THE Knights of Labor convention at
Cleveland has adjourned, after demon
strating that there are serious dis
sensions in their ranks, and that the
majority is not controlled by wise coun-
sells. Mr.. Powderly is left at the head
of the organization, but the advisory
board is largely made up of men who
are not in sympathy with the moderate
course that he has pursued. The rad
ical policy decided upon by the conven-
ton makes it plain that Mr., Powderly
has been overruled and defeated by the
men whose determination is to rule or
ruin. The convention voted to have
sent to congress petition for the
abolition of national banks; the estab-
lishment of government loan offices
the reservation of the public lands for
actual settlers only, and "that all lands
not under cultivation, owned by indi-
viduals and corporations, in excess of
one hundred sixty acres shall be taxed
to the full value of cultivated lands of
like character" the forfeiture of all
unearned granted lands; the immediate
patenting of all non-forfeitable lands:
the purchase by the government on
and after 1890 of all lands legally held
by nonresident ,aliens, and the pro-
hibition hereafter of the acquisition by
aliens of titles to lands in the United
States and the establishment of a grad
uated income tax. Some of these prop
ositions are well enough, but others are
absurd and impracticabe. Their open

The Caucus.

A good many uncomplimentary things
have been said of the caucus system
some of which are true, but many of
which are unwarranted The immature
critics and callow reformers find, APP
parently, great satisfaction in denounc-
ing all the known and recognized ma
chinery of political parties. This is
particularly the case when they have
failed to control the machinery to serve
their own purposes. In order to have
any efficient political action at all there
must be cooperation and organized ac-
ton, and in this country, and with our
system of government, the rule of the
majority must be accepted as generally
the safest and the best. The only per-
tinent question, then, is how best to CO.
operate, organize and ascertain and
proclaim the will of the majority. Thus
far in our political history no one has
formulated any better plan than that of
the primary meeting and the caucus.
1t is true that the caucus can be made
a bad master as well as good servant.
1t can be made to voice the sentiment
of the party, or to grossly misrepresent
it, There would be no trouble with the
caucus if the voters would attend to
their political duties. But when only
one in ten or twenty voters attend
caucus of their party, it will in many
instances be run by few trained po-
litical organizers, who proceed to carry
out pre-arranged programme, which
may or may not happen to be fairly
representative of the sentiment of the
party. However this may be, it seems
to us that the man who will not go to
the caucus should be content with the
action of the majority who do go,
whether he likes it or not. Instead of
ignoring the only practical methods of
giving effect to the will Of the people,
the republican voters should undertake
the safe and easy task of securing
through them the actual expression of
the sentiment Of the majority. The
remedy for the alleged evils of the sys-
tenn must come from a more general in
terest in primary meetings.

Mr.. Blaine on HOme.Rule.

Mr.. Blaine made an eloquent speech
at the meeting held in Portland to en-
dorse the home-rule bill. The speech
is generally considered by friend and
opponent as mastery exposition of
the Irish question. He finds that Ire
land, with only los representatives in
parliament of 65S members, can obtain
nothing that implies legislative power
That home-rule is essential to the re-
vival of prosperity in the island he
demonstrates on economic grounds. He
cites recent statistics attesting the won
derful productive capacity of Ireland,
and then explains why in the presence
of this abundance the people are pow
erty-stricken and often in want of food.
1t is because 729 men own one-half of
the soil, while the remainder belongs to
only an insignificant fraction of the
l ,250,000 adult males in the island. 1t
is because $116,000,0O0 in rentals and
taxes is wrought out of the bone and
flesh and spirit of the peasant that he
lies crushed. Mr.. Blaine says: 81
suppose if the question were left to the
United States to decide, we should say
Adopt your federal system; have your
legislature for Ireland, your legislature
for England, your Legislature for Wales,
your legislature for Scotland, and your
imperial parliament for the British en-
pire. Let questions that are Irish be
settled by Irishmen, questions that are
English be settled by Englishmen,
questions that are Welsh be settled by
Welshmen, and questions that are
Scotch be settled by Scotchmen. Let
questions that affect the whole empire
of Great Britain be settled by parlia-
ment in which the four great constitu-
tional elements shall be impartially rep
resented" The only criticism that
Mr.. Blaine's opponents can make upon
his speech is that it is an attempt TO
capture the Irish vote in 1888. But
Mr.. Blaine has expressed no views on
the subject that he has not previously
held, and besides, he advises the Irish
Americans against forming political
alliances here and " to mark any man
as at enmity with their cause who seeks
to use it for personal or for partisan ad-
vancement." 1t is probably true, how
ever, that the effect of this speech will
be to strengthen Mr.. Blaine's candi-
dacy two years hence.

