The siege is raised at k s t. The smoke of battle is slowly c'earing EWiy. Both sides oklm the victory, but for tbe pres ent it IB a dearly bought victory. The future only will show upon whioli banner victory will rightaously perch itself. A b the legal representative of the Gen eral Executive Board has shown such ex treme conservatism in ail that he has said and done lu the strike—lockout affair— we feel m duty bound to deal with it now ID an equally conservative manner It is bat honest to admit that au error was comoiitted m allowiog the employee in Geo. P. Idee kundry to strike, and ekiual'.y as hone-t for tbe inanufacturers to adm t that thur-i wae a great outrage committed when they locked out .h >u- sands of thoir innocent and trusty em ployes, for that which they were in no way respouslble for. The full amount of suf fering which hai been forced upon tlies? innocent ones will never be known iu this world. If the old ^a> log ‘‘that the ne- dy must look to the needy for support in ibis laud of plooty,’' uoeJed veriftcatiun we have it in this case. What a parody on American civilization; when the bard- worked and poorly-paid luve to divide their half loaf with their starving neigh bors, while the wealthy,with overflowing ooS.-r-t, stand aloof end say, poor crea tures »e feel sorry for you, but after sU the best thing you cm do is to give in and go to wo-k, and we will build mote banks to uold the wealth you create; we cai^’t make anything out of you when you don't work, when you stop work it makes bard times. A mo.-t signiflcmt cenfession! Of course, a majority of public opioion as far as it goes, has been with us ail througli this struggle, for u knows very well that o a t cause was just. Both aides had issued their ultimatum. It s-emed for a while that ueitlior aide woult recede from their position; but every day while these ooolenrliog forces stood crmfroirt^ug each other, only increased the then Vfry badly depressed state of, business. Bqt our collar manufactnrers cared nothing for all th is; they had entrenched them selves behind a set of cast iron resolu tions and would not concede one point, thougli the city was ruined. We did not then, ueither do we now, wii^ to rain anyoje; therefore, we said to our opponents, if you will concede nothing we will set you an example of msg- ani- mity, and concede all. In this we cl<im wc have not only won a noble victory by cnliatiug tbe whole public opinion in o favor,favor, b uu tt itt hass laidid thehe corner-ttoneorner-ttone b i ha la t e of a co-operative industrial system in Troy that will in the not very tar distant future convince all those opposed to ju--tlee and honor that we have achieve 1 a victoby unparalleled in the history of curcountry. The next morning following the settle ment the girls reported to their various foremen in the shops and laundries, and in quite a number of cases they were grossly inanlted Is this manly ? Is it even decent ? Will this place you in any better odor before the public ? One of the inaulters is an employer. Now gentle men just practice the golden rule in tbe fnture and you will never have any more trouble. GOULD AT IIL** OLD TRICKS. The New York World thinks that Jay Gould is at l.is old tricks again. He is now seeking to Lave the Texas and Pacific railroad so -‘reorganized” as to enable him to cause it to drop like a rich plum Into his hands to be siezed by the Mis souri Pacifle. Heury Clews, the eminent guubier, banker aud Christian, cautioned the stock huMers against the great wrecker aud tells them that their prop erty IS to be sacrificed for the benefit of the Missouri Pacific. Jay has another I that will bear watchmj arc straining every nerve to bag tbe Su preme Judgeship tuis fall, but the people are “onto\ their tittle game aud will thwart the designs of the conspirators. The Democratic party must divorce itself from iU unholy aUiance with Che railroad monopoly or go to the wail. Now that the employes of the stove foundries have gone to work, as well as the ooifar and shirt employes, would It not be a good time to start a co-operative collar shop and stove foundry and have om people buy the collars and stoves made by us. It is tbe only way to solve the labor problem. Now is the time to co-3pera‘e. woodsy . S$6-WASHBURN FL0UR-S6 At Ambrose Kelly’s, 299 River Street, cor. Fulton A OONDBNSED HISTORY OF OUR GRE.AT LEADER. Ta-ience V. Powderly is not yet middle-aged mau, but he has been UilUUlC-BgOU Uittu, uui uv •tma » practical Uborer and mechanic fer nearly twenty-tive years cf bis life. He wbh born of Iris'j parents, iu C.itbondalc, Pa., January-24tU, 1949. Afler attend ing school for six years, he went to work, at the age of tliirteeu, as a awituh-tender for live Delaware & Hudson Canal Com pany. At seventp-.