TROUBLE IN THE X. OF L.

The dissensions in the K. of L. continue
to grow apace. In several States there are
assemblies almost in open revolt against
the Executive Board. Mr.. PowDERLY
viii likely be asked to call q special ses-
sion of the order to deal with the difficult
ties that have arisen. But whether he
does this or not, the outlook is regarded as
gloomy. Should he call the session, it is
feared that quarrels would arise that would
lead to disruption; should he not make
the call then it is feared that local assem-
blies viii continue to withdraw from the
order.
If the truth of the matter were gotten
at Mr.. PowpERLY's firm position against
the sOeialistic element would likely be
found the cause of the trouble. He is too
prudent and conservative for this element
in the large cities like Chicago and New
York.
This from Mr.. POwEERLY's letter to a
prominent New York knight will throw
some light on the subject:
1.-THE curse of the Knights of Labor has
come from the promptness with which
acknowledged leaders of the socialistic ele-
ment have put themselves forward at
meetings, and while speaking plainly hint
ed at the musket and gatliDg guns as the
remedy for labOr's grievances. Many Of the
men who advocate these principles (of so
cialism) do not understand them, nor d othey
care to understand them. They set forth
the only weapons by which labor can hope
to secure the desired reforms are the knife
and bludgeon. Men may entertain such
ideas as they please; they may advocate
them if they please, but they should not
seek, under the cloak of the Knights Of
Labor, to promulgate such doctrines and
make the order responsible for them. 1t
is my firm and honest belief that, as vast
as is this country, rs broad and extensive
as its territory, there is not room enough
within its borders for the exer-
else of a single rifle. / have no
respect for the man or men who
Will haunt the aCCuTSeu Teu Hay anu
advocate the use of the dirk and bullet
for 1854 days in the year, and who, on the
365th day, deliberately walk up to the
polls and vote for the continuance of the
system which they denOunce. | am sorry
that the order ever found q foOthold in
New York, for no good has ever come from
large cities, which are prolific of whiskey
and crime. Bah on the creatures who
stand up rs the champions of labor in the
presence of thousands of unthinking men
and advocate the knife and bullet, bah on
the men who haunt the red flag. They
are too vile to respect and too eOwardly to
uphold the American flag, sanctiied by
the blood Of patriots. They disgrace it
every time they 90 to the polls and vote
for monopoly and usury. They are not to
be trusted"

HONESTY.

1t Is said that the proceeds from the sale
of Gen. LOGAN'S book, the Great Con-
spiraey," will be about the only income
left Mrs. LOGAN. Ii is worthy OF praise
that several thousand dollars have been
raised for her by subscriptions from the
friends of the dead patriot, and that Con
gress will no doubt vote her a PENSION
1t was one of General LOGAN's com
mendable characteristics that he was an
honest man, and never tried to prostitute
his high office in order to make pecuniary
gain. When other men high in pub
lie positions were the proteges Of
men like AMEs and SHEPHERD, he,
LOGAN, never stopped to barter his man
hood. His position ON important commit
tees at different times subjected him to rs
great temptations rs other men who yield
ed to dishonest influences. Though LOGAN
liked wealth as we'll as others, he was con-
tent to live on his salary of So 900, rather
than turn a dishonest penny.
Though his enemies have at times
attacked his integrity, time has cleared the
accusations away and these former enemies
are now loud in praising his honest pur-
poses and pure life.
