j. VlcGuire and Frank P. Foster bave ieen selected to represent tbe Federation iind Mr. Sovereign and his iriends on the Executive Board will act for the Knights. The various railroad brotherhoods have also been asked to send delegates.

1 1 is not unlikely that tbe move will remit in the formation of one body, with Klitical proclivities. This idea will le worked out through the assemblies the Knights, so that the trades unions, as such, will not figure in politics. P. J. McGuire, who represents tbe Federation in this city, left for New York last night, it was stated at heacl-c uarters.

There be will meet his fellow delegates and tbe demands of tbe Federation will be formulated. Tbe members ct tbe Executive Board of tbe Knights are in Washington. TO UNITE TKADKS UNIONS.

WHO WILL BE THE GRAND ARMY'S HEIRS? Interesting Questions as to Fu ture Ownership ef Their Property. Post 2's. Hall May Go to 'the Last Surviving Member.

A General Feeling That the Sons of Veterans Should Inherit the War Records and Relics of Their Fathers. What will become ef the property of the Grand Army of the Republic when all the surviving veterans of tbe war ot 1 St 1-66 shall have passed away? As is well known, membership in the great organization is restricted to actual survivors of tbe rebellion, and as the lite of man is limited there must naturally come a time within tbe twentieth century when even the youngest drummer boy wbo participated in the war will have succumbed to old age, and tbe Grand Army, in so far as Its active ex istence Is concerned, will be a thing of the past. The interesting question then arises as to the ultimate destiny ot the large mount of valuable property which the organization has acquired during its existence. In Philadelphia alone this property runs up into the hundreds thousands of dollars' worth. Several of the posts own their halls, and all of them possets more or less valuable collections of books, war records of incalculable value to the historian of the future, relics ana Dattie which, pro vision is not made lor them beforehand, are liable to become scattered and practically lost to posterity when- the posts die out.

THE CASE OF POST 2. This question has recently been dis cussed in an informal way ainoug some of the members of Post 2, which is one of tbe largest and most flourishing posts in the country, it now owns a band' semo'and completely furnished hall on North Twellth street, below Fairmount avenue, has a splendid library and number ot valuable relics and memorials of the war. Its membership includes many of the leading men ot the city, For many years Pest 2 occupied the hall in tbe old tras ofiice at Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets, gettlnar it from tbe city at a uominal rent, and its expenses being light it was enabled to accumulate quitea fund in the treasury. Several attempts were made at various times to spend tne money, out Judge Fell, J. M.

Vanderslico and others so tightened the by-laws and conserved the lund that expenditure wss impossible, and when tbe time came lor tbe post to vacate its old ball to make way lor the new Normal School tbe fund amounted. to about $10,000. With this the post was enabled to purchase the property on North Tweiith street and tit it In regard to the succession ef this properly alter tbe post shall have passed away, Lawyer vanderslice, in the course or a casual conversation re cently, expressed the interesting opin ion that tbe last burviving member of the post would probably have tbe ownership of tbe property, tbe succes sion going to his heirs. PROBABLY GO TO THE SONS. Supreme Judge Fell, who is en of the leading members of the post, says, however, that ho does not think tbat any such disposition of tbe property will bo permitted.

"Post 2," he said, 'is an incorporated and If no arrangement is made during the lifetime of the majority ef tbe members providing for tbe succession the courts would award it te tbe nearest allied charity er bene-iicial organization." Tbe feeling; among prominent Grand Army memeers Is that the proper and most appropriate disposal of the property ei the organization would be to bequeath It to the Sons of Veterans. Tbe latter body wlil, like the Sons of the Revolution, be an everlasting organization, and centuries Irom now will be constituted ot the descendants ot veterans el the war or 1801-66, and it, therefore, seems most appropriate that the vast of memoirs, documents and relics attesting to the glory ef the fathers should be passed along; to their sons and their sons' sons lorever. In fact, many of th posts throughout the country are said to bave incorporated this provision in their records and archives in such a way as to leave no legal doubt in the minds ot future generations as to what ahall be done with the property.

Celebration of (he Anniversary of Dr. Ed-" wards' Pasiorata. "Our Public School System" the Subject of a Sermon by Rev. R. B.

McDanel Elders Ordained at the First Presbyterian Church. The separation of city aflairs from State and national politics formed the subject of the discourse delivered yesterday morning at the First Unitarian Church by Rev. Joseph May, the pastor. The wonderful growth ef city lite since the war the preacher attributed to tbe desire to fret away from tb dullness of rural conditions. Other reasons are the desire to set rich and the seeming ease ot mercantile life.

