4 WISE LEADER.

II Is sirgQlarIy fortunate for the labor
efsanizatson that it has man like Pow
lERLy at its head in this crisis. The labor
movement has now reached the pivotal
point in its career. It it passes through
the present crisis in good shape its perma-
nency is established. But one false step
may wreck the organization in irretrievabe
ruin. Therefore the words OF wisdom
contained in the POwDERLY circular which
was published in Yesterdays GLOBE ought
to be written in letters Of gold
and hung in every assembly room in the
country. They are the words of truth and
soberness, deserving the careful study OF
every labering man. His note of warning
against the danger of following the reckless
advice OF that class of labor men who never
labor. but who are professional agitators. is
most timely. All the mistakes that the
labor unions have made are the result OF
the teaching Of that very class whom Mr..
PowDERLy cautions his brother laborers
to shun. Another strong plea that Mr..
PowDERLY makes is in behalf of
more tolerant spirit among
the laboring classes. The fact that they
themselves have been the victims of injus-
tiee and oppression does not justify them i'll
becoming oppressors when they have the
power. Two wrongs never make right.
Those who ask for equity must do equity.
The boycott is pronounced an instrument
Of injustice and unworthy the use of an Or
ganization whose platform processes to rest
upon the eternal principle of justice. Mr..
PowDERI.H claims that the boycott
has been borrowed from the mo-
nopolies who used it to Cypress the labor
ing men. No matter who invented
its use it has 40 place in this enlightened
age. The may have been times in the
darker age of the worlds history when il
could have been made effective, but moi
now Whether practiced by the capitalist
or by the laboTer it viii receive no counter
anee from the great mass of intelligent and
liberty-loving American people. Under the
Guidance of wise leader like PowDERLY
The Knights Of Labor ought to pass safely
Trough the impending crisis and build ur
aB organization on foundations so stable
that 1t will stand for all time.

A POVERTY STRICKEN BODY.


A Washington correspondent who has
been looking over the property lists of the
members of congress discovers that there
are more rich men in the house than i'll the
senate. This is probably explained by the
fact that there are SO many more members
in the lower house of congress than in the
senate. But the discovery that there are
not more than dozen millionaires in the
senate Is a surprise, as the gen
eral opinion has been that the SEN
ate is made up almost exclusively of
men who could count their millions. OF
all the New England senators it is asserted
that EUGENE HALE is the only one who is
a millionaire, and he acquired his fortune
through his father-in-law, the late ZACH
ARIAH CHANDLER. Mr.. EDMUNDs is the
next wealthieSt, who has sailed down about
a quarter of million, principally gained
from a lucrative law practice. Don CAM
ERoN is the wealthieSt senator from the
middle states, and his fortune is reckoned
at 81, GOO, 600. Both of the Ohio senators
are mlllionaireS, but no more are found in
the West until the Rocky mountains are
crossed. In the Northwest Senator PAL
MER looms up as the only real millionaire.
In the South. with the exception of MA
HONE OF Virginia and BROWN of Georgia,
the senators are all as poor as church mice.
Ii it be true that the great majority of the
senators had no money with which to buy
their elections. the great wonder is how
they managed to get elected.

THE DEVIL Is OFF.

The st. Paul prophet who wrote book
predicting that the devil would be let loose
on earth during the month of June, has
Cancelled the date. The prophet explains
to the GLOBE that a combination OF causes
has compelled postponement of the grand
spectacular performance until another sea-
son. The suddenness with which the
socialistic uprising was crushed In Chicago,
and the backbone that Greece has dis
p,ayed are two surprises that the devil
was not prepared for. His satanic
majesty relied mainly On the support he ex-
rccted from the Ottoman empire and the
Chicago socialists for the success of his
grand starring tour around the earth. Now
that the combination is busted all dates are
cancelled until there is reorganization of
the Hadean company. The postponement

people, but they will have to put up with

time, anyway.

following day the former made several
large purchases, among other things rail-
road ticket to San Francisco, and displayed
large sums of money. That night he had
all his baggage with the exception of one
trunk brought down to the Office, and.
after checking it, proceeded to the union
depot, where he took train for San Fran
cisco, accounting in the meantime for the
continued absence of his friend by stating
that the latter had gone into the country on
business. and would return in a short time.
Nine days afterward most horrible stencil
began to be emitted from the trunk which
Brooks had left behind, and an investlga-
ton revealed the partially decayed body of
a man, supposed to be c. Arthur Preller

as the murderer, and upon the arrival of
the steamer which bore him to Auckland,
New Zealand, whittier he had sailed from
San Francisco, he was arrested and brought
back to this city.

