THE Chief of the Knights of Labor has
directed that no money be raised in the
order or by its members in aid of the con-
demned Anarchists at Chicago Which is
wise action on the part of Mr.. Powderly.
When the knights first became prominent
we expressed the belief that the chief
virtue in its organization was the promise
its existence gave of Withdrawing from
the influence of Anarchists, Communists
and Socialists, the workingmen who were
being deceived by social sophistry, and
mislead by false and dangerous doctrines
of a so-called new code of political
economy and social ethics. The action of
their Chief in commanding the Knights
to withhold aid from the Anarchists is
simply in line with the announced prin-
ciples of the order. But we have little
faith in the command having much effect
upon the radical elements within the
organization. They will simply ignore it
and what can Mr.. Powderly do about it
The trouble is his order has too many
diverse constituents. Its construction in
wolves too many men whose purposes are
common in only one thing, the attainment
of higher wage and the reduction of the
output of physical energy. But the means
to the end they approve are opposing
and conflicting, and but the few are tenn
perate. Those who entertain sympathy
for the bomb-throwers, will be restrained
only outwardlyb by Powderly's order. Those
who believe dynamite bombs are proper
agencies for the reconstruction of society,
will secretly continue to raise money to
succor the condemned, whose execution is
vexatiously delayed

THE REAGAN BILL.
The Merchants of San Francisco Fear Its
Passage.

The Merchants of San Francisco Fear Its
Passage.
TSan Francisco Post
Judging from what representative bust
ness men are saying, the San Francisco
merchants do not relish the idea of the
Reagan interstate commerce bill passing.
The bill has not yet been reported, and it is
not known whether it provides for uni
form rate per mile or special rate for long
distances, which must not be exceeded for
shorter hauls. Either would mean disas-
ter to San Francisco, Sacramento, Los An
gees, Stockton, San Jose and other Caliior
MIA distributing points. Said a heavy
importer this morning: THE Reagan bill
is the work of men who don't understand
what they are doing, if their object is to
benefit the merchants. Why, take San
Francisco for example-and the same rule
will apply to all other cities it would ruin
San Francisco to have such a law. At
present San Francisco, and by that mean
all the other competitive points, has the
lowest possible rate, because sea freights
keep down the railroad rate, but if the law
compelled railroads to charge less for a
shorter haul, remember that San Francisco
has nothing west of it except Honolulu
and little trade in Central America. Her
trade comes from Nevada, Montana,
ludQO, aIlZOUd anu SdlllOruld, WHICH
all lie east of here, or in other words they
are all nearer the Eastern source of supply.
So it will cost less to ship goods to Reno,
Sacramento, Stockton, Los Angeles, Tue,
son and other points than to this city, and
so merchants will either have to keep
branches in those towns, move their stores
there, or lose trade. All of which would
hurt this city. 1t will help the other places,
some one will say. But no; their trade all
comes from east of them, and they, in
turn, will lose their feeders, who will go
into business for themselves. Sacramento
would lose the trade of Reno, and Reno
would lose the trade of Paradise, and so
on. The same result would occur all along
the line from east to west. Chicago would
lose all the trade it does in Boston, Phila-
delphia, Cincinnati and other towns. Kan
sas City would lose all its trade from north
and east of it. The same would occur if
the charge were exactly the same for
shorter distances instead of being more, as
at present, because of the difference in
time Reno would save three days by
direct trade with the East, and Tucson
| would save five days, and SO on. 1t is all
very well to talk of the injustice of the
present system, but nature fixed it, not the
railroads. 1t just this way"
Here the speaker drew diagram like
this

and continued:
" The base line represent the line from
New York to San Francisco. That is the
lowest freight, because water competition
of steamers and clippers forces the rail-
roads to keep down their rate to figure
that will compete with ships. Now, as you
go from New York or San Francisco the
rate increases, and to get at it they add the
local freight to the through freight, SO, you
see, the rate is highest in the middle ofthe
continent or approximately so. Here,
again, water regulates the rate, for if man
don't like the railroad rate he can have his
goods shipped to the terminus by water,
and back to his place by rail. That is the
basis of all charges, but of course the rail-
roads have to vary to enable some indus
tries to exist which need lower rates than
the average, and must have them. It's all
right to have freight wars, but the expe-
rience of last season sickened US on that.
tell you, it is easy to talk about regulat-
ing railroads, but some OF the demagogues
would make mess OF il if they lad their

can meet the der1and for employment by
having such Work done, it should do so.
But the creation of work purposefully to
give employment one part of the peoE lie
at the expense of all is not wise policy,
nor Is it at all likely to be adopted by
Congress. The duty devolving upon the
administrators of the Government is to dc
all things needful for its proper conduct
and appertaining to its legitimate fune-
tions; but these do not include the sup
port at labor of any part of the people,
except when there is need to dc work.
The resolution that brings the matter up
recites that there are about ], 000sfs00 work
inpmen in the United States out
of employment. This is greatly
exaggerated figure. In 1880 there were
of bows. girls, women and men II 100000
following wage-winning vacations. The
Cleveland Leader has been calculating the
increase in six years and places the aggre-
gate as still below 2O,000,000 of both sexes
who would be at work as employers or
employees if all had sufficient work at this
moment. Now there are over 5,000,900
farmers having some interest in the realty,
and over 100000 manufacturers, profes
sional men and merchants in the Union.
There cannot, therefore, be 100000 able
bodied male workers in the country, nor any
thing like that number. But if there were,
to say that 100000 are unemployed would
be to place every tenth man as idle. That
would make 800 unemployed men in Sac
ramento alone an absurd figure. If Chi
nese are excluded, and the classes that will
not work, and those that cannot work, it
would show that.fully 700 are in this city
who want but cannot get work, a statement
so utterly at fault as to excite contempt for
the basis of the estimate.

LABOR FALLACIEs AND ExTRAyAGayT
FIGURES.

The idea has been advanced in Congress
by resolution that the Government should
provide work for the unemployed work
ingmen of the country. 1t is an old idea.
and not fortified by sound argument. The
spirit of dependence upon the Government
must not be encouraged. 1t is the very
worst thing that can be done for the labor
ing classes TO weaken the sense of selfde-
psndence and the need for personal en-
ergy. When the Government has work to
do-work that the necessities or progress

IDAHO.
Alleged Facts Concerning the Late Kill
ing of Two Miners.

SALT LAKE, December 23d.-The Soda
Springs, Idaho, special to the Tribune says
On Friday last the dead bodies of Chas. E.
Reed, shot through the head, and Captain
John VIM, with the back of his head
crushed by blunt instrument, were found
in their cabin near Caribeo, forty miles
north of this place. John Williams tells a
story to the effect that while returning
from hunt he stopped at the cabin of
Reed. and asked him TO examine his rifle.
which was accidentally discharged in Reeds
hands, the ball passing through his head,
and causing instant death This melted a
quarrel between VIM and himself, and he
was forced to kill VIM in self-defense.
Coroner Bassett and Sheriff Taylor left to-
day for the scene 10 hold an inquest and
arrest Williams. Reed was a brother-in-
law of City Attorney White, of Ogden, and
Winn was well known. Both victims were
highly respected, and were engaged in
mining. Williams is not well known. and
is suspected OF being deserter.
