The rowderly-L,.chm.n Letters.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 5.-This
article two columns and q half in length
contributed By General Master Workman
20 wderIy and containing the correspond
snce that passed between him and Charles
Ii. Litchman upon resigning the General
Secretaryship Of the order. First is given
Mr.. Litchman's letter of resignation which
has aireedy teen published.
ar. fowderly's reply opens with an ac.
ceptance Of the resignation and then he
adds: "While will not question your mo-
tives in taking this step, you will, l trust,
pardon me II l say that l fail to see how or.
ganised labor can be benefited by having its
officers cast aside obligations and duties
which their constituents imposed upon
them for the purpose of taking sides in 8
political campaign. 1t is true thai
groans and sghs are flowing up from the
mouths OF political leaders for the
wrongs OF the working men. Many
of those who groan Ioudest at this
time may be justly classed among those
who are .he very worst oppressors of la.
bors. The tears they shed will never in.
crease in volume to such an extent as to
wipe away the grievous wrongs their pas,
actions or failures to act have imposed
upon the men who bend under poverty Z
load. You cannot blame me then II | cal |
the groans and signs mere empty sounds,
the tears but hollow mockery and the pro
fessioDs OF Conversion to the doctrines OF
organized labor as the sublimity OF hypo-
crisy.
SIN this campaign every man has an un-
doubted right to so act as TO confer the
greatest amount Of good upon his country,
but tie question at issue, the tariff, will moi
be settled when the votes are counted in
November. The election OF President will
not make change unless the people of all
the land make iudicious selections of sue h
members Of the National Legislature as
will carry out their wishes when Congress
assemblies. Already forty-ons nominated
candidates, regardless OF party, have
signed written pledges to work for meas.
ures OF reform at the request OF members
OF the Knights OF Labor. II this plan OF
our order is faithfully carried out, 1t Will
result in more good than any other"
Mr.. Litchman winds up the correspon.
dence. He says: II hold /; more honor.
able to lay down official duties that would
hamper private action than TO retain such
position and at the same time be engaged
in political scheming In secret with party
agents whom 1t is necessary, ostensibly, 10
publicly denounce. ! honestly believe that,
bad as you say the Republican party is, the
Democratic party is Infinitely worse by
reason OF the advocacy Of free trade, and ]
further believe | should be false to my
duty TO the people II l did not do all in my
power to defeat the political combinations
that would, II successful, still further lower
their standard OF wages and conse-
quently their standard OF living.'

Roasted In Flames.

BALTIMORE, Sept 2.-Early this
morning a fire broke ont in the warehouse
of Pryor, Helgenberg & Co, 11T South
Sharpe street. Before the firemen could
get to work on it some fireworks wrecked
the building and caused the flames to
spread to the drug house of J. Ii. Winkel-
man & Co, on the north and the hat house
of NJ. S. Levy & Co. on the south. Scarcely
had the firemen entered the edifice occupied
by the drug house when the inside Of the
building seemed to drop in and terrific eS-
plosion took place, burying several firemen.
The flames then had chance to spread
with trightful rapidity. In short time the
entire block running from Lombard to
Pratt street was a seething mass OF lime.
The firemen worked hrayely. Holes were
cut through the pavement and every effort
was made to reach the imprisoned men, but
they were buried under great mass o.
brick and the flames were roaring around
the spot. Awful groans came from the
pile, which seemed to make the working
firemen put forth superhuman efforts, and
after more than an hours work it became
evident that some of the men were alive
and that they were being roasted to death.
