The Knights of Labor have opened their
General Assembly at Cleveland with talr
promises of successful session. AS rule.
The delegates are said to be intelligent men,
ANXIOUS to settle all questions wisely. They
are receiving much official attention. The
Mayor and other public officers have called on
Mr. Powderly, flags have been holsted on all
official fagpolcs and the opening of the Amer1-
can Church Congress IN the same city is de-
cidcdy eclpsed as an incident OF interest. Does

The appointment of Mr. Roswell p. Flower as
Electrical Subwlys Commissioner of the City
of New York will be received with xed feel

small minority Will heartily rejoice that Mr.
Flowers aspirations for office have at length
been gratied; the great majority, however,
will fear that a profitable and perennial candl-
date with a b ,r'l is now beyond their reach
Yet we should say that these fears were un-
founded. Doubtless Mr.. Flower merely regards
the Electrical Sideways Commission as a step
toward the Presidency of the United States.
1t is anybody's right, of course, 20 propose
the health of Jefferson Davis if he wishes, and
il is certainly popular to do 80 III the South bu
the criticism which a member of the Old Guard
and the Grand Army OF the Republic has
brought down upon himself by doing this thing
at Savannah recently has doubtless convinced
him that he made a mistake. Perhaps frank
admission to that effect would help his position
somewhat. At any rate, to insist that having
forgiven the South there is nothing out of the
way for Union man to honor an unrepentant
traitor like Davis does not show proper appre-
citation of the feelings of the veterans of the
war 1t rritates them sadly.
Public att, nion will be diverted to-day from
the trial of Doodle " Aldermen to the trial of
Johann Most. 1t ought not to take long to dis
pose of this case, and give the fellow all he
deserves. But in addition To this we hope the
circumstances under which Most was captured
will be established beyond doubt. The police
say they caught the noble Anarchist under the
bed in a womans room. This Most denies
saying that he met his fate manfClly. Evi-
dently he understands that if he is rendered
ridiculous his attempt 10 make capital out of
his arrest will fail Martyrs and heroes are
never found under bed. Moreover, if the
story of the police is sustained Most is once
more proved liar.
Despite the denial of the Saturday papers in
London, The TKIBUNE's regular correspond
ent in the English capital telegraphed later in
the day that Mr.. Gladstone would speedily call
q meeting Of Liberals i'll support of the
movement IN favor of the Home Rule bill.
Our correspondent was correct and the
meeting was called yesterday for Thurs
day. The Queen was visited by the
Premier last evening, and as the Court starts
for Balmoral to-day IT is believed that royal
assent to a dissolution of Parliament whenever
Mr.. Gladstone wishes it has been obtained.
The burden of all the reports from London is
that the chances OF passing the bill TO a second
reading are increasing; as Mr.. Labouchere
