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.

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.
