KNIGHTS OF LABOR RESOLVE.
Various Matters Needing To Be Reformed
Seth Forth.

Louisville, November 1.-THE general
assembly of the knights of Labor, which
has been in session here since the early
part OF last week, completed it's work to-
day and adjourned until the second Tues
day of next Novembe Der, when it will con-
vene again in Chicago. Many questions
Of national significance were discussed
and in each case resolutions were passed
expressing the sentiment of the organiza-
tion on the several matters.
At the afternoon session resolutions were
passed eulogizing the late Henry George.
Resolutions were also passed commend
ing the service of Past General Master
Workman Sovereign.
Res lutions were adopted declaring un-
equivocally In favor of the independence
Of Cuba condemning the alleged hasty
action of the deputy sheriffs in the Hazle-
ton affair and calling upon the govern
ment to take such steps as will bring the
offenders to Justice; deDouncing the
Cleveland administration for matching
the sale of the Union Pacific railroad and
the present administration for carrying
out the plans; cOndelnning the act of the
brewery workers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor in seeking by alleged unfair
means to force the Knights of Labor en-
ployes Of the Rochester Brewing company
to withdraw in favor of the Federation
and the executive board was authorized
to take such steps as will bring the
offenders to account for what is con-
cid, red most unfair action. If it is
found necessary the board is also author :

the products of all breweries where

of Labor and to attempt to establish COL

Chicago. November 17.-Relatives OF

the ceremony which made them man and

THE COURT WEPT.
Emporia, Kas, November 17.-The
death in Chicago of John B. Ketcham,
shortly after marrying Mabel Estelie
Wallace, the widow of John r. Walkup.
the man for whose murder she was tried
here twelve years ago, recalls the sensa-
tional ending OF the case in which Mrs
Walkup's testimony secured an acquittal
just rs everything seemed to be going
against her.
The prosecution claimed that Mrs
Walkup had purchased arsenic while en-
route to Emporia on her wedding trip
and that shs purchased quantities of the
poison in Emporia. The defense did not
deny that Walkup was poisoned, with
arsenic, but said he took an overdose
while taking the poison for medicine.
tThe climax of the case WAS reached
when Mrs. Walkup was placed on the
stand. She was very beautiful and before
she finished giving testimony the lawyers,
jurymen and judge wept. A verdict of
acquittal was rendered. Shortly after the
trial Mrs. Walkup left Emporia and very
little has been heard Of her since.

Difficulties With Canada Cannot Be
Settled in Day.
Washington, November 17.-The officers
of the state department. were very much
surprised at the reports of the total fail
ure of the Canadian negotiations which
appeared today in several morning news
papers. One of them said today
That view is not taken by the govern
ment at Washington. The representatives
of the Canadian government who have
just left the city did not come to Wash
ington with any expectation of conclud-
ing any arrangement or treaty during
their brief stay. They entertained views
upon the question of the sealing regula-
nation as to the views OF our government
upon the remaining questions which their
preceding government in Canada had
failed to adjust. The only fact correctly
stated in the publications referred to is
that under tho favorable influences pre-
vailing, the seal experts agreed on re-
port. This report will furnish q good
basis for further action. 1t goes without
saying that Canada is not disposed to
make concession upon the seals without
some consideration to Canada. What
such concessions shall be is question
not yet disposed Of There has not been
the slightest check to the negotiations
further than the inevitable delay in the
settlement of the sealing question. The
Canadian representatives were Hospitality
received. frankly talked with and partici-
pated in free and frank discussion. If
every Irritating question can be removed
between the United States and Canada

~ surprised, and previously so, at the
result OF the Senatorial contest, es-
pecially that part played by so-eailed
Populists at this most critical period
OF the party; because the part they
played is evidence that part of the
Peoples Party leaders are spoil hum
ters and office seekers, and not led and
guided BY principle on which depends
the success of the party, and which
means salvation OF the people and
country. When ! stepped out of the
Democratic ranks l did not step into
the Republican party, but between as
a medium to help correct the many
evils, mistakes, blunders, and frauds

Panied and Shocked.

| have been panied and shocked at
the occurrences at Raleigh during the
last week. Harry Skinner, professed
friend of the people, for the sake and
in the hope of becoming the leader of
the Populist party in North Carolina
seems to have done his utmost to split
our organization in twain. To crafty
personal ambition he left Washington
with the avowed purpose of splitting
our party and electing a Republican
straddle-bug to the Senate over An
honest, true Populist, and sad to say
he succeeded. Senator Butler who is
the chosen head of our party may be
and doubtless is guilty of making mis-
takes at times, but in this contest he
was contending solely for the good of
our cause. Anybody could see the
truth of this assertion, and am sure
in his defeat the rank and file of our
party will rally round the standard
he has raised, and the cause will be
stronger than ever. Every good cause
has its traitors, but the right finally
prevails though often defeated. And
1 am sure our cause will 20 forward
even if it is compelled to march bodily
over the PROSTATE forms of the rene.
gades who have sought to betray it.

What Representative Parker Said.

Every Populist Republican and De.
mocrat who heard j. ii. Parker In the
last campaign, when he spoke publicly,
will remember that the burden of his
speeches was for free silver at ratio
of l6 to |. But when he gets to Raj.
eigh, in company with Skinner, Prit-
chard & Co, his promises to his con-
stituents are all forgotten; and. in the
face of what he told the people at his
home. he bolted the Populist caucus
and voted for Jeter Pritchard, dyed
in the wool, gold-bug Republican.
Why do we say he was gold-bug Re-
publican? Hear what he (Pitchard)
says himself, and you will be convinc-
ed: 81 stand hat-footed on the Re-
publican platform, and | am in favor
