Stocks were strong and more active. Western Unlon was noticeable for a gain of 8%, to 1174, the new stock scllinz down from 9% to 77, and elosing at 80X. This was caused by thean- nouncement of a compromise of the Hatch sults, upon which the bears bouglit freely to cover their short sales. Purchases by the bears were also the reported czuse of tha advance in St. Paul, Northwestern, Lakd'Shore.und North- ern Pacific. In the last theve wasa rise from 2% 10 463 for the common, and from 72% to 7514 for the preterred, with a subsequent reaction to 44} and 73%.

Seanlan In the Most Approved Fashion —Bir. Scanlan Writes a Mizhty Inter= esting Ilstory of Fis Connection with Carter, and Tells Some Important Things About Harvey Weeks and the Stlnk Factories. To the Editor of The Chicago Fribune, CHIcAGO, April 2.—The employés of the city, in attempting to undo the work of the under- signed in helping to defeat Mr. Harrison, are, in 2 mean and sneaking manner, where none of my friends are present, circulating the report that 1am opposing Harrison becuuse he would not appoint we to a prominent office under him. Not buving the time to see all my friends, and very few of them knowing the reai facts of Mr. Harrison's position in my personal matters, 1 beg the use of the columns of THE TRIBUNE to luy before my friends and the public in general the truth of my relations with Mr. Harrison and his with me, Firsty I wish to say that I was the first man to spenk to Mr. Harrison about being Mayor, and Qid so the day following his defeat for Congres- sional nomioadon by Miles Kehoe. Second, [ aided him in securing one of his nomtautions, which made his second domlioation a necessity.. Third, I voted for Mr. Harrison for Mayor, all of which Idid in good faith,.believing him tobe a #oud non-partisun and progressive public man. In this 1 was mistaken, and Lam doing ull Lean to correct my mistake. When Mr. Hurrison wis elected thoze men out- side the Democratic party who helped to get him nominated felt they should have o repre- sentative in his administration, and they aepu- tized elght gentlemen, not one of whom are Irishmen or Democruts, to wait on Mr. Harrlson and request hiin 1o appoint me to the position of Superintendent of Streets. When this became known, severul promirent citizens and Alder- meu,— Irish and American,—urged the cliim of the iiiependents. and advised my appointment, peudlug their interviews. 1 met Mr. Harrison severul thnes on other business, but never then, before, or after, asked bhim for a position. About the thine of Mr. Harrison's inuugural word was brought tu me by four different frieads thus r. Harrison told them Le would uppoint me to the above position, and 3r. Jumes Lane Allen, particalar friend of the Muyor, scut for me end told me that the Mayor was ubout toappolut me, and for hiin 1o find vutif 1 would give generul satisfaction. Atr. Allea told me be had reported favorably and that I would be called upon in a few days. In the meantime, with the cunving- ness vl an unseripulous politician, Harrison de- sived to kill two birds with one stone, and be had sent around among the leading Irishmen und Catholic clergy to know IF I would suit them as an Irishman und a Catholic. From all these sources he received, as I was informed, favorn- ble reports. Soon after this Mr. Harrlson sent for me, and in course of vonversation said thut he must have all the appointments in the Street Depart- ment, and In a generul way talked about the position in the way of instructions, und took me 10 introduce me to Mr. Wuller. then 1 chargeof the Depurtment of Public Works. Mr. Wuller asked me for my ideas of ruoning the depuri- ments, which he liked so well that he asked me to put them in writing, which Idid, and he bas been, in a crude way, running the department since on my plan. B in u few days afterwards 1 met Mr. Harrison on the sidewalk in front of the City Hail, and he snid to me: ** We must all put our shoulder to the wheel and prepare to elect a Democratie Presi- dent.” Ianswered him: * What! do you expect me to support the Demoeratic pariy d such men 18 Sumn Tilden 2™ *Yes,” he said, *it don't moke any dilference who §s nominated, we will have to support bim.” fsaid I was not a Demo- crat, and 1 would not do it, but in langunge much more forcible. The next daya Democrat, und o man who claimed to have the ear of Mr. Harrison, met me on Clark street, and told me [ would bave to promise loyalty to the bemocratic party before I would bo uppointed. 