anoe cannot be ovsr-estimated. Above
and beyond all else, the necessity Of la

most to be desired, strived after, sacri-

tho educational process. 1t Is move
ment In the right direction. A move
ment directly tending to the solu-
ton OF the whole labor problem
in such way as will adjust all labor re-
lations with the least possible friction
to society and the least possible dis
turbance to all present industrial move
ments. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
Mr.. Powderly will be able to carry on
his work to this desired end, heartily
sustained by the order at large and en-
couraged by the conservative sentiment
of the country. The present friotions,
the disturbances to trade, the inter-
ruptions of numerical exchange are all
due to the unadjusted conditions Of
labor, and the ineff1oienoy of present
national and state regulations. Edu-
Gated, instructed, experienced, intelli-
gent, conservative labor will revolution
ize by legitimate methods and the end |
of such revolution will be peace, not
good not evil; Justice to all and
oppression to none. Toward this Pow

COULD NOT WRITE ENGLISH.

In the report of the council proceed

ours asentenoe-s small sentence, so far
as the simple words composing it are
concerned; brief sentence, II the num-
Der Of words are alone considered; q SEN
tence which many no doubt passed over
without a second thought, and yet it is
the most pregnant sentence of the whole
session. 1t occurs in the following tran
script OF proceedings, which refers to the
minutes of the previous meeting:
"After the reading was ended, Gala
CHER arose and said it seemed very hard
for this administration to get him
straight on the records. HIS reasons for
voting against the budget last meeting,
which he had asked to be put on record,
had not been engrossed in the minutes
and he wanted TO know the reason. The
mayor said the clerk who had written
the minutes did not properly understand
the English language. That was the
reason. 1t was ordered to record his
position on the budget"

WEDNESDAY, MARCH, 20, '88.
WISDOM BY EXPERIENCE.

The evidence multiplies that the
Knights OF Labor in America are not so
ready to forsake the following of their
conservative head and leader, L. V.
Powderly, as some Of the turbulent, hot
headed spirits of the organization would
have the country at large believe.
Thomas. B. Mcclure, the leader OF the
old "Forty-niners" in New York, and
q member of the general executive board
of the Knights Of Labor, is authority for
the statement that the breach in the or
der has been healed and that all things
are harmonious. He says that the anti
PoWderly organization In Chicago died
Its infancy, and that the opposition
ias dwindled into insigniicance. That
although Mr.. Powderly had not recov-
cred from his recent Illness, he was gain
ing strength, would soon resume his
regular duties, and that there was no
danger OF his retiring from his posision
as general master workman.
These opinions of Mr.. Mcclure may,
or they may not, correctly represent the
condition Of matters within the order.
These conditions are not 80 easily ar
rived at, as the X. OF l.. Is very far from
being homogeneous body. One thing
is certain; conservative, thinking men
everywhere will wish them true. Mr..
P0wderly Is the accepted representative
ia 70
sentially just and calculated to build up
the workingmen's interests on stable
and wisely laid foundations. No man In
America is so free, in practical express
sion and suggestion, from the mere cant
OF labor as ia Mr.. Powderly. No man so
interested In the labor movements Of this
age sees so clearly the limitations OF his
work as mere adjustor ofthe relations
existing between labor and speculative
capital. No man who recognizes more
profoundly that organization as a means
to an end, is the great desideratum, but
that organization as an end is nothing.
The education OF laboring men, their
elevation and development as a class,
until they reach self.respecting oondi-
ton in which they will need no stimu-
liant outside OF their own intelligent con-
ception of themselves, this Ia the work
which Mr.. Powderly has set before the
organization Of which he is the acknowl-
edged leader. In the work thus pro-
posed by Mr.. Powderly, the elevation of
the workingmen OF these United States.

Zens OF free representative govern

citizens for the improvement of their in
dustrial condition, in this work Mr.. Pow
derby has the hearty sympathy Of every
genuine American citizen. The en-
eroschments Of reproductive capital,
and the mOnOpOlies of capital in cOmbi-
nation as well, can only be met by wise
and judicious restrictions; such restric-
lions as can only be imposed by state
and national legislation. This work, the

CLEAN THAT CORRIDOR.

If the ancient scripture be still o
force, which saith, "Cleanliness is next
to Godliness," shades of our departed
grandmothers, what an ungodly place
that San Antonio post Office must be.
The corridor is so Uttered with torn
papers. piles of dirt swept into corners
and behind the bullitin board, to be
blown out into the corridor when the
wind sweeps in at the opened doors,
that at times it is dangerous to send
small children after mail lest they
should be stranded in the rubbish. 1t
was not fit for q respectable dog to
kennel In this morning. At no
time is it clean. Even on clean
Ing up days 1t only gets q
lick and a promise. but this
morning and yesterday that corridor
was dirty, filthy to degree that would
nauseate. These remarks refer, of neces-
sity, to the corridor in which the pub
lie enter to receive their mail. No refer
ence is made to the inside Of the office.

illness, lay upon that floor this morning
and last evening and all yes
terday afternoon. Behind the
bulletin board, upon which
the registered letters are advertised, was
heap that would have done credit to
any dustman's pile In Gotham, but was
only discredit and disgrace to our
city post office. Ladies cannot enter
and depart from that post Office without
soiling their clothing. Scores of them
have laid their complaints at this Office
and requested that the LIGHT take up
the grievance. Finding fault is not
gracious task at any time. The LIGHT
would infinitely prefer commenda-
tion to condemnation, and par
ticulsrly in this instance, for 1t has
always been most courteously treated
by the postal department of this city,
and acknowledges with pleasure the
personal attention ofits employees. But,
it's duty as 8 public servant and censor,
and the demand made upon 1t for pub
lie censure of the condition in which the
postofflce corridor is kept, leaves 1t no
option In the premises. The LIGHT &C
calls for change in the iani-
torship Of the postoffice, or such rigid
supervision OF the condition of the build
ing, 80 far as concerns the general pub
lie, as will correct the present untidy,
and filthy appearance of the
place.
