LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Manifesto Issued by the Federated
Trades-UnfOns.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The board Of
directors, appointed by the Central Commit
tee of Labor Legislation, organized by the
last congress of the National Labor Unions,
submit TO the organized trades unions and
assemblies OF labor of the United States, a
manifesto hesded with the stirring cal, 40
your tents, y Israel." The manifesto de-
nounces the majority of the Senate as law
yers retained by federated capitalists, de-
mands an extra session of Congress- as a
remedy for impending strikes, and advise all
wage-workmen TO join their trades unions or
Knights of Labor and present an unbroken
front. The manifesto denouuces the abrupt
suspension of the Senate investigation oil the
relations between capital and labor, and
says this action, coupled with later proceed.
ing inimical TO the interests OF wage-workers,
convinces the board of directors Of the in
sincerity and hollow hypocrisy Of
the professions of msjority of
senators. The complete suhjection oil
our legislators to the moneyed power has
never been more clearly demonstrated tbsn By
the recent tariff legislation Of the Forty
seventh Congress, which threatens 10 result
in immediate aud distressing reduction oil

tablishmen,s of The country. The attempt
will naturally lead to strikes and conse queni

ARE THE PEOPLE TO BE BE.
TRAYED?

Ii is strange that men who are go punctili-
Gus in their private transactions, faithful IN
the Observance OF their pledges, and NOR
bidly 10y al in complying with their promises
In commercial transactions, should be recre-
ant to their party pledges. 1t seems thai
there are Bate Democrats and RUSSELL Demo-
Gratis in Tennessee who regard the platforms
which they adopted in the last canvass as
mere ropes OF sand, sounding brass and
tiukling cymbals," to be used to cheat and
dslude the people pending an important
election, but as useless as a last years birds
nest after the election. The political history
of the country furnishes no parallel to the
treachery of those Democrats who, in and
out OF the Tennessee Legislature, have mani
tested readiness to betray the people in re-
gard 10 the passage OF bill creating rail-
road commission. The Democratic Conven-
ton held at Nashville on the 10th Of June,
and which nominated Gov. B ate as its can
d ida,e for governor, unanimously adopted
the following resolution:
Fourth.-That we are unalterably opposed to
eyery species of monopoly as destructive of lib
erty and the best interests of the people, and u

selves from Their Vows by Rum
ming Away.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Miss Schsfer, a
well-dressed young woman, informed the
jersey City police Thursday that lady
friend Of hers, Miss Tonner, with whom she
had called upon Father Kraus, of ST. Boni-
face church, on business CT private nature,
was detained against her will by him. Fa-
Their Kraus says the Two women were sis
tiers of the Dominican Order, and have been
domiciled in the convent attached TO his
church. Miss Schafer had taken the tempo
rary vow Tor three years, and her probation
would expire in August. Miss Touuer, who
is a niece Of Father Tonner, of this city, had
taken perpetual vows, and had held high
position in the Convent of Mt. Vernon, in
Winchester county. Miss Schafer had be-
haved in an unsatisfactory way at st. Boni-
face convent, AID removed to a convent on
Second street in this city, from which she
had been transferred 10 Mt. Vernon.
She and Miss Toner had become dissatis-
fed with religious life, and had Quilted the
convent, wheth r with or without permission,
the priest could not tell. They came to him
for the purpose of procuring a. dispensstion
from further Observance OF their VOWS. He
had told them that they would have 10 apply
to the bishop. Miss Schafer then went away
while Miss Tonner, who was sick, remained
for about an hour, when she departed. Fa'
ther ToDner said the trouble arose from the
fact that some OF his niece's relatives were
Protestants. He added: 81 regard my niece
as good Catholic, snd believe she would
not have abandoned the life she led if she
hsd not been Influenced by her grandfather
and Miss Schafer. We will use no meani
other than persuasion 10 get her back. She
cannot be absolved from her vows without
the sanction of the Pope" In the meantime
Miss Tonner hiss not been found.