-n he entered the ma. ohine shop of ti e company, which he left in 1869 to find - mployment in tbe shops of the Delaw-ire, Lackawauna 4 Wesjem Railroad Company at Scrautun. Working at the Jaihe and forge during the day, aud over the draughtlng-lioard ID the eveuiu^, he msde hiim-elf a m-ister-mechauic, so that he mii^ht open a ghop for himself whenever opportuuily should offer. In 1870, Mr. Powderly joined the Maebiniate’ and Blacksmiths’ National Union, of which he was soon e'ected presiden': and about the time he began the p ractital study of the labor problem. ‘-With the introduction of labor-saving machinery,’’ he says, “tbe trade was all cut up. so that a who bad served au apprenticeship of five yeats might be brought into competition with a machine run by a boy, sod the boy would do the most and the best work The mschioist wssbeingbrought down to the level of the day laborer.\ Mr. Powderly'a idea WkS, as he it. to uigcily the lalwrer. He believed that no orgai izition cou'd thrive until it included every class of laboring men; but ihc luachioists did not at first take kiufily to thi-i propositiou. lu Novem ber, 1874, he was taken by a friend to a meeting of a local assembly of tbe Knights of Labor, then a secret organiza- licn. Here were gathered men of all trades and crafts; and Mr. Powderly, finding it bis ideal ot a labor orgamza- joined and entered heartily into its plans, Be induced tbe Machin ists'and Blacksmiths’ Union lo g o over in a body to the Knights, and (bus ioo&l assembly No. 222 was organized in No vember, 1876. Half a dozen or more local assemblies hai Ing been formed in Lackawanna county, a district assembly was organized, with Mr. PowJerly as secretary—a position which he has ever since retained from choice. The order grew rapidly, West as well a; East, and in January, 1878, the first General Assembly of the Knights of Labor was held at Reading, Pa. A con stitution was adoptea, and Uriah S. Stephens, who foundsd Che Order in 1869, was chosen General Master Work man. The following year, at the con vention Ueld iu S t Louis, Mr. Stephens was re elected, and Mr. Powderly chosen to tbe second pos'tiun of Generai Worthy Foreman, in 1879, at Chicago, upon the tesigaatiou of Mr. Stephens, Mr. Powderly w.s chosid General Maste - Workman; and he has been re-elected to that ^ s itio n each succeediug year, up to the present time. During these years he has given jiis entire atteution to the lab<» caur-e, livu^ on the modest salary ot $1,500 paidbimby tbe Order of Knights. He has virtually recognized the Order. By effectively urging the abolition of oaths and removal of aeorecy, he at once placed it on a basis of popu'ar confidence; aud the conduct of the vast and powerful body under his control during the trying difficulties of the post few months has secured it a high pkee in the sympa'hy id esteem of the commnnity. In person General Master Powderly is of medium height, of somewhat soboiarlv and whoOy unagBtesaive .appearance. His speech is ready, dear, jiuJogmatic, and pointed with Irish wih Altbongh lethiug of a reader, and a concite for cible writer. Mr. Powderly has gained his equipment for his special work through personal expeneuee and inquiry among tbe workiug people, rather than through books or communication with tUeoriatB. He has uever travelled abroad, but has under consideration the offer of a com- iou from a newspaper syndicate to visit Europe snd write, from his point of view, of the condition of the Uboiiug there. Mr. Powderly was mar ried in 1872, but he has n.> childien liv ing,—Labor Reformer. TO 6\uk PATRONS.

