CLEAR CUT.
The Declaration and Preamble Adopted
by the Illinois State Assembly
, Knights OF Labor.

Following is the declaration adopted
at the recent convention of the Illinois
State assembly of the Knights of Labor
held in Decatur. George A., Schilling
of Chicago, was member of the COM
mittee which prepared the document
and it reads very much as that sound
thinker had written it:
The developments of modern indus
trial appliances, machinery, steam, elec
tricity, etc, has under present economic
relations divided society into two hostile
classes, viz !: the real rich and the real
poor The middle class. which in for,
mer years was the stability and safety
of society is rapidly disappearing, and
upon their ruins the modern industrial
prince is erecting his head and ex,
claims: Il am monarch of all I sur
yey."
The equality of rights and opportuni.
ties which we're enjoyed by the American
people in years past is passing away
Pauperism, prostitution and crime-the
fruits of poverty-multiply as the mod
ern millionaire grows in power and in
1uence. The wage workers of the world
are forced into deadly competition with
each other in this remorseless warfare
the holiest ties of life are destroyed
Cheap labor" is the god of modern cap
ital. The girl of twelve years competes
with the woman of thirty; the boy oi
ten with the man of forty. Children
are driven from the home and the
school into the battles of labor, where
their young and tender lives are ground
into gold, while their fathers live in en-
forced idleness upon the paltry earnings
of their little ones.
We therefore declare: First, the wage
system is a despotism; that political
freedom cannot long exist under eco
nomic bondage; second, that civiliza-
ton means the diffusion of knowledge
and wealth that the first step to this
end is the reduction of the hours of
labor to eight, which will, in conse-
quence of more leisure, operate upon the
habits and customs of the people, en-
larging their wants, stimulating ambi-
tion, decreasing idleness and increasing
wages; third, the victory over divine
right" rulership of kings must be sup
plemented by victory over the vested
rights of modern land sharks, usurers
and industrial autocrats, for there can be
no government of the people, for the
people and by the people where the few
possess all the resources of life-the
land-while the masses are tramps on
their own domain, begging for the priv
ilege to work.
Fellow. workers! in this dark hour OF
labor's distress, we call upon all who
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow, of whatever nationality, creed OF
color, skilled and unskiIled trades un-
ionists and those still outside of labor
organizations, to join hands with US, to
the end that poverty and all the atten.
dant evils shall be abolished forever.

hand, a man with q equity tendency may
marry q woman free from that tendency,

course, well known facts which initiate

Of the city al a miracle only equalled by
those narrated in the New Testament has
been accomplished by the skill OF DR..
Thomas Bland, q young physician Of

A cataract is an opacity OF the crystalline
lens OF the eye. To give sightto those who
have been blind from that cause thelens OF
the eye must be removed. An incision was
made through the corner, removing q tri-
angular piece OF the muscle OF the eye,
which is called the iris. Then the capsule
or sheath OF the eye was inCiBsd. IU or.

Medical wcshes were applied to supply
the loss OF humor, In fifteen days the
eyeballs were healthy, and the man could

for several weeks, and now the man who
