She encountered a heavy wind early Monday morning oil the Bea vers, and at 4 p. m. the sea had increased so that it was impossible to steer her, and three hundred barrels of pork were thrown overboard, but without helping her much.

Progress of tlio Western Trip of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland—Their Train a Palace on Wheels—Enthusiastic Greetings All Along tiie Houle—'The President Makes a Speech nt Indianapolis—A Quiet Sun day at SL Louis. Washington, Oct I.—President Cleveland and Mm Cleveland began their tour of tho West and South yesterday. Their departure from Washington was under a bright sky and pleasant auspices. The special train bearing the small and select party left the Baltimore & Potomac depot promptly at 10 o’clock. The traveling party consisted exclusively of the President and Mrs. Cleve land, Messrs. Ilissel and Bryant, and Colonel Liftnont, P. V. De Graw, tho repre sentative of |the United Press; F. T. Bick ford, of the Associated Press, and Superin tendent Baldwin, of the Pullman Palace Car Company. The train looked very handsome In its new paint and glistening bronze fittings. Through the plate-glass windows could be seen baskets of jacqueminot roses, and other cut flowers, which had been provided v»y Ur Pullman. The President' and Mrs. Cleveland occupy the private coach of Mr. George M. 'Pullman, which Is a veritable palace on wheels. One com partment has all the appointments of an elegant drawing-room, and the portion de voted to sleep is as handsomely furnished as the bed-room of the mansion of a million aire. Ila's were raised and waved by friends and spectators in the depot as the train moved out, and to these salutes both the President and Mrs. Cleveland responded by bowing and smiling until ont of sight Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. I.— The Presiden tial excursion train arrived here on time last evening. Tiie party was greeted by largo and enthusiastic crowds at all the stations along the road. At Baltimore calls wee made for the President to step out upon tiie platform, but he refused to do so, the train making a stop of only five minutes. At Harrisburg Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland came out of the car and stood on the platform, bowing in response to the plaudits of tho large crowd which had gathered. At Mifflin and Mount Union the in habitants came out in force and cheered the excursion. At Huntington flags were liberally displayed and the steam whistles of the town tooted their loudest At Lewis tion Junction was gathered a large number of villagers. Just before reaching this city the Presi dent expressed himself as delighted at his reception by the people. For hours previous to the time fix< d for the arrival of the train here tho streets leading to the depot were liter ally jammed with people. The train was twenty minutes behind time, but this fact did not create any apprehension for its safety, for it was known to every one that orders had been given for it to have the right of way over all of the trains on tho load, and, being in the hands of trusty train-men, little fear of an accident was 'folk The delay was- caused by a stop at ■'Homewood, in the .city limits, for fully twenty minutes, to witness the illumination of the natural gas stand-pipes, which, from a height of nearly 120 feet, sent a pillar of fire fully fifty feet above the pipe.

This city was elaborately decorated Tho President and Mrs. Cleveland were escorted through cheering crows to the capitol by an imposing civic and mili tary procession. Governor Gray welcomed the Chief Executive to Indiana in a short speech, and the President replied briefly, congratulating both the State ami the city in well-chosen terms. In concluding, Mr. Cleveland aliuded to the late Vice-President Hendricks, as follows: ‘‘l um at this moment much impressed with another thought connected with this place, its suggestion can not fail to awaken in your minds an affectionate sentiment, and its subject directs the interested attention of the nation to this spot. Here lived and died a man—your neighbor, and your friend whose namo wa3 a house hold word throughout the land, trusted and respected by his fellow men and by them invested with the highest civic trusts. A loyal, true son of your State,'mid his honors he nev er forgot the people of Indiana and his fellow townsmen of Indianapolis. And while he loved you well, ho brought honor to you by his faith ful discharge of the functions of public office, and by a firm devotion and adherence to patriotic principles. All will join you in the re spect you chcri.-U for his memory and the kind ly tender thought of the people of the land will always turn to your city as the place whore your dist nguisbed citizen lived and died, and ■where rest his remains among the surroundings he so much enjoyed.” St. Louis, Oct 3.