(Sfo-
St. Lotjis, Oct 3. The tmount of
ill-feeling among democratic Grand
Army men over the defeat of Gen-"
eral Slocum for commander in-chief is '
extraordinary, and it is very likely to -
lead to heavy defections from the or
der among those who regard their de
feat as actuated entirely by political
motives. . Ex-Gov. ,Stoneman of Cali
fornia is to some extent the spokes
man of the Malcontents, and lie appears
utterly disconcerted by the way things
have gone in the encampment. In the .
course of a long interview on the sub
ject, he says; ' " "
"I think Gen. Grosvenor's speech in
the encampment, in which ho said that
tho Grand Army of the Republic was
greater than the president aud greater
than congress was rank' heresy. . No
man in his senses" snonld givo utter- -
ance to that assertion, ' The idea ' that
any society in',' the- country, whether
composed of military men or civD.lains
is greater than the government, is rank
treason. My understanding of the
urauu Aimy w tue xvepuuuc is viiiit
it is a fraternal society of old soldiers,
with charity for its object I think
that when that society assumes to he .
greater than congress or the president
or interests itself in political raove-
,1 it
of legislation, it is guilty of usurpa
tion. The Grand Army of the Repub-
he has nothing to do with the presi
dent's approval or disapproval of legis
lation submitted to him by congress.
I think that when the Grand Army of
the Republic, as snch interferes with
the business of the people, it is t;.me
for the people to call a halt." .
' DISEUPTIOX FAVORED.
"I think, , taking all things into
consideration that the defeat of Gen.
Slocum for commander-in-chief ought
to be sufficient to disrupt theGrand
Araay. , It is evident to my mind, that
Gen.Slocum was defeated Ijecause ho
was a democrat. No man with eyes
and ears who moved about the hotel
here during th week could fail to ob
serve that politics was behind every-
tV,ir,er T am a tnomher nf tflfl Gmild
. T-.g. - -- - - - -
Army. I joined it with the under
standing that it would have nothing .
at all to do with politics. I was qnite
sure tnai ine oniccrs w ttmr aooatmvxoir
nr thP.ir n,n;.
TT UU1V4 KT VUVOVU WVVMMUW va
AMir xmwrTAC ril t
when I see an
Slocum's record
& T Gel
and reputation defeated because
he is a aemocrat, ana an. unnnown
man chosen in his stead, I think it
about time tor tho democrats of the or
der to put on their thinking caps. Tho
Grand Army of the Republic could
not honor Gen. Slocum but Gen. Slo
cum would have honored the G. A. R.
as its commander-in-chief."
General Slocum is-almost as bitter,
I l,ut more guarded in his language.
Deputy Commander Solomon, of
California, says: "This is altogether
an absurd view to take of the situa
tion." '
An Astonished Subscriber.
The infuriated subscriber had just
rushed into the office, and a pale, spir
ituelle reporter faced him calmly and
asked him what he wanted.
"I want to know who wrote this
scurrilous article about mc."
"I did."
"You did? Sure it wasn't an error
of the compositor!" .
"Certainly.". '
'Isn't tho proof reader to blame."
"Not in the least"
Y oung man, let me embrace youf
I've been whipping editors all my life"
and you're the first one I ever raet
who did not blame the proof reader or
compositor." Chicago Times.
Notwishstanding the absorbing na
ture of the Irish question, the British
liberals find time to adopt as a- new
j and definite plank in their platform
the disestablishment cf tho state church
in Wales. It fell to Mr. Gladstone's
lot to lead the morement in parliament-
for the disestablishment of the Irish
church, andif he should live many
years longer he would probably take
the leading part in separating church
and state In Scotland and England . as
welL And this notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.
Gladstone is a good
Episcopalian.
If every boy ' in the country who
has his own way to niako in the world
"would sit down with the fact. Ion;;
enough to master it, that nothing but
hard, " honest wcrk will briiyj anything
worth having in the .world, , there
would be 'fewer young men Icoking
for gome kind of work where they
