POWDERLY TO THE KNIGHTS. WrdWe s* Y,araeat Argsnents Against Going on ltrIke,. General Master Workman Powderly, in the Journal of United Labor, issues a special call to the members of the Knights, asking several questions of importance and reiterating his forcible opinions regarding strikes, condemning them as harmful to the vital interests of the order and occasions to be indulged in only as a resort when all other means have failed. Regarding the seces sions from the Knightly ranks, Mr. Pow derly says: "It cannot De wondered at that when they discovered that the order could not support every scheme they had in view they dropped out, disheartened and dis gusted. T1 hey were not schooled in the principles of the order and blame the organ Ization, in their despair, for their present ills. Their departure did not weaken the order as much as their admission." NOT A succnss AT STRIKES. Continuing, Mr. Powderly says: "It has been said that the order of the Knights of Labor is not a succpss at managing strikes. 1 will admit that is true, and will prove from the record that the order was not founded to aid, encourage or engage in i-trlkes. An examination of the twenty-two sections of the preamble will fail to show wherein the word strike finds favorable mention. After considering the matter, your Master Workman asks of the assem blies to give an expression of their views to him, lie requires assistance and now goes direct to the highest tribunal of Knighthood -the order at large-to ask what he shall do. He does not ask the views of assemblies, districts, factions, but of the rank and file. From the 5th of September I have written, alkod against and opposed strikes. 1 be eve they were ruinous under the old sys n; they are doubly so today. Years ago when a strike took place on a railroad or in a manufactory it was carried on between the men and employer. Today when a strike takef place the mainufacturer may belong to a trust and may actually realize a "p'ofit, while those engaged in the strike are starving. Pools, combinations and trusts are the union of capital against which unions of labor are pittied. 'The one with millions at his back can and does lie idle until starvation does its work and compels the men to go back." FIGHTIN(i AOAINST COM1INATIONS. In a forcible paragraph on the conse quences of strikes he rsys: "What con hi nation of hungry men could light a battle against a combination of dollars? When a workman ceases to earn, his stontich feels it and unless charity is given he starves. Lay a gold dollar on a shelf and at the end of a decade it is as bright and usaful as ever; it has lost nothing from idleness; the dollar is supreme. We must control the dollar, curb the power of money al ill the trusts, or they will extort the LvtXt cent from labor and kill U yeople: A solemn duty rests witT Iour order for fulfillment. Let our ene mies say what they may, the Knights of Labor stands today anong laboring Inen the greatest combination for good in America. We must have legislation which will compel individuals and1( corporationts to transact business on a basis of real property, dollars and cents, instead of what the Worid calls paper credits, or fictitious values. I low can this be (lone? By whom will it he done? Not by strikes, by wasting our energies'on the line of abuse of each other. It cannot he (lone by men who have no highor concep tion of Knighthood and citizenship than to expose themselves and families to the pangs of hunger in a suicidal strike. Let the ons who have felt the pangs of hunger testify, and not those who, standing far from the field of conflict, say strikes do good. Unfor tunately for labor, men in position are prone to yield too easily to clamor. The vocal bully may succeed for a time in creating a sentiment, against the man who refuses to yield, but when men lindi their promises aire. not kept they have a greater- cause for anger than if they wer-e told wvhat to explet in the beginning. 8UF~ERlING FA M i11i:s. "'I never willl hold out a hope of assistanit e when 1 am not in posses-sioni or inoney to carry on a strike, whenm the men and wonmeun upon whom we mnut rely are as pootr ias - those engagedi In the trouble. 'Thi Genearal Master Workman hats received his sharie of censure for not enicour-aging certain1 strikes. I never did enlcouirage a strike and nievel wvill do so, nor will I ever vote t o ordier a strike until every known remnedy shtort of a sur-rendier of manhood oif the meinl engaigedt has been tried. 1 have wvaited two years for an op)portunity- to advise the ordier on tis question, but never- found the labior world freo from a strIke long enough to do0 so with out leaving myself open0 to the sulspiceion that 1 was opposing the interests ot stome one who was on stirike.

Caop ital hass dliscairdied its old iniethodls; lthor still clings to her."' Concluding, Mr. P1owderly advocates t lie establishment of an educational branch ot the ordler, andl in a lengthy- treatise calls1 it tentlon to Its mnanifold advantages. One cof the reporters of the Illouse of Representatives hats been exp'rimieniting for two days past withi A. (I.

