WORSE THAN WHITE-OAPIsM.

The Dissertation of soldiers graves
seems to have assumed an epidemic
form in Indiana. Since the election it
has broken out in three counties so far
removed from one another as to compel
the conclusion that each case is a sepa-
rate manifestation. Whether the later
outbreaks were caused by published re-
ports of the earlier ones, or whether all
were spontaneous expressions of a COM
mon feeling is a matter of doubt. All
we know lie that in three different coun-
ties exultant Democrats have celebrated
their recent victory by Decorating the
graves of Union soldiers, painting head
stones and monuments red, and daubinR
American flags the same way. In some
instances handsome monuments have
been completely ruined. In every case
the work has been done at night, show
ing that those who did it knew how
dastardly it was and sought the cover
of darkness.
There is no installing the meaning of
this outbreak of partisan malignity-this
new species of White-capism towards the
Union dead. 1t is a revival of the
spirit of copperheadism that shot
recruiting officers, resisted the draft and
encouraged desertion during the war.
1t is an outbreak of the spirit originally
implanted in Indiana from the slave
States that has made half its population
not only willing, but happy. to be a tail
to the solid South. 1t is a stream that
flows from the rock which the Repub-
lican party has been trying for thirty
years to break, with but partial success.
1t is Indiana Democracy rampant.
Nothing has ever occurred in the State
more disgracefult to its people than these
deliberate dissertations of the graves of
Union soldiers. White-capism in its
worst form was not as disgraceful, for
that at least claimed as a pretext the
punishment of alleged misdeeds or the
driving away of worthless characters.
But this new White capism has no pre-
text and no p~alliation. 1t is an unpro-
voked expression of unmitigated ma
Lightly, a deliberate and premeditated
demonstration of diabolism, and has put
a stigma on the State that will be heard
of beyond its borders many years hence.
When men wonder why Indiana should
not have voted for the reelection of
Benjamin Harrison it will be replied:
"Ah, that is the State where they cele-
brate Democratic victories by desecrat-
ing the graves of Union soldiers"

MASTER WORKMAN PowDERLY.

The election of Mr.. Powderly to the
leadership of the knights o Labor after
holding the position so many years, by
a practically unanimous vote. is a sig
n~ificant tribute to his capacity. True,
the Knights of Labor as an Organiza-
ton lie not what it once was. The or
ganization of the trades and the hostility
between the two organizations, with the
internal discussions among the knights,
has greatly weakened that once numeri-
cally powerful body. Mr.. Powderly
has made errors and has championed
several rash acts of subordinates, yet,
first and last, his exertions have not
been without good results. He is a man
of exemplary life, and if all the men,
beers of his organization had followed
his advice the evils OF i~ntemperance
and the waste of liquor-drinRing wonld
be reduced to a minimum. In his
efforts to strengthen his organization
he has sacrificed public confidence
by acquiescing in the ridiculous
financial heresies of the Weaver party.
Still. with oil these drawbacks, many
intelligent people will be glad to know
of his reelection to the leadership of
the knights of Labor at the present
time, particularly that there are indica-
tions here and there that fresh efforts
will be made to restore to the %Organiza-
ton something of its old membership
and prominence. While the Knights of
Labor can never again reach the phe-
nomenal membership it attained in a
brief period a few years ago there is
no reason why, upon the cardinal prin-
ciples of the organization, it may not
command q much larger membership
than it has, with a harmony of action
which will make it vastly more iRfu-
entail than it was in the height of the
power which its marvellous but unreli-
able membership gave it. There is rea-
son to believe that during the next few
years conditions may arise which will
test the power and the wisdom
both of labor organizations and of
those who employ labor. If the same
fell spirit shall dominate employers and
labor organizations which has brought
loss, violence and distress to Homestead,
there is a dismal season before the coun-
try pending a readjustment of produc-
ton to q new tariff system. If, on the
other hand, differences shall be discussed
In a spirit of fairness, aud leaders and
employers can see that the interests of
both lie in peaceful adjustments and
reasonable negotiation, little trouble
need be a~pprehended. MIR. Powderly
has often shown that he possesses such
qualities. He has oftener been a pacifi-
Gator than an a~gitator.

