Labor and Politics.

The rapid growth of the knights
of Labor has caused considerable
anxiety among the politicians OF
Boston, who think they see eviden
ces of an inclination on the part OF
the knights to make their influence
felt at the polls. Although politics
is supposed to be tabooed in the as
semblies of the organization, it is
claimed by some of the members
that "a word passed along the line
will be sufficient to unite them al
most to a mau upon any and all can.
didates who are favorable to their
interests. A move is said to have
been started already, which, if ii
continues, may make the contest in
that city next November of peculiar
interest, and also test the strength
of the knights OF Labor in controIl-
ing politics. The Boston Herald
actuated by a desire to find out how
much there is in this movement, re-
Gently interviewed a prominent
member OF the order. He failed to
throw much ligh: on the existing
situation, prefering to let his pro
phetic vision extend into the politi-
cal haze of 1858. In regard TO the
next presidential contest he made
some observations which are OF spe.
cial interest to Pennsylvanians. His
deductions from the condition of the
political parties at present, the
events now taking place in Coa-
:5ress aud the solidifying of the la
boring men for purposes Of self pro-
lection, were that the race for the
Republican nominee for the prcsi-
dency has already begun, and Sena'
tor Edmunds of Vermont, is it with
Logan or Blaine as his competitors.
After expressing tie opinion tha,
President Cleveland would not be
renominatcd unless he should mate,
rally change his policy, the labor
representative continued Now,
what will the Democrats do if they
reject Cleveland No one can tell.
But it strikes me that Sam Randall
would not be Objectionable to the
Knights Of Labor was he nominated
for the presidency. l think Randall
would be stony man in the fight.
Before they get through, Blaine and
Logan will be at dagger's drawn
Randall would make a strong man
in some OF the doubtful States. and
that's just what the Democrats want.
Wait and see what time will de-
velop." The opinion was expressed
that Mr.. Randalps position on the
tariff would be acceptable to the
worklngmen, while he was not too
stiff protectionist to drive away
Democratic support.-Erie Herald.

fro BE

Mr.. Dolph, of Oregon, did a timely
service in calling attention to the great
number of private bills introduced in
the Congress and the extent to which
they absorb the time which should
otherwise be gwen to legislation. Pri-
vate bills generally conceal some kind
of a job. During the first fifty years
of the government the total number OF
such bills did not exceed 5000, while in
he forty-eighth Congress alone $3.50
such bills were before the House. 1t
would be a great advantage to the
country if a non-partisan judicial
tribunal were established to consider
private claims. This would prevent
the steals that arc usually pushed
through under cover of private bills.
