should give his views in full of the

the country at large understand just
bow far that species of lawlessness is al
eegqnaled by the Knights of Labor,
In fthe Knight of Labor recognize it C
as one of their methods, now he re.
conciles each recognitlon by them,
with his protestation that the order is
one of law and order and opposed to tl
all methods of violence or other reme

the country. Mr. Powderly's honest il
views on the boycott will be extre. p

I that gentleman repudiates and denoun

The Rev. T. Da Witt.Talmage of the

I the erudite and venerable Charls A.
e Dana of the New York Sun. Mr.
I Dana is ene of the oldest newspaper
i men in America and knew whereof he
wrote when he penned the following
quite sarcastic equib :
e In reply to Talmage, who has been
'e making faces at the newspaper repor
e ters. Elitor Dana of the Sun says:
"r "The truth is that, instead of being the
, wretched creatures Brothller Tlmnage
represots them, the young ftllows
about newspaper offitces are an unus
ually hapilpy and lively lot. They like
their work and its excitement, and, as
e rule, they prefer it to any other that
c)uld be offered them. If they talk
about brain exhaustion, they are only
displaying a little pardonable vanity
y by causing it to be inferred that they
* are engaged in profound intellectual
labors, when, perhaps, they are really
expending no more brain force than is
at required to get up Brother Talmage's
sermons. Oh, no, Brother Talmage
or newspaper writers are not in a bad
be way for lack of sympathy, and Instead
, of being excused for their shorlcominLt
e they should be held up sharply to their
, duty by the public."