THE SOUTHWESTERN STRIKE.
MIR. Curtin's Congressional Com mit-
tee Still Taking Testimony

tee Still Taking Testimony.
ST. LOUIS, May 1O.-The Curtin con-
gressional subcommittee was in session
eight hours to-day and took large amount
of evidence. The first witness was VIM.
Kerrigan, general superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific system. His testimony
consisted very largely of identifying and
proving correspondence which has been from
time to time published. Outside of this Mr..
Kerrigan gave long and exhaustive state
ment of the strike from its commencement,
detailing acts of violence by strikers at diff
ferent points of the system, and referring
to various grievances which have been
claimed to exist since the strike began, but
which were not claimed at the outset as
causes of the strike. Mr.. Kerrigan esti-
mated the loss to the employees of the road
at 81, 900, 900, to the company So, 600, 900.
and to the country at large two or three
times this amount. Several other officials
of the company testified to various
incidents which occurred during the
strike, which would indicate that the
determination of the strikers was far more
desperate than was supposed by many peo-
pie Mr.. Kenna of De Soto testified that
carload of hogs arrived there the day before
the strike was ordered. in Texas IL Pacific
car. and that as the cars of that road had
been boycotted, the strikers would not let
it be moved and they actually prevented the
agent of the company for day and half
from buying corn in De Soto to iced the
hogs with Other boycotting acts were re-
lated. Mr.. HoXie and Martin Irons will
probably be examined tomorrow.

THE MANKATO INVESTIGATION.
Gen. BAKER has stirred up hornets

kato board of trade. The board now pro-
poses to give him another whirl, with the
promise this time to produce the evidence
on which its verdict will be found. This
is the proper way to get to the bottom of
the matter. The public is disinterested
spectator of the fight and only wants to
know the facts in the case. There is not.
OF ought not to be- any partisan feeling in this
Investigation. The regulations of Democrats
and Republicans alike are involved in the
charges, and so far as the public is con-
-cerned it is only interested in knowing the
ruth. The issue is now fairly made up
between the Mankato board of trade on the
one side of the case and Gen. BAKER and
his associates on the other. The indict-
ment has been preferred and the plea of
not guilty entered by the accused. A fair
trial and an honest verdict is all that is now
demanded. So much prominence has been
given to the matter that nothing short of a
thorough investigation will satisfy the pub
lie. Ii the accused parties are inno-
cent OF the charges it is due to them
that an opportunity be given them
to prove their innocence. If they are
guilty it is due to the people of Minnesota
that the fact be proven. 1t matters not

it ought to go on until all the facts are de-
veloped. The gentlemen who are arraigned

BEsSEMER STEEL.
An Important Decision i'm a Patent
Case.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Commissioner
of Patents Montgomery to-day rendered an
important decision in the Reese VS.. Thomas
patent interference case. The commercial
Importance of the invention, the right to
which was at issue, lies in the alleged abil-
ity to eliminate by its use phosphorus from
the metal treated by the Bessemer process.
The issue was made under two heads, one
for the process and the other for the fur
mace lining. which were the subjects mat
ter of two separate applications. In the
first, the issue was ''desiliconizing the
molten iron in converter with silicious
lining and then removing the metal to and
further refining it in converter with a
basis (calcareous) lining. That case was
decided in favor of Reese MAY "a. 1882.
The present issue was for the furnace lining
and was wOrded as follows:
"a mixture of lime or highly-burnt shrunl,
lime and petroleum tar Or asphaluum. adapted
for the manufacture of basis Innings -
Upon this issue the commissioner holds:
First-That Reese was the original and
just inventor of the invention in contro-
versy.
Second-'That he conceived, disclosed. IL
Illustrated and perfected his invention as
early as the year 1867; that Thomas having
taken no testimony could not go back of the
date of filing of his application, which was
March /, 1879; that Reese therefore perfected
his invention at least ten years before

