AoUILLA JONES A LAW-BREAKER.

We have information from Minneapolis,
Mimi, that Is, 900 copies of the large Demo-
cratic campaign circular containing the dollar
a-day and other lies concerning General Har-
rison have been received in the postoffice at
that city. consigned to the address of a we'll
known Democrat. These circulars are printed
in this city on the Sentinel press and with
Sentinel type, and bear the heading Labor
Signal Supplement" They are exactly the
size of the four-page Sentinel, but they have
no date nor number, are not entered as second
class matter, and have no more claim to be
circulated as such than any other campaign
circular. The law says:
1.-THE conditions upon which a publication
shall be admitted to the second class are as
follows: First, it must regularly DE issued at
stated intervals as frequently as four times a
year. and bear a date of issue and be mum.
bered co~nsecutively; second, it must be issued
from a known office of publication. Publica-
tons issued without disclosing the Office of
publication must not be forwarded unless pre-
paid at the rate of third class matter"
Another provision of the postal laws says:
Supplements must be folded within the issue
of the number which they are intended to
supplement-. If mailed separately, they must
be prepaid as third class matter" Thus,
Sentinel press, were a genuine supplement
to the Labor Signal, it would have to be folded
IN tba panar ;tsalf 20 .nf;tlo IL e. ~ 81 norrd
rates. Yet Postmaster Jones permits them
to be sent from here in the mails as second
class matter at publishers rates, thus violat-
ing the law and defrauding the government.
The 10, coo circulars sent to Minneapolis
would ill several large mail bags. Other
thousands have doubtless been sent to other
places. Everyone of them should pay one
cent postage. Sent at publishers rates, they
60 for one cent a pound, and it would take at
least twenty to make a pound. Their trans
mission by mail as second. class matter is a
fragrant violation of law, done to save postage
for the Democratic committee. If Postmaster
Jones is approving or permitting this to be
done. he is guilty of malfeasance in Office. If
it is done without his knowledge. he is unfit
for his position. The whole business is a base
prostitution of the postal service to partisan
purposes. The amount saved in postage to
the Democratic committee is stolen from the
government. We speak deliberately when we
saw the differenca hetvean one cant an;aoa an
these circulars and one cent a pound is stolen
from the government. This is but one of
many frauds now being practiced on and
through the postal service. If the people want
to save it from being converted into a partisan
machine and engine of oppression to all but
Democrats, they must turn the rascals out.

COMMITTEES of One Hundred" organized
for the purpose of purifying politics, are the
result of a public movement and are not ap-
pointed by a political manager of the party
which is noted for its perpetration of election
frauds. The Citizens Committee of Marion
county is composed Of law-abiding citizens of
all parties. 1t has proved its earnestness and
effectiveness by work which resulted in the
conviction and punishment of two ~rascals,
and for this reason the party to which those
rascals belong refuse to recognize it.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR REVOLT.

Armstrong Assembly, Knights of Labor,
of this city, send out a circular denouncing
Gould and his miserable lies concerning Gen.
eral Harrison. The Journal prints the circu-
lar in another column. 1t will attract uni
versal attention. 1t is the first, and it is a
manly stand taken bra labor assembly to pre-
serve the organization from the absolute ruin
which must be the result if Gould and his
kind are permitted to use the name and seal
of the Knights to disseminate his foul and
leprous falsehoods. 1t will be observed that
one OF the officers present
at the meeting of Armstrong Assembly,
when this circular was adopted, Is a member
of the legislative committee of the district, by
whose assumed authority Gould addressed his
lying letter to the Canisteo, New York, assem-
bly,. The action of Armstrong Assembly
drives the last nail into the coffin of the Gould
lie.
1t is worth notice. too, that not q man
whose name appears on the Armstrong As
sembly circular is a Republican. They are all
Labor Union men. Mr.. Medert organized the
movement for the election of Allen as United
States Senator against General Harrison in
1887. The circular is not, therefore, partisan,
but is an effort to save the Knights of Labor
from Corfd;sv

the result is beyond estimate.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Hon. ". L. Scott is one Of those represent
alive Democrats who profess such great anxiety
for the laboring man that they are afraid he
will starve unless the Republican protection
laws are wiped from the statute books. His
personal love for the laborer is shown, however,
by the fact that ne is the only coal operator in
Pennsylvania who refuses to give his men the
advance Of 5 cents per ton promised them last
February. This is supposed to be in strict ac-
cordance with his announced intention OF con-
trolling the laboriug man by making him con-
sumo to-day what he earns tomorrow.
