Mr.. Powderly asks the knights of labor
to keep jealous eye upon the doings of the
labor men who never labor. This is good
advice, but, as the Inder-Appeal says, it
would be still better if these fellows were
excluded altogether from respectable labor
organizations. In no true sense are they
knights of labor;more truly are they knights
of laziness and lawlessess, sowing the seeds
of discord, riot and bloodshed, and making
a harvest of suffering and woe for the hon
est workman and his family. In our time
we have had to deal with two strikes, Gin
both of which we were successful, because
we were right and in each instance idle and
worthless fellows, who held no situations,
and who would hold none permanently,
were the originators and instigators. This
has been almost the universal experience.
But so long as honest men submit to be
ruled by these worthless fellows they must
accept responsibility for their acts even if
they eliminate in incendiarism and murder.
There is no escape from it. They who SOW
the wind may expect to reap the whirl-
wind The nihilist and anarchist find too
much encouragement for their desperate and
diabolical deeds in the milder but no less
despicable outrages of the boycott and the
tie-up; in the denial of the exercise of per-
sonal liberty to contract for the sale of ones
skill and service, and in the use Of force to
deter men from filling places which have
been voluntarily and for no apparent or
sufficient cause vacated. Yes; the knights
of labor should keep jealous eye upon the
doings of the labor men who never labor,
and at the same time they should not spare
that introspection and self-inquiry which will
enable them to say how they would act
could they put themselves in other peoples
| places.
'Do unto others as you would they
should do unto you," is the grandest moral
law ever promulgated for the regulation of
human society, and we commend it to CAPT
talists and laborers alike as solution of the
troubles between them.

This is a free and eoual q,

This is free and equal country, and no
reasonable man denies that the workingmen
have the same right to combine for their
own benefit that capitalists have But in
order to secure that benefit they should be
at least as wise as the Capitalists The lat
ter have no strikers, boycotters, nor dema-
gogues among them, and the workingmen
would do well if they would follow their
example in that particular.-Aler. Gazette.

simple stagnation of sea-water is capable of
giving rise to poisonous qualities in the
animals inhabiting it; and that, too, when
it is free from sewage and other impurities
The poison in the mussels has been de,
scribed as a ptomaine under the name OF
mytilotoxin; but Prof. Virchow says it can
not be true ptomaine, as it is not pro-
duet of decomposition. 1t must result from
the conditions of the mollusk's growth.

The knights of labor could not possibly
have selected more inopportune time for
their strike than the present, when wages
were rarely higher and the cost of living
rarely lower, and when the general condi-
ton of the working men is not only infinite
ly better than that of the same sort of men
in any other country on the face of the
earth, but even better than it has ever be-
fore been here Alea. Gazette.

ODE TO A NEW INFANT.
Alas moor little kid,

Alas, poor little kid,
How young and fresh you are!
You cannot chew your quid,
Nor smoke the vile cigar.
But you can lie in bed,
And below like calf,
And wag your hairless head
Until you make us laugh.
And you can howl at night,
And make your pappy bound
From bed in costume light,
And tote you round and round.
And you can kick and scream,
And have the gripes and collie,
And wake us from our dream
With noises diabolic.
All. risky juvenile,
Though joyous now you be,
With milk and castor-ile,
And pap and catnip tea,
The time at length will come
When you must "up and git"
And earn your daily crumb,
By toll or trade Or wit,
Just like the rest of us.
