THE great strike of English mechanics at
Newcastle and other towns on the Tyne hav-
ing resulted substantially in their triumph, it
is to be feared that this unsatisfactory way of
dealing with employers will be generally re-
sorted to. The perfect organization of the
British mechanics, and their accumulate
savings, enabling them to support the strikers
in idleness for many mouths, gave them the
victory, and after the first of January they are
to work only nine hours day. Workingmen
will not be slow to learn the value OF concert
ofaction when they see thatit has prevailed in
this case against combination OF some of the
heaviest capitalists in Great Britain. Why
is it impossible for men who have learned so

THE notion that the Ku-Klux organization
is myth is pretty effectualy disposed of by
the wholesale convection of the rascals in
North Carolina. The Democrats of the
State ale thrown into a terrible panic by the
unexpected turn the matter has taken. A
special to the Boston Advertiser says that
ten of the leading Democrats of the State,
seven of them lawyers, addressed a letter to
Judge Bond, expressing their surprise at the
development of the testimony of the riots,
condemning in the strongest language the
existence and object of the organic alton and
asking that the remainder of the trials be
postponed until November, in order that they
might unite all order-loving citizens in an
effort totally ito suppress the outlaws. Judge
Bond replied courtecusly, expressing his
regret that he could not comply with their re-
quest Tor postponement. 1t would greatly
cucumber the docket of the next term, and
he could not help thinking that the efforts of
the court would be great help to the gen
tlemen in their efforts to suppress these out

regard to the virtues of the cundurango for the
cure of cancer are given:
"A citizen of high standing, of Chicago, took
his wife to DR.. Bliss, at Washington, to be
treated for cancer. The case was a most Sc
rioas one. He tried the cundurango and
awaited the results. In two weeks the cancer

from bleeding An operation with the knife

the condition the cancer had assumed. The
immense growth had become entirely separat-

from healing. AS soon as the cancer was re-

The New York Sun has set story going
which has been caught up and passed along
by every Democratic sheet that President
Grant and other public officers at Washington
have large interests in the Seneca stone quar-
~, and that its produce is used extensively in
public buildings to the exclusion of better and
cheaper material. But General Meigs has pub
lished statement showing that the Presidenl
purchased his stock year before he assumed
his Office, and that it has never yet produced
him cash dividend; further, that the Seneca
stone is only partially used, and for purposes
for which it is much more fitting than any
other. In this way powerful campaign cry
is effectually smothered out.
