I eKraiaea at a conIerenc to be hold wXJL haratoga in Aufjust The demands of tlie organization as stated by the Chairman are remarkably moderate and reasonable. They include a revision of the tax laws, improvement of the Erie Canal, enforcement of the law limiting the hours of labor on public works, and especially a system of civil service whereby honesty and fit nous shall be the only tet for office.

There is an absence of familiar vagaries in this which raises suspicion that it will prove incompletaa a characterization of the platform of the party, which includes the Greenbackers and labor reformers. The last Legislature lutd some curious ideas about fish. time ago we jiointed out the absurd provisions of the new trout law. Now it appears that another new liw forbids the sale of striped from Jan. 1 to May 0.

The effect of tjhis law will be to deprive the people New-York of striped bass during ike months when these fish are most abundant in all the seaboard markets and when they can be-bou ght at the lowest prices. If the Iiegis-lature had known anything about the subject it would have seen that such a law benefit the consumers of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston at the expense of consumers bore. The greater part of the supply of striped bass comes from 'orth Carolina and a large' part of the remainder from Northern New-England and the Provinces. This supply, comes for the most part in the months covered by the law. Hereafter consumers in New-York will suffer a loss, not only of the bass, but also of a large quantity of other fish that are shipped with the bass, and a considerable part of this city's trade in fish will be driven to other ports.

The.broker's idea of fun" seems to be alike rude-and limited, whether he deals in securities or produce. The merry wits of the Troduce Exchange yesterday, in the absence of any black hats to smash, took to pelting the line of militia that stood under their windows. This hilarious and gentlemanlike pastime came near having serious results, as the joke continued to be exquisite to the pelters long after it had lost its zest for the peltees. It might be well for the Governing Committees of the Stock and Produce Exchangee to provide' spaces on the floor in which jfho merry brokers can divert their minds when' trade is dull by playing marbles and mumble-ti-peg. Such a provision might keep them out of much THE COMIXG STATE CAXVASS.

Interest in the State canvass of this year seems at present to be confined chiefly to anxious politicians. They are mainly anxious to know what issues can best be utilized in a contest before the people. The election of next Fall will be one of exceptional importance. State officers and members both branches of the Legislature are to be chosen. There will be some, important offices to be filled by "the new Governor, and the Senate will take part in the election of a successor to Senator Miller in 1887.

Moreover, the fact that the Governor elected in' November will still bo in office at the time of the-next Iresidential election may have some political significance. The need of semiring a higher standard of legislative action impressed upon the people by recent experience will give the con- vas for the election of Senators and Assemblymen unusual interest. It is inevitable that national issues 6hould have considerable influence upon political events in this Sfcfte. Tho fact that for the first time in many years there is a' Democratic Administration on trial at Washington and that the President went from the Executive chair of this State to his present office will give a j'eculiar significance to the political action of the people here. It will be taken as indicating in some degree the popular judgment upon the course of the Administration.

This may be interfered with by the action of parties as determined by local causes, but it cannot be wholly deprived of significance, There is little likelihood that aiy question of national policy will have weight in the canvass leyond what is implied by the attitude and conduct of the Administration. This will give prominence onljr to that hich relates to ap-oiniments to office and the practical management of the executive departments in. the hands of the President's chief Such influence aa is derived from this quarter will probably be favorable to the Democrats unless they hhould. prove too short-sighted to avail themselves of it The Republicans will have to overcome whatever prestige the Democrats may derive from the National Administration in order to have a chance for success. They will have little advantage in dealing with State questions, except in the improbable event of Gov.

Hill's renomination. His record has been so bad that it would be-a boon to the Republicans to have him for the opposing candidate. He would draw no support except from the straightest sect of Democratic partisans, and that would not bo sufficient, unless his opponents committed the incredible folly of putting up a candidate who represented a partisanship of an equally narrow kind. The responsibility for the shortcomings and failures of the last Legislature was so nearly equally divided between the two. parties that neither cjn derive much advantage over the other in consequence of the record tnttde.

The Republicans, having control of legislation, might have pursued a course which would have given-them strength. They failed to do so; but, on the other hand, the course of. the Democrats" was so obstructive and' misguided that they gained no advantage. Thfcy had no intelligent policy even of opposition. Their course in regard to the census and on the prison labor, question was especially discreditable.

