suited that in a few years only the most
intelligent of these workers-those most
capable of working in unity-remained
IN the association, all others being
screened out by natures process OF
Survival of the fttest.
In the general movement toward la
Dor organization which followed the
war these men, by their experience and
native talent, gained great influence,
and on Dec. %, 1869, seven picked men
out of the whole number organized a
new order in the house of Joseph 5.
Kennedy on Green street, and on motion
of James L. Wright named it the
Knights of Labor. By common consent
the chief honor is accorded to Uriah S.
Stephens, the first grand master work
man by regular election. The year 1871
began with but sixty-nine members in
the order. Then the organization of
local assemblies began, the ship car
penters and caulkers at Cramps yard
on the Delaware being the first to or
ganize.
By the close of that year twenty
trades in Philadelphia had organized
and affiliated with the Knights. The
first general assembly was held at Read

Premiums to Agriculturists.

The republic of Paraguay, to induce
immigration and secure the develop
ment Of the land. has offered some very
generous premiums to agricultural col
onists. 1t agrees to give eighteen pre-
miums, ranging from $1,000 to 1925, fol-
the cultivation Of tobacco, three pre-
miums of $4,000 for the cultivation OF
coffee estates containing $4,000 plants,
two premiums of $5, 900 each for the cul-
tivation of eighty squares of sugar cane,
two premiums of $4,000 for the cultiva-
ton of $4,000 cotton plants, and a pre-.
MUM of $4,000 to whoever cultivates
Is, 900 Brazilian banana plants Thirty
two other premiums of s., 900 and $10,0 0C
are offered for the cultivation of rice,
mani, alfalfa Qucerne), maize, Brazilian
banana plants, ranie. orange trees,
lemon plants, grapevines and indigo
and for the establishment of sugar
mill, alcohol distillery, steam sawmill,
wine factory, factory manufacturing
general cloth made from raw materials
of the country, factory for the extrac.
ton of textile fbers in general, factory
of cooking oil, factory for the prepare
ton of preserved fruits, a cigar factory
and a manioc -four factory.

deliberately carved. The plan was drawn
by Architect Jarvis Hunt, of Weathers-
field, and the expense of the building is
borne by 100 prominent citizens of the
state, who have contributed 500 each.
The main entrance will be through an
elaborate portico, and the interior will
be finished in way to exhibit every va
riety of stone in the state. On this point
the designers are quite enthusiastic.
Like most state buildings, it is chiefly
for social purposes, but there will be a
few remarkable curiosities on view in it.
In the main exposition building Vermont
will have that whale skeleton which
was found few years ago near Lake
Cha,nplain, 200 miles from the sea and
ninety feet above the sea level. Animals
and birds peculiar to the state will also
be shown, and over 1000 varieties of
plants and flowers.

