"I KOW I AM RIGHT."
General Master Workman Powderly's Lecture
on Temperance.
General Master Workman Powderly. in
the Philadelphia Journal of United Labor
publishes a temperance lecture addressed
to the members of the Knhtlits of Labors.
It is entitled "The Justice of My Position."
and is a reply to unfavorable criticism made
by certain of his correspoudents on lectures
delivered by him recently in loston and
Lynn, Mass. Mr. Powderily says:
"I know I am right. I know tiat in re
fusing to even touch a drop of strong drink
I was and am right. In refusing to trcat
another to that which I do not believe to be
good for myself to drink I know that I am
right. In not allowing a rumseller to gain
admittance into the order of the Klnights
of Labor I know that I an ri-ht. In ad
vising our assemblies not to rent halls or
meeting rooms over driuking places I know
that I am right. I have done this from the
day my voice was Iirst heard in the council
halls of our order. My position on the
question of temperance is right. I am de
termined to maintain it, and will not alter
it one jot or tittle. I know that in the or
ganization of which 1 an the head there
are many good wen who drink. but they
would be better men if they did not drink.
Ten years ago I was hissed because I ad
vised men to let strong drink alone. They
threatened to rotten egg me. I have con
tinued to advise men to be temperate, and,
though I have had no experience that would
qualify me to render an opinion of the
efficacy of a rotten egg as an ally of the
rum drinker, yet I would prefer to haye
my exterior decorated from summit to base
with the rankest kind of rotten eggs rather
than to allow one drop of liquid villainy to
pass my lips.
"Ten years ago the cause of temperance
was not so respectable as it is to-day, be
cause there were not so many respectable
men and women advocating it. It has
gained ground. I: is gaining ground. and
all because men and women who believe in
it could not be brow beaten or frizhtened.
Take a list of the labor societies of America
and the total sum paid into the treasuries
from all sources from their organization to
the present time will not exceed $5,000.000.
The Knights of Labor is the largest and
most influential of them all, and though so
much has been said conecrning the vast
amount of money that has beea collected
from the members,. yet the total sum levied
and collected for all purposes up to the
present time will not exceed $800.000.
Now letus turn to the other side. In New
York alone it is estimated that not less than
$25,000 a day are spent for drink. ,k75,000,
000 in a year. If I eared more for the
praise and approbation of labor's enemies
than I do for the interestjof labor I would
remain silent, We are seeking to reform
existing evils. We must first reform our
selves."
The Cotton Movement.
From the New York Financial Chron
ile's cotton article the following figures
are gathered relative to the movement of
the staple during the past week:
The total receipts reached 3,59S bales,
against 2,364 bales last week, 3,549 bales
the previous week, and 4,032 bales three
weeks since; making the total receipts
since the 1st September, 1886, 5,190,412
bales, against 5,260,703 bales for the same
period of 1885-6, showing a decrease since
September 1, 1886, of 70,261 bales.
The exports for the week reach a total
of 13,675 bales, of which 10,787 were to
Great Britain, 209 to France, and 2,681
to the rest of the continent.
The total visible supply of cotton, as
made up by cable and telegraph, for the
week is as follows:
Total of Great Britain stock 831,000
bales, total of continental stocks 384,
800-makig a total of European stocks
of 1,215,800) bales. The total visible
supply for the world is 1,808,325 bales;
of this number 1,138,525 are American
and 669,800 East Indian, etc.
The imports into continental ports
during the week were 55,000 bales.
These figures indicate a decrease in the
cotton in sight of 45,278 bales as com
pared with the same date of 1886, and
a decrease of 41,960 bales as compared
with the corresponding date of 1885.
The receipts at interior towns for the
week have been 2,035 bales. Old inte
rior stocks decreased 2,491 bales, and
were 47,839 bales less than at the same
period last year.
The receipts from the plantations,
being the actual movement, not includ
ing the overland receipts nor Southern
consumption, of cotton that reached the
market through the outports for the
week were 3,598 bales. The total re
ceipts since the 1st of September are
5,184,284 bales. The actual movement
from the plantations was only 3,598
bales, the balance being taken from the
stocks at the interior towns.
Cotton in sight June 24 was 6,312,076
being a decrease of cotton in sight as
compared with last year of 116,822.
The Chronicle says, in reviewing the
speculation in futures during the week:
"The speculation in cotton for future
delivery at this market has been feverish
and unsettled in tone, with the course of
prices somewhat erratic and irregular.
The reduced stocks have caused some
anxiety about contracts for this crop,
and August options advanced 40 points
from the recent figures-namely, from
10.66. to 11.06c., but there was no eon
sidererable short interest to 'squeeze,'
and prices gave way the moment buying
ceased to be active. The very favorable
reports from the growing crop prevented
any material improvement in the more
distant options, although it is generally
admitted that the supplies will run
probably quite low in the early fall
months, especially in Europe."
