Washington Special.
In the great empire Of Russia, where the
Greek Church holds sway, there are eighty saints
days during each year held as holidays. These,
with the ffty-two Sundays, make total of 132
days in each year during which the Russian or
thodox laborer does not work, and, of course,
being idle. drinks good deal of vodki. The in
evitable consequence follows, aud the neighbor-
ing countries-Germany, Austria, etc.--where
there are few or no holidays except Sunday, and
often not this, undersell the Russian producer;
and so factories Close wheat cannot be grown
with profit on the rich SOIL gold is at pre-
MUM of 90 per cent, and that great and friendly
empire is on the road to bankruptcy.
1t seems strange to be compelled to compare
the United States financially with Russia; out
are we not coming to the same condition. A
considerable body of workmen-as yet happily a
small body, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to work Only
eight hours day-the Russian peasants eighty
holidays. If this is granted and the eighty hoi
days prevail must not the same results follow
which have followed in Russia, and the products
of countries where healthy men labor over three
hundred days in the year undersell our own, and
our factories closet
But increase the duties cries the woald- be
elght-hour worker. WE'LL the Russian govern
ment has tried this panacea. it collects its du-
ties in gold. and by an ingenious device it holds
that when an imported article has been paid for
In paper or in its equivalent in gold, it has in
fact been paid for in gold at par. And so it col
lects GO per cent. where the nominal duty is 30.
Has this ingenious device saved it? Factories

Can we afford to follow Russian methodist
Will the farmer who, with his family and labor
ers works twelve hours day, consent to double
the duties he pays that the workman may take
his ease at eight hours a day. In no country in
the world is work so persistent as in this. The

his hands, work early and work late far more
than in any country of Europe. The result is
seen in the great material prosperity of the
country. Introduce the eght-hour systematic

ferred to the Vatican the Pope had unhesitat-
ipgly condemned the association. Archbishop
Tascherau, of Quebec (who is about to be created
cardinall, communicated this decision Of the
Holy Father by means of pastoral letter to his
bishops and clergy, and at the same time cour-
teously addressed copies thereof to the Catholic
prelates in the United States, Archbishop Cor
rigan has mislaid his copy of the pastoral, which,
however, was very strongly worded, and strictly
prohibited all sons of the church from belonging
to the order. Since then the association of the
Knights or Labor has submitted to the church
an amended draft OF their constitution, and
claim that they have eliminated therefrom all
the Objectionable clauses. The matter Is now
under consideration at Rome. and no news has
as yet been received on the subject.
According to Archbishop Corrigan's personal
opinion the claim of the Knights that the OBJ
jectionable clauses in the constitution have been
eliminated will scarcely alter the views Of the
Church towards the order Strikes, boycotts
and other forcible means of inducing persons to
act contrary to their inclina.ions and interests,
also, any measures taken to prevent people from
attending to their work or business have been
distinctly condemned in several of the Papal
bulls issued to the world since the accession of
the present Pontif.
''On my asking the Archbishop whether the
Vatican would not disapprove of the association
on the mere ground of its being to a certain ex-
tent secret society. like the order of Free
masons, he explained that the secrecy in itself
would not constitute sufficient reason.
.'The Archbishop added that, as a general
rule. any society or association which conspires
against religion or the established government,
and which seeks to induce people by force to
follow any particular lead stands ipse facto con-
demned by the Catholic Church.
'On my referring to the fact that considera-
BILE portion of the Chicago rioters were COM
posed of Bohemians, nation which, though
exceedingly ignorant is known in Europe for its
piety-nay, even for its bigotry-the Archbishop
deplored the fact that the Bohemian emigrants
in this country were, as a rule, no longer very
amenabe to the discipline of the church, and
that the irreligious feeling among most of them
was so pronounced that the clergy could exer-
else but little influence over them"

What Will Be Considered by the Knights of
Labor at the Cleveland Meeting.

What Will Be Considered by the knights of
Labor at the Cleveland Meeting.
Baltimore Special.
Mr. Frederick Turner, general secretary of
the Knights of Labor, and a corps of clerks at
Philadelphia have been kept busy during the
past two or three days sending out call for a
special session of the General Assembly
General Master Workman Powderly, acting
under authority vested in him, has felt that it
was absolutely necessary to call the session and
place the order squsrely before the world on
several issues in such way that no misunder-
standing can possibly arise in the future. The
causes leading to the calling OF the session are
]. The rapidly increasing membership of the
order requires changes in the laws which the
general executive board has no authority to
make.
2. The laws in relation to the government of
aoycotting are wholly inadequate to compel
obedience on the part Of assemblies that believe
n ooycotting for every offense, whether great or
mall
3. The laws in relation to strikes do not cover
the ground necessary to give the general execu-
five board the power TO interfere in such matters
Until after the strike has been naugurated
4 The order has become involved in diff
cuities with trade societies. and effort is be-
1ng made to create rupture between those soci-
cites and the Knights of Labor.
These and other matters which will help to
perfect the discipline of the order will require
the careful deliberation and cool Judgment of
the General Assembly. The most critical period
of the orders history has been reached and some
means must be devised whereby the machinery
6f-the order may be improved. The present ex-
ecutive board cannot attend to one-tenth part of
the work that pours upon them. and some means
of distributing this work must be thought of and
put into practice. The session will be held in
Cleveland, o., Tuesday, May 25 and Will be
called to order at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of
that day in Sloss's Hall. No. 1856 Ontario street.
All Representatives who served at the session
held last October in Hamilton, Ontario, will sit
as representatives in the special session at Cleve
land.
General Master Workman Powderly has, also,
issued secret circular to the order everywher
IN which he Is very severe on strikes, boycotts,
riots, Anarchists and intemperance. He says:
IF every member of the Knights of Labor
would only pass resolution to boycott strong
drink, SO far as he is concerned, for five years
and would pledge his word to study the labor
question from its different stand points, we
would then have an invincible host arrayed on
the size Of justice"

A Pension for Every Veteran.

a E0uslOu xOr Livery teteraus
Washington Special.
After the interstate commerce bill is disposed
of in the Senate, the Blair pension bill will be
called up and probably passed. The Senate
does not intend to have the House monopolze
the pension legislation. This Blair bill is the
Cullom bill of two years ago, and proposes to
pension every veteran who served six months in
the army and who is now disabled in any way,
and has no means of support other than manual
labor.
This is akin to a service pension, and would
benefit almost every veteran who is not pos
sesssd of independent means. 1t was this bill
which John Sherman fought so bitterly in 1884,
and which then, by being tackled upon the Mex
lean pension bill, caused the defeat of both
measures
Mr. Blair has not presented any report to
go with the bill, showing what amount of
money it will require. but this will be brought
out in debate It will be away up In the mill
ions.
