OFF 10 THE COAST.

Only a few months have elapsed since
the editor returned from the last OF sew
eral extended trips which kept him
avav from home and his duties on the
paper q great deal-too much-and he
then resolved to stay at his work as
much as possible for the next wear, and
to not leave his post again unless the oc
casion was urgent. 1 believe the excep-
tional circumstances at present exist,
and am off for the coast.
I 90 to San Francisco to attend con-
ference which believe will be of great
Importance to the labor cause, not only
in the west, but throughout the whole
country.
I do not think it necessary at this
time to 90 into particulars upon the SUD-
iect, but hope to be able to soon send
a letter from San Francisco that Will

ceptable at this time, and l hope the

THE STRIKE.

The Southwestern strike it now ap.
pears is far from settlement in the way
that jay Gould would like it to termi-
nate. The anlmus of that autocrat and
his satellites seems to be understood
now by the most conservative of the
leading Knights and friends of organ
lied labor. The man must be blind in
deed who has not seen from the first
that Gould is bitterly opposed to every
kind of organization of the workers OF
the wrrld, and that the reason he hes
tolerated them as long as he hasis be-
cause he could not help himself
Now that Powderly and Turner OF the
Knights, apparently are awake to the
importance of the occasion, more de-
termined stand will be taken by the
Knights of Lrbor all through the coun-
try, and it is very probable that the
strikers will receive aid and sympathy
from every class of organized labor all
over the land.
The arrogant boast of Jay Gould, that
he would down the Knights; the stub
bornness of his lieutenant Hoxe, to-
gether with the snubs given to la5or's
representatives, has aroused the coun-
try, and the most determined war that
LABOR has ever waged against capital
during all history can be now conf
IDENTIFY expected, unless the robbers OF
the people cry, en- ugh.
The appeal of the knights, directly
interested, to the workers of the world
has touched responsive chord in the
hearts of their fellows, and the war cry
is now sounded down the line: "The
Order to the Rescue"
1t is quite probable, from the tone OF
late dispatches. that the engineers OF
tie Gould system will be called out as
the pressure brought to bear upon them
is great. and the studious and more
thoughtful of the Brotherhood see the
danger to their own organization that
will ensue from cowardlY and unfeel-
ing neutrality. The lesson of the strike,
let the end be what it may, will be-the
pipes of the enemy will always be met
by the slogan of the opposing braves.

ENGLISH RULE IN INDIA.

and Missionary.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
T.. at all preachers of the gospel are
not in sy npathy with moneyed monop-
oily, Denver furnishes more than one
noble example; but that too many of
them-as is natural to poor human
nature-deport themselves in such a
way as to please those WHO fill the pews
and pay their salaries is to obvious to
need proving. So inconsistent are these
latter with the manger- born. tramp
living and thief-accompanied, dying
Christ, that it excites no surprise or
comment when the news dispatches of
the daily press announce that one of New
York's most talented dlvlnes announces
as his text, "Was Christ Christian ?"
No less startling than the question of
the Rev. Heber Newton is the declara-
ton of Amarita Lal Roy, in the April
number of the North American Review,
that the strongest supporters of the En-
glish rule in India are the three inter-
ested industri 8, the mercantile, mill
tary and missionary" That the latter
hould be included in the list of sup

Benefit Ball

Local assembly 32Is ball of the eighth
held in the Mammoth rink, was a very
enjoyable party. Rev. Myron W. Reed
made forty-five minute speech which
was listened to with close attention
during the whole time. He told his au-
dience that Socialism was occupying the
minds of some of the most noted
preachers of the day. He gave Webster's
definition of che word Socialism and re-
marked that if that was the true mean
ing of the word then he wanted that
kind fism, and concluded Ey telling
his hearers that the only thing that
would benefit the workers was Universal
Cooperation. About 800 couples took
part in the grand march, ont Of an as
semblage of about 800. s-.

are to be paid price and half for over

suits in the ruin of those who resort to
such measures. If Pinkerton thugs and
regular soldiers are to be massed at
places where quarrels are in progress
between capital and labor, what is to

also? If the present course is pursued,
this will be the final result, and then,

Boycott Raised.

The boycott which was issued against
H. Schradsky, of this city, has been
raised by the executive committee of

is now on an equal footing with other
clothing dealers in the city. The terms
of settlement are wisely kept secret by
the parties interested, but Tue ENQUIRER
can assure its readers that the conditions
are entirely satisfactory to both sides,

THE CHICAGO BoyCotter says

THE Chicago Boycotter says; boy
colt the boxes of Maxwell Brothers,
who by tie introduction of machinery,
drive honest labor to the wall" The
boycott is too valuable a weapon to
waste in such actions as this. Ma
chinery has come to stay. The business
of the labor reformer is to makeit useful
to labor, not to prevent its introduction.
Imagine system where machinery
lightens tie labor of every one, then
reflect how we should regard a man who
would abolish machinery.

