strong opposition to his course and
opinions was manifested in the recent
Knights of Labor Convention at Gle
veland. and that he was so impressed
by il that he rendered his resignation
and laid down his gavel. Persua-
sion induced him tn change his mind
and retain his office, it is added but
the fact is conveniently ignored by
the party giving this information
Mr.. Turner, Secretary of the order
that the Executive Committee was
at the same time so readjusted as to
practically deprive the General Mas
ter Workman of the power which he
had previously held TO enforce his
views and purposes. As matter OF
simple fact, the relations of Mr.. Pow
derby TO the knights of Labor are now
nothing more than those of figure
head, and so far as definite authority
is concerned, he might as well he
an ordinary member of the organiza-
ton as its apparent chief leader and
most trusted prophet.-GlObe Demo-

New York City is honored, or its
dudes and royalty worshipers proba-
bly, consider that it is honored, by the
presence of a real bona fide prince.
Certainly a young mau who may, in
a certain contingency, become the
head of the only independent nation
on the American continent still cling
ing to a monarchial form of govern
ment, is just now in the metropolis.
This young man, who is the grandson
of the Emperor OF Brazil, may, be-
cause of his remoteness from the
throne, there being one or two nearer
heirs, escape the toadying such as
New York usually bestOws with
offensive prodigality on all sprigs of
royalty that come within Its reach.
Nothing but the good sense and good
taste of his grandfather, Dom Pedro
himself, who would not permit such
displays, saved that individual from
being feted and worshipped when he
was in New York on his visit to this
country about ten years ago. The
memory of the ridiculous obsequious-
ness shown to the Prince of Wales,
enc or two Jspenese princelings and
King Kalakaua, however, in New
York, ought to impel the newspapers
of that town to take a decided stand
against the repetition of such Stiffness
in the uture.-Globe Democrat.
Texas must needs be sitting in
sackcloth and ashes these days reques-

western State cannot be expected to
rally under a quarter of a century.
Mr.. William III. Dana, of Rochester
entered free-for-all shooting contest
at Houston few weeks ago, and al
though the local competitors were
many he won the first prize, making
score of 80 out of a possible 80.
That's what's the matter with Texas
beaten at handling a pistol by a
lad from Western New-York. If
Texas had been vanquished at revis-
ing the Bible, or at the Concord
School of Philosophy in a discussion
on the authorship of SHAKESPEARE, or
if Dana had got decision against
her on some fine point of social eti-
quette, she wouldn't have cared so
much. But to have Dana of Roches-
ter teach her how to shoot New

Old Red Cloud, the Sioux Chief,
who has been trying for years to Sc
cure the removal of McGilicuddy,
the agent at Pine Ridge, has been
executing an epistolary double shuttle
since that officials decapitation, writ
ing letters to the President and men,
bers of his cabinet daily expressing
bis thanks and prophesying eternal
peace between the reds and the
whites. Be ides conveying other in
teresting information, Mr.. Cloud tells
the government that his heart is now
good, and so long as McGilicuddy is
kept out of sight all white mem are
his brothers From the fact that the
new agent has given the chief 900 ex.

his stomach is in a pretty fair cendi'
ton, also.-St. Joseph Gazette.
