MASTER WORKMAN POWDERLY on
his return to Philadelphia from his
western trip tLe other day was in an
ugly temper about the newspapers and
said that hereafter the order of the
Knights of Labor will change its
tactics entirely. For the last year they
spoke freely about the growth of the
order and its increasing iulluence.
But since the press attacked the K. of
L. and Mr. Powderly, his orders to
the Knights are "Mum."
TOT congressional apportionment
bill passed the senate finally on Tues
day and is now ready for the Govern
or's signature. Among other bills
passed finally was the one increasing
the compensation of witnesses attend

sioners to build bridges or aid in
building bridges the erection of which
would require more expense than it is
reasonable one or two adjoining town
ships should bear. The bill appropri

mansion improvements also passed
finally. la the House a large number
of bills passed finally and some third
reading. The members are working
hard to get through with their busi
ness before adjournment to-day.
TOT recent striko of the Chicago
bricklayers who op to this time stub
bornly refuse to go back to work,clear*
]y manifests that in the last ten years
a slavery system has sprung into ex
istence which is as detestable and as
injurious to the industrial interests of
this country as was the slavery of the
negroes before the late rebellion. The
only difference is that now the slaves
are the white people who have volun
tarily put on the yoke of slavery.
They are the men who belong to
Labor Unions and who are cowed
into subservience by the leaders whom
they themselves have set up as their
dictators. Like so many frightened
sheep they are driven by the thous
ands, anywhere, even to want and
starvation. More than that, the true
value of labor is greatly reduced
through the unwillingness of these
men to make a distinction between
good and inferior work They demand
the same wages for the work of s bun
gler or novice as they would for that of
an experienced and good workman.
Such unreasonableness will naturally
have a tendency to discourage skillful
labor. The desire to excel will grow
less and ambition will be an unknown
thing,when good work i 3 worth no
more than inferior work. It is right
and commendable for workingmen to
form organizations for mutual benefit
and to discuss and provide the best
ways and means to protect and advance
their interests,hut when they sacrifice
all power of will and privilege of free
thinking and blindly follow the dic
tates of selfish leaders ft is about time
to call a halt.
OVKR 133,000 emmigrants have
come to this ''land of the free and
home of the brave'' since the first of
January, 1887. The tide of immigra
tion is said to be stronger now than
it has been since '49 and 'SO, the ma
jority coming from Ireland.
The Rev. John L. Riordan was
questioned to-day regarding this im
migration. ''Yes," he said, "the
present flow of immigrants to this
country is without precedent within
the last third of a century. They are
coming from all parts of Europe as
fast as transportation can be found for
them. They are all a good class of im
migrants, mostly with families, with- a
large proportion of vigorous, healthy
young people. The Scandinavians
are a very desirable class of immi
grants. They come to stay and go
\\ e&t at once, taking up land and be
coming prosperous farmers. They as
similate readily and adapt themselves
to the country. The Irish are more
gregarious, and like to hang around
the great cities. They ar natural
politicians, and make themsclyes per
fectly at home here. As a general
tiling they do not like farming, hut
prefer clerical work. The women find
ready employment as house servants,
and are taken up as fast as they como.
Within a couple of months they have
adopted American fashions and man
ners. The Italians come to do the
work the Irish used to do. They are
ready and willing for any employ
ment, however servile. They become
street sweepers, railroad builders and
diggers generally. They live close,
save their money, and then go back
to Italy to set up as counts. They
are not the most desirable class of im
migrants, and do not contribute to the
permanent growth and prosperity of
the country as do the Scandinavians
and Irish."
The Duty of Workiiigiucn.
Xt ir York Jlcmttl.
If workingmen want reform, not of the
pinclilteek kind—the kind that the jmlitie
schemers howl about when they want to
get the "ins" out and got themselves in—
hut the genuine article, eighteen carats tine,
they eau have it by pulling altogether and
pulling with all their strength. It is a
grand day for the Republic when the tailor
ing classes organize for the pur|tose of mak
ing government purer and more honest.
Let them go ahead with atirm determina
tion to denounce the "sham" in everything.
lat them move on the earthworks of in
trenohed corruption wherever they tind it.
la-t them start an avalanche of liullots
that will bury out of sight every jtoliiiciau
who does not believe that public office is n
public trust.
Let them make it thunder all round the
horizon against the invasions of the people's
rights by which mouo|Kty tills its pockets
from the earnings of the masses.
A cyclone of that kind, sweepiug across
the continent and tearing existing evils up
by the roots, is something to be welcomed,
not feared.
If it is started by the workingmcn rather
than by the statesmen of the laud, all tin
better.
It will show*, what the J/eruM has always
assorted, that lsrth the heart and the brain
of the wage earner are in the right place.
Now then, gentlemen, what do you pro
pose to do and how do you projmso to do it'.'
You belong to the Democratic {tarty pure
and simple, and minus any "sham." That
party is the party of the masses : then-fore
it is your {tarty. Yon will insist that your
rights as citizens and wage earners shall Im
jealously guarded by wise and vigorous
legislation ? Good. You will require the
leaders of that party to remove all unneoees
sary taxes and burdens, to g-t rid of a cor
rupting surplus in the treasury, to put an
immediate stop to the waste of the people's
money, and to give the {smr man every jsts.
si hie benefit of the situation ? Good. You
an- right.
Under a Republican regime monopoly
was rampant. See for yourselves how it
has grown during the last twenty years.
Gn-at corporations have received great
privileges, by which a few have become
immensely rich at the expense of the people.
That kind of Republicanism was a sham
and a humbug.
You expressed an opinion on the subject
in 18S4, when you said, "We have had
enough of you—stop down." Under the
same regime your laud has IMM-U stolen by
the million acre*—you see we are calling a
spade a spade—and the farms —your farms
which your children or your children's chil
dren will want by and hv, have IH-CU taken
from yon by hocus {KX-US mixed with perju
ry waist deep.
You want to check monojxily and reclaim
this stolen land ? It can he done, and you
can help to do it. When Mr. Cleveland
went to the White House, at your bidding,
he was pledged to rip open these plots fur
aggrandizement. He has been opposed by
interested parties, ly powerful cattle syndi
cates, by railroad corporations with millions
at command, ami shrewd lobbyists in the
Capitol to "influence" legislation. But he
is a good fighter. Your party, the party of
the democracy, must stand by him. During
the last two years an area of territory more
than twice the extent of Ireland has Is-cn
reclaimed, and the land grahlx-rs have Iwen
told, "You can't have it. Kmpty your
pockets of stolen property."

