General Master Workman PoWderly,
short time since. at Providence, Ri,
addressed a mass meeting upon the
aims and the methods of the Knights
of Labor. He said that on Thanks
giving Eve, 1863, seven men organized
the first local assembly of the Knights
Of Labor, recognizing no creed, no ma
tionality or color. In every trade ma
chinery is taking the place of the men,
and IN order to make labor-saying ma
ehinerY blessing the hours of labor
must be reduced to eight and ultimately
to six. which is the time men should
work each day. No act Of any Legis-
latnre is necessary to accomplish this
the work Of the workmen is sufficient.
Women should receive the same conn
pensation as men for similar work.
tLet the women. said the speaker,
come to us with their fathers and
brothers. find that in assemblies she
is the better man (aprlause.1 If you
hear people say that our organization
aims at socialism or communism You
may tell them in my name. il is not
true. Mr. Powderly denounced the
foreigners who, without anything in
common with American institutions,
hold thousands Of acres OF the richest
land in the country. He said the law
forbid any person not naturalized from
possessing even one acre. Our organi-
cation is not a striking machine. he
continued, and the new member who
thinks so must disahuse himself OF the
idea. Arbitration is a successful method
ana every day is proving itself more

There is d still worse feature TO this

The settlement Of the Brockton,

IN excellent illustration Of the prac-

Of which traces remain at the present

says, 1900 homes of people who con-

owners of which are mostly unable TO

Jhe discovery that long continued
jobbery has rendered many of En-
glands guns worthless M at a time
most inopportune for her. Europe APP
pears disposed to ignore English opin
ion concerning the Balkan question,
and this disposition will be greatly in
creased if the impression becomes gen
eral that her apparently formidable
navy is poorly armed. Yet England
might have all her old-time strength
and influence if she had the wisdom to
be Just. Had she treated the Irish peo-
pie with generosity, or even with JUS
tice, they would long ere this have be-
come a source of strength to the en-
pire in peace and in war, instead of
being q menace to her in case she
were to venture on hostilities with any
other power. So far from rejoicing in
this sad decay of British power. the
great majority of Americans sincerely

believe this, but il is nevertheless true

As all of the tents in the possession
of the United States government were
promptly forwarded to Charleston as

the president because he does not eur
tail his vacation is unworthy of the
high standard that paper has claimed

less than last year, and the yield per
acre about IL per cent below the aver
age, or three bushels less than 2S.07
bushels per acre, the 'oflicial aver

potatoes show no important differences.
The supply of cattle is larger than last

there is a reduction in the stock Of

The London newspapers are disposed
to growl ut the lord mayors appeal in
behalf of the homeless people of earth
quake-shaken Charleston. This spirit
is narrow and mean. Charleston can
live without English aid, but a contri-
button from England would be in the
line of cementing the friendly bonds
between the two great English-speak-
ing countries, and "a proclamation that
.'one touch of Nature makes the whole
world kim" When famine visits Ire
land and calamity come to England the
American purse is always open.

A further advance of n few pence per
ounce on silver in London one day last
week attracted much attention on Wall
street, New York. Every such advance
means an increase in the cost of bring

in European markets. This country
has wheat TO sell and is not adverse to
higher prices on the other side of the
Atlantic.

hMERICAN-CHINESE ROW.

A first class Americana Chinese row cc-
curred on East Douglas avenue yesterday.
Ii seems that Charlie Sing had rented a room
in which to carry on his ''washee' business
and his claim was denied by j. Davis, who
insisted that he was the rightful possessor OF
that region For a time each managed to oc-
cupy the room while the other was away, but
finally this became monotonous to the Lad of
yelowish complexion and he made break
for settlement, thinking a period of hot
war and afterwards peace was better than
living in doubt and uncertainty. His oppo-
nent. Davis, had not been on the scene long
until he concluded to evacuate the field for a
time, in the hope of gaining what he thought
much needed assistance. Going to a friend
he told him that ''felle wah goin I'd take my
death
His appeal for assistance was successful
and the matter was finally settled without
CHS DEATH being taken. Charlie now holds
the ranch and does his ''washee" smiling.

TURPIN'S TEAR.

About 1890 yesterday morning the well
known trotting horse Dick Tnpin created a
commotion by coming down Main street at a
tired-out gallop with one wheel and the shat
tered body of his sulky at his heels, but no
driver.
He was halted near the corner OF Douglas
avenue and the rig dumped into the ditch by
the side of the Citizens bank. Dick was
pretty well tlcsered ont and the sulky was
splintered fore and aft Some said the horse
had been running since . III the morning, but
when his driver, who is nic-named Dick
Jurpin. too. came in, he said that there was
no truth III that. While trotting on the
track the axle broke OFF against The hub Of
ore wheel and the driver was thrown off. OF
course the horse took fright, and after drag
ging the driver some distance he got away
with the result already stated.
