A writer in the Machias Union complains
that the sardine factories in that region are
having deplorable effect in taking young
children away from school; and cites case
in one town where the average attendance OF
100 was diminished to IL by the opening OF
the sardine factory. The law of the State
provides that every able bodied child be-
tween nine and fifteen years of age shall at
tend school at least three months in every
year. If the work in the sardine factories
interferes with this school time there is a le'
gal remedy if the people in the Washington
county towns will apply it. 1t is hard to be-
leye that the people of any town would will
fully nullify law to secure little money at
the expense of their children's education.

The Labor Advocate. of Lewiston, the or
gan of the Maine Knights of Labor, claims
that new party is about to arise in this
State, which will include all the Butler meu
Of 1884, and those straight Greenbackers who
voted for Scion Chase in 1882. The platform
is to be the platform of the knights of La
Dor With few additions. The first move,
the Advocate relates, has been made in Pros
pect. in Waldo county, where Thomas Clark
with one hundred and seven If -hermen, sal
lors, farmers, mechanics and latoring men of
all trades" have met and appointed com
mittee of five TO confer with similar commit
tees from other counties, in rega d to making
platform and issuing call for State con-
vention. AS another election does not occur
for two years, the founders of this new party
eyidnetly believe in taking time by the fore
lock. If the Knights of Labor are behind
this movement. as the attitude Of the Advo-
cate suggests, they would do better to be-
gin thus early to keep out of politics.

tened somewhat by the fear that the Demo-

THE KNIGHTS AND POLITICS,

The new born anxiety of the organs Of the
Democratic party lest the knights of
Labor may jeopardize the prosperity of their
order by meddling in politics, is very touch
ing. The Knights have been in politics more
or less now for more than year, yet it is
only very recently that the Democratic news
papers discovered the dangers to the Or
ganization involved in it and began to point
them out Last summer when the Demo-
Gratis of Pennsylvania were trying to prevail
upon Mr.. Powderly to accept the Democratic
candidacy fer governor of that State the or
gans neglected to make it the text for SER
mons, setting out how fraught with danger
to the Knights would be the acceptance by
their chieftain of political nomination
When later on a prominent member of the
great labor organization was working the
local assemblies in the First Congressional
district of Maine for all they were worth in
order to defeat the recognized leader of the
minority in the House Of Representatives
no Democratic paper rebuked him or told him
that he was imperilling the success of the
Knights Of Labor When the Knights Of the
First New Hampshire Congressional district
united with the navy yard to elect Parson
Mckenney to Congress no Democratic editor
appeared to be seriously agitated lest Mr..
Powderly's organization should go to pieces.
On the other hand the Democratic press was
quite unanimous In the opinion that the
knights in doing these things were perform
ing praiseworthy acts that would rebound
to the credit of their organization.
Democratic anxiety in this matter dates
from the Henry George movement
in New York. AS long as the politi-
cal activity Of the Knights helped Demo-
Gratis to become governors of States, members
Of Congress and mayors of municipalities the
Democratic organs never discovered that
such activity was pernicious in its effect up
on the order But the drawing off of 10000
Democratic votes in New York by the Henry
George movement proved great eye opener
and convinced them all at once that if the
Knights didn't get out of politics right off
the order would go 10 eternal smash. POSI-
bly their arrival at this conclusion was has

One of our esteemed contemporaries has
very vivid account of tragedy said to have
occurred at Beddington in Washington county
in which man named Mclaughlin is al

ment that "Dorr's remains look as though he
had fought to finish with John L. Sulli-

murder and the man whose remains looked
as If he had been engaged in mill with the

just as America is entering upon the con-
struction of new navy, it is interesting to
note new departure which the French are
making in naval designs. Admiral Aube, OF
the De Freycinct's cabinet, has just APP
proved the trials of a new gunboat, which
steams over nineteen miles an hour, and is
to carry a single gun Of the most powerful
description. France is to have a fleet of
these small boats, and the Germans are
planning gunboats Of similar type What
such small and lively boats may effect in a
conflict with the floating citadels Of England
or Italy can be determined only by actual
trial. 1t is not unlikely that before our own
navy has increased much more, war in Eu-
rope will have settled finally some questions
concerning naval construction, which are
just now important points of controversy.
America so far has saved money by awaiting
the experiments Of other nations. Such a
delay, while dangerous to be persisted in as
a policy, may have very many incidental adj
yantages when submitted to as a necessity.
