At nine o’clock last evening it was known that the knights had ordered the firemen on the New York Central to leave their cabs at six o’clock this morning.1 The probable effect of this order is not easy to estimate. The knights profess to believe that all wheels will stop. The officers of the road say they will be able to run all passenger trains and have men to spare. The Rnighes of Labor leaders justify their resort to extreme measures by the refusal of Vice-President Webb to accept a proposition made by John J. Hayes, of the general executive board, this evening to submit the matters in dispute to arbitration. Mr. Webb told Mr. Hayes there was nothing to arbitrate. SlassucUnsctts’ I’opal ttlon.

_JttHRUTAL ATTACK. rgans of the JSaiir.T *tamS Caa*0if»«f Iiuult Nortkersi “Stand. Back, Doughfacesl” is the ead-lino President HaifnMit's home i’gan, the Indianapolis Journal. pats ver an editorial on the mailed-hand olicy of the Republican patty. It is idressing in this comprehensive and mphatic way the 4,000.WOO Democrats utslde of the “reconstructed States” •ho voted fotf Mr. Clevelftnd in 1SS8, hi 1878, when the Presidency was toied and a usurper seated in the Vhite Bouse, these Bemocrats stood ack. lfl 1888, wberl New To# and ndiana were colonised! when the elecion was decided by the iJiosey Msed to ote .floaters in blocks (if five, these temocrats stood back. They stood back (hen Mr. M. S. Quay announced hat the Republican party would hold fcragress with the mailed hand; they tood back when the precedents of a entury’ were nullified by the Reedludley conspiracy in the House of Repesentatives; they stood back when the lemocratic minority in the House was fagged; when Democrats were unseated o enable the Plutocratic league to Urry out its policy of oppressing the nasses. They stood back when the dontana Scnators were stolen and the ienate was fraudulently packed for the jerpetuation of Plutocracy. And they ire standing back still. After all this Mr. Harrison’s organs jnce more assail thee with the cry: "Stand back, doughfaces!”

It is impossible, gentlemen. The Democrats of the unreconstructed States ;an stand back no further, If you steal Another Presidential election; if you de»rive them of their rights with the nailed hand, they will be obliged to stand forward. They love peace. They ire the conservative element of this country. Their principles and their idelity to them have time and again saved tho country from chaos. They nave made great sacrifices for peace. They have hoped for reforms; they have waited patiently for the era of radicalism to pass; fur oppression to exhaust itself; for the lore of liberty to reassert itself once more. And after ail this comes once more the old cry: “Stand back, doughfaces!” They will not. They will stand forward—as far forward as duty and their tove of liberty leads them. If they are to be smitten in the face with the mailed hand of fraud and violence, it Will be found that the face is not dough; that it can bo set to iron hardness against insolent oppression* The first and highest duty of the million Democratic voters in the reconstructed States is to endure and wait The highest duty of the 4,000,000 Democrats of tho unreconstructed States is to keep the peace and defend American liberties. They are Democrats, not bullies. They have no threats to-make, but we warn the mailed hand conspirators that a successful coup d'etat is impossible in America. The history of policy-to examine the situation carefully with a view of ascertaining how far they are right in presuming that there is something in the air of the North and West which makes a Democrat a “doughface?’ a supine coward, oh whom the utmost insult, the greatest injuries and the worst oppressions maybe safely inflicted.—St Louis Republic* FEDERAL SUPERVISION.

