AS HE is In THE MIRE.

Another delegate said the stock yards
employees had neither asked or taken such
action vet and when they did it would be
time enough for the assembly to act. At
this point Chairman Crawford ruled that
as the resolution virtually contemplated q
boycott the Assembly could take no action
on it but to refer it to the Boycott Board,
which was done.
Acting under instructions from General
Master Workman Powderly, T. P. Barry
will. contrary to announcement, not so to
Richmond, but will remain here and con-
tipue his efforts to bring about a settle

speedy adjustment of the trouble, on what
basis he could not say, but be was OF the
opinion that a compromise OF some sort
would be effected. He said be had been au-
therizcd by Powderly to settle the diff
cultv and was invested with full power to
act. --.s Il = - sssvs-.,sy

The X. of, l..

RICHMOND October 10 When the Gen
eral assembly of the Knights of Labor
went into session this morning, no one
could answer positively whether
it would take final adjournment to-day or
prolong itself until tomorrow. The refer
ence of the greater portion OF the pro-
posed revision of the constitution to the
executive board and committee Of four
with final reference to local asseLo biies, has
saved much time, and there now remains
to be disposed of the reports OF only half
a dozen special committees, the commit
tee on finances. appeals and grievances.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The general assembly continued the con-
sideration of the report OF the committee
on appeals and gr evances and adopted
resolutions deciding that members of the
International Cigar Makers Union must
elect, whether they remain members OF the
Union or of the K. of L., but that they
cannot remain members of both. The re-
port of the committee on finance was pre-,
sented and adopted. 1t provides that the
salary of the grand master workman shall
henceforth be SIS, 200 O year, and that of
the general secretary and treasurer and
secretary $4,000, and that members OF the
executive board and general worthy fore
man shall receive $500 per day and ex-
penses while on duty. A resolution was
adopted providing when the assembly
meets tomorrow it shall remain in session
until it's business is concluded.

CHICAGO, October 17.-One hundred ad-
ditional Pinkertons arrived at the impro-
yised barracks in the stock yards this
evening. The force now numbers 45O men.
The strikers came before the Trades
Assembly to-day and raised quite a
commotion. T. j. Lyons introduced a
resolution holding P. D. Armour RESPONSE
bile for the strike and at the bottom Of the
trouble. The resolution also called on the
Assembly to use it's influence to induce ali
persons not to trade at a shop where
Armour's goods are sold. The introduc-
ton of the resolution brought q number OF
the delegates to their feet instantly. A..
Cameron vehemcntly asserted there was
not scintilla of proof to show that Ar

packers, and he was opposed to singing

TIE LoYous CHRISTMAS.

How sacred anniversary came TO be
made a jubilation, Is the tribute of the
mind Of man through eighteen centuries
to Che great revelation that disenthralled
humanity from dogma, and taught it to
find its God just where the intellectual
and moral development called for "a single
great truth to break the difficulty, and
solve the problem which had involved
and tangled the thought Of man.
When man, after long ages of idol
worship, could not comprehend that thc
same Supreme power of the Universe
could be mcrciful and just and crucLthe
revelation of Christ taught hiln that
there was a construction, perfectly har-
monious and just, that he must accept,
though he had not the intellectual capac-
fly TO understand if.
Man is born in a State Of war, and the
elements of nature seem to be always at
war, yet eternal peace is The result, and in
the small affairs of men the philosopher
explains how war produces good results.
Taking only the worldly mans view,
without trespassing on the pulpit, it can
not be denied that education has advanced
Christianity particularly since the wave
of unbelief represented by the Encyclope-
dist philosophers in the time Of Voltaire.
Atpresent while a certain grade ofintellect
pretends to argue itself out Of belief in
Christianity, the great aggregate of the
educated world admit the theory Of
Christianity, and only doubt its forms
which are, after all, only the human
Interpretation Of divine principles
The Duke of Argyle lays down this
principle: It is proged IN nature h0t adj
oerse elements uakno1on to each alter By Il
principle uDlaorn to themselves, act in en-
cert to produce d result that is degelopment
5eyond tie iadjriduality Of ejtter.
And this, says that great thinker,
proves that there is an architect outside
and Independent Of us that controls our
existences by laws that, as far as we have
gone yet, we cannot understand.
The belief in God being settled, what
is the difficulty about that simple and still
sublime, faith which teaches US that the
accidents and wrongs Of life are naught?
For out of suffering comes purity, and
out of wrong comes right

ENGLAND.

The sudden resignation Of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill occurs on an issue that
partly breaks up the policy Of the domi-
nant party towards Ireland; and the Gov
ernment must necessarily find itself seri-
ously embarrassed on that question for
lack of the strongest mind in the min
try.
Some Of the London papers speak with
great severity Of Lord Churchill's retire
ment in the face Of a great difficulty, and
fears Of a disaster are apparent in the
general expressions of opinion on tine
prominent subject Of craftsmanship, the
only apparent remedy being The appoint
ment of Lord Harrington.
1t is stated in European papers gen
orally, that Russia and France are both
irritated at England's utterances on the
Bulgarian question, and at her position
in the management Of Egyptian affairs.
At home and abroad England is con-
fronted with trouble But it is not al
together intelligent TO predict, as some
do, any very serious disaster, for it is the
same England that has weathered 50 many
storms by her nerve and sense.
If Lord Churchill can draw off a sufli-
cient number of the House to oppose
Lord Salisbury's policy Of coercion, and
make a combination with Mr.. Chamber
lain, the Government may be defeated.

There has been for years great diff

simply charging the annual appropria-
ton, increasing the number of military
articles that may be purchased with ii for
distribution TO the States, and declaring
the proceeds United States property, TO
be annually accounted for The Senate
bill called for S600,00Oa year. The House
reduced the amount TO 100000 Pos
sibly conference may settle on round
half million but even the House propo-
sition doubles the existing appropriation.

We published some ume ago critical
report of the Wabash railroad case in
volying a principle of interstate com
merce in which the court stated that reg
ulation of railroad traffic partly in one
State and partly in another must be con-
trolled by national authority. The Su-
preme Court Of North Carolina has just
affirmed this principle. The State law
prohibited any railroad corporation Ope-
rating in the State from charging greater
amount for transportation of freight over
its road than was charged for transport
ing the same class Of freight over any
portion of its road an equal distance.
The court decides that this law is invalid
in so far as it applies to traffic originating
beyond the State on the ground that it
undertakes to regulate commerce between
the States
