A MAN'S WORST FOE.

Among tho most important action taken by the Knights of Labor at Minneapolis,

whs

that of indorsing tbe pro­

hibition of liquor selling at picnics ant! jmrties of the order. If the Knights and •everybody else shrtuld discard the use of intoxicating liquors altogether it would be a great step forward.

It ih true that there are many inequalities and injustice# in socioty. This has always been so and probably always will le so. That they should be protested against and sought to be eradicated, goes without saying. But what shall be said ,oi the harm, the loss, the hurt to body and mind which a man voluntarily imposes on himself by the use of liquor? So many of the other ilis ho complains of pale into insignificance beside this that it seems almost idle to speak of them. Ho great and beneficent a change in his condition lies within his ••own power to bring about that until he exerts himself to secure it there seems almostan impropriety in hisfurjragainst lesser evils.

Look at tho figures *900,000,000 a year /for liquor and *100,000,000 for tobacco in the United States. Twice as much as it viost for meat and bread both on 1885. What an appalling waste! And that is only the money view of it. To this add the ruin of body, mind and soul the cost of prosecuting criminals mnde so by liquors and of keeping them the cost in human lifo of drunkenness, and the case becom too appalling for utterance.

To besuroall tho liquor Is not drank by worklngtnon. The rich spend enormous stums for drink. Still It cannot be denied that tho working people do consume vast quantities of boor and liquor. And It cannot bo donied that the greater part of their poverty and distress is •traceable to this cause rather than to high taxes, insufficient wages, or the grinding power of monopolies. Pulverize tho ruin habit!

NEW YORK.

Next Tuesday a week tho elections in Ohio, New York and several other States will be held. They may have some bearing upon the next national campaign, especially that of New York. Tho result In Ohio is a foregone conclusion. The only question is as to the size of («ov. Korakor's majority.

The interest eonters in New York where the contest is likely to be eloso. It is conceedod that tho Prohobltlou and Labor votes will determlno the result, Tho Prohobltion vote has boon steadily growing since 18H0 and may be set down at from 4.r»,(K0 to 50,000. TI\o

Labor

vote

is a now and exceedingly uncertain ele merit. The Republicans guosa that It may reach !H),000, the Democrats estimate it at f0,000. The Labor men themsolvos claim not loss than 200,000 votes. The general Impression Is that the lttbor vote will draw much more heavily from the Democrats than from the Republicans and that if it is large onough it will more than olTset tho rrohobition loss of tho Republicans and givo the victor}' to tho lattor.

Tho Interest foil In tho Now York eontost is indicated by the declaration of Harpers' Weekly that a Republican vlo tory might prevent tho renomlnatlon of Mr. Cleveland. There aro many Democrats In New York who would be ploasod to have Gov. Hill the nominee, although it does not now seem possible that any •combination of circumstances could defeat Cleveland's renomlnatlon. The importance of the tight Is realised by both parties and a vigorous campaign is being waged.

LONDON'S MOB.

Every year with the advont of cold •weather the streets of I/ndon witness scenes of disturbance and rioting by the thousands of unemployed workingmen who demand bread for their families. It is a pitiful spectacle, this periodical uprising of a vast horde of hungry and unoccupied men. As in every large city so in Ixmdon there are idlers who vlo not really waut work and would not work if they had the chance. They prefer vice, crime and idleness to honest labor.

Chose outcasts seiito upon every occasion to make trouble and got Into a row. Rut back of them is a vast army of men who would work if they could but who haw no way of earning an honest living for their families. There Is something radically wrong with society when a few groat families possess all the land and have more than they know what to with, while thousands of others are denied the portunity of earning the bare neeeaaltie* of life by honest work. This condition of thing* cannot last always e*the in England or anywhere else. The masse* «»f the people are becoming thoroughly permeated with the idea that At Is not right and thai some remedy for It can aad mu»t be found. Doubtless there will always be wide Inequalities in men's conditions, because mens talents -and capabilities vary widely. But It is reasonable to believe that a time will come when any person who la willing to work will be given the opportunity to .earn his living. That i* not too much to aak or expect,

Soijtairk, Art-, appears to bare been appropriately named. Tbe place ia Mid to be entirely deserted now.

SECKEDTNQ KNIGHTS. The long threatened rebellion in the ranks of the Knights of Labor has come at last. In Chicago a few days ago a number of the dissatisfied delegates met and issued a manifesto which sets forth the various sias of omission and eommlsaion charged against the Powderly management. It is claimed that the cir cular was signed by 35 of the delegates, or about one-sixth of the total number at Minneapolis. These stand for about 100,000 members of the order.