A M l DSILL S SERMON. “What profit a man if he gains the whole worlu aud loses nis own aoul?\ This is an old au theological conundrum which I find in the scriptute.s. It la an ancient biblical riddle which has bad a very long and a very successful run, priucipally I suppose because mec have always iieen so absorbed in the imrsnit of gain that they have never bothered their heads trying to solve any problem concerning the tulure cf their souls. Nor will I, but to me this scriptural conun drum suggest another conundrum relat ing solely to tbe present state of existence Let us leave the soul business out of the question aud put it in this way. What profit a man it he gams the whole woild when he gets but bis board aud olothes?” Vanderbilt had many miliions, These millions represented the sufferings of thousands of his fellow creatures and must be weighed m tbe balance agsiost an enormons weight of human misery. ITie chief business of his life was tbe manufacture of paupers, tramps and suicides, and bis sole reward for the work of his life was just what he con sumed while be lived and not a particle more. Now what profit a man if he gains the whole world when begets but his board and clothes? Why will men j^ot and scheme to crush tiielr feiiow men for such a miserable price. W h y ' are all of these vtllianons and corrupt forces !it work In a world like Hus, to ob tain nehes, wiien there i» enough for a] and no one c'>n take a tithe of it whe they are leaving. People call it human nsture and still have the hardihood to a-^ert that man is a superior animil. If it is hnman nature for men to prey upon each other as they do then let me say with Madame De Stael that the more I know about men the more I admire dogs. But kick out the cyni*. calm t?ie rad'cal snd take a f lir dispassionate view of the quest!' n. Man was never intended for the blood-suckmg leech that he ha« de generated into The roost ucnntii’-al thing that a man can do is to prev upon his fe'Iow men. It rstural only, as a natural result of bad government, and the unjust in'tusfrial system that we live under. Under the present competitive system every man stinds alone, and no man's fortune is safe. There is no in surance against poverty. Vaode>-bfU’8 milllon-i could have melted from his grasp in a few mouths, leaving him a beggar, and with the great evJl continu ally staring them in tbe face generation after generation is brought into the world and taught from infancy that man's beat friend is money, aud to get money honestly, if posaiole, but to get money. What could be the result of such teach lags in the midst of their practice but worship of mammOQ and the cor ruption of man. Brutality is the result— resulting from the instinct of seif-preser- vatioB. and brutality will always predomi- amoDg men while they are forced to compete tor life and a system pre vails under which no man is safe. Life iu rebel prisons during the late war Ulus .rates this clearly enoagb. Within the stockade at Audersonviiie prison union soldiers plundered and murdered each other for food and clothing. This may seem tar fetched, but it's truth. History don't say so but there ore a good many things that history don't say. Tbe stockade at Andersoovtlie prison, during the winter It was ocenpied, was fall of famished freezing men, and they were desperate men and the strong plundered weak, and if force was necessary force was used and men were killed, but they were sure of sufficient food, clothing and fuel to sustain life they would have lived contented enough and kindness would have prevailed among them instead of brutality. Brutality therefore that is legalized, kid-gloved brutality, seems to be tbe price of se- jrity under the present system, but its a fiat failure, for no man is safe, he may plunder, he may murder, or starve his fellow men to-day to acquire riches, and to-morrow he may be a beggar, for there is no insurance against poverty nor cau there be while men stand alone. Under a better order of things which could be created if men would combine the true principles of co-operation, poverty would be unknow, brutal salflsh- wouid not predominate as it does, a kind of Pentecostal communism would grow a nd flourish among the peo ple, spreading a better and a more Chris tian influence amoog the sons of men, than the religion of tbe day ever did. It is n ot a logical sequence, that the wealth of the world should increa«e m spite of conflagrations, strikes, lock-outa, and great loasee generally, at the rate of three per cent per annum, while poverty is in- creasiug among the people at tbe rate of u x ! The fact does not reconcile itself to mathematical calculation; that a man like Yanuerbilt, who was always dabbed by bis father as a fool should be able to ess hlmaelf by his own efforts in a single life time, of wealth enough to sup port 120,000 families m comfort all thelr Uves. When suoh a feat can be accom plished by an ordinary man, it is a snffi- eient proof that there must be something