"Z discussing the subject of skilled wotk
men tlic lloslon lltillclln has the fnllottliiE
to say, which must he conceded piedllve
fads:
"A skilled workman Is always av.lncd
the best jobs because a foreman lu innll
dence In him, thathn will come up to time,
a matter of no small Impoit.ince In a loco
motive establishment. Such a man, In a
very shoit time, find himself an obji ct of
dislike, If not positive hatted. Ills em
ployer dates not pay him wages neon ding
to his merit, for this would bilug about a
strike, andhisshopmalcs Bay lliat lie woiks
tociiny favor and does ni.ne than lie Is
paid tor. Thus, the best mi'ch.inli' in a
shop, If he wishes to have peace with his fel
low woikiuen, must sink himself down to
the general level . The best man in a shop
Is generally the most disliked, cten If he
should keep down In speed, became he Is
sure to have the best job. Theie is (list
as much fiiction among woikmen them
selves, as there Is between them as a whole
and their employcis. These facts tin- well
known; every man Is a spy upon his iieluli
bor, to If the labor question weie settled
between employer and employed, It will
never be settled among woikiuen them
selves. Master mechanics see this, and
like their men make little or no pioWsiim
to meet the probable eventualities of the
fuluie. They work and live by the day
and hence do not eaie lo take apprentices.
The lesnlt of such a system, a want of sys
tem, Is seen In t he caiclcss way some houses
are built; befoie their shells are completed
they tumble down; eten the scatToldlng of
some Is so pool ly put together, that the
very men who put it up come down with It
and either lose their lives or hae their
limbs broken. In the whole lalior uiniket
business Is unsettled in comeipiencc of dis
continuing I lie old appietilieeslilp system.
The Ignorant and Insolent aie in a majoil
ty; and If they can do nothing else they can
fight and create a dlstuib.ince."
Tim Carbon county Knights of Labor
will soon issue a call for a convention and
put in nomination a county ticket. They
will act Independently of all other panic,
a certain Knight of Labor Infoims us, and
not ask for tbe endoiseuientof ccilaln can
didates as was the custom heietofoie. The
Knights of Labor organization in lids coun
ty Is stronger numerically than cither of the
two old parties, consequently It I only
a matter of "faith" as to tbo election ol
their candidates when once nominated, for
certainly no fair minded Individual would
be free to prophecy defeat for the Knights
of Labor If they go into the campaign null
ed and determined tn elect their ticket.

ticket nominated; If a innnnpollza-
me oniccs isaiicmpieii uy uie iieui-
fpieio siaugmcr oi me nominees
must bn expected, Knights of Labor In
this borough can recall, If their memoiy Is
not too limited, the fate of a ticket iinmln
ated In this boiongh last spring. The lick'
el was to have been a Knight of Labor lick
et, but by some peculiar dispensation of
political providence, the ltepiiblicans man
aged very cleverly to secure nominations
for three-fourths of Hie ntllces lo be, voted
for. The result Is well remembered, the
entire ticket was defeated with Hie excep
tion of one man, we believe, and he man
aged to slip in by a very small majority.
Of course no such error will bo commuted
When the Knights of Labor of tbe whole
county assemble In convention, at least we
think not, as tbe eyes of all voters will be
on the party and tbe final result will be
watched with much Interest by all nlltleal
observers. Act kqiiaiely and fairly, and to
the best lnleiest of all the people, that Is
what should be the guiding star of the
Knights of Lalur.

"?Xe I'resldent of the United Slates,
present In psrson anywhere, Is one thing.
A picture of Groyei Cleveland thrust in
wheie It does not belong Is another thing.
To confound the two Is bad for tint 1'resl
dent! If theirand Army on any proper
occasion should refuse to march before the
Prtsldeulfthat would be disrespect for the
aifle.Jtff If the (Jraud Army, ou Its own re
union, under Its own direction, refuses to
march under a picture of (irover Cleveland
thrown out for an obylous purpose, that Is
an objection to the man. We have not yet
reached the point in this country where re-

