About the 15th of September four white meu employed at the ttave factory near Brunswick, Tenn., in this county, arrested a negro named James Astor on n?ne slight pretext, and, after binding his hands, carried him into a cane brake, where tbey shot him to death. They then tied a sack of mud around bis neck and threw his body into JIatchie river, where it was discovered three days afterwards. W. P. Coffman, one of the men implicated in the murder, was Arrested at Brunswick. The three others lied. Al McMahon, one of the murderers, went lo Ord, Neb.; where he wa arrested by the sheriff tif that county and placed In jail. Two deputy Iheriffs, armd with a requisition from Gov. Kobert L. Taylor, of Tennessee, to Gov. E. J. Thayer, of Nebraska, left ten days ago to brine the fugtive back to justice. They returned to Memphis this morning, empty-handed. Governor Thayer refused to recognize the requisition of Tennessee's Governor, lie makes no excuse, simply saying he Gechned to issue a warant of extradition. This londuct bas created the greatest indignation here. Attorney-general George B. Peters and sther trading attorneys have, so far, been unable to find a parallel case in the books. The livening Scimitar editorially this afternoon fays: "The action of the Nebraska Governor Is deserving of the severest censure. Criminals v. bo flee from Tennessee ned not cross the line to Canada.

Therostoffice Accounts $l,0CO Short A Row Between the Bine-Bloods. Savannah, Oct 5. Captain Williamson, a postoffice inspector,fcame to Savannah on Friday and has been np to his ears in work ever since. To day he had a desk covered with postage stamps of all denominations, which he was sorting out and counting. CoL Clifford Anderson, the assistant postmaster, was standing by, looking on while an account of stock was being taken. The books and accounts are confused, and Captain Williamson was sent down here to straighten them out On Saturday night, after he had left the office, there was a sensational scene betwec-n Postmaster G. W. Lamar and his assistant They got into a dispute about the a flairs of the office, and the dialogue was exciting. Finally Mr. Lamar sent out for a policeman to have Colonel Anderson ejected. When the officer came Major Lamar said: "I order you to arrest that man for disorderly conduct." 'I order you to arrest that man for conduct unbecoming a gentleman," countermanded Colonel Anderson. Major Lamar repeated his order, and Colonel Anderson, folding bis arms across his breast, exclaimed threateningly to the policeman: "I warn yoa that if f-ou lav hands upon me in this government building I will hold you and your superiors responsible." The policeman reflected that he was on government property, and he did not make the arrst Major Lamar then sent for Gen. Robert H. Anderson, chief of police, and brother of Colonel Anderson. The postmaster and General Anderson tried to get the vault key from the assistant, but he refused to turn it over. Another scene was expected this morning upon Colonel Anderson's arrival at the office, but there was cone. He got there at 11 o'clock and found the inspector hard at work. Later in the day Colnel Anderson was asked by a reporter if be had resigned. "I have not," he replied emphatically. Then he drew from his watch pocket a stout iron key, and said that it was the key to the vault lie added that he intended to keep the key, and would give it up at no one's request until the examination is completed by Captain Williamson. To-night, however, the inspector bas it. Colonel Anderson held out for a good while that he would go to jail before he would surrender the key, but finally gave it up. So far as can be learned, the accounts are about $1,000 short This may be the result of bad book-keeping, or it may have been taken. From a signiiicant remark which Colonel Anderson made, it would be inferred that it has been stolen. He was asked if there were not other keys to the vault, and he evaded adirect answer and replied: ''There are some d d thieves in the office." The examination of accounts will not be completed for two or thrne days yet The postmaster will appoint another assistant. Sliurp Secure m Stay. Albany, N. Y., Oct. G.