ndicady wrong m the system under which it is accomplis'ied. Tbe great evil under the present system assumes the form of oolossal fortunes like Yander- bilt'a, or the concentration of wealth m the hsnds of a few: and the great remedy must lie iu a correct principle of redistri bution which will take this wealth out ot the hands of the few ami place it in the hands of the many who created it, and to whom the great bulk of it lightfully beViug-. The possession of wealth is not the price of security, wlicu there is insurance sgaiu-t poyertv, aud to ihe wise, half in security is much more preferable to the whole in eon-itaiit dan ger, while its ixissession, even m the greatest quantity, nSords Its hoideia after all but very little comparatively. William H. Vanderbilt may, as some iieo- ple say, have been ilh.’eraie: h« may have been as his father said a fool, b u t he preached the most powerful sermon that ever was lueached in his day, wLeu he said 1 am a very rich man, but all that I get in this world is my board and clothes. That saying of Vanderbilt’s should be tm- blazoned over every altar in every church in the land, in every school house and iu every public place where people assemble, to teach the sons of men that they might as well lie men as do^s, for their wugea are tl-e same, board and cloihea for life, no moic no less, and afier death a meal for the maggots. Bru'aiity and me..n- ne»o may trample honor and principle iu the dust, bu’ it don'i pay anybody. SHEPaHBAim. THE PRODIGAL CHILDREN. The prodigal son returned to the home of bis childhood at noonday and ap- proscUed without fear or trembliug. Hie gray-haired f,.tUer tan to meet him, and fell upon his neck weeping with joy. The people flocked lo him in great numbers, and with mamfesiBtions of delight, bade him welcome to his home. The fatted call w 8 killed and there was great feast ing and re|oidng, for the erring one had returne*!. The prodigal daughter returned to the C herer childhoodhildhood utnder home of h c u the friendly cover of night. She cam-: humble and repentenl as tbe i-inner should come to beg forgivenets. Weak and trembling, with a great fear tugging at her heart, she crawled to tbe doorstep and timidly knocked. Her father arose an ! finding her there became filled with a great rage, and drove her with curses from his door. She crawled out a little way into the night, aud fell by the wayside sobbing herself to sleep. And when morning came the people who had welcomed her erring brother found her there, and m o c k ^ a u d jeered at her. the women peltcAier with mud and the men filled with virtuous indignation, drove her to the gates of the city to stone her to death, while the women applauded aud urged them o v But on being airived a man stood out from among the ‘hrong saying, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, aud filled with tbe knowledge of their owngulUtbe shame-faced cowardly hypocrites turned away and left the poor erring one alone in her misery. She wa.s weak and yielding, and the tempter sought ber out. He waa strong to reeist, vvt he sought temptatioo. He was taken in and she was cast out, and the fiend of iaconsistency laughed trium- piiantly in tbe saddened foce of the God of justice. r-HoMorlbeiortne CLARION. tiETSat. E ditor C i . ebion ;—About April 1st the ageut of a Fulton street sewing machine office promieed tbe macblniets in his em ploy that if they would wait cnttl Juae 1 they could quit at 5 o’clock on Satur days . The men decided to wait until tbe stated time, tbe first of June; the foreman told the men that the time bad arrived and gave in the men's time so that they could be paid off by 5 o’clock. When the hour arrived the men quit work. The agent went into the shop and wasted to know fiom the foreman why tbe men had stopped work He said he wa* told that it was according to the agreement. The agent tried to get ont of it b y saying that he never told tbe men anything of the kind, and walked out of.tbe shop. The men waited around until the clock atruck six, and then some thing came in that wears a silk hat. some folkscallit a bookkeeper, and otheis think that it is something that was blown in when tbe door was open, a n i he told tbe foreman that the money wa« ready for tbe men, something that was never done before. The bookkeeper always paid the men off at 5 o’clock or shortly after. What were these men kept wait ing for? Only for mere spite, aud nothing else, aud becanse this silk hat Ls not in love with the men because they are K. of L. an 1 stand up for their rights and justice. A knioht . The anxiety that some people profess that tbe Kuighte of Labor should keep out of politica is .open to suspicion, the laws have been framed to Injuriojsly effect labor how are they to be repealed or amended save by political action ? The sooner the Knights influence politics tbe earlier will they receive proper recogni tion from our rnlers. It is tbe only con- Btitntional method open to them.—Chat ham Banner.

