KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Will Make a Fight For a Graduated IN
come Tax.

Rochester, n. Y. Nov. 1.-THE Gen
eral Assembly of Knights of Labor to-day
adopted a resolution declaring for the
enactment of graduated income tax
law. Failing to procure this at the hands
of the new Congress, it is the declared
intention Of the knights to use all their
influence to have a demand for such
tax incorporated into the platform OF one
of the great political parties, and if they
fail in that there will, in all probability
be an effort made to set up new poll
teal party. Resolutions have been of
fered to the distribution committee in
favor of the initiative and referendum
of opposing the issue of national bank
notes and declaring that all money should
be issued exclusively by the National
government.
The election of officers will probably
not come up until next week. The pres
ent Grand Master Workman, Jas. T.
Sovereign and u. T. Mcguire, member
of the Executive Board, are the leading
candidates for Office of Grand Master
Workman.

Ancient Surgery.

DIR. Robert Fletcher in his Anatomy
Of Art" and DR. Luigi Sambon having
shown conclusively that Greeks and
Romans must have had good acquaint-
ance with surgery. IL seems strange that
in tho medieval European period there
was dense ignorance and no skill in am
putation. Sword and lance wounds were
necessarily of constant occurrence then,
and tho treatment was merciless. II has
been shown before how there was among
primitive people fair acquaintance
with surgery and even knowledge Of
the re1nements Of II, as in plastic opera
tions. The discovery of a manuscript Of
tho eleventh century shows us con-
clusively that among the Arabs and in
Syria Mt the time Of the first crusades
there was fair knowledge Of surgery
and that tho Syrians held in poor esti-
nation the Frank doctor. Osama tells
how a knight was suffering from an
abscess Of the thigh and a woman from
consumption. Tho Frank physician had
the knights leg put in block, and it
was hacked Off with a sword. The wom-
an was treated by having her hair cut
and cross cut into her skull. The
knight died at once and so did tho wom-
an. Then the chronicler says that the
Syrian doctor who had been called in
left disguised, having learned "morc
about Frankish medicine than he had
ever known before.

what Il n Buiif

"A BULL" Sydney Smith tells us, "is
tho exact counterpart Of witticism,
for, as wit discovers real relations that

relations that are not real. " do not
think bulls necessarily do that. When
Sir Boyle Roche told the Irish house Of
commons that he wished certain bill,
then before that august assembly, at the
bottom Of the bottomless pit, he GER
tainly produced a bull, and very fine

not admit apparent relations that are

passing-and hope may not in 30 do
ing seem to be lacking in justice to
Ireland--that the claim sometimes made
on behalf of that country to sort Of
monopoly Of bulls is untenable.
Excellent bulls are produced by peo.
pie OF other countries. Az, for example,
by tho Austrian officer mentioned by
Schopenhauer when he observed TO q
guest staying in the same country house !:
"Ah, you are fond of solitary walks.
SO am l. Let us take walk together. :"

clared him unworthy TO black the boots

GREAT Speeches HEARD BY FEW.
Some OF Them Delivered 10 n Very Small
Number of Auditors.

It is "a curious fact that many Of the
great speeches which gave Immortality
to the orators who made them were de-
fivered in comparatively small rooms
and TO small audiences. When Webster
made his great argument in the Dart
mouth college case, aside from the bar
and the officials in charge of the room,
there were not 90 persons present, and
yet many believe that he spoke TO lis
tening senators and other high officials.
When we read Of Patrick Henry's
wonderful display Of eloquence, we see
in our minds eye spacious room and
an immense crowd of people listening
10 his burning words with almost
breathless attention. But, in truth,
many Of these speeches which quickened
or changed the iSarch of events were
delivered in small room and to q few
hearers-never more than 100. Gould

ENoLAND'S METROPOLIS.
London ~ II was In tho Earliest Days Of
Its Existence.

We FIRST hear Of London In any i'm
portant sense as city Of Roman Brit.
ain. The incoming of the Saxon con-
querors is followed by nearly 900 years
Of unbroken silence, and IL is this long
period which has caused some historians
to assume. rather than prove, that Ro-
man London had altogether ceased 10
exist But when the light Of history is
again shed upon this part Of the newly
made England there is much TO show
that London had, to large extent, pre-
served her independence as place of
commerce and civic organization. Tho
Saxon settlements appear all round her.
and perhaps the little village Of Char
ing, within mile Of her walls, affords
the most significant testimony TO the
Saxon settlements round London rather
than In London.
The Saxon conquerors appear M polit-
ical masters of London and introduced
into her municipal life tho folkmoot.
which originally met in the open air ON
a piece Of land near Paul's Cross and
which Is perhaps represented by the
Common hall Of tho citizens Of London
Of the present day; many Teutonic GUS
toms which lie imbedded I'm the munic-
ipal usages Of medieval times many
Democratic innovations in municipal
institutions which appear throughout
tho early years Of Plantagenet rule,
when the common people" over and
over lain asserted their right to take
part ~ tho municipal elections and
transactions Of the day. But both the
settlements round London and the po-
li.ical lordship over London do not ap-
pear to have made London Saxon city
and it's municipal institutions Of Saxon
London seems never to have quite died
out.
In tho court Of the merchants there
were always professional lawyers, and
perhaps the most remarkable survival OF
Roman institutions in Britain is the
practice Of the old order of sergeants at
law, who assembled in tho nave Of the
old st. Paul's cathedral, each sergeant
having been allotted u special pillar in
the cathedral at his appointment, where
he met his clients in legal consultation,
hearing tho facts Of the case, taking
notes Of the evidence or pacing up and
| down. This is the exact parallel to the
assembling Of the Roman jurisperiti at
| early morn i'm tho forum to consult with
their clients and cannot bc explained
except by the theory Of direct continu-
ance Of practice from Roman times. -
