The Young Men's Demooratic Olub of New York Entertain Him. New Yomrk, May 27.—The Young Men's Democratic club of this city extended a ban- quet of welcome to ex-President Cleveland, at the Fifth avenue hotel, this evening. Nearly five hundred of the leaders of the democratic party were present. The cheers were long and loud when the ex-president entered the banquet hall. He submitted to the handshaking of the guests for an hour be- fore taking his seat at the table. Cleveland was dressed in sombre black. There was more of the glow of health in his face than at the time he retired from the presidency. He appeared in the best of spirits. All the factions of democracy were represented at the banquet. When the presiding oficer introduced Mr., Cleveland there was & farore of applause Wwhich threatened to overstep all bounds, When quiet was finally restored Mr, Cleve- land began his speoch, He said: ‘‘Many incidents of my short residence in this good city have served to ill my cup of gratitude and to srouse my appreciation ot the kindni and consideration of those with whom have made my home. The hospitality for whlch the citizens of New York have long been distinguished, has_out- done itself in my welcomo, and yet I can truly say that none of these things will be more vividly or gratefully remembered than the opportunity afforded me by this occasion to greet the political friends I see about me. While I believe no one is morasuscentible than I am ot every personal kindness, and while I am sure no one values more his personal friendship, it_certainly should cause no surprise when 1say these things are not more cherished than my attachment, and loyalty to the true democratic faith and my obligations to the cardinai principles of its party organizations. I have been honored by my party far boyond my deserts. Indeed, no man can deserve its highest honors, After six years of public service I return to yo my party friends. Six years have I stood your representative in state and nation, and now I take my place again in the ranks more convinced than ever that tlie cause of true democracy is the cause of the people, their safeyuard and their hope. Icome to you with no excuses or apologies and with no confes- sion of disloynlt\y. t is not filvnn to man to meet all the various and conflicting views of his party duty and policy which prevail in an organization where individyal opinion is so froely tolerated as in the democratic party, and yet when they are honestly held and ad- vocated they should provoke no bitterness or condemnation, but when they are dishon- ostly proclaimod, as a mero cover and pre- text for personal resontment and disappoint- ment, they should be met by the exposure and contempt which they deserve. No man can lay down the trust which he has held behalf of 8 generous and confiding people and feel that at all times he has met in the best posaible way the requirements of his trust, but he is not direlict in duty if he has conscientiously devoted his efforts and his judgment to tho people's service. *1 have deliberately piaced in close con- nection loyalty to democratic principles and devotion to the interests of the people—for, in my view, they belong together, and should wean the same thing, but in tnis day of par- tisan feeling and attachment it is well for us to pause and recall the truth that the only justificatidn for the existence of any party is the olaim that in principle and performance its object and purposes are the promotion of the public good, and the advancement of the welfare und prosperity of the eatire country. There never was a party platform or decla- ration of principles which did not profess these things and make them the foundations of a party creed, and any body of men who should openly proclaim they were asso- ciated together for the express purpose of gaining supremacy in the govern- ment with the sentment of distribut- ing the ofces and spoils of victory among their associates would be treated with ridiculo and scorn. Thus are we brought face to face with the proposition that parties should no more than individuals be untruth- ful and dishonest. Of course, in the suprem- acy of a party there are advantages to its members, and this is not amiss. But when high party aims and professions are lost sight of or abandoned, and the benefit of ofice holding and personal selt ure all that remain to inspire party activity, not only is the confidence of those relied on for patriotic support forfeited, but elements of cohesion and of effective and lasting political strength ure gone. .M The honest difference of opinion that must always exist upon gueltlons of principle and public policy shauld furnish abundant occa- sion for the existence of puarties and point out cheir fleld of usefulness, ‘Wheu we soelk for the cause of the perpet- uity of the democratic party and its survival through every crisis and omergency and in the face of all opvosition, we find it in the fact that its corner stone is laid in devotion to the rights of the people and in sympathy with all things which tend to the advance- mentof their welfare and happiness. Though heresy may have sometimes crept into its organization, and though party conduct may at times have been influenced by the shifti- ness which 1s the nabitual device of its oppo- nents, there has always remained deeply imbedded in its nature and character, that spirit of true Americanism and that love of popular rights which has made it indestructible in disaster und defeat and has contributed it a boon to its country in its time of triumph and supremacy, Happily the party creed which we profess is not within such narrow lines that obedienco does not permit us to move abreast with the ad- vanced thought of the country and to meet and test every question and apply principle to every situation, “True democracy, staunch in its adhesion to fundamental doctrine, is at the same time in a proper sense progressive. “True democracy honestly advocates a national brotherhood, to the end tnat all our fellow countrymen may aid in the achisve- ment of the grand destiny which awaits us 28 & nation, and 1t condemns that pretext of liberality and harmony which when partisan advantage is to be gained, gives way to in- flammatory appeals to sectional hate and passion. It does not favor the multiplication of oftices and salaries mereiy to make