Knights had no just grievance. These men
were politicians, and would have been glad to
have found against the corporation If posi-
BILE, especially against railway controlled by
Jay Gould, whose methods every honest man
in the country despises, and who is justly I'M
der general condemnation. Mr.. Powderly.
after careful examination, decided
that the strike was causeless, and
ought not to be prolonged. These facts
should be remembered. BY the testimony Of
their own friends and officers, the knights of
Labor are solely in the wrong for the the ex-
listing strike, and wholly responsible for all
the trouble. and loss and damage that have
resulted. The business of the company has
been wrecked and paralyzed, its property de-
stroyed, and its power to earn and to employ
severely and savagely crippled. During the
whole progress of the conferences be-
tween Mr.. Powderly and the officers
of the company it was distinctly stated that
the company would not discharge any of the
men employed in place of the strikers who
had abandoned their employments, and would
not take back into its service any who had
been instrumental in the destruction of its
property. Besides these two classes specially
excepted, the company is not in condition
to at once re-employ the full force of men at
work when business was running smoothly.
These exceptions Mr.. Powderly and his
board agreed to when they accepted
MIR. Hoxie's propositions, and every
honest man, who believes in the rights of
individual free labor and in the supremacy
of law and order, will say they were just and
right.
Now Mr.. Irons and his colleagues doggedly
assert that none Of the Knights will return
to work unless all the strikers are received
back by the company; and thus the matter
stands, the strike being still on, bad blood
being engendered by the delay, bust
ness continuing Frustrated, and the railway
company and the leaders growing further and
further apart each hour and each day. It is
to be hoped, from every consideration, that
when the general executive board get upon
the scene of the trouble, and come into direct
contact with the men and with Mr.. Hoxie,
a speedy and honorable peace may be
effected. Both sides must yield; concessions
must be made in the interests Of the general
public.

A BILL to prohibit women from encouraging
the butchering of plumage birds by wearing
them on their bonnets is before the New York
Legislature, with good prospect of passing.
1t might have been thought that the many
questions arising out Of the condition Of State
and municipal government in New York
would have absorbed all the energies and at
tentions of the statesmen to the neglect of
rules for trimming bonnets; but there is, it is
plain, no limit to the powers of great minds.

The increase Of current township expenses
under Democratic control necessitates the rails
ing of more money. This will be done by
increasing the valuation of the homes of the
township. This may not be very agreeable
to the owners of homes, but it is required by
the Democratic officials, and will have to be
submitted to for the next six years. The
plain duty Of the voters of the township is
to Dust the men who have created this me-
cessity and those who see no other way out
of the dilemma than to increase the peoples
burden.

The President and his Cabinet are said to
be considering the question whether Geroni-

it would be more fitting if the dignitaries at
Washington were to consider the preliminary
problem Of how to catch their Indian.

A VETERAN" cards the New York World

an insult to his memory to put it on "silver

ton is to honor the memory of Thomas A.
Hendricks in the manner indicated. There
is no lie on the silver certificate. It promises
to pay dollar for dollar in silver, and nothing
more. The obligation will be honored, SO

CENTER township has had a very expensive
experience with Democratic trustees, and
should not continue it by electing a Demo
cratic successor. 1t is evident that the plan
is to continue the extravagant system, and
more money is called for accordingly. In
deed, if indications may be trusted, it is ex-
pected to increase the extravaganza, and
more money is asked for accordingly. It is
for the people to veto this proposition, which
they will have an opportunity to do on Mon
day next.

of Labor. He takes the right view of this
kind of infamy. The Knights cannot afford
to shield such fellows. Anarchy and COM

The crimes against railway property, COM
mitted by strikers at Atchison, Sedalia and
other points, should be rigidly investigated
and the perpetrators condignly punished if
identified. 1t will not give the Knights of
Labor much credit with the public to read
that a lot of property was stolen from the
round house; and which will be returned by
the Knights when the difficulties are settled
The taking of the property was plain, unvarn-
ished robbery, and the men who took it were
thieves, and should be punished as thieves
The Knights must not allow themselves to be
placed in the position of Fences for stolen
goods, nor Of apologists and defenders of
scoundrels who destroy property and leopard
ize life by crime. The attitude taken by Mr..
Powderly and by the executive board must be
that of every self-respecting Knight
Of Labor who cares for his own
future and the continued welfare and
influence Of an order which, if properly
conducted, is capable of so great good to ev-
cry workingmnn in the country. Their lead
ers disown any idea Of sympathy with these
miscreants and pledge themselves to see that
they are expelled from the order if they can
be detected and exposed. To accomplish this
the efforts Of all true knights should be uni
formly exerted.
