THE CLEVELAND ASSEMBLY.

The General Assembly OF the Knights of
Labor now in session at Cleveland is doing
excellent work in the cause Of labor. Dis
sensions were feared. but have been nap
PLY averted. In the lAbor troubles which
have agitated a large part OF the country
it has been shown clearly that there are
diverse tendencies in the Order. One part,
represented by Grand Master Workman.
Powderly, is opposed to strikes and boy
colts, except, perhaps, in extreme cases;
the other side, which is popularity identifi' d
with Martin Irons, seeks to use those dan-
gerous weapons on every trifing occasion.
The one party is peaceloving, seeking by
moral-means and diffusion of enlighten.
ment to secure for the laborer his proper
share in the product OF his toll. The other
is aggressive and spelling for a fight. Hap
PLY the PowderlJ party seems to be in ab-
control Of the Assembly. This is a
good thing for the workingman and for the
country. Many reforms have already been
made by the Assembly and more are
to follow. It has been repeatedly
shown in recent troubles that the local
have the power to do great
mischief by hasty action. It is proposed
to restrain the assemblies by requiring
their resolutions to be approved by the
General Executive Committee or by State
Councils before being put in force. This
step is imperative, if the usefulness of the
Order is to be maiataine' \. At one time |

clearly the mistakes that have been
made. They have shown, also, the danger

HERR MOST, through his paper, continues
to publish ~incendiary articles. The two
following were in the last issue at hand:
The police boast that they hava in their
possession a new weapon which will be
found extremely valuable against insurrec-
ton. This "iLsurrection gum" as the
thing Is known, throws small balls with in
credible swiftness and works wonderfully.
All in vain. Insurrection guns can do
nothing against instruction bombs" One
OF the faithful speaks: The workingnen
in Chicago by the influence of our comrades
have accomplished something, but natur-
ally such a disunited movement could not
do much. Therefore, comrades, hold last
together + i y Blood-red one day will
dawn-the day OF vengeance! and blood

terror and anguish over those who now OPP
press us and overwhelm us and throw us
into prison for our free speech. Comrades,
it is your duty, therefore, to see that that
day shall break as soon as possible. Agi-
tate untiringly, and when the time is ripe
we will strike like one man," Herr Most is
now serving a years sentence in Black
wells Island, and the world will for that
length OF time have a rest.

In a recent speech Fred Douglass re-
marked: "Thpre is a chance just now in
OR National Crngres. for the development
If a great man." Referring to the utter
anres the B"ston Herald says: But
now ere, in either party, is q man to be
sen who stands head and shoulde rs above
his fellows, and commands a following by
the force OF his intellect and the God-given
capacity OF leadership. But somewhere in
tie poce.s a "f evolution there is a great
man coming forward. 1t il to be
hop,d he will be perfected before
The ,,ext Congress meets" While there is
much truth in the statement it is q little
too swe ping. There are now in Congress-
it number of able, brainy men OF force and
character, but there is no oct aston to raise
them above the level Of their associates.
Men do not make opportunities. The re.
verse is the rule. There has never in the
history OF this country been a time when a
leader was needed that the man was not
found and equal to the emergency. We are
as rich in great men rs ever before, and
thy will naturally come to the front when
their services are required.

Total decline in seven companies" s., $4,000
That is, the market values OF stocks OF
only sevel of the lax companies have been
depressed by the Calumet & Hecla 1O-cent
sale about two and a half million dollars
or four times the entire value of the
copper sold, or about the value OF
the entire output OF the Calumet q
Hecla mine Tor six months. As, however,
but few sales are made in these stocks, the
loss on actual sales has been small; but it
shows in a very striking how the
value OF the stocks of the entire list of the
lake companies is in the keeping Of a f-w
gentlemen, and how easily their responsible
trust could be abused were they of the kind
that has made the Comstock and some
other Western camps a by-word. We
would suggest that when the Calumet &
Hecla again proposes making what is still
believed in the trade to be an unneces-i
sary cut in price, it call the stockholders
OF the several companies together, or even
it's W stockholders, and show them the
above ~tabulation, when, no doubt, they
will promptly, in their own interest, buy
up the five, ten or twenty million pounds
OF copper it may have to sell, and quietly
dump it in Boston harbor, to join another
Objectionable cargo, of which some of them
may have heard. 1t would be an excellent
investment for them, as they can easily see.
But what should be done with those who
unnecessarily cause such a decline in the
price OF copper and the value Of stocks?"
This arch-enemy Of the Butte camp is un-
usually smooth and oily this week. It is
rather difficult to determine just what the
Journal was driving at in the foregoing and
it's thrust at the Calumet & Hecla manage
ment in the final sentence is really funny.

