THEY DID WELL,
When they Elected Master-W Workman
Sovereign, as the Head Of
the KNIGHTS of Labor.
An Indictment that will Make the
World Pause in its Mad
Career of DiViltry.

The following is q document prepared for q public
address by Gen. Master Workman Sovereign before he
was taken ill., It is only portion of the address, but
as public paper will take it's place among the most
powerful statements which have marked this revolu-
tionary age in human thought.
Sovereign's condemnation OF Cleveland and Car
Isle is wonderful and the philippe will be read by
the putocratc despots it may them to hesitate
before they urge the people into open rebellion:

document, which is q long one:
"The issuing Of bonds is an outrage upon liberty

Bonds and slavery are synonymous terms
"Recent authentic statistics prove that sum Of
nation must pass from the hands of the people of this
nation into the Golfers of the interest takers at least
once every six months, and that means that aver

For the GREAT WEST,
The Golden Calf.

In sacred scripture we are told
That Aaron formed calf Of gold;
You may be sure it had no blood:
It makes the modern Christian laugh,
To think that brilliant golden calf
Could neither raise nor chew his cud.
The calf might have a golden tail
As long as Kentucky rail;
Perhaps q noble pair of horns
But nothing in the Holy Book
Fer stated that the calf could hook,
Or run and leap hedge of thorns.
He could not bow his head to eat
The tender grass beneath his feet,
Nor wink his little, shining eyes.
He could not paw the dusty ground,
Nor below with hollow sound,
Nor switch his teil to scare the f1ies
The brokers own the golden calf,
And guard it with an iron staff,
With jealous care, both dark and grim.
They keep him in bankers vault,
Without an ounce of hay or salt,
And want all men to worship himl
LATHE.

Truth Shall Prevail.
Wisdom must now be a beggar,
And Folly be crowned the king:
Integrity languish in prison,
And Treachery fiddle and sing.

And Error now holds full sway;
But after the dark crucifxion.
The stone shall be soon rolled away.

How the PopuIists Would Vote.

WASHINGTON, May &c. W. Buttz,
who is accused OF attempting TO bride Sem
ators 10 vote against the tariff BILL was be-
fore the investigating committee to-day. He
gave the committee the name of Z. Z. Hol-
man. a claim attorney in this city, as one
who could throw light on the whole trans
action so far he (Buttz) was concerned.
Mr. Holman was summoned. Holman's tes-
timony furnished the key TO Buttz's expla-
nation of his course in the whole transact
ton. When he emerged from the committee
room Mr.. Holman said: MY mouth is
sealed as TO the proceedings in the COM
mittee room, but can say to you that that
story that was the principal in the bribery
affair is without foundation. 1t was through
pure accident that 1 CHANGED to know any
thing OF the business. and il came about
through my happening to be in the office
Of Major Harris one day when Mr.. BUTTE
came in. Harris was lobbyist. and the
talk drifted TO the tariff. L think / know
said Major Harris. where I could make
$4,000 $4,000 IL knew how the Popu-
lists would vote on the BILL and. turning
to Buttz, remarked to him: You are just
the man TO learn that fact, and will give
you $1,000 to find out for me- heard this
conversation, and suppose that is the rea-
son why 1 was summoned. / certainly had
no connection with any attempt at bribery
or lobbying on the bill. and I cannot afford
to have that impression concerning me go
out Mr.. Holman said that the man Har-
ris. who had made this proposition to Buttz
had died the 18th of last April and that
he was the only witness TO the conversation
between Harris and BUTTE Major Buttz's
testimony was devoted largely to an ex-
PLANTATION OF his absence from the city yes

q direct proposition to brfbe Senator Kyle,
and stated that his only purpose in ap-
preaching him was to learn how he would
vote. After he came out of the committee
room Major Butte said he had gone yester-
day to Loudon county, Virginia, to look
for witness, whom he did not find, and
had been detained there He declared his
intention Of remaining until the investiga-
tion concluded, and take the conse-
Quences, whatever they might be.
Senator Gray said to-day that he knew
of no other witnesses to call in this branch
of the inquiry, and that the report on the
alleged effort 10 bribe Senators Hunton and
Kyle would be prepared as soon as posi-

ST. PAUL, May 23.-The court martial or
Lieutenant Nancy on charges growing out
of the fatal shooting of Captain Hedberg
at Fort Sheridan, Chicago. began at Fort
Smelling to-day. Col. E. c. Mason, COM
handing at Fort Smelling, is president OF
the court, which is made up of twelve OF
the best known army officers OF high rank.
The place of trial, Fort Smelling. is famous
in Northwestern history. as military head
quarters, and the country around which
early pioneer life gathered Almost within
sound of Minnehahas waters, the strength
OF the fort reminds one of the sterner
times when the war whoop and the deadly
rifle shot were familiar sounds.
Proceedings began by the reading of the
order of Secretary of War Lamont conven-
ing the court. Then Lieut. Col. Thomas Il.
Barr judge advocate, read the charges,
and the accused was called upon TO plead

that he did assault Captain Hedberg and
infiict injuries from which he died. Attor-
ney Blair argued at length in support of
his motion to strike out everything in con-
nection with the case OF the killing of
Captain Hedberg, insisting th6t a person
could not be put in jeopardy either or
life or honor twice for the same offense.

THE PREsBYTERrANs.
Reports of Committees Submitted to
the Northern Assembly.

SARATOGA, May 23.-An echo of the
discussion on theological seminaries was
heard at the opening of the General AS
sembly this morning in a movement led by
Elder Logan c. Murray of New York, who
asked that his name be enrolled as voting
in favor of the report of the majority
which was adopted yesterday. He was fol-
lowed by six other commissioners. who
made the same request.
The report of the regular committee on
theological seminaries, to which the an
nual reports of the seminaries have been
sent for consideration. was made the Sec
ond order for Friday afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected that this report will open up some
sharp controversy, particularly in connec-
ton with Lane Seminary. which asks that
IL be restored TO the full approval and con-
ddence of the church.
The floor was given to Dr. Duffield. OF
New York. chairman of the committee on
correspondence. who introduced the Rev.
Dr. Murkland. of Baltimore, as a repre-
sentative of the Presbyterian alliance and
a minister OF the Southern Presbyterian
Church. DR.. Murkland spoke at consider
able length and was occasionally inter-
rupted by applause. In opening he ex-
pressed the hope that the time might soon
come when the effort to bring back the
Southern church like a daughter to the
bosom OF her mother should be crowned
with success. In replying the moderator
charged DR.. Murkland to take back TO his
church the special message that the North
ern church is longing TO be one again with
the Southern church. adding: at is a
crime for us TO be separate any longer"
a committee of flve was appointed by the
moderator TO convey the fraternal greet
ings OF the assembly to the Baptist conven-
ton now in session in Saratoga The COM
mittee consists of Drs. Duflied Craig and
Rudd. with Elders Mcdonald and Howell.

OF the board of foreign missions showed the
following facts: The last assembly called
for work which involved expenditures of
Sl.0l5.000 On account of differences in value
in exchange $s95.92l in gold have sufficed
for the demands thus made. The receipts
for the year amounted To $S43. All, leaving n