.VICTORY FOE THE LEAGUERS

The Court Dismisses the Summonses Issued Against Sullivan and O'Brien. The Tories Begin to Reap the Results of Efforts to Govern Ireland by Laws Not Applicable to Other Parts of the Empire. Possibility of Trouble Growing Out of the Present Situation in Morocco. Fresh Alarm in Germany Over the Danger to Which the Crown Prince Is Beljeved to Bo Exposed Other Ocean Cable News. AN IRISn VICTORY. Failure of the Prosecutions Itrnnght Against Lord Mayor Sullivau and Mr. O'Brien. Special to the lndiauanolis Journal. London, Oct 6. The action of the court in dismissing the summonses against Lord Mayor Sullivan and Mr. O'Brien after the short season of bluster on the part of the Dublin officials brings the bungling methods cf the government to a climax and hastens the expression of English disgust at the lack of tact and ability of the Tory Ministry to deal with the question of the hour, and will so favorably manifest itself as to drive the purblind blunderers from power. It is now patent to everybody that to govern Ireland by means of the coercion laws is utterly impossible, and to no one is this fact more plainly apparent than to the Ministers themselves. Bad as these laws were, had the government been content to enforce them fairly and fully when their application was necessvry, they might have found abundant support in England and little violent opposition in Ireland, but the power the new statutes conferred upon the Irish officials, from the Dublin executive down to the most recently appointed constable, bas in every case been abased, and there is no doubt that at least one-third of the members of the House of Commons what voted for the passage of the crimes bill are now ashamed of having done eo. Probably no one feels more keenly the failnre of the court to convict Messrs. Sullivan and O'Brien than does Mr. Balfour. Mr. O'Brien's release at Mitchelstown, pending his appeal, was a severe blow to the pride of the Irish secretary, and the subsequent speeches and triumphal progress of Mr. O'Brien have still further exasperated him. If Mr. O'Brien conld have been convicted to-day he would have been sent to jail immediately and kept there until the period of his appeal had expired, when hjjs original sentence would go into effect As it is now, it is extremely unlikely that the sentence imposed upon United Ireland's editor will ever be carried out, and Mr. Balfour will have to look further for means by which to obtain bis revenge for the uncomplimentary things bis political enemy has said of him. The government has ordered the suspension of the Gweedore evictions, in consequence of the discovery that English public opinion is decidedly opposed to tbe manner in which they have been conducted. This feeling has been greatly strengthened by the fact that the police unhesitatingly threw down their rifles and declared they would take no further part in work of such unnecessarily brutal nature, end the govern- JL oient, besides, wishing to avoid auemr iing to stem the strong current of popular opinion, became fearful that the defection in the ranks of the police might spread to proportions beyond control. The days of brutal eviction in Ireland would seem to be drawing very nearly to an end. The Dublin Freeman's Journal publishes four columns of reports of National League meetings held on Sunday in Clare, Cork. Keiry and Wexford. At the meetings resolutions were passed denouncing the attempts of the government to suppress the league and the prosecution of O'Brien and Lord Mayor Sullivan, of Dublin. Tbe Proceedings at Dublin. To the Western Associated Trees. Dublin, Oct. 6. The trial of Lord Mayer Sullivan and Mr. O'Brien for publishing in the papers respectively controlled by them reports of meetings of suppressed branches of the National League will open at the Mansion Bouse court this afternoon. At this bonr 1:30 p. si. -great crowds of people line the route which will be taken by the Lord Mayor and Mr. O'Brien, and the corporation of the city which will attend them in state during the trial. The Lord Mayor was driven to the court in a carriage, which was followed by Messrs. John Dillon, M. P., ex-Lord Mayor E. Dwyer Gray and Charles Dawson. ex-Sheriff Peter McDonald, and others. The city marshal, wearing a cocked hat and a sword, led the civic dignitaries, who were t.11 arraved in the full robes of their offices. Mr. O'Brien joined the procession soon after it started, and proceeded to the court The streets through which tbe procession passed to the court were thronged, and thaLord Mayor and Mr. O'Brien were the recipients of a great ovation along tbe entire route. Policemen wandered singly through the crowd. A cordon of police surrounded the Mansiou House and prevented the crowd from approaching the courtroom. There were fifty municipal officers present in the tbe court After the