THE DEPUTY MARSHAL.

There was a time when United
States Deputy Marshal at an election
poll was the most odious object imagin-
able to the average Democratic poll.
tician. The presence of such officials
at voting place constituted, in the
opinion of no small number of people,
a fragrant interference on the part of
the General Government with the free
dom of popular suffrage; aud one of the
staple shibboleths of the Democratic
stump.speaker was that the Federal
marshals "must go"
There is no denying the fact that
this officer frequently made himself
unnecessarily disagreeable, and was the
occasion of many sangunary rum
pusses. Especially unpopular and
obnoxious was the deputy marshal, be-
cause of the accepted theory that he
was invariably the creature of partisan
United States Marshal, and that the
United States Marshal was bat the
creature Of partisan administration,
whose special mission was to bulldoze
and intimidate Democratic voters.
There have been times and occasions
when appearances indicated that this
theory had partial foundation In fact,
but with the close of the stormy vicls-
situdes In our political history, out of
which the deputy marshal and super
visor grew, came a marked amellora-
tion of old. time prejudices, and of later
years 1t Is only now and then that these
officials have been charged with a
grossly offensive or oppressive exercise
of their duties.
The present, moreover, Is Demo
cratic Administration, having the ap-
pointment of deputy marshals in It's
own hands, and of course our Demo
cratic friends are not going to raise any
fuss about it. II makes a wonderful

DONE AND LEFT UNDONE.

The National Assembly of the
Knights of Labor has finished its work,
and the inquiry is reasonable, What
did it accomplish? and, not less i'm
portant to know, What did it leave un-
doneI
Not much space is needed to answer
the first of these questions. The AS
sembly elected general officers of the
order for the next two years 1t divided
the work of the secretary-treasurer
hitherto performed by one person; it
remanded to the local assemblies for
adjudication several thousand appeals
on grievances, and it passed resolutions
demanding that colored labor receive
the same pay as white for equal work.
Beyond these acts the Assembly has
little to show for its session Of nearly
three weeks.
In what 1t left undone there is reason
for criticism, and for apprehension of
troubles to come. The Assembly did
not pledge the order to the suppress
sion of violence in the conduct of
strikes. 1t did not take from district
assemblies the authority to command
strikes, Independent of the General
Executive Board, and it thereby left
the way open for a repetition of the
disorders experienc d last spring,
when the mandates of Mr.. Powderly
were detied. 1t also left with district
assemblies authority to proclaim boy
colts, Notwithstanding the fact that in
the past this discretion has been often
tyrannically exercised, and made the
instrument of malice. 1t did nothing to
strengthen fraternal relations between
knights of Labor and Trades Unions.
1t gave no assurance that in protecting
the interests of its members the public
welfare would not be neellessly in
jured II failed to declare itselfagainst
blockades Of inter state commerce, for
grievances purely local, and it gave no
promises that will tend to restore that
business tranquility which the actions
of its subordinate assemblies have so
disastrously disturbed.
BY what it neglected to do, more
than by what 1t did, the National AS
sembly of the Knights may be fairly
Judged to have come far short Of what
the public had right to expect. The
way is left as clear as 1t was before for
injudicious, irresponsible men to bring
confusion and incalculable loss upon
the business interests of the country.
The Assembly made no pledges that its
executive officers would exercise re.
pressing authority in such emergencies.
The inevitable effect upon the public
mind will be to confirm distrust hith.
erto entertained as to the purposes OF
the organization.

"Criticism seems to vary greatly In the

to q Missouri Republican reporter recently.
SIN Cincinnati the critics emphasized their

High art suggests that possibly l might

GENERAL AND cRrrrouLAR.

Colonel Kate Field always carries In her
travelling bag a bottle OF the best brandy,
and during her recent lecture tour in Iowa
she exhausted IT, Ofcourse brandy is hard
TO get IN an Iowa town, but the Colonel
never thought about that, SO she went to
the drug store and boldly asked for what
she wanted
ave haven't any brandy, ma'am," said
the clerk, "but we've got some Bloom of
Youth for the complexion"
"That reminds me-" replied the Colonel,
with witherlng sarcasm, "of the time went
TO n store and asked the clerk for a hustle
and he told me they didn't sell bustles, but
he could let me have a bale of hay"
Excuse me, ma'am," said the abashod
clerk, "but just taste IT,"
"What do want to load myself up with
white lead and other deadly chemicals
for" she asked, angrily.
"That's all right, ma'am, only taste IT,"
he urged.
She did so under protest
"What is it?" she asked, making as ugly
face as her graceful features would per-
init.
"Pure Iowa brandy, ma'am," he an
swered, proudly.
"Oh, is itY Well you Just give me some
Of that genuine white lead complexion
lotion. 1t may be little more deadly in
its effects, but II can't taste half so bad.

didn't get in good humor until II fr lend
