EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYED.
From Harper's weekly


The letters of Powderly to Lee. which
were produced at the investigation of the
late Central strike, were a curious dis
closure OF the situation of the organiza-
ton of the Knights of Labor. They show
a body of workmen secretly combined
against their employers as their enemies.
The object of the workmen, as represented
in the letters, was not to do their work
honestly and we'll as men and citizens,
but to arrange and prepare and conspire
in order to make a successful demand at
o fortunate moment TO secure some adj
vantage. The only reason suggested for
such a movement at the time OF the cor
respondence was that the railroad COM
pany WAS 'slaying off" men. apparently
for no other reason than that they were
members of this organization.
Now we believe that any honest mar in
any employment would acknowledge
That such Il reason was valid. II any such
honest man were himself an employer,
and while paying his men the wages they
asked, and maintaining perfectly friendly
relations withthem, he learned that some
Of them were combined. and waiting and
watching for a convenient moment to
make a dem md upon him under a threat
of running his business If he did not COM
ply, would he not feel himself entirely
Justified in getting rid Of such employees
as fast as he could? Could he honestly
blame any mar or any company that did
the same ching?
Powderly dissuaded Lee from encour-
aging the strike at the time it occurred,
but only for the reason hat the time was
i'll chosen; ana he intimated that a better
time would be the year Of the Worlds
Fair, when the enormous traffic of the
road ana the consequent loss from inter-
ruption of communication would induce
the company to grant almost any demand.
In view of the light which these letters
throw on such combinations, no sensible
man can be surprised that there is pro-
found distrust Of employees whose funda-
mental principle is that the employer is
their natural enemy, whom they must
circumvent in every possible way, Such
a view cannot lead to pleasant relations,
nor dispose either the employer or en-
ploye to be friendly. 1t will naturally,
as we say. incline the employer to do just
what the employe would do in his place
get rid of such employees with all dis
patch. q

AT THE A SCHOOL.
Prof. Green Pleased With the Success Of
~ His system.

Prof. Green Pleased With the Success OF
~ His system.
Special to the Jersey Ctr Ns,os.
TRENTON, Sept. 22, 1S9o.-The State
schools have been in session for one week
and Principal James M. Green is greatly
gratified with the way in which the year
begins. The Normal has broken all pre-
cedents with 800 students. This is sixty
five above n year in the past. The
school opened last year with 2S5 students.
and the largest number previous TO last
year was 20S. The number taking the
advanced curse is about thirty, and this
exceeds any past record by about twelve.
This is especially gratifying to Prof.
Green, for this proves the success OF his
system. With this large number in the
advanced course, he thinks they can
make a good showing.
In the Model there are about $50 stu
dents. Last year there were 425. In the
lowest primary class there are forty
four pupils, which is more than double
the number there last year. Professor
Green is greatly pleased with this in
crease. He mad q special point in chang
ing the system of teaching the primary
scholars, and this proves its success. He
says they were unplaSantly criticised
last year because the children seemedto be
learning more slowly than under the old
system. The parents naturally thought
because their children did not have long
lessons to learn at home they were get
ting on slowly. The facts are they are
learning much more rapidly than under
the old system. The principal feels that
he has gained his point and proved him
self right. The class will be divided into
two divisions, and an extra teaching
force will be secured.

the best prospect that the situation
offers. It is true Mr.. Brann will draw
many votes from the Ring candidate
for Sheriff, but fusion offers a prospect
of just as heavy deductions from the
Ring vote, every vote counting double
because it goes to the n ti-Ring candi-
date. We would be glad to see Mr..
Brann or any other good man win,
but we don't believe he can. and we
hope our labor friends will not push
their advocacy Of his claims further
than will be iudicious.
We may be looked upon as fault
finding; but we cannot approve the
course taken by the meeting yesterday
in endorsing the position of the
Liquor Dealers Association. These
cormorants are not content with the
best and most liberal law that the
State has ever had for the regulation
OF their traffic. They want the license
fee reduced SO that a petty run hole
may be opened on every corner to be
a breeding place of misery and
crime, a school for toughs and
loafers. We have been aston
ished that respectable members of the
liquor trade adopted such a platform.
1t ought to be their policy to restrict
and to elevate by restricting this traf-
-fic. We are still more amazed that
honest workingmen should endorse
demands,which are injurious to all
the community, and perhaps to them
selves than any other section
of it.
We believe that the liquor traffic
should be treated fairly; but it should
be dealt with strictly, too. The COM
munity should be protected against
its development in a hurtful or dam
gerous degree.

Jacobs, Hoboken Theatre.

