P0WDERLY's WISE WORDS.

No letter from T. V. Powderly in re-
cent days has attracted so much atten-
ton as the one written by him early
this week and addressed to the knights
OF Labor throughout the country, in re-
gard to the hours Of labor. Coming at
the when organized labor is consider
ing the advisability Of immediate ac-
ton in this matter, the utterances OF
MIR. Powderly will carry more than Or
binary weight. lie advises the knights
to discuss the eight-hour plan dispas-
sionately with their employers. He
says that an immediate change cannot
be insisted on, but that a practical
plan should be perfected He con-
cludes thus:
1.-THE workingmen and the common
people generally are the rulers in our
cities and towns, and they should at
once begin to- make their power felt in
the matter of shortening the hours OF
labor of the employees of the cities and
towns. The order need not be made a
political machine to do this. Do not
be deferred from making the attempt
by having 1t said that you have bright
as an order to mix in politics. The Or
der must not be dragged into partisan
politics, Eut our members should take
an active part as citizens in the DIS
charge Of their duty at the polls and af-
forwards voting for men who favor
shortening the hours Of labor of en-
ployes in municipalities, Begin at
once to perfect a practical plan of op-
erations looking to the Inauguration Of
the eigLt-hour day. Pass no resolu.
liOns declaring that YOU will do it on
such day: pass no resolutions of any
kind but work on the plan, and when
the time comes to put it in operation it
eau be done without resolutions. Con-
suit employers get their views; ar
range with them for meetings 20 per-
feet plans and bring about a better
feeling between workingmen and en-
ployers than has existed for some time

will not condescend' to meet with or
talk to their employees. Purse proud
worms, who are to be classed among
the ignorant Ilch,' will live to stand in
their own and the community's light
for ages to como, but the world does
not move around them. The day is
coming in this land when the employer
who has the manhood, the patriotism
and the sense to talk in straightfor
ward way to his employees will be en-
titled to and will receive more Of honor
and wealth than the selfish fellow upon
whom fortune has showered riches and
nothing else. unless it be an ill-nature.
Our members should not miss an op-
portunity to discuss some plank in our
preamble at each meeting during the
coming year. Take up the eight-hour
plan and discuss it, side by sida with
the one which calls for the establish
1nent of Government telegraph"

No ONE will deny but what John
Roche has made ali excellent comptrol-
ler, but when a man has been honored
by his party for almost quarter of q
century in one position, there is no
reason why he should not give way to
another; particularly is this a fact
when the choice OF the convention falls
upon man just as capable, and whose
honesty and integrity as an official or
private citizen not one word can be
said against. This can be said of III. j.
DAILY, the Democratic nominee, and
therefore the united support Of the
Democracy of st. Paul should be given
to him in the. struggle to come.

JOHN DILLON ARREsTEn

Balfour has caused his threat TO i'm
prison the Nationalist leaders to be eli
forced, and now John Dillon is unde
arrest. Balfour told Mr.. Blunt thav III
would be sorry fol Mr.. Dillon, as ht
was not a hads "sort of fellow anl
being unhealthy would not last long
hut the end to be gained has overcome
this naock sorrow, and now the great
Irish patriot is to be consigned to d
prison cell. In all probability Mr.. Dbl
Ion will not survive the penalty that
WILL be imposed upon him. His treat.
ment will likely be even more severe
than that imposed on the Nationalist
who have heretofore suffered imprison-
nent under the Crimes Act.
irish political prisoners have always
Jared badly, but under the Balfour. Sal
isbury regime they have suffered more
than heretofore. Mr.. Blunt had to live
in Cell, eight feet by seven, and
throughout all the long hours of dark
ness he was left without books and
without writing materials; he had no
means of distracting his mind from
the dark aud painful thoughts which
obtruded themselves under such pain
full circumstances, and as a result of
all this his beard grew gray in the short
space Of two months. He was not al.
lowed q tooth brush. The result was
that he lost all taste for his food. He
told this to his faithful and devoted
wife during his Trial in Dublin. She
sent for a brush, but when
he returned to Jail it was taken from
him, and be had to go with uncleansed
teeth during the remainder of his term
OF Imprisonment. The treatment to
which MIR. O'Brien was subjected is
yet fresh in the minds of our readers.
1t is only necessary to add that he has
been unable to eat a meal in comfort
since his release. Mr.. w. j. Lane was
80 reduced by hunger and confinement
that his brain reeled. Alderman
Hooper was twenty-four days in sue
cession without ever leaving his cell
because he would not herd with mur-
derers.
This is what Mr.. Dillon has got to
expect, only perhaps in his case the
treatment will be more terrible.
Balfour is anxious to make record
for himself of being the most brutal
who has yet been connected
with the administration Of affairs in
Ireland, and certainly it must be con-
fessed that he has sounded the lowest
depths yet reached BIZ Tory statesman

time, however, a successful meeting
had been held two miles outside the
town.
Three thousand persons assembled at
Midtown, Malbay, but dispersed quiet
ly, on the advice of their leaders, when
the police threatened to charge.
MIR. O'Brien's meeting at Loughrea
was stormy one. The police were on
the ground long before the hour ap-
pointed for the meeting, but the editor
of United Ireland fought the lions in
their den. He only spoke ten minutes,
but in that time he succeeded in max
ing it very unpleasant for the police.
He called them towards for not arrest
ing him, instead of i'll treating the peo-
pie. Mr.. O'Brien was followed to
the grounds about 1000 persons. He
was met by strong force of police
and military, which barred the wav,
then called to the people to halt, and
addressed the magistrate to the follow
ing effect: II wish to hold meeting to
tell the people the truth about English
rule In Ireland, but no meeting will be
held 1t it has been resolved to dispense
the people forcibly." The magistrate
replied that he could not allow the
meeting to be held Mr.. O'Brien then
insisted upon his right to hold the meet
ing, saying that he took all response
b'llty upon himself, and asked the
magistrate that, if force be used, to use
it upon him. not upon the people. A
long colloquy between the two then en-
sued, Mr. O;Brien insisting that his al
rest would end the meeting, and that il
any other acti'n was taken the respon--
slbll1tY would rest on the police. The
crowd then advanced toward the plat
form, and the police immediately at
tackled there, knocking down those who
resisted, Only MIR. O'Brien and two
clergymen were left. Stones now be.
gan TO by and the police brought their
batons into requisition. At this critical
moment Father Meagher, in few well
chosen words, begged the crowd to
desist from violence, but his efforts
were only partially successful. The
police then pressed upon the people and
cleared The field, several civilians receiy-
Ing scalp wounds in the operation. At
4:30 o'clock Mr. O'Brien addressed a
meeting at Temperance Hail. a. few
clergymen and about 20 Of the leading
Nationalist were present. Police ar
rived on the ground after the meeting
had closed.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the Government which at the
present moment has the destinles of
lre'anQ in it's hands, and which has
resorSeG to such brutal means with the
desire Of crushing out the spirit Of
ii1sh nationality has undertaken a large
contract. They may inaict great suffer

barred with jet black; its bill was
bright yellow, and tapered to spear