case had been called by the magistrate a warm dispute occurred between the police attendants in the court and Mr. Sexton, member of Parliament and high sheriff of Dublin, anting from the desire of the latter to place the city's sword and mace before the magistrate. Tbe police attempted to prevent the placing of city emblems on the table, whereupon Mr. Sexton an! other municipal officers seized the sword and attempted to place it there by force. The police and municipal officers struggled for the possession of the sword, while the spectators in the gallery cheered Mr. Sexton and exhorted him to "hold on," After a few minutes both sides desisted, and, after a parley, a compromise was effected, and the sword was placed on the magistrate's bench. After the adjustment of the difficulty in the body of the court, the corporation officers retired to the seats which had been reserved for them in the gallery. Mr. O'Brien did not enter tbe court to answer the summons which had been issued gainst him. When qriet was restored in the court-room, the case of Mr. Sullivan was proceeded with. Mr. Carson appeared as coun sel for the crown, and Mr. Timothy Healy ap peared for tne deiense. After hearing the evidence the' court dismissed the case, on the ground that the crown had cot proved that the meeting reported in the Nation was a meeting of a supposed branch of the National League. I he spectators and the crowd outside of the court-room were wildly enthusiastic over the decision. The case of Mr. O'Brien will be called to morrow. In the streets there was a scene of wild en thusiasm. Tbe crowd was so great it almost prevented the progress of the civic procession, The Tory newspaper offices were hissed by the peopl. The Lord Mayor, on arriving at the Mansion House, made a speech referring to the result of his trial, in which he said the National press had been victorious in its first tussle with a coercive government, and the tews would eladden the hearts of Parnell and Gladstone. The only way to defeat the infamous coercion law was to defy it. As for himself, the plank upon which he was to sleep in jail had not been sawn. GENERAL FOREIGN SEWS. New Phases of the Situation In Morocco Which Are Likely to Cause Trouble. LoNDON.Oct a The Paris Debats's assertion that France has no desire to occupy any part of Morocco is entirely unofficial, and therefore bas no weight with the powers that believe the French republio is contemplating the very action the newspapers disavow in her behalf. Spain strongly suspects that France is meditating a coup on the frontier of Morocco, and is, in consequence, making preparations to prevent such a movement The fact that the French government has uttered a semi official denial of the statement that French troops are being massed on the Algerian frontier sugeests to Spain the possibility, st least, that such action b being taken, and the likelihood that trouble

will ensue as the outcome of the new phases of

tnepontcai situation in Morocco is growing stronger daily. : : . Fresh Alarm Over Frederick William. London, Oct 6. The fact of the Crown Prince Frederick William coins to Lago Maggiore is taken as confirmation of the wide spread German belief that be is not only suffer ing from general debility, but that his throat trouble, never under the control of his English physician, is much worse than it has been at any time since tbe patient forsook his regular doctor for the London specialist German physicians, not only those who formerly attend ed the Prince, but other equally skilled prac titioners, have never for a moment ceased to distrust Dr. Mackenzie diagnosis of the case. and are now more than ever fearful that be has been overconfident and permitted professional pride to impair his judgment Why the Sultan Hesitates. St. Peteesbukg, Oct 6. DeGiers declares that the Turkish proposals looking to the ap pointment of a Itusso-Turkish commission to temporarily govern Bulgaria, cannot assume substantial form until the Sultan summons Prince Ferdinand to leave Bulgaria. The advice of England. Austria and Italy to the Sultan abstain from violence in Bulgaria paralyzes his action. The FJgbtini: la Afghanistan. Lahore, Oct. 6. The fighting between the . forces of the Ameer of Afghanistan and the rebel j is continuous. The warfare is carried on with varied success. The salient features of the situation are Omra Khan's success in Bajau and Swat and Russian activity on the Badakshan frontier. . Cable otes. The Independence Beige believes that the -Bismarck-Crispi interview will modify Italy's policy in Africa and induce King Humbert to abandon the expedition against the King of Abyssinia. - Several fresh shocks of earthquake have been felt along tne shores of the Gulf of Corinth, and the inhabitants of the threatened region are de serting their homes and taking refugee in the interior. Larry