Trades Unions Determined 10 Pre-.
serve Their Organization.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 18.-Oficers
of twenty national trades unions met here
with closed doors this afternoon to take
united action. 1t was stated to resist the
encroachments being made upon open
unions by the Knights of Labor. VIM. We'll
of Pittsburg, president of the Amalgamated
Society OF Iron and Steel workers, pre-
sided p. J. Mcguire of Cleveland, who
represented the National Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, acted as secretary.
and Vice President John S. Kirchner
of the Cigarmakers' International
union as sergeant at arms. Twenty
delegates representing the National Trades
of the following trades were present: Coal
miners, printers, iron mOlders. cigarmak-
ers, carpenters, bricklayerS, iron and steel
workers, furniture makers, granite cutters,
lasters, bOilermakers, BAKERS tailOrs, metal
workers, nailers, heaters and rollers, boot
and shoe stitchers and National federation
of trades. Letters pledging themselves to
stand by the action of the conference were
received from many other organizations.
The thirty-two associations represented by
delegates or letters were claimed to have
total membership of 377, 736, The repre-
sentative Of each organization presented
its grievance. AT the close of the evening
session, which continued until after mid
night, the secretary stated that resolutions
had been adopted, declaring that in view
OF the success that had attended
the efforts of the national and interna-
tional unions in the past, they should
strictly preserve their distinct and individ-
ual autonomy, that it is not deemed advisa-
Die for any trades unions to be controlled
by, or to to join the Knights of Labor in
body, believing that trades unions are
best qualified to regulate their own in
ternal trade affairs The resolutions
further declare it is the purpose of a certain
element OF the Knights of Labor to destroy
the trades unions, and that this element
makes 1t point to encrOach on the mission
and prerogatives of trades unions, arOus-
ing the antagonism and provoking dissen-
slons IN the labor movement to the delight
and satisfaction Of the capitalist. The
conference, however, concluded that some
concerted plan of action was necessary to
prevent continuance of this destructive
policy, and to establish harmonious and
fraternal relations between all the various
branches of organized labor. and paper
was drafted with this object in view,
to be presented as a treaty for the consider
alton of the Knights of Labor, which will
meet next Tuesday at Cleveland. The ma
ture of the terms was not disclosed. They
will be submitted to the general executive
board of the Knights of Labor on Monday
next by a committee.

The Girls Of Cherryvalc.

Kansas, the land of corn and content
ment. says correspondent of the Mime
apolis Tribune, is prolific also in fair wo-
men and brave men. Your Kansas girl is
as plump as a partridge, as coy as quail;
healthy, hearty, active, independent, and
happy as the big sunhowers of which that
state is so justly proud. And there is
spot in Kansas where female loneliness
seems to have been crystallized and con-
centrated, as itwere. That elysium is very
aptly named Cherryvale. Cherryvale
Vale of Cherriesl Name suggestive of
coral lips and rosy cheeks. Name full of
sweet and juicy promise. Ones mouth
waters when he attempts to pronounce the
luscious word and he thinks of ruby treas
ures half hidden in bright foliage-delicious,
but hard to get. And the maidens OF this
modern paradise are just as pretty and
sweet and plump as the fruit of whose
praises we sing, for, in the language of a
newspaper printed in that Utopian village,
Neither hustle nor corset is worn in
Cherryyale."

SENATOR'S ON PROHIBITION.
MIR. Vest of Missouri Relates a Little
Story About Mr.. Plumb of Kansas.

Senator Vest has sufficiently recovered to
appear daily in his seat. Vest is a wit and
a natural story-teller. On an excursion to
the Yellowstone park he so charmed Presi-
dent Arthur with his ready wit and never
falling supply of amusing stories and in
cidents that he was marked favorite with
the president and at the White house
during the remainder of Arthurs
term. To small group of
jolly friends chiefly Senator Vest not long
ago related his experience in drinking
bout with Senator Plumb. The Kansas
senator is shrewd politician and appre-
ciateS the Importance of conciliating the
temperance sentiment in Kansas, which was
powerful enough to fasten prohibition on
the state. Plumb is very discreet in his
indulgence in intoxicants, but he loves a
drink 1gOod whisky as much as any Ken
tuckian. Vest said that he, Plumb and two
others engaged in small game of poker,
and yielding to the allurementS of the
game kept it up until a. m. They drank
freely, literally, all through the night,
and when the circle broke UP Vest con-
fessed that they were all drunk, very
drunk" Vest described Plumb's ewes as
rolling, his legs as twisting and his head as
manifeSting an obstinate desire to bob over
first to one side and then to the other Vest
succeeded IN reaching cab, and upon ar
irving at home threw himself upon bed
and slept until about noon. He saws that
he awoke with head Oh him that felt sew
eral times its natural size, but he dragged
himself to the senate chamber. With his
head throbbing as if it would break, he
says he got to his desk in the senate cham
Der and dropped into his seat. He
dropped his aching head upon his
hand and supported his elbow upon the
desk. feeling wretched. He says he heard
a voice loud, clear and emphatic declaiming
upon the evils of intemperance and earn
estly advocating some pending measure for
the forcible restraint of the liquor traffic.
BY a great effort he turned his aching head
so as to get view of the speaker. and in
his inimitable way Vest describes Plumb as
he stood pounding his desk. and with the
earnestness of preacher at a baptizing,
enlightening the country upon the joys of

