JAY GoULD's MISTAKE,

Mr.. Jay Gould, acting under authority of his
board Of directors, makes a very great mistake
in declining to confer with Mr.. Powderly,
the head of the Knights of Labor organiza-
ton. Mr.. Powderly has proved himself a
careful, conservative man, just such one as
the country would put at the head of such a
movement, could it make choice. His propo-
sition to select three men and Mr..
Gould to select like number, the
six to select seventh, to act as
a committee Of arbitration, and the conces-
sion that under no circumstances Mr.. Gould's
road should be asked to take back men who
had committed acts of violence or lawlessness,
was an offer that could not be contemptuously
rejected without prejudice to himself. Mr.
Powderly is not communist, not an anarch-
LIST, and not a striker Decently
treated, and recognized at his true
worth, he may be the means Of
doing vast good to labor and to the best in
terests of the country. If he cannot be met
it is useless to talk of recognizing labor organ
izations. Popular sympathy is with organized
labor, and the right to organize and to act as
a body must be conceded, for it is but just.
Mr.. Powderly is the friend of law, and labor,
and business. No capitalist nor corpo-
ration can afford to ignore him, even
though it is fact that the strikers against
the Missouri Pacific are entirely at fault, as
in fact they appear to be. To snub Powderly
is to bring such men as Martin Irons to the
front; men who would not hesitate to throw
hundreds of thousands of workingmen into an
attitude of lawlessness and a condition of idle
ness It were better to surrender a. point of
punctilio in order to magnify. the influence
of man like Terrence " Powderly with the
workingmen organized in the Knights of
Labor. If the business interests of the coun-
try are to be surrendered to men Of arrogance
like Jay Goulds board of directors and incen-
diaries like Martin Irons, the outlook will be
anything but reassuring. Public sentiment
will condemn the high-strung gentlemen at
New York.

LAND TENANTRY I'M THE WEST.

Evils that Congressman Payson Desires to
Correct-Irish Landlordism In the West
Washington Special
The fact that the odious system of Irish lands
loriism has been gaining foothold in this
country of late years will be a very disaereeable
piece OF news to most people. It is fact how
ever, and one that must be met without blink
ing Judge Payson, of Illinois, has bill before
the House aimed at this abuse. and there are
other measures pending with the same general
purpose. 1t appears that the landlord Scully,
whose proceedings have lately come into promi
hence, is an Irishman who lives ir England. and
owns large tracts of land in Illinois Kansas
Nebraska and Dakota. This land he leases out
in small parcels to great numbers of low-class
foreigners, largely Italians, Hungarians etc,
according to the system followed in Ireland
which has been productive Of SO much poverty
and misery, and which Americans generally are
so anxious to have discontinued in the old world
In other words, Scuys tenants pay him a
certain rental, and assume all the expense of
building and maintaining their homes all taxes,
all costs of Improvement of the land ETC. Under
this system a very bad and obnoxious state of
things has come into existence. The tenants,
being poor and thriftless try to make their ex-
penses as small as possible, and 30 they live in
huts hardly fit for pigs, and all their surround
ings are squalid in the last degree. Their condi-
ton is not only very degraded now, but it is
without hope of Improvement under this land
lordism Under the law OF Illinois the landlord
has the first lien on the produce Of farms and
can follow load of wheat or anything of that
sort, through three successive Sales and then re-
cover it. man like Scully, who is capable of
carrying on this selfish Irish landlordism on
large scale, Of course would not hesitate TO take
advantage of such law.
What is still worse this case of Scully is By no
means an isolated one Judge Payson says there
Is a large number of foreigners who are now
building up extensive land holdings in this
country on this detestable principle. His bill is
framed so as to prevent and prohibit any aliens
mot including, of course, aliens intending to be-
come American citizens) from holding, acaur-
ing or owning any real estate in the District of
Columbia and in the Territories. An attempt
by MIR. Oates to include the States in the opera
ton of the bill has been decided by the commit
tee on the Judiciary to be unconstitutional as
the States must be left to regulate this affair
themselves so far as their own territory ia con-
cerned. The present agitation in Congress will
doubtless be of great service to the States, in
calling their attention to this important matter,
as also to the country at large. In helping pre-
serve the pubic domain from spoliation and un-
worthy methods of occupancy.

perhaps, that "any woman can teach little
children"
It may also be mentioned that the erection
Of the Indianapolis High-school building
worked hardship to many pupils in remote
districts, who, owing to lack of accommoda-
tons in the ward school houses, are compelled,
at great inconvenience to attend the High
school s'annex" In the opinion Of the parents
of these children, it would have been better
to increase the facilities of the district schools
1t has been suggested that an industrial de-
partment be added to the High-school curric-
ulum; but if the cost of this plan did not
render it impracticable, it would still fail to
meet all the difficulties. The boys who must
earn wages would still be compelled to leave
unless, as before remarked, they were paid to
remain. At the risk of hurting the sensibili-
ties Of many ardent and esti6able champions
Of public education, we must repeat that the
only logical solution of the problem is that
the Hgh-school must go; not that we urge it
or desire it. but simply that it seems to be
the necessity Of the case.

A General Boycott To Be Desired.

The threat of one Of the talking Knights at st.
Louis that if the Missouri Pacific company does
not surrender within three days, the Knights
will "order OUT all the railroad employees in ST.
Louis and Chicago, and that if that does not ac-
complish the desired result they will 'order out"
all the Knights employed on all the railroads in
the country and in all the large manufactures,
sounds very much like boycotting the United
States of America An enlarged use of the boy
colt is much to be desired, because the commun-
ity needs to be aroused to clear comprehension
of its injustice by some calamity that everybody
can feel So long as 1t is only A, B, and c. who
are hurt by these black-mailing conspiracies all
the rest of the alphabet will shrug their shoul-
ders and do nothing. But if some gigantic Boy
colt like stopping every wheel in the United
States should visit every house and home in the
country, there would very soon be an end to the
practice on small scale as well as large scale.
Boycotting is species Of industrial measles
which has to run its course, but the amount Of
suffering that must be endured before ii runs its
course would be much less. In our Judgment If
the threat Of the talking Knights at St Louis
were carried into effect, than If trade and indus
try were left to suffer from q continued drizzle
Of small boycotts too inconsiderable to excite
universal resistance
