The London Time praises Mr. (find- i
stone's orutnric.il effort, but says: "What i
fatal vin's imi'-t a cause be smitten with !
for which cvci Mr. Gladstone's energy wins
bo littli' cordiality." The Times adds it
would be grossly unfair to assume th.it the
house will iiui-ent to a second readin.
The Paiiy News says it is dilHcult to fore
cast the fate of the scheme, or oven to say
how it will fare in its progress through tho
house. Mr. Tivvelynn's attitude was m.ire
serious than the conservatives and Orange
opposition combined, and in nil probability
indicates the stand which Messrs. Hurting
ton. Chamberlain and Goschen will take.
The Telegraph says of the speech that ns
n dialectical display it was admirable, but
the orator proposed the most revolution
ary step ever proposed to parliament.

AN ADDRKSS FROM TIM". KNIGHTS.
Mlrri by Aentlille 101, OH ntul 17 to
tliu Worltliigmcii affile World.
St. Locis. April C The joint execittlvo
board of assemblies 101, 03 and 17 of tho
Knights of Labor this afternoon issued the
!ollow ing nddross:
To the Workingtnen of tho World
Tricnds and Profilers: Henr us, for wo
plead for our rights. Men of equity, look
apon us, for wo strugglo against giants of
nrong. Mnd with tho frenzy of prido and
iclf adulation, begotten ns it is of tho suc
cess of outrngo and infamy, thcro stands
before us a giant of aggregated nnd incor
porated wealth, every dollar of which is
built upon blood, injustice nnd outrage.
That giant of corporato wealth has cen
tralized its power in nnd is impersonated
by an eager fiend who gloats as ho grinds
the life out of his fellow men nnd grimaces
ind dances ns they writhe upon his instru
ments of torture. " 01 ye workingtnen of
Ameiicn, who love your liberty and your
native land, yo great creators of wealth,
who stand as'the foundation of all nation
il good, look upon your brothers to-dny.
Gould, the giant lie'nd; Gould tho money
monarch, is dancing, as he cloims, over tho
jravo of our order over the ruin of our
homcf and blight of our lives. Heforo him
the world has smiled in bounty, but his
ivnko is the graveyard of hopes, the cyclouo
path of devastation nnd death. Our
strong arms havo grown weary in
building the tower of strength, nnd
yet ho bills us build on or die.
Our young lives have grown gray too soon
beneath tho strain of our unrequited, con
stant toil. Our loved ones nt homo nro
hollow-cheeked nnd pale with long and
weary waiting for better days to come.
Nay. more than this, tho graveyards are
hiding his victims from longing eyes.
Hrother workmen, this monster fiend has
compelled some of us to toil in cold and
rain for five and thirty cents a day. Others
have boon compelled to yield their time to
him for seventeen and thirty-six weary
hours for tho pittance of nine hours' pay.
Others who lunu dared to assort thetrman
liood anil rebel against his tyranny aro
black-listed and boycotted all over tho
land, lie has made solemn compacts with
the highest authority in our order nnd then
has basely refused to fulfill his pledge. Ho
lives under nnd enjoys all the benefits of a
republican form of government, and yot
advocates nnd perpetuates the most de
mising form of white slavery. He robs tho
rich nnd poor, high and low, with ruthless
hands, nnd then appeals to corrupt and
purchased courts to helphim tnke our little
homes t way. Ho breaks our limbs and
maims our bodies, nnd then demands
that we shall release him from ovory
claim for damages or black-listed forever.
He goes to our grocers and persuades them
not to give us credit, because wo refuso to
be ground in his human mill. Ho turns
upon us hordes of lawless thugs, who shoot
among our wives and children with deadly
intent and then he howls for government
help when he gets his pay in coin aliko.
Follow workmen, Gould must bo over
thrown. His giant power must bo broken,
or you and 1 must bo slaves forever. Tho
Knights of Libor alono have dated to bo a
David to thisGoliah. Thobattlo is not for
to-dav; tho battle is not for to-morrow;
but for the trooping generations in coining
nges of tho world; for our children nnd our
children's children. It is thegreat question
of tho age: shall we, in coming ages, bo a
nation of slaves? Tho question must bo
decided now. Tho chninsnrealready forged
that aro to bind us. Shall wo nwait
until they aro rivited upon our limbs?
Nny, God forbid. Workmen of tho world,
marshal yourselves upon tho battle-field.
Workmen of every trade and clime, on to
tlie fray. Gould and his monopolies must
go'down, or your children must be slaves.
Think of tho lit tie olive plants nround your
hearthstones that will bo blighted by its
curse. Think of the littlo nome he is seek
ing to rob ou of. Think of tho wife from
whoso eyes ho has wrung floods of tears
nnd from whoso heart ho has tortured
drops of blood. Who can look calmly
upon his perfidy, his outrngo and his crime?
for ho has sought to incito felony among
our rank nnd file; ho has bought tho per
fidy oT vile men to entrap tho unwary that
ho might stain our fnir namo and gloat
over your misfortunes. Onco for all, fellow-workmen,
arouse. Let every hand
that toils bo lifted to heaven and swear by
Him that iiveth foroverthat theso outrages
must cense. Lot every heart and brow bo
turned toward our common too nnd let no
man grow weary until, liko Goliah, our
giant is dead at our loot.

