tiie causes is tlint we have allowed thill)
tc lie done under tin- knights of labor, for
which the organization was in no way
responsible. I ask or our liielnliers io keep
a .jealous eye upon the di ings of labor men
w'lio never labor and wiitn they eliurge
anything to our order in your locality, set
the sea! of your condemnation at once by
denying it. If the ptiper criticises the
knights of labor or its officers, do not boy
cott. and if you have any such! boycotts on,
remove them. A journal not
long since made some uncom
plimentary allusions to the general
master workman of the Knights of'Labor.
and at the next meeting of the nearest
assembly a motion was passed to boycott
the paper; not that alone, but every per
son who advertized in the columns of the
paper. I wrote to the assembly, asking
that they remove the boycott, and it was
done. We must bear in mind that the
general master workman is only a
man. and dot above criticism. ' We
demand for ourselves the right of
free speech. We cannot consistently
deny it to others. We must tolerate fair,
open criticism. If a reply is necessary,
make it in a gentlemanly', dignified man
ner. If we are criticised or abused by a
blackguard sheet, treat it as you would a
blackguard himself—in silence. That our
aims and objects are good is no reason
why our members should Vie regarded us
beings of superior build or material. We
are no more the suit of the earth than the
millions of unknown toilers who do the
work of the world.
“In our dealings with laborers and capi
talists we must oeal justly and fairly by
them. If we would have it equally done to
us, we in turn must do equally to others.
This is the aim of the knights of labor and
must not be lost sight ol in the future.
“Let me direct your .intention to a few
little abuses. 1 rind that whenever a strike

enemy I silence him. it is
true, but • 1 .do not convince
him. i would make a convert rather
than a corpse of my enemy. The men who
own canita! arc not our enemies. If that
theory held good the workman of to-day
would be the enemy of his fellow-toiler on
to-morrow, for after all it is how to ac
quire capital and how to use it properly
that we are endeavoring to
learn. The man of capital is not
necessarily the enemy of the laborers. On
the contrary, they must be brought closer
together. 1 am well aware that some ex
tremist will sav that 1 am advocating a
weak plan, and will say that bloodshed and
destruction of property alone will solve
the problem. If a man speaks
such sentiments in an assembly
read to him the charge from
which tlic master workman repeats to the
newly initiated who joins the army of
peace. If he repeats ins nonsense, put him
•■lu the hands of men entirely ^reat the

add: In the hands of men with dis
cretion the gun is harmless as his
sword. To dur drinking members.
i extend a hand of kindness. I
hate the uses to which rum has been put,
but it is my duty to reach down and lift up
the man who has fallen a victim to the use
of liquor. If there is such a man within
the sound of the secretary's voice when
this is read, I ask him to stand erect on the
floor ot this assembly, raise his hand to
heaven and repeat these words:
“I am a knight of labor. I believe that
every mail should be free from the curse
ot slavery, whether the slavery appears in
the shape of monopoly, usury or intem
perance. The firmest link in the chain of
oppression is the one I forge, when I drown
manhood and reason in drink. So man can
rub me of the brain my God has
given me unless I am a party to theft. If I
drink to drown grief, I bring grief to wife,
children and sorrowing frknds. I add not
one iota to tut sum of human happiness

Years ago 1 extended’ an invitation to
the men of all trades to become a part and

stand ready to make every honorable con
cession. to do everything in lmnor to bring
about a belter feeling between trades'
unions and the Knights of Labor. At
the special session of the general assembly
the entire trouble can and must be* set

in the south, he argued, have not t his thing
lo contend with and know nothing of tin
•lash which is met with in the west, and
know not hitig * >f t iu* facts in relation to the
segregation of Methodism wliich is going
on under the present state of affairs.
Continuing, Dr. Chapman said: We who
have seen this waste of men and money
where tli*• northern Methodist church is in
the ascendancy, we are dying by inches,
and where not in the ascendency that
church is dying hy inches.
l)r. Whitehead, of Virginia, was in favor
oficferriug tin* matter to the committee
on foreign correspondence.
The question was discussed a + some
length, and finally was n lerred to a special
committee, t<» be composed of one from
each annual conference.
Another important matter looking in the
same direction was the reference to an ap
propriate committee tin* preparation of a
common hymnal that may be used by all
the different bodies of Methodism in the
country.
Tlie committee on itinerancy, to which
was referred a memorial from the Louis
ville and Denver confi rettces that provision
be made for the appointment of evangel
ists, recommended non-concurrence.
Dr. Adams of Georgia, thought that
Sam Jones and other such men should
have nominal appointments.
Dr. Messiek, ot Louisville, strongly sup
ported tlu report of the committee, and
was in fav«»r of allowing the question of
evangelism to stand as it is. Ik- very
forcibly contend* d 'b .t the church did not
want specialist on tni 1 * subject: that every

Oh! oh! and cheers]. In 1871 he had ex-
ine.ssed the great satisfaction with which
lie had heard the statements of the sup
porters of home rule, as those statements
contemplated nothing leading to a sever*
mice of the empire. rParnellite cheers].
Two ({uestioim always presented
themselves to his mind regarding
home* rule. Firstly, it must he shown that
it was desired by tne great mass of the pop
ulation of Ireland. That condition had
never been absolutely and unequivocally
on-sent until the passing of the representa
tion oRlic people act. I Cheers.] Secondly,
was home rule compatible with the unity
of the empire? That question had been an
swered by Parnell, wlio had declared ^hat
what he sought under the name of home
rule was simply the automacy of Ire
land. The speaker had been charged with
experimenting in politics without a grave
caursc. ITere they had the greatest causes,
for they were dealing with a people and a
country whose radical sympathies were
• agaiiwi the law, especially the criminal
law, which had never obtained the confi
dence or obedience of the Irish people.
The alternative, coercive and reform
measures had been tried. They had equally
failed to com iJiute. The medicine of
coercion, e«p< Hally, had been a medicine
continually applied in increasing doses
and with diminishing results. [Parnellites 1
cheers, j
Here the speaker reviewed the history
of the past in an endeavor to prove that
tin only thorough measure which would be
satisfactory t«» Ireland was now favorable.
As t.» th" autonomy of Ireland being a
menace to tin unity of the empire, he re
