If, as is asserted, the strike and the
boycott are illegitimate means for the
redress and prevention Of wrongs ofwhich
the Kuights OF Labor complain, how are
those wrongs to be correctedf Bypollti-
cal methods, Is the answer. But the
Knights are commanded TO keep out
OF politics. Grand Master Powderly tells
them that they shall take no part in po-
litical contests How then arc they TO
help themselves? II they shall not use
forcible means, as the strike and the boy
colt, aud may not take part in politics to
elect men who will make laws to give
them relief, what will they doY
Mr.. Powderly only declared that the
organization, as such, was not TO be used
for the political advancement of dema-
gogues. He has not said that the mem
bers Of the order shall not, as individuals,
take part in political contests. That is a
right and duty Of every American. Con-
Meeting one's self with secret order
does not forfeit that right.
The distinction should be kept fully in
view. While an assembly of Knights may
not properly, certainly not wisely, take
action in any political dispute, the mem
bers Of such order may, as men, vote for
the candidate who will, as member OF
the legislature, favor the enactment of
laws to create boards Of arbitration, and
to make their decisions respected.
To attempt to run any candidate espe-
cially in the interest Of any secret society
will usually lead TO his defeat, and gen
orally to bad feeling among the members
of the society But they may consistent
ly give their united support to the candi-
date who will pledge himself to use his
influence to secure better laws to regulate
the relations between capital and labor.
1t is admitted that the creation of tri-
bunal for the arbitration of differences
between employer and employe is the
proper way to reconcile them, and to pre-
vent the frequent recurrence of such dis
astrous strikes as we are now in the midst
Of The Twentieth Legislature will, If
composed Of the right kind of material,
provide for such a tribunal. 1t is the duty
Of the knights, as well as of other men
who want peace and order maintained,
to vote for men who will pledge them
selves to carry through such bill. The
men need not be Knights of Labor, and
It is better that they have no connection
with that order, but they should be re-
quired to show that they will work for the
good of all classes of society, which in
cludes the Knights OF Labor and members
of every other organization. We want
special laws for none, but general laws
for all.

Proteus Book, from Nicholson & Co. ProprI
etors OF the New Orleans Plcayune
with this comes to our table the carni-
val edition OF the Plcayune. This book
and paper are highly creditable to the
publishers. The illustrations OF the pa
geant are especially well given, the exc.
cution and coloring OF them being in a
high degree artistic. Not only does
nNoblesse oblige" seem to rest upon
the krewe in the excellence Of the enter
tainment, but upon the chronicler as well.
for pen and pencil have united in giving d
vivid representation Of il for all who were
debarred the privilege of seeing It Is no
small part OF the pleasure of the reviewer
TO state that all the work was done In
New Orleans, and TO secure such we can
rely on home talent and skill Copies of
these can be obtained by sending % cents
for the book and II cents for the paper,
and they are well worth so small sum.
Within the Shadow, by Dorothy Horoyd; from
the publishing house OF ID LOthrOp Il Co.
Boston, 80 Franklin street. Price, 90 cents.
These publishers are now iseuing
monthly "The Household Library" of
which this volume is the third number.
1t is their intention to place within the
reach Of all, good reading at the low rate
of 50 year. These books are neatly bound
in paper, and the literature is expected to
be of high standard, peculiarly fitted
for the home circle. This story is sim
pie one of the love of three girls for each
other, manifesting itself in deeds of gen
erous devotion. We find no highly
wrought sensatlonalism in it, and yet
enough Of incident and brilliancy to main
tain the interest. And after following
the different trials of the heroine we have
the satisfaction of saying as we close the

SENATOR HoAR wants to organize a
tribunal under national authority to go
South and take evidence in cases where
negroes are killed. The practical object
of such commission is not shown, UNI
less 1t be to provide some gentlemen
with offices. The evidence in regard to
the killing of negroes is of no conse-
quence to any federal authority, The
federal government cannot punish the
murderers, no matter how strong the
evidence against them may be. That is
exclusively matter of state jurisdiction,
aud the state is the only authority that
can act in Furnishing the guilty.

United States Docks.

In the course of the rehabilitation of
the United States navy, docks and navy
! yards require very serious consideration,
for, after ships and guns, there are no
requirements of more Importance for
naval purposes. The capacity of the
| government yards for dockage is very
insignificant, owing to which the bottoms
of our ships are but seldom subjected to
scrutiny, and this, above all others, is the
part of the integrity of which we need to
be most assured. The few docks that we
have are generally appropriated by
vessels undergoing repair, and
tina cruising ship is debarred the
use of this means of guarding her safely
and providing for her speed. A very
slight accident may disturb the copper
on the bottom of a wooden ship, which
may result in serious consequences if she
be sent to cruise in waters where she will
be exposed to the influence of the teredo,
and the neglect to clean the bottom when
loaded with grass or barnacle might so
impair speed as to make the difference
between capture and failure in a chase.
Docking for such purposes as inspecting
and cleaning the bottom is the excep-
ton in our practice as the demands of
repairs are considered paramount. ship
In which the repairs approach or lie be-
low the water-line must be placed in a
dock, and months being often required
to complete the work, the dock is closed
to all other purposes, and our ships are
frequently sent from one navy yard to
another to take advantage of a dock that
may be vacant. a
The embarrassments that have attend
ed this course in the past, while our fleet
has consisted of copper-sheathed wooden
ships, will be increased by the introduc-
ton of iron and steel hulls, which demand
much more care and more frequent re-
movals of such hindrances to speed as
will attach themselves to their bottoms.
The government has at present but
three stone dry-docks and one floating
dock. The latter is in use at Portsmouth,
New Hampshire; the stone docks are at
the navy-yards in Boston, New York and
Norfolk.
stone dock is in process Of construc-
ton at Mare Island, California; this is of
dimensions capable Of receiving ships of
the first class. It's length is $50 feet;
breath. 70 feet; depth of water over the
sill, 97.6 feet; and it will admit ship of
460 feet in length. When completed it
will supply a great want on the Pacific
coast.
1t requires no argument to show that
the government needs a great increase in
is facilities for doc ge; the necessit y

clogging and consequent degeneration of

clogging and consequent degeneration of
those organs.
In the last annual report of the New
York State Board of Health occurs the
following important statement:
"It is thing of common experience,
that water highly contaminated, even
with excremental matter, may be drunk
for long time with apparent impun1ty,
by many people; but that at some unex-
pected moment, either from an as yet TN
known change in the fermentation pro
cess, or as is often probable, from the in
PRODUCTION of an almost inappreciable
quantity of specific infective excreta, an
outbreak of typhoid may devastate the
community thus supplied"
The distinguished sanitarian, Simon,
tells US that the effect of impure water is
not always sudden, violent or general.
On the contrary, its results are more US
ually so gradual as to elude ordinary OBJ
servation; but they are none the less real
on that account.
