WHEELING, W, va" JANUARY H. 1888


Mr., Powderly, head Of the Knights Of
Labor, having declared that he is too poor
to run for Congress, the Philadelphia Re-
cord says: "This is rather neat way Of
insinuatipg that he has poor opinion oil
his particular constituency"
BY particular constituency" may be
meant the people Of the Congressional
district in which Mr.. POwderly lives but
these, after the manner Of the use Of
the phrase in politics, would hardly be
called the constituency Of one who does
not represent them. The Record may In
tend to refer to the labor element, which
would DO spoken Of properly as Mr.. Pow
derly's constituency, because he Is the &C.
ceptsd representative Of large labor Or
HanizAhon.
There is, however, no reason to suspect
Mr.. PoNdsrly Of rejecting unkindly on
anybody, That there arc men too poor
to represent in Congress the most vlrtu'
GUS constituency is q fact Of common OBJ
a,ryation, A man who cannot afford the
legitimate expenses ola campaign, be the
same great or small; who cannot afford to
abandon for the time the employment by
which he hopes to raise his family and
provide for his old age,-such amanis too
poor to Rot Congress.
It does not follow that he would not
represent his constituents we'll and to
their satisfaction. His poverty affects
him, not as representative, but ass man,
and il he be wise man he will give due
weight to this confederation. Many men
gpto Congress who are too poor to 20,
and who after some experience would
gladly retracs, the.step II they could.
