THE COURT RECORD.
superior Court-CiviI Side - Judge
Beardsley.

Beardsley.
At the short calendar session of this court
yesterday Benjamin Noyes was present to
argue his petition to restrain Receiver Rus
sell from paying the per cent. dividend re-
Gently ordered by the court until the receiver
should file complete report of his steward
ship as receiver. The case, however, did not
come up. Judge BeardsleY informed Mr..
Noyes that as the case was not down for
hearing at the short calendar session it would
have to go over until next Monday. If this
would delay the proceedings too long the
judge said that Mr.. Noyes had better apply
to another judge for an injunction, as he
could not issue one restraining his own order
authorizing the payment of the dividend.
Mr. Noyes subsequently stated that he
should apply for an injunction from some
Judge.
The efforts of Mrs. Mary R. Lockwood to

a demurrer and the arguments upon it occu-
pied much time of the court. There was no
decision.

ANsoNIA, Oct. 25.-Harry States, the e1-
master workman of the Knights of Labor
assembly here, has left for parts unknown.
1t is alleged that he used funds amounting to
$3.50 on pools at the recent races here, and
that the money belonged to a prominent citi-
zen in town. The latter was called upon to-
day and admitted he owed him the money,
but preferred not to say anything about it SO
that he might be able to reach him with the
law. States left some time ago, it was al
legged, with funds belonging to the Knights
of Labor, but it was settled up.-Register.

OVCOTTJNG LdBORERS.

Should EMPLOYERS take the side of labOrers
who are organized against those who are not
organzed7 That is practically tho meaning OF
the latest demand OF rebellious Knights of
Labor in St. Louis. A part of the workers on
the Missouri Pacific system were organized
less than half. More than half were not. The
demand is that the company shall recognize and
treat with the organized part alone, and take
them all back into its employ, whether the
others are needed or not. Is it right for the
employers to boycott men who have not CHI sen
to JON any organization According to the
statements of Mr.. Gould and Mr. Hoxie, 1000
or Q, 900 men who have been employed on the
whole system are not now needed, the business
of that part of the country having been greatly
Frustrated by the strike. Others, several
thousand in number, who had not chosen to join
any organization, have come into the service of
the company since the strikers went out. Shall
these men, and part of the old employees of the
company who were not organized, be turned
out of work in order that Organiz ID workers
shall be all employed Martin Irons and his
associates say that they shall. The company
declares that they shall not.
On this system of railroads less than half the
men lad consented to support an organization.
But according to Grand Master POwdery,
there are about 800, 900 Knights of Labor i'm
the whole country. According TO the census,
there were 1900 900 wage-carners in 1850,
and there probably are now 10000 900. Why
should less than two men in one hundred, of all
the workers in the country, claim the right to
exclude from employment wherever they please
ninety-eiglt in Que hundred? Ought anybody
| t,v, tbnt ,.,
ninety-elght9 Bat, says Mr.. Irons, the organ
izit0n claims TO represent the best interests of
all labor, and demands recognition in that
capacity and on that ground. That claim is to
be tested by facts. The fact that ninety eight
out of one hundred labOrers do not recognize it
is some evidence that the claim does not seem
well founded To the workers themselves. The
other fact is that the men themselves and evrn
the organization. through its Grand Master and
its Executive Committee. do not uphold the
claim which is made by those who rebel
against the principles and the authority of the
order 1t is no. Mr.. Eowderly OF the Executive
Committee who demand that all knights of
Labor shall be employed, though other workers
must be discharged for that purpose.
1t will be found that here is the root of the
difference between Martin Irons and his asso.
cate rebels against the principles of the
Knights of Labor and the loyal chiefs aud
supporters of the organization. He and his
associates want power to wrong all men who
are not under their control a. members of local
assemblies The knights of Labor rs an

THE CASE OF JOHN GOODE.

John Goode, of Virginia, is not fit man to
hold any public Office under Government
which derives its authority from the people $
will. 1t is not necessary to look into his
private character or his record as the custodian
of financial trust to discover reasons for the
rejection of his name as the second officer in the
Department of Justice. His public record is
enough The testimony taken under oath by
the committee of Congress in the famous
Plat .GoOde contest condemns him ar the
beneficiary and prime manager of series OF
outrageous frauds upon the people of the
Petersburg Congressional District frauds that
have few parallels in all the bad history Of
Bourbon electoral outrage, frauds that began
with his nomination and continued even until
the final vote was taken in the House Oh the
contest.
This record is ali printed and in the Library
of Congress. Senators have but TO turn over its
