K.VIG1ITS OK LAHOIt IN SESSION. ST. Jjouis, NOV. 17.—The report of Generul Secretary and Treasurer Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, begins with a statement of the condition of the honetit insurance feature of the order's work, which, owing to luck of support by the members, has not been very successful. He urges the delegates to adopt measures LO arouse the interest of the memberwhip in this part of the work of the order. Uis financial statement shows that, including the batoince on hand at

T. V. POWDKKLV.

the beginning of the fiscal year July 1, 1801, the total receipts of the order have been $00,014.19, and the total expenditures 550,748.82, leaving a balance on hand on July 1, le92, of $8(15.U7. The membership of the order lias increased slightly during the past year, and has now over 200,000 members in good standing. Except slight balances due some of the general officers on salary, the order is entirely clear of debt all it3 property, including the general headquarters in Philadelphia, some coal mining property in Indiana, and other property in this state and elsewhere, is fully paid for, and foots up a total value of in the neighborhood of S100,000.

Powderly's Address.

The annual address of General Master Workman Powderly to the sixteenth general assembly of the Ivnights of Labor was extremely lengthy, occupying over an hour in its delivery. A spnopsis follows:

After congratulating his hearers on the present prosperous condition of the order, he reviewed tho labor movement at leugth. There were too many labor organizations, he said, and the tendency of the lubor movement seemed to be divided up. while that of tho opposing forco —capital—was to consolidate, and thereby to gain strength to combat tho forces of industry, when, single handed, they were arrayed b* fore them.

Ballot Reform.

The members of this organization are to bo congratulated on ihe gratifying result of the agitation for ballot reform which was Inaugurated by tho general assembly a few short years ago. When the question was first presented to the general assembly no state in the United Suites held elections under laws which would secure the voter in the right lo cast his ballot without intimidation, scrutiny or without subjecting himself to the espionage of those who might *havc it in their power to Injure hiin for voting contrary to their wishes. Now there are some thirty states in which the secret ballot law Is in forcc. In some of these states the laws are not up to the standard established by this order, but these laws maybe amended— none of them should be repealed. There must be no backward steps taken on this great question. It is tho opinion of the general master workman that we should go still further in advocating tho passage or election laws which will render it impossible for any person to vote unless be can read his ballot. He asks that a committee on initiative and referendum bo appointed here for tho purpose of presenting a plan on which an agitation of this question may bo carried on during the coming year.

Immigration.

Mr. Powderly dwelt on the matter of immigration, advocating the total excluslon|of all immigrants who are not self-supporting on landing In this country. "There sbould be a tlxed term of years," he said: "ten would be onough, during which no Immigrant should be allowed to land with a view to romainlug unless each could provo that he had sufficient means to sustain himself and those depending upon him for ono year."

Strikes and Lockouts.

Referring to strikes and lockouts Mr. Powderly said that during tho last six months the people of this land had witnessed such attemptj of making the power of aggregated wealth supreme as were never dreamt of before. Whether it was at Coeur d'Alcne, at Homestead, or at Buffalo the Instinct which guided the rapaolous hand was the umo. Centralised wealth, he said, drow the flro of scattered labor, and as a natural result labor lost in each battle, and if tho lessons were taken carefully to boart the sacrifices would not be in vain. Ho continued: "The future must be a strike for the rule of the people. We can decry politics as we please, but wo must be politicians or the slaves of politicians. Wc may shirk our responsibilities as citizens, but wc are but piling high the wrath which follows neglect of duty, lu a word, we must be law makers or law breakers. Whon we, in tho last extremity, are driven close to the wall and deprived of right and privilege, it is done through the law. If the law is obscure or defective, a hireling judge can always be found to construo in favor of tho wealthy as against tho poor. If every citizen of Pennsylvania imft»rstood and knew his rights if he performed his duty under the law Intelligently and as he ought to, no judge would dare to charge treason against workmen who but struggled for recognition. The battle of the future must bo fought out on different lines from those which marked the shifting progress of the past. These lines must diverge from and center at Ihe ballot-box. Not as slaves to party bent on obeying the will of a boss or master, but as frco men who value freedom and would maintain it should wo vole."

Report of the Kxtcutlve Hoard. The general executive committee in its report approved the plan adopted last year of requiring each member in good standing, to pay five cents to a fund for the payment of railway expenses of delegates. Much space was devoted to the review of the trouble with the combinc of clothing manufacturers at Rochester, N. Y., and the efforts that have been made to settle it The report says on this point: "In spite of all devices and expedients of the combine, the boycott has been steadily and ef* fectually prosecuted and millions of dollars of trade diverted from them." It is urged that the fight be vigorously prosecuted with a prophecy of ultimate victory. The

THE DAILY JOURNAL

board also reviews in detail the case brought against National Master Workman James Hughes by the Rochester manufacturers, which case is now in the hands of Gov. Flower in theshape of a petition asking for Hughes' pardon. The statements made that Gov. Flower refused to act on the case until after the election, and there is an indirect charge that the jur$ which convicted Hughes was packed.

