A clearer sky, a more invigorating atmosphere, could not have been brought together to favor the passage of a pageant than were those of yesterday from dawn to nightfall, and these conditions were fully availed of by the labor organisations to make the parade a success. Of course, the extravagant predictions of enthusiasts were not fulfilled as to numbers, yet fourteen thousand men in line ia something to boast of, and the good order that prevailed ia something still better. The promptness of formation was something wonderful, and the atari from Copley square at 9.30 oclock attested to the judicious prearrangement of those in charge.
This enhanced the delight of the maaaee of friends and children who filled the sidewalks in anticipation, and their faoee wore an expression not noticeable in the countenances of impatiently tong-waiting crowds too olten noticeable on processional occasions. All was over, so far as marching waa concerned, at noon, and the participants and spectators separated for other fields of enjoyment. The procession itself was not striking in its display of uniforms, citizens dress prevailing, though many of the banners and mottoes were quite suggestive. Some organizations, it ia true, were dressed unpretentiously in garments indicative of their callings, bnt the bright trappings were confined to the marshals and musicians. Chief Marshal George McGuire was bedecked with a garland of flowers, made in tbe form of a military aash.
He also wore a silk hat and white over-breeches, with large yellow hoots, and made a fine appearance mounted. Ol tbe railroad employees, the Fitchburg men announced, "We are not from the land of artist fame, but our work is contract just the same. The painters and decorators had several transparencies bearing the following announcements: For stealing a railroad- honors; for stealing one dollar imprisonment. Modern society is based upon the dUinberitaace of the masses. He who dues not work mu steal or beg.
The atm of unity ia mutual protection. Get rich from the labor of nomen and children." Tax land to its fnll rental valne. Thirty-seven acres of land ia dne every person. District Assembly No. 39 had a canvas with No rooms for scabs upon it.
Carpenter' Union No. 33 had several transparencies, among them the model of a small house with Scab shop to let No foreign contract labor; All honor to tbe founder of Labor Day P. J. Maguire. The Boston paving department announced that The press and contractors beat ua Half time means sloppy streets full time meant clean streets No boss owns us, we are all free men; Scabs must go; Election day should be a legal holiday.
Equal pay for equal work for all men and women was a motto dis played by Central Labor Union. By the cigar makers, A scab ia to hia trade what a traitor ia to his country. The mounted police kept the crowd well back on the sidewalk while the procession moved down Boylston to Charles street, through to Beacon and np the hill to the State House. Here i. waa reviewed by Councillor E.
A. Morse, who had been designated by the governor to act in hia stead. He doffed hia tril white hat to each passing organization. Hia aids were Colonels Rockwell and Currier, who stood at either aide of tha gate in full uniform. The union cigar makers presented Mr.

Tbe various divisions ard assembUf then marched off to the depots and other destinations. Only three or four divisions marched over the entire route. The second division branched off at Haymaiket square acd went to the Lowell depot. The first division was made np of the Amalgamated Building Trades' Council. Laat year this organization formed a very small part of the parade, but this year they turned out in immense numbers, and occupied the place of honor.
The second division was composed of the carpenters and joiners, the United Brotherhood of America, and numbered some three thousand men. There were four thousand Knights of Labor in the third civision and three thousand in the fourth, made up of almost every conceivable trade and occupation, from the printer to the longshoreman. There were eleven band in the first division, six in the second, nine in the third and ten in the fourth. Between three hundred and four hundred policemen were on duty, mounted and afoot, ur-ier Captain Hemenway of Division bnt their work was light compared to that on other notable parades. The parade over, the down-town streets presented an almost Sunday aspect, comparatively apeaking, for the masses had dispersed to the Common and the suburbs.
The Amalgamated Building Trades Council went to Oak Island ly way of the Revere Beach Lynn Railroad. The picnic there was attended by about five thousand people, and athletic sports were tbe order of the at ternoon. Tna Central Labor Union had its picnic at Downer Landing, and most of the organizations which paraded in the fourth division went there. It is mated that about five thousand people were pies ent. There were athletic sports, music, dancing and other amusem*nts.
At Haggetts Grove, Andover, the carpenters held their picnic, which was also a success, about three thousand people being in attendance. About the rise class of sports were in order.

The banqnet was given by the State Council to James E.
Ritchie of Philadelphia, the national councillor, and other high officials. Lynn gave np business for pleasure, and a procession was the great feature: There were four divisions.

The second division la ters and McKay stitchers formed on Andrew street.

Democratic Method of Collecting Campaign Funds. THE DUTY ON FINE WOOLS. Purchasing Inferior Material for New Library Building. SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE RAX SCRIPT. Chairman Barnnma Mission.
Washington, Sept. 4. The Poet says today Tbe mEion of Chairman Barnnm of the national Democratic commitr ee to this city last week was to consult with heads of departments and leading Democratic politicians in regard to the best method of collecting campaign contributions from Government employees and other residents of the district. It was decidr that the ciTil service law and rules and the civil-aervice-reform pretensions of the Administration would not permit the distribution of begging circulars among the employees. That proposition was laid aside re unfeasible.
It waa decided, howeves, that an office will be opened in the Corcoran Boil difig or at some other convenient place in a few days, and means will be fonnd to let every Democrat resident in the District of Columbia know that his voluntary contribution at that office will not only be welcome, bnt that it is needed and will be ex-1-ected. It reminds me, said Representative Allen of M'asissippi, yesterday, of a custom that prevails in Jackson, Miss. On the morning of each election day the white Democrats fire a gun off. That ia to notify the negroes that there ia going to be a fair election that day. And if one gun in the morning ia not sufficient, the signal is repeated at intervals during the day.
The opening of this office in a similar way will notify the Democratic officeholders that there are going to be voluntary contributions taken up. The Duty on Fine Wools. The Senate Tariff Committee haa not, as haa been reported, realy increased the duty on fine wools one cent a band. It haa changed the wool paragraphs wilh a view to simplifying them. For Instance, now all ctothirg and combing wools valued below niii ty cents a pound pay a duty of ten cents a pound, and all valued at above thirty, pay twelve cents.
The Republican bill maxes them all dutiable at eleven cents a pound, whether valued at more or 1cm than thirty cents. This is virtually, however, an increase of a cent a pound, because the importation of the wools valued at above thirty cents la very slight in comparison with that of the lower-priced wools. Investigation Called For. Judge Kelley's resolution calling for an investigation of the charge that members of Congress have brought improper influence to hear on John T. Smithmeyer, architect of tbe new library tailding, in inducing him to purchase inferior building materials, especially cement, from friends of these congressmen, caused a little commotion in the Honae this afternoon.
It i generally understood that Kelleys resolution is directed at Representative Stahlnecker of New York. Mr. Stahlnecker ia a member of a committee which is already engaged in investigating the Library Commission, and it is this committee to which the resolution refers this proposed supplementary investigation, The difference of opinion arose over the amend a. ent offered by Mr. Bloant to refer the investigation to a special committee.
Ths waa finally adoited, bnt not nntll everybody on both aides of tha House exhb'ted great readiness to have the investigation ordered. There were various undisguised allusion to the member whom Mr. Kelley had in mind, and Mr. Cox went so far aa to ask the Pennsylvanian to name him, hut this Mr. Kelley said he would not do at the present time.
Mr. Stahlnecker was not in the House at the time, and is said to he ont of town. There seems to be a very shady aide to the construction of this much-needed building, and jnst where the blame lies is not an easy thing to find out. The Retaliation BilL The Home took np the retaliation bill at 2.25 oclock, and Mr. Belmont began his speech upon it.
