MR.. POWDERLl.

We call attention to Mr. Powderly' s
remarks In the convention of knights of
Labor a, Indianapolis.
All clear minded Americans go for a
free thought and popular representa-
ton, so that Government shall be for the
peopie and officers OF the Government
shall be the Trustees" Of power vest
ed in them temporarily.
But Mr.. Powderly says otherwise. In
pleading for a strong cne-man power,
which, interpreted, means dictatorship
in the order, Mr.. Powderly states that
his efforts in behalf of the Knights have
been constantly thwarted by members of
the Executive Board, who possess an
equal power with himself, and who, he
claims, have used that power to the in
Jury of the Knights as a body
70: the purpose Of weakening his
own influence. 1t is not necessary to
read between the lines TO see that
MI Powderly's plea is a plea for Pow
derly, and that he is willing and anxious
TO be the dictator. MI Powderly is
largely responsible for the disasters
which have overtaken the order Of which
he was once the actual and is now the
nominal head. and the members are not
likely TO place the organization under his
absolute control again.
1t is safe TO say that any intelligent
body Of Americans understand the funda-
mental principles, and that we know very
well the absurdily Of one-man power.

The rapid growth Of cotton manufac-
turing in the South shows that the pro
tected home market is too narrow for us
The advance in the exports Of cotton
goods indicates that our manufacturers
are awakening to the advantage to be
gained from the command of free raw
materials. This advantage in their par
ticular line, has not been improved so
much as it might have been, because a
long training in the school Of protection
has concentrated their attention upon the
home market, and they have been chiefly
anxious TO maintain that.

Colonel O'Ferrall of the Seventh dis
tric,. who carried his colors so yictori-
ously through the recent cyclone, called
on the TIMES yesterday
He thinks that the cause of the Demo
cratic defeat was not the fault of the
tariff issue, but the preyiousness of it.
He cited his experience in canyassing the
whole State several times, beginning with
1888 and that he found the simple and
direct statement Of tax reduction would
always find converts.
In his own district he succeeded in
giving his constituents the Campaign
of education" by constantly and earn
estly addressing the people on the main
question. As an illustration of the pro-
gressiye force of tariff reform the Colonel
says that all the peoplein his district en-
gagged in the tanning and leather business
were solid for him because he explained
that taking the duty of hides enabled
American tanners TO compete success
fully with foreign leather and beat II
out of the market.
Colonel O'Ferrall is satisfied that the
defeat of Cleveland cannot stop the
growth OF the idea that he put forward,
and that the Democracy as the only
psrty OF true American principles, is
still "unterrified," and can never be
beaten except by mistake.

1t is generally conceded that Fisher
has been defeated in the Tenth Michigan
district, and that De Haven, Republican,
has been elected over Thompson in the
first California. To overcome this the
Democrats would have TO receive the
certificates for all the doubtful districts
in the South. This would certainly be
regarded with suspicion by the country
at large Altogether it seems likely that
the Democrats will not attempt to or
ganize the House. Some of our best
men concede a Republican majority.

OUR CHIEF MAGISTRATE.

The Herald thinks that six years
term for the presidency would remedy a
grea, many evils. Among the evils are
the excitement and uncertainty that al
most paralyze business and cost the work
of the country hundreds of millions.
The point is well taken and six years
would be good term, but eight years
would I've better with the provision that
there is not to be any second term. AS
soon as the presidential office is put on
the same high plane as the Supreme
Cour, and totally separated from the in
fuences OF mob politics, the effect will
be to put the President on his
dignity and honor just as the
Supreme Court justices are. The first
thing the incoming President gets hold
OF is the idea of second term, and hence
this exalted office is set up at auction to
monopolists With sll respect to Mr..
Cleveland, we still know that he coquett-
ed little, and accepted the chance of re-
after he had declined 1t In a
certain way.
A President of the United States should
be placed so high in popular respect that
he cannot use his influence for second
term. The moment be is candidate for
, second term the high Office of Chief
Magistrate is brought down to political
power in ring of office seekers and POI
i,ical adventures.

Here is an idea on the subject that
touches the farmer.
Now it is the horny handed farmers
who are charged with defeating tariff
reform by voting "agin slavery and the
rebellion" and in favor Of dollar wool, ."

past. Well, the average bucolic is some

might be counted by a very small INA
iority and four other States might give

NEw STATEs.-The people at large who
have interest beyond those OF the prJfes-

about the immediate party consequences
Of admitting a batch of new States.
These are times OF change. Since the
election Of 1886 the Territory OF Wash
ington has shifted from the Democratic
to the Republican column. The appear
ance of a Republican delegate from
Washington in the Fifty firsi Congress
will count as one potent reason why that
Territory should be welcomed TO the
sisterhood. But possible events in the
next four years may cause political
revolution, from which Washington will
not be exempt. No party, however in
