Among the vic torivs gained by the English trades unions, were laws respecting the hours of labor, the forbidding of “track shops” in connection with mines and factories, preventing the employment of children, compelling the supervision of workshops, factories and mines, and legalizing organizations of labor for the mutual benefit of their members, Parliamentary comris- sions investigated laborers’ homes, pried into the ventilation and safety of buildings in which labor was em- ployed, and reported upon the average earning capacity of different trades. Employers were brought to sce that confidence could be brought to take the place of distrust just as soon ay emplyes were convinced that they would receive fair treatment at the hands of their employers, Boards of arbitration were organized in every branch of trade, composed in most oaves of three men, one selected from the trades union, one by the employer and another by the two combined. Within ten years one hundred and thirty great strikes have been fatisfac- torily settled by these courts, and millions of dollars saved to the nation. Trades unionism, no longer denounced from pulpit and platform, now flour- ishes in the popular confidence, and in the words of Mr. Morley, “is as material but macadam. Experience in the best teacher.

Labor, for a time con- tented, is urging no fresh claims, and capital, having learred to respect the atrength of its copartner, refrains from pressing demands calculated to provoke resistance,” The United States is about entering upon a struggle whose ending in Eng- land more than ten years ago, after more than a quarter of a century of bitter conflict, is largely responsible for the existing friendly relations be- tween capital and labor in that coun- try. Trades unionism in England was for many years rendered illegal by statutory enactment. Long and dreary lock-outs, strikes which depleted the reserves of capital, and wasted the savings of labor, were numerous and often repeated. The antagonism be- tween employer ;and employed, grew out of mutual suspicion and injustice, was fostered by the fears of the publio. Wealth, which never hesi- tated * to organize and com- bine to secure greater returns on capital, denounced as criminal any combination of labor to effect an improvement in wages, and a better- ment in the condition of the laboring classes. The terms of communist, radical, incendiary, which are now so treely hurling against American trades unions were used unsparingly against English organizations of workingmen, wud their leaders were denounced as asocial firebrands, enemies to society, and leaders of a revolt against good government, and the established prin- ciples of & sound political economy, The contests butween labor and capital in England carried on, on the one side by the great manufacturers and on the other by the trades unions, finally resulted in the establishment of the principle of arbitration. From the midst of the much feared trades union arose such leaders as Joseph Ohamberlain and Joseph Arch, who defended the principles of the labor organizations on the hustings and in “the public halls, and finally carried their appeal to the doors of parliament. had always been in possession of the public ear, Labor was now to be bemd through the press in the politi- much a organized institution of socie- ty as town councils or boards of guard- ians.” We believe that the people of the United States have no less reason for confidence in the growth of Trades un- ionism in this country than England to-day has in her own labor organiza- tions. The American workingman is much more at the mercy of his em- ployer than the English- man. The arrogance of capi- tal has been fed upon the impotency of labor. Isolated unions have been too weak to make their in- fluence felt throughout the country and a threatened strike in one state has been quickly suppressed on this account, by an importation of labor from another. The great need of trades unionism in the United States has been combination and organization, and towards this end affairs are drifting very rapidly., The “Knights of Labor' is the first at- tempt on a large scale to enable labor to meet capital on an equal footing. It was founded in 1870 by seven Phil- adelphia workingmen. Its ocentral idea was the removal of trade bias and craft distinctions in order to unite all classes of workmen in defense of the common intereats of their order. The organization is simple. Each trade society in & town or village can, if it is sufficiently numerous, form itself into a local assembly or lodge of the Knights of Labor, or it can unite with other local scoieties in order to form such an assembly. Each of these local assemblies sends delegates to the district assembly, which elects and cantrols the execu- tive board. Local assemblies meet once a week, district assemblies once a month, or, if need be, once a forc- night. The grand assembly meets once a year, Fach local assembly de- votes 20 per cent of its net income to a resistance or strikeifund, which is at the disposal of the executive board, Women are admitted to the or- ganization as frecly as men, nor is it confined to the wage-earning olase, All professional men but doctors and lawyers are freely admitted, Saloon keepors and bankers are excluded. At present tho Knights of Labor boast 2,000 branches scattered over the Union, and thelr number is daily increasing, Before entering into any industrial conflict the executive board propose arbitration to the empioyers, and in many cases they succeed in averting a strike. When, however, their mediation fails, they support the strikers with contributions drawn from every local aszembly in the asso- ciation, The headquarters of the knights of Iabor are at Pittsburg; their strength lies in the mining regions of Penn- sylvania and in the western states, In tho east, owing to the prevalence of the truck system—such at least is the explanation of the secretary of the order—and the keen competition of French-Canadian labor, the knights count but few members. The follow- ing is & summary of the leading points in their programme:—*‘The paseage of a lien law, the abolition of the prison contract system, the pro- hibition of the employment of chil- dren under fourteen years of age, compulsory education, the passage ot an employer’s liability law, cash pay- ment of wages at the ond of each week, reduction of the hours of labor, legislation for the reservation of