WASHINOTOX, May 13.-Represent
ative Randall yesterday visited the
shipyard of the Arrow Steamship Com
pany at Alexandria, Va. His interest
in the industrial development of the
Old Dominion stimulated his desire, to
make a visit tiip to the ancie.it me
tropolis of the Potomac. The voyage
down the Potomac was taken in the
swift tug Sprav, the president of the
company, T. O'Meaia, Resident Di
rector J. A. Connelly and Mr. Marsh
being in the party. The trip was
made quietly and occupied four hours.
Mr. limdall took a deep interest in an
explanation of the model of the propos
ed steamship Arrow, which is to be
550 feet long, forty feet beam and fort
y-seven feet bold, and designed to cross
the Atlantic from New York to
in six days.
Mr. Randall, speaking of the won
derful res >uic sof Virginia, said;
"No one can study the economic his
tory since the foundation of the gov
ernment without gathering an import
ant lesson from Virginia. With a ter
ritory possessed of unenualed agricul
tural and mineral wealth witli miner
al and vegetable fuels and water in a
bundance, with unrivaled facilities for
transportation, she has fallen from the
front rank.in population when the con
stitution was formed to fourteenth in
the list of States She has been out
stripped by New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio,lllinois, Missouri, Indiana, M i
achuselts. Kentucky. Michigan, I <wa,
Texas, Tennessee and Georgia. Or it
West Virginia were part of her bor
ders she would still be sixth in the list
In industrial development the relation
is equally favorable. Of course Penn
sylvania is bound to take the fi'St rank
in the ra e with New Yntk, but there
is no reason why Viiie<nia should i.ot
stand by the side of New York and
Pennsylvania. She has the resources.
"I well understand that the econo
mic conditions forced upon the South
by slavery heavily handicapped Virgin
ia 4 but we are now speaking of the new
South aud see such states as .Missouri,
Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Texas forging ahead. In
my conversations with Virgingians 1
see them realizing their interests econ
omically considered, and it is remaik
able to me that Democrats up in public
affairs will persist in pushing pro-Brit
isb economic doctrines to the front
when almost every state south of the
Potomac and the Ohio is fast drifting
the other way. It would be far wiser
to accept the situation and take ad van
tage of the revolution in public renti
raent. It would be about as easy to
stem the current of the ocean Gulf
Stream as to try to stay popular con
victions founded in local and individu
al interests."
The ex-speaker added ; I want to
help the South in the very direction in
wbicn she wishes to help herself. If
her own leaders, I mean many of them
don't see the crisis ahead and meelit by
turning in with the current and keep
ing it in the line of friendship, there
will be a suddenness and overwhelra
ingness of reckoning such as bas never
been seen here or elsewhere."

