MISTAKE OF THE KNIGHTS.

The grievances of the Knights of Labor
striking against the Missouri Pacific have
been made public, and if true, as some surely
must be- they constitute strong Indictment
against their former employers. It is to be
regretted that they did not give them to the
country before they went to the extremity of
entering upon an expensive strike. The
Knights will suffer in popular estimation, too,
by reason Of the fact that they went on this
strike professedly because of the fact that
certain man had been discharged from the
service of the Texas Pacific road, and the en-
ployes Of the Missouri Pacific went out in the
expectation and avowed intention Of compell-
ing the former road to re-employ their COM
rade. They deliberately put all their eggs in
that one basket and that is where they made
their fatal mistake. 1t was apparent that
there was no connection between the two cor
porations, because Of the fact that the Texas
Missouri Pacific officers had no voice in the
matter of employing or discLarging men by
the Texas Pacific. It was some time after the
strike had spread to the Missouri Pacific before
it was claimed that the strikers haa any other
ground of complaint than the discharge of
Hail. And after it was claimed that there
were other reasons. it was some time before
they were made known, so that the impres-
sion was allowed to obtain that they were
trumped up as an afterthought. The strikers
lost sight Of everything else than their adver-

There was nothing too mean for them to

however, in this country who personally re-

SPEAKING of the boycott of the Gray bak-
cry, the New York Post says The men engaged
in it and in similar outrages are guilty of con-
spiracy, libel and blackmail, and urges the
property authorities to bring them to justice.
These are serious offenses in the eyes of the
law, and if boycotters are once made to feel
that they risk the penalties prescribed in such
cases when they undertake to ruin the bust
ness of other men, and to demand money Of
them for purposes of their own, it will proba-
bly, cause them to pause in their impetuous at
tempt to manage other peoples business The
first injured citizen who prosecutes boycotters
on these charges will deserve the thanks of

REFERRING to the explanation of Collect
or Hager, of San Francisco, of the alleged dis
courtesy toward the new Chinese Minister,
the San Francisco Chronicle says:
cit could not be expected, with the feeling
on this coast toward the Chinese, that the col
lector should show any special delight in well
coming the Celestial delegation. The sort of
toadyism to the Chinese which Bayard affects
is repugnant to any Californian, and if the
administration wishes any of this efusiveness
from the collector Of this port it will have to
send out an Eastern pro Chinese advocate to
fill the place."
This gives away the whole case. It may
possibly be that no actual discourtesy was
shown; that is the Minister was not rotten
egged or hit with cabbage, but that he re-
ceived any courtesy, or was treated as min
lister from any other country would have
beer, we may well doubt. Some time this
country may be asked to walk up to the Chi
nese captains office and settle, and in that
event the San Francisco hoodlums may dis
cover that they may have paid too dear for

ferer, and it is not reassuring to find so cool
headed man as Mr.. Powderly has shown
himself to be, so lose his judgment as to
talk of continuing strike in which every one
else must of necessity be relatively
a heavier loser than Mr.. Gould. AIr.
Powderly has declared frequently that this
strike is causeless, and this being the case,
there is but one way for the Knights to put
themselves in the right before the world and
before their own consciences, and that is to
stop the strike and begin anew. The initial
wrong was with themselves by their own con-
fession. No amount Of casuistry can change
that fact and until they acknowledge the
blunder by receding from their untenable po-
sition. they give the advantage to Mr.. Gould.
The sympathy of the public is naturally and
strongly with men who earn their living by
days work, while the honesty of the country
is Indignantly against man with the career
and history that belong to Mr.. Gould, and it
is amazing that the Knights do not see that
in their present attitude they are their ene-
my's most obedient servants.
If it is possible to carry out the latter part
of Mr.. Powderly's letter every one viii say
amen. Public sentiment is rapidly crystalliz-
ing against monopoly; but he is an optimist
who does not recognize that that battle is
long one and cannot be currently determined
with the present strike The man who sups
with the devil must have long spoon. This
Mr.. Powderly should recognize when he pro-
poses to meet Mr.. Gould in the courts. In
the meantime the strike must be stopped, and
the responsibility for that is as much in the
hands of Mr.. .Powderly as Of Mr.. Gould, if the
assertion be true that the Knights are under
the absolute control of his wish. But in the
light of recent events it may be doubted
whether Mr.. Powderly has any more control
over the Knights than Mr.. Gould has had over
Mr.. Hoxie, according to his [Powderly idea.
The country will note with regret that Mr..
Powderly seems to have taken few lessons
from Martin Irons in lurid rhetoric.