Boiling i'm Advance.

The Providence Journal announces that it
will not support Mr.. Blaine if nominated
for President in 1888. The Journal is one of
the foremost republican papers in New En-
gland.-Free Press.
The endorsement by the Burlington
Free Press of a paper which, under its
new management, has become more
than half mugwump, is very significant.
1t seems to indicate that certain Jour-
nails, protesting to be republican, are pre-
pared to carry their hostility to Mr..
Blaine so far that they will not support
him, even if he is fairly nominated by a
great majority of the republican party
in 1888. In copying the foolish an
nouncement of the Journal, the Troy
Times well remarks that if its late prin-
cipal owner, Senator Anthony, was
alive, the Journal would not be in hot
haste to say what it would do or would
not do two years hence. 1t also says;
If the convention were to be held to-day,
or this year. whether the Providence Jour-

nal would like It or not, James G. Blaine
would, beyond all question, be the nominee
of the party for the first Office within the
gift of the nation. Mr.. Blaine has done
nothing to weaken himself in the good
opinion of the American people since he
ran for president against Mr.. Cleveland; on
the contrary, he has borne himself so gently,
and yet so grandly, that even his bitterest
enemies can bring no charge against him,
while the mass of his felow-citizens, of all
parties, feel greater respect for him than
ever before. 1t is the misfortune of this
country to-day that Mr.. Blaine is not Presi-
dent of the United States. He would have
policy which would put its impress upon
the public mind, If it did not compel legis-
lation upon the great economic and finan-
cial questions of the hour, with which con-
gress now dawdles and putters in vain,
and 1t would be bold enough to enforce re-
spect for American rights all over the world,
especially among our Canadian neighbors,
who have embraced the opportunity pre-
scented by Mr.. Cleveland's want of policy
and Mr.. Bayards inefficiency to attempt to
drive one of our great industries from the
waters of the American continent. Mr..
Blaine would have surrounded himself by a
cabinet of able men, who would reflect new
honor upon American craftsmanship, and
if one of them had dishonored his office, as
Mr. Cleveland's encouragement has done,
he would have been dismissed, and not re-
tanned to disgrace and scandalize the adj
ministration. Although Mr.. Blaine is no
pretentious friend of what is called civil
service reform the civil service of the gov
eminent would be in better hands and more
honestly and faithfully performed under
him than it is under Mr.. Cleveland. There
would be no pretence about keeping faith
full public servants in Office one day and
turning them out the next, to give place to
political favorites. We haven't much
respect for the intelligence of a republican
paper that in the light of Mr. Cleveland's adj
ministraton, as thus far conducted in illus
tration of democratic methods, says it will
not support Mr.. Blaine, should he be the
nominee of the party in 1888.

The OleOmargarine Bill Passed.

The supporters of the oleomargarine
bill succeeded in passing it in the house
on Thursday by vote of III to 101,
after the tax had been reduced-frst
from ten to eight cents, and finally to
five cents per pound. 1t was in no
sense party question, and the vote for
and against the measure was made up
of both parties. 1t was argued that
the tax of ten cents originally imposed
in the bill would prove absolutely pro-
hibitory of the manufacture of the but
ter limitations, and the opponents of the
bill insist that the tax of five cents
will tend to the same result. They pre-
dict that the bill will fail in the senate,
but this is not certain. The consti-
nationality of the tax is questioned,
but why it should be any the less con-
stitutional than tax on whiskey or
tobacco is not very apparent. There
are many who hold that legislation
upon this subject should be confined to
laws compelling sham butter to be sold
for what it is. But the advocates of
the bill claim that it is necessary to
raise the price of oleomargarine so that
it cannot compete so successfully with
the cheaper grades of butter.
The bill, as it passed the house, con-
tains the following features: Butter is
defined to be food product made ex-
clusively from milk or cream, or both
with or without common salt, and with
or without additional coloring matter.
Oleomargarine is defined as 60 all sub
stances made of oleomargarine, cleo,
oleomargarine oil, butterine, lardine,
suine and neutral; all mixtures and
compounds of oleomargarine, cleo,
oleomargarine oil, butterine, lardine,
suine and neutral; all lard extracts and
tallow extracts, and all mixtures and
compounds of tallow, beef fat, suet,
lard, lard oil, vegetable oil, annotto and
other co!oring matter, intestinal fat