— After the speech making at Indianapolis Saturday the Presi dent shook many people by the hand. He then, accompanied by his wife, called on Mrs. Hendricks and lunched with her. After a brief call on ex-Senator and Mrs. Mc- Donald, the party again took the train. A brief stop was made at Terre Haute, and tho party was welcomed by Senator Voor hees and ex-9ecrctary of the Navy Richard w. Thompson, the President responding with a short address. The trip was then re sumed, stops being made only for coal and water until this city was reached at 11:45 p. m. The party was met by a recaption committee at East St. Louis,and was driven across the bridge, two solid masses of cheering humanity lining the way. A banner stretched across the bridge at the Missouri line bade (them “welcome to Missouri.” .The city was splendidly illumi nated. The night was spent at the home of Mayor Francis. Sunday morning at 10 o’clock President C eveland and Mayor Francis, ac companied by their wives attended services at the Washington Avenue Presbyterian Church, where a sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Brookes As the party passed from the carriage to the door of the church the assembled spectators uncovered their heads, but made no other deni^is ( ra tion. A visit to Shaw's Botanical Gardena occupied the afternoon, and the evening was passed quietly at the mayor’s home: RIDING OLD HOBBIES. Tlio Sickening; Taint of Rottenness Wliich Permeates the Republican I’arty. Regard for the freed men and the soldiers arc two hobbies tlio Republi cans ride with a persistency that is wearisome, and about tho next move they will ride it entirely out of them selves. They see their support from these two quarters gradually dropping away from them, and why? Simply because the war and tho issues grow ing out of it are settled, and whatever may have been their importance in their time they were distinctly of that time, aro now a part of the history of the country, and can not he reacted amid the pressing demands of a new and advanced generation. The sol diers have won their victories, and they turn from their deeds of valor in war to the not loss heroic conflicts of peace. Tho Republican par ty does not own them, and while a grateful nation delights to honor them and repay them so far as it can the loss of limb and health, it is wisdom to behold that this comes from no one party, and the promises of unlimited pensions made these valiant and loyal men, with a hope to win their political support, is an insult to their patriot ism and unworthy any party. The granting of pensions has been on the most broad and liberal basis. There is not a disabled veteran or one unable comfortably to provide the means of sustenance, whose disabilities are properly the result of his service, in all this land who does not receive a pen sion or who could receive one on prop er application. No one is willing to pluck a single leaf from the soldier’s crown. He should receive and does receive all honor and all equitable provisions for comfort, but there is a point were his own good citizenship demands all this fuss about pensions to stop. This Nation will never see one of these deserving men suf fer, and they know it or should know it, and in its desire to pro vide for the worthy, some undeserv ing pensioners are living on the bounty of the Government. But poli ticians see in the veteran army an “element” and they must bid for its support. The lowa Republicans in their platform hau» thrown open the following plank, “This Government, saved from destruction and treason by the patriotism (ind valor of the Union soldiers, can not afford in justice or honor to deal less than justly with them. It should cordially and prompt ly bestow, as an obligation of the Gov ernment and not as a charity, liberal pensions to all disabled or dependent soldiers, and to the dependent widows and children of soldiers.” This elastic word “liberal” stands in pale contrast to the demand for retrenchment and reform. But when we look upon all such as this as a political dodge, meant only to catch votes —a means resorted to over and over again with results so well known, we find no cause for won der at the threatened party dissolution. There is no use for it, but it is sinking through its own weakness, and if it re lies, as it has done, on questions long settled as a means of gaining support from a new generation, it will fail just as surely as those issues are of the past. Chicago Current (Ind.) •* A GREAT MISTAKE. General Rosecrans’ Comments on the Position of the G. A. U. General ltosecrans has been prom inently identified with the Veterans’ Union and was the spokesman of that association in carrying President Cleveland the assurance of its respect when the childish partisan conduct of certain Grand Army men made it necessary. Because of this action tho General and the organization which he repre sented have jjjeen, denounced by the partisan who were sorely re buked for their intemperate conduct, by this action. The charge is now made that the Veterans’Union is be ing used by Democrats for partisan purposes, and that it was organized in political antagonism with the Grand Army organization. This charge General Rosccrans him self denies and in this connection shows that the Grand Army was not at first and was never intended to be a political organization. But that it has grown to be such an organization he admits, and deprecates the fact that the Republican politicians seem to have captured it. The General further gives figures to show that the Grand Army would be to-day a much more powerful organi zation in point of numbers, and in fact in every respect, if it had not inter meddled with such unworthy political designs, and he draws tho conclusion, and every soldier who has the good of the Grand Army organization at heart will agree with him that “it is a great mistake to play pranks in this way with so fine a foundation as the Grand Army had to start on.” — Harrisburg (Ha.)

