There seems TO be no little incon-
sis:ency in Mr.. Powderly's bombastic
declarations Of wars upon monopolies
rs contradistinct from capital. He and
his followers, however, may be readily
excused for their present gracious
truce to capital from the fact that at
this particular time capital is what
they find themselves most In need of.
But it is rather incongruous that they
should declare they were endeavoring
to destroy monopoly, as the deadly
foe of progress and prosperity, and al
the same time seek to force from the
country an admission Of the right of
their 100000 members to monopolize
and control the disposal and proceeds
of the individual honopolies of the
100000 wage workers Of the
United States. Such non-sensical
chicanery and unadulterated gall and
hypocracy ought not for moment to
deceive the most uniformed person
in the community and its outright
venality is sufficient to warrant its
most summary suppression by the
strong arm Of law.

As is well known to general read
ers, the New York Sun, in the be
ginning of the "unpleasantness'
among the Knights of Labor which
resulted in a strike, was inclined t.
take issue against the railroad com
pany, and IN several instances ex
pressed sympathy for its "ordereG
out" employees. 1t also looked upon
Jay Gould much the same as ar
ogre, and, in fact. was generally an
tagonistic. Now, however, "a change
has come over the spirit of its dream,
and yesterday mornings issue con.
tanned the following editorial, sent to
this city by telegraph: "The official
report of the conference between Mr..
Jay Gould and Mr.. Powderly. has
been given to the public by the off.
GELS Of the Missouri Pacific railroad,
and pronounced Substantially correct
by Mr.. W. o. Mcdowell, one of Mr..
Powderly's colleagues. The inexora.
bic logic of it goes to show that Mr..
Powderly, Mr.. Mcdowell and MIR.
Bailey, together with Mr.. Hayes, the
representatives Of the Knights of
Labor, who having vigorously striven
for more liberal terms for the striking
order, finally consented to the cast
iron agreement presented by Mr..
Hoxie which was that the employees
actually at work might select a COM
m;ttee to present their grievances, and
that the Missouri Pacific company
would confer with them. Toward the
close Of the conference Mr.. Powderly
and Mr.. Bailey, together with the
others, struggled hard to get Mr..
Hoxie to agree TO "a committee of The
Knights of Labor but to every effort
Mr.. Hoxie replied without sparing
his words or meaning that he would
meet a committee actually at work
and in the service of the Missouri Pa
cific company. 1t is impossible after
reading the discussion to suppose that
Mr.. Powderly and his associated failed
to understand the distinction between
their plan of arbitration and that of
Mr.. Hoxie."

AT a recent meeting of Knights of

Mr." is known TO fame as III. Mar
tin Williams, the great greenback
apostle, journalist, chicken raiser and
what not. That this "Mr." Williams
should advocate cOmmunistic ideas is
not to be wondered at. He longs
with the whole of his eager soul to be
political power through the green
back party and astutely reasons that
if he can affiliate with it the knights
of Labor, he is on the sure road to
success. 1t won't work, however,

In the case of Mrs. Breckenridge
on trial in St. Louis as to her sanity,
two of her sons have shown a most
contemplate spirit, by upholding the
father at whose instigation the suit
was brought and who is evidently
anxious to get rid Of his wife by plac-
ing her in an asylum. When son
allows himself to turn against the
mother who bore him and who,
through his childhood, faithfully cared
for him, he is indeed unworthy of the
respect of civilized people and should
be made to understand the fact in no
uncertain manner. The lady in ques-
ton, during an examination which
lasted seven hours, never once lost her
composure and gave not the slightest
evidence of insanity.

personal liberty and individual rights,

Mr.. Powderly seems TO be quite as
expert in making his demands for
contributions from his order as he is
in declaring the order opposed to
strikes, and vet managing to keep
them on constant strike. In his APP

can spare to the secretary immediate
ly. He who gives quickly gives
doubly, act at once, another appeal
will be sent to you and We ask you to
prepare for il at once" In other
words, send every dollar you can
