SPECIAL LABOR CONVENTION General Master Workman Powderly the official head of the Knights of Labor, has Untied a call for a special State Convention of represeiiatives from the various assemb lies of Pennsylvania, to meet at llarrisburg on the 7th instant. The call suggests that one delegate be sent to represent every two thousand members In his official call, and also In the Jour nal of fiiffcti iaior of Philadelphia, the accredited organ of the order, Mr. Powder ly gives his reasons for tho call so clearly as to fully justify his action. Ho refers to the fact tlut there are scores of bills pend Ing In the Legislature relating to the Inter ests of labor, some of which are chiefly vicious In their features, whlln others with wise alms need more careful and authorita tive revision than ho can assume to give on Ms official responsibility. lie refers to the fact that signatures to petitions are often obtained in favor of measiucs which tin considerate jiHgtnent of the wurklngmon would condemn, and legislators are thus compelled to choose between suppoiliiig bills which would be injuries to tlut whol State or offending their constituents. II believes that the beet way to meet the difficulty and to assure juJleious and prac tical legislation In behalf of Industry, is t call the representative men of the order to gcther at the Capitol, ami there confer, by committee, with all in the Legislature wh favor liberal enactments on the subject and carefully scrutinize the arIons pemlin measures and glto an oillclal approval o such as may be aoproed after the most patient Inquiry. He wisely suggests that 'It would be far better to select .i few of the most Important measures, sav, for iu tance, cuch ns relate to the store ordc system and the mining or mine ventilation laws of the stale.'' We are glad- to see tills call from M Powderly. lie s'ales the exact truth w he he suggests that there Is danger alike of tho failnre of good and the success of bad legislation, unless the intelligent and dis passionate, representatives of labor shall accept the responsibility of directly confe Ing with legislator on the subject. All uch experiences must be productive great praellc.il good to the order. It will bring them into relations with those who tavo broader responsibilities than pertain to any one Interest of the fitale, and the xperbni'e pil ucd will tend to conserve and broaden the vlrnx and aims of thn Knight of Labr. The delegates to appear at Har- rlsburz will be received and consulted with the respect to which the great interest tl represent Is entitled, and It is highly in Ing the fact that the unfaithful messenger might have been -stapling tho quality of his six dollar Old Crow, so ho went to the merchant and made his complaint, and wlratdo-you think he replied? "Oh. slr.tho cork being loose In your dsmljohn signifies nothing; there Isn't a man hi nty employ who touches a drop of whiskey. I don't drink myself, and I won't have a man about my store who does." What do you think' Of that? If dynamite bomb had ex pluded -under mc'I coiiltt not -havo been inore astonlshed. and the mar.'who bought the whiskey looked as if he had been hit over the head with a sandbag. For (he last week I have-been trying to figure out whether to cdll tlils high moral courage or monumental check. But to return to Ihe young oeOTi.ejian who desired to become a barkeeper. If he wishes to distinguish himself In hh 'profession, he will not have to gropo his way In the dark, for I observed a glaring slgmon the Bowery "Instruction jlvcn iu the scientific compounding of uilxetl drinks'; codktttils, smashers and juleps, prepared In the most scientific man ncr, and according to the latest and most approved formulas." This looks like busi ness: here Is a benefactor of his race a professor who cau give you the exact quan tity of sugar, Angustora, lemon, auslnllie, Vermouth and quassi and other Ingredi cuts, which will ruin you dicestion and end you to a lunatic asylum or to the I If this young gentleman wishes to rise rap- Idly in his chosen profession, by all means Ict 'hlUi apply to this Bowery .professor. There is no question that ("he saloons are getting to bo the most delightful places of recreation in the city. A few years ago. ml a man could start the whiskey business with a few barrels and kegs, a couple of dozen glasses, a looking-glass behind tho ounter and a few cheap ornaments, but that day Is past. To-day we have plenty f saloons the Interior trimmings and furn ishings of which are wortli from fifty to a liundrd thousand dollars. Ned Stokes' barroom at tho Hoffman, used to be the onder and delight of yisltlng countrymen and some countrywomen; but there are plenty of others tilled with magnificent pic ture' and costly bric-a-brac, which tell of the marvellous crollts of the ivhlskey busi ness. The lower class saloons are Initiat ing the style of their more opulent and high-toned neighbors big lunches and easy chairs being provided for the guests. If the temperance people only made half the ffort to catch customers that the saloons lo, we might see a greater temperance liar est. Several attempts have been made here at starting temperance rcstautints, temperance coffee houses, dairies and other stabllsliinents, all under temperance sup ervision; but I have never seen one where there was the slightest effort to make them comfortable or attractive. Some I have seen that wcro scrupulously clean but there was nothitig homelike or comfortable about t'icin-thcy had a cold,cheoilcss,for bidding sort of an air, and the lady who sat beside the small table near the door, dropped her book or her sewing just long enough to give you change, and as she sunk back in her chair when tnat