The charge would not be true, and if it w I have enly to say that I would a thousand times rather vast a thousand votes for a mine owner in the Rocky mountains who employs labor, and con- tributes to the wealth of my country than to cast one vote for a foreign shylock, who conspires to rob the labor of the world. “We cannot afford to shut off the foun- tain of Ife to find a grain of sand, nor d stroy a mountain of good to find a peb- ble of evil. », the mine own- | ers can have labor itself.

What | s true in Utah in this respect is true in arly every other state in the mountain districts of the west. The Boom in Business. “The spontaneous influx of gold and re- sumption of manufacturing since the result of the election was known proves conclu- | sively that the gold barons and the cor- porations locked up the money and closed of the country to secure the th the factori victory ove people by arbitrary force. “The demands of the people for the ne ries of life were no greater after ele than before, and except the millions | by the ‘money power to corrupt the voters, the people have no more money with which to buy the necessaries of life r election than they had before it. No honest ca’ » given for the uniocking of money and the revival of in- dustries after the late election that did not ist before the election occurred. Such re- 1 of trade and industry can only be temporary at best, and proves that the in- dustrial masses of this country are at the oligarchy of wealth and a combine of gold gambiers, who can lock up the money of the country, close our indus- and starve the people at will. he Knights of Labor is the only organization commanding the nec machinery to hold up a great reform move- ment during the interim between political campaigns. Therefore, | appeal to the dele- gates here assembled to place a demand for the free coinage of silver at the present legal ratio in our preamble, and bare our ports, and clear our decks for action against the plutecratic combine arrayed on the side of a single gold standard. “It is not alone because of the merit con- tained in the question that I make this ap- peal, but because of the combine opposed to it, and the opportunity that it will af- ford’ us to reach the public with other questions vital to the interests and welfare of the working people. Reviewing the Y tion laid out ar. “The year past since the Washington ses- sion ef the general assembly has been one of low wages and enforced idieness, in con- sequence of which all labor organizations have suffered, and some of them show a marked decline in membership. Your gen- eral officers have struggled against many embarrassments, which the membership at jarge will never know, and had not the grand principles on which the order is founded and the independence and knowl- edge of its members made it a prominent factor in a great struggle for financial re- form, we would not now command the re- spect of the reform forces of this and other countries. Let us dispel all factional dif- ferences, and invite all branches of honor- able toil to join us in a general crusade against the plutocratic classes, who, under the guise of honest money, have combined to rob the working people of the fruits of } their toil, of their homes, and of their con- stitutional liberties. “As the chief officer of this order during the past three years, I have received every honor, every assistance, and every kind consideration which a loyal and patriotic membership could bestow. upon its chief executive, and I beg to express my grati- tudGe for the generous support and kind treatment everywhere received, and I pledge to you, to my successor and to the great cause of knighthood, my most loyal support and my best endeavors in the struggie to aleviate, through the efforts of this order, the distresses of oppressed hu- manity. “Fraternally yours ee “J. R. SOVEREIGN, “General Master Workman.” Sccretary-Treasurer Hayes’ Report. The annual report of Secretary-Treasurer J. W. Hayes opens with a reference to what the official named terms “attacks of a most villainous character” upon the gen- eral officers of the order, “by reason of the just stand taken by them in refusing to allow a small clique of men, who are fa- miliarly known as the ‘New York triangle’ of the socialistic labor party, to get control of the machinery of the Knights of Labor for the dissemination of their doctrines.” The so-called triangle, according to Mr. Hayes, consists of Daniel De Leon, Lucien Sanial and Ernst Rohn. The report treats also of the action of the American Federation of Labor direct- t interests than | L ing all organizations that. were affiliated both with the Knights of Labor and with the federation (for trade purposes) to with- draw from the Knights of Labor. This ac- tion, the report says, is in direct violation of the arrangement entered into with the weneral exccutiye board by the representa- tives of the National Union prior to the for- ation of National Trade Assembly wherein it was agreed that the interest o! the order was t@ bythe first consideration: that the entire,trade should be organized vader the jurisdiction of the Knights of abor, and attaghed) to National Trade As- s y 85, and that the general assembly should render all yprsible assistance to the je in protecting, their members from un- and tyrannical employers, r.

When ly- ing, villainous and Ubelous statem ap- pear from the pen of those who failed to have their personal ambition gratified with- in the organization, and either withdrew and rid us of their unworthy presence or were cxpelled, your general officers could meet them, but when such statements ap- pear in papers supposed to be friendly to labor whose editor and officers are mem- bers of the Knights of Labor, and who hide their miserable masked carcasses be- hind the shield of our order, your general officers have just reason to feel aggrieved.

