plan all the workingmen of the country
would be banded together according to their
trades; machinists would determine the af-
fairs which relate to machinists; and carpen-
tiers the affairs which relate to carpenters;
instead of leaving the interests of both ma
chinists and carpenters to a combination of
men of all trades and no trades. But CO.
operation between all laborers would be at
tanned by having each trade union furnish
delegates for a national workingman's con-
gress. Mr.. Powderly's supporters do not
favor this plan, and it is said that they con-
troll the Worcester convention. The ques-
ton has been agitated all over the country,
and will undoubtedly be an important sub
ject of discussion at Richmond. The new
plan seems to be free from many of the de-
fects so prominent in the Knights of Labor
organization.
But there is a still more important subject
under discussion at Worcester, Like their
brethren in Wisconsin, the Massachusetts
Knights of Labor cannot refrain from specu-
lating on their power in politics, although it
is not certain that they will do anything
more than speculate One of their speakers
Monday, pointed out that the thirty thous-
and Knights in Boston could easily control
the choice of mayor, and another showed
that the seyenty-five thousand organized la
borers in the State of Massachusetts could at
any time decide the gubernatorial election
Both speakers are said to have advised the
pernicious plan of delegating to the execu-
tive officers of Massachusetts the power to
commend candidates to the Knights of La
Dor of the State.
With so vital questions as these relating to
the constitution of the order, still unsettled,
the Knights of Labor in Massachusetts or in
any other State, will do well to enter the po-
litical field with extreme caution.

TIE WORCESTER LABOR coNvEN-
TON.

A great convention of laboring men is in
session at Worcester, Mass. Over thous-
and delegates, representing seventy-fve
thousand knights of Labor. are present.
This is one of the largest conventions of the
kind ever held in New England; and coming
as it does just before the grand convention
at Richmond and at the beginning of the po-
litical campaign in Massachusetts,, its DELHI
erations are of considerable interest.
Its not surprising to find that one of the
principal questions before this assembly re-
,lates to the fundamental principles of the or
der. As built up by Mr. Powderly the order
has had this simple aim: the formation of
great league comprising all the workingmen
in the country. The machinist was to clasp
hands with the navy, the printer with the
cotton weaver; and by their united efforts,
the condition of each was to be bettered
There are many difficulties in the way of
such plan; not a few representative labor
ing men, like Chief Arthur, of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, have not
hesitated to declare it unpracticable And
right at this point there seems to be an issue
ioined in the Worcester convention. Ger
tain men have gone there with a plan to sup
plant the present organization with com
bination Of national trades unions. By this

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

In short speech in the House the other
day Congressman Dingley showed in very
conclusive way the shallowness of the Demo
cratic claim that since the present admins
tration came into power the government has
been more economically administered than
under Republican Presidents. 1t was the
agile Springer who made the claim, and he
made it in this language:
81 100000 in the expenses of the government
during this year, and exclusive of pensions, net
reduction of $4,000, 900 has been secured during
the first year OF Democratic administration.
Mr.. Dingley pointed out in the first place
that Mr.. Springer's comparison was unfair,
because he had selected for contrast with the
present year the year 1885, dnring four
months of which the Democrats had control
Of the government. When the comparison
was made with the 1884, during the whole Of
which the Republicans had control, the BAL
ance was on the other side. The Republi-
cans had expended million less in 1884 than
the Democrats did in the year ending June
80, 1886. Furthermore he showed that Mr..
Springer suppressed part of the truth in
the comparison he did make, purposely, be-
cause if he had told it all it would have been
CFluCnb w CFClyDOQy budb tuGIG WIS uU
ground for his claim that the reduction of ex-
penditures ~as due to the superior economy
of Democratic administration. Mr.. Ding
ley pointed out that the reductions of ex-
,penditures had been almost entirely in direc-
lions where Congress, or the course of the
administration of the laws of Congress, hap
pened to call for payment in the prior fiscal
year, and did not call for such payments in
the last year. They were purely accidental
as far as the administration was concerned.
He enumerated large number of in
stances, but we are able to quote but one
The diplomatic expenditures in 1885 were
439,6o911, and in 1886, 81, 332, 52o.SS. Mr..
Springer allowed it to be inferred that this
decrease Of 100000 was due to the superb
or economy or financial skill of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. But the facts are
that in the former year nearly that sum was
paid from funds placed in the treasury by
Great Britain and France for the payment of
claims against this government, while in
the latter year none was paid. This money
was credited to the fund for the diplomatic
service, and appears in the general state
ment of the treasury as an expenditure on
account Of that service. The reduction in
the navy department was simply the result
of doing less work on the new vessels. The
ordinary expenditures of that department
show an increase of over 100000 And so
on through the list, Mr. Springer's claim is
shown to be without foundation.
1t is not at all probable, however, complete
as Mr.. DiDgley's exposure is, thati will pre-
vent Mr.. Springer's claim from being set up
again. We shall hear it on every stump this
fall. Like the S4o0,0Oo,O0O surplus false

Maine is to be the grand initial battle

DOES THE DOG RETURN TO HIS WON'T?
Charleston Is. c. News and Courier.
The Southern States withdrew from the
Union because they found, by sad experience,
that the constitution afforded them no pro-
lection against the fanatics of the North.
The organic law was asserted and enforced
when it could be made the means of injuring
the South, but it was dead letter when the
Southern States and Southern institutions
needed protection. When the more perfect
union" failed to insure domestic tranquility,
to promote the general welfare and to secure
the blessings of liberty to themselves and
their posterity, the Southern States with
drew from the confederation which they had
formed. The union of States continues, it is
true; but it continues as the creature of
force not consent, of conquest not equality.
This is the result of the civil war.

Mr.. Powderly is reported as saying that
he smashes all the ginger ale bottles that
come into his house in order to make busl-

Post thinks that to be consistent and not to
show partlality to one class of workmen he
should kick out all the window panes in his
house every morning to make work for the
window glass manufacturers. He ought to-
smash the crockery and break up the furni-

that the purpose of this policy is to compel
the United Stases to enter into reciprocity

allows the Canadians to enforce the law as
it now exists, the Yankees will soon cave