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY

On Saturday next the members of the
Presbyterian general assembly will visit
Manchester college about IL IN. On the ar
rival of the train at the station the st. Paul
committee will meet the members with a
hundred or more carriages and drive them

spent in examining the building and grounds
the committee will be conducted in car
riages to st. Paul by the way of Summit
avenue and driven through the business
and resident portions of our city. reaching

THE SWEETHEART IN PoL1TIcs.


a garrulous young Cleveland lady who
was Miss FoLsoM's classmate at Wells
has been telling the Cincinnati Enquirer
good many thugs connected with the school
life of the future mistress of the White
house. Among other things of a gossipy
nature that Miss FoLsoM's classmate re-
lates of her, is story that at the last COM
mencement of the school, at the time Miss
Folsom graduated, an old lady from Os-
wego came down ostenslbly to attend the
commencement exercises, but in reality for
very different purpose. The old lady in aues-
ton was a Republican in her politics and
near relative Of the Republican partisan
who was postmaster at Oswego. The Re-
publican postmaster had taken an active
part against the Democratic ticket in the
last election, and naturally enough expected
TO be bounced on the charge of being an
offensive partisan. 1t seems that he had
an inkling of the love affair between the
new president and Miss Folsom. With a
shrewdness that is characteristic of these
offensive partiSans he detailed his ancient
female relative to 60 down to Wells at the
school commencement and try her luck in
an attempt to control the president through
Miss Folsom. The young lady was ap-
pealed to and consented to try and induce
the president to be lenient. How well she
succeeded may bejudged from the fact that
while the Democrats Of Oswego have
clamored with loud and unanimous voice
for the removal of the Republican partisan
from the postofice, that individual con-
tlnues to hold on and hobs up just as
serenely as if there had been no change of
administration. It is one of the caprices

THE LAND GRABBER.

The land shark is a very old offender.
From away back in very early period of
the worlds history, when land first began
to assume a property value, the land
grabber began to apply the tricks of his
trade to defraud his brother of his real es-
tate possessions. Then, as now, it occasion
ally happened that men of social distinction
and political prominence engaged in the
nefarious work and resorted to just
as mean devices to accomplish their
purposes as they do in these times.
JACOB was a very illustrious man in
his day, and yet he played as scuryy a
tEick bn his brother EsAU as one man
could play on the other. And when poor
EsAU had been robbed Of his birthright
and appealed to the supreme judicial
tribunal for relief. it happened, just as it
sometimes occurs in these days. that ISAAC.
who sat as president of the court, affirmed
REBEKAH's decision, and gave ESAU's

In some form or other. devices have been
Invented to rob one man of his pro-
berty and transfer it to another
With an attempt to justify it upon
The ground of public necessity. The de-
lice of modern times is the tax law. Under
he plea of enforcing the collection of pub
lie revenues the tax laws have been dis
lorted and perverted into instruments of

they are construed by the judicial tribu-
halls are worse than confscation acts. I'm

being robbed of it by stealth for the
benefit of some individual speculation,
Is is frequently done by the tax
laws now on the statute books. Public in
eignation has long enough ago been aroused
because of the unjust features of our land
tax laws, but public indignation doesn't
amount to anything in opposition to oFgan-
lied scoIndrelism, unless puqlic opinion as
sumes an organized form. Therefore the
9ction of the meeting last night in the
chamber of commerce building in this city
Is the first effective step that has been taken
TO protect the citizens of Minnesota from
the operation Of their own laws. The or
ganiZation of an association to fight the
land grabber and to hold hin in check until
the legislature cOnveneS and reyises the
statutes relating to the collection of taxes,
is movement of practical utility. The
only danger TO be guarded against is that of
allowing the land sharks to capture the as
ISOLATION and pervert it, as they have the
laws, to their own nefarious purposes
There is not much danger of this being
done, yet it is point to be guarded.