duty was per formed, she seemed to say In no uncertain tones "Don't you look at ine, or I'll call a policeman." Then the coffee and tea might be indicted for libel; while the steak and the chops furnished ample ground for suit-at-law foi obtaining money under false pretenses. While on the subject of restaurants, there is a remarkable one on Broadway, known ks The Gentlemen's Buffet, and the lucky pioprletor Is rapidly rolling up a fortune. On either side, beautiful black walnut buffets, and these at the opening of lunch are piled high with all sotts of tcmptim: edibles. Sandwiches are there, by tin thousand, of all kinds. Smoking hot corned beef hash, no swindle, but good very good; all sorts of cakes. Milk, cof feoand tea; and milk, means milk; and tea, means lea; and coffee, means coffee. Sandwiches, coffee, tea and milk only llvo cents, and a stout plate of pork and beans or hash only ten cents. You would bo surprised lo see the men who lunch there. Kich meichants, bank clerks, brokers from Wall Street, and speculators on 'change, messenger boys, doctors and lawyers, all weiebusy as bcs. The singular feature of the place is that you go In, help yourself to what you want, call for anything within your reach, and then it is lei t entirely to your honor to say how much you one as you go out. Nobody wntrhes you or lakes any nccouut of what you cat except jour- self. On guli'3 out you step up to a young man near the door, and say live tongue sandwiches, three pig's feet, a plate of corned beef hash, four cream cal.es, three cups of coffee and a plate of stewed tiipe upon which, the young gentleman hands you n check.whlch you pass over with your cash to a very pretty young lady ..nd the thing is done. Unless a mat) is very hun gry, twenty-five cents will give him a Out class lunch. A benevolent lady of this city, however, eoneelu'd the Idea, that there were thou, sands here who could not spare a quarter fur a meal, and for those whom fortune or misfortune has knocked out, she has pro vided llftfcn places in different paits of the city, where the hungry tramp cau get a meal for ono cent. Yes, sir; a big bowl of tonp and a chunk of bread, of good chari table proportions for one cent; in fact it he will doubtless find that ho has not much religion tosparehy the tlntehc-getMhrough with them. If we are to judge lit future work on the. pagan-Iiomanlsts by his past success in the Protestant church, tha har vest will not bo great.

The Harrlsbnrg Board of Trade'Is ltdmlcal to the measure, as they argue rightly that it Is only putting good Inoney after bad. Fulton's ten years work In 'Brooklyn has and will retard any new Capitol project not been satisfactory; he has contrived to keep In exceedingly warm water all that time, and on one occasion even Ids brother ministers, whose motto Is "Lovo one an other," found It impossible to stand him, and gave him the grand bounce.

The announcement that Mastei Work man Powdeily will bo here on April to look after the interests of the workingmen is likely to add some piquancy to tho erratic course of legislation in the alleged Interest of the laboring classes. All sorts of labor bills are now pending, and once in a while ono of them conies up, when half of the members got on their feet to tell how much they love tho worklnsman. Each of score will declare that It Is his special care to see that the laboring man gets what he wants. When, however, the details of the bills am discussed, It is found that each of the friends of labor has Ids peculiar Idea, and they all clash and jar each other so violently that the House gets Into a wrangle and tangle, and is finally glad to drop the subject without mnking any progress Some of the members who claim to repre sent labor organization are opposed lo Mr. Powderly's move, and declare that they will not listen to his delegates, nor to him, cither. Mr. Itobertson, of, Pittsburg, will probaoly backup whatever the Knights ask for if it should not clash wllh what Christo pher Magee asks for, Mr. Itobertson divides the, leadership of the Interests of tho Knights on the floor of tne House with Mr. Holhcrsall, of Philadelphia, liobert son, who Is familiarly known as "Andy,' has the best pair of lungs in tho House, and w hen he talks he can lie heard over In the Senate chamber. His language Is not Addisonian, to say the least. The other night Speaker Boyer called him to the chair, and the House promptly proceeded to have fun witli 111 in. He was mixed up Willi all sorts of complex motions, and tlia House soon became a bedlam. "The members will pleaso clean the aisles," called out the distracted speaker. "Better send for the scrub-women to do that," said a voice, and thcro was a great laugh at the Speaker pro tern's cxpcn$ftl Pluallyj .v,!eu, he eould stand the racket no loiger,' he adjourned the House without waiting for any ono to make a motion for that purpose. As was anticipated, llio ttcnaio has re stored the clause exempting manufacturing corporations and limited partnerships to the Shapley Itevenue bill. The country members iu the llouso who knocked this section out are still determined to stand by that action, and declare that they will not vote for1 the bill with this amepdmcnt. It was upon this section that the much talked of country combine was mado which was expected to do so much for tho legislation for tho country, hut which has not as yet amounted to very much. It Is possible that the Revenue bill may fall, after all, oyer this dispute, which coiisiderlns that their is a Commission to revise all the Stale recnue laws provided for, which will consider Ihe subject thoroughly and report to the next Legislature, will not be the greatest misfortune, In the world.
