MR.. PowDERLY's Opening ADDRESS.

Mr.. Powderly made his opening address ex-
tempore, and the full text could not be given
but in effect he said that this special session
of the General Assembly was the most i'm
portant in the history of the order Matters
of grave importance were to be considered,
and he hoped that the delegates would be
guided in their deliberations by a spirit of
wisdom, that no personal animosities would
be allowed to mar the harmony of the pro-
deedings, and that every member would be
gnfded by the spirit of the obligation he had
taken as Knight of Labor. 1t was the duty
of the General Assembly calmly to consider
| the situation and to devise remedies for evils.
In many parts of the country the order had
grown too rapidly and discordant elements
had been taken in faster than they could be
properly assimilated 1t was the duty of the
assembly to take some action that would
| check this unhealthy growth Trouble had
| arisen between the order and other trades
organizations. From small beginnings the
trouble has widened, until now the useful
ness of both organizations has been seriously
| impaired, and the whole labor movement has
been retarded. This matter required the
| most serious consideration. He saw no rea-
| son why common ground on which both
could stand could not be found and both the
Knights of Labor and trad unions stand
shoulder to shoulder in the battle for human
rights. He called the attention of the
Assembly to the fact that the chief executive
| officer of the organization and the members
of the General FIX ycutive Board were bur
dened with a great amount Of unnecessary
work. 1t was imperative that the Executive
Board should he relieved from that portion OF
the work which could be as easily attended to
by some one else. Propositions which had
been carefully matured would oe submitted
in due time for the consideration of the As
sembly.
Perhaps the most important duties OF the
Assembly, MIR. Powderly said. would be ir
regard to the subject of strikes and boycotts
The order had lost ground in the public esti
nation during the last six months on account
of hasty and ill-considered action on the par
of some of the district leaders. The order
could not stand the strain of many such I'M
wise fights as that in the Southwest, and
while it gets credit for many petty strikes and
boycotts, for which it is not responsible, there
have been too many of them that are directly
attributable to the order.

The democratic faction in Georgia OPP
posed to the nomination of Gen. Gordon
for governor are quoting against him the
cipher dispatches which passed between
Gramercy Park and Mr.. Tilden's agents
in South Carolina. when an effort was
making to purchase presidential elector
in that State in 1876. Gen. Gordon is
supposed to have figured as Pope in
that conspiracy. and his frantic kilograms
in cipher for $4,000 to make the State
democratic and secure the electoral vote
are among the interesting revelations OF
that time. OF course, in order to make
these kilograms tell against Gen. Gordon
the democrats have to admit their gen
uineness. This is progress, says the
Philadelphia Press, with big "P." With
the truth of the cipher dispatches con-
oeded, and as necessary corollary the
infamous plot to purchase Tilden cleo
tor, the democrats will have to confess
that Hayes was legally elected. We
should not be surprised to hear that that
admission had been made before the Geor-
ga campaign Is over

Unwise Democratic Policy.

The defeat of the amendment to the
post office appropriation bill providing for
ocean mail service is receiving well
merited condemnation. 1t is OF piece
with the attempt to have our ships built
in English instead of American shipyards.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: The
question involved in this amendment was,
in effect, simply this: Shall the govern
ment pay enough for carrying the mails
between this country and the countries
south and west of us to justify American
enterprise in maintaining regular and di'
rect commercial communication with
those countries, or shall these mails be
carried oy any tramp ship that happens
to come along and will do the job al the
lowest possible figure? The actual differ
ence in expense would be mere baga.
telle. but the practical difference to com.
MERGE would be nothing less than the diff.
ference between having regular and d.
rect communication, or irregular and
roundabout. Take, for example, Brazil.
The policy involved In the Senate amend.
ment would give New York or New Or.
leans, and through them the country gen.
orally, direct connection with Rio Janeiro
and thus open the way for large traffic
in Brazilian products and American man
utactures, but the policy OF Villas
and the democracy will compel the
commerce carried on to go by way

The Unhappy Democrats.
THE TRIALS AND PERPLExIrIEs CAUSED BY A
CONTRACTORS PRESIDENT.

1t is understood about the Capitol that
Representative Scott has been rendered the
Craftsmanship of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee, and has declined the eff
forts which were first made to get Senator
kenna Of West Virginia to take the position.
1t is said that Mr.. Kenna consulted his friends
Senators Blackburn, German, Beck and
Salisbury, and these gentlemen discouraged
him.
They suggested that under the present re.
torn policy of the administration, it would
be uphill business; that good mea could no,
be had unless some reward was fairly prob
able at a result of their labors. Having dis.
cussed the matter freely they determined to
bring the question before the President to
see what assistance or encouragement they
would receive in that quarter. They told
told the President that they wanted to have
some assurance that men who did the work
would be recognized by the administration
and then they went on to say that the party
work could not be efficiently done unles.
those who devoted their time to it had some
hope Of having their claims to prefermen,
respected.
The President gave them to understand
that he would give them no such assurance.
The policy of his administration was and
would continue to be Numerically opposed
to their views and theories
They came awav very much crestfallen
aud in no tender frame Of mind. 1t is even
related that Mr.. Beck swore, but this could
scarcely be true. At any rate, Senator
Kenns concluded that he hadn't time to &C.
cept such an onerous position. That WOULDN'T
do as accounting for Mr.. SCOTS declination,
for he will have plenty of time after this
Congress He appears to have been mified
at beingi named secondhand. Mr.. Scott
knows the power of ready money and wants
to play no second fiddle Washington Cor

Our manufacturers can no more compete
for that trade without ships than Dakota

parallel.
This is only one more illustration OF the
fact that the democratic party can be re-
lied upon to do the wrong thing when the
right thing would do the most good. Just
now the country is suffering. from one
end to the other, from the fact that we
have the capital, enterprise, labor. and

larger market than the United States
affords. To sell these goods in Europe,
to any very considerable extent, is one OF

been unequal to crafty the Jeffersonian
simplicity Of the Senator. One cloudy,
cold morning, just after the ides Of De-
cember, he kissed his wife good-by at
the front door Of the caravansary, and
yanking his toga up to shut out the in
