Martin Irons was promptly notified TO
leave that city the other night and
lost no time in getting out. He
should not complain at this treatment,
for he boldly advocated driving all
workmen who were not Knights of
Labor out OF Sedalia and other rail-
road centers. As doctors never like
to take their own medicine, it is not
TO be wondered at that Martin objects
to taking the same pills" he pre-
scribed for the 50 called scabs.-Jef-
erson City Tribune.
Mr.. Powderly's charge that employ
ers sometimes boycott their workmen
is based upon instancets of men being
discharged for membership in the
Knights OF Labor. No doubt unjust
dismissals OF workingmen-some-
times for political causes; sometimes
for merely whimsical reasons-are
plentiful enough. As regards the
Knights, however, their frequent re-
fusal to permit men not of their MEM
bersbip to work has compelled en-
ployers to take the step complained of
in pure defense. The Knights have
themselves 10 blame for such alleged
boycotts by doing one of the very
things Grand Master Powderly says
thew must not do.-Cleveland Sun
and Voice.
An official representative OF the
United States abroad should indeed
be noted for the simplicity of his
manners and intercourse. But We
submit that to sit about the legation
Office in ones shirt sleeves and in
that condition to act not only as Min
ister but door-boy, is to carry repub-
lican unpretentiousness a little too
far, especially among so courtly a
people as the Japanese. Neither is
he wise diplomat who speaks slight
ingly of the people to whom he is sent.
even if he has been Governor OF
Texas, Il territory many times
larger than England, sir.R The do
nestle economies which Mr.. Hubbard
chooses u practice at the legation are
of course his own affair, but for its
own sake this Government should
not send abroad men who are utterly
regardless of good manners.-New
York Tribue.
The third-ave. strike is now thing
of the past so far as the public is
concerned. In the minds of the en-
ployes who left their places the idea
will probably stick for few months
that they may yet bring the company
to submit to their dictation. In
deed, not until their money is gone
will they accept the fact of the com.
panys victory as final. But, foolish
as the strike was, it is only fair tC
saw that the great majority of the
strikers have carefully refrained from
violence. We heartily wish that
they may all find themselves in good
places again. wiser for their recent ex
perience.-New York Tribune.
DR.. CYRUS Edson's opinion tina
the recent poisoning of the crew of the
bark Syringa, and the accompanying
opthalmia, were due to the excessive
use of tobacco, has renewed the fer
vor of the anti-tobaconists. For year
IL has been known to surgeons tina
the use of tobacco may lead to failure
of sight, and this fact has been mad'
use of by the anti-tobacconists. Th'
British Medical Journal few year
ago published a widely quoted articl
on this point. in which it said

although tobacco is the essentia
agent in producing failure of sight
Great moderation in smoking, and es
pecially the employment of mill
forms of tobacco, is all that is neces