the public lands, the use of greenback currency, anti-Chinese laws and a government bureau for labor statis- tics.” This is a wide reaching schedule some of the detaits of which are open to discussion, The central idea, the abolition of strikes which always do more or less damage to both labor and capital is one that will meet with general approval, Such an organization will soon raise up strong men fitted to guide its counsel and lead its members, This was the case in England and it wii. be the case in America. What our conntry needs is a better under- standing of the relations of eapital and labor, their mutual interdepen- dence in their points of couflict, the causes of the strifes and jealousics which grow up between employer and employe, and the means best adopted to cause and maintain harmonious re- lations. In Eogland it was the trades unions which brought about a truce to the expensive conflicts between manu facturers and workingmen, and it may be that in America the Kpights of Labor may succeed in accomplishing the same end, ————— ‘WE MUST CRUSH THEM. Mr. Cameron is mad, very mad in- deed, according to the dispatches from Philadelphia, where the boss of the Pennsylvania republicans is grinding his tecth over the formidable revolt within his party. “'I never saw the senator in such a bad temper before,” said a gentleman who lives in the in- terior of the state, ‘‘He fairly stormed, and in his choicest terms of conder- nation, committed the whole inde- pendent board to the most torrid of zones. ““D—n them all,” he ex- claimed, ‘‘wa must crush them; we'll give them all the fight they want, even if we have t> go down with colors flying, as the 306 went down. They must be crushed.” Mr. Cameron has got a big job on his hands. is not the first politician who started out as a crusher in true dramatio style and ended the play in the role of “The Crushed Tragedian.” The pecple, by which we mean the large majority of voters who submit to one man rule and boss methods only until the boss throws off the mask of a party Moses, have always exhibited a very strong reluctance to submit tothe crushing process. Cameron’s sole stock in trade has been his ability to crush the expression of political sentiment in Pennsylvania politics by weighting down the nominating and electoral machinery of the state whenever it dared to oppose his will, Just at present his stock has run very low and his best customers are patronizing a rival concern which is pledged to do a littlo crushing on behalf of the best blood of the republican party. It is barely possible that Mr. Cameron may experionco the sensations of the men who tried to tickle the hind leg of the mule with such disastrous results to his personal appearance, but with a substantial increase of his stock of in- formation. The general interest taken in the political contest in Pennsylvania arises from the feeling that in warring against the Cameron dynasty the in- dependent republicans are making the first determined battle for a free and unbridled expression of political sentiment throughout the country. Pennsylvania is not the only state which is afilicted by unscrupulous party leaders, or in which the voice of the party upon questions of public policy hss been systemat- ically throttled to advance the personal ends of ambitions and cor- rupt politicians, Nor is Penusylvania the sole instance in which opposi- tion to the crack of the bosses whip has been met by the insolent retort that public sentiment must be crush- ed at all hazards in order to maintain the supremacy of tho few at the ex- pense of the many, ‘‘We must crush them” is the cry of the bosses in every state where sigrs of revolt against party abuses begin to appear. “We must crush them” is the re- sponse of the political machine of cor- porate monopolies to all organizations created to resist monopoly dictation, and interfere in party methods. The reply of intelligent and thoughtful voters in every case must be that ot the Pennsylvania independents, Pur- ity in political methods, the free and unrestricted expression of public sen- timent, and the assurance of truly representative government must be secured at all costs, If to accomplish this end, it is necessary to withdraw from political organizatiors which have outlived their usefulness because they no longer voice the will of the mass of the party whose name they bear, then no other course remains but open reyolt, The only way to overthrow bossism, be it the bossism of unscrupulous party loaders, or the tyrannical des- potism of consolidated capital manip- ulated by disreputable tricksters, is to shear the locks from these modern Samsons, The people will not submit to be crushed, and when no other alternative presents itself, will speed- ily organize to crush the crushers, — STATE JOTTINGS.

Omaha’s Future an Assuredly Bright One. — During theState Sportsmen’s tourna- ment in this city, some very bright and readable letters hava been sent the State Journal by Col. B. H. Polk, who, in to-day’s issue, has the follow- ing among other notes: “Omaha bears evidences of pros- perity. Thero can scarcely be a doubt regarding her being a city of importauce in the future, She is no small pumkin even now. Heretofore her miserable streets have been the chief drawback to a more rapid growth, but since an act of the extra session of the legislature fixed it so she can do so with undoubted legality, she will certainly go to work and build such streets as are needed and that will be a credit to any city. There are in course of erection many new buldings in the shape of business houses, and scores up- on scores of residences in every quarter of the city, mostly small ones for the laboring classes. Upon the hill overlooking the valley of the Missouri and the bluffs beyond, are some beautiful homes, tastefully kept, and taking in such an enchanting view that I could not refrain from en- vying the occupants of some of them, he outlook reminds me forcibly of that from the hills in the southern outskirts of Vicksburg, save there the expanse of water falling under the vis- ion is much .greater, but with no line of bluffs in the distance as there is here. Theimmediate surroundings are strikingly alike. I fear if I bring my people hero and they were to geta glimpse of this view I would never be able to get them back to Lincoln.” Hartford, P Thomas Fitchan, Bradford, Pa., writes: “I enclose money for SPRING BLOSSOM, a8 I said I would if it cured me.

