that 200 persons in Bel Air were about to
organize lodge of Knights of Labor and
that the business men of the place were also
determined to organize and resist them The
people of Bel Air had not up to that time
heard Of such formidable projects They
laughed at the story, knowing that there are
no factories of any kind in the town and not
200 workmen here of all trades, all told The
statement, however, absurd as it was has
already had an effect different from what was
intended by those who gave it currency 1t
has, in one instance at least, stopped certain
improvements, which would have given en-
ployment for time to several stone masons,
carpenters, plasterers anG laborers. Labor
and capital must go hand in hand, and any
one who wantonly disturbs their harmonious
relations or encourages distrust between them
is All enemy to every man who is willing and
ready to do an "honest days work for an
honest days pay"
The silver question came up in the
House, on Thursday OF last week. A propo-
stion to suspend the further coinage of sill
yer was defeated by vote of 81 to 201. A
proposition that followed to pass the silver
bill was also defeated, by a vote of12G to 1863
The Maryland delegation voted with the
majority The present law will therefore
probably remain as it is, for some time at
least The evils prophesitd in regard to
continued coinage of silver are, perhaps, re-
mote, and it is probable that Congress deem
ed it wise to adopt the old maxim of not
crossing bridge until you come to it,

Mr.. Pulitzer, editor of the New York
World, has resigned his seat in Congress,
which he had only occupied six times since
the present session commenced. His reason
for resigning is because his editorial duties
do not leave him any time to devote to the
interests of his constituents
