ttlfe fullest liberty of speeeh and
actions of individuals not
violative of the rights of
other individuals, we shall endeav
or to take such a position in the
great issues between Capital and
Labor, and the Temperance
cause a<> shall be just to all.
I Capital and Labor are de
pendent one upon the other,
and without the one the other could
not exist, and instead of being an
tagonistic to each other should be
brought into close and friendly re
lationship as the interests of both
require; and in the discussion of
that problem we shall endeavor to
show that the welfare of the labor
ing people as well as the capitalists
demands such concessions on both
sides as will bring contentment and
prosperity to the whoie people.
Calm discussions of these vital ques
lions, and not abuse, for.ie or intol
erance, will adjust and settle them
in such a manner as to bring about
peace and a genen.l feeling of se
em it v, that can tint he beneficial
and tend largely to aid in the eleva
tion of the masses to that position of
contentment so much desired as the
reward of faithful labor and indus
try.
KNIGHTS KNOCK DOWN THE
HARRIER.
The convention of Knights of
Labor that has been in session in
Richmond recently and which ad
journed on Wednesday last was a
most remarkable body ot men and
being the representatives of per
haps the most powerful organiza
tion of men in this counrry bound
together for their individual inter
ests <m well defined principles their
actions are entitled to great con
sideration because they h *ve the
power of carrying into effect most
of their declarations. Their resolu
tions have in the main been wise,
and reasonable.
The most important act of the
convention was the declaration that
Negro apprentices should be ad
mitted in the work
81. ops and factories of the country.
When we consider that up to the
present time the Negro vas ex
eluded from the workshops and
denied the opportunity ot acquiring
a trade because of the prejudices ot
ihe white workmen themselves the
importance of the resolution can be
fully realized. I bis p ejudice was
not confined to any section but ex
isted mn’th and south. In the
south some of the best mechanics
are colored men but they are almost
exclusively carpenters and brick
masons, and none are to he found
in the machine shops and factories.
This hold act of the Knight of Labor
emancipates themselves from per
haps one rtf the greatest obstacles
to success —namely the narrow
mi ded prejudice which have he e
tofore dwarfed their minds—as Woll
as it m dees friends ot a class of
people as powerful as themselves.
It the Knights he wise and do nOi
frlter in their demands for even
handed justice to all, thousands and
thousands will come to tin ir rescue
pos-ihly t( such an extent as to
cause the disin egraiioii ot th • two
great political par ies.
The resoluton ag inst convict
labor as competing wuh and conse
quently degrading tree labor and
preventing the honest laborer from
receiving the just reward and coin
pensation for his labor is just, and
should engage the careful attention
of legislate!s everywhere, until the
evil complained of he eradicated.
We cannot however endorse the
“boycott” system, and doubt the
expediency of the resolution order
ing the Same. It may be that the
principle will some day turn to
i plague its promoters. In our coun
try every man is intit'ed to ihe ful-
I lest feedom ot thought and action
since lie does not intrude oil tile
natural or legal rights of others,
| and the Knights have not shown
that any ot their rights as men have
been invaded by the hovcotted
parties. Invade the well established
| principle of freedom in A meric t by
I endeavoring to suppres- the free
dom of the press or the tight of a
man to manage his business a 4
seems best to him in cons jrmity
with the law, either by legislation,
foice or the “boycott,” and danger
wdl threaten our whole form of
govenment that may end in the
destruction of the boasted principles
upon which the Republic was
founded.

/The convention was a brainy rnej
and its acts will attract universal
attention, as they are in the whole
with but few exceptions, wise, ju
dicious and conservative.
THE COLORED FAIR AT

industry may be enter- d.
There will be races every

of base ball each day and every
city and town in the state is asked
to tend a club, and the Colored

The Fair will be opened by Bish
op If. M. Turner in one ot his
masterly orations, aided by Rev.
WAT'. White and ,J - W. Lv< n=, Esq.
Arrangements are being made
with all the railroads for reduced

President of the Association from

This enterprise will no doubt lie
a success if energy and pluck can
make it so. We hope the commit

Fair, find we trust that the efforts
of the Association will meet with a
generous riayonse from all sections

TH& SABINE PASS CALAM
\ ITY.
The terrible Sabine
Pass by which tile
destroyed is awful to^contemplate.
On the nig t of the instant a
hurricane swept/over the gulf with
frightful velocity driving tin
before' it which swept
through the town with fearful effect
Not a dozen houses have been left
standing and it is estimated that
some two hundred lives were lost
and many bodies have not yet been
found. The dead bodies of men
and women were picked up miles
away from the town where they
had been swept by the tidal wave.
There is much suffering among
the survivors of the releutlessjstorni,
and assistance has been asked in
this their tune cd sore distress.
Savannah has never f iled to res
pond to tne eri ‘s of suffering hu
manity, and ■ ‘if a move is m de by
the proper paltles a ready its ouse
will no douse be made by our
people. •* *
Wigoins the false prophet has
received , a certificate ot honorary
membership of the “Saint Ananias
Club,” of Topeka. Kansas. The
seal is surrounded with the name of
the club and in the center is a
picture of the instrument known as
the l\re This recognition ot the
professor ought to be very gratify
ing to his vanity, and it is to be
hoped that he will uo*v retire on
his well earned compliment tender
ed him by the Topeka Club.
The Tribune is owned and con
trolled by colored men exclusively.
It has a complete newspaper and
job printing outfit, and it has come
to stay and its publishers will put
forth all their energies to make it
