The Liquor Question in Richmond.

A Richmond, Va, special to the Philadelphia
Press says: The political situation in this city
is becoming serious for the democrats, who
hold all the Offices and who will try to elect six
members Of the legislature in November. The
question Of executing the Sunday liquor law is
giving much trouble to the party. The officers
of the Hygeia club are under indictment for
selling liquor on Sunday and the temperance
people are watching to see if the indictments
are pushed The liquor men side with the club
and, while it IL not thought the indicted parties
will be convicted il is very clear that the ques-
tion, whichever way decided, ID sure TO add
strength TO the republicans in the contest.

kumors Against the knights of L

nuTnOrs Against the hn1g0ts OF Labor.
II do not consider it worth while either to
affirm or deny the rumor," said General secre-
tary Hayes of the Knights Of Labor yesterday
in an interview at Philadelphia in regard to
whether or not the lecturers of the Knights of
Labor had been discharged because of a lack of
funds with which to pay their salaries II can,
however, say that we know the source from
which such stories are constantly emanating
The authors know that their time in positions
of prominence in the order is short and are
endeavoring to do what they can to injure the
order they have sworn to serve and promote
We can't get at them Just yet but it won't be
long before they will have been effectually
silenced. can say that it is from Pittsburg
that all stories preiudicial to the Knights Of
Labor come. They are put in circulation by
men who were at one time active workers in
the organization. Itwould be silly for MS to
attempt to explain away the many statements
that are made, even ifit would be dignifed on
our part to do So"
in Secretary Hayes room, volunteered the in
formation that there was annually set apart a
lecture fund. out of which expenses and SAL
aries are paid when that is exhausted" said
he, 1.-THE general fund cannot be drawn upon,
and if it happens not to last the full year the
lecturers have to be idle until the next appro-
priation becomes available or else give their
time and work for nothing. Such a thing is
liable to occur by reason OF unforeseen expenses
arising, but il it were true no sensible man
would look upon it as an indication that a great
order was in financial straits"
A meeting of the executive board has been
called for Monday, October z, at st. Louis,
when business will be prepared FOR the meeting
Of the general assembly that is to be held
November II at Atlanta. The story of Master
Workman Powderly's intended resignation has
again been put in circulation, but no heed is
given il by such officers Of the organization as
are in Philadelphia