CHICAGO AND THE N1fLLERs.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
voices again the sentiments which that
journal has long entertained toward the
Minneapolis millers, when he roundly
abuses that association and asserts that its
dissolution was due to the action of certain
Chicago operators in engineering
squeeze" which left the Minneapolis
men and their friends high and dry with
empty pockets, thus causing internal quar-
rels leading to the disorganizing of the associ-
alton. 1t would seem that the Chicago
spectators are laying the flattering JUNCTION
to their souls rather prematurely. There
has no doubt been considerable disapprovai,
perhaps i'll some instances not entirely I'M
founded, expressed concerning the methods
of the association, but the time has not yet
arrived when an organization of prominent
and substantial Northwestern business men
can be driven to pieces by Chicago stock
jobberS.

The Star Reuters in Sorry Luck.

New YORK Star.
The great old star route trials force them
selves upon public attention every once in a
while. Poor Dorsey, out in the far
West, is a physical wreck, and if any one
doubts that Brady is going the same way,
let him wander into the Astor house early
of an evening. Perhaps he will not see
Brady, but more likely he will. If he does
see him he will be convinced of the truth of
what l say. There one sees eX-Postmaster
General James occasionally and Gen. Ell
mer, Brady's successor, now head of great
manufacturing business in the city. Elmer
doesn't like James, or rather James doesn't
like Elmer, because the latter expressed
the opinion in an official report that James
was as wasteful in his expenditures in the
railway mail service as Brady had been in
star routes. The other evening Elmer and
Frank Hatton happened to sit at table at
the Union League club next to one at
which Mr.. James and some of his friends
were seated. James nodded to Hatton and
glared at Elmer "Well," said Frank. ''he
feels worse about it than we do. We're
like the old man who was beaten by his
wife. Don't stop her, he said, it does

series of rebutfs because of her sex. These
frequent denials had made her leader among
those who were contendipg for the principle
of female equality in the eyes of the law.
The more she was martyrized the more
conspicuous she became as leader. 1t
only needed the refusal of the highest judi
cial tribunal IN the state to complete her
crown of martyrdOm. 1t must have been a
severe disappointment to her when the
seven judges granted her application to
practice without turning a word. She is
now only feeless lawyer, and no longer
the leader OF cause. The judges were
right about it. If woman wants to prac-
tlce law, and anybody will employ her, she
ought to have the right to go ahead.

His wants have become but a few.

And dimes on a ''chop'' or stew

The 'sboards'' where tragedians roar
The madison Square and 'sBijou'-
The fair prima dounas that soar
All these doth he strictly eschew;
He consorts with the stockings called

And SO you may rightly conclude
He's abjured both the card and the cue.

The may cotillion no more
With ardor his brain doth Undue;
The maidens who thought him bore

But he seeks in retirement to WOO

All his shekels; hence mournfuI of mood.

ANTICIPATING TROUBLE.
Police Guarding the st. Louis. Mo.
RreWeries

ST. LOUIS, May 1S.-On information re-
ceived at police headquarters late tonight
the authorities called in all the police
reserve and took large number of the
patroImen from the down town districts
and sent about 100 men each to the brewery
of Joseph Schneider on Chouteau avenue,
Missouri and Mississippi avenues and to
that of Charles G. Steifel on the corner of
Fourteenth and Mullany streets to guard
them against an apprehended assault. The
precise reason for the movement by the
police is not known outside of their circles
but there is some sort of trouble not clearly
understood between Messrs. Schneider &
Stiefel and their employees and threats are
said to have been made, or intimations
thrown out, that there was to be demon
stration of some kind made against the
breweries tonight and the police are sent to
them as a precautionary measure and to
protect them should an assault be made.

GOLD RosEY,' CONFIRMED. so

Gen. RosECRANz has scored another
victory. His confirmation by the senate
yesterday to the Office of register of the
treasury was as decisive triumph IN the
face of great odds as ''OId Rosey'' ever
gained on the battle field. BEN BUTLER's
opposition was positive help to Gen.
RosECRANZ. There was a time when
BUTLER's nod was power in making
and unmaking men. But that was at
time when congress was filled with
senators and representatives who thought
more of securing stock in some Credit Mo
bilier enterprise than they did of the public
welfare or of the reputation of war veter-
ans. But that time has passed and Ben
BUFFERS influence has gone with it. It is
refreshing Illustration of the progress the
country is making toward purer and bet
ter government when the opposition of
man like BUTLER counts for nothing.
