SOUABBLES OF KNIGHTS.
Editor 6. q. Conn, Of the Washington
Times, Is Expelled and His Paper
Is Placed on the Unfair List.

Rochester, N. Y. Nov. 1.-THE gen.
eral assembly of the knights of Labor
took up the report of committee on APP
pealS and grievances. The case of eX-
Congressman &. G. Conn, editor and
principal owner of the Washington
Times, was considered at length. Mr..
Conn was charged with making mali
ciOus statements about the General
Master Workman and General Secre-
tary of the order in his paper. He was
suspended by the national executive
board several months ago, and from
that sentence appealed to the general
assembly.
AS a result of to-day's deliberation
Mr.. Conn was expelled from the order
and his paper placed upon the list of
unfair papers.
The committee on cooperation pre-
sented a paper from ID. A. 70, of Min
neapolis. explaining a scheme for CO.
operation in distributing the neces-
saries Of life. After discussion, it was
agreed that the plan was not worked
out in sufficient detail, and was not
cOmmendable enough for adoption by
the entire order, but it was favOrably
reported for use in particular localities
where the circumstances may seem fav-
Orable to success.
The report of the committee on state
of the order was next taken up. and
ways of extending and Strengthening
the order were discussed.
The reading of the decisions of Gen.
eral Master Workman Sovereign was
the first business at the afternoon ses-
sion of the Knights of Labor. Immc-
diately following this was the election
of officers. Sovereign was reelected
general workman. and General -Secre-

both without opposition. 1t was ex-
pected that there would he a fight.
but when the time came there was no
one with sufficient nerve to go against
them. To the next highest office, that
of general worthy foreman, Thomas
Mcguire, Of Amsterdam. N. Y, was
chosen. His opponent was Philip l..
Anon. of New Jersey. The ballot was:
Mcguire, -, and Anon, 23.
The nominations for the executive
board follows:
They We're: II. p. Martin. Minnesota; !;
Andrew j. Best. Brooltlyn; John F..
Maher. New York. c. A. French, Mas
sachusetts: Henry A. Hicks, New York
City; Daniel Brown, Montana; James
M. Kenney, Omaha. and Thomas H.
Canning, Boston. Hicks and Kenney
declined. and one ballot showed that
Martin. Best and Brown We're elected.
Martin is a member of the old board,
Best is District Master Workman of
the street and elevated railway men of
Brooklyn and Jersey City, and Brown
master workman of District Assembly
No. 9S, of Montana.
The committee on the state of order
adopted resolutions preventing persons
on a strike from entering the Knights
of Labor. Adjourned until tomorrow
morning.

silver question and bimetallism, en-

MIR. FOCHT FLUNKED.
Did Not Believe the Chances of Defeat.
ing Boyer We're Strong Enough
to Warrant q Contest.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Hon. b. X.
Focht, of Union county, who was one
of the candidates for speaker in the
county conference at Harrisburg Mon
day evening, this afternoon announced
his withdrawal. While expressing
sympathy with the movement in favor
of candidate for speaker outside of
Philadelphia, he said he did not be-
lieve the chances of defeating Mr.. Boy
er were sufficiently strong in his mind
to warrant the contest on his part. He
therefore left the field to the other as
pirants who are more sanguine of sue
cess.
Representative Farr, of Lackawanna,
one of the most prominent of the rural
members. who, are ambitious for
speakership honors, arrived in this city
this evening from Harrisburg. When
informed of the withdrawal of Mr..
Focht as a candidate. Mr.. Farr said
he was not greatly surprised. hut said
MIR. Focht had simply flunked and that
that would not prevent a contest for
the speakership.
THE claims of the candidates out
side of Philadelphia for speakership hon
Ors,' said Mr.. Farr, ARE we'll based, as
1t clearly set forth in the conference
at Harrisburg on Monday evening. 1t
would be to the best interests of the
otate, f'nlladelph1a Included, to have
the speakership at this time go to a
member outside of this city There
would be more independence shown
and greater scope given to legisla =
tion in the interests of the people. The
factional warfare in Philadelphia has
been sufficiently injurious to the party
throughout the State without injecting
1t into the coming session of the legis-
lature. thus interfering with legitimate
work and further in the disturbing par
ty interests.
THE fight can be won against Mr..
Boyer If the candidates now in the field
buckle on their armor and go to work.
1t was done in 1891. when Philadelphia
and Allegheny counties presented a
solid front for Mr.. Brooks, and it ought
to be done more easily this session
with those delegations divided and a
majority of them in favor of a speaker
from some other portion of the State
than Philadelphia"

