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 “Richmond, February 11, 1885.—Messrs. Baughman Bros.: Dear sirs-1 am in re ceipt of a notice from the Richmond Typo graphical Union to tho effect that 1 am to bo summarily dealt with unless I withdraw my name from the list of your customers to be published in the Labor Herald on Saturday, February 13.

It will be an easy matter for the appropriation committee to end the life of the gentlemen who loaf about hotels, draw ing big salaries, under the pretence of being reform statesmen, as is practiced by the so- called Civil Service Commission. 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.