In my rambles around tue city I have seen, with sorrow, tiiat drink la the cuise of some of our Knights. While the principles of the otder does not prohibit a member from taking a glass or so they do pro’jibit a member from becom ing a druukard. Now I hold that drink is a curse to every community: about two-thirds of the crimes committe 1 can be directly traced to drink. We bave proof of this tact, almost every day of our lives. We need only visit out police courts to be. come satisfied upon fiat point We have only to visit the homes of mmy of our hard working men to find the cu'se of drink visible on every hand. The cause for this is divers, soa,e driuk to drown trouble. Will it do so ? For a time, yes; after the effects of tbe debauch has passed away, has the trouble passed away also ? No; they remain and more with them, an aching head aud sour stomach. Otheis drink in order to be social,they meet an old fri nd, end the first thing in order is au invite to drink or send out the “growler,” aud soon they become mellow, and often so much so that they wake up in th station boose; and at court it is ten days or tea dollars. Effect : pockels depleted of batd-earned money ; part to tbe rumaeller and part to pay fines, provided some thief does not forstali the justice and leave the parties to board free for .ten days at the expense of the conmy. This all wrong, it leavts a train of evils behind that cannot be en tirely eradicated. The man who drinks to drown trouble make a very great mis take, he does not accomplish this ecd, he makes himself more miserable and un- happy than be was bctoie he adopied ihat metnod of cute. Tbe man who drinks to be social make a mistake by be coming involved with his friend in the meshes of the law. Pivery workingmen ahould lause and look carefully around him before allowing himself to bec-..iue a victim of this curse. It gives the em ployers every opportunity to siy : If we give these men tbe raise they ask the dif ference between what they ask and what they get will not reach their families, but go to swell the saloon keepers' pockets. It gives unscrupulous emplojera the opportunity to keep the workingmen un- uer their heel. They fnrursh a quart ot beer at the proper moment, and ace de clared fine fellows and generous bosses; they keep up this fine opinion of their men by keeping them partly filled up all tbe time to serve 'he ends of low wsges.^ Bays one, I would rather work for Mr So and So, than I would for that old miser Brown or Smith, as the case may be. E ffect: Tue men go home, and for some trifling cause, whip their hard working wives, and possibly throw their families out of the bouse . and is proba bly seat to the penitentiary for six montha o t nine months for abuse of their families. It behoovea every workingman to shun strong drink. “Leok not upon the wine when it is red, for in the end It bitetb like a serpent and etingeth like an adder.\ Boycott rum and Che curse will leave you to pursue tbe jiaths of life untrauimeled from its dessoiating lofiuencee. Your wives and children wUl bless you and hold your memory sacred after you have been called from the busy scenes of life to your eternal rest. Knights look to it that you do not foil on this question, the eyes of the world are upon you, and they criticise every act done by you. Tbe tongue is a little member, but able to do mere harm than all tbe other members of the body together. A maA when in bis cups says and does many things that he, in bis rational moments, would give much to undo; therefore, shnu drink and make younelre an ornament to the order, an honorable citizen, aod above all have the blessiogs of year families and friends.