The best capital of the Democrats may be derived from Washington provided the policy begun by the Administration is firmly maintained and is fully accepted by the party heitv On the record in the State there is little advantage for either aids, Much will therefor upend on tho chara ter of the men put in nomination, and ri the indications which the may give of the future course of parti): The leaders on both sides ought to be impressed with the necessity of a progr ssive policy and a high standard of politi al action.

It il reported by army officers stationed in Nelv-Mexico that there are now no hos tile Indians in that Territory, and it is be lieve-1 that none of Gebonimo's men are now fti Arizona. It is probable, therefore, that aie who left the San Carlos Reservation on May 17 have at last reached their old haunts in the mountains of Northern where they will re main until the consumption ol tneir supplies lor a -reawakened thirst for blood drivel them northward to rob and mur der tae bettlers who live near the border.

3772 RECEPTION OF THIS STATUE. As a ceremony the reception of the stati of Liberty was by no means so imprest ive as it might easily have been made. It ls much to be desired that the reception A the work and the welcome of those who had it in charge to deliver to us shou have been such as to give dignified and ignificant expression to the interest take i in the project by the people of New-Yorl. Of interest itself there can be no ubt It has been shown in many way and if it had been properly organized ind appealed to it would have been bhov in the reception. Tl a naval procession was a pageant worlh seeing.

The number and size of the esse Is engaged in it, their decoration: and their evolutions, made this part of lie Ehow really picturesque. Even here however, the tact and taste shown by le naval officers who had charge of thes-1 arrangements were to some extent neui ralized by the introduction of a gro-tesq lely prosaic feature in the vessel whi carried the representatives of the muu icipality. It has been remarked by a itic of Walt Whitman's poetry that though it may be very wrong and rery unjust to a respectable branch of indu 4ry, the word hatter" cannot be used seri. usly in emotional verse; In the same spiri itnay be observed that the association: of a ferryboat in the New-York min I are such that a vessel of that class cam ot be intruded into an august process! a of men-of-war and steazayachts will out vulgarising the difijjhxy. Espe hz Utw-JJuxh Cinirs; SafurtaiT, June cially is this the case when, in order to board the visiting vessel to welcome her officers, the deputation of welcome must either climb over or crawl under a rail.

The dignity of a Drum Major could not survive such a performance. Nevertheless the naval parade, with the advantages of perfect weather and of such a scenic setting as the beautiful Bay of New-York furnishes, was upon the whole brilliant and successful. Of the procession on land so much cannot be said. Several of the crack regiments of the city militia "were conspicuous by their absence, and although those which mustered to take a part in the celebration looked well and marched well, their numbers were too small to make this part of the parade imposing. For the rest, the procession consisted of Aldermen and other municipal officials in carriages escorting the guests of the city.

An Alderman borne in a chariot as part of a procession on land introduces very much the same sort of discord as that introduced into a parade on the water by a ferryboat laden with Aldermen. Lower Broadway, too, was by no means so profusely decorated as it should have been for the passage of such a procession, and as it might and would have been if some effort had been made to bring about a general and harmonious demonstration of welcome. It may be said that it does not matter whether demonstrations of this kind are well or ill managed, and a feeling of this kind is probably at the root of the explanation why in New-York, and indeed throughout the country, they are generally done so ilL If it does not matter whether pageants are well or ill managed it does not matter whether or not they are done at alL If they are done they should be done as well as possible. A visitor from Paris, where public displays of all kinds are perhaps better! managed than in any other city of the world, might have been pardoned for supposing that the interest felt by New-Yorkers in the completion and delivery of the gift by French republicans to American republicans was much less deep and general than it is in fact Fortunately there can be no doubt of the interest taken by -our people in the project now brought to successful execution. Their interest was very well expressed in the speeches made at the reception, which the visitors presumably could not understand.

It was hot sufficiently expressed in those visible symbols of welcome and rejoicing which need no interpretation. It is to be hoped, and indeed to be expected, that M. Babtholdi's bold experiment in colossal sculpture will be as effective artistically in execution as it is grandiose in conception. Of that nobody can as yet speak with complete confidence. But even if it is ineffectual as a work of art it will nevertheless be a monumental piece of evidence to the international good-will which prompted its erection, and which it will do so much toward confirming and continuing; THE MADSTONE.

