florida coast. In Southern Vir­ ginia tho weekly rainfall was slightly below the average. The seasonal rainfall from March 1 Is in excess of the average in the Mis­ sissippi and Missouri valleys, in the lower lake region, portions of New En- eland and the Middle Atlantic States, and in Central and Eastern Texas, tho greatest excess occurring in the upper Mississippi valley. Happiness. Most of tjie wrong-doing in the world comes from an uneasy craving for pleasure of some soit. The de­ sire for revenge produces all kinds of malicious and hateful conduct; the yearning for gain suggests dishonesty, fraud, oppression, injustice; the ap­ petite for sensual gratification leads to gluttony, intemperance, and vice. A state of true happiness would ren­ der these cravings impossible; the higher gratifications once thoroughly enjoyed, no room would be left for the lower. The great happiness of • love annihilates revenge and malice; sympathetic pleasures extinguish self­ ish ones; pure and innocent recrea­ tions, cheerful society, and whole­ some habits preclude the temptations to vicious courses. In a word, hap­ piness, in its truest meaning and best forms, is the foe to wrong-doing* and in this sense it may be said that those who are happy are good. .. jiJe ... t. * S* t »„x«A1r .
