Agricultural Department bill, which
passed the Senate Friday, provides
that the Department of Agriculture
shall be an executive department I'M

Secretary of Agriculture. From March
4, 1889, the Secretary OF Agriculture
will be a member of the Cabinet and
will be in position to see that the
agricultural interests of the country
are given proper consideration and
protected.
This has been long-felt want, and
the passage OF the bill was nothing
more than what was due the farming

the door of the Cabinet, should be

The republicans Tariff bill was laid
before the Finance Committee of the
Senate Tuesday. 1t IS practically a
tobacco and sugar bill, with only
changes in detailin the tariff schedules.
These seem to have been readjusted
with II view OF giving the protected
monopolists just what they have asked
for. The bill abolishes the entire tax
on tobacco and cuts down the tax on
sugar 80 per cent. Ten millions are
to be saved from the tax on alcohol
used in the arts and five millions from
various articles placed on the free list.
The New York Herald says:
The wage Garner and the man with
a small income will find in it very little

him to pay heavily for the necessaries
of life, but puts few luxuries within
easy reach. Alcohol and tobacco may
be had at the minimum rate @s for
the articles of daily consumption few
changes are made, and he must pay
the old prices.

The people Of Radford will not look

of their country than they receive
credit for. Day after day and week
after week they are telling of its adj
vantages of soil, climate and minerals
and of its progress. The facts which
they give are widely published in 9th

The Rejected Treaty.

WASHINGTON, September 22.-The
State Department refuses to make
public Minister DeenbY's cablegram
ammo lncing the rejection of the Chi
nese treaty, because the dispatch is in
CIPHER, and to give it out in full or in
part would enable the telegraph peo-
Pile to obtain a clue te the cipher sys-
tenn in use between Minister DENLY
and the Secretary, and might lead to
the discovery of many important
State secrets Nothing is feared to
any extent from the end of the cable
located in this country, for that is en-
tirely within the legal jurisdiction OF
this Government, and in case the Sc
cret should get out through the agency
Of the cable officials here, they would
be liable to suit and heavy punish
ment. But, as it is expressed at the
State Department, there are always
two ends to cable, and the people al
the other end are the ones to fear
they being out of jurisdiction.
The Star this evening has the fol-
lowing:
"All the members of Congress about
the Capitol to-day are talking Of
'Cleveland's luck They all look up
on the rejection of the treaty by China
considering all that has been done or

The bringinging in and passage OF the

be all right is regarded as the most
astonishing luck. The California mem

Why Organs Are Discordant.

A well known organist in Brooklyn says that he is sometimes blamed for using bad combinations when the fault lies wholly in the atmosphere Organ pipes are affected by cold and heat, and this organist says that he has known the pitch of certain stop to alter three-fourths of 0 tone in few hours. "Often," he says, Ion Saturday night or early on Sunday morning when rehearse find the instrument in perfect tune. but as soon as the furnaces are stoked up and 0 big audience assemblies the thermometer rises and the pitch of some of my pipes rises with it. Commonly, the organ builder allows for this, and as the reeds seldom change he pitches them trife high in order to allow for atmospheric sharping of the other stops; but how if the temperature is low and the other stops don't change9 Then, you see, you've got discord and you have to shut off the reeds altogether.
 "Dampness and other changes affect organs, too, and it is distressing when you are play ing smoothly to have one of the notes cipher It brings you up with round turn and you have to stop and disengage the obstinate key. Organ playing is not all play. I've seen Dudley Buck, while directing performance in Steinway hall, writhe when the organ struck in and signal to the organist to stop playing, for the heat created by the audience and the gaslight had thrown some of the pipes entirely off, and the result was Q horrible discord. n-Brooklyn Eagle.

WDERLY ANDTHE KNIGHTS.

The reelection of MT Powderly to the leadership of the knights of labor with in creased powers and consequent larger re- responsibilities marks distinct era in the history of organized labor in America. His triumph over the discordant elements inthe order and the entire concession of all the demands he made op the organization, practically places the future of the knights in MT Powderly's hands.
 The changes in the constitution and laws made by the general assembly are ex tremely radical. One of the most impor- members of the general executive board from six to four, and yesting the general master workman with the virtual power of appointment. The general master work man is empowered to nominate to the gen. eral assembly eight persons as members of the board, and from that number the as- sembly chooses four. The general master workman has the power to suspend mem bers of this board 50 that the whole govern ment of the organization is practically given to one man vested with autocratic power. The wisdom of this great centra lization of power can be demonstrated only by experience, and knights all over the land will no doubt be willing to give fair trial to the reforms proposed by their lea der MT Powderly has shown himself a man of consummate tact, supreme conser- vatism and exceptional wisdom, and jud ged on the lines of the past he may be safely entrusted with the great powers now attached to his position.
 Rightly managed, with accumula:e lexpt- rience, with the mistakes of the past behind them, the knights of labor, weakened though they be by heavy losses of member ship, should be able to exert still very wide and salutary influence, and take a leading place among labor organizations. There can be no doubt that the best in- terests of labor lie along the line of intelli- gent and wisely managed organization. Nothing can be more potent for the cult;- vation of the wage-e arner, for the develop ment of his moral and intellectual charac- ter and the elevation of his manhood, for the knowledge. and maintenance of his personal rights and the amelioration of his condition than the lodge room when wise counsels prevail there. The issue be- tween capital and labor will be with us for years to come, and will be as it is now one of the most interesting and complex so- cial problems that press for settlement. Any influence that prepares the industrial classes to grapple intelligently and con servatively with the solution of this great problem should be encouraged by those who have at heart the highest and best in terests of the nation.
 The progress of the order under the new rules will be watched with interest, and if at the next convention of the general assembly MT Powderly can report good results it will be the greatest boom that has yet overtakep organized laborin this or any other country.
