Az unjust INPCT1TION

The dispatches from st. Louis, in regard to
the arrest of perpetrators of dynamite Outragcs
there, evidently do gross injustice to large
body of organized wOrlingmen, in so far as
they appear to imply . belief in that city that
the knights of Labor rs an organization instI-
gated these outraScs or was in any way
responsible for them. There is not only no evil
dencc TO support that notion but it is on the face
of things impossible to believe that such an or
ganizatiUn has countcnanccd such Il crime. 1t
must be remembered that this is an organization
of honest American WOrkingmcn. The charnc-
ter of such men absolutely forbids the idea that
they would resort to measures SO dastardly and
SO criminal. Most of them are persons of some
common sense, and no man of common sense
can have failed to realize that such Outragcs
would harm the cause of labor without helping
it at all. In their contests with employers
organized bodies of worllingmen are not nfre-
quently led into wrong Judgments by strong
prciudices, false information or unworthy
leaders, but il is nevertheless to be remembered
that they are in tho main honest and law
abiding citizens, and industrious and faithful
workers, organized together for an honest pur-
pose. To imply that such body Of men would
dastardly crime, involving the lives of innocent
men, women and children. is simply absurd
The fact appears to be that this crime was
contrivcd by some members of a separate
organization, formerly called Knights of
Industry, which had been taken in as a lodge of
the knights of Labor, oficcs and all against
the wishes of many who feared that the character
of some members OF the organization would not
reflect credit upon the Knights OF Labor. But
even in this subordinate lodge it does not
appear that the crime was known to more than
a few persons, and it was by that body formally
denounced, and the guilty persons were
expelled and new officers were elected as soon
rs the facts were known. And yet so strongly
do the Knights of Labor resent the outrage
committed, that it is said the subordinate lodge
NAV even now be turned out or disbanded by
the main organization. Thus there is the
clearest evidence that the organization does not
deserve the suspicion which some excited minds
in st. Louis may have INDUCED. The slightest

TIT, cyoSr oF TYF HOESE SHOT.


The success oi:tlie Horse Show, which came to
an end Yesterday, ought to encourage the mana
gers to make every effort 10 gave an even ptttcr
exhibition next year. The show has now be-
come an annual fixture ana its SIZE ana excel
lence might, by iudciOus management be III
creased from year to year. 1t II noteworthy
that the least credtable part of the exhibition
this year has been the part that Is essentially
un-AmeIlcan. The hunter class, Tor IN
stance made but poor display. Inc
majority of horses entered as hunters
might with almost equal proprcty have been
entered as heavy draught horses OF horses Oh al!
work. Ii is almOStmpOSSlbic that at an Amcil-
can horse show there should be a really good
collection of hunters since hunting Is not ana
never will be an American pastlme. On the
other hand, fine rOadstcrs and trottlnS horses
must always be strong points of such cXilDl-
tions IN this country, and they were IN the
show lust closed. The managers have been
blamed in some quarters for catering to the
perverted tastes of Anglominiacs and proyid-
Ing little to interest admirers OF natlve-bOrn
breeds. This structure is undeseryed. The adj
mrers of trotting horses have been enthusiastic
over the collection Of stations which was
shown on Thursday and Friday. a show that
contains MambrinO King, Almont, j., Don
Cossack, King Wilkes. AlcyOnc, and other
trotting stations Of genuine merit cannot be
censured for lack Of Amcricanlsm.
The fault if there is any, lies with the
great mass of the visitors who come to
the show, and who seem to be more
interested in seeing a lot of screws put
over the hurdles than in all tho Uotung
horses that the country can produce. Efforts
/ should be made to secure for next year an even
! finer collection of native-bred horses than that
/ exhibited this year If the exhibition and
! Judging. of American horses are made the
primary objects, as to a certain extent has been
the case this year. the New York Horse Show
will acquire a National Importance. On the
other hand the trials of hunters tandems and
! four-in- hands appeal only to limited class in
and about the city, and can never be more
/ than PARKWAY imitation of English models.
