THE refusal of the Western assemblies Of
the Knights of Labor TO pay the assessment
asked for by Grand Workman Powdery is
the subject of much comment amongst la
Dor men, ana what 1t portends is difficult to
conjecture at this time. 1t may mean that
the laboring masses are awakening to the
fact that striking is business that don't
pay, and that they put their seal of con-
demnation on it by refusing to pay an as
sessment, the proceeds OF which 60 to
the support of the strikers. If this be the
case, then the Knights of Labor have half
covered the ground which leads to success.

Col. Villas has saved hs salary for this
year and the rest Of his term by making
the clerks earn theirs. Under a section of
the General Statutes the members of the
Cabinet are required every winter to tell
Congress how many clerks they have in
their employ, what their names are, how
much they are paid, and whether they
work as they ought TO. There is also
clause in the law which says the Cabinet
members must state whether the public
service would not be improved by dispens-
ing with some of these clerks, and whether
their removal and the substitution of 9th
ers is not required for the better despatch
OF business. Col. Villas has footed M the
absences in his department the past wear
anl finds 1864 days were taken off by his
clerks, an average of rs days and 45 min.

department month there are p working

ARCHBIsHoP RYAN, of Philadelphia, has
caused much commotion among the man
ayers of the Catholic Charity Ball, which
for several years has been a brilliant social
and financial success in that city, by calling
attention TO the fact that The Third Plenary
Council of Baltimore in its decree prohibits
all balls for charitable institutions. He
says that none of the proceeds of the ball
can be devoted to charitable objects.

TARIFF REVISION.

II has been the policy Of the government 70
collect the principal part of its revenues by Il tax
upon imports. aud no change In this policy is de-
slrable. But the present condition of affairs con
strains our people to demand that by "a revision
ol our rtxeme laws the receipts Ol the govern
ment shah be reduced to the necessary eynsnsn
Ot lts economical administration, and this de-
mand should be recognized and obeyed by ,he
people representatives In the legislative branch
OF the government.
In readlusiing the burdens Of Federal taxation
u sound nrblic policy requires that such of our
citizens as have hult up large and important IN
uIstneS under present conditions should not be
suddenly ana to their injury deprived of advan-
tagts to which they have adapted their business:
but II the public good requires it they should he
content with such consideration as shan deal
tairly and cautiously with their interests whIe
the Just demand of the people for relief from
needless taxation is honestly answered
reasonable and timely submission to ,uch n
demand should certainly be possible wltho .iS-