The trouble between the Knights of Labor and the World's Columbian Exposition was given at great length, together with the efforts made by the knights to settle the difficulty.

The report closes with a recommendation that the constitution of the order should be shortened by giving to the local and district assemblies greater power to make laws regulating their own affairs, merely retaining in the hands of the central body a general supervision.

Disrupted Desired Lobulation. The afternoon session was devoted to the report of the committee on laws, which was made as soon us the session was called to order. The suggestions of the committee were taken up one by one and discussed by various members, and this discussion will be continued until all-arc disposed of.

Thj proposition to insert a clause in t)|g platform providing- for the use of the referendum scheme was, after much discussion, adopted. Another proposition was adopted providing for the establishment, of au employment bureau by the order. A suggestion that there be stricken out of the platform the plank providing for a graduated income tax aroused considerable discission, and instead of the suggestion being adopted the plank was mudc all the stronger by the adoption of an amendment providing also for a tax on inheritance. Several minor matters of interest only to the initiated were also disposed of.

Spoke for the W. C. T. U.

During the afternoon Mrs. Ingalls, of St. Louis, representing the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, made a fraternal call on the order and was granted a hearing in the interest of the organization under whose auspices she was tent, an appropriate reply being made by General Master Workinun I'owderly.

Keeping tho 1'artj In r.lno.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—Visiting politicians find tliut President Harrison is paying much attention to reorganizing the party and mapping out a policy for the future. He has written about 200 letters to leading republicans throughout tlie country with a view to rallying them from the recent reverse. It is probable that tho president's effort in this direction will result in a permanent campaign organization, which will keep up the party work from one presidential election to another, instead of trying to do the work of four years in the few months bofore the presidential election.

WKAVRR'fl LETTER.

DES MOINES, la., Nov. 17.—Gen. J. 15. Weaver, candidate for president on the people's party ticket, has issued a lengthy address to the voters of that party. It is addressed to H. E. Taubeneck, chairman of the national committee, and reads as follows: "MY DEAR SIH: I wish by this method to briefly address through* you tho friends of reform throughout the union. Unaided by money our grand young party has made an enviable record and achieved surprising success at tho polls. We are but little behind the republican party in the number of states carried. As a result of the lat© election we will doubtless hold the balance of power, in the senate of tho United States, have doubled tho number of our adherents in the house of representatives. scoured control of a number of state governments, hold tho balance of power in a majority of tho states tn th$ union, and have succeeded in arousing a spirit of political independenoe among the people of the northwest which cannot be disregarded In the future. Not being formed on sectional llnee our parly in a single campaign has gained a large and influential following in every state in the south. This gives promise of good government in that section of ihe union a thing the republican party has failed lo do after thirty years of almost uninterrupted rule —and gives promise, loo, of correcting wrongs which may exist through the people of the respective states, instead of attempting to do so by iutiuences from without.

Unites All Sections.

"We hove awakened fraternal feelings in all sections, and as an earnest of our good will toward the south tho grand people of Kansas, a state containing more union soldiers than any other, elected a one-armed ex-confederate soidier of the people's party lo represent the state at-large in congress. "The country is to be congratulated upon the fact that the leaders of one of the heretofore great parties have been abandoned and overthrown by the people and their organization well-nigh annihilated. This .leaves \hc lormer adherents of that party freo to align themselves with the great antimonopoly aud Industrial movement. The accession of the other party to power is the result of violent,- reaotion, and not, I urn sure, of the eliberat* judgment of the American people. The battle leaders of the triumphant parly are without any welldetlned policy except that of contemptuous disregard for every element of reform within the ranks of their own party and among the people at large. The now administration will Ignore the three groat contentions or modern times relating to land, monoy and transportation. and will not attempt to solve either. In fact, the whole forcc of the new regttue will be exercised to prevent reform iu these important matters. "Tho urgent demand of the people for the free coinage of silver Is to be disdainfully ignored and new obstaoles will doubtless be Interposed to further restrict tho use of the white metal. In contempt of the doctrine of Andrew Jackson. European aristocrats are to bo permitted to dictate our financial policy.

Fear* Wildcat Currency.

