Mr.. Powderly has not yet called out the
knights of Labor employed on the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy railroad, but there is
reason to believe that he has agreed to do so
whenever the Locomotive Brotherhood shall
say the word. This is the same Mr.. Pow
derby who scarcely more than week ago
issued an address to the knights of Labor of
the country deprecating strikes and warn
ing the members Of the order to abstain from
themin the future. Yet here he is, before
the ink on his address is fairly dry, meditat-
ing the calling out Of men who have just got
to work after long period of loss and idle
ness consequent upon one of those eruptions
Of labor which Mr.. Powdery in his address
so eloquently condemns How much conf
dence will the Knights be likely to have in a
leader who so nullifies his profession by his
practice? How much regard are they likely
to pay to his solemn warnings? Not much.
we can be sure, but quite as much perhaps
as they deserve.

The st. John SIM believes that the present
year is to witness a large emigration from
Great Britain and some parts of the con-
tinent Of Europe into the Dominion. Indeed
the movement has already begun. Last
Saturday and Sunday the Allan steamers
landed no less than 1900 emigrants at Hall
fax. Among them were several fishermen
from Moray Firth, pioneers of an emigra-
ton movement which is taking place in that
vicinity, and generally along the east coast
of Scotland. If the prospects for settlement
in the eastern provinces are not satisfactory
the intention is to proceed to British Column
bia. The Sun also notes tendency among
the French Canadians who have emigrated
to the United States to return and engage in
agriculture.

The friends of Gen. Russell A. Alger of
Michigan, who wish to make him the Repub-
llcan candidate for the presidency, have or
ganized literary bureau in his behalf. The
first documents to issue from the bureau are
biography. accompanied by portrait and
sheet Of favorable notes from various
western papers, largely in Michigan. The
chances Of Gen. Alger's nomination are not
very brilliant; nevertheless he is man with
fine record, and many of the qualifications
needed to make a good presidential candi-
date and a good President.

[Machias Union.1
AS the time approaches for the meeting Of
the Republican State convention the question
of candidates for the governorship is being
considerably discussed. According to the
present outlook in this part of the political
field, it is safe to predict that Hon. III. b.
Cleaves, of Portland, will have the support
of the party in West Washington county.
Mr.. Cleayes has host of admirers among
the soldier element who will gladly rally
around his standard and give him a rousng
support in September. He is also deservedly
popular with the party generally. who have
not forgotten the valuable and efficient SER
vice he rendered the State during his admin
istraton as attorney general in the prosecu
tions of the suits against the railroad and
telegraph corporations who sought to defy
the people and shirk their part of the public
burden. Through his able effort in the case
the railroad and telegraph companies were
compelled to render annually in the form of
taxes nearly 100000 into the treasury of the
people.

The free and easy way in which the Tombs
in New York is managed is shown by the
fact that the other day condemned muir
derer was found unconscious in his cell, the
result of large dose of opium which he had
in some way procured and had taken
with suicidal intent. FATTY" Walsh,
the keeper of the prison whose appointment
gave rise to so much scandal, claimed that
the man was victim of nervous prostra-
ton, and even after quantity of opium had
been pumped from the prisoners stomach
FATTY" still insisted that the man was suf-
fering simply from mental shock.

The State Board of Health of Massachu-
sets has given oleomargarine quite boom.
The chemist whom the board employed to ex-
anime that article says the substances used
in its manufacture were found clearly and
not deleterious to health and that the popu-
lar prejudice against lis not well founded
1t would be interesting to know the circum-
stances under which the chemist made the
examination, whether he dropped in upon
the manufacturers unawares or whether
they were prepared for his coming and had
fixed things accordingly. The care that
would naturally be taken to have the in
gradients of oeomargarine that was to be
tested clean and wholesome might not be
extended to that which was simply to be put
upon the market
The Portland daily press., 1888-04-11

The decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the oleomai garine case is
practically decision that the Legislature of
a State may suppress the manufacture and
sale of anything that it deems deleterious to
the public health Having acknowledged that
such power resides in the State 1t is hardly
probable that the court will nullify it by de-
claring that if the deleterions article is i'm
ported it may be sold in spite of the State.

The Providence correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser, referring to the charges of
bribery made by the Providence Journal,
says they are greatly exaggerated. There
was probably some corruption in Warwick,
but that it was confined to the Republicans,
as the Journal intimates, is absurd. Several
of the accused parties threaten suits against
the Journal. Last year theiuse of money,
the correspondent declares, was much freer
and the evidence of corruption much clearer,
but the Providence Journal said nothing
about it, presumably because it contributed

UNITING UNITARIANS.
Triumphal Progress of a Party of
Eastern DiVineS

There arrived in st. Paul yesterday
delegation of members of tie American
Unitarian association. The party are
making tour through the states for
the purpose of attending various state
conferences of the Unitarian body. To-
morrow they will take part in the church
conference to be held at st. Cloud.
Last evening the members of the
Unity church were called together for
the purpose of meeting the delegation,
and there was large attendance, Pas
tor s. NJ. Crothers presiding. Edward
A. Norton, minister OF the Second
Church of Boston, Mass, first dwelt
upon the general aspects of the age.
He traced the transition which had
taken place in religious matters during
the past fifty years. The minister
angel as some people thought
he ought to be; and
the church was not to-day a fire insur-
ance corporation, it was living center
for the membership of good men and
women. Thomas B. Slicer. minister
of the First Congregational church.
Providence, r. l., then addressed him
self to the new intellectual condition of
the age. He said one part of the intel
lectual temper of this age was not only
its candour, but man must devote all
his powers to comprehend that love,
hope and faith and every blessed aspir-
alton of the human soul, was still
a factor in this modern life.
Charles C. Ames. of Spring Garden
church, Philadelphia, spoke on the use
and abuse of unitarians, and was fol-
lowed by Gundall Reynolds, secretary
of the American Unitarian association.
He urged that it was not ouly the duty
but tai also to the the feelings of the people. A
church, so long as it was living faith,
would be ministry for the outside. A
number of unitarianS from the city will
accompany the delegation to st. Cloud

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

There is an old adage in stage circles
that it is proof of good artist when he
or she is capable of always selecting a
play to suit his or her peculiar bent of
genius. BY this standard Maggie Mitch
ell must be pronounced an artist,
for it has always been her
good fortune to appear in characters
which no one else could interpret so
well. Her new play, Ray" is no ex-
ception. 1t was written for her, and it
is good fit. There is the same thread
of plot that is seen in all these mountr
ain idyls, the same untutOred maiden
with long hair and short skirts, the
wealthy young man who falls in love with
her and is persuaded by proud mother
to give her up. Notwithstanding the
routine trend of the story, it is good
one and beautifully told. 1t is a comedy
of the higher order, with tender touches
of pathos here and there in the lines.
Miss Mitchell interprets the hum0r
in her usually delightful style, and
in pathetic parts she is always touch
ing. The character of Ray is not al
ways consistent, yet in the main it is
that of light-hearted, CHEEKY girl, who
= is strong enough to keep her few troub-
les to herself. The one fault of the
play is that, with the exception of
the closing of the second act,
the climaXes are not striking
enough. Otherwise it is probably
the best play that Miss Mitchell has yea
produced Miss Mitchell is supported
by an excellent company. Charles Abb
bolts impersonation of Gabe Weldon is
excellent, and he mas the good taste not
to oyerdo it. Mr.. McClannin's
portrayal of a labor agitator is
splendid. Mr.. Boardman was suf-
fering last night from hoarseness.
Still he managed to give a satisfactory
rendition of Percy VOrell, the lover.
