The Knights of Labor will lose nothine in the end by tho withdrawal of any members who think more of their beer than of clear headedness, frugality and temperance in an organization of labor.

When the sensational 'disclosures in tho Bauson murder case first appeared in Tub Evcniko World a howl of derision went up from the gleaners who industriously follow Tub World's news harvester. But now Stain and Oromwbll havo been arraigned and bound over to tho Grand Jury. Attorney-General Baker says the evidenco is conclusive, and that "tho wholo Stato of Maine is indebted to Tub World." We sometimes have to wait a few days for vindication, but it is euro to arrive. MILD "BUGQESTIOHS," The weathercock Herald sagely observes : A Journal may suggest a nomination It goes beyond Its proper sphere when it tries violently to force one. And this is how our suddenly moderate con temporary ' suggosted " Mr. Ktoou, for Districi-Attornoy before some smart friend of the boodlers whispered in its ear that it was " favoring Thb World's candidates" Bconndrellira and Nicoll can't live In the same city; tnerefore not scoundrellsm but Nicoll must go. is that It 7 These political wire-pullers have said, In effect, "D nthe people. We will run Ntw Tork to suit ourselves." Well, we shall see what we shall see Now, gentlemen, that won't do; It won't do at all. If yea think yon are going to rnn tbe polities of New Tork to shield criminals you may as well be told now as after election that you are mightily mlitaken. That Is the only objection made to Nicoll. He Is too smart and he Is too honest. The politicians oant handle the city while he Is proseeutlng attorney. Tie Is not In with " the crowd," but Is In with the people, and thereforo he must be knifed. Now,, that Is lbs condition of affairs whlon we propose to keep before the public, and the Interesting ques tion to be decided Is, Do the people run this oily, or do the friends of lbs boodlers who are now In Sing Sing or Canada T There is nothing dogmatio or dictatorial in this it is simply " suggestive," of course. But it suggests the frozen truth, though the Herald has gone baok on itself. Both the Labor editors proved in the do bate last night that they can think on their feet as readily as at their desks. It doesn't hurt but rather helps a speech to have It made up of crisp paragraphs and terse " lead, ers," spoken instead of written. The voters of New York are in favor of the vigorous prosecution of rogues of all de grees. It rests with the Republican Con vention to give them a chance to soy so. Ex-Napoleon Ivxs says that " po one man has a right to a monopoly of the publio con. fldence." But a few shares in this sort of stock is a very desirable thing. It appears from a Boston f7rraU canvass that the exchange readers of the country prefer Tub Would to all other papors.

The feeling against the police runs high. It is stated that in many cases thoy wore unnecessarily brutal. Dublin, Oct, 34, Tho news of tho arrest of Wilfred Blunt caused the greatest exoito ment in this city. A feeling of intense grati fication provails among the Nationalists. Mr. Harrington expressed himself that he did not believe Mr. Blunt would be detained or proseouted, but, ho added, it will do good, and I should not wondor if wo hoard moro of it. Mr. William O'Brion was paying a visit to Mr. Dillon when the news of Mr. Blunt's ar rest arrived. Both gentlemen expressed great conoern for, the personal in convenience to which Mr. Blunt would be subjected, but could not conceal their gratification at tho turn events had taken. The interest was intensified whon it became- knqwn that tho telegraph lines be tween Fortumna and Woodford had been cut and tho service suspended for soveral hours. The greatest activity provallod at Dublin Castle, communications being constantly sont and received. London, Oct. 34. The Daily Knc$ says in reference to tbo arrost of Mr, Blunt : The conduct of tho Government was absolutely lawless, the meeting at Woodford having bcon called by the English Homo-Rulo As sociation." The Standard says " Sir Wilfrid Blunt has unintentionally dono good sorvice for the Government by showing English fomentors of disturbances in Ireland that they are to be treated oxaotly the same as native agitators.

