REASON AND THEN STRIKE.
Master Workman PnWderly on the
Anarchistic Element.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 6.-General Master
Workman Powderly, speaking last evening
of the recent Indianapolis convention, said
"We are wedding out the troublesome ele-
ments. For some time there has been an
Anarchistic element in the order. Those
fellows who are at war with all of our in
stitutions feel perfectly happy when they
get into the order and succeed in stirring up
quarrels. We have no room for any kind Of
Anarchists In the country: They have
opposed me, and it has simply been Ques-
ti0n whether they should 90 or 1. So lar |
have come out ahead. The knights of
Labor, 1t is true, have declined In member
ship. Such organizations have their ebb. and
flow, But now we are. prosperous and the
membership Is growing. We are not opposed
to strikes, but believe In reason before
strikes, not strikes and reason afterward.
Sometimes we are compelled to strike, but it
is often better to bear. the ills we have than
fly to Others that we know not of. What we
want is cooperation all around. There is no
conflict between the Knights and the trades
union. We can work together in regard to
legislation, in securing new laws, or the re-
peal of Objectionable laws. There is more
necessity at present for the repeal of bad
laws than there is for the enactment Of new
laws"

WASHINGTON, Dec. Gin theI Senate to-
day statement from the director of the
mint in response to Senator Stewards reso-
luton of last session as to the amount of sill
yer bullion offered monthly to the govern
ment since 1879, was presented and ordered
printed.
A communication from the Secretary of
State with certified copy of the final ascer-
tainment of presidential electors in Kansas,
was presented. The presiding officer asked
the opinion of the Senate, this being an en-
tirely new proceeding, as to the disposition
to be made Of the papers-whether they
should be entered on the journal or
ate. He added that similar ' certifi. pdd
Gates from the State of Maryland, North
Carolina and Georgia had been also transmit.
ted by the Secretary of State.
Alter some suggestions the provision OF
the law OF February, 1887, was read, and
found to require the Secretary of State to
transmit copies of such certificates to the
two houses of Congress.
Mr.. Sherman moved to refer the papers to
the committee on privileges and elections,
and called attention to the novelty of the
proceeding. He txpressed the opinion that
the proceeding, ii not an infringement of the
Constitution, was extra-constitutional. The
Constitution plainly required each state to
provide under its own laws for the election
of presidential electors, and that their action
should be certified to the President of the
Senate. He doubted whether Congress had
any authority to require States to send certi-
fcates to the Secretary OF State
After further discussion, the papers were
referred to the committee on privileges and
elections.
