MIR. powDEnLv's SCHEME.
The Master worhman's Address to the
knights.


At the general assembly. OF the
Knights Of Labor, in session at 81.
Louis, No, Grand Master Workman
Powderly last week delivered his an
uual address. He began by reviewing
the history of the labor movement and
said there had been great waste of vital
force and means. He thought every
branch of trade should be enrolled in
the order, and congratulated the mem
bers on the gratifying result OF the
agitation for ballot reform, but laws
should be passed rendering itimpossi-
BILE for any citizen to vote who can not
read his ballot. He then continued.
"Much space was devoted to the
question of immigration. Some six
years ago your general master work
man declared that he was in favor of
the restriction of immigration. The
views then expressed we're not received
with favor by the order, but his senti-
ments have not changed since then,
unless it be in the direction of a more
rigid exclusion of immigrants than he
then favored While the tide Of immi-
grafton floods on in an uninterrupted
stream there will be no dependence up
on short hour laws, no reliance on
wage scales, and there can be no pro-
lection to American labor that will
really keep the status Of the American
workman higher than that of his broth
er who lives under misrule.
Your general master workman has
no hesitation is saying that he fayors
the total exclusion of all immigrants
who are not self supporting on landing
in this country. He would fix term
of years-ten would be long enough
| during which time no immigration
should be allowed to land with a view
Of remaining unless he can prove that
he had sufficient meansto sustain him.
self for one year. | forsee great
danger to the whole country if the
immigration question is not carefully
and heroically met in the future.
ut may sound well to assert that we
have room for all the world; that il
would be un-American, that it would
be un- Christian to debar others from
our benefits. There is less danger in
debarring them from these benefits
than there is in the fact that they may
take the enjoyment of these benefits
from all of US. II is not to the interest
of the immigrant, or those who pre-
ceeded him, to land him here without
money or friends, and without 8
knowledge of the conditions he must
face in his struggle for bread. 1t is
not because he can not earn a liveli
hood in his own land that the foreigner
comes here; it is because greed has
taken deeper root. We can well afford
to aid the European in batting dowr
the institutions which confront him al
home, better than to reduce our owl
workmen to IA worse condition thar
that of those abroad who are looking t
this land for relief"

A correspondent of the Deckertown
Independent says a short time ago
glib stranger made his appearance at
Newton and claimed to represent
large New York custom tailor firm. He
carried a number Of samples and he
agreed to make up clothes from like
cloth at very reasonable prices. All
that was required was cash deposit of
s. on a suit of clothes and 81 on pair
of trousers or an overcoat, He did n

he scooped in is known only to him
self. lie left the address of the firm
he was with and then left himself to
have the orders filed. The clothes
were to be here one day last week but
business was so brisk that the orders
could not be filled at the time specified,
One of the party who patronized him
by putting up So in advance for a suit
of clothes went down to the city to
hurry them up little. He called at
the address left by the agent and found
that it was liquor store and that the
alleged agent had scooped in quite
some dollars without working very
hard for it.

TO LEAD LIVES OF SHAME
Two LehIghton Girls Break the Hearts Of
Parents and FrIends.

Two LehIghton Girls Break the Hearts Of
Parents and Friends.
With feelings of the deepest regret
and with only the kindliest commisser-
alton for their parents, relatives and
friends do we note the downfall of two
of this towns young girls, who reared
in all respectability treated with love
and respect by parents and relatives,
have forsaken home and all else that
should be dear to them to lead lives of
shame and sin. Several weeks ago the
girls left home and what followed we
will tell just as the Pottsville Chronicle
on Monday gives it:
"Blanche Meyers and Hattie Eek, the
former of Philadelphia and the latter
Of Lehighton, aged 10 and II years re-
spectiyely, were arrested at midnight
by Officer Deegan and placed in the
lookup charged with being common
nuisances. They we're given ahearing
before Squire Hill this morning after
which they we're committed to jail.
These girls despite their youth, have
been leading lives of shame and degra-
dation here for about a week past.
They were notified by the police sever
al days ago to leave town. They did 80
but returned on Saturday.
Miss Eek is refined in her manners,
while her companion possesses traits
of an opposite character The former
is quite performer on the piano aud
is a good singer She was evidently a
society girl previous to her recent es-
capade. She says her mother is dead
and her father is locomotive engineer
at Lehighton.-Pottsville Chronicle.
The same girls held down this town
for several days and their actions be
came so bad that the police chased them
from the city. Hazleton Standard.