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-The Capital is
authority for the statement that Secretary
OF the Navy Whitney has bought the inter-
est of William E. Chandler, ex-secretary of
the navy, in the Washington National Re-
publican. 1t says:
Mr.. Chandler, as is well known, was for
merly the financial hacker of the National
Republican and sold the paper about year
ago to new owners, represented by Mr.. JEFF
Chandler as Attorney, sir. Stillson Hutchins
being the principal party in the trans,
action as purchaser. The sum of
$4,000 is understood to have been paid down,
and some $50, 900 or $4,000 more remained
to be paid for which notes were given. OF
course when Mr. Chandler held these large
notes against the concern, he practically had
control of the paper, and articles that he
might send to the editorial room were not
likely to be refused The story is that Mr..
Hutchins persuaded Secretary Whitney that
it would be good investment for him to take
up the Chandler notes, and thereby obtain a
control over the columns of the Republican
which Mr.. Chandler possessed.

LAND FRAUDS.
The commissioners recommends.
lions Concerning Them.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The commits
sioner of the general land office, in his re-
Spouse to the senate resolution calling for
the number of special agents employed in
his office, and their duties, says that if the
Increased force recommended in his annual
report be granted, the entries suspended by
his order of April 3, 1885, can all be inves-
tigated and disposed of in about year and
a half. A large percentage of these entries,
he thinks, are fraudulent. The proportion
of new cases that will require such investi-
CATION will be much less than in those
previous to April 8, 1885, since the
order of suspension had the effect to
materially check the making or completion
of fraudulent entries. 1t was the ease
with which frauds could be perpetrated
under existing laws and the immunity of
fered by hasty issue of patents. he says,
that encouraged the making of fictitious
and fraudulent entries. The certainty of a
thorough investigation would restrain such
practices, but great fraud must inevitably
exist so long as the opportunity for fraud is
preserved in the laws, and so long as it is
hoped by the procurers and promoters of
fraud that examinations may be impeded
or suppressed. The commissioner renews
his recommendation that the pre-emp-
ton, committed homestead, timber culture
timber land and desert land laws be re-
pealed, and says
THE QUESTIONS. BROADLY STATED,
are whether the public lands shall be pro-
tected and an honest acquisition of title
thereto insisted upon, or a dishonest appro-
priation thereof be allowed. The questions
cannot long remain in allegiance. With the
present needless rush of speculation and
monopoly the public domain will be alb
sorbed in period of time so brief that even
preventive measures against fraud and mis-
appropriation may soon be too late to save
any considerable portion of the public lands
for the homes Of the people. The commits
sioner closes his communication with a
statement that his general information
leads to the conclusion that no large amount
OF public land remains in the West
ern states and territories east
of the cattle belt which an
actual settler can take up without first buy
ing off a speculative claim or voiding some
invalid entry by contest proceedings. while
within the cattle region it is notorious
that actual settlements are prevented and
practically made impossible outside the
proximity of towns through unlawful con-
troll of the country maintained by cattle cor
porations The demand for free land for
the homes of American citizens, which is
daily increasing in intensity, can no longer
be met unless patented lands now unlaw-
fully held or claimed can be redeemed to
the public domain and future illegal and
fraudulent appropriation decisively stopped.

PR ESS OPINION.
The London Post on the Outlook
for the Bill.

LONDON. May 10.-The Post says that it
believes that MI. Gladstone has proposed
to modify his home rule bill so as to retain
forty-ive Irish representatives at West
minister. but that Mr.. Chamberlain has
obdurately refused the concession. 1t is
rumored in London that three cab
met ministers, whose names are
not mentioned, will resist every pro-
posed modification of the home
rule bill as originally introduced. 1t is
stated that these ministers gave only con-
ditiOnal assent to even the consideration of
the proposed amendments.
The News has no mention in to-day's
issue of any proposed modification of Mr..
Gladstone's Irish measures and the silence
is construed as an official intimation that
no notifications are contemplated even for
consideration.
