not think Of dignifying them by bringing
n civil suit for libel. Had they been con-
fined to iibcling him he would have treat
ed them with contemptuous silence, but,

such shameless and wanton traduccrs,

acter, should be brought to answer at the
bar of public justice. II is with that piIr-
pose of view that / write this letter and
send these papers that you may exhibit
these libcls To the grand jury for such ac.

SCRANTON, Pa, April 0.-Gcncral
Master Workman Powtlerly Of the
Knights of Labor was asked by the as
sociated press tonight for his views on
the labor demonstrations throughout the
country tomorrow. Mr.. Powderiy said
he had always favored an ciRht-hour law,
although at some times opposed TO the
methods advocated To bring IL about. The
Knights Of Labor had also endorsed II Of
ficially. As he understood IL, to-morrow's
demonstrations were to convince the pub
lic that the labor element was greatly In
favor OF shorter hours for the toilers. IL
had been frequently alleged that the eight
hour movement was simply for effect and
that the workingmen did not really force
u. After the demonstration OF Tomorrow
il Is To be hoped there will he no untrue
charges OF the kind.
You will see the eight hour law il a
most righteous one when you remember
that man can perform between the
hours Of and II in the morning more
labor with the implement Is of the present
than two men could perform in two days
of 10 hours each with the implements used
40 years ago. However, n solution Of the
whole problem will come when the
laborer shares the profits Of his tolls. As
he will he then working for himself, he
can labor or 10 hours as he may desire.

penters and bricklayers, OF whom fully
10000 will march.

AFTER A LONG DEBATE
The Horrill Pension Bill Passed by the
House.
Adopted as Substitute for the SEN
ate Measure by a Vote of
ITO to 7O-Provisions
OF the Bill.

WASHINGTON, April O.-In the house
to-day Carlisle protested against the
adoption of resolutions which took away
from the committee of the whole the
right to consider bills. and forced the
house to vote upon them after brief de-
bate. IL was not fair To n member Of the
house. II was not fair to the tax payers
OF the country. Pension estimates were
never liberal enough and he said the ex-
pcnditurc under the senate bill would
amount To si5.0O,UO, and under the
house bill 20 s5O,UUO.UO. From this time
on he would protest against this system
and insist upon the rights OF members to
have opportunity for discussion and
amendment.
Henderson, of Iowa, inquired whether
the gentlemen on the other side would
support measures desired by the soldiers.
Carlisle said he was not authorizedto
speak on the subject, but in his opinion
there were gentlemen on the democratic
side who would give the soldiers more
than the gentlemen from Iowa would b.
willing To give them.
Henderson: You are very liberal when
you are out of power. We took care of
the soldiers when you had a majority: we
intend to take care Of them now.
After considerable further debate of
this nature Mckinley said the resolution
was justified under the present code Of
rules and by the precedence set by the
house. The republicans wanted to 20 to
public business, the country wanted re-
suits, not speeches.
The resolution was adopted and Nor
rill spoke in support of the bill. The total
number Of persons put upon the pension
roll under the provisions of the bill was
estimated at it0,UO, at an annual cost OF
SS,629.OO. This act OF justice had been

WASHINGTON, April O.-Ralph Beau
mont, chairman Of the national legisla-
tive COMMITTEES Of the knights OF Labor,
has written to Major Mckinley q letter
criticizing the pending silver bill. Beau.
mont says I'm part: "On what ground OF
equity and Justice does your party decide
TO confer legal tender powers 20 these GER
tiflcates for the purpose for which the ma
tional banks desire to Use them and ~
fuse farmers and business men Of the
country the same privilege"
Beaumont then recalls the discrimina-
t,on between the trade dollar and the
standard dollar, and asks: "what Is to
hinder under this bill the same
bankers from discriminating against
this note, as IL Ii only legal
tender for certain purposes. This bill
creates money for bankers and notes for
farmers. II Is not the notes the farmers
are In need OF; they Are already burSlened
down with notes. II Is money they want
with which they may liquidate their in
debtetlness TO their bondsnen. insist,
sir, that IL you, as leader OF the house,
let this measure pass, creating these GER
tiflcates without comforting upon them
full legal tender power to enable these
overburdcned farmers to meet their Obj
legations you are guilty OF committing
wrong and mark il, Il is one that both you
and your party will have to atone for
in the coming congressional campaign.
These overburtened tillers of the soil
are in no mood 10 be trified with. They
are desperate. You, Us leader of your
party in the house, are on the point OF
pressing measure through the house,
known as the tariff bill, which you say is
TO protect the tillers OF the soil from
ruinous competition from abroad. Let me
again beg TO warn you that since the
last campaign, which was fought ou'
| upon this issue, these same tillers Of the
| soil have come to the conclusion that
during that campaign they were laborinp
under delusion, and have come to the
conclusion that il Is not from competition
from abroad that they are suffering, but on
the contrary il is from legal discrimina
ton against them i'm the interest of cor
porate wealth by just such unfair legisla
ton as is contained i'm this bill.
