SOXEREIGN,S SCHEME.
son.

General Master Workman Sovereign, of
the Knights of Labor, has again demon
strated his hostility to law and order and
his readiness to resort to extreme and des-
perate measures. His advice to working
men to join the militia as means of get
ting the arms and discipline necessary to
defend the country and the people from An
archists. railroad managers trusts, attor-
neys and the murderous deputies and Pink
ertons whom they employ" is thoroughly
vicious. The object of a militia is to sup
port and defend the government, and to
assist when occasion requires. in the sup
preston of disorder and the enforcement of
law. The spirit OF the militia should be
that Of unquestioning loyalty to the civil
authorities and obedience to orders. The
idea that it should be organized captured
or controlled for against any particular
class or classes of society is mon
strous. Sovereign des:gnates "Anarch-
lists, railroad managers. trusts, at
torneys and Pinkertons'' the
classes against whom the militia should be
used. If all or any of these classes should
unite in forcible resistance to law or def
ance of the civil authorities the militia
should be used to suppress them, just as it
should to suppress any other formidable
uprising. But Sovereign's advice evidently
contemplates the use of the militia for a
very different purpose than the impartial
preservation of order and enforcement of
law. He would, if possible, have the mill
tia so organized that it could easily be
turned against the classes he names. while
it would be worthless as a means of sup
pressing labor riots or enforcing the law
against riotous strikers. Sovereign's advice
is that of an enemy of law and order and
a traitor at heart.

READY TO COMPROMISE.
Members of the House Tired Of tho
Continued Deadlock.

COnt1nueu De3OlOck.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Secretary Car
Isle returned TO the House of Representa-
tives at AGO O'Clock, and was with Speaker
Crisp in the latter's. private office for half
an hour. AS Mr. Carlisle came away he
was asked if the conference related to the
tariff.
NO said he; II wished TO see the
Speaker on the free ship bill and a bill
concerning the revenue marine service, and
the tariff was not discussed in any way.
There is no significance in my seeing the
Speaker beyond my desire to expedite
these two legislative matters"
Speaker Crisp said tonight that no pro-
gramme or plan of action on the tariff. so
far as the House was concerned, had been
or would be outlined until the Senate had
acted on the question of sending the bill
back to conference. This disposed of
ports that some radical steps might be
taken by the House to break the dead
lock. The Speaker anticipates that the
next conference will be marked by a concil-
iatory spirit and by a disposition to give
and take. He hoped for a speedy adjourn
ment, but he does not yet join in the gem
eral expression of members that settle
ment and adjournment are close at hand.
In the House, to-day, the communica-
tons were read which passed between the
French government and the American en-
bassy at Paris relative to the assassination
of President Carnot The secretary of the
United States embassy stated that the
resolutions of coincidence of the House and
Senate were read i'm the French Chamber
of Deputies and Senate amid great enthu-
siaSm.
The conference report on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
was laid before the House. and gave rise
to considerable discussion, principally on
the clause giving the Commissioner of
Pensions $3.50 600 "a compromise between
the 100000 of the House and 10000 of the
Senate) for making special examinations.

Senate or at the Democratic conference.

hees is determined not 10 be trapped again.

one of his friends, Twill be TO make every
fellow in the conference room show up. TO
prove that he has no Cleveland letter
marked personal or any other sort Of
concealed weapon about his person"
1t is now understood and is a common
joke among the Democratic Senators that
Voorhees, has simply absented himself from
the Senate out of pure cowardice to face
the situation. While he has not made any
friends by such unstatesmanlike conduct,
he has avoided the embarrassment of add
ing his evidence TO that of Senator's Jones,
Vest and Harris against the President.

Mr.. Cleveland's firm stand for free coal
is, doubtless, due, in large degree, to the
fact that his personal and political friends
would profit enormously by the free ad-
mission of Nova Scotia coal. Can it be
that his anxiety for free iron has a similar
origin? 1t has come to light that the Cuban
iron mines are controlled by the Bethlehem
Iron Company and the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, both of which were liberal con-
tributors to the Democratic campaign fund