Donavan, of New York, who gained the consent of the police by assuring them that there was no danger, jumped from Waterloo bridge, London, yesterday, in the presence of thousands of spectators. . ; Tbe Social conference at St Galle closed yesterday. The general result of the deliberations is believed to be the consolidation of the Socialist party throughout Europe. The conference decided to convoke the international labor congress during 1888, and adopted resolutions protesting against anarchical theories. The shortly-to-be-inaugurated Lord Mayor of London is not only remarkable as being a native-born Belgian, but tbe First Roman Catholic to occupy the position. He came to England after having attained his majority, started a saloon, then opened a little hotel, grew rich, bloomed out as a financier, and is now worth many millions sterling. Klopp, tbe German historian, has presented the Pope with the complete correspondence between Leopold I and Father Marco Daviano, the Pone's legate, during the Turkish incursion of 18G3. To each of the sovereigns who sent jubilee gifts the Pope will present a specially painted miniature portrait of himself. The Pope is especially pleased with Queen Victoria's gift and his acknowledgment will be exceptionally cordiaL The New Hampshire Bribery Case. Concord, N. H., Oct 6. The House judiciary committee resumed its hearing this morning upon tbe reported alleged attempted bribery of members in connection with railroad matters. Stillman Merill, Representative from Dorchester, testified that some . three weeks ago Mr. Calef, Representative from Barrington, asked him how he felt on railroad questions, and also asked if he would change his mind for $1,000. Calef knew the witness was against tbe Ilazen bill, as the witness had talked with him. Calef said: "I'll give you $1,000," or "You can have 41,000." the witness did not remember which. James W. Cath, Representative from Manchester, testified that one Alfred Quimby, who knew he was in favor ot the Concord road, said he did not want to buy anybody, bat when the witness made up his mind that the Hazen bill was all rieht and voted for it he could expect $1,000. The witness spoke to Quimby, and -said he hoped he would be on the tame side. The witness understood he would get $1,000 if he voted for the bilL Alonzo B. Lang, of Alton, testified that Frank Jones, who knew the wituess, was an engineer: interviewed him about three weeks ago, and wanted him to work for the Hazen bill, saying the witness could have a good job and $300 in addition. The witness refused to be bribed, and Jones disclaimed any such intention. Nebraska Republicans. Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 6. The Republican State convention, after the renomination of Judge Samuel Maxwell as judge of the Supreme Courr, completed the ticket by the nomination of R, B. Davis and George Roberts as regents of the State University. The convention spent most of the night wrangling over the platform. Tbe railroad, prohibition and anti-railroad men consumed considerable time in discussing the methods of referring resolutions to the committee. It was agreed to read all resolutions, the convention then to refer them to a committee with instructions for them to report back their action thereon. A large number were read, mostly bearing on the rate of charges of railroads within the State. The most important were from ex-Senator Van Wyck and ex-Congressman Valentine. Tbe platform condemns a system of revenue that compels the farmers of the West to pa; tribute to the manufacturers i f the East, favors pensioning Union soldiers, sympathizes with Ireland, commends the efforts of Parnell and Gladstone,, pledges the party to submit a prohibitory amendment, condemns tbe the President for his attempt to return tbe flag3, favors the admission of Dakota, views with alarm the abuse of the veto power by the President, and sustains tbe board of transportation in its effort to secure reasonable freight and passenger xates. The Chicago Encampment, Chicago, Oct. 6. Prize drills by battalions end companies were on the programme at the military encampment to-day. The Second Minnesota Battalion went through the evolutions and were heartily cheered.

Riley, of this city, are in a critical condition from poisoning from the use of face powder, known as "Snow Flake." The use of the fingers and arms was lost, and violent pains in the limbs and stomach followed. The first symptoms were noticed five years ago, but neither knew what it was. For the past few days Kate, who was once pretty, but who is now a mere skeleton, began having spasms every half hour, and is now in a critical condition. A local physician says it is doubtful if she ever recovers, and should she 1U e she will never be healthy again, as white lead from the wash is in ber system. Steamship News. Boston, Oct 6.

