Local Assembly. No. 1907, X. of L. of Chi
cago, has just issued an address to the
Knights of Labor assemblies throughout the
country in behalf Of Parsons, the condemned
Anarchist. The address sets out that Par
sons has been member Of the order for ten
years, in good standing; that his career has
been without blemish;" that he was in
dicted and tried, not because he was more
guilty than others, but because he was one
of the recognized leaders in the movement
evidencing the discomfort of the wage class
that his trial was but a '.travesty of JUSTICE !;
that the verdict was merely the response of
jury OF employees to the demands of their
employers" that it was an outrage" and
that the execution of it will be judicial
murder" Knights of Labor ought to be
very slow to give their sanction to such a
document as this, which is not an appeal for
mercy, but charge without a particle of
evidence to support it, that Parsons is about
to be judicially murdered by capitalists. The
inevitable effect of such action will be to
create the impression in the public mind that
in the opinion Of the Knights of Labor such
crimes as Parsons was guilty of are excusa-
BILE when committed in the name of labor.

1t is notorious that the sale of cider in this
State is practically unrestricted. There is a
law that forbids its sale in smaller quanti-
ties than five gallons, but it is pretty gener-
ally ignored. Cider is sold freely by the
quart and by the glass all over the State.
The Good Templars are moving to stop this
business, and will ask the legislature for
some amendments to the present law.

Col I. W. Higginson writes to the Boston
Post that the published account of Satur-
days experiments in what Mr.. Bishop calls
mind reading" were altogether too fatter-
ing. Some of the experiments were utter
failures, and very few, if any, of them were
performed strictly according to the announce
ment. Thus when Mr.. Bishop drove through
the streets in search of the hidden scarf pin
some one of his companions in the carriage
constantly touched his head, whereas in
the preliminary circular it was said his only
connection with the committee would be
through some fifteen feet of wire rope. Col.
Higginson admits that the results were re-
markable, but he is not prepared to admit
that Bishop possesses exceptional powers.
Mr.. Charles Sedgewick Minott who also wit
messed the experiments, thinks they are all
explainable on the theory that Bishop is
guided by the unconscious movements of the
hand that is touching him. Instead of be-
ing called mind reading it should be
styled muscle reading"

Henry Georges land theories get cold COM
fort from Archbishop Corrigan, who in a re-
cent pastoral letter explicitly condems the
doctrine that there can be no private owner
ship of land as contrary to reason, common
sense and the teachings of Leo XIII in the
encyclical Quod dpostolici muneris, which he
quotes at length. This letter is likely to ma
terially diminish the number of Mr.. George
Catholic followers, and will doubtless with
draw Father McGlynn from doing any more
service to his cause.

II. ADAMS AS A DIPLOMAT.
SPRINGFIELD Renubliean.

When Mr.. Adams was chosen by Abraham
Lincoln as our minister to Great Britain, the
country realized the full value of that sturdy
independence of character which had stood
John Adams in good stead amid the willy de-
ceits of the court of Louis XVI, when
America first sent abroad the minister of the
states newly declared independent. John
Adams, however, encountered sympathy.
Charles Francis Adams encountered univer-
sal prejudice, indifference and contempt Then
he put to his country's use the full value of a
thoroughly trained scholar and of the per-
fectly self-controlled man. He knew the
people whom he represented and whether he
heard by the last steamer news of cheer or
of disaster or heard nothing at all, he knew
the cause of freedom must triumph in the
end. He brooked no detraction from his
place of the minister of all the United
States at the court Of st. James. He kept
her maJeSty'S government informed of its
full obligations and of the Vaccinations to
evade them, and when at length the British
government allowed a new confederate
cruiser to escape from its ports, it could not
plead ignorance of the vessels true charac-
ter. He so bore himself before that powerful
class called society that he won Respect.
where disdain and indifference environed
him. When his own country had been plac-
ed in the wrong by the act of an overzealous
naval officer he was not blinded to the pro-
priety OF retracement of steps. This was
the occasion when the queen by her own
hand modified the heat of Lord Russell's dis
patch and left open the door of honorable re-
treat for our government.

This country is on the eve of a tenn
perance struggle on broader lines and
of deeper significance than it has ever
known. All the previous eras of con-
fiict, the movements under various
auspices and with varied results, have
been but the skirmish line engage
ments. The growing power of the
liquor interests as a political factor
has aroused the hitherto conservative
elements, opposed to intemperance in
theory but not interested actively in
it's suppression or the mitigation of its
evils, and the struggle is no longer one
involving purely moral and personal
considerations. The recent anti-saloon
convention at Chicago, where repre-.
sentatives. of great political organiza.
tions took stand far in advance OF
any previous positions as party
marks the beginning of a struggle
beside which, in the next ten years, all
minor differences will sink out oil
sight.
The temperance issue is no longer
simply whether liquor-selling shall
receive the sanction of law and be
tolerated as in one sense a legitimate
business; but whether the men and the
capital engaged in the business shall
dominate the law-making power, shall
control legislation and shape it te
their purposes.

Hardly Worth the Time.

Yankton Press: 1t may not be
worth the time, but the Press and Da-
kotaian feels called upon to character
ize as a falsehood the statement of the
Bismarck Tribune that the paper had
waged warfare upon every governor
Dakota has had for twenty-five years.
1t has waged warfare upon Governor
Ordway and has proven corruption up
on him by evidence which neither
Ordway nor his apologist, the Tribune,
can controvert. 1t has criticised the
acts of Governor Pierce and his affilia-
tion with an organization of corrupt
men brought together under Ordway's
jurisdiction and held intact by his sue
cessor. These are the instances in
which it pleads guilty and in none
others.

cat the number OF people who borrow

their reading without paying for it.
There are epeople who daily absorb the
news, and contribute nothing to main
tain the paper that furnishes it, This
is hardly fair to anybody, and is many
times very unpleasant to the people
from whom they borrow-for a per-
sistent borrower, whether it be of
chewing tobacco, newspapers, small
change OF what not, isn't likely to be
always particularly when he
hasn't anything with which to return
the favor. You folks who pay good
money and work long hours to get out
such a paper, have the right to expect
that people who want to read it will
help bear the expense Of getting ii

Blaine's Choice,

New York World: Senator William
B. Allison, who made such an attack
upon President Cleveland, the other
day, in the Republican state conven-
tion in Iowa, on account Of the pocket
ing Of the surplus resolution, is one OF
the most conservative of the republi-
can senators. His habits and methods
are the very reverse of sensational.
The point made by Mr.. Allison, that
the president exceeded his powers more
than il he had actually vetoed the re-
solution, is one that will have great eff
feet in the west. Mr. Allison insisted
that the president deliberately thwarted
the will Of congress by unjustitiable
means, for if he had used his full
power of tile veto, that congress
would have passed the resolution over
his head within five minutes. None Of
the western democrats supported the
