LOOKS FORWARD WITH HOPE
After the Most DIscouraging Year In
His Experience.
The Annual Report of the Leader of
the knights.
Secretary Lltchman Tenders His
Resignation with His Report.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1.-Two re-
ports were read before the Knights Of Labor
today from General Master Workman Pow
derly and ex-Secretary Litchman. Powder
ly's report took two hours and Litchman's
an hour and twenty minutes Mr.. Powder
ly told the newspaper men he had copies Of
his address in the package he carried in his
hand. Being asked If he would distribute
the copies he replied II can but won't"
His address is detailed review Of the past
two years of his administration and with the
secretary's report was given out this af-
ternoon. The Master Workman says the
last year has been the most discouraging in
the 10 years existence of the Knights. The
falling off in membership he attributes to the
circulation Of false reports by internal enc
mics, the entering upon unwise strikes,
against the laws and principles of the order,
and the recent political struggle. He looks
forward with hope, and urges all the Knights
to inform themselves fully in regard to the
great questions of finance, land and trans
portation, which are before the people for
discussion and solution so that, as Knights,
they may force the campaign OF 1892 to be
fought out against those who seek to rule
through power which comes from banking,
railway and land mon0polies. He advocates
tHC AUItuiuS VI hoocuiDllco lOI tuuCdt-
ing the younger working people on these
questions and Of equal pay for equal work
for women, and more eq ial division OF the
wealth produced by labor. He denounceS
gambling in money, land, railways and the
very food which is withheld from the mouths
of millions at the sound of the stock brokers'
ticker" Powderly comes down heavily on
the so-called provisional committee organ
lied Tor the purpose of purifying the order"
He considers them enemies OF the order and
designing knaves and says that 10 mawkish
sentiment should prevent their expulsion.
He has no feeling against trades unions,
and says their aims and those OF the
knights, In the main, are one, but he is Bit
terly opposed TO the International Working
mems Association which, he asserts, has
repeatedly tried TO elect its trusted agents as
general officers Of the the Knights of Labor.
One recentimember Of the Knights executive
board, Powdelly intimates, was strongly in
sympathy with, If not member Of the OPP
posing organization.
Mr.. Litchman, in his report, reviews his
term and explains certain acts for which he
has been criticized. He makes various rec
concentrations, among them that the general
executive board be reduced to five. Litch-
man also hands in his resignation.
There was talk this afternoon of calling
upon Gen. Harrison, but resolution was
adopted THAT we consider it would be very
impolite and ill-advised action for any body
Of men from this convention to meet or wait
on, as Knights of Labor, the President
elect" Last year, similar action was taken
at Minneapolis in regard to President
Cleveland who was there at the time.

STEALING THE HOUSE.
How the Republicans Might Be
Counted Into the Minority.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia widely spread
opinion prevails in Washington tonight that
an attempt is contemplated to steal the or
ganization of the next House of Representa-
tives for the Democratic party by means of
the extraordinary and irresponsible powers
which existing laws repose in the Clerk of
the House. Section 81 of the Revised Stat
utes provides as follows
Before the first meeting of each Congress the
Clerk of the next preceding House of Representa-
tiyes shall make a roll of the Representatives
elect and place thereon the names Of those per
show that they were regularly elected in accord
ance with the laws Of their States respectively or
the laws of the United States.
The peculiar wording of this section has
more than once been construed by Dem
ocratic clerk as constituting him the sole
Judge whether member has been regular
ly elected" according to the laws of his
own State or of the United States. The op-
tion presumed to be thus given has been
taken advantage of to limited extent in
past Congresses, but never in SO sweep
contemplation by the present holding-over
clerk, John b. Clark, Of Missouri
The tabulated statements of members be-
lieved to have been regularly elected" ac-
cording to official information received,
which the only Washington morning news
paper has been publishing for the last few
days, and which shows small probabl Q
Democratic majority, are understood to
have been furnished by the holding-over
clerk of the present Congress. The intent to
steal q Democratic majority is evidently
present in the figures given out. Whether
the Democrats, in the desperation of their
defeat, will have never enough to endeayor
to put the scheme into execution remains to
be seen. In any case, the dangerous
autocratic powers conferred by existing law
upon the holding-over clerk of the House Of
Representatives would seem to require in
slant revision.
