THE Observation-Disclosures for to-day: Slightly
warmer and fair or partly cloudy. temperature
yesterday; Highest. Oh lowest. 360; average,

When the g. silk stocking" Democratic lead
ers decided not 10 have anything to do with
plebeian Irving Hall this year they made mis-
take which they may regret, for this devoted
little faction has decided to cast its $4,000
votes soldly for Henry George. If the silk
stocking" crowd don't like the butcherng bust
ness now they may like it even less after
November 2.
The Mormons have renomnated Delegate
Game and declared in favor of Statehood.
From a Democratic point of view this is not so
absurd as it seems. The party that is capable
Of doing such gross injustice to Dakota because
It has Republican majorityAs equally capable.
II il had the power of outraging the moral
sense of the Nation by the admission of Utah
because it has a Democratic majority. Indeed,
there are Democrats in the present llonse who
have expressed themselves as favorable to such
q course.
If is not reconsidered to-day, the vote IN
the Knights of Labor Convention permitting
an exchange OF cards between knights and
members of trades unions will contribute
materially to peace in many trades. 1t Will
allow knight to work in trade-union shop
without joining the union, or trades-unionist
to take employment in shop controlled by
knights. If the rule had existed IL this city
sOme months ago, the great cigar strike and
lockout would hardly have occurred. But Its
tendency will not be to make life easier for the
workman who wishes to remain entirely indie
pendent.
Mr.. Hewitts letter of acceptance is variously
commented upon. Republicans are much
amused at the way in which they are ignored
in his description of the situation. Mr.. Hewitt
seen to think he has no opponent except Mr.
Henry George. Possibly he has not learned
that the Republicans mean TO make most
determined effort to elect Mr.. Roosevelt Mayor
ON November 2, and that not only they, but
good many Democratic politicians, think it
would not be STANCE if the youngest can
didate in this race should win.
It is said that repeated attempts have been
made to obtain from the Republican candidate
for Governor of New jersey some qualification
of the plank in the platform in favor OF sub
hitting the temperance question to the people.
They have failed. Mr. Howey stands squaiey
by the principles he was nominated to uphold
The disgust of the Democrats and the Third
Party men, whose only principle is to "smash
the Republican party" can better be imagined
than described. Sincere friends Of temperance,
however will appreciate Mr. liowey's attitude.
E Travel is a good thing for everybody,
Knights of Labor included. Some Of the
delegates to the Richmond Convention have
returned TO New York with their eyes opened
IN the status OF the negro in the South and
with a clear perception of the relation of his
condition TO their own. If the negro continues
In receive wages from 80 to 100 per cent lower
than a white laborer would get for similar
;ob i'm the North they see that the result VIII
eventually be to lower the higher wages TO Inc
Southern ley,l. This the knights who have
been a-visiting declare they will not permit II
they can help it. Moreover they are clear
headed enough to realize that unless the black
man has all his rights he cannot rise to the
grade of his white brother. II is the pro-
claimed intention, therefore, OF many OF the |
knights to vote hereafter only for such caDdi- |
dates as are governed by the principle of equal
tights for all men, both at the polls and in the
shop and field.
Much sympathy is naturally felt for the
families of the condemned Anarchists and
nurderers in Chicago; but it is less than 1t
vould be if these people would refrain! from