The Question of Anarchy Treated in Tlain and Very Emphatic Language, The General Master Workman Declaring that Every Avowed AwaVchist Should at Once Ba Compelled to Leave the Organization. Minneapolis, Oct 6. The Knights of Labor convention opened at 9:15 a. m., with a motion to suspend rules and appoint a committee to draft resolutions to the memory of Thomas A. Armstrong. Mr. Foster, of Massachusetts, moved to amend by substituting a committee of seven to raise money to pay for a monument to his memory. General Master Workman Powderly called upon H. A. Carlton to take the chair while he delivered a tribute to the memory of Armstrong, after which the following telegram was read: Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 5. T. V. Powderly Old friends of Thomas A. Armstrong, representing all labor organizations in this city, ar.d the military organizations ot which he was a member, organized to appropriately bury hitn, last night merged itself into a temporary r.ssuciation for the purpose of erecting a monument to his memory as one of the champions of organized labor. A permanent organization will be perfected on Friday evening, and we advise you thus early, asking your co-operation, in order that the General Assembly of Knigbs of Labor may act appropriately in the premises, thus affording an opportunity for organized labor to redeem itself against the slanders ibat it is not true to the memory of the noble men who champion its cause.

Our interests are iclentica'; msy success trown every good effort. T. V. POWIEBLT. For over four hours this afternoon the stillness in Harmonia Hall was broken only by the voice of one man and frequent bnrsts of applause. It was a strong, clear voice when it started, but before the close it was hoarse and cracked. The speaker, or rather the reader, was General Master Workman Powderly, and the matter was his annual address to the General Assembly. It was contained in a pamphlet of sixty-four pages of closely printed type. Fifty-five pages were devoted to a history of the troubles in the organization during the past twelve months, and about four of the remaining nine to suggestions for its improvement and development The speaker started with the statement that the last session of tbe ' General Assembly was held amid the clamor of discontented men, the warring of factions and dissensions within the ranks, which were enlarged upon and scattered to the world by enemies within and without To-day there was but one objection able feature which stood in the way of the success of the convention, and this was of so unimportant a nature that he would not refer to it. The delegates understood this to refer to the Anarchist resolution, and there was applause and counter applause. A sharp rap of the gavel restored order, and the speaker at once plunged into a history of the Chicago stockyards' strike of last year, which was summarily ended by the executive board. This occupied the attention of the convention for over an hour. All the correspondence which passed between the general master workman, the odcers of the assemblies on strike, and Messrs. Barry and Carlton, of the executive board, who visited Chicago at the time to investigate the trouble, was read in detail. Incidentally the speaker charged that the message ordering the strike off, which was prematurely published, was picked off the wires and given to the press by somebody connected with the telegraph service. "Summing up the matter," tbe speaker said, "there is no doubt that these men were in earnest in the belief that they were carrying out the principles of the order. I contended, and now contend, that when the time comes to put one or more of the principles of the order in practice or before the public, it is the duty of the General Assembly to order its executive board to do so, or it is the duty ot the board to act in the matter. I believe that the men of the stockyards should work but eight hours". I believe that all laboring men should work no more than eight hours, but before a move is made in that direction we should carefully consider the interests of all concerned, as well as tbe prospects of success for the undertaking. What the General Assembly orders me to do will be done in preference to any command or suggestion from any other source." In discussing the subject the speaker denied the charge, which was made during the trouble, that he was acting under church influence, and explained that he did not reply to a dispatch received from Father Fiannigan, of St. Ann's Church, of the town of Lake, urging a speedy settlement of the difficulty, because he did not want to place him (the pastor) in the position of interfering in tbe matter. The speaker next went into the question of the order and anarchy. He said: "I have never, as has been so often asserted in the press of the land, confounded socialism with anarchy. I draw a wide line of distinction between the two. as every readiug, thinking man must When ever I have had occasion to say anything concerning anarcby it has been reported that I assailed socialism. I have said very little concerning either one, except from the public platform, and to my mind altogether too much prominence nas been given to the subject by tbe press. Within the order not enough of interest has been awakened until lately regarding the matter. It was taken for granted that the order, being so large and influential, could afford to ignore the question, and could afford to put up with the presence of a tew of the rankest An archists. I have thought otherwise, and because I have taken issue with these men in their ef forts to make the order ot the Knights of Labor subordinate to the demands of those known as the Anarchist element, I have been taken to task more than once. Some of onr prominent members, in speaking of these things, have said: Powderly is onlv speaking for nimseir when he assails the Anarchists.' I will lay the case before this General Assembly, and when I have done so, will ask of this body to say whether I was right or not. I will also ask of the Ge neral Assembly to define tbe position ot tne order on the attempts that have been made to prostitute it to sued base uses as tbe Anarchists would put it 1 have never publicly uttered a sentiment regarding the course of the seven men who are condemned to death in Chicago (this is written Sept. 10. 1887.) -I will How give my opinion.

