No Fears About the Blue Label. Buffalo, N. Y Sept. 6. President Strasser, of the International Cigar-makers' Union, was asked to-day for his views on the recent decision of Judge Thayer, in the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis, to the eflect that counterfeiting of the blue label, used on union-made cigars, cannot be prevented or punished. He said the rights of the blue label have already been tested in the St. Louis courts and a permanent injunction was granted against counterfeiting them. When a case went against the blue label in Minnesota the union went to the Legislature and had a law passed giving the label full protection. The blue label has won in every test case so far and no fears are entertained in the St. Louis case. Demands of Canadian Laborers. Montreal, Sept.

Sept ftThe man who figured as the head of the proposed new exodus of negroes from the South is the Rev. T. W. Henderson, pastor of Quinn Chapel, in Chjcago. He is a colored man. and took a leading part in the great exodus of Mississippi negroes to Kansas in 1872. Mr. Henderson was seen to-day, and said that he wa the author of the resolutions adopted hero by tho African Methodist Conference of the Northwest, aud that they were not inspired by any politician or with a view of serving any political party. He said: This movement has been quietly worked for a long time, and will be continued in that way until we have settled Montana and Washington Territories from end to end with refugees. Plantation negroes are no better off now than they were before the war. When they hire out it is for the year, and they contract to buy all their supplies from the masters stores, bo that when they make a final settlement they always come out In debt. So their condition is reallv no better than that of the Mexican peons, who Rh07el forever as creditor or tneir employers. Tne movement is thoroughly organized, and on such a solid basis that no one in tho South will realize how the colored folks have escaped, until all are gone who wish to co. We have a better underirround railroad now than existed in tho days "of old joiin iirown. A Hyphenated Holiday. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 6.

The action of courts in defeating tho publicity of divorce proceedings is in the nature of a conspiracy against justice. Newspapers disagree and miserably quarrel about many things. There is no reform, however, which they cannot accomplish, when they are a unit for it.
