ENGLISH VIEW OF THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
New YORK, March 26th.-A London
cable says: The Knights of Labor opera
lons begin to attract the interest of the
English press. The Daily News gives
nearly two columns TO history of the
organization from Uriah Stevens time
down, and the Telegraph has the same
space devoted to an editorial apparently
joyous that there is no such Order in Eng
land. Its leading editorial thus ends: The
Knights of Labor and other organizations
IN sympathy with its plans constitute at
the present time the most powerful organ
lzatlon of workmen ever known in the
history of the world. The Ne,oS concludes
its leader by remarking that the prevalence
OF boycottlng is at this moment great
obstacle to the acceptance of Irish home
rule by England, and we cannot believe
that Americans will tolerate the negation
of liberty erected into a system.
