Stal Correspondence of The Evening Star. | Came Portarp, Sra Ginr, N. J., August 25, 1891. If there ever was a happy delegation of Dis- trict of Columbia anywhere that delegation is at Sea Girt just now.

Half an hour after its arrival the rifle team of which Washingtonians think so much was under canvas on the ficent camp ground of the National Guard of New Jersey— agrassy plain upon which a whole division of troops could easily be maneuvered. The 1,400 tents that dotted the sod but a little while ago had, with a few exceptions, been removed, but ‘enough of them were left standing to accommo- date the teams that are here to make the first annual meeting of the New Jersey State Rifle Association a success.

Goy. ABBETT's WELCOME. A sample instance of New Jersey's interest in the presence of the Washington team was seen this morning. Gov. Abbett came down to camp and into the dining ball (where the men were at breakfast) to welcome the team to the state and to proffer bis services if they could in any way be made useful by the team. It was a «ant compliment and thoroughly ap- preciated by the visitors. Not many governors would have put themselves to so much personal inconvenience for the take of being courteous toa score of strangers. Visits from officers on the governor's staff and from National Guard cers of prominence are gratifyingly fre- ut. Col. Clay will have it that he and the her Washingtonians are but vipers and that when the Jerseymen lose all their prizes to th countrymen from the District of Columbia then and not until then will Jersey become aware of the fact that those they warmed and nourished turned upon them and buried their fangs in the Jersey heart and pocket book.

The postponed naval review at Bar Harbor took place yesterday, the weather being in every way favorable. Secretary Tracy and a number of guests, among whom were Mrs. J. G. Blame, Park E. Goodwin, Col. Codman, State Senator Lispenard Stewart of New York, Gen. Alger and United States Senator Cameron, reviewed the maneuvers from the Despatch. A large number of invited guests were also aboard the Enterprise, the Chicago and Phila- delphia. At 10:15 o'clock the Despatch led the sy out of the harbor, followed by the Phila- delphia, Newark, Petrel, Vesuvius and the En- terprise in line throughout the channel inside the Bald Porcupine, and the Chicago, Cushing, Atlanta, Yorktown and the Boston outside. ticamers crowded with sight-seers fol- ed the fleet.

TALKING TO NEW ENGLANDERS. The President's Speeches on His Trip Through Vermont. When the President's train arrived at Rich- mond, Vt., yesterday a large crowd was found in waiting. The President addressed the pco- pl from the platform of the rear coach. He said: My fellow-citizens: It is a little early in the morning to begin the day by a round of speech- making, and yet I cannot refrain from saying to you how highly I appreciate your morning welcome. There is tho tonic of your fine mountain air and the glory of your sunshine in these cordial manifestations of your respect and good will. I hope no American citizen will ever begrudge the President of the United States refreshment which comes from these oc- casional visits through the country, and from that draught of good will which lie receives as he looks ito the faces and tukes the hands of these good people, who have no interest in the government other than thatit should be honestly adurinistered for the general good. Washing- ton is not always full of that kind of people. We are more certain, perhaps, to find them in the country. And yet no.one should complain of honest criticism, and perhaps fault findin, has its uses, for occasionally it must be wel grounded and disclose to us errors we might otherwise have failed to discover. | But, after all, the bracing of the good will of the people of this country is very essential to those who, in the midst of great perplexity and doubt, and under staggering responsi deavor as they see the right to do it. can do more than this, and Ilook upon the popular feature of our government, the readi- ness of communication, the nearness and famil- iarity of access which the people have with all Public servants, usa great safeguard to those who may otherwise become separated from those impulses which are, after all, the truest, the safest and the best. [Applause.] Thave had great pleasure in passing through your beautiful valley this morning. Tean mont Sincerely commend whut I see in these farms and thrifty homes. Vermont is a mountain state, and I suppose because your horizon is a little high you are more frequently than wo who live on'the plains compelled to look up. ‘That may account for a good many of the good things which we discover in the New Engiand character. A TALK AT WATERBURY. At Waterbury, the next stop, Gov. Page boarded the train and welcomed the President. Mr. Harrison alighted and made a few remarks from the station platform, being introduced by ¢x-Gox. Dillingham. ‘The Fresident spoke us follow My Friends: It is very pleasant to know that 4 public officer may travel everywhere through- out this great land of ours, and only those who have traversed it can understand how great it is, and find always his sure defense and care in the good will and respect of the people who surround him. If we bar out the irresponsible crank, so far as Ican see, a President is in no peril except that he may be killed by the super- ibundant kindness of the poopie.” [Laughter and applause.] : here seems to be an impression that his strength and capacity for speech is unfailing [laughter] and that his arm is a hickory limb, but it is very kind of all these good people of Vermont who have met