Tlie madstone" has again cured a young man residing in Virginia of hydrophobia. He had been bitten by an alleged mad dog, and he at once borrowed a madstone and applied it to the wound. It clung to the wound for half an hour, when, being by that time full of venom," it dropped off like a well conducted leech, and was boiled in milk in order to remove the poison from it The young man was satisfied that; tbe stone had cured him," and up to the! present time he certainly has not been at-! tacked by hydrophobia. It might be remarked that the quantity of poison injected into the human body by the bite of a mad dog is extremely 6malL The poison is contained in the saliva, and the saliva that finds its way into the wound cannot be more than adheres to the particular teeth with which the bite is inflicted. This poison is taken up by the circulation very slowly, as appears from the fact that a person bitten by a mad dog may not be seized with hydrophobia for ten or twelve months after the wound was received.

What, then, is the poison" which the madstone draws from the wound, and which is so abundant that it fills a porous stone as large as a man's hand The alleged cures wrought by -the madstone can be easily explained. Probably three-fourths of the dogs that are alleged to be suffering from rabies are really suffering from distemper madness, and their bite is harmless. Furthermore, at least one-half of the wounds inflicted by really rabid dogs do not cause hydrophobia. The chances therefore that a person who is bitten by a so-called mad dog will never have hydrophobia are very great, and if he seeks safety by the use of the madstone, and does not develop hydrophobia, he will give the credit to the madstone in spite of the fact that any intelligent doctor knows that it is absolutely useless. THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

Mr. James R. Johnson has long been known as one of the near-sighted and upright young men in Madisonville, Wis. He is studying for the Baptist ministry, and it is hoped that he will yet do honor to himself and his denomination, though just at present he has disappeared from Cis borne in consequence of the scandal in wnicn ne is unnappily involved. Mr.

Johnson has always lived at hom witn ms parents and his sister. He is to a certain extent a nervous man, and the inevitable tendency of his short stockings to fall about his ankles has made almost a burden to him, In vain has he tried what are popularly known as Scotch garters and the device of pinning the top of his stockings to his underclothing. Neither of these plans has been of any service, but, on the contrary, they have, by fostering a false security, led him into the most painful situations; as, for example, when trusting to Scotch garters he tried horseback riding in company with two yoong ladies and found his stockings gradually turning inside out over his choes. What made Mr. Johnson suffer more than other men was his extreme modesty.

He could not stoop down and pull np his stockings in a other j'oung men occasionally' 20, 1885. do, but when be knew that they were down, they absorbed his whole attention and rendered him utterly unable to convene in an intelligible way. Not long ago Mr. Johnson casually mentioned his sufferings to his sister, who is an intelligent and excellent young woman. She grasped the situation at once, and asked him 5' "Why in the world don suspenders Mr.

you wear jtockinc Johnson replied hat he had never heard, of them, whereupon she explained them to him, and assured him that they were as well adapted to short as to long stockings, and added that she had never had the slightest trouble with her that is to say, that she had suffered no annoyance since she first began to wear in short, that she would no more return to the old system than she would fly. Encouraged by his sister's remarks Mr. Johnson procured, with her assistance, a pair of stocking suspenders. These consisted of two elastic strings leading from a belt about the waist, and extending one under each trousers leg to the region of the stocking. A spring clasp at the end of each string was fastened to the top of each stocking, and by this means the stockings were held firmly in their places.

Mr. Johnson pronounced the new system a complete success. From the day he put on the stocking suspenders until the melancholy event of Sunday morning, May 81, his stockings never once came down. He learned to have perfect confidence in them, and as he gradually lost all fear that his stockings would come down in publio he grew lees nervous, more contented with life, and more gentle and courteous in his manner. The Madisonville people had always known him to be a good young man, but they now did not hesitate to express the opinion that he was a saint Last Sunday morning Mr.

