Knights of Labor, which will be given at
Lincoln Club hall, on next Tuesday
evening, will be the greatest success
achieved in that direction for many a
long day. Unless it rains buckets-full or
SHOWS icebergs, the attendance Will be
far beyond that of any of its
predecessors for the mum Der of tickets
already sold are counted by hundreds.
The committee has been busy making
preparations, and there can be no doubt
as to the social success which is in store
for 321S and their guests ON Tuesday

Timely Suggestions.

H
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 1S.-Assembly
No. 24S7 is In good condition; by this
I mean we are laboring in the right d.
rection. admit we are comparatively
ignorant, and, in a measure, are lacking
in concentration of purpose. This can
only be remedied by or ganization and
education. I am in receipt of communl-
cations from number of local ssemblies
in the west calling attention to the, lack
of intelligent effort in this direction. To
them l have made the following sugges-
tons: |s-> Il. 'r
First, we are isolated and need to be
brought closer together To meet this
difficulty 1 suggest that every local as
sembly of the west appoint one of their
best members correspondent to keep us
posted through THE ENQUIRER in all
matters of interest to knights of Labor
And where secret information is neces.
sary to begiven or received I suggest the
following plan, say twenty local Assem-.
blies form the ring, they are numbered
from one to twenty. Nineteen cores
pond with one, and he condenses and
Iembodies in one letter the gist of all
and then sends a copy to each cor.
respondent; by this means each onesbe,
comes familiar with the condition of all
and if the general correspondence be
addressed to numbergo one first, then
number two, and SO on through the
whole number. all will have equal bur-
dens and ali will be treated alike.
Education in political economy should
engage our attention for the masses,
through false education, do not know
what~their rights and privileges are
they take for granted that the world
must wag on in the future as in the past |;
7 this cannot be, for the breach is widen
ing between rich and poor and will con-
tinue until we, by intelligence and con-
centrated effort put stop to such a state
of things; this means education.
Every local assembly should appoint
a good committee on legislation, so that
bills may be presented to our legislative
bodies, helping and protecting labor,
and restricting capital within reasonable
bounds.
Great wisdom must be used in. all our
assemblies, that we may not act hastily,
or out of order. we have a good execu-
tive and to them should be referred all
grievances. They are sometimes ignored
by foolish brethren, who, unless checked
will bring US into trouble. '
If any brother taking The LABOR EN-
QUIRER would use his influence to have
others of his own assembly, as well as
other asse mblies take them, he would
help oul good cause. @- j. &.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
DENVER, Jan. 19.-I propose to give
you sketch of my plan for the election
of officers, to fill each, Office in the state,
county and city, which believe will be
far superior to ANYTHING at present exist
ing in our electoral system. If it is
thought worthy of any consideration our
Lawmakers can elaborate upon it in the
form of bill. 1t may appear to be a
radical change from the present plan,
but it will be none the worse for that !;
for the old system has become obsolete
and will no longer serve the purpose for
which it was brought into existence.
Good men are at their wits end what to
substitute In its place. T
I will speak first of the voter. The
qualification for a voter shall be that bis
or her name shall be taken from the
county or city treasurer's books as tax
payer for either real, personal or poll
tax, and shall have paid ,Ghe tax assessed
against his name for the past year. and
reside in the city. county or state. All
such shall appear upon the registry list
of voters and no others. N
The voting paper1or ballot shall be
printed for president, for senator, for
congress, for governor, for mayor, ETC.,
and shall contain the title of each officer
to be elected at that election, leaving a
blank space for each voter to write in
the name of the person for whom he
wishes to vote, as, for governor, Wolf
Londoner for congress, John L. DALEY ;
for mayor, John B. Lennon, and so on
until every Office is filed, and at the
bottom Of the ballot the voters full name
and address. This ballot shall be folded
and placed in an envelope and addressed
to the returning board.
This board shall consist of nine per-
sons qualified electors, three of whom
shall be nominated by the governor of
the state, three by the county commits
sioners. and three by the mayor of the
city. This board shall be duly sworn to
secrecy and the faithful performance of
their duties by the judge Of the supreme
court of the state. Their duties shall be
to make out registration list of the
qualified voters Of the state, county or
city, as the case may be, from the treas
urer's books of all who have paid their
taxes for the last year; to prepare the

/ WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-In the senate an.
amendment was offered by Senate Vance to
the interstate commerce bill prohibiting rail-
roads to charge more for any package when
shipped singly than for each of a number of
like packages by the carload. -,
Z He said: One thing is certain, indeed-that
the people are not going to submit quietly to
a condition Of, things which shall make the
destiny Of commerce and all other methods
of acquiring wealth utterly dependent on
either the caprice, the forbearance, or the
greed of railroad corporations, uncontrolled
and uncomfortable. tx
I Senator George, in the course of his re
marks on the same subject, said:
Mr.. President, If society had SO crystalized
here into castles and classes that he who is
born into one class must always remain in it;
If a member of what is called the laboring
classes receiyer-must always remain
an employe receiving wages from Others, l
would admit that whatever would cheaper
production, even this concentration and
aggregation of capital, now favored If not
compelled by the present system, and the
destruction of all smaller enterprises, would
be public good. For in that case the con-
ditlon of the laboring classes would be i'm
proved in the opportunity furnished Of pro-
viding comfort and necessaries at a cheaper
rate But, sir, we have not yet reached that
state; 1T is the highest duty Of craftsmanship
to prevent its coming. 1t has been our boast
that under our institutions every child Is
born to all the possibilities of good fortune
We should take care that this boast. is not

/ There ought to be such relations between
capital and labor, between large capital and
small capital, as would secure the harmonious
cooperation of both and all for the common
good. And in the end, in free country
with universal suffrage, this cooperation will
be secured, or either capital or the free insti-
tutions will be destroyed. They can not CO.
exist for any long period in irreconciiable
lantagonism.
So, sir, if I could forget the ills resulting
from its misuse, if could forget its aggres-
sions or its failures, if shut my eyes to the
misery of the thousands of idle laborers who,
from want of harmony and cooperation
between them and their employers, are
suffering in penury, and would consider
alone the interests of capital, I would sup
port thisof any other just measure which
would tend to a greater harmony, surer

not let them enter. All the officials of
the county came Monday morning and
brought Keith and ten of his men whom
they had sworn in as deputy sherifts,
and placed in their hands warrants for
the arrest of twenty-five men charged
with riot and attempting to murder
August Unfug and Welmer. The men
gave themselvesup. . h..et1
Danforth brought the district attorney
with him and telegraphed ahead and re
tanned the only American lawyer in the
county. The men then employed Voldez,
a good Mexican lawyer, and arranged to
have change of venue from Esquire
Creesy to Romero, Mexican justice,
and put up the cash to make the thing

trial, but the district attordey had anolle
entered, and Greasy charged up the costs
Ito Robinson. who had sworn out the
warrants.
This morning constab ablepfrom La Veta
came down with warrants, sworn out by
Danforth, for the same individuals and
for the same offense. Thirteen were
arrested and brought to La Veta. They
could get no lawyer, as Voldez was called
to Fort Garland last night, and they
asked for a continuance till next Thurs
day, which was granted, and the men
each placed under bonds for $500. The
district attorney wanted to make it
$4,000 each, but $500 was the lowest they
could get. H0.

New YORK, Jan. 20.-We gave to day
another very interesting example of the
power of boycotting. Not long ago a
scheme for reducing the wages of type
settlers was got up by society of boss
printers known as the Typotheta. The
first Office to attempt the reduction was
that of Frank Tousey, who publishes a
number of cheap periodicals and dime
"library," and who advertised for COM
positors last week at 35 cents per 1000.
His hands struck and he got few rats
to fill their places. His case was promptly
taken up by the Typographical union,
who determed upon boycotting of all
his publications. The word Boycott |!
Boycott Frank Tousey r. went out last
Saturday and it was loud enough to
-terrify the man who had de6ed his union
printers, but who quailed before the
raised arm of organized labor. There is
no doubtwhatever that his cheap book
and periodical business would soon have
felt the boycott, which was to be COM
municated all over the country. Before
Saturday night, Frank Teusey began to
weaken, and yesterday. when his case
was brought up before the Central Labor
Union, it was found he was anxious for
settlement. To-day committee has
the matter in hand, and the. ultimatum
of the printers is "No surrender"
The case is an important one to this
trade and its union for if Frank Tousey
had succeeded in his scheme of reduc-
,tion it would very soon have been ap-
piled to other printing Offices, and the
result would have been the turmoil of
strike.
There is no doubt that since the open
ing of the year the times have improved
in New York in several of the trades.
There are fewer hands idle than there
were during the last half Of the year
among the tailors. shoemakers, carpen-
ters, printers and painters, and the gen.
eral reduction of wages that was dreaded
has not taken place.
A boss employing large gang of un-
skilled .laborers reduced the price from
ST .25 to 81 day. They struck, and the
boss went down to Castle Garden as a
shipload of Huns got in, and hired from
this immigrant institution all the men
he needed at the reduced price. This
shows the murderous working of the i'm
migrant system, as it is now managed.
The project started among the carpen-
tiers to secure nationl movement in be-
half of the eight-hodr system is under &C.
tive discussion. 1t is found that local
attempts of the kind are of no effect.
The plan of Patrick Scullin, of the Anal
gamated carpenters and joiners. is COM
prehensive and practical one and there
is some prospect that it will be taken by
the Building Trades Council. +,
There is not much prospect of any
labor legislation at Albany this winter
but the State Trades Assembly will again
press several measures that were put
aside last winter. J.s. T.