The Heayenly Wanderer Now Com- ing & Very Decorous Fellow. A philosopher, in placing his astro- nomical thoughts on paper, talks as follows: *‘If we are to believe the truthful astronomers—and as they are neither mixed up in politics nor relig- ion, they can have no particular occa- siou to lie—the biggest kind of a comet is coming toward this planet, A patent medicine man offers a reward for every comet that is unearthed, without regard to age, size, sex or previous condition, Church people, and all others who believe in preserv- ingthe proprieties, will be glad to learn that this fresh comet does not hold its tail straight up in the airina frisky and important manner, as the last one did. The coming comet is what might be called a family comet. There is nothing improper about it, at least the old scientists, who are judges in such matters, and who have been looking at it with opera glasses, say there is not, This coming comet has one habit that is highly commendable. Tt does not do as the lastone did; that could only be seen after dark, as is often the case with disreputable fast characters. This new comet will keep open all the season, with a mati- nee for ladies, clergymen and children in the afternoon. It is a regular Sun- day school comet. It will be visible in daylight. to use plain language.” He May Well Bs Jovfal. Torrka, Kan,, May 12,:1881. H.

VITATION. Bartlett Crawls Through & Knot-hole and Pulls the Hole After Him. At the request of E. M. Bartlett we copy the following letter that appeared in the two Omaha monopoly papers Savurday morning: Deverall, William Turtle, of the Several Labor Asso: clations of the City of Umaha; GrNTLEMEN—My attention has been called to a communication in the Omaha Bee, purporting to be signed by officers of the labor associations in this city, nviting me to be present at a workingmen’s mass meeting, to be held at the Academy of Music on Sun- day, May 28th, at 1:30 o’clock p. m., to enable me to publicly explain to my constituents, While I fully ap- preciate the courtesy extended me by our kind invitation, I must respect- ¥ully decline, as I deem it entirely un- necessary to explain a mwatter about which there is no ambiguity and can be no mistake. The report you de- sire mo to explain is a matter of record and can be found 1n the journal of the seventeenth session of the house of representatives, at the capitol, in the city of Lincoln, in the state of Ne- braska. I presume the files of the Republican and Herald of this city also contain correct copies of said re- port, As there is no blame attached therein to the laboring men individu- ally or as organizations, I believe it meets the hearty approval of all law- abiding citizens, flo object of the resolution was to fix the censure in re- lation to calling out the troops where it properly belonged, and those only who took advantage of the existence of the strike to create a disturbance are blamed. The report, therefore, cannot be offensive to any peaceful laboring man. It will afford me pleasyre to address mg friends among the“labonng men whenever I may have the honor of being invited so to do, but as the Sab- bath day is one recognized and set apart by our laws as a day of rest and held sacred by a large portion of the community as a day of worship I can- not consent to take part in a political mass meeting for the purpose of s public discussion of political questions on that day, I have the honor to be your obedi- ent servant, E.

The object of the meeting was stated to be the consideration of the question of bettering the condition of Farnam street from Ninth to Fifteenth street, either by repairing the macadam now down or putting in new pavemont of some kind. A general debate took place, in which Messrs Poppleton, Rosewater, Miller, Meyer, Kountze and Burns participated.

ST RRE A AN THE CITY COURT. Judge Beneke Continues to Run the Judicial Mill, In the police court Saturday quite a number of cases came up of those arrested on warrants, etc. The suit against Henry Homan was dismissed, and the defendent, Wm., P. Snowden being sick his case was continued John G. Nugent and Robert Glenn have been complained against for sell- ing liquor without a license, and they will appear at 2 o'clock, to-day, to answer. They have sold under the old license issued to the Grand Central hotel, and with the advice of the mayor and city attorney that it was perfectly legal. They had also applied and paid for a new license in their own name, and believe the cause of this prosecation to be their refusal to obey the orders of the marshal to close up the Acad- emy of Music on Sunday night. The case of Geo. Grooms has been continued to June'7th, at 2 p, m, A complaint has been filed againat Stephen Delor, charging him with assault and battery, in that he threw a bucket of elop on one Isaac Hesson. Several other complaints have been mntde, but are not for publication as yet. B A splendid addition to every fami- ly’s supplies is a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, | 1t never disappoints.