Johnson was as usual in his pew in the Second Baptist-Episcopal meeting house, which was greatly crowded, owing to the presence in the pulpit of the popular revivalist, Brother Sam Smith. With his characteristic courtesy, Mr. Johnson invited four young ladies whom he saw standing in the aisle to enter his pew, and, as they were particularly attractive young ladies from Chicago, and entire strangers to him, he naturally felt a little embarrassed. It was while the congregation had bowed their beads, during the last prayer, that Mr. Johnson felt his right stocking suspender break loose.

He knew very well that unless he could reattach it he would suffer the humiliation of walking home from church with one stocking dangling about his ankle. In such circumstances he found it impossible to join in the prayer, and, he resolved to seize the opportunity to repair damages. Under the friendly cover of the darkness which veiled all objects near the floor of the crowded pew he made a desperate effort and succeeded in getting hold of the end of the suspender. The clasp proved to be uninjured, and it was the work of a few minutes for Mr. Johnson to attach it to the upper end of his stocking; as he supposed.

Tlie prayer came to an end just as the young man had accomplished his task, and he remarked Amen with great fervor and in a spirit of devout thankfulness. At the end of the sermon Mr. Johnson walked cheerfully out of his pew, followed closely by the four young ladies. One of them noticing her handkerchief on the floor stooped ft pick it up. She took hold of it, but something seemed to hold it fast to Mr.

Johnson's leg. The owner twitched the handkerchief smartly, -but with no other effect than to bring "TSCi Johnson to an abrupt pause. He bent his eyes to the ground, and at once perceived the extent of his calamity. He had made his stocking' suspender fast to the young lady's handkerchief instead of his stocking. There were probably a hundred people looking on while Mr.

Johnson was dragging the end of his stocking suspender to light and detaching the handkerchief, and opinion among them was equally divided as to his conduct some holding that he had tried to steal the handkerchief and others that he had suddenly become insane. The flight of the unhappy young man the following night has increased public prejudice against him, but his friends still hope that he will return and clear his reputation. We take pleasure in calling attention to a very sensible letter, printed in our news columns, about the movement for early closing on Saturdays. So long as Saturday is the general pay day in business places the shopping done 1 by the families of the men so employed will be done on Saturday afternoons and evenings. The tradesmen with whom they deal are compelled to keep their stores open in order to meet the demand thus created.

A general change for the Summer months from Saturday to Friday as pay day would be a trifling inconvenience or none at all to employers and a very great benefit to those whom they employ, and also to those who depend upon the custom of families supported by weekly wages. BADGE li PWyEEIiS. The Wisconsin State Pioneers' Association held a reunion In Madison on the 17th insu, and enjoyed heartllv the testivittea. The following letter from Mr. Alexander Mitchell was Milwackzx, May ZU 1885.

TJX Hon. IX. K. Teimcy. Ifodteon, Ss Sir: I have received your letter of the 19th Inst, invitlncr me to be present at the annual meetlna- of the Wisconsin Pioneer Association In Jcoe.

It -would be most ratifying to me to meet with the early aettkwa of our with wbtim I have bmui associated In all the varied relations ot life lor many years. It Is both my pride and pleasure to know that I be-lonir to toe pioneer of Wiauonain. 1 have fought the battle of life here from the nrt (run. I have aeeu the wilderness and the prairies become almopt by maatu the bemua of an intelligent and thrllty people. But the sturdy founder of our great and proep-rous State now ctand in broken ranks.

Their woik is about done, and hUtory will pronounce that it has been well doue, Mate has a clearer record than Wisconsin. Her people, catnered from nmwt every nation, have been harmonious in laying dwp the foundation of learning and material wealth. In toe et-ruirgle for uo cesa there has been no blot upon bercredit.no moment of bankruptcy. In war, aa well as in peace, Wisconsin is not called upon to lower her bag to any itrr State. The pioneers have a right to be Proud of tbetr work; and.

as they drop away, one after another, they can rest assured that ttvolr good deeds will live and be cherished as the richest Inheritance or their children. Au Important iailron-1 meeting will prevent my being with you this year; but I send a most eor-dial greeting to you. Mr. Secretary, and to all the old settlers who may be present. If oat aio-ctreiy.

your friend. THE PARIS SALON MEDAL OIVINQ. Pa bib. Jnne S. There is considerable feeling this year in rwrard to tbe medal giving of tbe Salon jury.