THE COUNTRY STILL SAFE.

Our Old Friend BroadbTim Drops Us
Line Over the Late Election.
The cyclone of Tuesday means some
thing more than passing victory. It
means such radical change in the ad-
ministration as the government has not
known for thirty years, That excellent
battle cry, civil service reform, which
has amused, if not instructed, both
parties for generation, will now have
smore liberal Interpretation accorded
to II than it has hitherto received, and
the hungry coherts of waiting patrols
will find some way of filling the places
of the Republican officials who now
enjoy the favor Of the government.
But after the shock of the battle is
past, where is the American who does
not glory in his country Never since
the world began was seen such a won
derful and bloodless revolution, where
nearly seventy millions of people met
apparently in mortal strife. -Four
years ago next March Grover Cleve-
land handed over to his successor the
great ledgers of the republic, and
quietly and without ostentation, or ap.
pRrently even without regret, resumed
his station as private citizen.
On the fourth of March, 1893, the
same two gentlemen will occupy the
same carriage, and will ride up to the
capitol amid the shouts OF applauding
thousands-the outgoing president re-
ceiving as much attention as his sue
sessor, who will return the sceptre to
the man from whom he received it.
Meanwhile the nation rests serene,
satisfied that none but American citi-
zens are on guard, and whether Demo
Gratis OF Republicans they are jealous
Of the nations honor, anxious for its
prosperity, and hopeful for its future
greatness.
We may not yet have solYed the
solemn problem OF the perfection of
human government, but it is our be-
lief that in all the ages no other sys-
tenn has ever been discovered BY man
which so nearly approached the dream
Of our dead prophet, Of "a government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people" BROADBRIM.

TRE ORGANIZATION of Board of Health
in this town can not be to heartily com
mended. tits a move in the direction
Of caution and healthfulness. A wise
sagacious board of health can do much
to protect Lehighton and our people
from disease and pestilence. That is
what we want A clean, healthy, thriv-
ing town where the only thing that
kills will be old age. Every enterpris.
ing citizen will extend to the board of
health every courtesy and assistance
possible. The system of registering
deaths and marriages is also to be com
mended. The registry will be matter
Of vital public interest and benefit in
years to come. We can not too strong

people with this organization. The

Next in order under the new ballot
law is for the borough and township
auditors TO make themselves familiar
with the new law, because it will be
theirofilcial duty to provide the bal
lots in their respective districts for the
February election, just as the commits
sioners provided them for the county.
or course, the ballots will be much
smaller than the "blanket," but they
must be according TO official form and
provided within limited time.
Heretofore the Office of borough or
township auditor was not held in very
high esteem, as it required only days
work or so each year to audit the ac-
counts OF the officers. This, however,
does not apply to Foster, Luzerne,
where the auditors have yet been un-
able to make report of the financial
condition, but as a general rule the
Office was not considered a very big
plum in the past.
These official now find themselves
suddenly invested with a great deal OF
authority and a great deal more re
sponsibility. Certificates Denomination
and nomination papers must be filed
with them by the different parties OF
independent candidates within a spe

A Reelection or Two Following the Battle
of Ballots.
Is The success of the Democratic
candidates in Carbon county on Tues
day, Nov. sth, is a criterion of what is
to follow, and proves TO our minds that
the differences heretofore existing be
tween the two factions have been ad-
justed, and that Esserite and anti.
Esserite exist only in name. This is as
it should be, for a party like the Demo
cratic party of Carbon, and having
such a small working majority cannot
afford to get pickering or quarreling
among themselves for the benefit Of
the enemy. We think that both parties
or factions have made mistakes, and
are glad to note that they see the error
Of their way and are pulling together.
