have assembled here in the interest of
good cause. 1t is not project that
we willingly undertook. 1t was forced
upon US. We had hoped that the good
judgment and the enlightenment of
the American people were sufficient
to protect life and guard the sacred
rights of property. And even when
we saw they were not, it was with re-
greet that we resorted to the means of
an organization to protect what all
mankind believe to be sacred rights.
1t was a hard road to get out of a diff
cult place, but it was the only alterna-
tive. We are assembled here to
strengthen the League aud extend the
organization. AS the birthplace of the
order, we feel a pride in our city, and
to its hospitality We extend you a
hearty welcome.

dress and returned thanks to the
League and citizens of Sedalia for the
hearty welcome extended the visiting

reassembl ed, the committee Oh organ
ization recommended that an execu-
live board be selected, which should

Sedalia, and Pearson and Lightner, of
st. Louis, were called for and each

Among the 4th of July returns we
find the following in the Perryville
Chronicle. We re-publish it as SAM
pie OF one of the ways in which we
celebrate: 1--WE are informed that the
Milheim celebration terminated with a
grand free-for-all slugging match in
which many belligerent patriots had
their frontispieces decorated in varie-
gated colors i'm which black and blue
predominated. We are informed that
one Knall Kemper, who served term
in our county Jail for carrying pocket
artillery,..was at Mllheim picnic with
his pocket cannon which he tiourished
around until he got rumpus started.
But Kemper got a bigger mill than he
bargained for, and before it ran down
he was downed and ground and pound
ed into jelly. No arrests have been
made so far as we know"

Political scandals follow each other
in rapid succession in New York. The
latest is confined within the happy
Republican family. Mr.. George Bliss,
the star lawyer, asserts that in the
campaign OF 1884 the sum of $50, 900
was placed by Jay Gould in the hands
of John J. O'Brien, the Republican
leader lii New York city, said sum to
be expended by O'Brien in the city in
procuring votes for Blaine, but that
O'Brien quietly put the money in his
own pocket. Mr.. Bliss and Mr.. O'Brien
have fallen out and the former now de-
mands that the latter shall render an &C
count of his trust. This is not an unreas-
enable demand, but Mr.. O'Brien does
not appear to be at all anxious to
comply with it.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

l The signs that the greatest labor organiza-
 tion of modern times is disintegrating are on
 the increase. The Chicago Knights have re. l fused to pay the special twenty y-five-cent as.
 sessnent ordered by MT. Powderly. and the Philadelphia Knights have followed their ex. | ample. In their rebellious course the Phila- delphia Knights are supported by the Toe. sin, the orders local organ. There are indi-
 cations that the Knights in other places are l not responding with any great cheerfulness
 or unanimity to the call.
 Martin Irons old assembly, No. 1O1, has 1 gone to pieces. Its members, who were rail ! road employees, could not get passes on the Missouri Pacific, and the cost of paying their fares in travelling on their business out of the 1 assembly's general fund has proved too big a drain. The fight between the Knights and the trades unions goes vigorously on. The unions show no disposition to yield to the demands of the Knights, and do show ade- cided disposition to ''run things' to suit themselves. It is announced that District 1 assembly No. 1,755 of the Knights of Labor of Chicago has declared war on the trades assembly and withdrawn it's delegates. The notorious assembly No. 49 is again making a stir by it's attitude toward the trades unions It will withdraw from the New York Central Labor union, which it has found some diff culty in "bossing." When it ceases to fight other labor organizations perhaps it's ruling spirits will fight harder and harder among themselves, and finally lose what influence they have left.
 All these and other similar occurrences have been expected by those who have paid attention to the situation. A few months ago the labor leaders were operating on a large scale. They had, or professed to have, great sums of money to work with, and their followers were surprisingly obedient. But their promises have not been fulfilled. Those who have blindly obeyed them have discov- cred that the benefits which were to flow from such obedience are lacking, and in many cases grievous injuries have resulted. submit to assessment, and they have lost much of their faith in the assessors. The trades unions have discovered that they can- not allow their affairs to be regulated by the executive board, and they are full of fight.
 The present situation is instructive. Too much has been attempted, and some of the methods used to right the wrongs of labor have not been wise. Unjust demands, tyr amy, ill-considered strikes and criminal boy cotting have worked strongly against the true interests of the laborers.
