A Fair Statement of the Case.
Las Vegas Optic (Republican)I


The Optic to-day presents an interview,
held by Jap Turpen, with Attorney General
Garland, and although it is brief it is poin-
ted and throws considerable light uDon the
Pan-Electric telephone scandal. so called.
good ma Y people who would really like
TO see the Attorney General come out of the
controversy all right and have not been bril-
bed to manufacture public sentiment against
him, have been embarrassed by the fact al
legged that the telephone stock had been pre-
sented 10 Mr.. Garland and be, as a United
States Senator, ought not to have accepted a
present of that kind because of the remote
possibility that his official action might be at
some time invoked in the matter. This itself
is not valid objection, but casuists might
easily stick at it, as some of them have done
but it now appears from Mr.. Garland's state
ment that he bought his stock, paying val
liable consideration for il, and any other
man, no matter how obscure, could have
purchased II upon the same terms. This
being true, further adverse criticism of Mr..
Garland can be prom oted alone by I'M
worthy or dishonest motives.

publicans only had fifty nine members, not a
constitutional quorum, and they could not
afford to loose single representative. These
members were directed on a certain night
previously agreed upon, to retire one at a
time from the hall and have their places
taken by men from the Hunkidoris. The
United States lieutenant who was to COM
msnd the guard that night was bitter Re-
publican partisan and had agreed to give all
the assistance needed 70 des' roy the Demo-
Gratis. The night arrived and arrangements
to execute the plan were begun, when to the
astonishment of the Republicans they found
that the officer in command of the troops was
not their man, and furthermore, that he re-
fused TO be sp: rty to any such murderous de-
signs. Thegame was blocked, and before ii
could be rearrsnged the leading Democrats
bad discovered the plot, and in order to svoid
bloodshed had left the State-house. These
facts are said to have been furnished several
yt arsafterward by +. w. NJ. Mackay, who was
sneaker of the rumphouse and the leader oil
the Republicans"
That's all very fine" observed the other
land 1t makes my blood run cold nine years
altermard to hear the subject discussed in
that way. But, gentlemen, in my opinion,
there was never any danger of a conflict
The Republicans played bluff game and
won. We retired without just cause and
should have waited until were put out
at the point of the bayonet."

To prevent mustard plaster from blister

Boiled starch can be much improved by
the addition of little sperm or little salt,

To remove liquid grease from a carpet,
dust powdered chalk over the spot and rub
it in well with the fingers. After allowing

FARM NOTES.

Be sure your seeds are fertile before plant
ing.
Plant grapevines and plum trees about the
poultry houses.
The average yield of wheat in Great Brit
ain and Ireland last year was thirty-one
bushels per acre.
Mrs. Harrison, the bee writer, says the
Florida climate is so damp that comb honey
can not be produced there.
In buying thoroughbred stock be sure you
are getting that which is eligible to registry
in the Herd Book, and well bred besides.
The best bred stock costs the most money,
but its produce brings a great deal more
than the produce of that which is not so
well bred.
As a rule, the greater degree to which
farm products seeking market can be con-
centrated in bulk and weight, the greater
profit to the producer.

b. F. Johnson, of Champaign, Ill, thinks
cresmeries, by furnishing the public with a
hrst-olass article of butter, have done a.
much as bogus butter-makers to lower the
price of poor dairy product.
Grape cutting for spring planting may be
made now. Cut into convenient lengths for
packing. Tie cuttings into small punches
and pack in sand. standing them on end to
remain until needed for use.
Stick in an elm tree or two occasionally
among your grape vines. They add TO the
appearance of the vineyard, and also afford
protection in times OF high wind. They are
regarded as valuable in every way.
The frs; requisite for high success in the
dairy is a good dairyDan. Cows are i'm

HEAD OF THE HALF MILLION woRKMKN WHO
CONSTITUTE THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A startling statement is that of a recent
writer, who says that five men in the United
States control the chief interests of half a
million workingmen, and can at any mo-
ment take the means of livelihood from two
and half million souls. These men COM
pose the Executive Board of the Noble Order
of the Knights of Labor of America. The
germ from which an imposing organization
of half million members has grown was
planted in 1859 by Uriah S. Stevens, of Phil
adelphia, the city which is at present the
headquarters of the Order.
Terance V. Powderly, head of the Knights
of Labor, is also head of the Executive Conn
mittee of the organization. By virtue of
holding these offices. for which nature and
his attainments abundantly qualify him, he
is one of the most powerful men in this Re
public.
He was born at Carbonate, Pa, on Janu-
airy "a, 1S49. At an early age he was placed
in shop, where he learned the trade of ma
chinist. In leisure hours he applied himself
to self-improvement,a and acquired a consid-
cradle acquaintance with mechanical en-
gineering. He was nineteen years of age
when he Joined the Machinists' and Black
smiths Union of Scranton As the presid-
iug officer of this ocal body he manifested
marked ability, foreshadowing his future
| supremacy III an organization of national di-
mansions.
Mr.. Powderly joined the Knights of Labor
| in 1874, and shortly after was elected the
| Secretary of District Assembly in the
order. He still holds this office. The first
| General Assembly of the Knights was held
| in 1873. Arrangements leading to it were
largely furthered by the intelligent energy
| of Mr.. Powderly, who from the date of its
| first General Assembly has been probably
| the most prominent man in the order. He
| has been elected its head six times. In 1877,
and again 1878, he was elected Mayor of
| Scranton, Penn, which is the place of his
residence.
| The head of the Knights of Labor is an
| impressive and eloquent speaker, and his
| success as a leader of men and promoter of
| measures is further promoted by his gent
atty of disposition aud ready wit. His ca
pacity for work is astonishing, result, per
| haps. in part attributable TO his lifelong alb
| stinence from liquor and tobacco. 1t is
| stated that he receives more letters, and re-
| plies to greater correspondence than any
man in the United States; and that he is one
of the very few men able to write letter
and dictate another to typewriter at the
| same time.