Tub ChaVmin (Canada) I'lnncl, a journ
al of some prominence In Its own paitlcular
locality squeaks thusly at tho riimsrcd pro
posed annexation with America, having In
vlew,perhaps,tho fishery question on which
Secretary Ilnyanl took such determined action:
"Patriotism makes a nation. Irat
Canada requires I simply a pride In her
splendid domain. The alleged benclilsof
annexation are a snare and a delusion. If
we hayo political discontent It I' the fault
of our teachers and people, not of the coun
try or lis constitution. War ha Its evils;
but like fire, It would burn out Iho malaria
of discontent and disloyalty which Is now-
fast bleeding In our politics. It would
make Canadians common In feeling, and
nulla them III sympathy. Theiefoie we
sav, rather than be beguiled Into the fatal
mistake of sinking our nationality and Can
adian sentiment In the fortunes of the
Amoilean Hepubllc Canada might better
defend them with the sword."
"O.nk proud fact attests the substance
of our piosperlty: We day In lalmr the
highest wage In the world. Highly paid
labor signifies the most efficient labor
signifies that high wage aie the most
profitable wage signifies that the high
rate Is eaincd. The hlghtst wages to the
laboier thus Involte and Imply lowest per-
milage of labor cost In the product. Hut,
other thing being equal, the lowest per
centage of labor rnsl In any product Is the
guarantee that competition 1 outstripped."

Now let the rapidly accumulating sur
plus be i educed by a fair tevlslon of the
tariff and we will be able to pay tn labor a
still higher rate of wage. Iteilnce the
taxes!
Tin: Demoeratle nominating com entlou

It Is in the potter of the delegates elected
to-day (S.ilillihiy) to put In nomination a

have the suppoit of the whole Democratic

An Important .Matter. It should not be
forgotten that Thuisday, September 8th, Is
'.he last day for the leglsltalion of votets.
Kteiy pctson who Intends to vote should
see that hi name Is on the icglstiy llst.and
the best way to attend to the matter I tn
no it personally. Young members of (be

She was a daisy and her name is Uroad
hurst and she lies in tho city of llrooklyu,
or did before she folded her tent, and like
the Arabs stole silently away.
Those who mourn the limited nppoi trini
ties afforded to our weaker sisters should
ponder on the history of this Iliooklvn fairy
and they may gain much pleasure and
profit theieby. While not exactly as beau
tiful as Venus she had a moderate shaie nf
good looks, though her great financial suc
cesses were not due bo much to her good
looks a her winning ways.
Many women have been financially mined
In Wall street; nut so with Mis. llioad
hurst; she didn't go a cent on t locks but
she was weighty on horse races. The race
course had a fascination for her that she
could not withstand, and day after day
when hfr affectionate husband thought she
was mending hU pants, darning his stock
ings and Ironing his sblits.she might be
seen on the fiont seat of the Grand Stand
at Sheepshead Hay and Ilrlgblon lieach go
ing her bottom dollar ou the rlyeis.
Betting ou horse races costs money, es
pecially when the bets go against you, and
the means that this talented lady took to
raise the wind places her In the very front
rank of tbe financiers of the present age,
and we commend the consideration of her
methods to the author of "Progress and
Poverty," for It Is ceitalnly a new revela

A lively sensation was caused by tho
f nest of lawyer Dunn, who was said to be
the tecelvcr of the stolen hoodie taken fiom

who would have been shocked at the Idea
of putting up two and a half on a pool,
stole ten thousand dollars and put it upon a
maigliioua widow. For two years lie
covered up his tracks, suffering nil thotlnio
the toituie of the damned, and In the
height of his supi cine agony and despair he
says be fell In with Lawyer Dunn. Lawyer
Dunn he says heaid bis slory and finding
his defalcation lo be ten thousand dollais
advised him to steal a million. This Mr.
Scott ngieed lo do, and did actually take It
out or the vaults of the bank when his

A queer case has just come hefore the
Courts touching the estate of Sarah A.
liobblns, who Inherited on th-i death of
her father $.",00,(100. Though the possestoi
of an ample fortune and by no means mi
comely, Elie leached the age of twenty
seven without securing that Inestimable
prize a husband. At last she full hi with a
massage doctor named Johnson, and at
thoug there was a standing inoi tgage on Dr.
Johnson of several lears,, she ran avfay
wllh the Doctor to Kuroiu; to the great
scandal of her family, and tn the gieat
grief of the orlgual Mrs. Johnson, lint
while Mrs. Johnnon wept salty tears she
did not propose to slop there, but swore
(figuratively of couue) that If ever she laid
hands ou Saiah Itnhblus she d warm her
and make her wish that a millstone were
tied about her neck and that she drowned
In the sea. Sarah wanted to comeback to
"K I'lurlbm I'num," and she could not
glye up her .Inhiikon. So there was only
one thing to do and that was lo pay for
him, so she planked down $100,000, good,
hard, American dollars, and took tho ro-
celpt for Johnson In full. Miss Itobklns Is
out a clebii fifty thousand dollars, for I
know an excellent mall wairanted sound
physically and morally who can be got for
fifty thousand. My modesty forbids uie to
give hit name, but the offer is open for (he
uextslx weeks, for further partlculais apply
at this otllce. Just think of It, ladles, only
fifty thousand, a mere bag of nails, for
such a prize don't all speak at once.
