DALLAS, Tx, Sept. 4.-Thc Knights OF
Labor convention completed its labors
this afternoon and adjourned and most OF
the visiting delegates have left the city.
The convention was not conducted after
the usual style of deliberative bodies.
The common mode OF procedure is TO
meet late and adjourn early, and for the
members TO spend large part of their
time In the saloons, drinking and smok-
ing and talking in loud voices about saw
ing the country. The knights didn't
do this. They went TO work early and
put In good, full days work every day,
aud IL they failed 20 accomplish good re-
suits IL was not for want OF effort.
"MUM Is THE woRD,r
Regarding the acts of the Knights, the
seal Of secrecy not having been removed,
and IL Is said that even those members OF
the order who were not delegates do not
nor never will know the action of the
convention. II Is to be hoped that this is
not the case, as IL would hardly be con-
Z sistent with the dignity and manhood of
the frecmen composing the order 10 give
their most vital interests into the hands
of any class corporation of dlctatOrs.
/ The knights OF Labor organization Is
| destined to prove Of incalculable bcnc-
/ ut to the laboring classes, and TO the
country,-for the prosperity of the la
boring people Is the prosperity of the
country-if its members stand together,
and the equality of each member with every
other member Is preserved; but If too
much power Is placed In the hands of
chosen few, the time will soon come
| when designing and INSCRIPTIONS men,
who have no interest to subserye but the
/ furtherancc OF their own selfish ends,
will gain control OF its affairs, and its
days of usefulness will be over. How
ever, that day has not, and 1t is sincerely
hoped will never arrive, and TnEGAZETTE
joins with large majority of the people
IN bidding Godspced TO the valiant
knights who have buckled on the armOr of
right and justice against the most power
ful enemy that ever opposed and perse
cutcd mankind.
