 Interest by the Whole Worll.
HEADQUARTERS KNIGHTS OF LABOR,

HEADQUARTERS KNIGHTS OF LABOR,
 June, 1890. May it please your Royal Highness
 After carefully discussing your action in calling Labor Congress together, we have decided to send you a certificate which will entitle you to membership in our order. AlthouSh we denounce all kings, queens, dukes, earls and the rest of the drones of society, yet in your case we think we see little sincerity toward bettering the con ditisn of the masses. The world, indeed, is progressing toward the millennium when we have lived to enjoy the unique spectacle of an emperor taking sides with the masses against the classes. We think it was great mistake that England was not represented by Cardinal Manning; but you have done we'll when you have done anything at all in this direction. In thrust ing Prince Bismarck aside you struck blow at the fossils called the nobility. Here in this country we have room enough in the one state of Texas to provide for the whole world and guarantee every fam ily consisting of five persons half an acre of land apiece. Yet, while we have the whole of America at our disposal, we man. age to keep One Million Men Idle. The statesmen of the future will be expected to bring about such condition of things that this vast army of men who are Kept In Enforced likeness will be made pro ducers as well as consumers The major ity of our women are striking against hay ing any more children, for the want of the means of supporting them. There is firm in Waterbury, Conn, which asks the significant question "What shall we do to dispose of our baby carriages if this condition of things continues " They have always supplied 7-s o1 the mothers with these necessary articles. They are now selling them at $4 apiece, beds at S3, solid antique chamber suits at SIS, solid walnut marble top suits with chairs and rockers included at $35, folding beds S14, plush lounges $7. It is the largest house in western Connecticut, and they arc en titled to ask such questions. AS long as your Royal Highness will pursue the oourse you have mapped out, you may rest Assnred of having my most distinguished consideration

district, Thomas b. Reed, Of Portland:
second district, Nelson Dingley, Jr, OF

nominated by their partya
Labor-for governor, Isaac G. Clark. Of

party has county tickets in three counties.
Prohibition-For governor, Aaron Clark,

district, William H. Foster, Of Iivermore
Falls; Third district, Luther g. Bateman.
of Searsmount; Fourth district. Nolney II.
Cushing, Of Bangor The Prohibitionists
have county tickets in eight counties.
The vote in the First district in 1888 was

500; Robert A. Williams, 6. Reeds plu.
rality, 2,433- In the Second district Ding
ley had 5,46S plurality over Allen. la the
Third district Milliken had 6,53l plurality.
Boutelle had 4,945 plurality over n !
Stewart in the Fourth district. The fip.
ures on the gubernatorial election in 1888
gave Burleigh tRep) lS,05f more than the
Democratic nominee received.
Speaker Reed will undoubtedly be re-
elected by 1000 or 200 plurality. His dis
trlct IS a close one, but it has elected a
Democrat to congress but once ia thirty
years, and although Mr.. Reed has had two
very close rubs the average Republican
plurality In the district In the last five
elections, including three presidential
years. has been little under / 200. In 1sss
the plurality was over 2, 700
The Republicans have had n tboroneh
organization and arc making every effort
TO get ont their entire vote Speaker
Reeds private secretary, an experienced
politician, has been on the ground for
weeks in personal charge of the campaign.
There has been more speaking on the part
Of the Republicans in this district this
year than In any other.
Mr.. Reeds friends say they will be salts
fed with / 500 plurality, but some OF the
sanguine really expect more. From the
estimates obtainabie it is doubtful if it ex-
eeeds ], 200, and may fall below that. There
IS much apparent indifference, and it IS
thought the vote will be lighter than usual.

The Tariff Bills Last Days in
the Senate. -
wORKON THE NICARAUGUACANAL

Over 1900 Men Are at Work and the
Construction of the Canal Proper Is
Well Under way-The Elements Even
Favor the Great Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The senate will
dispose OF the tariff bill this week. Today
is being devoted to debate on the sugar
schedule and the reciprocity proposition
under the thirty minute rule. The agree
ment is that a final vote on the bill will be
taken Tuesday. The chances are, however,
that vote will not be had before Wednes-
day or Thursday, and it may be that some
further time will be allowed for general
debate. There is no doubt that the bill
will pass, the expectation being that tho
sivision on the final vote will be on strict
party lines Mr.. Frye will probably ask
the senate to agree to the conference report
on the river and harbor bill. If there is
any disposition to debate the report il viii
90 over until the tariff bill has been dis
posed of. Mr.. Plumb has given notice that
he will call up the conference report on the
land grant forfeiture bill when the tariff
bill is out Of the way, and Mr.. Sawyer has
announced his intention to ask immediate
consideration for the anti-lottery bill. IL
Is probable that before the end of the week
sae steering committee will arrange a
new order of business.
They VIII Seat the Negroes.
Tuesday the contested election case of
Langston against Nenable from the Fourth
district of Virginia will be called up in
the house and it will be Immediately fol-
lowed by the case of Miller against Elliott
from the Seventh district of South Caro-
lima. The Republican members OF the
committee on elections have declared In
favor OF Messrs. Langston and Miller, both
negroes, and it is safe TO say that they will
be seated, although Gen Malone. il is un-
deFstood, is opposed to the seating OF
Langston, and some breaks among the
republicans may occur in the vote on this
case. In every contested election case that
has been before the house this session the
house has sustained the majority OF the
elections committee. The conference re-
port on the general deficiency bill is ex
pected before the end of the week. aud it
Is possible that the tariff bill will come
from the senate. There is but little dfspo-
sition on the part of the Democrats to de-
lay the bill, and it will probably be re-
ferred 90 the committee on ways and
means under the rules, reported back with

LONDON, Sept. 6.--One Of the minor in
cidental results OF the late Trades Union
congress at Liverpool Is Il readjustment
Of the relative ranking OF the great labor
leaders in the estimation Of their followers.
Hitherto John Burns was unquestionably
prominent, and he had come TO be re-
garded as little short Of infallible. His
fame rested upon his phenomenal success
as an organizer Of men and as a manager
Of strikes. But throughout the congress
his conduct WAS marked by an unreason-
able obstinacy In small matters, aud by a
domlneering manner which led to frequent
disagreeable scenes. 1t became very evi-
dent TINT the very qualities which ft him
20 conduct ight against capital unfit him
for deliberation and discussion on abstract
questions Of general policy. On the other
hand, Ben. Tillest and Tom Mann. who
have always yielded the supremacy to
Burns, easily proved themselves his su-
periors in debate aud counsel Burns
friends now say thRt he himself realizes
that his strength lEs in another direction;
that this WAS his first experience in such
a convention and that as he is entirely
unseltish in his devotion TO the cause ne
will hereafter rest content with his leader
ship in the actual battlefield, leaving the
honor Of debate b his colleagues.