The Ohio Man’s Severe Arraignment of Jame* G.’a Voracity. Governor Foraker, in his speech bo foia some of his Ohio constituents, was led, in his desire to make points against President Cleveland, inio wlu*i was really a severe arraignment of Mr. Blaine’s political veracity. Ia order to show that the Dcmocratio President is responsible for a new out* break of disloyal feeling in the South, which the Ohio Governor pictures as existing to-day, ho allowed himself to draw a delightful sketch of the quiet loyalty that had grown up in tho Southern States during the Republican Administrations at Washington. But on November 18, 1884. before the in auguration of President Cleveland, Mr. Blaine, smarting under his finally* acknowledged defeat, made a speech at Augusta, Me., outlining the future course of the Republican party, which amounted practically to fitting it ont with a supply of new bloody shirts. To show the difference in the pictures of the South as it was in 1884 drawn by Foraker and Blaine, wo bring somo of their sentences together: forakhu. The war between the North and South had been ended twenty years when ho became President, During that time tho prejudice that had led to it had almost completely faded away, and both at the South and at the North it was difficult to find any trace of the bitterness that had been engen dered by the great con flict. Tho people of the South had como to see and concede tho error of their cause. On all sides, especially among the ex-soldiers of the Confederacy, there was a growing feeling of pro found thankfulness thut they had been beaten in battle, and that, as a consequence, slavery had been destroyed and they had been saved to be a part and to enjoy the blessings of tho Union. The results of tho war were, In short, coming to be every where recognized and accepted, and upon the basis of their accept ance tho sections were becoming more securely bound together in union than they had ever been before. It was believed that the day was not far dis tant when the South, recognizing the justice and equity that wore involved, would, with u creditable pride in do ing what was right, ac cord to even the most humble colored man the full enjoymont, at the ballot-box and other wise, of all the rights guaranteed by the Con stitution. Whether Governor Foraker has for gotten all about the Augusta speech oi Mr. Blaine, or whether his zeal as n Sherman man now leads him to hasten to point out the fallacies of his former chief, we shall not attempt to decide. —N.

So far as the nomination of Fred erick Grant is due to the thought that his hereditary name will command sup port, it is a piece of snobbishness un worthy of any great American party. — N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. When Wales, at Homburg, de manded to be regaled with tho sight of a typical American, Blaine disclaimed the honor but sent for Depew, who in turn protested and called in ex-Govcr nor Alger, of Miohigan. The last named was fain to admit the soft im peachment and pose feu - his Highness’ delectation. In admitting that he was not a type of American citizenship Mr. Blaine showed greater candor and more consideration for his country’s good name than has characterized his previ ous performances.— Chicago Herald. Tuttle Repudiated. The views of Tuttle, Fairchild and the others may be popular in lowa and Indiana, but in other communities they do not have much support. That this is true the following resolution adopted by the Kerwith Post, tho largest npd most influential in New Haven, Coru., may be offered as evi dence: "Resolved. That th’s post disapproves and condemns any demonstration of disrespeot against the Commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, believing- as wa do that the spirit of loyalty in tho past is still the spirit that holds the Grand Army of the Republic as an organization free from political strife; and we condemn the action of any mem ber or members of the Grand Army of tho Re public who would attempt to turn the organic zation Into a political machine.’’ The old soldiers are beginning to sea how foolish they have been in allow ing themselves and their organization to be used as the tools of politicians who caro no more for the Grand Army than they do for decency.
