GENERAL MAHoNE's organ, now printed
in Washington, says the knights of labor,
with Powderly and Irons in the lead, may
be credited with making powder and iron"
pretty effective elements in American
politics." But the knights asseverate
that their organization is not political, and
has nothing to do with politics; and so lar
as Irons is concerned, the last heard of him
was that he had jumped from second
story back window to escape the violence
of the knights he had led into disastrous
strike. There is no attempted irony in the
organs pun, but it should be ground to
powder for making such poor one.
