THEY'RE All RTGRT.

Keep on your linen, brethren; the
Knights Of Labor are not going to the
demnition bow-wows; not going to fly
like faulty wheel into numberless
fragments; not going to eternal smash
like Kansas City cable car that has
lost its grip on the down grade. Not
this time.
There were plenty to predict such a
direful fate-prophets of evil. There
are always plenty of such. Withinth
order itself they were not wanting.
Barry, sort of MephiseoOhe was
there, but he has been kicked out sans
ceremony. He is a hereto who seems
bent on getting up a Little church
around the corner" Let him.
A great many other factious fellows,
dead branches have been Topped OF or
fell away. So much the better. The
pruning will help the tree.
Powderly's management has been
satisfactory to the great body of
Knights who are holding up his hands
manfullY. When necessary to take the
floor and confront his enemies in the
order, as he did yesterday, he lays about
him in laundering fashion and over
whelms his traducers. Editor Detwiler
of Chicago feels in his bones the truth
of this remark.
There was scarcity of money, but
money is coming in and an abundance
is pledged. Powderly will be chosen
again as master workman, with power
to select his own cabinet. His author
ity will therefore be supreme, which
auguTs we'll for the success of the or
der.
There has been laundering in plenty.
When was there not? But it is through
blunders, mistakes, errors, tumbling
into pitfalls and scrambling out again,
that men learn how to walk straight
and do somewhat. Sense comes Of the
hard knocks the knights have encoun-
tered in the past few years, good hard
sense, that will stand them in hand in
future battles.
They have accuse of being and know
what they want. Just how to get it is
the question. There may be disputes,
contradictions, wranglings. quarrels,
fiare-ups, and sheol to pay generally,
but that is fate common to govern
ments the best, and families the best
regulated.
From chaos to order they go, in spite
of jeremiads and prophecies of evil,
Look out for them, ye carpers and
critics, ye Sadducees and Pharisees
They are coming, Father Abraham,
twenty thousand strong.

THE STRUGGLE
Between L&ngsiEeR and the Druggists Ended
At Last--The Cases Concluded 1e-day.

Between LangelHer and the DTuggints Rnded
at Last--The Cases Concluded To-day.
If competent hand were present, he
could find In the silly case between
LaDgellier and the druggists of this
city, in progress for three days before
the probate court, ample material for q
rafting, rellickinG farce in prologue
and Ave acts.
We called attention Saturday to the
pestiferous interference of the crank
in the affairs Of the drug men who
were seeking to obtain q renewal Of
their permits. All of Monday and until
IL a. m. Tuesday ne held the court
and the applicants at bay, urging OBJ
lection after objection in each case.
One maDBold liquor foEsea sickness
''and now you know, judge, man or
woman in Emporia could not have sea-
sickness"
Yes answered the druggist, ''she
could. This woman was made sea
sick by riding on the cars from Wich-
tia to EmpOria and knew just what
would stop it."
Very well" says Langellier, but
here is an affidavit signed IF. A. Matte

bought no liquor from this druggist"
and SO it went, hour after hour until
every body's patience was used up.
This morning he had John Atyeo
subpoenaed to testify that he had pur-
chased liquor at Hainers drug store
without making the usual at
fidavit. When put on the stand Mr..
Atyeo denied the soft impeachment
So Langeilier was foiled again.
The remarkable thing about it all is
the cooIness and cheeky effrontery
with VIII ich the crank put questions %
the drrgmen, all of whom detest
him, and urged objections to the court.
Jack the Ripper was not more hard
ened, deliberate and self possessed in
his butcheries.
The scornful looks and hot shot from
the eyes of the harried apothecaries
had no perceptible effect on him.
They rolled like bird shot from the
hide of rhinocerous. while he, calm
and unrufled, smiled upon his adver-
saries, and >chuckled inwardly as he
enjoyed with ghoulish glee the worry
and harassment they were undergo
ing.
The Judge has the cases all under
advisement now, and will issue per-
mits in day or two to probably al
who have asked for them, which in

CIVIL sERYLCF.

Harrison is committed, both by his
party's platform and by his letter Of ac-
ceptance, to "a rigid enforcement Of
the civil service law. The first question
that arises is, what will be considered
"rigid enforcement" Already we
hear on every side that the federal Of
fees are filed with ex-convicts. political
rogues, incompetents, ballot bOx-stuf-
fers and other extremely Objectionable
sort OF fellows. This is tbs cry Of the
republican press which elamors for q
clean sweep. As will be seen else
where il this issue of The NEWS SEN
atOr Ingalls, is emphatic in demanding
that every mothers son of them
shall be made to go, and she assurance
is given Kansas republicans that he
will do all in his power to weed the
public service of every democratic OH
cIal in the state.
This, then. appears to be the sense
in which the republican press
and Senator ingalls,, together with
many others understand rigid enforce
ment," or what the vitriolic senator
scornfully terms refined. ad.
vanced civil service reform" Fire
them, kick them all out
But will General Harrison, who is said
to be a very determined man, take that
view of it? How can he do so without
displaying utter contempt, not for civil
service alone, but for his party's en-
dorsement of it few months ago, and
his own personal promise to see that II
be ''rigidly enforced"
There will be far more Office seekers
than offices. The pressure on him will
be as great as on Cleveland. The lat.
ter withstOod his party and Disguised
| many of those who felt themselves en-
titled to substantial reward for theiI
services to the party. There are bound
to be some changes, some removals OF
democrats. That is unavoidable. But
to what extent will they be permitted
Assuming that General Harrison viii
try to live up to the pledges which he
himself has given, as well as to those
of his party, and that he has the back
bone and firmnesS to oppose the hun.
CRY clamors of the thousands Of once
seekers that will besiege him, then we
have right to conclude that the ad.
vice of Senator Ingalls, and other such
clean sweepers will not prevail, and
that civil service will be something
more than a mockery, delusion and 8
snare.