1gave him the same answer. The next day 1 met the same man, who tol¢ me to woto Mr. Harrison aud. ledze my loyaity to his personul intercsts, and Y-wuuld be appointed. I told Kim the day of. slnvery, was over,and Iwas the wrong person 1o muke a4 tool.of, or to muke myself subservient to the ambitions of any man, and declined to do a3 he requested. Soon after this a frieud of mine called on the Mayor on business, and after hec got through, the Mayor remarked that it surprised him bow many encmies I wis developing lately. This my friend informed me of, and that the Muyor shouid uot be permitted to blacken my character as ho did othery, I took uy friend to his house that even- ing and callad upon the Mayer for his proof of my enemies, snd offered to bet bim $5 that he could not nume one man in the Clty of Cuicuzro, of character, who bad said aught mrainst me. He then made some’ excuse, and said that no erson of any prominence hud said anything nst me, but sume person had said that about fifteen years ago Lwas connected with Fenian- 1sm, and that my record was not strictly straigit, I'then answered him that the man who s&id 30 was a linr and a thief, and if_he would not give me the name of the man I would apply this language to himselt—a linr when he so, and & thief that he attempted to Steal my churacter, Mr. Hurrison then sald it was onsy in a formul manner be heard §t, and s2id It was Mr. Waller who told him so. I told Mr. Harrison that [ wus no Democrat, my friends did not ask him fora position forme us # Democrat, und I wanted him 10 understand then and there that he did not have enough of positions in his gift to buy tie smullest priociples 1 possessed. The next morning several of the old Fenlans, learning of the inTamous charge thar Mr. Her- rison had saia was brought to his notice, called ir. Waller (amony them was Capt. C. P. upo; C. l\l‘«’:l{ne. Deanis 0'Connor, and George Fleming, men who are always ready todefend the repu- tation of the old Fenlans, as I would be to de- fend them regurdless of our difference in poli- ties),and demanded the name of the mmn who bad given him such Information. Mr. Waller said that it wus the first time he bad heard of such thing; that he had never made sucha riatement to Mr. Harrison, #nd he could uot i€ he would, us from every_corner came tho-very ‘best indorsement of My. Seanlan, 1 then requested wy {riends not to waste time on n man who, while Mayor, could sink so low as 10 attempt to biacken the character of a_ citizen simply because his friends bud recommended bim for a position. & About this time some business trunsaction which my brother, Mortimer Scanlan, had with Mr. Harvey T. Weeks, the partuer of Mr. H‘“li Tison, and the man who pulls_ the strings behin tho dcenes, culminated. The public wiat 10 understand that my brotier was for ’ years rt proprietor vf_a large fertilizing estal g;‘cnzpnt Fhe Stock-Ynrds, and believed that that business, like all other business, should be run on its werits without tne ald of subsidizing offi- cials. When Mr. Harrison came into qfiice T plnced the situntion of the Stock-Yurds ques- tion before him, and urged him, if he. desired success in public life, to run tho Health portment in the interest of the people, whether In that case-we could continue ich or puor. Flisintss, and without that mode 1o poor o rich man, outside a certain’ riug, could do business. He promised to_lovk Intoit. Mr, Weeks came down frum Mr. Harrison's bouse with me, and inquired further into the workings of the Stock- Yards, and requested me to have my brother meet him the next day at Burke's Hotel, whicl _soelal problems a3 does fpdustrial coSperntion. resulted In several mcetings, at one of which I beurd Harvy T. Weeks say: “Go on: Ican control the Administration against Hell.”, Tho result of these mectings was that Mortimer Scanlan went to work ‘o organize & large com- enny, of which Weeks was to be a partoer. Wien the parties who were to make up the firm camo together, sickuess in Mortimer Scalan’s family prevented him from be- ing present at all the preliminary meetings, on account of which he placed his interest In the hands of Harvey T. Weeks in trust as a friend. When he was able to return - to work he found the eharncter of Wecks was what Harrison will find out one of these