THAT MONUMENT TO GRANT.
.Subscriptions of Hie New Voilicri l'oiv
and I'ar ltetween.
Now York special: Subscriptions to tho
Grant monument fund havo been so few
and far between ns to discourago Secrotary
Greener, who has boon tho chief workor in
tho cause, and has boon tho moans of rais
ing tho larger part of tho fund on hand.
Ho said to-dny: "It Is truo that money is
coming in slowly at this time, slower than
at any timo sinco tho movoniout was in
augurated. I can only account for this on
tho ground that peoplohavoso miiny other
things to think of at prosont that tho
monument hns been lost sight of for timo
being. After awhile nowentliusinsm will bo
aroused and contributions como foward as
nt tho start."
"What is tho total sum collected so far?"
"Ono hundred and twenty thousand two
hundred and twentv-sixdollarsuud twenty
two cents," snid Secrotary Greenor, "and I
nm sorry I can't say it is halt a million."
"What is tho committeo doing towards
increasing tho subscriptions?"
Secretary Greenor shook his bond in a
mournful way and said: "Judging from tho
amounts thoy havo handed in thoy do not
scorn to bo making much houdway."
It could bo inferred from the secrotnry's
looks that thoso distinguished gontlomon
wore making littlo or no efforts wliatevorto
help build tin tho fund, tho majority being
satisfied with tholrown contributions. Tho
present executive committee consists of
eleven mouthers, of which six aro editors of
prominent New York journals. No plan as
yet hns been agreed upon for tho simple
reason tho monoy required to build it has
not been subscribed. It is conceded that
$120,000 will build a suitublo monument
for General Grunt, ami many aro in favor
of using tho monoy already on hand for
that purpose.

New York dispatch: In an interview with
Jay Gould which tho Tribune publishes,
Gould, referring to an interview between
himself and Powderly, quotes the hitter ns
saying of District No. 101 Knights of
Lnbor:
"They nro outlaws. Thoy are ono of tho
worst set of men I ever saw. When 1 was
out there among them, I wns really afraid
for my life. They havo broken the laws of
the order. They have begun the str.ke
without authority, ami to-morrow 1 intend
to issue a circular righting myself and
placing those men in their true light."
"What w ill be the outcome of the south
western strikes?" inquired the Tribuno re
porter. "They will breakdown through their own
weight. Thesoorganizatious, through their
boycotts and their strikes, will niako them
selves so unpopular that public opinion
will no longer support them, and their
power will bo gone."
Pub. Doc. Distributors.
Senator Gorman has introduced a rosolu
tion calling upon tho secretary of tho inter

each person employed in receiving, folding
and distributingptiblirdocittnents, together
with their compensation and all othei ex
penditure made on that account for fiscal
years 18811, 1884 and 1885. It Is raid that
quite a bureau has grown up gradually in
tho interior dcpnrlmciit in charge of tho
public documents, nnd that a number of
employes receive a compensation far in ex
cess of the character of servico rendered.
It is thought the whole work could bo dono

of tho lightness and groat strength of

tho wood and forms a perfect arcli,
this groatly stronghens and stillonH
thu axle, and causes thu wheels to
run plumb and prevent any strain ou
tho spokes and hubs. Art'i; York Mail

