THE so-cALLED LONDON RIOT.
n Y. Sun.
No candid man can scan the accounts OF
this affair without conviction that the
NEE ting of London wOrkingmen was, IN IN
tent and fact. rightful and peaceful DEM
onstration, and that but for the wanton and,
as it turned out, futile aggression OF Ine po-
lice, it would have broken up with no more
disturbance than the House of Commons.
AS to the pilfering and uproar that followed,
this was evidently caused by the thieves ana
blackguards who are always to be found on
the outskirts of crowd. Regarded as row
the incident had rather ridiculous than ap-
palllng features. There was no Dlood-let-
ting, not even from the nose. There was
some busy pocket picking, in the course OF
which, as we are gravely informed, an Irish
peer lost his watch chain. But to describe
tumult of this kind as riot to be put do Wn
with musket balls and grape shot is a gross
ABUSE OF language sure to engender resent
ment which may yet lead to terrible re-
prisals.
HOW IT AFFECTS MAINE.
Congressman Dngley
The new Morrison bill hits Maine indus-
tries and products very hard by putting
dressed granite manufactured lumber. haT
and potatoes on the free list. Now the duty
of from 10 to 20 per cent. on improved manu-
featured lumber, 10 cts. per bushel on pota
toes, and 20 per cent. on hay, very largely
prevents Canadian competition. The pro-
posed reduction of duty ON potato starch will
be likely to stop the Aroostook starch in
dustry. The reduction of duty on woven
goods would seriously affect the wool and
wooden industries, as under the present tar
iff over S26, 100000 of wooden goods were i'm
ported last year. believe the bill will be
nearly unitedly opposed by the Republicans
of the House. What will be the fate of the
bill in the House is uncertain, as it will be
likely to be greatly changed before vote is
disposition on the Republican side to allow
the bin to be fully considered on its merits,
and not to join in any movement, to strike
out the exacting clause before the bill Is con-
sldered by paragraphs.

Ed. FREE PRRss The condition OF
tho great strike is changing for the

by tide managers Of tho Pacific Rail
road to run ont freight train this
morning proved q complete failure,
Business men in tho city are desperate

The severe cold still continues at
this point and throughout the State,
A heavy snow has been falling here

engaged in a searching investigation

JAY Gould Speaks.

Jay Gould, on his return from Ha-
vana, has been interviewed at Jack
sonville, Fla, by member of the as
ISOLATED press, on the subject of the
strike. 1t is the first that has been
heard from him on the subject:
Tho strike on our system was
complete surprise to me for two rea
sons:
First-We had acceded to all
demands made upon us by our en-
ployos, and were supposed to be
working in harmony with them.
Second-The present strike is
made upon an issue with which we
have nothing to do, and which we
cannot possibly arbitrate or control.
1.-THE present strike" continued
Mr.. Gould, "originated in the dis
charge of an employee named Hall, on
the Texas Pacific, which road is in
the hands Of the United States court.
We have no more right to attempt to
control the working of that system
than the workingmen themselves, and
would be as completely incompetent
to do So as any outsider.
Regarding another aspect Of the
strike, Mr.. Gould said: 1.-The pub
lie may not be aware of it, but the
same issue was raised when some
men were discharged on the Wabash
railway, at the time when it was in
control of tho United States court.
Powderly, chief of the executive com
mittee of the Knights of Labor,
called upon me to secure the rein
statement of these men. The sub
iect then was fully discussed, and I
told him 1 had no power in the mat
ter, not even advisory, without re-
quest from the court, At that inter
view I told Powderly if any griev-
ances existed among the men, if he
would bring them to our attention we
would endeavor to right them. We
recognized the necessity of remaining
on good terms with our people, to
whom One-half OF the earnings
of the road go yearly. The
present strike came without notice,
and not in consequence of griev-
auce cited against us, and in view of
my interview with Powderly, whom 1
believed to be a fair-minded man, was
all the more surprising to me-" As
to the future, Mr.. Gould said: q
am advised that great numbers of the
strikers are not in sympathy with the
movement, and will return to work as
soon as assured of protection by the
civil authorities. 1t is our intention
to resume at once, and as fast as this
protection is afforded"
In conclusion he declared that he
did not care to discuss other features
of the strike, beyond the statement
that the company couldn't possibly
join hands with the knights of Labor
against the United States supreme
court.