The chief complaint made by the seceeders is that the government of the order is tyranical and autocratic that a few men have taken things entirely into their own hands and have defied the will of the majority. Self-government and opposition to centralization is the cry of the rebels. Doubtless they feel to some extent that they have good cause for complaint in these particulars but personal pique and disappointment evidently have much to do with their action. For some time there has been a radical, anarchistic element in the order that has threatened its disruption. It has sought to control the whole body and being unable to do so, it has at length taken the natural course of open rebellion.

The Knights will be tho better for losing this turbulent element. There will be more harmony among those that remain and the body will be more conservative. Mr. Powderly has been a prudent, sagacious leader and has managed the organization skillfully. It is not at all likely that the Knights could find a man better suited for the office which he fills and the great majority of the Knights recognize this fact and are willing to stand by him. It remains to be seen how long the seceeders can hold together and what they will be able to accomplish.

Utah is goiug to make a hard pull to get Into the Union at the coming session of Congress but Utah ought not to be admitted, however heavily she may come loaded with promises and constitutions on the polygamy question. Once a State she will do as she pleases about polygamy and the government would be powerless to interfere. But polygamy is not the only thing that should keep Utah out of the Union. Mormonism is essentially an un-American institution. It is a union of church and State. It imposes on all its people an annual tax of onetenth of their income for the support of the church. No such institution can be allowed to exist in any State of the American union. Until Mormonism shall be extirpated from Utah root and branch, there should be no thought of admitting it as a State. 1 ty

Thk Baltimore city election occured on Wednesday and was something of a surprise. In spite of independent Democratic defection, the ring Democratic candidate was elected by over 4,000 majority, a Democratic gain of 2,000 since two years ago. The Republicans and independent Democrats charge that the result was duo to the grossest frauds committed by tho Gorman-Higgins gang and that repeaters were used to bring about the election of La Frobe. If after all the efforts of the citizens league in Baltimore to prevent election frauds, the gang has run things as usual, it is a pretty discouraging prospect. The fight for honest elections in Baltimore should only be fairly begun.

Pkof. Palmkr, of Harvard College, has published a pamphlet showing the expenses of studonts at that institution. Taking the last graduating class for a basis it appears that one-fourth of tho class had spent from $450 to 9650 a yoar, another quarter between $650 and $975, a third quarter between $975 and $1,200. The smallest amount spent by any student in any one year was $400 and the largest $4,000. The conclusion is that it requires a very, economical student to live at Harvard on $500 or less a yoar, whilo anything over $1,200 is considered harmful rather than beneficial. It will be seen from this that it costs something to educate a boy at a modern university.

Thk terrible epidemic of typhoid fever in Cincinnati emphasises the importance of a pure water supply. Cincinnati has excellent natural drainage and is usually a healthy city. But just now the very low stage of the Ohio river oauses its water to be foul and from the river the city is supplied. It is believed that the prevalence of the dreadful scourge is due to the impurity of the water used. The disease germs could be destroyed by boiling tho water, but it is hard to get some people to take the trouble which that involves, simple as the process is. They will risk the terrible torments of tho typhus rather than boil their water

Thk snake stories of the season are put to the blush by an agricultural tale from Iowa. It appears that a farmer was us|Ug dynamite cartridges for blowing up stumps and while he was absent a hog swallowed one of them and was kicked by a horse. There was an explosion but no hog. He was gone, hide, bristles and all. There was not enough of him left to discover by the aid of a microscope. Tho horse and another hog were found doad hear by. This story surely deserves the bine ribbon.

Depew, who would doubtless have been the favorite of the two. Mr. Dickens* manner, while Intelligent and pleasing, la rather unsympathetic, which Is exactly the opposite of his famous father's method.

Turning out to be more than wonderful bargains for oorselves and for our customers. We bought our Cloaks early, mrcieh under regular prices, thus giving this department the great boom it enjoys.

Mrs, Short Wraps Says: I Hooked in every Cloak Department in the city for something real nice. I didn't know what I wanted. Hoberg's had juat what suited me. Mrs. Newmarket says: I had an order from a lady living way up North for a Ion* cape Newmarket or Raglan, the best I could find for f8 or $10. Hoberg's had it and I bought it. Mrs. Ptnsk Sacque says: Give me Hoberg's |25.00 Seal IP Plush Sacque. It beats anything I ever saw for Ijt the money. Just as good as others sell for thirty and thirty-five dollars. My neighbors all bought theirs at Hoberg's. Mrs. Child's Cloak says You'll tire of lookiugat childrons' Cloaks at Hoberg s. I never have .seen any thing like it.
