In New Yark the United Trades have repudiated the sanguinary utterances of orators who have no real fzation of the power of words; in Haitt- more the carpenters and joiners have de- clared themselves to be peaceful citizens | and are pletged to the preservation of or- er. At the latter meeting Mr. Richard Powers, the national organmer, said that “the recent disturbances in New York city 87 Bo indication of any disturbance in o1 |S nized labor, and I say that the federa- ‘ton will not tolerate any attempt on the [pert of any of her members to take any part 5 an attempt at the wrongful overthrow f any of the established forms of govern- rent. But in time of peace, I say, prepare or war, and as we are standing on the ythreshold of a volcano, I ask you to be prepared, as conservators of the peace, and as honest American workmen, to see to it that the interests of workingmen are se- cunsgy004 that this country come trom the crisis as {t should, unscathed and not dishonored.” ‘The lawless demonstrations which have taken place in several cities during the past few days are made by men and women of the most un-American types—degraded beings who attempt to hold the ration re- sponsible for individual laziness or misfor- tune. In New York a body of foreign ana chists repeatedly reversed the country’s flag, insisting that the ensign should re- main down. In every speech there is dis- loyalty of the sort that in other lands would be termed treason; in every action is threatened murder. Last night at a meeting in New York a speaker of Irish ex- traction complained because the imported pauper labor had ground down the Amert- | can workingman, a statement that brought | forth derisive yells and hisses from the alien audience. The foreign character of the assembly was most clearly shown by the resolutions adopted, in which the meet- ing declared that “We stand together as fighting men and not allow political parties to dictate to us. We must unite with the American workingmen of this city and march forward with a just demand for bread It was also decided to “demand of the United States and the state govern- ments that they hasten in providing work for us, else the greatest blood of the cen- tury will fall on their heads if they do not give us bread." American workingmen will do well to avoid anything like relationship with those lawless dead beats. —— see ‘The recent appointment of a colored post- master in Ohio is said to be on the indurse- ment of Senator Brice.

From the Wall Street Daily News. There is one very encouraging sign of the times to be noted. Every business man had more or less dread of the Fifty-third Congress, knowing that it had among its members an unusually large number of in- experienced members, with rather chaoti ideas regarding finances and the rights « roperty. The debates thus far have show wever, that there is no reason to dreac the inffuence of these men. Congress 1s still controlled by experienced legislater: Execrated. and there is no reason to dou! -y will restrain the radicals and pre- vent anything beyond conservative efforts to amend existing firancial laws. Brom the New York Tribune, The silver extremists in the Senate are still talking of their intention and power to prevent a vote on any proposition to re- peal the Sherman act which does not pro- vide for free coinage. But there will be a vote in the Senate on such a proposition. There ts not a shadow of doubt as to that. The Senate may defy the people and deny them the relief they demand. But it has got to vote to do it. and ft is going to vote, one way or the other. Paste that in your scrapbook for reference. Aprons Slaughtered At McKnew’s.