me on these journeys to express so pl by yourcheers and much more by your kindly faces, the love and loyalty you have for those institutions with which the Suffrage of the people has for the time being connected me. The New England character is one which has been much written about—much discussed, and I think that even those who have found pointe for sharpest criticism have, when they adopted the Yankee method of averages, concluded that the influences emanating trom Plymouth Rock and diffusing themselves first through the New Hampshire grants and then the western reserve of Obio, and so scattering and dissemi- nating these seeds of intelligence and love of liberty throughout the land have been good for the whole country. The New England man isa man with his eyes open everywhere. Thave sometimes thought that the habit of attention, of giving the whole mind to the busi- in hand, had its very natural origin and ppment in New England agriculture. ‘The man who holds a plow inastumpy or stony field learns the lesson that he had better give his mind to the business in hand [laughter], otherwise the revenges aud punishments for inattention are so prompt and severe that he is quickly called back from any mental wander- ings into which he may Lave fal Thea occasion to sa moment fact that the mountain regions of the world had always furnished the bravest champions of lib erty and the most strenuous defenders of the faith were possibly owing to the fact that their horizon was so high thut if they looked at all they were compelled to look up. [Laughter and applause. | My countrymen, we have a great and happy land a peoplé dwelling in happy homes, and that is the origin of government, and there ix the essential of a contented citigenship. As Jong as we can preserve this independence and self-respect, and that of comfort ix the home that makes it a pleasant abode when the day's toil is ended, and that enables by the most care- ful thrift the head of the houschold to lay for the family, and to lighten in some measure the care and labor of the children that are to follow him, there can be nohappier land than ours. If we would perpetuate und secure that which we have had batded down. tous, and which we have so well preserved until thishour, this is the essential thing. I thank you for this friendly greeting and beg you to accept my sincerest good will. J can say nothing on public affairs. Every man called to public office is subject to the in- tirmities that belong to our nature—the capacity to make mistakes. He can be, if he is true, sure of one thing—that in all that'he does he has it in his mind to do the best he can for all the people. AN ADDRESS TO THE LEGISLATURE. When the train arrived at Montpelier the President was escorted to the state house. Arriving there he was taken to the governor's room. From the govei room, at 11:30, the President was escorted into the hall of the house of representatives, where the legislature of Vermont was gathered in joint assembly. ‘The membersof the legislature remained stand- ing as the President entered and proceeded to the rostrum of the presiding officer, where Lieut. Gov. Fleteber greeted him. Then, at the tap of the gavel, the members of the legislature re- sumed their seats, When quiet had been restored, Lieut. Gov. Fletcher in a few sentences intro: duced the President, who was greeted with ap- plause. ‘The President sai Mr. President and ge: ture of Vei 1 to you for this I'am glad to meet the chosen representatives of the towns of Ver- mont. If we shall ever or anywhere allow a doubt to settle into the minds of our people whether the results of our elections are hon- estly attained, whetherethe laws made are framed by those who have been properly chosen by the majority, then ali sanction is withdrawn from the law and all respect from the rulers, who by a faise ballot are placed in public office. tApplause.) 4m glad to congratulate you upon constitu- encies intelligent, devoted snd patriotic; that the state of Vermont and her sons in the eoun- cil of the nation and ox the blood-stained bat- tle fields of the great war have borne them- selves worthily. [Applause.] I am sure that we may each, from this occasion, in the dis- charge of public duty,«lraw some’ impulse to a more perfect exercise of our powers for the public good, [Applause] Leaving the hall of the house of represent- atives the President was escorted by Gov. Page to the reception room, where he shook hands with the members of the Tippecanoe Club. He then returned to the governor's room, where he received the members of the le; ture, who passed through the roam in single file and shook hands with him. FYROM THE STATE MOUSE sr} At noon Gov. Page escorted the the state house steps, where al space an enormous throng was After this the ships went through the evol while the Cushing and the V. dropped targets for practice with heavy guns. The maneuvers closed with a sham battle. Everything passed off in a very satisfactory manuer. see Kussian Exiles in Baltimore, The North German Lloyds steamer Weimar arrived in Baltimore yesterday with 566 steer- age passengers, including 150 Russian exiles— banished Hebrews. Mrs. Gertrude Brubn, one of the steerage passengers, gave birth to twins, ® boy and ® girl. The former was named “Weimar,” after the steamer, and the girl was ened Jennie. The mother is bound for Ohio and has five children besides her babies. A few of the detained Hebrews of the steamers Circassian and Slavonia were released today on bonds of $1,000 each. —<2o—___ ‘The Strike Ended and Work Resumed. The Pottsville Iron and Steel Company started their twelve-inch finishing mill at Fish- back yesterday.