A Measure ObnoJiiodft W a Rspablioafi Form of OoTerum?nt< The purpose of the Republican party in the Federal elections bill is to place the election of members of the House of Representatives under the control of Federal office-holders, and its scope is such that it will virtually control the election of the various State officers, abrogating State laws enacted to secure fair elections. The bill provides for tbs appointment of a chief supervisor in every ■ judicial district in the United States. There are seventy of these districts. The chief supervisors sppoint three supervisors for each voting precinct, who are practically to conduct the election. Two of these officers are to be selected from one party and the third from the opposite party, but the majority are to have the power todecide upon all matters that coma before them. This is a very cunningly devised scheme for partisan purposes. All of the election machinery is placed in the hands of partisan hoards, and they can return as elected to Congress whoever they, may see fit the States having no power to control their action in counting the votes or certifying to the returns, nor can they punish them for any crimes or frauds committed under this bill. The promoters of this bill know in advance that nine out of ten of the chit f supervisors appointed will he Republicans; they will appoint the supervisors at each voting precinct, and it is absolutely certain that two of these men will be Republicans, who will have complete control of the board. Deputy marshals are to be appointed without limit as to number, to attend upon registration and voting.' The bill authorizes these Federal officers to make a house-to-house canvass throughout each district. The doors of every dwelling must be flung open to these partisan spies, many of whom will he negroes, and all questions about the family history which they may be disposed to ask must be answered, of arrest and imprisonment will follow. No scheme could have been devised by the worst enemies of the South better calculated to renew sectional hatred. A bill more obnoxious to a Republican form of government was never presented to a legislative body. Its purpose is wholly partisan, and emanated from a few politicians whose desire is to perpetuate themselves in power, though to do 90 it be necessary to revolutionise the Government and take from the people the last vestige of thsli rights. ) It is the first attempt in the history of our Government to wrest from 'tht people the election of their representatives and place it in the hands of an immense army of Federal officers. This bill, in my judgment, should i become a law, will revive the old sec tional feeling and bring about a con fliot between the white and oolorei races. It will tern back the wheels o progress and depress the industries no only in that section bat tbroitghou the entire country.

HU Hear* Set on the Pw»r of tlio lodge Force Bill. u That Speaker Heed is in many respects an able man no one will deny. When on the floor of the House be was a ready and effective debater. His language was simple and vigorous, and ho never made the mistake of talking too long. As presiding officer he has added to his reputation in a certain way. Ho Is remarkably quick in his decisions and never loses bis head. Whenever ho has gene wrong it has been with malice aforethought. In other words, though he has mental attributes that qualify him for the place in the highest degree, he is lacking in the moral attributes that are indispensable to make a man a good Speaker. He is as conspicuous for unfair treatment of bis political opponents as his predecessor was for absolute impartiality. He is as tyrannical as Bismarck, and would limit tho function of the'House to the simple duty of assec ting to his decrees.

It is now reported that Mr. need nas determined that the Senate shall the force bill befor? ad journment He is credited with saying that he will keep Congress sitting the year around, in order to accomplish his object He has set his heart upon having a law enacted that may be used to cripple the Southern Democrats. Though he approves of ah outrageously high tariff, and therefore gives his sanction to the McKinley bill, that measure is to hi of secondary importance. Possibly may have doubts of its advisability. must certainly know that there issiderable uncertainty as to the wisdom' of passing it in its. present shape. Bi the force bill he regards as the salv tion of the Republican party. He know as we all know, that it will result rioting and bloodshed. His judgi is that this will arouse the feeling sectional hatred to which his party hat long owed its existence, and which he thinks is.still strong enough, under proper management, to prevent a return the Democrats to power. It is true beyond a question that the animosities that were fanned to fever heat by the war have not yet died The bloody shirt elected Harrison. But it mu3t not be forgotten that every year is adding to the list of voters hundreds of young men both in the South and ii the North who are not divided in sentiment as their fathers were. They were satiated with war talk long ago. The,Southerners admit that they were beaten and that they ought to have been beaten. The Northerners in their intercourse with them do not irritate them by referring to the subject in an offensive manner. South and North would join hands as they never have done since tne foundation of the Gov--—a i? these young men could have Does the Speaker take this into account? Apparently not.

How foolish President Cleveland was to worry his head, over such a little matter as a surplus! Henceforth it is not a theory, nor a condition, but * a fact that. will confront the public.— N. Y.

It need not be^ assumed that Mr. Blaine has the criminal purpose of using this paltry dispute to force a war which would be a calamity to both countries and to civilization, but if the dispute is continued, an accident is liable to occur at any time to make war unavoidable. The matter roust not drag farther. Let it be arbitrated and settled at once.—St Louis Bepublic. * Yielding to Popular Pressure. There has come a sudden and a sharp and a significant break in the continuity of indorsements off high tariff by Republican conventions. Hitherto all , the State conventions of the Republican party held tbie year and such of the district and county conven tions as adopted resolutions have approved the MoKinley bill, such important conventions as those of Ohio and Pennsylvania sanctioning that bill even after it became reasonably certain tbat the Senate will materially modify it. But the convention in Minnesota, for years looked upon as the most radical and uncompromising of all Republican States, not merely avoided ■ commending the McKinley bill but it ignored the probabilities of Senate al1 te rations and actually points the way to ; free trade by favoring reciprocity with : South sad Central America and by demanding that all articles manufactured i or controlled by trusts and monopolies , b* put on the fr$e UBt,-Cieveland tfftiii .