days,—that he picks the bones of bis friends bare, and then closes the ac- count nll on his own side. In fact, Mr. Weeks thought he had learned ‘all Mortimer Scanlan knew, und had orgunized the irm and left him (Mortimer Scanlan) out, which resulted in a suit before the Couris. Mr. Weeks, thinking that he bad my appotnt- meat to seal Mortimer Scanlan’s mouth or the secrets tnwn:sed between them, presente: the following atlidavit for his signature; A (Copy.] State of Tilinois, Cook Cuunty, ss.: Mortimer Seanian, Deing frst duly sworn on oath, says thur Hurvey 1 Weeks did not at uny time ¢ ay, OF In any ma: ner intimato th me.nor have L ever hened it stated by Ny PErson OF persons as coming from Mr.\Weeks, that. for any considerntion, larse or small, the Lnion Iendering Company, of any cther company or per- syn3 couid control the Board of Hcaltn of tae City of Chicago. - st by Subscrited and sworn to before me this — day of Notary Public. May, A. D. 15, Mortimer Scanlan asked Mr, Wecks If he thought he (Scanlan) was a fool. * Mr. Weeks an- swered and snid: * No; but if you do_not sign. and wicear to that afidavit your-brother John can- 1wt get the position of Superintendent of Strects! Mortimer Scunlun took the paper and an- swered, *1f John F. Scanlan cannot et u posi- tion until I perjure myself, then John does not want u position.” E 1 now hold the would-be afidavit, in the band- writinz of Harvey T. Weekss, and if there arc any citizens who donot believe that there i3 = combination between the City Adwministration and the stink-factories, then let them come to me and see Mr. Weeks' handwriting, and ask, Why was it that he, the partuer ot the Muyor, wanted Mr. Scanlun to swear to such a condition of things a3 be intimated in the above paper? Now, to my friends I want to say I pever asked Mr. Herrison for a position, butI could buve had a position if I would be 2 Democrat,— which I refused. I could buve bad o Yoslfinn if I would be Car- ter's personal political toot,—which I retused. - 1 could have hud a position if Mortimer Scan- n would perjure himself,—which be and I in- ignantly refused to do. ,'J.‘uls Is'the truth of my relations with Mr. Har- riron. Atter I found that this man Harrison was so low that be wus likely to staln the churacter of any man who would remain in contact with him, I resigned tae position 1 held in the eity yader Mr. Heanth's Administraton, and in placiog my resignation {u the bands of Mr. Harrison, I told him* I could not remain under the Aaministra- tlon of 1 mun who would. because 1 could not be 1 tool of bis, try to Injure my personal charac- ter; that b was u dungerous man, and I would do all I could when the time came to undo for toe City of Chicairo the barm I had doue by help- Ing to elect bim to be Mayor.” Iam doing that now, and ask all my friends to vote apuinst Cur- ter H. Harrison, the * charncter blackener.” and vote for John M. Clark, the workingman's friend. Joux F. SCANAN. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. One Word More About Ircland. | o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. CrIcaGo, Aprii 2.—So much bhas been-said of late nbout lreland—her past history, her wrongs, her sufferings, ber trialy, and her martyrdoms— that noy further remarks may appear to be en- tirely uncalled fer, superfluous, and unaccessa- Iy, The excited state of her affairs of late years has been such 23 reusonubly to invite the atten- tion of the ctvilized world, solicit sympathy, und tura the tido of public opinion strongly in her tavor. Ineveryage andin every country, the more civilization expands oppression grows wenker; despotism and tyranny wither beaeath the sun of knowledge. Every expregsion of sympathy from foreign quarters has a stroog and telling effect upon the ultimate triumph and success of Ireland. Public oplalon isa wizhty power which is mighty difficult to over- come. The publiccan never be too well in- formed on the subject of Ireland'scondition; therefore It Is always essential to Keep tnis sub- ject grec in the minds of the people, 50 that we may win golden opinions fn our favor and get the world to glve verdict against Eogland and lundlordism. ‘The dilferent branches of the Land League have done 4 good deal in this dircetion, but, the work is not half done, and further and untiring exertions are entirely necessars. Let e ditferent branches of the Land League meet oftener und