Education the Safeguard of the Work- ing Classes—K. of L. Doings. ‘The fourth of the series of letters to the oer of the Knights of Labor, prepared by General Master ‘Workman Powderly before he was taken sick this Week, 1s forthcoming in the Journal of United Labor. In this letier Mr. Powderly deals with ‘the child labor, the labor-saving machinery and educational questions After vividly describing the misfortunes of the boys who work in the mines, ‘Mr. Powderly says: “The joss to the nation in all that makes up the useful citizen, the honest, active legislator and the briliant statesman through child labor cannot be estimated. Go through the facto! les of the United ‘States. Once the factories were all in the east; to- day they are everywhere. Examine for yourself and you will 9ee that child labor has not been abolished, even though the law calls for it. Amid the dust Of the mill, where the human votce cannot be heard above the roar of the machinery, with eyes almost burning fo their sockets, you will tind hundred: thousands and tens of thousands of little boys He argues that children under fifteen years of ‘Should not be allowed to work. In another passage Mr. Powderly says: “I have beard it ‘that if we educate the masses we but enable them to see their misery, we make {t ible for them to understand their real condl- mm in life, we make them discontented with the lot to which Almighty God has called them, and in their discontent they will be apt todo harm to ni cay poomean The se ob} 1 eaten wring thant hese objections do not spt ee ee they have been handed down from the dark days of labor's thraldom, and are un- Worthy of this enlightened age.’ ‘The masses should not be in misery, and if they are they ‘should not only know it, but they should know what eee ES apply.

Drs.

The surface tumor it- self appears to be partly cicatrized and partly cov- ered with flat growth, which have a tendency to increase. Dr. Mackenzie reached San Remo at 7 O'clock last evening and immediately visited the crown prince. After examining the crown prince's Ubroat Dr. Mackenzie deciared that he found no dangerous symptoms. The English official court elreular says that the queen has received @ re- assuring report concerning the prince’s condition, abd that the newspaper telegrams about tue prince: are Inaccurate of exaggerated. The crown princess and members of her faintly took a walk yesterday, but the crown prince stayed Indoors, his condition, ‘being unimproved. —— Current Interest in Cancer. ‘The sudden public interest in cancer, says the St. James’ Gozette, shows how true it 1s that peo- ple are blind even to the most obvious facts until Something happensto direct special attention to them. Cancer is by no means an ynfamiliar disease, and during late years has steadily increasing In this country. The deaths from cet per 10,000 persons living are now about 5.5, which Isa higher rate than that of the deaths {fom diphtheria, croup. dropsy, Water on tne brain, Kidney disease, and others, of which more isheard. In view of the increase which has recently taken place (1n 1861-165 the rate per 10,000 persons living Was 3.65), it is certainly desirable that ‘special inquiry should be made into the cause of this terrible malady, with a view to the prevention of a disease which, When estabitshed, 1s now In- curable. Some years ago there wis published somewhere a “cancer map” of Great Britain, showing that the disease 1s practically absent from, high level districts, but very prevalent in low- lying and marshy regions. ‘The lesson derived from ae eee eee cap cer should, if possible, live in high Dorhoods. = Mr. Harris, in the Virginia house of delegates yesterday, rose to a question of privilege, and pro- ceeded to speak in reference to the protest of the farmers and grapgers of Virginia aga nst the elec- tion of Col.

Harrison, and why, uader a vended reform and civil-service administration, he should have been removed. The resolution was declared out of order, It was called forth by the action of the Virginia State Grange, protesuing against the election of Col, whitenéad.

Shortly after midnight Wednesday, Mayor Har- ris, of Newark, was called from his house to the eity hall to perform a marriage ceremony. The groom was Samuel Well, a gardener, of 60 Bank street, He 1s sixty years of age, and has five grown-up children, with whom he lives. The bride was Caroline Poppltz, sixty-one years old, and a resident of Brooklyn. ‘It would appear that the contracting parties are sorry for their act, and tuat the marriage Was the outcome of a joke. On the night of Ue marriage the aged couple, with a Mr, Beck, Were in a wine-room on Market street, where they drank some wine. itz, now Mrs. Well, was joule, Mr. Beck 1s sald to have remarked: “Here tsa widow, and there is a widower. You two spould make a match.” A laugh was caused by Une remark, but the old nally concluded that it Would be @ good thing todo, and they im- mediately starved out to look for a party who could perforin the ceremony. ‘The announcement of (he iaatriage caused great rise among the groom's children. ‘They say he Is unable to work and cannot earn any money, and they do not want a mother-in-law in tue ‘Frying to Save Mrs. Robinson. AN “ATTEMPT TO SHOW THAT SHE DID NOT POISON ‘HER SOX. A telegram from Boston last night says: In the trial of Mrs Robinson this morning the line of defense was sketched, which intimates that Willie Robinson was poisoned, but not by his mother. The defense will evidently try to throw the blame on Dr. Beers,who was an admirer of Mrs. Robinson. ‘The frst "witness was the accused's surviviug son, who testified to Dr. Beers giving isn pills to give to his sister Lizzie. He had also given Wille some of those pills. | On one occasion is mother took the pills intended for Lizzie and Uhrew them tn the fire. He also testified to the affection exhibited by his mother for all her chil. dren.

Austria Vigerously Pushing her Mili- tary Preparations on the Russian Frontier. ‘The @ruicle in the st.

Moreover the area in which Russta has constructed railways 18 twice as large as thatin which her neighbors have built such lines. ‘The Russian railways nowhere Pass outside the defense lines of the triangle formed by St. Petersburg, Warsaw and.

Our neighbors’ increased military pre- Parations in 1886 compelled Russia to devise counter measures, which will be gradually exe- cuted. The transfer of a few cavalry ts on the Vistala might certainly be made the pre- text to excite the press and public opinion to charge Russia with warlike intentions. Germany and Austrian military authorities understand the defensive character of this measure.

In official circles the opinion 1s expressed that the article willcause no change in the attt- tude of Austria. ‘The government, it 1s believed, Defore taking actively responsive measures of de- fense, will wait to see whether Russta continues her Uireatening military preparations. A long in- terview during the week between Count Kalnoky and the German ambassador led to accord between the two governments on the deciston of the Aus. trian military council, The serious character of the situation has never been underestimated in Austrian official circles. ‘The government has never been unmindful of the duties which the Ger- Man alliance imposes, and in the face of the Kus- slan arnaments the authorities have never for a moment been Idle.

A motion to compel all organizations to obtain charters from Use federation one month before the meeting of Lhe convention occasioned considerable debate ‘and warm opposition from representatives of the International Typographical Union, who declared that their old and influential organization would Under no circumstances‘come to the federation for a charter, and it Was alhended to read certificate of membership instead of charter, and passed, ‘The question of equitaule representation was the cause of lengthy discussion.