par- tasans, nor the use of promise and bestowal of place for the purpose of stifling the press and bribing the ple. It seems to lighten the burden of lifo in every home and to take from the citizens for the cost of government, the lowest.possible tribute. “Wo know wo haye expoused the cause cg right and justice. We know weo have no permitted duty to the country to wait upon expedience. We know we huve not traficked our principles for success. know wo have not deceived the people with false promises and preteases, and we know we have not corrupted nor betrayed the poor with the money of the rich. Who shall say - these things promise no reward and that triumph shail not follow the enlightened ‘judgment and sober second thought of our countrymen. ‘“There are to-day no weak, weary and despondent members of true democracy, and there should be mnone. Though! ful attention to polivical topics 18 thoroughly aroused. Events are duy by day leading men to review the reasous for their hasty uftiliations, and supporters of principles are constantly recruited by intel- igent, young and sturdy adherents. Let us deserve their contidence, and shunning all ignoble practices, let us remain steadfast to lemocratic faith and to the cause of our country. If we are true and loyal to these, the day of our triumph will surely and quickly come and our victory shall be fairiy and nobly won through the ‘invincible spirit of true democracy.” e They Ate Dog Steak.

CrioAo, May 97.~|Special Telegram to Tre Bre. |—The hearing in the rate cases on live hugs and the dressed beef products be- gan this morning in the Palmer house be- fore the inter-state commerce commission. The hearing was the result of complaints wade by John P. Squire, of Boston, and the Chicago board of trade, charging discrimina- tion against tho railroads, in that they made higher rates on live hogs than on the dressed products. The complaints being practically the same, it was at first decided to hear the cases togother, Chairman Cooley, Colone¢l Morrison and General Bragg wore the members of the commission present. - Judge Wilson, of Bos- ton, appeared for John P. Squire; Judge Sid- ney Smith and J. K. Monroe for the Chicago board of trade; Cummins & Wright for the fowa packers, and Gage, Ladd & Small for the Kansas City packer: The John P. Squire caso was first on the docket, Judge Wilson opening for the plain- tifft. This case was against the Chicago east-bound and trunk line roads. Judge ‘Wilson opened his case by stating that he ‘would prove the following propositions: 1. Live hogs can, and should be, trans- ported at less rate than dressed proauct. 2. The rate on dressod hogs should at least be the same as dressed beef. 8. The rate on dressed hogs should be at least as nigh as that on live hogs. 4. The rate on live vattle is, and should be, less than that on dressed beef. Judge Smith opened for the board of trade and made the general statement particular- ized in the formal complaint that the present rates on live hogs were higher from Missouri river and Towa points than on the aressed product. The formal complaint was then read. Mr, Cummins, of Cummins & Wright, opened for the Iowa packers by saying, ho intended to prove the following : 1. The present rates have been in effect for twenty years, 2. Chicago packers are at no d!sadvantage on account of the present rates. 8. There is no disproportion in the rates. 4. The rates are now equitably established. Paul Morton, general freight ngent of the Burlington, testified in substance that it costs as much to run_ refrigerator as live stock cars, or more. . There is as much risk in transporting dressed meat as in transport- ing live stock. In oase of wreck, if total, the dressed meat loss would be higher. Or- dinarily the loss might be less. Salt and ice used on dressed beef are transported froe. The Burlington owned aboutone-third of the refrigerator cars.run on its lihe. For those not owned, the Burlington and all western roads paid a cent a mile both ways to the owners, as mileage. At the present time about two-thirds iof the live stock cars go back empty. Sometimes hardly any went back empty. On cross-examination Mr. Morton said: ;1 that he did not know any Iowa packers who owned refrig- erator cars. Almost any Burlington engine could haul sixteen or: seventeen loaded re- frigerator cars., In weighing live hogs 500 pounds is deductedfrom the net weightto give shippers the benefit of tho doubt. He could not say what provortion of live hogs die in transit. Less die since the weighin, system went into. effect, as shippers lo: cars much ighter. The average weight of u car load of hogs: s 17,000 pounds; that of a car of Rckluz-hmue‘ roducts was about 2,800. e cost of unloading a car of live hogs is very slighte - © At the aftérnoon~.session the witnesses were Superinteudent Becler, of the Burling- ton; Car Accountant Lure, of the North- western; Mr. Dee, of the Chicago Packing and Provision company; Chairman Moore, of the Chicago Car Service association, and Nels Morris, of Chicago. It was brought out that tho delay in unloading live stock cars was much less than thatof dressed meat cars. ‘That at present there was aoout the same risk in transporting live hogs and cat- tle, and that live stock cars cost about $450 aud refrigerator cars about $850. Chairman Walker’s decision on the appli- cation of the Alton road to reduce the Missouri river lumber rate fromn sixwen to ten cents, was not ready for publication to- day. It was learned that it would refuse the application. General Manager Chappell, of tee Alton, said the decision would make no difference and that notice would be given immediately to theinter-state commerce com- mission that the ten cent rate would be made. The Burlington will, next Sunday, put passenger trains on the Creston and: Rio branches. These trains were tauken off last wanter. —— Doing the Bribing Act. New YOrg, May 27.—It is understood that the commission, while in Chicago, will make inquiry into the case of a prominent cattlo shipper, who several months ago bribad one of the agents of the Western Railway Weighing association, at the stock yards, to pass a shipment of live stock at less than the actual weight. It transpires that the facts in the matter are in possession not only of the inter-state commerce commission, but also of the United States district attorney.