KNIGHTS IN OPEN REVOLT. DISGRUNTLED DELEGATES TO THE MINNE AT0LI8 CONVENTION TALK SECESSION. They Accuse the Powderly Administration of Treachery and Misappropriation of Fund Members from Thirteen Ntatc In Open Itebelllon What Administration Men and Local Knlfbta Think of the Trouble. (srxctAL to Tnx XTZurno wonu.l PuiLADExrniA, Oct. 24. Now thnt tho Knights of Labor Convention is over, tho delegates who did not get what thoy wonted are beginning to issuo their declarations of iudepe'ndenco and general war on the Order. The first gun of any importance comes from Chicago, where thirty-five disgruntled delegates havo issued a circular which they propose to oirculate among tho Knights throughout the country. In brief it asserts that the general office has become a luxurious haunt for men whoso chief aim is to benefit themselves and is no longer tho Jerusalem of tho humble and hon est Knight. There has been for more than a year (beginning prior to the Richmond ses sion) a conspiracy for the purpo60 of hold ing the salaried positions, elective and ap Iiolntive, in and under the General Asscm )ly. This conspiracy has used the secret channels and the funds of tho order to manu facture sentiment for certain members and against qthers. Certain persons, sometimes called " general lecturers," " general organ, ize-s," " general instructors " and general many-other-tbings. havo boon paid extrava gant sums, both as wages and expenses, when their chief work was to fix " certain districts. District and local assemblies have been suspended or expollod and deprived of a voice in the General Assembly becauso thoy wero known as opponents to the polioy of the conspirators. Conspiracies have been hatched against dissenting members by tho aid of corrupt tools in tho District Assembly or local awiomblies, or both of snch members. The records of tbo general office have been fixed and doctored so as to rule out or admit, as the case may be. General Assembly rep resentatives. On the financial question tho circular says : Many thousands of dollars of the Order's funds have been Illegally expended frequently against the earnest protest of honest and law-abiding members. Extravagant hotel bills, contracted by the families of general officers, have been paid out of the Order's funds, as have family, laundry and bar bills. Funds have been donated and loaned to o fflcer and their families snd friends for their own fiersonal use. General officers, organlzrra and ecturers have not only been paid liberal salaries and allowed heavy expenses from the general treasury, but have charged additional sums to tho locals and districts. In conclusion tho circular says : The boycott has been used to Injure the Labor Sress, union establishments and the products of nights of Labor and union labor for the sole pur pose of "downing" worklngmcn and women who could not be used by the conspirators. War hus been waged by the administration ting against trades unions and trades districts. The motto of the ring haa been "Down with the trades districts; exterminate the trades unions." This In spite or our obligation "to extend a helping hand to all branches of honorable toll." Nearly every Important strike or lockout In whloh the general offloers Interfered was lost. As a result of this blundering, wishy-washy. Incompetent, stupidly arbitrary policy, the membership of the order haa decreased 81T.VM members In one year, In spite of the decrease of membership they hare Increased tho annual expenditures of the general om ncrs to half a million dollars. There was no Itemized account of the receipts and expendi tures Issued either quarterly, as bad formerly been the custom, or to the Qeneral Assembly, In the General Assembly arguments were met by bun combe, gag law was reduced to a system by the use of the previous question outrageous decisions rendered, appeals and protests Ignored, all for the pnrposo of covering up the rascality of thoso In power. The tight-barrel coopors in Milwaukoe and Chicago aro also talking very loudly about secession. Those men work in breweries and distilleries, and claim that the aotion of tho Oonvontion in incorporating a temperance clause in the new constitution is antago nistic to their business. If theBe men with, draw it will decimnto the order of nearly three thousand men. The Powderly mon in this city and strong administration men around headquarters say that this trouble was anticipated by them and that the order will be able to cope with emergencies as they arise. It was impossible to suit everybody, thoy say, end all legisla tion adopted was with a view to working the greatest good to the greatest numbor. A reportor for Tub Evkntno Would sought tho loading Knights of Labor this forenoon to ask them what they had to say about tho disgruntled secessionists and.the circular of the Provisional Committee at Chicago de nouncing tho present reVime of the Knights. Most of the Labor leaders deolined to be quoted until they had time to digest the cir cular and to hear from the Powderly men in Philadelphia. Many of the rank and file, however, avowed that tho aotion of the Gen eral (Assembly at Minneapolis had given great satisfaction to all who desire the welfare of tho order and that the ktakers had no real ground for complaint. They saw no reason for losing confidence in Pow derly or his ability to meet the accusations of his enemies. Paul Mayer, one of No. 49's delegates to tho General Assembly, said : " More good was accomplished than ever before, and the liberal aotion taken towards trades unions will overcome everv difficulty in tho way of harmony." James P. Arcniboid of tne 1'apcrnangere' Local Assembly, said: " There 1b no spilt in the order, nor is one llkoly to oocur. Pow derly is stronger than over, and deolared him self nobly, lie disavowed all connection with cliques and rings.