A VERY RSEMARKXABLE FEATUR.E of the
annual report of the Pension Bureau is1
not that the volume of business was
greater than ever before, but that there
is an unexpended balance of the appro
priations for salaries and current ex
penses; which has been turned back into
the national treasury. Heretofore the
business of the Pension Bureau has been
so deftly arranged that not a dollar of
the ~appropriation ever found its way
back to the place whence it was drawn.
It is sufficient evidence of the generosity
of the Government toward the soldiers
of the Union that in the year just endea,,
nearly a quarter of a .century after the -
close of the war, there were altogether
176,879 clam for pensions considere- I
and 55,194 original pensions were grant
ed under the liberal laws now in force.
It requires a force of nearly fifteen hun
dfred people to transat this business, an
average of nearly thirteen thousand let
ters and documents being received and
sent out every working day, and the
amount paid for pensions now reaching
the enormous annual total of seventy
four millions of dollars. This sum ex
ceeds either the annual civil expendi
tures or the ordinary military and naval
expenditures at the present time, as well
as the total expenditures of the Unitedt
States in any year previous to the civil
War.

A Letter to the Farmers of the State from
Colonel Duncan.
By invitation the sumnmner meeting of
the society will convene upon the grounds
of the inter-State farmers' summer en
caupment to be held at Spartanburg,
S. C., the first week in August next.
The society will hold its business meet
ing on Wednesday, the 3d. Theregular
programme of essays and scussions by
the society will take place on Thursday,
the 4th, this day being assigned by the
arranging committee as ihe State Agri
cultural and Mechanical Society Day.
As you are aware, it has been our cus
ton-, to have a representation of three
delegates from each county. While we
wisi to urge upon the members to see
to it that each county sends a delegation
at the same time we call your attention
to the fact that this is a meeting of the
society, and all members are entitled to
be present, and we hope as many will
attend as possible.
This inter-State farmers' summer en
canipment meeting has been so thor
oughly advertised that it is unnecessary
to say more than to urge as many as
Sssible to be present. It will be the
gest concourse of farmers proper that
has ever assembled for the purpose for
which this meeting is organized; it will
be fraught with various matters of ma
trial interest to all farmers, and it is
eminently proper, ! not absolutely nee
essary, that your society be fully repre
sented, it being the only "simon pure"
agricultural organization in the State
that has for its object the discussion and
development of purely agricultural sub
jects, and of matters that apply to the
farmer's every-day life.
It is tru: we have the order of the
Patrons of Husbandry, under whose
auspices this farmers' inter-State en
canipment is to be held. The Granges
have their social and educational fea
tures, which ca-,.y along with it its lady
membership, and while we individually
think it the best and most perfect or
ganization in all its equipments the farm
er has ever had, yt it has failed to keep
its hold on the rank and file of our
faimners.
Then we have the farmers' movement
organization, which has developed into
an organization whose prime object is to
look after and protect the farmers' po
litical rights, to watch over and see that
such legislation as is necessary for his
interest be secured, and to take charge
of all matters of a like character, which
all will readily acknowledge to be pre
eminently proper. But never before in
the history of our agricultural interest
ha. there been more need of a vitalizing
curen-t than at this time. Farmers are
day by day being aroused to the fact
that they, too, must be progressive.
This is the age of less acres and a greater
prodtct from them. improvements in
implements, in cultivation, in seeds, and
in ati kinds of farm equipments; and
whc re will the farmers looking for this
vitalizing current if not in the State Ag
ricultural and Mechanical Society?
For Lhe past twenty years, since your
reorganization after the war, your so
ciety has been doing a good work, both
iL tue discussion of agricultural subjects
at our summer meetings, as well as by a
general display of things appertaining to
our calling at our annual State fairs, and
it will be only natural, after all spas
modic efforts are expended, for our
farners to turn 40 your society to in
quire what is the news from the agricul
tural watch tower. Therefore we would
again urge you to be present at the
Spartanburg meeting. Let the members
in each county hold a meeting on salks
day in July, and if not more than a
delegation of three can attend, let them
decidie upon those and forward the name
to Thomas W. Holloway, Pomaria, S.
C. We have been in the habit of mak
ing special rates of transportation for
delegates to our summer meetings, but
this is one at which there will be so large
an at tendance outside ef the society that
we are using our efl~rts to get unusually
low rates for all, which will be announc
ed at an early day.

Too Deep for Mim.