[Laughter] Thave felt, in endeavoring to respond to these calls, that I was positively overtaxing my strength and, perhaps, overcrowding the press associations. (Laughicr.) Iam not naturally oasip. Teplot Tad some reputation as & taciturn mon, but it is gone. (Laughter.] Tbare uot given it up willingly. have struggled to retain it, but it has been forcetully taken from me by’ the kindness of my fellow citizens whom I have met so frequently within the last year. Perhaps, however, if Preerrgactber Virwes Kean let this one go. reat thing tobe a citizen of the United association of states is a gi. yhi- cal necessity. We can never consent that hoa tile boundaries shall be introduced, with all that visi iy. We must be one from Maine to California, one from the lakes to the gulf (applause), and everywhere in all that do- main we must ‘insist that the behests of the federal Constitution and you mean, sir, that they shall have a chance to nullify any law, and that I shall wink at the | Mullification of it, you nek that w'ich you ought not to ask and that which I cannot con- sider. [Applause.] If you mean that, obey- ing every public law and giving every other man his full righte under law and the Constitution, they shall abide in my respect and in’ the securit; and peace of our institutions, then they shal have, so far as in my power lies, an equal chance with all our people.” [Applause.] We may not choose what laws we will obey: the choice is made for us. When a majority have, by lawful methods, placed a law upon the »...t- ute book, we may endeavor to repeal it,we may challenge its wisdom, but while it is the law it challenges our obedience. [Applause.] The party then repaired to the depot, where the special train was in waiting and which left Montpelier at 1:30 p.m. At Plainfield the Presi- dent was introduced by Senator Dwinnel, and oke briefly. “I think,” said he, “that I owe a special debt to this neighborhood for a pair of good Vermont horses that Secretary Proctor selected for me, and in the driving of which I have great reldxation and pleasure. Your Ver- mont horses are well trained. The Morgan horse has the good habit of entering into con- sultation with the driver whenever there is any trouble.” [Laughter and applause.) The gentleman from whom the President had secured his horses came forward and introduced himself. The President spent the night with Col. Fair- banks and today will proceed to Rutland and Proctor, stopping for luncheon at Windsor as the guest of Senator Evarts. ———_eo THE WOKD NOT STRICKEN OUT. The Patriotic Sons of America Retain “White” in Their Constitution. The importance of the question before the convention of the Patriotic Sons of America, in session in Philadelphia, the breaking down of the color line, to which the order has steadily adhered, was plainly evidenced by the full attendence of the dele- gates yesterday. The question came up ona motion to strike out the word “‘white” in the constitution relating to the qualification of members. Common Councilman Stephen B. Gibson of the seventh ward, and a member of Washington Camp, No. 579, Philadelphia, com- posed of colored men, was accorded the priv- ileges of the floor, and for one hour made a powerful and eloquent appeal for the recog- nition of his race. ‘The sentiment of the con- vention was strongly in favor of admission, the Pennsylvanis delegation being unanimous in the colored man’s favor, but an arbitrary clause in the constitution requiring a four-fifths vote to annul or change the constitution en- abled the opposition to defeat the measure. A vote on the motion found 60 in favor and 24 against, but before the result was announced two members who voted in the affirmative changed their vote from yea to nay in order to enable them to move for a reconsideration. Among those who spoke eloquently in favor of the colored mans admission were J. H. Williams of Colorado, Col. Robertson of Illinois and ex-Congressman Brumm of Schuylkill county, and against his admission Dr. E. P. Murdoch of Chicago and J. A. Kilton of Col- orado. At the afternoon session a motion to recon- sider the question of admitting colored mem- bers to the order was put, but was tabled. ‘The tabling of the motion withuta vote was the work of the members in favor of admitting colored members, who by this device left the question still open. ‘Ihe question will probably be called up again today. ‘There were discus- sions on changes in the constitution and the ritual. ‘The following nominations of officers were made: National presidents, George P. Smith of Colo- rado and C. F. Hutto of Pennsylvania; national vice president, J. H. Williams of Colorado; masters of form, C. N. Keed of New Jersey, M.S. Evans of Kansas and H. O.

