The Church and the Knights.

Z. v. Powderly, grand master work
man of the Knights Of Labor, Wednes-
day evening in reply to question said
the object of his recent visit to Canada
was to confer with the Archbishop Of
Quebec In reference to the position Of
the Church toward the Knights OF
Labor:
But he added 1.-THE subject is q
delicate one, and do not feel at liberty
to say anything Oh the subject just
now. One word might lead toa great
deal Of trouble. and propose TO avoid
this if possible. In this part of the
country the church is on the best Of
terms with the order. One Of the prin-
eipal reasons for this is that the people
in this country are nearer the priests
than they are there. This is mutual
understanding. They are very particu-
lar there, and they have reason TO be.
There are so many anarchists there that
they have inst reason to be suspicious.
You know the inhabitants In ttat Gee
ton are almost exclusively French
and they are harder TO manage than our
people. We have some anarchists III
America, too, but they are not Of the
dangerous class. About all they con-
sist CT is wind. They amus6 them
selves and do no harm 70 am one else.

give you an example of dishonesty
practiced upon me by a party named
Jimpleson. He came to my house
one day and told me that he had one
of the best schemes in the world; said
that he had a gold mine not far away
and that if he had little gold with
which to salt it he could sell the claim
for 100000. He was so plausible,
talked so fairly, that | was completely
taken in. Invent with him and looked
at the mine. I was in need Of about
$4,000, SO I concluded to let him
have the gold. He said he could take
agold piece, carefully CRATE it off, and
SO skillfully imbed it in the sand that
no one could detect our scheme. sHow
much gold will it take?' | asked
sob, about $500. I can take that
amount and make the place worth at
least sl5o,O0O to us.
81 gave the money and he got a
crater and went out to the mines.
Several days afterward he invited me
to come out. He had done his work
we'll. We invited capitalists to come
and make us bid. My partner was