A Boston girl came over to New
York. She amused herself very well for
several days. among her otier Tk-i1re(
including the beautiful dis f
anthemumas atCo.smUopeoitn liaiL Ph
was deliahted with it. T . l
shocks of snowy and tl:-m-ronreC
blooms and the new Japanese swi
lings that look as if nature ih:. ( cpid
them from decorations on J.p'uIeC
jars, and the clean, fresh, curious per
fumes tilled her cultured soil so full of
sentiment that it bubbled over for the
benefit of a New York mian. 1I cei
to call soon after lier return froi the
flower show. Ile was a
young person, who never by any ac
dent polluted his person with any ar.
ele manfactured in tis cuttry. l
was turned out complete fromi top to tue
in English goods. and his -ait on ti
avenue filled beholders with the w!tA
awe and delight, it so elos-ly copoi ti
true thoroughbred stride. Tho import
ant details oi dress had occupiel his
walking hours so closciy that he had
found but littlo time to unbend his mini
over a book. and other matters even
more important had escaped his atten
tention, among them the flower show,
which he happened not to havc heard of.
"I've just come from sCeinr the chrvs
anthemums," said the entimia-t:v
young woman from Boston: "an'.
it was such a treat. 1 never ca.ed
anything so much in my life. Have you
been yet?"
"No," he drawled out loud, thinking
to himself, "What the deuce is the giri
talking about, anyhow?" After rapid
but profound reasoning he came to i i:
conclusion tihat being :a Boston woman
and addicted to literature, the thing thwt
she had been to was something paraiz
ing of an intellectual nature, and prolm
bly scientific. judging from the long anl
unpronounceable name. So he re
marked lightly that really he "didln
go much into that sort of thing now-it
was out of his line, too deep entirely for
him."
The Boston girl stared. "What do
you mean, sir? Chrysanthemus too
deep?"
"Well, yon know." sai the hapl-sz
youth, putting his foot dceper in his
mouth every time he opened it. "that
one has to do such an awful 1 ot of
reading to keep up with these scientili.
things, and for my part I never cnyiy
them unless I am quite up on Ihe sub
ject they're talking about." lie felt he
was getting skillfully over a dillicult
question and continued, with g7raceful
self confidence. to add a few delicate
and artistic touches to his position.
-When I go to this sort of thing," he
declared, -I get works on the suoject
and read up thoroughly, so that I can
follow the speaker with intelligeit in
terest; but I'm too awfully busy just
now to be able to do that. and so I cut
the Nineteenth Century Club, and t.he
Chrysanthemum, and "all the rest of it."
Tile Boston girl gasped a few times
and then said she supposed that lie
really must work awfully hard, and it
really was no cud of a pity he had had
to give up his studies. But before she
went back to Boston she told the story,
and the young man has gone out in the
country to star some time with his sis
ter. The Boston girl says .she thinks
New York men are "delicious, simply
delicious."-. Y. World.
In a Battle-Panorama Studio.
The central platform is, of course, the
standpoint from which visitors will view
the panorama,-and therefore the artista
are obliged to go to it frequently, as the
painting nears completion, in order tc
observe the effect and progress of their
work.
This, too, is the place of conference.
and despite the signs of -'No Admit
tance," within and withour, visitors are
frequent, and usually welcome, These
visitors are often veteran soldiers who
t ok part tn the action represented, and
who often make helpful suggestions.
The army stories that are told on the
central platform, would, if collected,
make a prodigious volume. The floor
of the platform is chalked and reehalk
ed, some referring to the panorama it
self, but miore to illustrate occurrences
upon other fields. The strong pine rail
surrounding the platform is pencilled all
over with kindred decorations, while
scraps of paper, upon which are memo
randa of incidents, and a variety of data,
as well as names and addresses, arc
pinned to the convenient timber with
thumb-tacks.
The artist paints steadily, every indi
vidual being mainly occupied in lperfect
ing his own work, though never hesitat
ing to ask or extend aid in some special
direction. One artist, for instance, has
an excellent figure of a mounted oflicer,
all complete excepting the portrait,
a photograph for which is pinned to the
canvas. While this artist goes to
strengthen a line of battle, another
one will rapidly paint an admirable
portrait for the incomplete figure. Soon,
another brush is busy with the horse,
while another artist calls for some spec
ial saddle and bridle to be brought to
the platform that he may paint the trap
bw, look at the back of the photo
graph which is pinned to the canvas
a faded carte de visite of a youn g oni'er,
upon a slip of paper we read the follow
ing: "Col. K., now on General Sheri
dan's staff, H 47" (meaning section H,
square 47 of the panoramia); '-Freneh
cap, blouse, captain's straps-stair
dark-blue trousers, gold cord, cavairy
boots, staft sword, 'IcClelian saddle;
shabrack-black horse; see sketch."
This instance will give an idea of the
way in which facts are preservedi when
a panoramia is painted by artists who
conscientiously strive to make of the
work a great historical painting.-Tco