Tho Merit ot Lord Jiucon.
It would heap too much honor upon
Lord Bacon should he prove to bu thu
author of thu .Shakespeare plays. Dut
such an oxtra award would carry oul
tho scriptural "To him that hath shall
bo given," while from such n poor
deer-stalker as William Shakespoaro
shall bo taken away what littlo ho
scorned to have.
But Bacon evou if ho was n dramat
ist did more as a philosopher than as
n dramatist, for his philosophy has
helped to make a great world while
tho plays have helped to make only a
great stage. And yot tho real truth is
that no one man composed either tho
Baconian philosophy or the Shakospor
inn plays. Thoy were both tho slowcoin
ing results of a long past. In Bacon
and Shakespear tho philosophy and
tho drama reached a final climax nnd
bocamo ready for a largo sorvieo. Tho
plays aro found far back of Shako
snearo and tho philosophy far back of
Bacon.
Bacon's merit lios iu tho fact thai
ho culhl tho attention of scholars ami
thinkers to tho value of earth and mate
rial sciences; and urged them to gather
up terrestrial data Instead of truus
cendoutnl data nnd instead of seeking
dolinitious of 'mind," 'soul,"
"angel," "will," fate," "man,"
"horse" and "eternity," thoso thinking
loadors should gather up all informa
tion possible about tho soils, grains,
winds, rains, instruments, nmuhinos,
arts, nnd appliances of society, nnd
thon draw conclusions that would
coinpol a general advance. Opnn nny
of tho grout books of tho old world
and thcro Is an amazing omission of
tho domestic arts and sciences and n
wonderful attention to tilings moral,
imaginary, fanciful, romantic, and
fantastic. Angels, imps, nymphs,
large and small deities, dwarfs, giants
and ghosts are born out of tho fertilo
huian:i fancy as sparks riso from a
shaken lire, but in these thousands of
years no thinking mind touches a plow
or reaping knife or any implement to
make it do more good and with less
labor. Tho ground is plowed with a
crooko.l stick, tho harvest is cut with
a case-knife; and while women and
children aro reaping, and thrashing
the one-third crop, the ton thousand
birds eat up a fortli part of tho ripo
grain and another fourth part is taken
by the tax-farmers who scour tho
country liko jackals at night on a bat
tlefield. Hence great famines and
diseaesseamo and swept away millions.
I lie so-called thinking men were too
busy in tho region of abstraction and
fancy to admit of their bestowing any
attention upon the study of harvest
tields, production, implements, disoaso
ami health.
Had not Homo gono down under her
military madness and the vices that
resulted from her conquests, Lord
Bacon would perhaps have been
robbou of his laurels nnd mado im
possible by the sons of Virgil and Pli
ny. Homo had begun to study the de
velopment of material things and was
busy at great wagon-roads, aqueducts,
drains and general improvements.
Ciesar had begun to invito men of sci
ence to come to Homo to reside. Ho
planned libraries for all tho largo
towns; ho was planning a draining and'
tilling of tlie Pontine marshes; ho hail
forbidden the young men of rank to
riilo in litters carried by slaves; ho
had stopped the importing of luxuries;
ho had set tlto example of plain living
and plain dress. Tlie Latin mind had
gotten wholly away from tho transcon
dentiil regions and had lied from a
million deities to almost uoueatall. Iu
tho (Jeorgics of Virgil wo seo tho now
thought and life that wcro passing in
to the plow, tho harrow, the soil, tho
orchard and the bee-hive, wliilo in
Pliny we note ti study of naturo that
would do credit now to a Watt or a
Franklin or an Kdison.
All things indicated an era of mato
rial advance. But tins awakening
came too Into. Homo was a sick man
whoso constitution was gone. Reason
ciiine too late, and going into a rapid
dissolution, dissolute Komo handed
over her begun sciences and inventions
to the care of the Sixteenth Century
in which Bacon was to como. Long
wtis tho interval botween Virgil, Pliny
and Lord Bacon. It was tilled in chief
ly by tho a Hairs of religion and tho
lofty decorations of religion,
Christianity did not make tho Dark
Ages. Thoy were manufactured in
tho daws which ruined the Pagan splen
dor; nnd Christianity had to accept of
ti wreck of her inheritance Goth,
Vendal and overy kind of wild and
forlorn creature wero to bo found in
the ostato that missed into tlto hands
of Constantino. Tlto mysterious Druids
wero on ono bonier, the heatlion on
another, and tho Norsemen wore pass
ing down through tho centre. Tho
Christianity did not know anything ex
cept the theology; and thus tho human
mind was turned toward the study of
Cod and tiio house of Cod. Out of tho
lornier camu theological studios, out
of tlie latter oatuo tho lino arts. As
for the domestic and useful arts thoy
had no friends for twelvo hundred,
years.
Under tho impulso given by Lord
Biion, mankind began to let tho
angels alono long enough to admit of
a look at the plow, tho hoo, tho orch
ard, tho field. This look was repeated,
until now implements and inventions
began to appear. Tho steani-englno
and railway, the steamship, reaping
muehino, have appeared on tho nrotuv
of man, and while tho unguis nro not
harmed anv by this philosophic neg
lect, tho millions not yet angols havo
profited much by tho transfor of
thought from things in heaven to
things on earth. Hotivou and earth
will bo equal partners in tho philoso
phy of, the future. David Swing, in

Oil' on a Tour.
"Hi! hi!" yelled a boy in an alloy off
Clill'onl street yesterday.
A second boy, who stood on tho
crosswalk, meandered down and nqk
ed what was wanted.
'Put your oyo to this knot-holo ntul

"Oh, yes."