A large amount of business was transacted in regard to the repairs and improvement of the field. The ‘most important of these will be the restoration of the line of breastworks along the front of McGilvery’s artillery brigade on the left center of the federal line and the construction of the traverse along the position of Green's brigade. Indiana is the only state that had troops in the Army of the Potomac at this battle that has not made an appropriation to the association for the purpose of keeping up the monuments that have been erected to its regiments. A committee was accordingly appointed to lay the matter before the authorities of that state. These old ofticers e elected: Vice president, Col. C. H. Buhler; secretary, ©. Hamilton; treasurer, J. L. Schick, and suj the grounds and avenues, N. G. Wilson, all of Gettysburg. ‘The request of the Electric Rail- road Company for a right of way over its ave- nues was refused. A committee was appointed which will re- Port at the meeting next year the best way of illustrating at the Bloody Angle the totally in- correctand unhistorieal position now occu- pied by the monument of the seventy-second Pennsylvania regiment. ‘The association does not intend to shoulder the responsibility of its own state occupying a position to which it has ho more right than ulmost any other regiment of the federal army. The dedication of the tablet at the “high water mark of the rebel- lion” will probably occur in October, and an effort will be made to have the President, his cabinet and the governors of the states present at the ceremony. NO PLACE FOR FEELINGS, rintendent of It Wound Up the Grocer and Made Him Kick Wildly. From the New York World. There was a grocer standing before his door in Jersey City the other day, and just as I came up from one direction a forlorn-looking old man came from the other. The minute the Grocer got sight of him he called out: Now you go on, oF I'll have you ran in.” “What am I doing?” plaintively inquired the old man. “I know your game, and you can't play it on me! Just move right along or I'll have you arrested !" “I bain’t got no game to play on you or any- body else. If I feel sad and heartbroken I can’t help it, can I? What's them turnips wath? I never see turnips without thinking how my wife got choked to death on one. Poorcritter! She was cut right down in the prime of life. That was the beginning of my running dow: hill. ‘She hadn't bin dead two'weeks eo “Are you going to go on?” demanded the Grocer. “Purty soon, my friend; purty soon,” replied the old man as he leaned up against a’ post und wiped his eyes. “She was a good wife and recollection of her death saddens me. What’ "taters selling at today?” The grocer was looking around for an officer and didn’t reply. “I never sce ‘taters without thinkin’ of my son Bill. Bill was an awful good boy—too good for this world. I sent him to town with ten bags of "taters and in hfti.. them out of the wagon he busted a blood vessel and was brought home a corpse. Ikin never think of it with- out weepin’.” He leaned heavily on the post and wept, while the grocer walked down to the corner to ie his search. “I see you've got string beans?” continued the old man as ‘the grocer retucned, “They are allers asad sight to me. Isold my farm after Bill's death, and was goin’ down to Florida to raise string beans foc this market, when I was throwed ont of a wagon and broke my leg and somebody stole every dollar I had. String beans is only string beans to other folks, but to me they call up some awful recollec- tions. I wish——” “See here, old man,” interrupted the grocer, ill you take 10 cents and go on?” “I don't want no 10 cents, but yet if you ob- ject to my givin’ way to my’feelin's—” “I do object. If I could find an officer I'd have you run in, but ag I cun't I'll buy you off this once, Take this money and go.” “It seems heartless to sell my feelin’s this way, but I don’t want to make you any trouble. Isee you have some cabba w there, , Tnever ow —"" But the grocer turned him around, hended him across the street, and after two kicks he got away and was soon lost to sight. —— ee The Dog Got Away. From the New York World. She was standing on the front steps of her house on Baltic street, Brooklyn, telling two or three women how it happened. She waved a broom about her head and,sai “I was in the back bed room upstairs making upthe bed. My husband was down in the kitchen heating a sticking plaster for his sore heel. Our dog was sitting on the curbstone right out there. Suddenly I heard a rumble on the cobble stones, and I takes it for a fun- eral procession and goes ahead and turns over the mattress on the bed. Then I hears the children whooping, but I thought they had a goat. Then comes’ a equenk and howl and a ng, and I runs to the window to see the dog wagon driving of and my dog gone.” “And you screamed?” queried one of the women. “Tdid.