WHAT DOES IT E A

The Knights of Labor at St. Louis
adopted a resolution declaring that cit
is the sense of this General Assembly
of the knights of Labor that the out
come of the recent tremendous struggle
at Homestead is deplorable, but it has
been of far-reaching results i'll settling,
temporarily, at least, great economic
questions" This evidently refers to
the presidential election. and assumes
that the Homestead strike had a consid-
cradle influence in deciding the contest.
This is doubtless true, and yet, preju-
dice aside, every intelligent working
man must admit that there was no poll
tics in the Homestead affair, and that it
ought not to have had any influence on
the election, mi way or another. The
fact remains, however, that it did, which
goes to prove that prejudice is often
more potent than reason. Great aggre-
cations of capital will continue to exist
in this country after Carnegie and Prick
are dead and gone, and after all the
knights of Labor now living have
turned to dust. No form of govern
ment and no economic policy can pre-
vent it. No doubt, also. labor troubles
will continue to exist and be used by
political demagogues to promote their
own interests and deceive the people.
The main difference between 1892 and
1892 in these respects will be that a hun
dred years hence these conditions will
be more pronounced than they are now.
What effect they will have on the poll
tics of that day and what kind OF a gov
be disclosed. 1t depends largely on
whether the people learn to be governed
by reason and intelligence rather than
by prejudice and class hatred.
1t will be noticed that the resolution
adopted by the Knights of Labor de-
clared that the Homestead trouble had
been "of f~ar-reaching results in settling,
temporarily, at. least, great economic
questions" 1t would have contributed
materially TO a clearer understanding of
things ii they had stated what great
economic questions have been even tenn
porarily settled by the Homestead strike
or the presidential election. The allu-
sion seems to be to the tariff question,
but it 10 absurd to say that is settled.
even temporarily. In fact, it is more
unsettled now than it has been for a
long time. The Democrats are at war
among themselves as to what their vic
tory means and what their future policy
shall be. The only thing settled is that
it will be one of unsettlement. If the
knights of Labor really think the cleo
ton of Cleveland has settled any eco
nomic question. the Journal predicts
that they will experience a very rude
awakening from their pleasant dream
before two years have passed.

pon,t Believe in Calamity w.,IIuv.

CONCORD, N. H.. Nov. 22.-At the Ma
tional Grange meeting to-day the lectur-
er's report was taken up and Mr.. Reardon
protested against the statement in relation
TO Kansas. He claimed he could raise
wheat at a profit of 81 an acre If he re-
celved 81 cents u bushol for his wheat. He
stated that farming In Kansas paid; that
Kansas farmers were prosperous and that
the figures of the national lecturer were
calculated to do injury. DR.. Clardy said
that Kentucky farmers were prospering
and that 1t was not always well to cry
about calamity. Mr.. Working, OF Nebraska,
replied in support of the lecturers report.
Mr.. Willie, of Ohio. deprecated the alleged
misleading wording Of the report. and was
followed by Worthy Master Brigham In a
strong arraignment of the lecturers POSI-

to break away from it and go to the
cities and towns. 1t needs no argument
to prove that this is a most undesirable
state Of affairs and a movement which
every well-wisher of the country ought
to wish to see checked. Whatever
makes against it should be encouraged,
and it is plain the influence of local
libraries would be in that direction.
The companionship of books would
tend to mitigate the monotony of farm
life and open mp avenues of mental oc-
cupation and activity that would make
young people in the country much better
satisfied with their environments. In
deed, it is impossible to estimate the
benefits that would inure to jewellers in
the rural districts, young and old, from
a well-sustained system of township
libraries. Such a system could be made
an educational power second only to the
free school system.

THE plan of the soldiers monument
provides for deliberately built fountains
on the east and west sides, the stone
work of which is one of the most orna-
mental features of the structure. The
rough stone of the walls of those sides,
as they now stand, shows that the work
is Incomplete, and gives the monument
an unfinished look, but the grading GO
ing on and the removal of all unused
stone indicate that the building of
the fountains is to be postponed iudefi-
nitely. This should not be. Unless
the appropriation is exhausted, which is
not shown to be the case, there can be
no good reason for delay in this part of
the work. and it should go on without
interruption until finished. In regard
to the groups of figures, where artistic
competition is necessary in order to Sc
cure the best. delay is justifiable and
proper, but the fountains are already
designed and need only competent tot
cutters to complete them. If the
structure is not finished, with the ex-
ception of the groups, by lifetime of the

A NEWSPAPER PALsBHOOD.

1.-THE Harrison administration found
800, 600. 900 in the treasury and leaves it
with a deficit of 500. 600, 0Oo." So shout
the New York World and the New York
Herald. and 80 repeats the Democratic
crossroads organf from Maine to Texas.
1t is a falsehood, and a falsehood which
is a SANDER. When Mr.. Cleveland went
ont of Office there was a surplus of
800, 0O0. 900 because he did not use it in
paying off the public debt. Half of this
surplus was deposited in favored banks,
for which no interest was received, but
which the banks loaned TO the people at
from 8 to s per cent. When General
Harrison became President this money
was withdrawn from the banks as rapid
ly as possible apd used In the payment
of the interest bearing debt. During
the first three years of President Harri-
sons term S296. 316, 931.20 was paid out
in the redemption of $3.50. 093. $50 inter-
ison became President the annual in
terest charge of the government was
S34. SIS, 459. so. June 1. 1892, the interest
charge was S22, 1913. $500. Here is an
annual saving on the interest account
of gil. 6S4, 57S.6O. or a little more than
one-third since Mr.. Cleveland left Office
IN 1889. The revision of the tariff took
nearly $50, 0OO. 900 a year from the rev.
enue, while the pension charges have
been increased both by the old laws and
the act of July, 1890. There is no def
cheney in the treasury, and there would
not have been any danger of it if the
revenues derived from the tariff had not
materially fallen off during the past two
weeks, presumably because importers
are not certain what course to pursue.
