What the knights Say.

Knights of Labor say that II. Walter
Webb, third vice president of the New
York Central railroad. could not have
done them a better service than by pub
fishing his instructions to the heads Of
departments to ostracize all members of
the order. They claim that Mr.. Webb
has an Interior motive, which will de-
velop before six months have elapsed,
and that it is wholesale reduction of
wages, not only on the Central, but on the
entire Vanderbilt system. They say that
Knights increased the wages of yard
men, brakemen. switchmen and shop
men from s. to $40 month. and that
the company will now get the wages
down to the basis before the Knights
came into existence on the road. They
point to the action of the Fourth Ave-
nue. railroad and other surface roads in
this city to demonstrate their claim.
Since the disruption of the order on the
railroads here wages have been reduced
and hours heightened. Such. it is said.
is generally the case when an organiza-
ton is disrupted. York Press.

A Little Obstruction.

earnestly wish and hope that The
Herald will follow up this matter with
similar trenchant blows against these
monopolies which the foolish people have
created to crush themselves, and that it
will give it's powerful aid to the move
ment now making by the Labor party
to elect members to the legislature who
shall be pledged to do all they can, if
necessary by obstructing the organiza-
ton of the house, to bring about such
legislation as shall make the railroads,
telegraphs, etc., to be the property OF
the people, and to be conducted in the
interest of the people, SO that the rule of
railroading henceforth shall be that the
public get the best service at the price
of barely what the traffic will cost.-Dr.

Says the Denver journal of Commerce :
The San Juan country III Colorado and
the adjoining San Juan country in New
Mexico, chiefly on the south side of the
river, made fine fruit displays at the last
Pueblo fair. 1t is justifying the wisdom
Of the old Pueblos and cliff-dwellers, who
made it great center of their race in the
far-away centuries of the past. Though it
seems SO far away from everywhere on the
southeast side OF its massive mountains, it
will soon be in the heart of liyeliest activity
on the continent. Arizona is forging
ahead; Deming, south nearly across the
New Mexico plateau, is building railroads
north and south, and along the Rio
Grande great things are preparing, as
well as in northern New Mexico; while,
from the northern slope of the San Juan
ranges, the gold discoveries are attracting
railroads and large population. Some
day this will be nearly midway from
Puget Sound seaports to the deep water
harbor on the Texas coast, and all the
mountain plateau from Wyoming to Mex
leo will be alive with active mining.
Then its day will have come, and its great
agricultural capacity be fully developed.
And that day is not far distant, either. :"

letter from the secretary OF the interior
with accompanying papers, showing the
number and extent Of these claims, ana
their present condition.
The United States owes duty to Mex.
leo to confirm TO her citizens those valid
grants that were saved by the treaty, and
the long delay which has attended the
discharge OF this duty has given Just cause
of complaint.
The entire community, where these
large claims exist, and indeed all Of our
people, are interested in an early and final
settlement Of them. No greater incubus
can rest upon the energies OF people or
the development of new country than
that resulting from unsettled land titles,
The necessity for legislation is so evi-
dent and so urgent that | venture to ex-
press the hope that relief will be given at
the present session of congress.

am again told by friends of Mr.. 10.
seph that he asserts positively, that he is
not a candidate for denomination, and
that he even goes so far as to say, that
he will not accept the Democratic nom-
nation, il rendered him. His friends
think he is afraid of the result, and does
not care to jeopardize any large sum of
money in the uncertainty of the cam
paign; besides should he be beaten, his
prestige would be gone, and his chances
for the senate forever destroyed, even
should the Democrats be able to elect the
senators. | do not see why your people
should not elect Republican delegate
at the coming election. Anybody, who
knows anything at all of Washington and
political matters, must know that for
the coming two years Republican dele
gate can do your material interests more
good in day, than a Democratic repre-
sentative could do in month. 1t is a
pure matter Of business with you, it
seems to me. You want help, appoint
ments and appropriations and a Repub-
llcan member Of congress can of course
help you with a Republican adminstra-
ton.

NOT READY TO PUSH TT.
Senators will Go Slow on the Election
Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The failure of
the Republican senatorial caucus to agree
upon program for the consideration of
the federal election bill does not neces.
sarily signify that they will not press
that measure. There are many senators
who are lukewarm in this matter, and
there are several who are opposed to the
bill, but those who want it passed this
session are deeply in earnest, and they
are supported in their position by the
influence OF the house. and possibly by
that of the president. 1t was urged in
caucus by those who opposed the meas
ure, that it should not be assumed at
once that the Democrats in the senate
propose to obstruct all legislation. Though
there has been much talk Of the intention
of the Democrats to protract debate
unnecessarily for the purpose of de-
feating the bill by consumption
OF time, and though this might be
their course, these senators hold that
as yet there had not been sufficient evil
dence of this plan to warrant the majority
in attempting to put in force the "previous
question" They held that no such evi-
dence had been given by the debate on
the silver bill, for the reason that the
Democrats might claim that this measure
is one Of importance upon which the
parties are divided, and that they con-
sumed no more time in debate than was
necessary to fully present the issue to the
public. Accordingly the decision was
made to 60 on with the regular legislation
and to see what the Democrats did before
taking further action. 1t is the purpose
of the advocates Of the federal election
bill after following this course out of con-
sideration for the conservative sentiment
in the party, to attempt to fix time for
the vote on the measure. There is no
doubt but that the Republicans will find
some way to pass the federal elections bill
through the senate if they chose to do so.
There are several ways in which this
might be done, without changing the rules
either. All that is necessary is for the
Republicans to stand together.

them. She had been gone but short
time when colored woman came in and
claimed that Mrs. DIR. johnson had sent
her for the bundle.
Her story was such a straight one that
she was allowed to take the goods, and
1t was only when the real owner called
for them that the mistake was discoy-
cred. 1t was subsequently, ascertaincd
tnat the colorcd woman was trying to
dispose of dry goods to parties on Com