The Supreme Hcnch Vaenney.
WASHINGTON, J/ay 10.—There Is
considerable speculation us to who is to
succeed Justice Words ou the supreme
court bench. It is generally supposed
that it. will be a southern man, since
Justice Woods' death]{took from the
bench the only southern man; but men
from various sections of the country
are spoken of as a possibility. Besid
es J/essts. Garland and Giulicott, the
names of A/ess rs. Lai mar and Bayard
are uieulioned. Senatois George and
Gibson and ex-Represantative Ham
mond are suggested. General Pettis, of
Alabama will probably be pressed for
the placeby the delegation of ihai state.

WASHINGTON. J/ay loth, ls>7.
The country youth or maiden who
reads of the happy lot of the govern
ment cletkheie, with his salary of fiotu
SI2OO to SISOO per year, with his abun
dant leisure, and with the great advan
tages, social, liteiary. and spectacular,
which life at the Capital affords, is till
ed witli longing. If the country youth
and maiden aie not angels, they may
even be tilled with envy. The enchant
ment which distance lends to alleged
happy lots is often provocative of envy.
Perliaps the only happy lot is the little
one of six by three bet upon which
daisies cluster, but in which iheie is
enchantment only for those who have
seen iridescent bubbles of life burst at
the touch, including even the bubble of
a government position. But this is a
digression from the strait and narrow
path of a Washington correspondent.
Your corre pondent wishes to ex
plain that lie was not discharged, lie
resigned and retired into Use business
of journalism, and I look on my experi
ence as a Government clerk without
euvy or longing. But to the average
ex-clerk t tie retrospect is much less
enviable now, than it was in 1573
Perhaps the greatest ill and the teiror
of vouth is the school examination.
Oh ! dost thou remember ? Think
of a life of protracted school examina
tions ! Such is to be futuie life of the
Government clerk ! He may no l inger
dnve his pen in peace, or furtively read
his newspaper. President Cleveland
has decreed that he shall stand an ex
amination for promotion, wether he
wants promotion or not, and that if
he fails to reach an average of 75 per
cent, lie must step down and out.
Saints, sinners and the Beecher family!
but this is hard on the gilded and k;l
--somined youth and maiden whom
Giant, Hayes, Gai field, Arthui,
Blaine, J/ihone, Conkliugand all those
illustrious spoilers pension-d upon the
Treasury it the riotous days of rec in
struction and carpet bags.
The very idea of a cimpelitive ex
animation is quite parahzing. for they
know little spelling, and less arithme
tic. Geography, mahogany, physics
and hysterics aie all the same to them.
There lias been an increased demand
for school books in Washington dur
ing the past week, and the Capital of
the United States is likely to tie the
piradise of pedagogues. Already they
have advertised to prepire applicants
for civil strvice examination. But the
fact remains that an education cannot
be improvised, and the middle aged
lb-publican clerks who have impaired
their minds as well as their heaits in
straining to keep alive the memories
and the policy of the war, have no vi
tality for the study of text books.

I. Tin* seasons of the year Irive again
run their course, and we are hastening on
to another Memorial Day. As in the past,
so let us now prepare to perforin with bol
der and loving hearts the sacred duties of
the day, that the memory of our dead com
rades may is- held in ever increasing honor,
that the cause to which, in the hour of a
nation's peril, we devoted our lives on the
land and on the sea, may grow in glory and
renown, and that posterity may until the
lad art if it lat ion of time comprehend the
cost at wliieli American liberty was pre
served, and resolve that it shall lie main
tained as long as the world endures.
The time will soon come when all person
al grief growing out of the death of those
who foilglit in the civil war to in detain the
N itional Union shall cease, hut the time
will never come as long as humanity re
tinitis faithful to its destiny when the
achievements of tlic Union army will lie
forgotten. Its deeds of glory will increase
in lustre, and its sacrifices, its valor and its
heroism will more and more command the
reverent admiration of a grateful people as
the ages roll on to eternity. Memorial Day
must, therefore, become less a day for sor
rowing than a day for sacred and profound
rejoicing that Liberty is a priceless jKisses
sion, and that in every time of need those
who en joy it will sacrifice all, suffer all and
dare all to maintain and preserve it.
Let us, therefore, on the coining 30th day
of May observe it not as a day of sorrow,hut
as a joyous festival of patriotism. Let lis
strew with (lowers the graves of our dead
comrades, not as a memorial of their death
hut in thanksgiving to God for the example
of their heroic lives, and as an inspiration
to coming generations to emulate their sub
lime devotion to their country's cause, to
the Flag, and to the highest interests of hu
manity.
11. It is recommended that in accordance
with established custom, Posts repair to
some place of Divine worship on the Sun
day next proceeding Memorial Day,to unite
in solemn praise aud thanksgiving to God.