Similar conditions ezit abroad. When a city is well governed, when it is well drained, well paved, bas good water, plenty of parks and breathing spaces ler the children, there are many advantages which are preferable to those found in the country. Refinement is developed and a liberal education can be gained. Another thing which bas made great progress in tbe cities is co-operation. The people provide nothing, but bave te buy everything with tbe money they can earn.

City lire is much mora, intense intellectually and morally than country life, and so many evils rise from the artificial conditions that tbe government needs to be administered with the greatest care. On this account all citizens Philadelphia should plainly see that tbe art ot governing the city is a domestic and practical one, the citizens bing all members of one great family. Tbe city government requires the exercise of no political functions; these should be relegated to the State and Ration. In the city the practical common affairs should be attended to in just tbe same way as tbe bead of a family superintends bis important business, leaving other essential but less important work to other, but trusted, persons. It is not necessary to question a man's politics or creed in order to find out if be is worthy of looking after highways, police, ga3 or any other department.

All positions Bhould be filled by competent and worthy men, regardless ot tbe party spoilsmen. Dr. May referred to the venality and chicanery practiced by some officials and urged bis listeners to choose men ot whose capacity, honesty and fidelity they were assured, and if elections are conducted regardless of politics good administration is assured. Determination, intelligence and honorable eflort will bo certain to aid in the erection of a city government which shall be a monument to the patriotism, tboughtfulness and determination of those wbo work for tbe reform. FIFTEEN YEARS AS PASTOR.

Rot. Dr. Edwards Reviews His Church Work Darin That Time. The fifteenth anniversary of tbe pastorate ot the Rev. Or.

Robert A. Edwards, of tbe Church of St. Matthias, Nineteenth and Wallace streets, was observed yesterday. The church was handsomely decorated with ferns and flowers, conspicuous amonr the decorations being a floral de- sijjn stretching across the chancel. with tbe dates 1879 and 1894.

There was an augmented choir, and the Rev. A. E. Dunham, the assistant minister, assisted in the services. The pastor took for his anniversary dls course these words from Isaiah, 44, 8: "Ye are my witnesses." He spoke or the work the church and reviewed tbe 15 years of his pastorate, with his people as witnesses.

"When I came among you," he said, "there was a debt of $6000; this has been paid off. and $12,00 since expended on the church. A little over a quarter of a million has during that time passed through the church treasury. We have not yet attained tbe full measure of our work. Our Sunday school has ranked from second to fourth on the list in her contributions.

1 have performed 220 marriages, attended 405 funerals and baptized 492 persons, many Oi whom were adults. These figures touch my heart to-day. Many of those whom 1 have cradled in my arms for baptism bave cone to Heaven. When I think of the large number of funerals I feel sad at missing so many faces that greeted me fifteen years ago." He closed by a reference to bow the congregation should resolve during the coming year to live nearer Christ as witnesses. In the evening the church societies met and presented reports.

INSTALLATION SERVICES. Rov. Charles W. Kevin, Pastor of Scots Presbvtortan Church The installation of Rev. Cnarles W.Xevln, the new pastor of Scots Presbyterian Church, drew a congregation last night which completely filled the haadsome edifice, which stands at Broad street and Castle avenue.

Rev. Dr. Thomas A. Hoyt preached an eloquent and impressive sermon on the mission of the Holy Ghost, which is to bring to men conviction of sin, the persuasion of righteousness and the apprehension of judgment. Dr.

Hoyt warned those who closed their hearts to the Holy Spirit that no other offering to the Lord would suffice, and the forewarnet jnda--ment would be thus to give them a -dreadful eternity. Rev. W. H. Roberts, D.

Mr. McDanel Speaks of the Duty of Parents. Rev. Robert B. McDanel.

pastor of ths Wissahickon Baptist Church, preached yesterday morning on "The ifu bile School System" to several councils of the Junior Order of American Mechanics, taking for his text Luke xxi. 8, "Take care that ye be not deceived." He said that this should be regarded as aational warnin-r. "The fundamental principles of this order demand loyalty to our government. We cannot estimate the responsibility resting- npon us as fathers and American citizens in regard to the education of our country's youth. As Garfield litis said, The children or to-day are the architects of our nation's destiny.

It is they who are moulding our fnture ship of state." He denounced the present system of electing- school directors in this city, as nomination now was almost a surety of election. He said such methods gave an easy opportunity lor the eieetion of objectionable men. Moral Bevolutlon for form. Political Re- At the Sprinr Garden Unitarian Church, last night, Herbert Welsh addressed a large audieaoe on "Municipal reform from an ethical standpoint." Mr. Welsh took the ground that political wrong- deiag is the result of moral deficiency; and that the moral coadition of this city and Commonwealth are below the He expressed the conviction that to overcome these conditions a moral levolntien must he brought abont by an unselfish public movement prompted by something akin to religious feeling.
