The Knights of Labor.
From one end of the country to the other
accounts come daily of the sayings and do
ings of the Knights of Labor. Our attention
has been drawn to the fact that in a small
village, Jackson, Butts county, in this
State, a Knight of Labor delivered a lecture
a few nights since.
This organization may intend to confer
blessings of some kind upon the laboring
man, hut the danger is that it will virtually
fall into the control of men who may use it
for political purposes. The action of the
Knights of Labor has not always been
wise.
But a short time since, this organization
had homo trouble with Messrs. Baughman
llros., of ltichmond, Va., and determined
to ruin the business of that 11 rm. The
Journal of Commerce, of New York pub
lishes this letter from a lady of that city,
whom the Knights of Labor attempted to
force into their movement

Tea v. Tears.
‘•The Bev. Dr. Hatfield ‘suggested’ to his
fellow Methodists parsons at Chicago, the
other day, ‘that a reporter he received
politely, offered a cup of tea, and politely
dismissed. If a servant girl shows weak-
ness and allows herself to he tampered
with—(laughter)—is that any reason why
papers should spread the disgusting facts
broadcast?” ’—Exchango.
Dr. Hatfield must be a very sanguine not
to say verdant minister, if he really thinks
that the church can be shielded from criti
cism by the gift of a cup of tea to an in
quisitive reporter. A reporter so easily satis
fied woald not long figure upon the Chicago
press.
We warn Dr. Hatfield and hia ‘‘fellow
Methodist parsons" that tea will not cover
np iniquity nor stay the embarrass
ing investigations that have made life
burden to too many of the fraternity
throughout the country, during the last
year or two. In the first place tea itself,
we have been informed, is a greet dissem
inator of scandal. Very frequently a social
cup of tea spreads broadcast facts that
otherwise would never have reached the
press. Tea applied to a reporter would
arouse suspicion in his bosom and stimu
late him to closer search.
A better plau for Dr. Hatfield and his
follow parsons would be to give reporters
no excuse for calling upon them—by living
upright lives, keeping out of politics and
avoiding the pollution of election contests.
In this way they can save their tea, salaries,
their good names, and what is even more
important, save their cause.
But so long ns girls have wrongs the facts
will he unearthed and scattered nbrond to
blast the guilty man, he he publican or
preacher. Tears cannot be hidden in tea.

than formerly and more wine.”

York Son: “According to official reports of
tbs signal service, 134 people were liUed by ■
a tornado on July 2C, 1875, near Erie, Pa.,
and sixty-five were kiUedby another at
Marshfield, Mo., April 18,1880. Some of
the 600 tornadoes reported from 1794 to
1881 wen almost as destructive. In the
bill now before tbe House of Representa
tives, favoring the extension of tbe signal
service reports for tbe relief of farmers, it
is proposed to forecast ‘cold waves, rains,
storms, and marked inclemencies of the
weather.’ Tbe projioaod system ofpredic.

nadoes require special attention and a high
degree of scientific accuracy for their pra
dfethm. Danger signals ought to be estab
lished at telegraph stations not later than
April 1, 1886, otherwise many lives will bs
nanecealarily lost.”