ing, Pa, Jan. /, 1878, and a national
constitution was adopted. In 1879 thir-
teen states were represented at st. Louis.
The next September Mr.. Powderly was
elected grand master workman, and
since that date the average outside read
Ell of the papers has occasionally failed
to distinguish between his acts and those
of the order. In 1857 the order grew
with such extraordinary rapidity that it
was popularity supposed to number a
million members. Then came the schism
at Minneapolis in 1887.
The history of the movement inside
the Knights of Labor is briefly as fol-
lows: In August, 1887, Mr.. Powderly
sent out circular in which he proposed
a thorough reorganization, in which
each separate trade was to be self gov
erning, with its independent local, dis
trict, state and national assemblies, all
to join in sending delegates to the gen
eral assembly of the Knights, and no
local assembly to order a strike until
the highest executive authority had re-
ported in favor Of it by a three-fourths
vote.
Following this came series of re-
volss, and the order declined till it con
tanned probably but 100000 members.
Mr. Powderly then turned to the Farm
ers' Alliance, and by a series of mastery
movements started the order again on
a healthy advance. In 1891 the general
assembly at Denver voted for political
action, and Mr.. Powderly issued cir
cular directing preparations to take part
in the campaign of 1892.
Terence Vincent Powderly was born
of Irish parents at Carbonate, Pa, Jan.
90, 1S49. He learned the trade of ma
chinist and located in Scranton, of which
city he was elected mayor in 1878, 1886
and 1882. His home is still in that city,
where he has wife, but no children.
His present office is entitled general
master workman, and the salary is $5. 900
per year. The term has been changed
from one year to two, and he has been
elected ten times. besides being sent to
the worlds fair of 1859, at Paris, as
representative of the order.
Mr.. A. w. Wright, who is said to have
some prospects of succeeding Mr.. Pow
derby, is a native of Canada, but at pres
ent resident of Philadelphia. He has
been newspaper man for most of his
adult life, and besides editing The Jour-
nal of United Labor has written on
various subjects over the pen name of
.sSpokeshave." He is to be carefully
distinguished from Mr.. James A.
Wright, whose abilities as speaker,
especially in clearness of statement,
have made him general lecturer of the
order.
b Mr.. John W. Hayes, general secretary
and treasurer of the order, and also
spoken of for first place, is native of
New Jersey, and was brakeman and
telegraph operator till he lost one arm
in a railroad accident.
Mrs. Leonora Barry is probably the
most prominent, woman in the order,
and is known to the reading public as
the lady who went to the last Paris ex-
position with delegation of working
women from the west.
In conclusion it may be said that the
indications point to an organization for
future political action, the Pennsylvania
delegation having already taken very
decided ground in favor of it.

Practical Improvement.

The practice Of improving ones self in
some useful art without an intention to
become professional, SO to speak, is
much more widely followed than is real
lied. The technical schools that are
springing up everywhere are patronized
by many amateurs who care for only
enough skill to do for themselves. Many
women are thus learning millinery and
dressmaking, wood carving, and the
like. In London it is possible to take a
short course in floral decorations as a
means to satisfactorily indulge ones gar
dening propansities.-N York Times.

600, and that it has since entered on an
other era of growth. 1t is now, so far
as The outsiders eye can see, approach
ing another crisis in its career, and the
approaching general assembly, which
wifi convene in St. Louis on the 18th,
must apparently decide the issues which
will determine the character and des-
tiny OF the order for many years, if not
permanently.
Stated broadly, the most important
matter for discussion viii be the attitude
OF the order toward politics, especially
the new movements in various sections.
1t is pressed upon the order by the prom
inent-part recently taken by such lead
ers as Powdarly, Hayes, Wright, Devlin
and others in the Peoples party move
ment, and as usual before every meeting
of the general assembly there is some
talk about the retirement of General
Master Workman Powderly and the
choice of his successor, but it is notice
able that the opposition to him is less
noisy or rather less bitter than at sew
eral previous assemblies, and along with
this fact the statement is made by many
of the orders spokesman that Mr.. Pow
derby now wishes to retire, provided he
can do SO with dignity. In this con-
nection A. W. Wright, member of the
general executive board, and John w.
Hayes, general secretary and treasurer
of the order, are spoken of as eligible
for the Office of general master workman.
Each one of the gentlemen has large
following. and is said to be abundantly
qualified to ELL the Office acceptably.

A Building That Does Honor to the Green

Not the least of the sights at the Co

buildings, as many states have en-
deavored to make their structures typ

marble from her own quarries, chiefly
from those at West Rutland.

the civil war Of 1875 caused Ameri-
cans to ignore the fact that the bloodiest
war in modern history was in progress
in China, and the great rebellion was
suppressed at an estimated cost in bat
tie and massacre of 7,000,000 lives.
The Chinese emperor is so secluded
that Viceroy Lii became real ruler. He
advocated liberal policy in everything
except religion, granted concessions for
railroads and telegraphs, including the
famous one to Count Mitkiewicz, and
put down rebellion with fierce energy.
But he does not like the missionaries,
and it is suspected that he secretly IA
vored the recent outrages on them. In
the first stages of his madness, it is said,
he slapped foreign ambassadors in the
face, insulted all officials who came near
him, and by refusing his official duties
threw the whole administration into
confusion,