The l'aris Figaro is complaining because
French papers have been Americanized. 1t
is not clear what is meant by this word.
But the article intimates that it is because
OF goesipy personals and the poor style
in which the articles are written. The English
papers feebly re-echo this criticism. Now
as a matter OF TACT the most gossipy
paper published in this country is Town
Talk, OF New York City. This is

We have not a paper as a

paper would publish a sensation like that
in the Pail Mall Gazette Of a year ago. We
are not as good as we ought to be. But We
like people who are no better to
throw stones at us. The American news
paper with all it's faults has enough merits

The Boston Commercial Bulletin has
been making inquiries among the architects
OF that city. and finds that the May strikes
have had the effect Of suspending invest
ments ag.regating 81. 00O, 1000. Il is be-
lieved that the present would have been
the greatest building year since 1874 OF the
year following the great fire, but the uncer-
tai"ty caused by the labor agitation has
caused capitalists to postpone action. The
Bulletin further says that about 40 per
cent. of the work offered the architects
during the past week is now hung up in
their Offices. The collapse Of the strikes
will cause some Of this to b. proceeded with,
but the more extensive building plans will
be postponed until next year, for the rea-
son that they could not o be advanc d
far enough to get the lathing and plaster
ing done before the winter. These are some
of the inevitable consequences OF strikes
which the men who undertake them never
appear to take into consideration before
hand, though they themselves are always
the chi"f sufferers fr..m the withdrawal OF
capital and the suspension Ut improve

COLONEL CARROLL D. VIRGINS reports
while he was head of the Massachusetts
Bureau OF Lab 'rStatistics were among the
most valuable contributions to the litera.
ture OF the Labor question. lie showed
wisdom both in directing the gathering OF
statistics and afterwark in combining them
and discussing the results. 1t was his spe.
cial rbility in this field that caused him to
be appointed by President Cleveland as
Commissioner OF the National Bureau of
Labor statistics. He is reported to have
ordered a special investigation of the recent
strikes and labor troubles throughout the
county. This work will undoubtedly be
we'll done, and his determination of the
lessons taught by experience will carry
weight with the people. The Congressional
Committee, which is investigating the same
subject, has labored with exceptional dill
gence and it's reports also will be valuable.
II these two authorities indicate the same
course OF action, there should be no hesita-
ton on the part of Congress in passing
such measures as they suggest. legislation

what 10 clearly known to be necessary

The gentlemen OF Lincoln Post, Grand
Army Of fthe Republic, are naturally indig-
nant at the manner in which the afternoon
paper reported the sudden death of their
late comrade. John Madden. That he had
failings, no one denies. but it is asserted by
those who know that death was not ca used
by drink. Mr.. Madden was an accom-
plished gentleman, and had a record as a
gallant soldier. He ever had a kind word
and act for his old comrades, and in the
days Of his prosperity and adversely he
omitted an opportunity to do them
any needed service gratuitously. Whatever
his faults, he had as pronounced virtues,
and "a they stand around his open grave
to-day, the men who knew and respected
him will pay tribute to the memory of a
brave and brilliant man, whom misfortune,
not vice, had reduced in circumstances,
but who through all the vici. STUDIES of for
tune never forgot that he was a gentleman,

THE brief and pointed staten

THE brief and pointed statement made
by Mr.. Powderly relative to his alleged
political aspirations, that gentleman COM
p!etely covers bis maligners with shame.
1t bears the impress of the sterling man.
hood that has made him so important a
factor in thu social agitation now pending.
Success in promoting the interests and
improving the condition OF the workingmen
by means OF the great organization he leads
will rebound more to his honor than the
election to the Governorship Of any State
in the Union. His acts have stamped him
as a leader SO far and he cannot afford to
lay down his uncompleted work for the
bride of political preferment. Mr.. Pow
derby has found his mission, and it will be
to the disgrace of the laboring man if he is
continued in his exalted position.

In the course of a very temperate argu.
ment incidental to the fisheries question
Mr.. Fdmunds to-day, in the Senate, told
some wholesome truths. He showed that
it was the duty of the Executive and not
the Legislative branch to protect COM
merce, and did the Administration the
justice OF saying he supposed they were
proceeding with the matter as fast as the
exigencies OF the case allowed. He suggested
that a violation OF the Canadian local laws
by the masters Of our vessels was a subject
for adjustication by the Canadian judiciary
but he took good care to state further that
in protecting the rights OF it's citizens
the Government was not bound by such
and if Canada was now trying by
the purse she was pursuing to force us into
a treaty she might find out her mistake,
His reference to our lack of a navy and our
coast defenses was coupled with
the assertion that in the event of a trouble
would be amply competent to maintain
our honor and prestige. Outside the do
main OF party politics Mr.. Edmunds is one
the most reasonable of men and when he
discusses law he is in his element.
