POWDERLY REELECTED
WITHOUT OPPOSITION FOR HIS
EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE TERN.
The Office Of Secretary-Treasurer
Divided and Mr.. Turner Elect.
ed Treasurer.

RICHMOND, VA, October lathe
delegates to the General Assembly
Knights of Labor were early a'oot
this morning and unusually pre- mpt in
their attendance at Armory Hall,
where the sessions are he i'd. The
most important work Of the conven-
ton was begun yesterday, when the
General Master Workman declared
amendments to the constitution in
order and was sustained in his de-
cision by the assembly despite TIE
objections Of few. This work of
amending the constitution was re.
sumed this m3rnirg and prosecuted
throughout the session. The pro-
po:ed amendment to the coustltu-
ton extending to two years the
terms of all gensral officers except
ing those of the members of the Co
operative Boards was taken up and
adopted. The terms Of the m emb5r
OF the Cooperative Board remain ss a.
present. Obar ges in the constitution
required tWo.Ihirds vote for their
adoption, and the calling OF the roll of
6l2 delegates consumed a good deal OF
time. When that matter had been
disposed of he regular order of bust
ness was suspended and the General
Assembly prcc .eded to the election of
general officers.
General Mas er Workman Pow derby
and General Worthy Foreman Girl.
fl his were reelected to the offices they
have already held fer seven consecu.
tive years. This aft rnoon the "a
sembly will continue the election OF
officers.

OUR esteemed friend "Boggy" John
ston, who is known far and wide for
the interest he takes in anything that
will benefit Arkansas, has for months
been working with al his might for
the fair to be held next week at Pine
Bluff by the colored farmers of that
State. and he has, we are glad to
know, succeeded in accomplishing a
great deal, enough to encourage the
industrious colored people to open the
fair on the 10th instant under cir
cumstauces of exceptional eclat. The
list of premiums is very encouraging,
and there is every reason for believing
that the fair will be one Of the marked
successes Of the year. "Boggy" is a
benefactor whose good wishes for
struggling people constantly guide his
hands and his heart.

WHAT Mr.. Parker, of Dyersburg,
says on the sixth page in answer to
Mr.. Fowlkes is a clear and manly
statement OF party ussge and custom,
and the duty that rests upon every
man to be guided by that usage and
that custom. So long as parties exist,
and they will no doubt continue to
exist until the dawn OF the millennium,
they can only be controlled and gov
erned by established ruler. And these
rules must be imperitive and imme-
diate. Without them the law Of the
majority would prove farce, and in
dividual whim, caprice or ambition
ton prevail to the confusion
OF its affairs, inviting idevita-
BILE ruin. Mr.. Fowlkes will,
we hope, see his duty by the light OF
Mr.. Parker's statement, and yield
gracefully to the will and wish Of the
majority. By doing so he will consult
the success OF the party and his own
continued ussfu'ne s as an esteemed
member Of it. Even in 80 strong a
Democratic county as Dyer schism
must not be encouraged OF Condoned.

WARNED OF THE NOMINATION OF
DIR. DULANEY,
in the Legislature That Elected

Knoxville Journal: The unterrified
Democracy of rock-ribbed old sullivan,

sentative after more than 200 ballot

Legislature in 1881, ..and, although he
was underst God to b5 decided friend
of Senator Bailey 10 his contest for re-
election, the ties Of kindred proved
stronger than mere personal prefer
ence and "Cousin Nat" felt constrained
to cast bis vote for Cousin Bob" for
the Senate, be having, contrary to all
expectation, on the part of Senator
Bailey, consented" at the last hour,
to "allow his name to be used" in that
connection. We well remember the
friends of Senator Bailey-iucludiug
the Senator, himself-wefe on spoken,
afier his defeat, in declaring that the
detection caused by Bob Taylor's un-
expected candida'ure was the prime
cause of Senator Bilty's defeat, the
few votes dawn from him by B b
having thrown him out of the LEAD
and ultimately caused his overthrow.
We remember, too, that it was openly
charged at the time, in the hotel cor.
ridor', that Boz had not only assured
Senst)r Bailey at Washington that he
would not be candidate, but that he
Bailey should have the benefit of
his influence in the contest. All this
WAS then a matter OF coma on Ia k
and free discussion. The censure was
not directed at DR.. Delaney as much
as at the Hon. Bob, it being conceded
by most persons that cousin Nat
was in some degree excusab,e for sup
porting cousin Bob" upon his de-
maud or request for his vote. Bat

for Ma,ks, Bate, House & Co. to
know, is that Cousin Nat" will

An EccnntrIr HnssenEer.

There is n woman In New York, who is
very fond of riding back aud forth in the
ferryboats. Before the boat gets out Of the
slip black and tan dog about the size OF a
rat creeps into her lap from her pocket or
some other place of refuge in her bosom a
hand dkerchief tied In bunch and carefully
opens Il, talking meanwhile In an undertone.
The dog snitis at the handkerchief stirs II
with his feet, and gives vent to bark out OF
all proportion to his siza Two little white
mice, not moro than two inches long, jump
out and chase each other all over the dog,
who barks and snaps plsyfully at them. The
mice, getting tired OF the dog, run up the
womans arm and hide in the heavy tresses
hanging upon her neck. All tho way across
the river she talks constantly to the animals,
calling them pet names and caressing them.
Though she speaks cheerfully to her COM
panions, and seems amused by their antics,
she never laughs. When the bell rings for
tho engine TO stop, she folds the mice in the
handkerchief after kissing them, put them
back In her bosom, end then the dog returns
TO his hiding place.