THE AHRAlesmEsr OF POVERTY.
BY G. H. MURRAY.

In all the broad universe is there aught
worse,
Than the bIighting effects of Poverty's
curse?
To feel that our fate is in full control
OF the monster that withers the hopes of the
soul.
On, demon of discord, DESTROYER of peace,
When will thy hate for humanity ceasee
Thy reign has extended through thousands
of years, 3
While the graves OF thy subjects were
watered with tears. ,. -
Thy record is sin since the dawning OF
time:
Fen beauty itself you turn into crime;
Your shadow is sorrow, your presence Is
gloom,
Your hope for the morrow, the mold of the
tomb.
If there is a haunt where contagion may
breed,
Thy form, cruel and gaunt, is sowing the
seed,
And famine stalks forth to follow thy trail,
With death close behind, chill, clammy and
pale.
Your lips arfybesmeared with the blood Of
the slain,
You laughed when they feared and scoffed
at their pain,
You fastened your fangs on the neck Of the
fair,
Unmoved by their pangs or their cries of
despair.
The tears of thy victims flow strong as a
food,
AS hunger consumes the strength of their
blood,
And the mother sits haggered with death in
the night,
Bemoaning her lost one struck down by your
blight.
Those who loved well you converted to
Doubt
Like an agent of hell you follow route
Oer things that are sacred, and mark them
with stain,
And shrines that are holy you are swift to
profane.
Friendship .succumbs to thy poisonous
breath,
And Love,-O God help us,-soon sickens
to death;
In bondage to thee what heart is secure,
For what can be worthy in him who is poor
His path is obscure; without sympathy blest
The journey is teilsome;-n haven of rest
Surrounded by tenderness brings him re-
lease,
Or quiets his heart with the solace of peace.
Cursed ghost of foul hell, why follow our
path!
We have prayed long and we'll to escape
from thy wrath;
Thy touch it is cold, and we shiver with fear
When defiant and bold thy specter draws
near.
Avaunt! thou grim gorgOn with eyes glar
ing red,
Humanity shuns thee and clothes thee with
dread
For in all the broad universe naught can be
worse
Than the blighting effect of Poverty's curse

The Great Strike.

ST. LOUIS, April 6.-The general xec-
utive board of the Knights of Labor
have sent telegram to Hon. A. G. Cufs
tin saving that his resolution for the ap-
pointment of committee to consider
the present difficulties on the Gould
Southwest system met with it's hearty
approval. They asked for its passage
and the immediate presence of the COM
mittee.
After the departure last night of Sec
retary Turner, of the general executive
board, for the principal strike centers ON
the Gould Southwest system, the re-
naming members of the committee an
nounced the unanimous determination
of the board of continuing the present
strike until an arrangement can be en-
tered into with Mr.. Hoxie restoring all
of the strikers to their former positions,
with the exception only of those who
have participated in acts Of violence and
the destruction of property since the
strike began.
The railway officials claim that the
continuance of their regular business,
which they say has now been fully re-
sumed, depends not in the least upon
the actions of anv labor organization,
and the freight blockade has been. per-
manently raised. They also claim that
they have employed sufficient number
of new men to render hem entirely In
dependent of the Knights, and that the
strike will come to naught.
The members of the general executive
board however, state that. they were
confident of the success of the strike,
"for," says Secretary Tuner, "the roads
cannot be operated without the Knights.
The skilled and unskllled labor in the
United State is controlled by our organ
ization. The statement that the com
pany is now carrying on its business is
not true, and he reports that they are
sending out so many trains are mislead-
ing. These are not trains some of them
are half trains, some are even composed
of less than that number of cars, and
some are empty cars, sent out to make
show"
ST. LOUIS, April 7.-To-night forty
Winchester rifles and thirty revolvers
were sent over to the Burlington Yards
for use in an emergency. Sheriff Ropi-
quet returned to Belleville at night, and
will have 400 deputies on hand to-mor-
row.
The railroad managers have made up
their minds to receive and forward
freight at all hazards tomorrow. Sec
retary Turner of the general executive
board is in Philadelphia. Powderly says
the strike is justified by reason of the
cool way in which Mr.. Hoxie received
Messrs Turner and Bailey on Saturday
last.
Everything is quiet at Fort Worth. At
Castleman Creek, near Waco, Texas, the
conductor of a train bound for Waco saw
masked men assembled on the track.
They waited for the passenger train to
pass the creek and then began tearing
up and destroying the bridge. A posse
from Waco are In pursuit and the Waco
light infantry are held under arms for
immediate service when called on.
The engineers employed upon the
railroads centering in East st. Louis de-