The prohibitionists in convention at Harris- burg yesterday adopted a platform, which, be- sides the usual planks against the manufacture of and traffic in intoxicating liquors, denounces the Baker ballot law; condemns the act pro- viding for a convention to amend the state con- stitution; declares in favor of amended natur. alization laws so that a naturalized citizen shall be allowed to vote within one year from natur- alization; arraigns the republican and demo- cratic partics for failure to execute the civil service law; favors equal taxation on all classes of property; declares that revenues from im- Ports of foreign products should be so ievied as to protect home labor against foreign labor; declares against monopolies and demunds that the money circulation of the country should be ample for its trading interests and should be increased adequately to the growth of business and population. After n brief discussion the platform, with the exception of the paragraph relating to the constitutional convention, which was stricken out, was added. The platform was supple- mented by a resolution opposing the opening of the world’s fair on Sundas ‘he nomination of candidates was next in order. W.W. Haguoof Warren was nominated for auditor general by acclamation and George Drayton of Media was nominated for state treasurer. oo —____ The Duluth Post Office. Tuesday morning Letter Carriers Thomas No- | Jan and Albert Wiley were arrested at Duluth for connection with the post office embezzle- ment. They stated that they had been encour- aged by ex-Deputy Postmaster Henry to steal over-due postage. A small deficit was discov- ered by the postmaster last June. Postmaster Howard says that in order to cover higcrooked- ness Henry abstracted from the office every one of the quarterly statements from the end of 1885 up to and including the first quarter of this year, Those affecting Mr. Howard's reg- ime were returned, however, when Henry was confronted by the officials, with the exception of some portions. Ex-Deputy Postmaster Henry, who is now at St. Paul, said yesterday he had no knowledge of the revival of the charges made aguinst the Du- luth office in June last. At that time Mr. Henry says he believes some general charge Was made in regard to slight irregularities, but Ro action was taken by the government officials. Mr. Henry declared his intention of returning to Dulutk to give the government the opportu- nity of inquiring into all transactions that passed through his hands while in office.

Primarily what an advertiser seeks is PUBLICITY for such announcements as he wishes to make. And the wider the Publicity the better, other things being equal. He might just as well put the money be pays for advertising into an old stock- ing and bury it in the back yard as to print his inducements where they will not de seen by the particular people whose attention he aims to attract. What be Should use, therefore, is THE NEWSPA- PER THAT IS READ BY THE LARGEST NUMBBR OF PERSONS LIKELY TO WANT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER. Mere EXTENT of circulation does not always insure the kind of publicity required by the advertiser. It is the QUALITY of cir- culation that telis,as well as its extent. ‘That, indeed, ts the vital factor in the problem the advertiser has to solve. Sen- Sational and scandalous cess-pool jour- nals, that are chiefly circulated in the slums of @ city, and read by the riff-raff of the town, may and often do bave a very considerable circulation, as the number of copies printed and handied indicate, but they are merely glanced at to see whether ‘the new scandal is worse than the old one, ‘and then tossed into the gutters, where they belong. They are consequently worth nothing to the men or women whose aim 1s to reach reputable and responsible peo- ple with such business announcements as they may desire to make. What is needed in such @ case is anen- ‘erprising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- fully edited FAMILY newspaper,—one ‘that can safely be put in any hands, whose Contents tell the whole world’s newsstory Of today. (not of last week or yesterday) and which 1s eagerly and profitably read | from beginning to end every day by every | member of the household, from its dual head down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies and children of the family. Such a journel is THE EVENING STAR. It has both EXTENT and QUALITY of circulation within tte field it occupies in ® greater degree thsn any other paper in the world. In these respects it is @bso- lutely without @ rival, anywhere, and there is no paper in Washington worth talking about in comparison with it In Verification of this claim, LOOK AT THE FIGURES: For the six months ending with the 30th ton of 260,000 this aggregate ts some- Repay unt fo be sollowed to have the saiue results here, § thing phenomenal, even where the city of to effect each and nor shall we publication is surrounded by prosperous ‘and populous villages and thickly settled ‘gricultural districts, as most places of that size ere. In this respect, however, is practically isolated, having few outily- ing towns subordinate to her or identified with her interests. The circulation of THE STAR 1s, consequently, almost en- Urely a HOME CIRCULATION, with o regularly delivered by carriers at the res- idence of permanent subscribers within the city where printed than any other Paper that can be named, no matter in whet city or country the same may be printed.
