The old proverb says that when
"Greek meets Greek then comes the tug
Of war;" and 1t has always been accept
ed as proving the powers OF the Greek
upon the tented field. 1t remains for
late cable advices to prove that even In
a treasury steal the modern Greek lays
over an American treasurer Of the demo-
cratic persuasion in a way to make
Agamemnon howl. That Athens clerk
who made away with 100000 francs at
one haul would have been che envy and
admiration of his democratic confreres
In America. He was not appreciated
in his native oity. He has been arrested.
He should have come over into Ken
lucky last year and given Tate points.

BEHIND THE TIMES.
Pope Leo Opposes a Free Press and
Universal Suffrage.

The Italian head of the Roman
Catholic church is evidently badly
informed regarding the inevitable
tendency of the times. A report
says that upon the occasion of visit
of "Pllgrlms" "he lamented the
ominons revolutionary spirit fer
mentlng in the many states, and said
he was preparing two encyclicals
dealing with Socialism, the license
of the press and the great danger of
universal suffrage, which he consid-
cred terribly menacing."
When he reads the Constitution
Of the United States he will find that
a free press, the right of free speech
and free assomblage, as well as uni
versal suffrage, are part of the fund
amontal laws Of the United States.
After all, it may not have been such
a bad idea Of President Cleveland to
send the old man copy of the Con-
stitution. 1t will, no doubt, be in
teresting reading, provided its exam
inatlon is not confined to the bind
ing.
Socialism will not suffer by reason
of encyclicals from Rome; and if the
Pope will think the matter over, he
will find that the Constitution of the
United States, especially where it
makes the guarantees mentioned is
really opening the way for political
reform in that line.

OUR BALLOT SYSTEM,

The Knights of Labor are but shadow
of what they might be were their Dis
trict and General Assemblies elected upon
principles OF equity instead of robbery
robbery of the minorities of their equit-
able share of voice and management.
The locals elect district delegates, who
in turn elect general delegates who choose
an executive board-the majority vote
taking all representation at every step.
If the majority in each case numbers
two-thirds, mathematically Speaking, an
action of the Executive Board represents
but little less than one-ffth of the
whole body of members. AS a result,
rings, corruptions, dissensions and in the
end stagnation or death. The energies of
the Knights of Labor are exhausted in
internal strife-just what the enemy
desires.
In practical politics, because of conven-
tions, primaries and caucusing, in addi-
ton to districts and wards, still greater
Misrepresentation is perpetrated, Upon
this rock hundreds of parties and assocla-
tions have been wrecked or grounded
apd the X. of l.. is neither the first or
last. The great republic itself was nearly
wrecked in 1868 because of the minori.
ties being deprived of their rights and It
is drifting towards destruction again.
To avoid it, will require patriotism and
life sacrifice as terrible as unnecessary.
When the minorities and majorities
have equal representation and voice, the
majority rule if they also have the right
of veto upon the acts of their representa-
tives. Otherwise, as under the present
system, the 80 called majority rule is act
ually "ring- rule" of the very worst and
rascally minority.
The ballot, as it is, affords little pro-
lection to the toiler, but if used with a
knowledge that instead of being breech-
loading rifle, suitable to the nineteenth
century, it is clumsy club scarcely fit
for service, except by the exercise of per
sistence and great determination, more
in place beside the wooden plow and OK
cart than the steam engine and telegraph,
a real effective weapon could be obtained
such as Sir John Lubbock, John Stuart
Mill, Sir William Wallace. James A.
Garfield and many others have advocated
and in various organizations made ex-
periments with.
The labor organizations of the United
States are behind those of England and
Europe in the practice of proportional
representation. Our republic is likely to
be behind England in the giving to the
people real ballot as she was in giving
the chattel slave his freedom. and is in
the establishment of the postal telegraph,
postal banks and the postal express. -

RUSSIAN NlHlLISTS.

One of the leading German news
papers reports another great plot to
send the Gar of all the Russias to
meet his father who 50 suddenly took
his depal ture from his friends at the
urgent invitation of the Nihllists.
The Gar intended to have a season
of pleasure at st. Petersburg, but
now all that is changed, and he will
crawl into his hole at Gatchina as
fast as possible. number of prom
inent persons, including army Off
GERS, have been arrested on suspicion
of wishing to serve their country in
the manner indicated. The Gar
objects to sudden death in his case,
though he shows quite prediction
for it in the cases of some Of his
countrymen.

THE. E.CIGARMAKERS WINNING

The threatened general strike OF
Union clgarmakers in New York
may after all be averted. Several
large shops have already made peace
with the Union and announced their
intention Of running Union shops.
Public opinion is against the re-
introduction of the filthy tenement
house system, and the Union Label,
with It's guarantee Of clean Union
shop work, has undoubtedly done
much toward influencing the bosses
to stop and think before they enter
upon course that may ruin them
financially.

THE CONDUCTORS SCHEME.
They Want Government Control aud
Protection.

AS reported in the daily press,
Representative Cummings of New
York, last Tuesday introduced in the
House a bill providing for the licens-
ing of railway conductors. The bill
is the one recommended by the Ma.
honal Association of Railway Con-
ductors at their recent convention.
1t prohibits the employment by rail
way companies of conductors unless
they shall first be examined and pro-
cure q license from the Examining
board created by the bill. This
board is to be under the control of
the Treasury Department, aud is to
consist of chief examiner and sew
eral assistant examiners, each to be
selected for his knowledge, skill and
practical experience in railway train
service. The chief examiner is to
have salary of IS. 500 and the as
sistants s., 500. The board is to
meet at Washington once a year
and, with the aid of the Secretary of
the Treasury, map out the work for
the examiners. The board will also
have power to revoke the licenses of
conductors who violate the oatn
which they must take when receiving
them. Thus even the most con.
scrvative of labor unions are showing
Il tendency toward collectiyism with
out knowing the drift of their efforts.
Socialists look on and mark time.

MASONIC CONVENTION

The Bricklayers and Mason's In
ternatlonal Union held its twenty
second annual convention at Boston
this week, nearly 800 delegates being
present. The local unions in other
cities can learn something valuable
from the Bostonians. They have a

bottom of this truth? Is there to be
no change?
Are "the law of supply" inven-
ton and science, monopoly and COM
petition, capital and legislation al
ways to be the enemies of those who
toll? Will the workers always be
ignorant enough and stupid enough
to give their earnings for the useless !?
Will they support millions of soldiers
to kill the sons of other working
men? Will they always build tenn
pies for ghosts and phantoms, and
live in huts and dens for themselves =?
Will they forever allow parasites
with crowns, and vampires with
mitres, to live upon their blood i?
Will they remain the slaves of the
beggars they support? Will honest
men stop taking off their hats to
successful frauds? Will industry, in
the presence of crowned idleness for
ever fall upon its knees, and will the
lips unstained by lies forever kiss
the robed imposter's hand? Will
they understand that beggars cannot
be generous, and that every healthy
man must have the right to earn the
right to live? Will they finally say
that the man who has had equal
privileges with all others has no right
to complain, or will they follow the
example that has been set by their
oppressors? Will they learn that
force, to succeed, must have thought
behind it, and that anything done,
in order that 1t may endure, must
