whether there is 70 be pardon or not; and
Belmore, who knows that all his sympathies
are on our side, is anxious to take him along
with US in every STEP"
Accustomed as I had been to see in Judge
only the awful being clothed in q medieval
costume, who dispensed life and death,
liberty and slavery, from the judgment seat
cou.'i hardly realize the fact that such u
man should be full of active human SYM
pathy, even on behalf Of fellow creature
whom he had just doomed to the gallows
So it was. however.
"Well, continued Harding, II had note
at four o'clock from Belmore to say that
Grange was very much pleased to hear Of
this discovery, which would OF course nead
to bo properly authenticated; but that som"-
thing further must be ob:ained-somethiIg
If possible tending to break down the ev''
dence as to motive-before any stops were
taken at the home office. You see it is not
a communication of the sentence that we
want-it Is free pardon"
"Yes," answered, feeling depressed and
disappointed, for had thought that all our
troubles were at an end now that we had
discovered the strychnia, u suppose we
must 60 on, but I confess that seem to be
at the end of my resources"
"Now, my good fellow, you must not give
up in despair. Let us wait until we have
caught Gregson. Who knows what he can
tell us2"
sat in gloomy meditation. Four precious
days had already passed. It is true that
they had not been wasted; but Daisy still
lay under her awful doom, which was
hourly drawing nearer to her. A heavy
sigh broke from my lips
Hariing, evidently anxious to divert my
thoughts, asked mo to tell him oil the par
ticulars Of my visit to the hall, and l COM
piled with his request.
"Havo you got the memorandum book you
picked up in the room Flinter had been

EYES," I said, and threw it across tho
table to him.
He openad it and looked at it long and
carefully. Alasl Nothing was to be made
out of it. Page after page was filled with

POLICY OF THE KNIGHTS OF La
BQR


This morning the semi-annual session of
the district assembly of Maine, Knights of
Labor, begins at Bath A large gathering of
delegates is expected. During the last six
months it is said that the order in Maine has
quadrupled in numbers. and the prospect is
that delegates will assemble at Bath from at
least one hundred local assemblies which are
scattered though the cities and villages of
the State. Like similar conventions that
have just been held in Massachusetts, and
Connecticut, this promises to be very i'm
portant event for the order. 1t is ON the eve
of national convention at Richmond and
Mr.. Powderly has warned the Knights to be
especially careful and vigilant in all their
proceedings. There is no evidence, howev-
er, that any of the Maine Knights hold to
those views respecting trades unions, which
have created trouble in the councils
in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and
which the Grand Master Workman has
condemned as pernicious. But there is a
prospect that another and equally important
question will be discussed at Bath. Mr..
Powderly has repeatedly condemned any
steps which would make the order a factor
in politics. But, in Massachusetts, the Wor-
cester convention has left it to the district
executive board to recommend to the Knights
the candidates to be supported in the State
election. The six men and one woman who
compose hat board are thus made very i'm
portant factors in the politics of Massachu-
setts where it is estimated that seventy-five
thousand voters are Knights of Labor. The
result of such a concentration of political
influence in a few hands cannot be other
wise than pernicious; and the friends of the
Knights of Labor in Maine will wait with
anxiety to see whether similar plan shall
be adopted at Bath. 1t is said that steps
will be taken to use the influence of the Or
der to secure legislature favorable to meas
ures like the ten hour bill, weekly payment
bill, and rigid enforcement of the law con-
corning child labor.
In any of this proposed legislation there is
nothing radical or unwise; the practice of
other States has shown that it is beneficial
and there is a general desire on the part of
the people Of this State, irrespective Of
party, to see such laws put upon the statute
book. But the Knights of Labor will do
well to lay their plans for participation in
the elections with extreme caution. Mr.
Powderly has warned them, the calamitous
experiences of other similar associations have
warned them that, while success may for
time attend their aspirations for political
