THE LEADER OF THE RMWHTS
A Hai Who Abhors Strikes and Looks

In a chat in New York on last Sun
day week about himself and his connec

Towderly said :

abolished in the initiation, and only the

whole matter of the wage system is

Thk Mexican soldiers' pension bill
passed the lower branch of Congress on
Monday last by a vote of 158 yeas, to C9
nays. The bill consists of only two sec
tions and is of the most sweeping char
acter. The first section directs the Sec
retary of the Interior to place the names
of all surviving officers, soldiers and
sailors who enlisted and served in the
war with Mexico for any period during
the years of 1P45, 146, 1R17 and 1?4,
and were honorably discharged, and
their surviving widows, on the pension
roll at the rate of IS per month, from
and after the passage of the act,
during their lives. The second section
directs the Secretary to make such
rules and regulations as may be neces
sary to carry the act Into effect, with a
proviso that the act shall not apply to
persona under political disabilities.

he had been married to tUvtn women,
and made out a list which shows that
his selections were made from six differ
ent States and Territories. He is
strengthetied in the hope that he may
be convicted as s horse thief, and that
be will not be tried for bigamy. He
began the marrying business in 18C3 at
Staunton, Va., Mary J. Hunter being
bis first victim, and from 1374 to Jaly,
1885, has averaged one wife per annum,
except that in 183 he was married
twice in Arkansas. His last dupe was
Josephine M. Eals, of Texas, in July,
1SS5. If be hadn't been arrested as a
hone thief and could have kept straight
on in the marrying line, as he no doubt
would have done, he would have bagged

As long as Congress refuses to sub

tional amendment empowering the
President to veto objectional clauses in
an appropriation bill while be approves
of others, the country will annually be
saddled with a corrupt and log-rolling
River and Harbor bill which literally
robs the treasury of many hundred
thousand dollars for the mere purpose
of enabling Congressmen to make them
selves popular with their constiuents.
There are improvements of rivers and
harbors which are of vast national im
portance and require the passage of an
annual appropriation for that purpose.
If the bill stopped at that there would
be no wrongful appropriation and no
complaint. The bill, however, never
stops there, but is always honey-combed
with large gifta of money for the most
useless and indefensible purposes, thus
compelling the President to approve it

PowJerly, by Gould's railroad manager
at St. Louis, Mr. Hoxie, who refused
to either arbitrate or to take back into
his employ more than about one-thiid
of the striking Knights of Labor, their
demand being that he must reinstate
all. The situation was rendered still I
more complicated on Saturday morning
by a few of the strikers in ambush fir
ing on a freight train strongly guarded
two miles from Fort Worth, Texas,
killing one oi two of the guard and se
riously wounding several others. The
Governor of Texas has sent a strong
military force to Fort Worth and the
running of the trains at that point has
not since been interfered with. The
trains, however, are not manned by the
Knights of Labor as they were before
the strike, but by other employes who
have taken their places. The Knights
have issued a bitter manifesto against
Gould's duplicity in agreeing, as they
allege, with Powderly to arbitrate the
dispute and then through Manager
Tloxie refusing to do so. Everything
was quiet along the different roads on
Tnesday, and traffic was unimpeded,
but the Knights of Labor have been left
out in the cold, and their last Saturday's
armed attack on the train near Ft.
Worth has seriouely damaged their
cause. Mr. Powderly himself has never
approved of the strike from the begin
ning, but has pronounced it as impoli
tic, unnecessary, and without any jus
tification. The presumption is very
strong that the strike could have been
adjusted right after it took place, if
wisdom and prudence had governed the
leaders of the Knights of Labor organi
zation who were on the ground and un
dertook to manage their side of the dispute.

and, perceiving the boy was hurt, instantly
wheeled about and went for that aid which
he could not render himself. There was no

must have perished there or have dragged
his broken limb alone and destroyed it, so
as to lender amputation necessary, if the
dog had not brought help. The dog went
oft to the nearest house and barked for help.
Not receiving attention, he made another

great obstacle was, as I have said, the
contempt with which the machinists

workers. At last my efforts were suc
cessful, and the union was disbanded
and the members t ecame Assembly No.
222 of the Knights of Labor. During
this time I had worked among the sur
rounding towns, so that when the Car
bondale Union joined the Knights there
were several assemblies in tha neighbor
hood. I had thus worked to win them
to the Knights of Labor, because I saw
that in the union all of their legislation
about apprentices and shop rules would
amount to nothing.
"With the introduction of labor sav
ing machinery the trade was all cut up,

I labor-saving machinery was bringing
the machinist down to the level of a

a level. My aim was to dignify the la
borer. In the K. of L. I saw a good
field for operation. In 187G we organ
ized a District Assembly of five or six
assemblies in Lackawanna county, and
I was elected District Secretary, an of
fice which 1 have held ever since from
choice. In 1877. when the strikes on
the railroads swept over the country,
many of our men, with many who were
not of the K. of L., numbering in all
about 5,000, were discharged and went
West, settling in th Western States

four nmntha after th mtin,, rb was called Grand Worthy Foreman
Committee on next Monday, and a3 one
of the most important duties of the re
turn judges of the primary election will
be the selection of four delegates from
this county to the State Convention, it
seems to us that sound party policy and
the convenience of the voters will be
best promoted by fixing the date of the
primaries not earlier than the middle or
latter part of July. They have been
usually held sometime in June, which is
at least a month earlier than they ought
to have been held, foi reasons that will
readily suggest themselves to every one
who resides in the country and has farm
work to do. Besides this, it is not good
party tactics to put a County ticket in
the field jive months before the Novem
ber election, foi the reason that it might
enable the opposition to form combina
tions which it would be unable to do
under different circumstances. A cam
paign of three months, or thereabouts,
between the primary election and the
2d of November, is surely long enough
to enable every man on the ticket to get
out of his candidacy all that Is in it.
Let the campaign be short and sharp.
These are our views briefly stated in re
gard to the matter, and are suggested
to the County Committee for what they
are worth.
Mr. Manning, Secretary of the
Treasury, is recovering from his recent
alarming illness, and it is believed at
Washington that he will soon tender
his resignation to the President.
j We there changed the date of meetng
irom January to .-eptemoer. We Dext
met in St. Louis. Mr. Stephens did
not attend this convention, but wrote a
letter recommending me for General
Master Workman. After that I gave
my entire time and attention to the
work of my office, this being the first
time that I had worked at any business
otner man my trade.
"The strikes of 1877 were caused by
men not understanding one another. At
that time I began to study the causes of
that strike and of the distress of the
workmen. I concluded that an organ
ization should be perfected that would
be a grand industrial school. I bad no
hobby. Others were for greenbacks,
tariff revision, and a dozen other things.'
I had not read the writings of any the
orist. I had never met a theorist. I
was re-elected Mayor two or three
times. When first elected I was not
known outside of the laboring classes.
It was said by my opponent timt all
sorts of trouble would come if I w&a
elected. However, I was elected, and
among other acts I discharged the en
tire police force of the city because I
found that I must have men en whom I
could rely. Then, during my adminis
station the debt of the city was reduced
about 120,000. Previously the debt had
been annually increased. Iu 18S4 the
Knights of Labor had grown so large
that the business of the order took all
of my time, and I had to decline renom
ination for Mayor. We now have assem
blies in England and Belgium.
"I have read Henry George's 'Pro
gress and Poverty,' Spencer's 'Social
Statics,' and Thornton on labor. I am
not sure what my plans will be for the
future. A syndicate of newspapers has
offered to send me to Europe to write
up the labor question as it is there. I
do not believe in strikes, because I do