The Son of the Indiana Senator Spends a Night In at Police Cell. James P. Voorhees, son of Sonator Dan Voorhecs, of Indiana, the " tall sycamoro of the Wabash," has had a tasto of New York police law. On Friday night ho entored the Fifth street station-house, staggered to tho desk and said : " Sergeant, I nm unfit to care for myself and want a place to sloop of my nervousness until morning." The Sergeant saw that tho man hod been drinking heavily nnd that his nervous system was unstrung. His hands shook and his lips twitched, but, ho was well dressed nnd conversed and boro himself liko a man of respectability. When asked why ho did not go to his hotel, ho said: " I have not a cent in my pocket and cannot pay for a lodging at a hotel, and I am com pelled to apply to a station.houso for a place to sleep." Then he was recordod as follows: " James Voorhees, actor, thirty-two years old, born in tho United States, singlo, can read and writo." Tho son of tho woll-known United States Senator was escortod to a cell and locked up, the Sergeant entering a charge of intoxica tion against him. In the morning tho Ser geant asked young Voorhis how ho felt. " I feel much better, and I think I am nil right," was the reply. " I am thankful to you for your hospitality." Voorhees started for the door, but tho Ser geant informed him that ho would be com pelled to send him to court. Tho " Actor " did not express any great surprise, but it was easy to seo that ho felt his position keonly. At tho Essox Market Court he was dis charged. This morning a long interviow with young Voorhees was published in a morning paper, in which he makes an attack on President Cleveland, and claims to voice tho views of tho Indiana nomocracy against a second term. Ho also mildly apologizes for his party's pre dilections for Cleveland. Young Voorhees is in funds again and is baok at tho Hoffman House. nOW DID HE GET HIS WOUNDS ? Tho Pollco Doubtful About Michael En. right's .Htory of an Unknown Man. Michael Enright, who is employed at M. T. Driggs & Co.'s storage warehouse, at South and Jefferson strcots, and lives at 20 Henry street, started from homo last night to have a good time, and brought up at the Gouverneur Hospital about 2 o'clock this morning with a fractured skull and threo Knifo wounds, one of which may provo fatal. How the wounds were ob tained is a mystery, as tho stories told by Enright are conflicting and given with an ovident desiro to hide the assaillant. At about 1.80 o'clock this morning Enright staggered into the Madison Stroet Station and told tho Sergeant that he had been assaulted in his own hallway by a man whom he did not know and to whom he gave no provocation. The man was accompanied by a woman, he said. Blood was flowing from a wound in his head. His left hand was severely out, and the left leg of his trousers showed whero a knife hod entered. A third knife thrust in tho back penetratod one of his lungs. Soon after reaching the hospital Enright became unconsoious, and remained so until late this morning. Then he told Policeman Fitzgdrald a second story. Ho said that he was going down Henry street to wards home and saw four persons, two men and two women entering his houso. When he reached tho 'hallway one of the men who was coming downstairs assaulted him with out provocation. This story he adhered to for a while, but later told a different one, more resembling that given ot the station- nonso. Thehonso where he lives is a lodging houso for men only. 0. D. Mover, its man ager, says that no women are allowod there. JEnright lives in the middle flat. Lodgers on the same floor say that about the same time tho assault occurred thoy wero aroused by a scuffling in tho entry Immediately aftor they heard a woman say, "Don't, Mike. Oh, don't; please don't,'1 and thon came a crash, a scuule and a fall. When they started to find the cause of tho disturbance nothing was to bo seen save drops of blood on the stairs and throshold. Dr. Coleman, of the Gouverneur Hospital, says that the wounds may provo fatal. m m An Incident of Ilapld Transit. Nearly every downtown station on tho Third Avenue Elevated road was Jammed with amrry worklngmcn and girls who have to earn their liv ing from 1 to 7.80 this morning. No trains wero moving downtown und working people who had In prospect a heavy fine or loss of a day's pay for getting to business late were half distracted. The ticket-sellers were kept In Ignorance and sold tickets until waiting rooms and platforms were overloaded with people. The surface road had prepared for no such rush as was preolpltated upon It, and Its cars could not begin to hold the crowd eager to ride. When the elevated trains did begin to run the cars were so full of people that stops at uptown stations were merely for sake of form. The guards did not open the gates, and the swarm of waiting men and women on the platform wero helpless. There were thous ands of people lute to business this morning, and doubtless the aggregate time and loss of a day's work would buy coal for a great many families this winter. The explanation at the elevated road offices was, that an engine running on low steam got "stalled," and that It was an accident likely to happen at any time. Quintaro Und Nothing to Say. Joseph Quintaro, Cuban, clerk, employed by Messrs. Fernandez A Brother, Cuban merchants, whose New York office Is at 182 Front street, who was arrested on a charge of forging a check for $S,ooo, payable to B. It.