tbey should not be hanged. If they are to be hanged for the actions of others, it is not just The man who threw the bomb in Chicago should be hanged, and his accomplices should receive the punishment allotted to snch offeases by the laws of the State of Illinois. Before the public I have never said a word concerning these men. I have sever felt called upon to say anything, for it is none of my business: yet tome of their friends have put words of condemnation in my mouth in order to have me say something in their favor. I allowed it to go, as I have many other false reports concerning me. undis

puted. X felt that if they could stand it, I could." Continuing, tbe speaker said that bis connection with anarchy within the order dated from Nov. 2G, 1836, when he received a letter front Mrs. Rodgers. master workman of District Assembly 24, of Chicago, advising him that a resolution of sympathy with the Anarchisms had been passed by the body, and that meanwhile its members were moving heaven and earth to secure the release of the condemned men, and to utilize the order for building up a political party to be controlled and manipulated by the Anarchists and sympathizers as a propaganda of the nefarious doctrines concerning the domestic circle, government and tenure. Then followed a voluminous correspondence, interspersed with comments. By inference the speaker denied that be helped to down Robert Nelson, the labor nominee for Mayor of Chicago, or that he had forbidden the members of the order to attend the funeral of Mrs. Neebe, the wife of the imprisoned Anarchist These and other charges were denounced as impertinent and rascally. The speaker denied that beeause the General Assembly at Richmond recommended the condemned men to the mercy of the Governor the entire order was committed to their unqualified support, and admitted that there were times during the year when it was with the greatest difficulty that the order was saved from a crisis over this matter. In concluding. Mr. Powderly said: "I have not in any way, interfered in the internationr.1 affairs of any of tbe various societies to which any of these men may belong, and, in doing what I did, faithfully carried out the instructions received from my predecessor, and have lived up to the obligation I took when installed as master workman. I place them before yoa so that steps may be taken to put a stop to the interference of the Anarchists in the affairs of this order. I am not actuated by malioe, spite, a desire for revenge, or for any other purpose than to shield the order from the attacks of men who have grown insane on the subject of bringing the millennium to the few after they have blown the many to atoms. The resolution which should pass is one to demand that every avowed Anarchist be obliged to withdraw from the order, or be expelled. We have nothing to fear from the trade-unions, but everything to fear from the contaminating influence of tho men who preach destruction in the name of our order, and who, at the same time, assert that they are Socialists, while giving the lie to every principle of socialism when they advocate violence of any kind. I believe it to ba the part of duty for me to warn our order when its very life is in danger, when it is threatened from any source, and knowing that the destruction of the Knights of Labor was planned at a meeting in which these men took part, . I now say that this General Assembly must take action on the matter of allowing interference to come from such a quarter. I have here tho proofs cf the plotting and scheming of these conspirators to do damage to the name of labor, and will present them at the proper time. Thac I have been denounced by these people is only because I would not aliow tbem to dictate the policy of the Knights of Labor, and whoever takes my place must do the same or the order sinks into oblivion. You now have all tho principal correspondence on anarchy; you know what I have done; you know my position, and I leave the matter with you for final aotion." The Home Club next eame in for a large share of consideration; more correspondence was submitted, some of it going back for five years. In the most emphatic terms the speaker denied that he was under its influence or that of any other club. He had been accused of every crime by tbe members of the order in New York, but be bad never murmured. It was not the Home Club, but promises made a year ago that induced him to go to New York to speak for Henry George. He demanded that those who had made the charges during the past year should, produce hL cow and allow the highest .tribunal in the order to deal' with them. He considered that cliques, cabals, and rings inside, the order were criminal, and he had acted in accordance with this belief. In closing thia branch of the address Mr. Powderly said: "When the last General Assembly adjourned the officers were attacked in a most vicious manner by some of those who were present at the. General Assembly. I believe