A Cold Night When He Got Left.


On one OF the recent cold nights g
man was Fastening across the COM
mon with his overcoat buttoned up to
his neck. He was rather anxious 20
know what time 1t was, but he was
too lazy to unbutton MS coat in order
to get at his watch. Just then he saw
a man OF well-dressed appearance COM
ing in the distance, and remarked TO
himself:
GO to- / will cen ask yon genteel
stranger what time it is and he will
unbutton his coat, pull out his watch,
and exc inform me OF the hour OF the
might"
He perceived that the stranger was
buttoned up just as he was. When he
came up, the man who wanted TO know
the time touched his hat politely and
said:
"Sir, do you know what time it is ~
The stranger paused, removed his
right glove, urbuttoned his oveIcoat
from top to bottom, unbuttoned his
under coat and finally pulled out his
watch, while the cold wind beat
againet his unprotected breast
Holding up the watch so that the
light would shine on it, he scrutinized
it an instant, and said:
Eyes !"
And then ae passed on without an
other word

A Joint meeting OF district assem-
bles "a and 81, Knights OF Labor,
was held at Plasterers' Hall this even
ing to take action concerning the trial
and sentence OF the condemned An
archisss. District assembly 24 first
passed resolutions on the subject and
asked district assembly 81 to indorse
them. The latter body decided that
the subject was OF such Importance
that JOINT session OF both assem-
blies should be held at which all the
Knights OF Labor OF Cook County
could be represented. About 400
knights were present and the follow
ing declaration OF their attitude on
the verdict was agreed TO with only q
few dissenting voices
we believe that the verdict of the recent
trlai condernning seven men TO death and
sentencing one TO fifteen years iu1prison-
ment, was an outrage on common Justice
and an assault on free speech and the right
OF the people to peaceably assemble for the
discussion of their grievances. We believe
enat there IS an eyer-Inereasing sentiment
among the common people OF this country
that our courts OF Justice are too fre.
quentiy manipulated il the interest OF
wealth aud power, and that those who
are poor are frequently outraged in our
courts IN the name Of law. Believing that
the late trial was conducted by the prose-
cutlon With malice aud p-eja lice, siiziDg
as Il did, lnformers, disreputable Pinker-
tons and perigrsd Gilmers, and a bailiff
who declared that he would not -uusnon

press the hope that the supreme court Cf

mon people, namely, that the courts Of
law are onIyin the interest Of the rich. nav
not find additional proof IN this ins -ancs.

Secretary Martin refuses 20 say what

large number OF influential lodges have

lodges are inclined to identity them

that, to use their own expression,
"the conflict against capital can be
more formidable on the part OF labor. T"
While the great body OF the members
seem TO be opposed to merging the
Amalgamated Association in the
Knights OF Labor, the movement to
organize in both unions is still going
on. While these men do not wish to
abandon the Independent union, they
wish also to have the advant ages de-
rived from being in the Knights OF

motion for the total abolition OF the
Offices OF sub-preIects, promised that
ne would introduce a bill providing

Prime Minister De Freycinet supported
NJ. Sarrien and reproached the oppo-

was offered to overthrow the govern

adopted the motion for total abolition
by a majority Of thirteen votes, thus
defeating the government. There was

was announced the sitting of the

that the cabinet might consider its
