MR.. powpERlY,s ADDRESS.

Weimagine that the number of men who at
the head of such heterogeneous organization
as the Knights of Labor, would have carried
themselves with the dignity that Mr..
Powderly has preserved, and would
have conducted the order through such
troublous times as it has seen dur
ing the past year without commit
ting more mistakes than Mr. Powderly has
committed, are very few. Mr.. Powderly is,
to be sure, by no means perfect. He
has made blunders. His letter to Jay Gould
was his worst one. But generally his con-
duct has been characterized by discretion
and sound common sense. Strong pressure
has frequently been put upon him to become
demagogue, to chime in with the Knights
who appeared to believe that our entire in
dustrial system could be changed at once by
the nat OF their organization, but he has sue
ceSsfully resisted it, and by so doing, it is
not too much to say, has saved the order of
which he was the head. Suppose Mr.. Pow
derby had been a man of the Martin Irons
stamp2 1t is easy to see what the result
would have been. Public opinion would
have been alienated from the Knights long
ago. and their organization would have de-
generated into band of conspirators against
the rights of capital. With Martin Irons on
the quarter deck shipwreck would have been
its inevitable fate.
Mr.. Powderly has the good sense to see
that it is well to hasten slowly, and that
good end may be jeopardized as effectually
by too much enthusiasm as by too little. He
sees that progress must be gradual, and in
his annual address he takes occasion to i'm
press upon the Knights the necessity of pa
thence and preparation. He, recognizes in
The Portland daily press., 1886-10-07

cooperation means of greatly improving
the condition of the workingman, but he cor
rectly points out that for workingmen to UNI
dertake to manage cooperative establish
ments without previous preparation in the
way of education in the proper methods of
conducting business would result in disas-
trous failure. So in the reduction Of the
hours of labor. He believes they should be
reduced, but he has perception enough to see
that the time is not yet ripe for such
change. For this reason he opposed the
movement of last May, which resulted in ut
ter failure, and brought only disaster to the
laboring man by unsettling business, and de-
terring capital from engaging in enterprises,
which would have furnished work for the
laboring man.
Mr.. Powderly's observations on the points
treated in his address are as a rule character
lied by sound sense and practical wisdom, in
sharp contrast with good many of the ideas
put forth by professional labor reformers.
He dwells with good deal of emphasis on
the necessity Of educating the workingman
and evidently considers that education must
be one of the chief factors in any scheme
for his improvement. His observations upon
the relations between labor and capital
show that he fully understands their mu-
tuality and dependence on one another, and
that that irrepressible conflict between them
which demagogues teach is not to be found
in his catechiSm

HENRY GEORGES CANVASS.

The canvass of Henry George for the may
orally of New York city is now fully under
way, and it is a movement which is attract
ing no little interest and even alarm among
the people and politicians of the city Mr..
George has band of earnest and enthusiast
tic supporters who seem to be in full sympa-
thy with the unique features of his campaign.
If their opponents have called them
''cranks,' they have good humoredly accept
ed the name and provided themselves with
campaign badge having for its design a
mechanics crank. If the regular political
workers of the city have scoffed at their
strength they have displayed the written
pledges of more than thirty-four thousand
voters who have promised to support Mr..
George. Whatever may happen to diminish
the energy of this support in the future, it is
certain that at the present time it is promis-
ing most active and interesting contest.
Tuesday night, before very large audience
in Cooper Union Hall, Mr.. George formally
accepted the nomination of the laboring
men. The stand that he takes in relation to
the municipal government of New York city
is undoubtedly what commends his to most
of the men who are supporting him. If
elected his policy would be, in word hon.
esty. He would be free from motives of
personal gain, from entangling alliances
with desreputable politicians; and would en-
deayor to administer affairs economically
and according to strict business methods.
He would give the poor man an equal show
with the rich man in so far as he could, and
modify many of the regulations which now
determine the authority of the police over
the people, especially in the matter of espi-
enage over public meetings. AS mayor Mr..
George would go no further; and were there
prospect that he would be able to fill the Of
fee in the way laid out by himself, thoughtful
men might find no difficulty in supporting
him. But Mr. George affects to see in his
candidacy the beginning of national move
ment of great significance And apart from
all considerations of municipal politics he
would have men vote for him because they
approve of his scheme of taxing land and of
free trade. As mayor he does not expect to
establish these principles, but he represents
them squarely and openly. The support
which he receives will be paraded as indorse-
ment of his peculiar view of taxation and
ownership of land 1t is for this reason that
it would be unfortunate if he should receive
any substantial endorsement at the polls. He
is eminently respectable, as a candidate, but
his theories are too socialistc to find sympa-
thy with any large body of substantial citi-
zens in this country.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter defiles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery
smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed a blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair Of relief or cure,
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathseme and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
in curing, safe, economical and neverfailing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bot
tie of the RADICAE CURE, one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER, all
wrapped in one package, with treatise and drec-
lions, and sold by all druggists for $1.00.

The general impression is that the Presi-
dent very decidedly strains point in declin-
ing to invite French citizens to attend the

been specifically authorized by Congress to
do so. The Presidents caution not to ex-
coed his authority or appear to be wanting
in Difference to Congress in this case is I'M
called for, and certainly is in marked con-
trast to the frame of mind evinced by his
prompt appointment of Matthews to the

GUS treatment of the Morrison resolution
after it had passed both Houses of Congress
by majority of more than two-thirds.

The Man With the Strike.

Mr.. Jay Gould does not seem to he fa-
vorite of fortune just now. He cannot get
stocks to go down to suit him, and he has
strike, all his own, on his hands which he
cannot get rid of now in any comfortable
way. He says it does not amount to any
thing, and that the Knights of Labor are
of no account at all. This isa striking ex-
hibtion of that we'll known human propen-
sity known as ''whistling to keep the cour-
age up" 1t is style of occupation which
is quite customary to Mr.. Gould. He is a
notable coward in close quarters and a
stout talker at a distance from the field of
action.

and the Knights of Lahor l$spnffttot reach an

consequence to Mr.. Gould, who is only
after money and is wont to take any twist

to the amount of dirt to be eaten to get
there. When it suits his purposes to reach

will readily yield to them. If they exhibit

they have, Mr.. Gould will try to get his

will take Martin Irons to his embrace.

No more gigantic monopoly ever reared
It's head In this country than the Standard
Oil company. OF the ll,oo0, 900 barrels OF oil
exported from the United States in 1885, the
Standard company exported fully l0,oco,0o0
barrels. Not content with having thoroughly
subdued the domestic and foreign markets
of this country, this monopoly, like Alex
ander, sghs for fresh worlds TO conquer.
The great Russian firm OF the Nobel COM
pany, controlled by the Nobel brothers, Is
said to be in close financial quarters, with
large numbers of outstanding bonds, on
which the interest has not been paid. The

sntee this interest, and in return to be given
control of the business in Russis--to absorb
the Nobels, In fact to shut up Russian stills
as 1t has those along the Cleveland and Pitts
burg railroad in Cleveland. We have no
overweaning love for Russia, but it is to
be hoped that this cruel fate Is not in store
for her
