Mr.. Powderley's plan for State
Assembly of the Knights of Labor
by which all propositions for strikes
must be approved before any strike
is ordered by local assembly, has
much to commend it. Such m or
ganization would not DO likely to or
der strike unless for good cause and
when strongly backed by public sen
timent, and having ordered n strike
it would be in much better posi-
ton to bring it to q successful issue
than would local OF district assem-
bly,. Any measure that will prevent
hasty and ill-considered strikes will
benefit both employer md employed.

The evidences of unoasiness and

been brought before the people

the many may discover the real cause
OF tho friction and possibly devise q
remedy before il is too late. Never
in the history of the country has
there been such unanimous action
among the masses. There is agreat
determination TO improve their con
dition which portonds most wonder
ful results, and tho century will not

The labor which has been spent dur

masses is about 10 be rewarded, and
the greatest stride ever made toward
universal liberty will be taken. And
yet the most wonderful feature OF

and perfect harmony of action step

The chcssmen scattered near aud TAR

This son and heir was seized-posseased'
Yet all In vain. for sleep had caught
Tho hand that reached, the feet that

And fallen In that ambuscado
The victor was himself o'erwrought.