that this General Assembly should rebuke such conduct, and do it in such a way as to 'leave do doubt ou. the minds of those who seek revenge for insult3, or fancied insults, through the columns of the publie press. Whenever it becomes necessary to differ from a member on any question it can be done inside of the order and without betrayine a vindictive spirit in the doing of it It is clearly in violation of the pledge which every man takes to attack another's reputation through the public press, particularly before giving bim an opportunity to defend himself before the courts of our order. I have with me the history of the men who have acted in official capacities and who have slandered the officers of this order, and if it is required by the General Assembly it will be forthcoming. I believe that the evil deeds of prominent members of the General As sembly who have held tbe order and its omcert: up to public ridicule and scorn should be known to the order." Applause followed this, and the speaker paused for a mordent to take breath. Resuming, he read his circular of May last, recommending that on the Fourth of July all the assemblies of tbe order should hold demonstrations and celebrate, and asked for its approval. He also presented a lengthy letter declaring unconstitutional the resolution passed at the last session of the General Assembly expelling the cigar-makers, on the ground that it was wrong and in violation of the laws of tbe order, and solicited for it serious consideration. Passing on to tbe general good of tbe order, the sneaker said that the day had come for united labor to ask at the hands of Congress the passage of a law creating a Department of Labor at tbe seat of the national government, and suggested that the committee on legislation pre pare a bill and cause it to be introduced at the next session. The day had arrived, moreover, when the General Assembly should take action upon that clause in the declaration of principles which declares that tbt government should obtain possession by purchase, under the right of eminent domain, of all telegraphs, telephones and railroads, and the order should eo before the next Congress and ask for the passage of one or two measures for the governmental control of railroads and telegraph lines. A universal benefit plan, which would give members relief in sickness and provide for their burial, was also recommended, together with a scheme for the better regulation of State, Territorial, mixed and trade assemblies, which bas already been published. The speaker expressed a hope that the Canadian delegation would not ask for a separate jurisdiction under threats of secession from the order, and sugeested that tbe provinces of Ontario and Quebec should establish provincial assemblies and try the result before asking for separation. Referring to the charges of his connection with socialism, Mr. Powderly said that a complimentary card of membership in the Socialistic Labor party had once been sent him. but that he had never cast a vote for its candidates, was never a member of any of its sections nor had any connection with it At tbe eame time, socialism had nothing in common with anarcby, and, according to Webster's definition, the principles of the order were socialistic, and he would ask for no better or exalted form of socialism than was outlined in its constitution. Tbe speaker severely criticised the practice of caucussing and lobbying in connection with the proceedings of the General Assembly, and declared that it should be classed as an offense punishable with expulsion from the order for any member to engage in lobbying. He told the delegates that if they didn't like the constitution they bad a right to alter and amend it as much they pleased, and he admitted that there were many things in it that ought to be changed, la concluding he said: "If your general master workman is' seen talking to a capitalist or entering the office of a man of wealth that moment the demagogue's cry gees forth that he is selling out the labor movement The man at the bead of this order should be permitted to exercise his own judgment in many cases not defined by law. , He should not be made a target by members for shafts of suspicion, envy and malice; and if he must be so charged, in the General Assembly la tbe only place where it should be spoken, and not upon the street corners. Nihilism, from what I have read of it has one redeeming feature: No matter where an officer is seeu, no matter in what company he may appear, be is supposed by his associates to be doing the work of his order, and he stands above suspicion. I have held the reins of this order since Sept 5, 1S79. I know bow many things could have been done that would redound to the best interests of labor, but knowing that the finger of suspicion would point out the spot for the tongue of Blander to assail, and knowing that my very effort would go for nothing, and worse than, nothing, I refrained. 1 believe the general mas-
