MEMBERSHIP in the Knights of Labor
neither makes a man patriot nor law
breaker. The members Of that organiza-
ton can be fairly judged only by their
individual records. Every tree is judged
by its fruit. Efforts on the part of Knights
of Labor to conceal or condone lawless-
ness must result in public doubt of the
professions of such knights. Actions
speak louder than words. Unauthorized
boycotting and sneers at efforts to main
tain law and protect property will repel
popular sympathy and confidence unless
denounced and disclaimed by the order
in whose name and for whose benefit such
offenses are committed. Two, If not
three, of the officers who were shot in
Fort Worth were Knights OF Labor; two,
II not all, of the murderers were Knights
of Labor. 1t does not help the cause nor
inspire respect for the order to admit the
former and deny the latter.

to one side and has been blind as bat r.
the other eide OF the question. Thing,
have come to pretty pass when !
receiver OF road can, through his agents
employ body OF men through misrepre
seDtatlon OF facts, then have them cast
into prison when they refuse to 20 ia
work, as was the case in Marshall. The
facts were established that twenty men
were employed at New Orleans to 20 ia
work at Marshall In the shops. They
were told that the strike on that road was
over. When they arrived at Marshall
they were sworn in as deputy United
States marshals Learning the true state
OF affairs they refused to work. They
were then arrested and taken TO Jeffer-
son, charged with an attempt TO swindle
the receiver out Of their railroad
fare, When the case came up the U. S
attorney recognized the fact that there
was no case against them. Why did NOT
Judge Pardee do his duty in that matter?
He knew the receiver had violated the
law. 1t seems to make considerable differ
ence who is the culprit In the iudce,s
court. These men were unlawfully de-
prived Of their liberty, but nothing must
be said about that the mantle of oblivion
must be thrown around that, it was done
by the receiver or his agents, and thew
were only poor men and had no rights
which should be respected Among the
sentences imposed, l see that one
Richard Gordon received ninety DAYS
for intimidating employees and
throwing rocks at them. II is perfectly
right that ne should be punished, but /
leave 1t TO any fair-minded man, which
was the greater crime OF the two? Ii Is
a known fact that a stream can never rise
higher than its source, so it is with the
power delegated to all officials, not even
excepting United States judges and re-
oeiversi they are amenable to the law and
that which makes the law, public opin
ion and the win of the masses. This
government was not intended by its
founders and defenders to be run by Mr.. |
Gould, HoXie, Pardee, Brown, or any
other set OF men, and if that part of |
Judge Pardee's decision which denies to
nm employee of a road the right to |
leave the service of such road at
any time he sees fit without any provision
rs to his intention of iniuring the road |
Is law, think that the sooner such |
aw is repealed the better. l do not think
such construction can be put upon it.

THE debris of the old Radical party In
the South is not exactly the material out
Of which to construct reformers. They
were educated in the school Of lawless-
uess and spoliation, and their methods
do not conduce to peace and order and

charge of all public questions, and now
is the time to look into all these matters

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's message &c
the senate, suggesting arbitration as d
means of settling labor disputes, is timely
and relevant. 1t appears to be an admit
ted principle among the lawyers that the
national legislature cannot arm an arbl-
tration board with power to compel en-
ployers or employees to submit to its de-
cisions, and as legal power such a com
mission would amount to nothing. AS a
moral power, however, its decisions
would be respected. An investigation Of
the points at issue between an employer
and his workmen, and the publication Of
the finding of the board, laying the blame
where it belongs, would 90 far toward ob-
tanning justice. Neither side would relish
being heldup as responsible for the con-
of a strike, and they would soon
come TO terms.

Discretion of A Highlander.

One day at Blair Athol, the Duke oil
Athol. having entertained a large par
ty at dinner, producad In the evening
many curious and interesting family
relics for their inspection, among them
a small watch that had belonged TO
Charles Stuart, and had been given by
him to one of the Dukes ancestors.
When the company were on the point
of departing the watch was suddenly
missed, and was searched for In vain
upon the table and about the apart
ments. The Duke was exceedingly
vexed, and declared that OF all the ar
ticles he had exhibited, the lost watch
was the one he most valued. The
guests naturally became uncomfort-
able and eyed one another suspicious
ly. No personwas present however, VINO
could possibly be suspected, cour-
tesy forbade any further step than
the marked expression OF the noble
hosts extreme annoyance and dis
tress. The guests departed for their
homes in an unenviable state o fmind,
and the mysterious disappearance or
the royal relic was q subject OF discus
sion for several months in society. A
year afterward, the Duke being again
at Blair Athol, while dressing for dim
ner felt in the breast pocket OF q coat
which his valet handed to him some
thing which proved to be the missing
watch. "Why," exclaimed his grace,
sshere's the watch we hunted IN VAIN
for everywhere last year, Yes, sir"
replied the valet gravely; II saw your
grace put it in your pocket, You
saw me put it in my pocket'and never
mentioned it! Why didn't you speak
at once and prevent all that trouble
and unpleasant feeling?" 81 didna ken
what might ha been your .grace,s IN
tentions, vas the reply of the faith
full and discreet Highlander, who saw
everything, but said nothing unless he
was directly Intercepted.

A Story OF the Empress Eugene,

The following, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, is thelatest story that is told
about the Empress Eugene, who has
ever been a striking figure since the
day she charmed Napoleon III. with
the wreath of violets which she wore
in her golden hair. "Twas morning
then, but now the night has come"
A few days ago, says the chronicler, a
visitor of the Marcus church at Venice,
where the ex-empress is now staying,
observed a lady dressed in deepest
mourning kneeling in long, silent
prayer before one of the side alters.
When at last she rose she looked
about her in search ofsomething which
she missed, and then walked slowly
away, and supporting herself by the
wall. toward the entrance. The
stranger politely offered his arm,
which was gratefully accepted, the
lady meanwhile explaining that one of
the beggars must have taken her sill
ver-headed walking-stick away, with
out which she was every helpless"
Outside the church two liveried foot
men were waiting; the stranger on re-
firing offered his address card (alas,
for cruel Nemesis, he was a German
from Berlin!), glancing at which the
lady was seen to shudder slightly and
then return the civility by whispering:
Empress Eugene, and-homeless.

Services of Henry Smith.

There are always. several letters
awaiting Speaker Carlisle's eye, which
show how completely some people are
willing to make use of the public SER
wants of the country. These letters
are communications requesting the
Speaker to decide omeparliamentary
point which is troubling some organi-
zation. Occasionally a debating club
gets all torn up over something IN
Cushing's Manual and agree to refer
the settlement of the whole dispute to
the Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. Mr.. Carlisle usually hands
all such letters to Mr. Henry III. Smith,
the journal clerk and author OF the
book of over 500 pages containing the
manual and digest, and rules and prac-
tices of the House. Mr.. Smith is what
the boys call a parliamentary shark"
He sits in front of the Speakers desk
and follows the course OF legislation
more closely than any member upon
the floor. When the House is in a
tangle, and a dozen men are upon
their feet making this or that parlia-