sce that nothing is left un- done that might in any way prove beneficial to their cuuse. There ig no earthly use in talking eternully and forever of the direful wrongs Ireland bas enduren; as some of our orators are uccustomed to do. 18 it not better for them to puint out ciearly, plajnly, uninistakably the pathof duty. Point out the muny rievinces under which she laborsat present and the course to be adopted in order' to redress them. Unity is success. Disunlon is alwass followed by di feat. Therefore if the Irish people would com- mund success it is nccessiry for them to be united, to be resolute, to be “determined, act with uatiring will, snd prove to the worid that, though the spirit of Ireland may be bruken, it still lives. 1. C. SRANNON. Lack of Physlical Exerclise in Our Pub- * lic Schools. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Crrcago, April 2.—~While Chicago people ought to be proud and thankful for the state of perfection to which our public school system hus been brought, still-in one very important branch there is room fpr great jmprovement; this i3 in calisthenics. Attenton is given to brain-work to sometimes almost the total exclusion of bodily exercise. School-children’ between ™ the ages of 8 and 12 are constantly growing, and should Lave fre« quent chaoge of position. Physical exercise ought to.bo enforced and receive us much at- llP[lL!'.n: and marking as aoy other study. But gitso? . ! Teachers and pupils aliike, with few excep- tions, are indiffcrent on this subject, and con- slaer physical exercise a bore. and, while it Is on tho school program, it s very seldom goac through with, or, If enforced, it is usually only a form, the participants going through the ex- erclses in_a useless. weary way, and oftentimes not rising from their seats. But even this is better than no exercise at all. The way the exercises are carried on at the op- tion of the teacker is all wrong. There ure instances where puplis about 10 years of agesit from 9 tilt 11:45 o’clock (two hours and threc-quarters) without rising from their seuts or in any way changing their posi- tion except onec, when euch scnolur rises in turn for a minute to reclts one lesson, instruc- tions being sriven them to sit in position without moving their 1imbs, or receive errors. This Is nearly torture, und the eifect very bad upon mm the present and the futuro of the scholar’s . If the Bonrd of Education were required to sit even two hours in the state described, { am sure they would then so0n devise Somo tneuns to en- force a proper exercise. Something ought to be done about it, and done at once. 1 hope these few words will stirup rhe sub- Ject and sowme goud resuli. MaTILDA. Co=operative Stores for Workingmon. To the Editor of The Chicago, Tribune. CiIcAGo, April 2.—No system yec devised solves to as great an extent many of the gravest In this afe agreed muny of the wisest thinkers, staesmen, and philantiropists, both in Europe and Ameriea, such us John Stuart 3(ill, the Hon. W. E. Gladstone, * Rictard Cobden, Thomes Hughes, Q. C., the Lord Bishop of Durbam, the Hon.Josiuh Quincy, the Rev. Robert Coliyer, Wendell Pbillips, and many others. The writer, wishing simply to call public at- tention to this most potent system and Invite |- discussion, will only notice briefly a few points of interest: ] « “Tho freest Governments,” says Webster, “cananot long endure where the tendency of the laws is to create a rapld necumulation of prop- erty fn the hand3 of few, and to render the musses of the pacple poor and dependent.” Permanent security, prosperity, and civil peaco cannot lonz continue whon the substance of the peuple is precarious, and where they live from band to mouth, without uny reserved resources. Under existing tonocinl and industrial ar- rangements, sudden depression of trade or pauic may at any time arrive and lind the zreat ma- Jority with no savuwgs 1A hand. From various Ccuuses the masses do not or cannot accumulate capital. ) % "Fho resutts of tho practice of codperation has ‘been to produce a murked chanwe in the bablts and characteristics of the industrial clusses,— thrift, thoughtfulness, seif-reliance, temper- ance, # clearer conception of the true relations between labor and cupital, and '» zeal for soclal progress, seif-help and independence. The results already attained by codperation In Eogland should make every statesman and philanthropist in our couatry eurnestly desire to promote its growth bere. Tbose who have studied the subject most anticipute yet greater results. They believe that & plan will soon be devised g{napnlflm’ the eccumuluted savings of the members of cosperative socleties 8o that they may buve capltal in rfn-oduv.