THE PASSING OF powDERLY.


A great man has fallen. Terrence
Vincent Powderly, general master
workman of the Knights of Labor, has
been compelled to relinquish his Office
owing to dissensions within the organi-
zation, and will no longer exercise
directing influence upon that organza-
tion, the most powerful association of
its character that has ever existed.
What the consequences of his deposition
may be time alone can determine.
Mr.. Powderly has devoted his life's
energies to the work OF organizing
labor into compact and forceful body,
and the elevation Of the workingmen
to position of commanding influence
i'll industrial, social and political affairs.
He was one of the chief organizers of
the Knights of Labor. He saw that the
rights Of the class would be ignored so
long as efforts to attain them were con-
fined &c desultory attacks upon the en-
ploying class by means of local strikes,
which often lacked in compactness and
sometimes were so ill-considered as to
ALLEVIATE from the strikers the sympathy
of the community. He with others
brought majority of the trades associa-
tions and unions ogether-consolidate
them, as it were, into one army, each
division pledged to sustain all the others
in their efforts to light the wrongs un-
der which they suffered. and to better
their condition individually and col
lectively. There was central directing
agency, of which Powderly was chosen
chief.
The knights grew in numbers and in
huence. 1t was sometimes difficult to
restrain the turbulent and impractical.
bic spirits that forced themselves to the
'front.' But III the framing of the con-
stltutlon and bylaws of the order Pow
derly TOOK care that there should be a
court OF final appeal to which all dis
| putes should be referred for settlement.
and the decision of this court should be
absolute. The chief justice of this
court, and practically the court itself
1or all other members were his creatures
was the general master workman him
SELF. His powers were despotic, and
the manner in which he exercised them
In some instances was calculated TO
| AWAKEN dlScontent and resentment. AS
rule, his judgments were wise, and
dictated oy sInceSe desire to benefit
those whose interestSShe was chosen to
serve. AS was inevitaEse, however, he
found that the disputes arising betwee n
employers aud employees were not al
ways one-Sided-that sometimes the en-
ployers had right on their side, while
the Knights Of Labor were mapifestly
St. Paul daily globe., 1893-11-28

! undertaking to make an unjust use of
their power. Again, there were many
| hot-headed members of the ergafiza-
tion who plunged headlong into strikes
! when they might be avoided-wl en-
better results might be attained and the
j interests of all parties be better served
by means of arbitration. He sought to
prevent rather than to encourage
| strikes, and on that account incurred
the enmity Of that class of agitators
who profit most from strikes. They re-
solved upon his overthrow. At two
| successive conventions they made a
concerted attack upon him, but his infiu-
ence was paramount, and he triuinphed.
AT the recent assemblage at Phila-
delphia. however, he was overcome. 1t
is true that he succeeded in winning
reelection by a narrow majority, but
his associates in the executive depart
ment of the order were in opposition to
his policy, and, seeing before him moth
ing but contention and turmoil, he re-
signed his post.
Mr.. Powderly's administration of his
task has been an exceedingly difficult
one, requiring administrative abilities
of high order. The elements he had
to contend with were not always tract
able. Knowing their power, they some
times sought to exercise it arbitrarily
to become the oppressors rather than
the protestants against oppression. This
tendency Mr.. Powderly has songht to
check, and i'll his efforts has suffered
grave calumny. He has been accused
of playing into the hands of the capital
lists and betraying the trust reposed in
him. If guilty. he has certainly been
very adroit, for there is no act of his
that affords reasonable basis for such
all accusation. He has been charged
with too much timidity in dealing with
emergencies that have arisen. He has
certainly been conservative, and his
conservatism has been more manifest
as bis knowledge of industrial condi-
tions increased. He was originally an
agitator; of late he has been protector
of labor's rights. Like wise general,
he has refused to order an attack when
the chances of success were against him.
He has preferred to entrench his posi-
tion and await a favorable opportunity
for decisive advance.
The Knights of Labor will miss Mr..
Powderly'S counsel in the future. AS
able man may succeed him, yet he
will lack the experience that Mr.. Pow
derly has gained by his long years of
service. 1t is to be hoped that he will
be as earnest in the cause of labor as his
predecessor. aud that his course will be
as free from the suspicion of mercenary
motive. For every interest in the coun-
try depends to a large extent upon the
maintenance Of the dignity and indie
peIdence of the laboring classes, who
compose the bone and sinew of the ma
ton.

Every one has admired those
things OF beauty which modern
taste has devised as crown or
canopy to the Banquet and Pi-

not felt able to buy them.
Hitherto their cost has confined
them to those who, in addition
to the necessarytaste, had abun-

majority have had to content
themselves with lamp shades

occasional glimpse of one of
those radiant-co1ored g1ories

Charles Hoyts self styled musical
trifie. "a Trip to Chinatown" last
night drew the largest house seen in
weeks. Nothing less could he expected
from company which comes fresh
from New York city after run of over
six hundred consecutive performances.
Although the play has been here before,
yet st. Paul has never seen it in all it's
original beauty and with the same cast
and scenery which first made it famous.
AS i'll number of Hoyt's plays, the
characters are euphoniously named, for
instance, Welland Strong, the man with
one foot in the grave. Hoyt has moth
ing to complain of, for this coined
alone netted him over $4,000 in one
season, from which good idea of its
drawing qualities can be obtained.
Harry Conor as Welland Strong. and
George Beane Jr. as Ben Gay, have
made their respective parts what they:
now are, and the highest ambition of

Mr.. Conor's now famous "On the Bow

Clayton is pretty and novel. Not the
least taking feature is Harry Gilford's
limitations of things animal and other
wise. All the Fest of the players are
excellently well chosen and deserving
OF the highest praise. Most comedies of
this type contain something which is
either unsuitable for society audience
to hear or unpleasant for them to see.
1t is not so with this farce. There will
be three more performances, including
a Wednesday matinee.
The popular Irish comedian, Daniel
Sully, with an excellent company, will
begin an engagement of three nights
and two matineeS at the Metropolitan,

of people. Seats can now be secured at

Methods For Secret Correspondence.
At a trial in France 1t was shown that
the chemist Turpin, who is undergoing
five years imprisonment for treason,
made arrangements with a friend to carry
on secret correspondence. A letter from
the prisoner, giving the necessary direc-
tons to his friend, was read in court. An
official inquiry was made and some il
teresting information supplied by the
convicts. from which it was shown that
when private news is to be supplied to a
prisoner a formal letter, apparently on
tanning nothing of Importance. is sent.
This, being read by the governor, would
be passed on to the prisoner, who, under.
standing the missive. and that it was
only necessary TO read between the lines
written in milk, he could make this per-
fectly decipherable by rubbing it over
with q dirty finger or an old slipper. An
other ingenious form of secret correspond
ence consisted in leaving letters out of
words. as If the writer were illiterate.
The omitted letters put together formed