WILL THE SCARS STRIKE. —t Rumors That They Have Made Over- tures to the Brotherhood. It was rumored last night that the scab enginocers on the Burlington road had re- quested the order of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to join them in a gen- eral strike throughout the wost, and, as the report comes from a reliable source, it 18 doubtlessly authentic, Their grievances are exprossod in general terms, and no particular specific charges aro made. They allege that officials of the road have not dealt with them in good faith and that the promises given them were only made to be broken, The nfiuonlnn of the pro{;scctml strike was laid before local members of the B. O. L. E. last night. M, C. Parr, a promi- nent member of the brotherhood, said that he had heard nothing of the matter at all. As far as the scabs appealing to them for as- sistance was concerned, he considered it nonsense, While the brotherhood would not consent to go back on the B. & M. unless the ofticials of the road first signed their sched- ule, they would not, on the other hand, raise a floger to nssist the men who had taken their jobs. Still, the brotherhood would do nothing to injure the men, realizing that pov- erty can drive a man to almost anything. “!No brotherhood man,” said he, “‘will ever take the place of a scab, I think the whole thing is a big fake.” THE CENTRAL COMMITTEES, They Arrange Dates For Holding the Primaries and Co nventions.

An old-time resident of Denver a day or two since related an incident of the original “*Buffalo Bill” Cody, father of the present showman, which bas never been in print and is worthy of a place in the News. Old man Cody was a prominent figure on the plains in an early day, being the owner of an ex- tensive trading post on the Arkansas, in the vicinity of old Fort Larned, says the Denver News. Late in the ’50s he received information that the Indians proposed to clean out his ranch, which was an extensive adobe building sur- rounded by a stockade. He did not pay much attention to it, but the same news continued to reach him, and wus at last coufirmed by the arrival of a large band of Cheyenne and Arapuhoes and Kio- was, who camped on the opposite side of a deep arroya from the trading post, across which the military authorities had erected bridge for the passage of supply trai The savages pretended to be y friendly and wantea to trade, swapping furs and skins for ammunition, but their real object was to burn the post and carry off Cody’s scalp as n trophy—n fact of which the old frontiersman was wellinformed through the spies whom he had among them. The place was well armed, but not sufficiently manned to resist the attack of so formidable a bund of red skins, and Old Bill about to see what he could do to protect himself. In the stockyard of the fort was an old howitzer, which had been abandoned by some of the plains mili3 tary expeditions, and this he carried up to the top of the post and placed it so that it would sweep the bridge. He had {)Ienty of powder, but no other am- munition fit to load it with, and so he charged the gun with old mule shoes, nails, bits of iron and similar truck. The cannon londed he awaited devel- opments. Iarly one morning he ob- served an unusual movement in the camp of his pretended friends, and soon, fully armed and with war paint on, the sivages made a dash toward the fort. Cody was at his hovitzer, match i hand. The painted devils crowded the long but narrow bridge, and just as the foremost reached vhe nearest bank he discharged his gun at clear range of the bridge. There wasa wild howl of disappointed rage, a vision of dead In- dians tumbling into the arroya, of legs and arms and heads lying around loose without claimants, and fleeing and frightened savages escaping from the fatal bridge. Codys single shot had saved his post, and he was always there- after left in peaceful possession of his ranch. Just what struck them on the bridge the Indians never knew, and the survivors of the fatal charge always entertuined the firm belief that Buffalo Bill was in league with the evil spivit, and, as such, a person to whom it was sufe to give a wide berth, dose. 40 insvial.