-x(ve industry, recelve 2 shire. of its profits ns well as wages, become posfessed of .land and’ dwellings. and have uccess.to many of the higher blessings of civiltzadon,: from which the Inusses are now shut out. * X i Such change would place socléty on’'a more secure foundation, lntroduce- harmony between capitalists and luborers, diffuse well-being, com+ etency, and content among the popuiation at arge. It would be well worth many efforts and great m h | CGoperation progresses slowly among the ig- | 8acrifices to bring about such results. To ac- complish this, the aim. and work of ci-ope ation st be made more widely known than at present. norant and apathetic unless vigorous steps are taken to make its benetits thoroughly-and wide- Iy known. It may make a great* difference to the futare of our conntry whether or not the people be made tamliar with this system. A rend( discordant mutterings are beard on every hand, aud {tJsbigh time public attention was turaed in this direction. Less than forty years ago over 8) per cent of the wealth of this coun- try was in the hunds of the producing classes; at present they possess about 36 per cont of ft. At this rate of absorption and nccumulaticn in the hands of. the few ot the wealth of the land, and we will soon reach the inevitable collapse véml bas always befell nations uader like condi- ops.

It i3 not expected that all should take an active purt in coGperative work, but ai can help by oceasionally attending u public meetig or expressing their approval in private, whica would render great service to the cause. There is some Intent bostility to codperation, because its true character and aims are misun- derstood,—a knowledge only being had through 8purious coperators, trading on the wood name of the system. If well-known men in whom public confi- dence is felt were associated for the purpese of extending u knowledye of true Rochd.tle cobper- atlon it would be'the means of establishing {t onafirm footing in Cbicagv, whea the system would rapldly g-cw and expand, 83 it hasin England, where tuere are nuw but few cities and towns without their codperative socicties, saving thelr members last year over #10,009,000. Jonx R. MARKLE. VERIFIED FACTS. : A IMPORTANT STATEMENT. Boston Globe, March 22, 3Blost of the readers of this paper will remem- ber an article published in our columns some time since rezarding the remarkable ¢ of Mr. B. F. Larrabee, of the New York & b.ston Dis- vatch Express Company. Mr. Latrabes bad been given up to die by anumber o « - best ‘physicians, his trouble being Bright's di ....;e of the kidoeysin its most aggravated form. To- day he is as well end healthy-uppearing & man 43 can be found upon our streets, and.a goodly portion of his time is spent in answering letters uand inquiries regarding his case, and In telling of the wonderful power which saved his life, re- stored his bealth, and has kept him well ever since. These ure facts which any one can readily verify by communlcating with Mr. Larrabee. In this connection there1s an important fact which we speclully desire to state. Whea we published the account of Mr. Lurrabee’s re- markable rccovery wmaoy people sald: *“Oh, that is pald for.” People seem williug to rend column after column about the sufferings of hu-~ manitr aad the horrors of disease, but as soon Qs 2 newspaper, {n the interests of its readersand bumanity. puints out a pure and valuable remedy for alleviating these sufferings or of curing these diseuses, they say: **Oh, that !5 pnid for.” This is all wrong. We know whereof we aflirm regarding Mr. Larrabec’s casc, and koew it at the time we published it, and the present case of Dr. Whitney, which follows, is of precisely the same naturc. We have friends who have been cured, and from personal knowledge we atirm a3 wedo. The newspaper is the servant of the public, and as such should study the public needs. Bright's disease has ever been consid- ered an absolutely fatal complaint, but -from the remarkablo cases which have come under var observation we do not hesitate to pronounce it curable. even in its finat stagzes.