HASTINGS AS PEACEMAKER.
Governor Is Trying to Bring Martin
and QUAY Together.

Harrisburg, Nov. 17.-There is story
current here that Governor Hastings,
when in Philadelphia last week. saw
David Martin and again tried to patch
up peace between him and Senator
Quay, and that it is barely probable
that the two leaders will get together
in Washington and have an under
standing. Governor Hastings left Har-
risburg, as it was understood here. to
attend the Elltin dinner. but he was
not present at that function. and 1t Is
now said that he was having n long
conference with Martin.
The week previous the governor went
to Washington to meet Quay and held
a consultation with him. Those who
are good at putting two and two to-
gether say that the fact that Hast
ings saw both of the leaders before
they started to hook tarpoon in Florida
waters Is very significant.

Him to Face His Necessities.

To the Editor of the Optic.
SANTA FEE, N. M December 10, '96.
Permit ms, through the columns OF
your paper, to again call the attention
of the wool-growers Of this Territory
to the call issued by the president OF
the National association of wool.grow-
ers, the Hon. VIM Lawrence, for q
meeting OF the association, In Wash.
ington, on the 10Th inst An emergen-
cy exists, a crisis has come, and it is
to be hoped a turning point has been
reached.
The people have voted to restore the
protective policy, and on the 4th of
March The republican party will assume
control of the government. 1t ia
pledged to readjus. the tariff in the in
terest of home labor and production.
1t claims that such action will bring
again happiness end plenty. settle the
currency question and remedy other
evils grown out Of our period of de-
preston and disaster. 1t is entitled to
a free hand and a clear field, and It's
enemies become national enemies, il
they attempt to hamper or impede the
establishment Of its policy and the full
fllment of its promises.
The party asks ana expects to receive
from the various domestic industries of
the country, a statement of their con-
dition and necessities, their ability to
meet foreign competition, their rela-
tive positions, TO the end that in the
formulation of its policy, no injustice
may be done.
The free wool provisions Of the pres.
ent law have not greatly benefited the
of wooden goods, as every
reduction is accounted for by the in
creased use of shoddy, but the United
States producer of raw wool has been
brought to the verge of bankruptcy.
There is no doubt but that the wool
growers have the good will OF the
majority Of the next congress, but it
will not do to presume upon that. but
1t is not deroga'ory to say, they do not
know the necessities of the case. They
must be enlightened. For instances

toH, DoC OIL, ShySs 'SO-cdiIeu carpet
woods are being sold largely for CLOTH
ing purposes" II manufacturers will
use Sd class woods for clothing when
all classes are free, they will certainly |
do SO when there is a discriminating
duty against clothing or 1st class wool.
This and such other facts as exist, the
wool grower must bring TO the atten-
lion of congress, or we will be stopped
from making complaint, II the law of

WITHIN a few days, the machinery
will be placed In the the creamery, at
Phoenix. The Gazette says the plant
is the largest and finest in all the SOUTH
west. being capable Of handling 20,-
900 pounds of milk daily. If Las Ve-
gas would only induce enough small
farmers, near here, to make enough
butter to supply the home market, it
would be a wonderful saving TO the
community. We could never see why
more people do not take hold of this
industry, in a small way, to start with.
All who have tried it, have succeeded
in making money. and Chas. Lsibsch-
ner, who began without a dollar a few
years age, is now comparatively rich,
and all has been earned from butter
making.