ter or for butter" Special taxes are
imposed as follows: On manufacturers
5000; on wholesale dealers, $3.50; or
retail dealers, S4S. The existing inter
nal revenue laws, so far as applicable
are made to apply to these specia
taxes. Penalties are imposed on any
person who shall deal in oleomargarint
without paying the special tax. Pro
vision is made for the proper stamping
and labelling of every package of cleo
margarine. A tax of five cents a pound
is imposed on all oleomargarine manu-
featured and sold, and a penalty is pre-
scribed for the purchase or reception
for sale of oleomargarine not branded
or stamped according to law A mum
Der of sections of the bill are devoted
to providing machinery to carry The
law into effect.

The Eighth Vermont,

Another valuable contribution has
just been made to the military history
of the state in an admirable volume of
three hundred thirty-five pages, review
ing the operations and achievements of
the Eighth Vermont Regiment in the
war for the Union. AT the reunion of
this regiment last summer money was
pledged for the publication of regi-
mental history, and committee was
appointed to carry out the scheme con-
sisting of General Stephen Thomas,
Captain George n. Carpenter, Colonel
Herbert +. Hill and Captain S. E. How
ard. The duty of preparing the work
was assigned to Captain Carpenter, who
received valuable assistance from his
associates in the committee, and the
regimental secretary, DR.. G. M. Ferrin,

A Cynical Correspondent.

Mr.. Editor There is much talk in my
neighborhood about the great zeal now
manifested by Senator Edmunds in behalf
of the republican party and of the soldiers;
and when we find certain newspapers max
ing the most of what he is doing, while they
have but scant praise for the work done as
we'll and with equal honor by other men,
bers of our delegation, it is not difficult to
scent their purpose. Many soldiers cherish
a grateful recollection of the numerous IA
vors they received at the hands of Senator
Morrill,, Colonel Joyce, General Grout and
other Vermont representatives in congress
in the past, but until now they never had
much reason to expect substantial assistance
from Mr.. Edmunds. Many republicans will
prefer to consider his record in the great
struggle of two years ago and as friend of
the soldier previous to the time he began to
feel anxious about his reelection, rather
than the work he has since performed. / can
only hope that his great zeal will not all be
expended before his possible reelection, but
that he will continue in the line of good
works during his next term. Eleventh-hour
zeal is better than none at all, and it is
never too late to mend. Tonight l have
read the remarks of Mr. Edmunds ON Com
missioner Black and the Presidents vetoes
of pension bills. / think the criticism is
mainly just, though it is so plainly bid for
the soldier vote; and marvel if it ever oc-
ours to the mind of the distinguished SEN
ator that if he had discharged his full duty
to the republican party two years ago he
would not now have to waste any time in
attacking democratic administration? At
least some republicans would like to know
If he will support Mr.. Blaine should that
great statesman again be selected by the re-
publican party as its standard-bearer in
1888. Let us be fair let us be just to our
public men, but not at the expense of truth
and honesty. VETERAN.

anybody else does, that Edmunds elected

Central New York sick. There are two or
three thousand republicans there who, just
before the presidential election, appealed to
him in vain as the chief surviving stalwart,
to tell them what to do. He smiled and
kept his mouth shut. They thought he
meant bolt and they accordingly voted for
Cleveland, while he slyed home by night
and voted for Blaine, or says he did. He
elected Cleveland as truly as If he had taken
the stump for him." Eyes" said my friend;

elected Cleveland. But doesn't the very
fact that Edmunds elected Cleveland and
