we could only throw overheard the
gold standard aud frankly and fully
adopt that of silver. business would
be relieved of the letters which now
restrain 1t, and new enterprises
would spring up to increase the de-
mand for labor, and. thus to increase
its market value. Borrowers would
no longer be deferred, as they are

back vastly more in value than they
borrow, but would have the assurance
OF being able to keep the legitimate

they would get higher rate of IN

little in the diminished purchasing

KNIGHTS OF LABOR CONVENTION.
The Color Question Comes Up-G. VI. W.
POwderly's Speech,


Powderly's Speech.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 5.-The Knights of
Labor convention is not yet ready to be-
gin business. The committee of arrange
ments are puzzled to know how to take
care of the colored people at the evening
ball, and have decided to let the
matter settle itself There will be
two dancing pavilons, but it isnot intend
ed to assign one to the whites and the
other to the colored knights, rs the order
recognizes no such distinction. 1t is
thought the matter will settle itself peace
fully, rs each will be content to associate
with those of his own color. Still If q
colored Knight should prefer to dance
with the white people, there will be no at
tempt to prevent them. The colored
Knights have contributed more than the
whites to the entertainment fund.
Grand Master Workman Powderly's
annual address will he presented to the
convention, it is expected, to morrow af.
ternoon, somewhat rs follows:
THE most eventful and trying year of
our existence AS an order has ended and
we assemble for the purpose of
reviewing what has been done, cor
recting those things that are wrong,
and OF legislating for. the future"
Mr.. Powderly will say that while the
men in the Southwest suffered great
wrongs, he did not countenance the
strike. He will advocate as "A necessity
the introduction Of the eight hours ques-
ton and deprecate child labor which la
Dor the constitution of the organi
zation prohibits in children under
II years of age He will discuss
the troubles between trades unions
and the general assembly and recommend
that all matters likely To create breach
of the peace between our order and any
other be at once submitted to the execu-
tives OF both organizations.
He will close by replying to some of the
charges made against himself, referring
to his record of the past seven years, and
will urge the society to stand closely to-
gether as a unit, for that alone is strength.

-
With this issue commences the Fourth
Volume of this paper. The DEMOCRAT
was established in March, 1885, and is
now in the middle of the second year Of
its existence. 1t experienced in its
earlier days the vicissitudes usually at
tendant upon journalistic ventures, and
for time the success OF the enterprise
was problematical 1t safely, however,
tided over the shoals OF financial
adversely, upon which so many
OF i,s predecessors had been
wrecked and is now in smooth
water, with correct bearings, reliable
compass, and sailing capacity sufficient
to enable it to pursue its course,
in the face OF any adverse winds
which it may reasonably expect
to encounter in the future. Its cir
culation and advertising business are
daily increasing, and its managers pro-
pose in the near future to make improve
ments in dimensions, quantity and quail
ity OF reading matter and the extension OF
news-gathering facilities, proportionate
to the patronage bestowed by an appre-
ciative and generous public. The per-
menance of the DEMOCRAT is an assured
fact. 1t is here to stay. 1t is one OF the
institutions OF the city and Territory, and
will 50 remain, despite the envious malice
of its local contemporaries, Gentle or
Mormon. 1t will, as heretofore, advocate
the principles OF the National Democracy,
and rs II Democratic organ OF course will
continue its denunciation OF local treason,
and sustain all lawful measures and acts
for the punishment OF volators OF the law.
and the suppression of the institution
which is responsible for its violation.
The DEMOCRAT asks nothing more than
its merits entitle it to receive, and OF
these it is for the public to judge. 1t is
no mendicant, and it solicts no aims. 1t
bases its claims to patronage upon its
ability to render value received TO those
whose favors are recorded in the books
at the business office.

THE CANADIAN sCHoONERs.

The seizure of the two Canadian
schooners by the United States revenue
cutter in Behring Sea, has given rise to
the question whether our Government
bought the right to the sea from Russia,
and il 80, whether Russia had the right
Of sale. The case furnishes no reason
why this should be 80. The sole right to
capture and kill fur bearing seals in
Alaska was sold to the Alaska CONNER
cial Company, an American organization
Of which the late Senator Miller of Cali
fornia was the head, and they were
limited in the number permitted to be
killed to 100000 annually, and
for the protection Of the seal
fisheries, Government officers are
stationed both in Alaska where the
company's vessels sail, laden with the
pelts, and in San Francisco, where they
arrive, and careful count Of every skin
is made as it is tossed on shore, and all
in excess OF that number would be seized
and heavy penalty inflicted therefor.
These schooners had on them ten
breech-loading guns and ammunition.
contrary to law, and were seized for this,
and for the violation of Section 1886
Revised Statutes of the United States.
They were caught in the act Of taking
seal, and had some 1000 skins
aboard them. They had no permit
or license for the work, and
being engaged in an unlawful business
were liable to seizure anywhere outside
of the National league of their own coun-
try. The Captain of the revenue cutter
Corwin, is a man of extended experience
in such matters, and not likely to seize
vessels unless they were clearly in the
wrong. The enemies of the Administers
tion will try to make capital out OF this
seizure, while every true American will
hail it as good reprisal, and compliment
the Government for its work. The Alaska
Commercial Company is fully able tc
bring about the condemnation OF these
vessels, and the punishment OF theil
owners
