'rAe Great strllke alnaed.

Through the combined efforts Of the
st, Louis Citizens Committee and the
Curtin Congressional Committee, the
executive officers Of the Knights of La
Dor, Districts Nos. IL, 93 and 101, have
been induced to declare the great
strike against the Gould Southwestern
system OF railways at an end. The
official decree to that effect was pro-
mulgated yesterday by Executive
Committeeman Haynes. The men on
strike are directed to report for duty
to-dayin the States of Illinois, Missou-
ri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas.
Iheirre-employment will depend upon
the will OF the various railway mana
gers, but it is understood that all the
old employees who have not been iden-
tilted with riotous demonstrations or
the destruction of railway property
will be fairly dealt with.
This ends the great strike whichwas
precipitated on the 9TH of March
nearly two months ago-and which
has not only caused great disturbance
to the business of the country but has
been the means of inficting serious
damage upon the workingmen involv-
ed. 1t is the testimony of the Chief of
the Knights Of Labor that this unfor-
tunate strike was ordered without due
deliberation and in violation of the
aims and principles of the Order. The
practical triumph of the railway com
panies leaves the cause OF organized
Labor i'll far worse condition than it
was before the coercive action was at
tempted and the lesson should not be
disregarded. 1t teaches that the safe
ty of the labor organizations lies only
in intrusting power to men of sagacity,
GOODNESS and experience, and that no
strike ola general character should
ever be ordered until conference, arbi-
tration and appeal have all been ex-
hausted. And then it should not be
forgotten that while all men who toll
have right to leave the service of
their employers when dissatisfied
they have no rights to resort to lawless
or un-American methods to enforce
their demand,-N. Y. World.

| am authorized to say that there is
no foundation for any of the state
ments that have been published at
tributing to Secretary Manning a de-
sire to retire from the Treasury De-
partment. SO far from these state
ments being true, the contrary is the
fact. Secretary Manning earnestly
desires, and fully intends, to remain
at the head of the treasury Depart
ment, which he has so ably. directed
for the past year. He has never spo-
ken to the President in regard to re-
signing, nor has at any time indicated
to anyone such purpose. As soon
as he was sufficiently recovered from
hisrecent attack he proceeded to in
form himself in regard to what had
been done during his illness and he
now receives daily information on the
subjects from his subordinates. He
is improving in condition every day
and was out riding again yesterday.
He reads the newspapers, takes the
fullest interests in what is going on
and will be a greatly disappointed
man if he is not able to resume his
work at the Washington

DEAR COMET With the excite
ment created by the splitting up of
the Republican convention for Sulli-
van county, at Blountville, to-day, and
the prospect of "wet" ticket for the
Board of Aldermen for the town of
Bristol, our community is in quite a
state OF commotion tonight. The Re-
publican convention ended in "bust-
up" into two sets of adherents, one
being for Hon, R. R. Butler and the
other favoring Hon. A. H. Pettibone;
but as the chairman Of the convention
leans toward Mr.. Pettibone, suppose
that Mr.. Buffers adherents or dele
gates will be ruled out in the Con-
gressional convention, though the in
dications in the county convention to-
day prove that Judge Butler is by far
the more acceptable man with the
people-in this part of the district
1t is very probable, however, that Mr..
Pettibone will receive the Congress-
lonal nomination of the Republican
party of this district.
The municipal election Yesterday
resulted in favor of the old Board NV
the overwhelming majority of two
hundred and thirty-four votes, against
the new board. The old ticket was
dry" and the new "wet." This i. an
indication of what favor total probi-
bition wonld receive if advocated, and
an earnest of the final result of tenn
perance reform in this State for he