Commencing with the performance
this evening the Western romance,
Devils Nine" which has just closed a
New York engagement, begins a stay of
three nights and Wednesday matinee at
this theatre. The stage and mechanical
effects presented during the play are very
realistic. Thursday evening will be
marked by the production of Steele
Mackaye's great play, money Mad"
under the management of j. M. Hill, with
all the elaborate effects which made such
a hit during its Metropolitan run. The
famous bridge scene in this play will
prove one of the features of the perform
ance, for it is generally conceded to be a
triumph of stage mechanism. The scene
is a view of the Clark street bridge in Chi
cago, and the bridge has an immense
draw that swings out into the auditorium
over the footlights to allow the passage
through Of a large steamboat sending out
steam and twinkling with lights. Man
ager Hill promises the original scenery
in this production.

St. Andrew,s s~ociety,s Outing.

The st. Andrews Society held its first
annual picnic Of Saturday. They started
by the half past nine a. m. train on the
Erie Railroad. and proceeded to Green
wood Lake. They enjoyed their luncheon
in the new hotel. The party went boating,
bathing, sailing round the lake and en-
gaging in outdoor games. The Rev. Mr..
Houston gave some fine songs and led in
hymn singing. The Rev. David Mitchell
presided at an extemporised meeting on
the fine veranda of the new hotel, and
was supported by speeches from Messrs.
Oliphant, Reid and Lindsay. They
reached the city about eight O'Clock all
highly delighted.

The Hostess, Golden Rule.
Erect of Education on women.

Given a robust and healthy woman
of seventeen or eighteen years of age,
there can be no harm in continuing
her education till she is one or two
'and-twenty. At the same time the
objects and methods of her education
might we'll be different from those of
men. Female Bentleys and Persons,
NewJons and Herschels will certainly
not be numerous, and if signs ofsuch
commanding genius display them
selves by all means let the genius be
cultivated to the utmost.
But every girl might be SO taught
that her mind, instead of being de-
voted to frivolous objects, should be
educated in the true sense OF the term,
and made to recognize the Importance
of early training and the value OF APP
plication TO useful objects in order
that she may begin betimes to teach
without strain or effort her offspring.
The arts at least are freely open to
her. The point when harm is pro-
duced is when weak or dull girls are
made to work beyond their strength,
and whether weak or strong it
must always be remembered that
| suitable recreation is demanded. FL
| naliy, it must not be forgotten that
sound, sense is better in the
affairs Of life than much knowledge,

THIS paper IS democratic IN principles
and Is dn~dependent In its UtetUS on at
local Questions.
That Awful ReHelation.


We reprint today the list of the
Democratic County Committee which
appeared in THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS of yesterday.
We have information from all
quarters of the city that the consign-
ments Of the various newsdealers sold
out before ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing and hundreds of demands for the
paper were unsatisfied. All this morn
ing there has been a procession of
citizens to buy the paper at THE JER-
sEY CITY NEWS office, and many are
the kickers because the paper could
not be obtained yesterday. In order
that the list. may reach the entire
city, therefore, we republish it today.
And why does it create so great a
sensation? Why is there such a rush
to c it2
Because it is an absolute novelty.
Because it is a revelation to nine hun
bred and ninety-nine citizens out Of a
thousand.
And what a revelationl
People surmised that it was a pretty
bad list Enough was known of its
doings to make that pretty certain.
But no conjecture could get downlow
enough to match the reality.
OF course there are a few good
names-hardly half a dozen, but still
few. Take these out and the re-
manning gang are a disgrace to the
county and a disgrace to the Demo-
cratic party, an outrage on decency
and an insult to all respectable citi-
zens.
And these toughs and hoodlums and
scallawags are the virtual rulers OF
Hudson county. They have given us
a Mayor they fill our boards and
commissions and they take all the fat
offices controlled thereby for them
selves and their friends. They make
our county officers, and SO far as they
dare they aim higher. 1t is on record
that one of the arch-toughs was once
ambitious of a seat on the Judicial
Bench in Hudson county, and tried
to coerce Governor Albeit into ap-
pointing him a ~lay-judge. Needless
to say the Governor sternly rebuked
his insolent p~retension, aud now the
''statesman'' concentrates his ambi-
ton on the congenial post of jailer.
Now is the time to kill this vile
combination of all that is low and cor
rupt in Hudson county. II it tri-
umphs in the Shrievalty contest this
time its reign is perpetuated for at
least a year. But, good citizens, come
out to the polls, come in your thou
sands, come in your honest wrath and
stamp on the vile thing. Crush it
Kill i'll

The coupling that attached a street car
to an electric motor broke on Saturday
night while going up the Montgomery
street hill. The passenger car at once be-
gan to descend the hill while the motor
went on. Before the passenger car had
gone ten feet the prompt action of the
conductor, who at once put on the brakes,
stopped 1t. When the next motor came
up the hill it pushed the deserted car to
the stable, drawing at the same time the
car attached { it.

self to the arts of the toilet and the

Margaret OF Anjou was also careful
of the preservation Of her personal

tumultuous scenes about her did Mary
Queen of Scots neglect the details that