The acquittal of Holland will be o
great Joy to Texas. Tho faithful de-
devotion of his fellow Texans has ac-
companied him throughout his trials
and trial. The case has been one of
extraordinary interest, even in this
town where appetite for murder trials
is somewhat iaded. There was niue h
strong evidence IN the theory of self
defense, and the character of the
main witnesses for the prosecution
was not exemplary. Hollands in
genuous confession that he under
stood the game, and went to Davis
Office to get good money and keep it
might have worked unfnyorably to
him before a jury of lawyers. Before
u jury of laymen a rough view of the
equities of the case prevailed, and
probably the general sentiment of the
community, while adverse to the
glorifcation of Holland, in the
Texas mind, will accept the verdict
as inevitable, andperhaps not unjust.
As between the crook and the canny
countryman up to the crooks game,
the countryman has won. Still we
advise Holland and all all speculative
city marshals from Abilene or else
where not to come to town seeking
investments in green goods. Killing
crooks is sometimes murder.-N. Y.

Tie Work and creed Of the Organization

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 9.-Terence V,
Powderly, of Scranton, General Mas
ter Workman Of tho Knights OF La
Dor of America, and chief of the five
men who compose the Executive
Board of the General Assembly OF
that great organization, was inter
viewed here lately. The executive
board is now holding its annual ses.
sion here. Mr.. Powderly explained
the tenets of the Knights of Labor,
and discussed the four great prob
lens which now agitate the industrial
circles of the world finance, the
short.hour system, competitive labor,
and the economy Of the land. He
said:
1.-THE progress made by the Knights
of Labor in the last four years is
amazing. When we first brought our
organization into q General Assembly
in January, 1878, we had represent
atives from 400 assemblies through
out the United States Now we have
on the rolls of the order some 5000
assemblies organized since January,
1878. Within the last two or three
years the organization has grown
very rapidly, and account for it in
this way: The hardest work in an
organization of any kind is always in
the start. When the purposes of the
movement become known, and peo-
pie become interested in it, there are
more workers to help it forward, and
as q consequence more people will
apply for admission. At the present
time, instead of going out to seek
people and ask them to join the
knights of Labor, we find people
knocking at our doors in greater
numbers than we can admit. 1t has
been going the rounds of the press
that workingmen's organizations
here and there are adopting resolu-
tions to put the eight-hour law into
effect on May l next. That the eight
hour movement will prove successful
l have no doubt, but that it will be
established on the LIST of May L have
doubt, for the reason that we cannot
get all the manufacturers and all the
workingmen educated to that point
by that time. We want to make the
eight hour system universal, SO that
manufacturers will suffer no more
from it's practice than the workmen.
When we do put it into operation, it
is not our intention to demand ten
hours pay for eight hours work. We
will take the shorter hours, and the
wages will naturally regulate them
selves.
1.-THE land question is another one
that we are much interested in, for it
pertains directly to the interests OF
labor. We believe that the lands OF
this country belong to Americans,
and not to aliens. Let a man come
here with the intention of staying and
making his home here, and we have
no objection to his occupying the
soil; but for noblemnn who lives
across the water to own from 10000
to $4,000 acres of land here while he
is in another country, is another
thing, and we stranuousiy object to
it. We don't believe in allowing any
other country to draw revenue from
the American laborer. There arc
now between 2O,O0O,0O0 and 21,000,-
600 acres of land in America held by
alien landlords. am q thorough
American, and object to it"