Wedding Witnessed by Philadelphia’s ‘Wealth and Fashion. A PHILADELPHIA, November ,.11.—-The wealth and fashion of Philadelphia were crowded into St. Luke’s-Church at noon today to witness the wedding of Miss Ellen Nixon Harrison, daughter of Mr. Charles C. Harrison, and Mr. Campbeli Emory Me- Michael. Miss Harrison is one of the most popular girls in Philadelphia's exclusive set. For several years she has been a lead- er in the younger circle, and many lavish entertainments have been given in her honor. Mr. McMichael is the son of Col. Clayton McMichael, and is associated with his father and brother in the conduct of the North American. He is a member of the Rittenhouse Club, Philadelphia Barge Club and Philadelphia City Troop. Mr. Harriscn, the bride's father, is the provost of the University of Pennsylvania, and is one of the wealthiest citizens of Philadelphia. He was a member of the great sugar refining firm of Harrison, Havemeycr & Co., and is now the senior pnenicer of the firm of Harrison, Frazier & ‘0. The ceremony was performed by Bishop O. W. Whitaker, diocese of eastern Penn- sylvania; Rev. Leverett Bradley, rector of St. Luke’s Church, and Rev. George Keller, rector of old St. David's Church, at Rad- nor, where the bride's family are summer attendants. The bridesmaids were Miss Esther White Harrison, Miss La Lite Lesley, Miss Helen Douglass Bickley, Miss Edith Lewis Waln, Miss Sarah Ann Frazier and Miss Emily Harrison Thorp. They were attired in white moire with white stocks, wore black chiffon hats lined with pink, and carried Miss Ella Nixon Harrison. large bunches of white chrysanthemums with pink ribbons. Miss Karoline Nixon Newhall was maid of honor. Tho bride wore a white satin gown, trimmed with pearls and lace. rhe best man was the groom's brother, yton Fotterall McMichael. The ushers were Dr. Charles Harrison Frazier, Dr. herbourne W. Dougherty, Mr. Adolph George Rosengarten, Mr. George L. Har- rison, jr., of Philadelphia; Mr. Robert M. McLane, jr., of Baltimore; Mr. Augustus Rene Moen and Mr. Lewis Brown Gawtry of New York, Mr. Wm. F. Judson of Dobb's Ferry. Mr. Frederick Brooke Neilson, a per- sonal friend of the bridegroom, was at the organ, and his own choir from the Church of the Ascension rendered the choral serv- ice. Before the bridal procession entered the church they sang, “The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden,” and before the ben: diction they sang again, ‘Oh, Perfect Cc. Emory Me“ichael. Love.” The ceremony was simple and beautiful. The church was lavishly deco- rated in admirable taste, with a profusion of planis and flowers. | Mrs. Charles Harrison, the mother of the bride, wore a handsome costume cf white moire, embroidered with pink roses and blue bow knots. Mrs. Clayton Mc- Michael was attired in a dress of mauve- color moire and royal purple velvet, with white lace and iridescent passementerie trimmings. The bonnet was of mauve velvet with pansies and purple feathers. After the church cegemony a reception followed at the home of the bride's par- ents, 8 Locust street. About 400 guests were present. The wedding breakfast of the bridal party was very jolly, and was enlivened with songs. Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Michael left on an early afternoon train for New York, whence they will go into the Berkshire hills for a month's wedding tour. a TRINITY’S RECTOR. Hax Made No Definite ice as Yet. The vestry of Trinity Protestant Eptsco- pal Church, corner of 3d and C streets, met last evening to transact the parish routine business, and also to consider the matter of calling a rector. Both wardens and all the vestrymen were present, as it was expected that something definite would be dcne, since both congregation and vestry are impatient of the delay. The meeting, which was presided over by Mr. Theodore ©. Ebaugh, lasted from 7:30 p.m. until nearly 10, but at its close all the informa- tien officially authorized was that some- thing will be done within the next two weeks. It is thought, from one or two cir- cumstances that have happened within the past ten days, that a call will be extended to some clergyman next week. The friends of the minister in charge, Rev. Alexander M. Rich, are very desirous that he beasked to take the rectorate, and to this end they have been circulating a petition among the members of the’ con- gregation. This petition has been signed by many of the most prominent members of the parish, and it either was presented to the vestry meeting last evening or will be handed to them at the next meeting, which is expected to take place about the middle of next week. A number of the vestry are said to be in faver of calling Mr. Rich, and, in fact, there seems to be a feeling among the congregation that he will be the next postor. Mr. Rich js a son of the late Rev. Dr. Arthur Rich, who was principal of the Maryland Diocesan School for young la- dies, Hannahmore Academy, at Reisters- town. He has not yet taken full orders in the church, but will probably be ordained by Bishop Satterlee some time the latter part of this month or the first of next month. ‘A prominent member of the parish states that the reason why the vestry did not sit last night was because they wish to have another consultation with the bishop. Fri- day evening of this week the Rev. Geo. H. McGrew, assistant to Dr. Greer at St. Bartholomew's Church, New York city, is to deliver a sermon under the auspices of St. Andrew's Brotherhood at St. John’s Church at the suggestion of Btshop Sat- terlee, and it is regarded as a significant fact that nearly all of Trinity's vestry are expected to be present and hear him. 8t. Bartholomew’s,next to Trinity,New York, is the wealthiest church in the country, and Dr. McGrew is a well-known minister, hav- ing»received the degree of D.D. trom Wes- leyan.