"One of the most valuable results of the late civil war—that of a uniform legal tender currency issued by the trovernuicnt—is to be sacrificed and abandoned, und serious attempts will be made to forcc the people ».o return to the fraudulent system of state bank issues which existed prior to the war, and which periodically swindled the industrial classes of the fruits of their toil This is to be sprung upon the people by a sudden stroke of policy by leaders who carefully keep their motives concealed from thr public. This orime is to be enacted into law between elections and before the people oan have time to pass upon the question by the selection of representatives nhoseu for the purpose. "That this is the deliberate plan is shown by tho clause in the democratic platform which calls for the repeal of the law imposing a tax upon the circulation of state banks. It is confirmed by the fact that Mr. Coe, chairman of the executivo committee of the American Bankers' association, together with a large number of New York bankers, publicly gave in their support to the democratic ticket ouly a few days before the election The situation gives an additional importance to the great question which a few have comprehended for score of years, namely: 'Shall the currency of the country be a legultender Issse and Its value controlled by tbe government, or shall 1: be legal tender issued and controlled by banking corporations?'

Mimion of the New 1'arty.

"The issues presslug lor solution are simply tremendous and the situation portentous. Our oarty has not made its advent too soon. It* mission Is to restore to our IJbvernmcnt its original and only legitimate function—which has been well nigh lost by non-uso that of securing to all of Its citUens, the weak as well as the mighty, the unmolested enjoyment of their iualienablo right*. This cannot bo accomplished until the relations between labor and its creature, capital, arc so adjusted as to causc eaoh to respect the domain of the other. These important forces are now upon a war footing, whereas under humane laws they would naturally dwell together In perfect peace. "Tho repressive policy, now fully inaugurated In this country, will not work well in the closing years of the nineteenth century. It Is the fatal blunder of weak leaders who fail to comprehend the spirit of the age and the growth of independcnco among the people. It denies to lubor the right to organize, relies upon the military arm to sustain corporate pretensions, and when labor organisations defend themselves against armed mercenaries it adjudges the members thereof to be guilty of treason. Lot those who rob .by law and oppress their fellows to gratify their thirst for power beware bow they trifle with an awakened people. "Tho violent political storms of 1888 and 1W2, which first swept the democratic and then the republican party from power in spite of tho weight of patronage which they carried, signify a turbulent condition ot the political atmosphere which plainly foreshadows an approaching crisis. It were hotter that it bo not hastened by the enactment of measures which savor of usurpation and tho extension of class privileges. "I sincerely trust that the work of organisation and education may now be puahod with enorgy throughout all the states. The field Is ours and we must occupy it without delay.

Fraternally yours, J. B. WBAVBR." Another People's Party Congrrftnman. FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Nov. 17.—The Seventh Minnesota congressional district which has been in doubt, elects II. E. Boen, people's party, by 227 plurality over Feig (rep.).

Important Moctiiii of nlhull,. ArrliMnh|,s In York Cllv. NKW YOHK, NOV. LL.—A CNNFERONI'O of the chief dignitaries of the Rnuiun Catholic church in the United States begun at the arehiepiseopal residence of Archbishop Corrigan. nt Madison avenue and Fiftieth street. Questions of the most vital importance to the well-being of the church in this country were discussed at length by the distinguished prelates present. The convention is hold by the desire of l'one Leo XIII., so that the views of the heads of the arcli-dioceses may be obtained in regard to the relations between the Catholic church and the various state governments of this country that have, been a matter of dispute for many years. The interest which the supreme poutill' takes in the matter is shown by the fact that Archbishop Satolli, the papal ablegate who came here from Rome a month ago. took part in the conference.

Cardinal Gibbons presided and Archbishop Corrigan acted as secretary. The other archbishops present were: Most Kev. AN'. H. l£lder. of Cincinnati Most Rev. I'. A. Feehan, of Chicago Most Kev. W. II.

Archbishop Salpointe, of Santa Fe, was represented by llishop Chapelle, of New Mexico, and the venerable Archbishop Kenrick, of St. Louis, by Vicar General I!ra(iy, of that diocese. The proceedings were buhiud closed doors and no details of the order in which tlie subjects discussed were brought up for consideration were given out for publication.

The general discussion at the morning session developed the general opinion that the autonomy of denominational schools should be preserved, giving the local management the right to choose their own teachers, establishing the right of municipal ofiicers to examine the schools in secular branches and granting support of the schools by civil power.

Among other matters it is understood that the convention will be asked by Archbishop Katzer, of Milwaukee, uccurately to define the term "secret, society." This request is in deference to the wishes of the German tho lies of the west, and i* is said to have in view the Knights of Pythias and United Workmen and other societies without spiritual direction which have profited by tlie liberality of the church, while in consequence of this liberality the benevolent societies which have placed themselves under the direction of the church have not prospered to a corresponding-degree: ft
