THE revolters from the Knights of Labor are organizing another body un- der the same name that is to be vested in absolute secrecy. The officers are now busily engaged in talking about the scheme, which is probably their idea of the secrecy they propose to practice. The cause of labor would be better served if these kickers would follow the example of the labor leaders who are now engaged in an effort to unite all the divergent forces of organized labor Jealousy and division will not bring any good to the cause

This looks like an effort to make the workingmen fry the fat that was turned over to Quay and his associate boodlers in the campaign. The workingmen who were told that the in dustrial millennium was to follow liar rison's inauguration are getting plenty of information that wasn't obtainable during the campaign of education.

THE HARTFORD HORROR.

In the terrible disaster that has visited
 our sister city of Hartford there is little that is new to point moral or adorn a tale. It is simply one of those awful horrors that seem destined at periodic intervals to startle the world and call at tention to the utter dependence on each other in which men go through the lights and shadows of life. And it en- phasizes anew the power of distance in it's relation to the effect produced by such catastrophes. The same news com- ing to us from Europe, or even from some distant point in our own land, would be dismissed with a passing com ment, while we are all stirred to our arts'depths by the fact that this horror has happened almost at our very doors.
 If, as seems to be the case from the in- formation already at hand, the building itself had been declared unsafe, and if to this is added the further rumor that the man in whose charge rested the safety of so many lives was drinking, un- trustworthy and careless man, there would seem to be present all the clements and conditions necessary to fix the awful responsibility where it properly belongs. The law, or the ad- ministration of the law, must be very loose when any man is allowed to solicit public patronage in building that is admittedly unsafe. And that careless ness must be little short of criminal that would entrust the dangerous re- sources of steam to a man whose habits render him unsafe to trust even with a