In reporting the debates oif the hiouse twoi sets of stenographiers are used- t one on the floor and one in the mreporters' rtom downi stairs. One of thle ofit~ih reporters fol - lows a debate for- a croun len-igthI of timoe, when he is relievedi by anotheri reporter', who takes up the thread w liere het drioips it. The reporter who is relieved goes downi stairs andI rt'ads his notes to atnother sten. ograjpher. who tiakes all dewnn in short hand andh then copies it off. Th'ie reporter who takes the dtebate tdoes none of the work of transcribing. In usinig the graho phone, the reporter sits ini front of' the mna chine, which lie operates by ia treatdle as lhe would a scroll sawv or a sewiing imachiine. Into Its mouth lie reels off tihe debaite lie has just rep)ortedi much mor'e rapidtiy tihan he could deliver It to another stenographer. When he hits read off all his notes5, lhe re turns to the floor to continue his work. An assistant then sits down at the minite, removes the receiver and attaches a .ranis. mitter with two ear pieces which lie straps to his head. The cyliinder Is returnled to the startIng point, and the assistant, work ing the machine with his foot, grinids (lit the debate, which, as lie listens, lhe pults on paper. It is expectedh that the instrumet will be so developedl in the near future that It can be used on the floor of the House fo,r making original reports of long speeches. -- Cor. N. Y. World. KNOXVILLE, iENN., July 2, 1887. I have had catarrh of the head for six years. I went to a noted doctor and ho treated me for it, but could not cure me, he said. I was over fifty years old and I gave up to die. I had a distreasing congh; my eyes were swollen and I am - confident I could not have lived without a change. I sent and got one bottle of your B. B. B., used it, and feit better. Then I got four more, and thank God I it cured me. Use this any way you may wish for the good of sufferers. Mxts. MATILnA Nmcoots. 27 Florida Street.

The Predent Advise. the ExclusNon of the Freneh and German Article. 'WASIINOTON, March 27.-The Presi. dent has sent to Con ress a special message recommending legislation to exclude French and German hogs and hog pro ducts in consequence of reports by Minister Pendleton and Consul Mason of the preva lence of contagious diseases among hogs in those countries. The message is as fol lows: 'To the Senate and House of Representa tives: "I transmit herewith a report from lion. George II. Pendieton, our Minister to Ger many, dated January 30, 1888, from which it appears that trichinosis prevailr to a con siderable extent in certain parts of Ger many, and that a number of persons have already died froma the effects of eating the meat of diseased hogs which were grown in that country. I also transmit a report from our Consul at Marseilles, dated Feb ruary 4, 1888, representing that for a num ber of months a highly contagious and fatal disease has prevailed among the swine of a large section of France, which disease is thought to be very similar to hog cholera by the Commissioner of Agriculture, whose statement is herewith submitted. It is extremely doubtful if the law passed April 29, 1878, entitled ''An Act to prevent the Intro(luction of Contagious or Infee tious Diseases into the United States" meets cases of this description. In view of the (langer to the health and lives of our peo pie and the contagion that imay be spread to the live stock t the country 1by the iui portation of swine or hog producis from either of the countries naied, 1 recoin imnd the passage of a law proiiiliting such importation, with proper regulations as to the contintiance of such prohibhition nod permitting such furl her prohibition in other future cases of a like character as safety an( prudence nmy reilre. "'Guovi"i (tIavi;,ANn." Accompanying the niessage are coimmu nications from Minister IPenllet, in inlos. ing translations of articles from lierlin newspapers, alleging that I91) persois have been attacke(d by tricihinosis, iand that there is no allegation that t he cause ciii he at. tributed otherwise than to t lie consumption of domtestic ptrk.

Many Viage. and Hamle in Germany Under Water. LONDON, March 27.--Dispatches from Berlin give appalling details of the floods in Germany. The Elbe, Nogat, Vistula and Oder rivers cover a hundred square miles. Forty villages and hamlets have disappeared, miles of railways are practi cally at the bottom of now lakes, 8,000 per sons are homeless and ruined in circum stances, much area can never be drained again, and even mklalner must find thousands of acres of farm land still sub merged along the Elbe. Regular Icebergs formed, dashing away bridges, dykes, em bunkments, even overleaping these and crushing houses as if egg-shells, and drowning cattle. Even persons were un able to escape the su(ldenness and velocity of the flood. I)ore's pictures of Noah and the deluge suggest actual scenes. Not only were rivers overflowed, but inciting snow from land elevations added new sup plies to the merging waters. An embankment on the Nogat River, near where empties the nouth of the Vis tula, a lino work of engineering, broke like thread, with the noise of a (ozen Krupp guns explo(ing. It is (loubtful if the city of Elbing escapes. The townts of Marienbulmrg and Jonasdorf are already par tially inundaed. Berlin newspapers arc wholly absorbed in contemplating the (e vastatlon.
