a WASTE OF TIME.
Why knights OF Labor Cannot Couutensuce
the store Order Ticket

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
The Knights OF Labor of this city have
adopted a memorial containing nine prOpUsi-
tions, which are to be presented to the con-
veutions Of both parties. As the RepubIi'
can convention was held six weeks ago it is
not possible to present the paper in question
to il, but IL may be submitted 10 the candidate
and TO Chairman Cooper for consideration.
The Democratic convention meets next
Wednesday, and the memorial may be pre-
sented to II.
But there are two propositions in the
memorial that precludes the possibility OF
favorable response from the Republican can
didates and Chairman Cooper. The first
proposition contsined.in,the memorial IS de.
mand for the enforcement Of the constitution
relating 10 railroads and the third demands a
law compelling the payment ofwages in legal
tender money az intervals OF not more than
two weeks at mills, mines and factories
The Republican convention rejected a
motion to embrace the first of three propo-
sitious in its platfoT Il, and the candidates OF
the party have accepted the platform with a
full knowledge OF that fact The second
proposition quoted is already covered by
| statute, but General Beavers nrm has been
| evading it by employing patent device
| known as "TTade Coupons" For the candi.
| dates to acquiesce in the first proposition
| therefore would be to reflect on the COnven-
| ton that nominated them, and to endorse the
| other would be equivalent to denounCing the
| head OF the ticket.
| The Knights of Labor are intelligent men,
| and they certainly understand the attitude O
| the Republican party and the Republican
| candidates on these questions. OF what use
| il II therefore TO waste time memorialiZine
| them? The proper way would be for every
| member of the order to denounce the Repub.
| lican ticket as the representative of a party
unfriendly to the interests Of workingmen.

A TEsSEL OF DEATH.
Twelve Sick People HuddIed In a Boat With a
Corpse-A SickenInR Sight

Corpse-A sickening Sight
At Evansville, Ind, Township Trustee
Spreget was notified on Saturday that his
services were wanted at the river He was
directed to small family boat lying near the
water works. The craft was a nondescript
vessel and bore evidences OF hard usage.
Its bow was STAYED and nearly the entire
roof blown OIL. The cabin OF the boat was
about ten feet long and twelve wide, and In
this miserable, cooped-up box were twelve
persons whose every appearance was an evi.
dence of pinching and gaunt poverty.
Hollow-eyed, ernsciated and with scarcely
q rag OF covering, they lay upon the bare,
dark floor Of the boat huddled together, and
all contending with that dread malarial fever.
In the midst OF them lay the dead body OF an
aged woman, partially decomposed. over
this piece OF rag carpet had been thrown,
the living occupants being too i'll to move the
body. The trustee at once sent for patrol
wagons and removed the sufferers TO tn o
hospital, and then an inquest was held, ver-
dict OF death from malarial fever being rem
dered.
George Rush, one of the occupants Of the
boat, was seen at the hospital. He was very
Ill, but able to give clear narrative of the
terrible and sickening experience to which
they had been subjected. The story, almost
beyond parallel, was as follows:
Until three weeks ago, George and John
Rusb, brothers, were farmers in Meade
county, Kentucky, about II miles from the
mouth of the Salt river. Their land was poor,
and 1t was with much difficulty that they OBJ.

THERE were 2Oo00 people at the Ogden
Grove, Chicago, gathering on saturday after
noon to hear Michael Dsvitts views OF the
Irish situation. ES-Congressman Finerty
presided and made n bitter anti English
speech, bubbling over with the spirit OF
venom and revenge. The sentiments were
spplauded to the echo. Mr.. Davitt earnestly,
but delicately, comhated the remarks of
those who preceded him, telling his audience
that " he, for one, had put aside the policy
of revenge" The chronicler states that these
remarks we're not received with the same
approval as the blood-thirsty expressions of
Finerty. Nevertheless they are the kind
that should be cheered to the echo There Is
entirely too much license given TO brswlers
OF the Fluerty type, who succeed in rising
above their natural level for time 10y the
arts OF the demagogue. Mr. Davitt did we'll
in rebuking him, and if Finerty had net
sense enough to appreciate it, it il all the
worse for him.

More Testimony as to the character and fur-
nose of Them


pose OF Them
The Philadelphia Press and others OF the
Quay Cooper Beaver organs having denied
that the Beaver nail company store orders
were issued for wages, and having as-
serted that they were published and given out
only for the convenience of the workmen,
the Bellefonte HdtchmdE prints some facts
which go very far to contradict this theory.
1t says:
If these are not store orders, what are
theys What were they issued Tor, II not Tor
the purpose of contining the trade OF the
workinsmen 10 the company store' Would
the Rellefonte iron and nail company issue
trade coupons for the purpose OF inducing or
allowing the men 10 deal at Harper dry
goods store, at Sechler's grocery, at Joseph's
or Loeb's, or any other store in the borough
OF BeletonteS Not at all. This store, they
say. is located mile from Bellefonte SO II
Is, but that IL no convenience To the men, as
but few of them live in its neighborhood,
and many of them live right IN the borough
where orders for goods OF any sort Will oe
filed and delivered right at their
doors So that the nail works
store is not convenience for the
men employed there, rs they would - a
general thing rather make their purchases in
town. They feel bound, however, to BUY
from the nsil-wOrks store, because they are
employed by the company, and they do not
feel like running the risk of getting the Ill
elsewhere. We eknow of an in
stance where forty dollars worth OF these
orders, coupons, shinplasters, or whatever
they call them, were purchased by n man ss
an accommodation, and when he presented
them at the company store and demanded the
cash for them he couldn't get II, but had
to take out his forty dollars worth in sugar
at eight cents a pound, which was half cent
a pound more than he could have pur-
chased the same quality OF sugar for in Belle
fonte.
There is another instance of a man who
took lot OF Beaver store orders and then
wanted to exchange them for nails at a hard
ware store in this place. He got the nails, but
he had TO submit To a discount OF ten per
cent. on his orders This shows that they
are very far from being held as cash by the
business men of this section.
There is another instance Of a man se!Ilng
one of the s. order books for g. 81 in order
TO supply himself with little cash, and also
of man selling a dollar order for - cents Tor
the same reason.
When an empIoye Of the Beaver 4 Co. nail
works peddles a three dollar trade
