KNIGHTS OF PYTHiAs.

Ihe Grand Encampmcnt mt Kansas City
Was II Great Success-Sword Thrusts.
The indications that the encampmcnt of
the uniformed rank of Kansas ('itv this
year would outstrip any meeting held in
the past. and as TO a civic body in uni
form would eclipse anything ever held in
this country. were gloriously fulfilled
General Carnahan, on the occasion of his
visit to Kansas City, stated that there
would he from 1900 to 10000 uniformed
knights Mt the encanpment That state
ment was made year and hnlf ago, and
while the generals army of Sir Knights
are scattered into every state and territory
and the provinces Of Canada, it seems ne
knew his men and their willingness and
desire to assemble OH occasions of this kind.
There is no doubt that General John c.
Loper.i brigade commander of the Iowa
uniformed rank, Is of p, is one of the most
popular brigadier generals of the uni
formed rank.
AT the supreme encampment the re,i-
ments of the uniformed rank were made TO
conform to the United States army revu.
iations as to battalions. divisions, officers.
etc.
General j. II. Lyon, commander of the
Kansas brigade, uniformed rank, K. of P.
is hustler and deaeryedly popular as a
brigader general.
There were two mounted or cavalry divi-
sions mt the grand encanpment-one from
Chicago and the other from Sioux CITY. Ia.
These divisions own their own horses and
equipments, and their uniform differs from
the foot Sir Knights in that instead of a
dress coat they wear the short jacket of
the cavalrymen and a saber instead of
dress sword. The division at Sioux CITY
is mounted on pure white horses, the one
at Chicago on dark bays.

Rats Caused the Fire.

An alarm of FIRE was turned in last
night at o:So, from the corner of Eighth
avenue and second street. which was
responded to by the Vigilant Fire Com
pany. A second alarm, few minutes
later, brought the Friendship company
upon the scene of action. The fire was
on Third street, in the residence of j. R.
Terry, and was extinguished with
small loss to the building.
After the fire was over it was discov-
cred that it originated in closet that
opens into the dining room. Upon
shelf in this closet was found box of
matches that had been upset among
some papers on the shelf, and it is sup.
posed that rats ignited them. The
greatest loss is from water. Just what
it will be could not be ascertained with
any degree OF certainty but the house
and furniture are fully insured.

WORK ON THE SEWERS.

Hands.

The Contractor Annoyed by IA Scarcity of
Hands.
The report that was circulated yester-
day TO the effect that work on the Salem
avenue sewer had been stopped in order
to test the cement is without found alton.
The city required a proportion to be used
that contained one-t third of cement, but
while this is being tested the contractors
are going ahead with the work, using
proportion containing one-half instead
of one.third OF cement. The workmen
are cementing and paving the bottom of
the sewer with vitrified brick, and an
experienced engineer is present all the
time to see that the work is properly
done. A few feet of the arch is con-
structed, and work on it will be pushed
so as to keep up with the PAYERS. A
force of forty men is working on the
sewer and the work is carried on night
and day. The pumping engine ran all
last night and the force Of PAYERS did
not stop work until relieved by tho day
hands.
One hundred and fifty feet OF the
twenty four inch terra Gotta sewer has
been laid and about fifteen hundred
feet excavated. Work on this is being
pushed as rapidly as possible by force
of one hundred and twenty five hands.
On The Norfolk avenue sewer there is
now force OF thirty eight men at work.
About two hundred and fifty feet have
been excavat I'd up to last night. The ex-
cavation is carried as close to the track
of the Vinton electric line as.possible,
but as the sewer will extend to the CEN
ter OF the track it will be impossible to
finish it until the track is removed.
This will be done just as soon as the
large force that is now at work on the
new track from Woodland park com
pletes it to Jefferson street at the inter.
section Of Campbell,
The work of Gxcavating has only been
in progress for two days on Henry street
and q distance of about two hundred
feet Is partially cleared. A force of
thirty men. mostly Polanders, is at work
on it. Tho contractors are anxions to
complete the sewer work as soon as may
be. They say that they ire delayed to
some extent by q scarcity of labor, and
that they hire every hand that can be
had

North Carollna.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
The Raleigh correspondent OF the
baltimore American starts recent
letter with the assertion that North
Carolina will probably cast her eleven
electoral votes for Harrison and Reed,
and then in column and halt tells
what else he does not know OF the
situation in North Carolina. One very
amusing feature of his effort Is the
capital for the Republicans he essays
to make out Of the fact that North
Carolina is an old Wing State, and a
strong Union sentiment EXISTED there
before the war" The joke attaching to
this venable political chetnut is that
there are no truer men in the old North
State than the North Carolina Wings.
As rule they didn't spit any fire before
the war, and they haven't eaten any
dirt since.

Whenever man reaches that frame
of mind that he can't content himself
with sitting around, with nothing to do
and no desire to do anything, with no
interest in the community of which he
is part, much less in the great world be-
yond, the time has come when he should
order his coffin and adjourn to the ceme-
terry. He will never be missed, and the

A REMEpY FOR LABOR TROUBLES.

The Hon. Chauncey f. Black, OF
Pennsylvania. has reviewed the labor
troubles at Homestead with sympa-
thetic feeling for the workingman's side
of the con troversy. Mr.. Black thinks a
remedy might possibly be found for
such CONFLICTS by permitting the incor-
poration Of labor organizations on the
same plan as the incorporation of Or
Ronizations of oapitsl.
The Homestead situation is liable to
be reproduced at any other place in the
country where multitudes of men are
terprises. The people of the United
States and their governments, State and
Federal, are in danger of being plunged
into violent conflicts, not Of their own
making, and in which they have no in
terest other than the maintenance of
the public peace.
The duty Of the State in tho largo
sense is not limited to the suppression
OF mobs. 1t is confronted by the higher
duty Of preventing mobs, OF depriving
mobs of all decent excuse for existence,
and of removing the grievances which
In labor controversies are alleged as
their occasion. Whether these griev-
ances exist or not must be submitted to
some other arbitrement than that of
clubs and guns, hot water, electric
batteries and dynamite, in the very near
future, if peace is to be kept<in the
land.
Overgrown and transgressing cprpra-
tions offending against the public, Which
created and protects them, should be

forfeited, and at the same time a new
class OF corporations in the interest of
labor might be invited and encouraged
in American. Suppose, for instance,
that the "Amalgamated Association"
or, to present smaller subdivision, the
iron and steel workers of Homestead,
incorporated for the purpose of furnish
ing labor. This corporation contracts
with Mr.. Frick for given amount OF
work of given character.
The corporation deals with the men,
Mr.. Prick does not. 1t collects wages
and in turn pays dividends. 1t employs
and dismissed, or admits to its member
Ship and expels. 1t hears and redressos
grievances. Its. existence manifestly
renders sue b outbr oaks as the one I'm.
der consideration almost On impossible
ity, since the men manage their own
corporation and their own business in
their own way. 1t is a counterpart of
the capitalist corporation which con-
fronts 1T. 1t will sue and be sued; it
will collect damages or pay them; it
will prosper or not, as other corpora
tions do.
