THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Report of tho Executive Board-Politicsl
ADVANTAGES Gained.

Report of tho Executive Board-Poutical
Advantages Gained.
Rochester, N. y, Nov. 13.-The report
of the executive committee has been
made public. It details the part taken
by the Knights of Labor in the popul1st
and democratic national convention, in
an attempt to unite the two parties for
the principles urged by the Knights
and rejoices at the prominence given
the issues there announced.
Continuing, the report says:
'aThis general assembly should give the
most thorough consideration to the cues.
ton of how best to preserve the ponticai
1.-THE lack Of organization among the toll
ers is a grave menace to the republic. Not
i've per cent. of the working people OF
the United States are organized. It is I'M
perative that something must be done to
organize them more rapidly than they have
been in the past. What shall it be?
1--WE would suggest, first, that we must
make clear to the iaboring people that
1t ia to their interest in every sense OF the
word to become good members OF the
strikes should be avoided as much as pos
sible; every strike and lockout Is incipient
civil war. The plutocracy Is seeking an
excuse to readily increase the standing
army. The petty violence connected with
strikes and lock-outs is their most plausible
excuse now. Let US not play into their
hands"
A resolution declaring for the enact
ment of a graduated income tax law was
adopted. Failing to procure this at the
hands Of the next congress, it is the de-
cIared intention of the knights to use
all their influence to have a demand for
such a tax incorporated into the plat
form of one of the great political par
ties. and, if they fail in that. there will
in all probability be an effort made to
set up new political party.
At the afternoon session the last of
the annual reports, that OF General
Worthy Foreman M. j, Bishop, was pre-
sented. He is the originator of the or
ganization called the Minute Men of

order, for which he seeks the indorse-
ment of the general assembly. Follow
ing is synopsis of his report:
Mr.: Bishop enters at length into the dis lis
charges that Armenian refugees are al
come competitors with Americans in the
labor market. He favors an educational dionsl
test Tor all immigrants, ana presents
tables showing the large percentage. of
illiteracy received from foreign countries:
He also touches upon the dangers of
ican capitalists are making large invest
ments in Japanese Industrial enterprises,
and that the skillful Japanese are turn

says: mo tariff lower than an actual

Of no avail by bitter experience.
Of Labor is stated to be 100000. but owing to
failure to keep up the dues and other
causes there are now but 100000 in good
standing, an increase Of about 5000 over
last year.

Silver and Gold Alignment.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Although the
official figures of the recent election
have not in all cases reached republican
congressional headquarters, the result
of the contests in the various congress
sional districts is known with sufficient

ulists. In making this division the COM

yer the division is said to be: For free

Knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make sluggish
coward out of any man. 1t makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything
1t makes his movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has a fight on his
hands Just as much as ever had belted
knight. 1t is matter of life and death,
Just the same with him as it was with the
crusader Indigestion and all the ills
that go with it, most frequently start in
constipation That keeps all sorts of i'm
purities In the body, forces them into the
blood, and so deranges the whole system.
Constipation is one of the conmonest
ills, and to it are traceable most Of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets a firm hold on a man, it is most
difficult to overcome it. Temporary re-
lief can be obtained in thousand ways.
There are medicines on the market that
will help as long as you take them.
There is only one remedy that is real
remedy-that you don't have to keep on
taking forever. That is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. The "Pe11ets" are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, mild and
efficient in their action. They effect a
permanent cure. You don't become a
slave to their use, as with other pills.