Even Bouguer-eau's title to the Medaiile d'llonneur is seriously questioned. This is so much the case that a return to the old system of voting is likely to be resumed nex( season. It was owing to tbe new method adopted, which does not require an absolute majority, that this highest honor was given to the eminent artist. No one questions his merit let me remark; and every oae admires his "DiUUs," but there is only simple beauty of flesh painting, absolute correctness of drawing, but no composition. I have earnestly tried to find out from members of influence id the jury what requisites were neoessarv to obtain medals, and I nave concluded that without the peculiar scholastio training seldom within the possibilities of our American students; without a certain acquaintance with the influential art circle presiding these questions that one must sign almost an absolute work of genius to arrive at high hoaors.

An exception must be mads for the Universal Kxhibitijuis taking place every ten years. At suohl Uimescertain hono'rs, medals, and decorations are attributed to each section and department and they mast be given to tbe hmt available presentations. There is a feeling that the reason honorable mentions were given to the Americans who expected medals suck as Stewart, Harrison. Weeks, and others was on aocount of their nationality and tbe tariff question. This Is a mistake.

Portions of the jury have undoubtedly a feeling that the law is a harsh return for the many favors, immunities, and tuition given so generously to our students; but they have no less faith in the future sense, judgment and tact ol the American people, and while the measure hurts their Interest they endure it patiently and without retaliation, as they would any other pro tem nuisance. Stewart's picture was estimated too commercial in its Interest to attain even a third medal and Harrison's effort too slight in composition. While both artists are given every praise for valuable effort and good work their ability is asked to make further and more elevated progress for a medal recompense. So little indignation is expressed outside of the inside jury circle, especially in the case of Stewart As a rule, however, writers concur in saying that too high a standard cannot be given and maintained for the universal benefit of art in its most devoted leader. AMUSEMENTS.

MEXICAN TYPICAL ORCHESTRA. Tbe band known as the Mexioan Typical Orchestra, after a long- series of profitable performances In New-Orleans, has Journeyed northward. Its members gave an Invitation concert at tbe Star Theatre last evening, this event prefacing several publio entertainments, tbe first of which is announced for Sunday next. Tbe band numbers 18 musicians and a conductor, and the list of Instruments In use includes two violins, two 'cellos, one flute, one harp, two salterioe" a sort of tit her three guitars, and sdven bandolons, the latter being neither more nor less than magnified mandolins. The impression produced by an organization of thia kind will be readily imagined.

If tbe orchestra's efforts were limited to the playing of serenades and quaint national music it would be uniformly successful, but to say that it can do justice to compositions written for a properly balanced force would be mere flattery. The tone sent -forth is, of course, wanting In body and depth, and -detlcient too. in variety of color and contrast. On tbe other hand, the musicians work so well together and reveal such a mastery of dynamic effects that for awhile, the listener's ear is pleasantly Hi led with sounds that suggest somewhat tbe performances of a real orchestra heard over tbe wire) of a telephone.

A SVnOVETt COXFEDZRATE From the Mactm, (OoJ Telegraph, June 17. CoL B.

Johnston and daughter, Miss Mary Ellen, left Macon Saturday night for a trip to London. England. While it ia nothing unusual for Cot Johnston to slip away from town and be gone a month or longer, especially at tbe opening of the Bummer season, atrlp to London created some sur- 5 rise. On Inquiry, It was learned that CoL' ohnston's trip was purely a business one, and grew out of a Confederate bond transaction. It seems that just alter tbe war tbe effects, furniture, and plunder of tbe boutbern Bank at savannah sold at auction, tbe bauk having succumbed to the fates.

In the plunder was a small black trunk which gave no outward sign of the contents, but Col. Johnston, who was something of a Mrs. oodles, thought It possessed a value, and it was" knocked down to blot tor $5. When opened it was found to contain in confederate bonds.

Johnston's attorneys in London cabled him to be present at the hearing of the suit, and it was this business tbat takes him across the water. Why Hutton holds tbe bonds, and what amount of money figures in the transactions, is not known here, but certain it ia tbe amount was sufficient to induce him to take a trip to London at a time when his presence la due at Crab Orchard Springs, la Keatuckr. or White Sulphur.
