Master Workman powderly,s Advice.

New York Il vening Post.
When Master Workman Powderly Is sensible
he is very sensible. but when he is foolish he can
be as foolish as any fool in the country. His
motto seems to be to throw energy into every
thing-good, bad or Indifferent In the early
part of the Southwestern strike he talked like
philosopher; but when he found the strikers
would not obey him. and that they had to be
humored, he showed he could be as silly and in
accurate as any of them. When that affair blew
over, however, he at once recovered his wits. and
the ''secret circular" which we print this even
ing is really full of ''horse sense" To be sure,
there is nothing In Ii which would not be mere
piatitnde in the mouth Of any man but knight

Colonel Dudley and the Campaign.

Washington Special.
Col. w. w. Dudley expresses his astonishmen,
at the appearance of paragraphs attributing to
him great disappointment at his failure to secure
an election as secretary of the Republican con-
gressional committee. He says that he never
aspired to the place, and never said anything
about it except to suggest the reappointment of
Mr.. Mcpherson. whom he regards as better
lifted by his long experience in Congress, his
extensive acquaintance with politicians all over
he country. and his aptness in arranging cam
paign work, than any other man who could have
been named.

that HAS happened, and the exhibitions the
Knights have been making of themselves, it has
air of almost superhuman wisdom. That it
should be necessary, however, to give the
Knights such simple, homely advice, sounding
so like the address of the superintendent OF
Sunday school to troublesome boys. shows what
huge job of education Mr.. Powderly has un-
dertaken. We wish him all success in 1t, but
must strenuously oppose the suggestion of one
of the Curtin committee that he should be al
lowed to revise the Constitution of the United
States. The pretensions of the Knights have
been sadly lowered since then.

Governor Foraker's denunciation of jeff Da-

anonymous lettsrs from unreconstructed South

abuse of Foraker and Northern patriots in gen

pictures OF jackasses and bloody shirts, and some
with guns, knives and confederate flags Many

qHF PEOrLE ale LEAnEKS

The insinuation that the politi-
clans have mid-lcad the people, and
by means of trickery have gotten the
masses against the Blair Bill. is
untrue. The fact is that the people
were the first. to see through that
measure aud to detect the secret
purposes oi its adv0categ. The
politicians were inclined to favor it.
thinking that as it was handsome
donation of large amount Of money
to the states, the people would favor
it as a matter of course. But in
this they were woefuuy mistaken.
The people had higher regard for
the provisions of our organic law
than they supposed, and were not
willing to sacrifice the princi pies
which they had been taught to
reverence as something sacred, for
the purpose of taxing themselves
three dollars to have one paid back
to them out Of the Federal Treasury
for the benefit of the public schools.
The people were wiser than the
politicians and did not follow them
worth cent. The consequence
was that after these politicians had
gone to great lengths in advocacy
Of that measure (supposing all the
while that the people were following
them, and that they had suddenly
become the leaders Of the people)
they looked back, and 10 and behold,
they were alone, in their glory, and
the people were all going the other
way. Nothing was LETT to these
would-be leaders but to raise the cry
that the people had been deceived
and had been lead off IN the wrong
direction by some other pOlltic-
ians as designing and un-
scrupulous as themselves This
is the mistake they made The
people in this matter were the
leaders, and these disgruntled poll
ticians are yelping like ours at their
heels, Surprising that some Other
politicians are in front. No cur
ever made a more serious mistake.
