Mr.. INGALLS, is one Of the most ultra re-

also one OF the ablest men in that body, and
possesses in remarkable degree those es-

the courage to express it. In his speech
yesterday he said he twas not one of those
who believed in non .partisanship in politics.
Political parties were Indispensable to free
government. He had no patience with the
men who believed it a badge of virtue not
to belong to political organization or that

independence of his party" There would
be no risk in asserting That every man with
common sense who heard or who has read,
or who will read, these words Of the Kansas

THE RAILROAD strikes in the West have
caused the railroad companies the loss OF
millions of dollars. But those who imagine
that that loss will not be made up in the
end know very little of corporations own
ing railroads, or even of human nature.
There is, of course, only one way by which
the loss can be made up-an increase OF
freight charges; and as their freight consists
chiefly of the necessaries of life, by far the
greater part of that loss will fall upon poor
people, who, as well as the rich, must eat,
and who, being nine times as many as the
rich, must buy nine times as much food.

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 81.

MR.. PowDERLY, general master workman
of the knights of labor, has, at last' oone
what, for the best interests OF the organlza-
ton Of which he is the chief, he should have
done long ago, issued a circular declaring
against strikes and boycotts, as OF all tnipss
the most injurious to the cause OF the WORK
inc mon of the country, and assuring tne
KNIGHTS that unless they obey his orders
thew must look out for another Chief. he
saws truly shat while an injury to one IS
the concern of all, it is not wise to injure all
for the benefit of one" He also says, u am
ashamed to meet with clergymen and others
and tell them our order is composed OF law
abiding, intelligent men, while the next dis
patch brings the news of some petty boy
colt or strike" He concludes by warning
them against having any thing to do with
politics, and against letting political dema'
pogues influence them. Chief engineer Ar
thur agrees with Mr.. Powderly, and goes SO
far as to predict that some OF the recent acts
of the knights will work the destruction OF
their order. He says, "they strike, and strike
means assessment. Assessment means death.
Regarding their system of boycotting, will
say that our organization will have nothing
to do with it. We do not believe in boy
cotting $3 day man in the samo organl'
cation with $3.50 day man." 1t ishoped
for the good of the country, and therefore,
necessarily, for the good of the workingmen,
who compose nine tenths of the men of the
country, that this wise, though late, advice
of the leaders of labor organizations may be
adopted. Under the system now in vogue Ia
Dor organizations are forthe benefit of bad, at
the expense ofgood workmen. Why the latter
have not seen this from the first is hard to
tell,
