\ny unwillingness torehabilitate the navy. Inpoint of fact, however, the Democrats in theHouso, in spite of the urgent anneals of thePresident ami Secretary Whitney, and. notwith-standing the obvious need of anew departure innaval matters, are so afraid of making any fur-ther large appropriations that they prefer to letthe navy slide in the hope that the RepublicanSenate may take the initiative in the matter.In this latter case the House would doubtlessconcur, for the responsibility for the expendi-tures could be shifted from Democratic to Re-publican shoulders. This little device will cometo grief, however. The Senate will not playthe part of the cat pulling chestnuts out of thefire for the Democrats, and if the House willnot indorse the recommendations of the admin-istration and take proper measures for securing

an improved navy the Senate will let the subjectseverely alone, and no new navy will bo had.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR AS STATESMEN.

A Tremendous Political Revolution Said ToBe Now Impending.

John Swinton’s Taper.If the Knights of Labor throughout the coun-

try carry into practical effect at the electionsnext November the policy prescribed at thereceut session of the general assembly, we shallsoon behold the most important political revolu-tion that has occurred in the United States sincethe abolition of slavery.

Twelve or more special demands—which weprinted at the time ot theiradoption—were maderelating to the land question, the money ques-tion. the levying of a graduated income tax, theregulation of the labor of mines, etc. A commit-tee of three was appointed to enforce these de-mands upon Congress, and it was resolved, inthe name of the General Assembly Kpights ofLabor:

“That we hold responsible at the ballot-box allCongressmen who refrain from voting in com-pliance with these demands.”

This is assuredly a great programme of action,adopted by the highest authority of the order,which has not far from one million members,nine-tenths of whom are voters, and will casttheir ballots next November for Congressmen,and, in many States, for members of the Legis-lature and State officers.

This host of voters is at least one-twelfth ofthe voting population of the country. It caneasily control enough members of Congress tohold the balance of power iu the House, besideselecting hundreds of members of State Legis-latures and executive officers.

Make no mistake about this matter. The gen-eral assembly meant that its new policy shouldbe enforced at the polls, with the full power ofits membership. We trust that all concernedwill clearly comprehend their duty in the prem-ises. The Knights of Labor enter the politicalfield to secure certain specified objects, and amultitude of voters outside of the order willsurely join hands with them in securing theseobjects. This is serious business.

It will be the duty of the Congress commit-tee to make report upon the conduct of all Con-gressmen in respect to these demands. It willbe the duty of all true Knights to give heed tothese reports. In the meantime every votershould watch the record made by his own Repre-sentative in Congress.

We presume the general assembly, at the Oc-tober session in Richmond, wiil make all neces-sary preparation forgiving practical effect to thepolicy adopted at the Cleveland session. Thereis heavy work to be done, aud it should be done’thoroughly. There are countless details to belooked after, and there should be no ravelledstrings or loose ends. The co-operation of thegrangers, the trades unionists, the Greenbackersand all friends of labor and progress must besought for.

It is anew departure, and, if its terms arefaithfully kept by all concerned, we shall withina half year behold a political revolution of incal-culable importance to the country. The work-ing people will have a voice—and it will be theirown voice—in the halls of legislation, and a handin the control of public affairs.

What's in a Name?To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:

The Charleston News and Courier, speakingfor the South and the real sentiment of Democ-racy, says “there is a desire rather to justifythe Southern people in the fight they made andto relieve them, from the foremost leader to thehumblest soldier, of that stain of blood guilti-

ness.” because their acts were denominatedhellion. If theirs was not a wanton and Gexcusable rebellion against “a jnat andgovernment,” then there never wag and net*!,will be an inexcusable rebellion. The theory <our institution is that the majority shauThe concern was bottomed on that foundationAgainst a free expression of thepeople, in the manner prescribed by the organs -

law, the South rebelled. They refused toaccswthe will of the people and took up arms again*!the authority of tho government, and comnio*language pronounces that rebellion; and ittainly was rebellion against "a just and agovernment.” The great heart of the America*people, full, as it is, of charity, can exense themasses of the South in saying that they w#*rncarried along by leaders, and that by the ah*,takes of leaders they suffered untold agonies atulmisery, but for J jff Davis now to flaunt his oldtreasonable utterances in the face of loyalty andsay that “their’s was a holy war against North*ern aggression,” necessarily saying that the warfor self-preservation on the part of the govern-ment was an unholy war, and that we invadedSouthern soil and conquered and coerced theSouth, with tho many other treasonable expreg.sions used by that arch traitor, was almost un-bearable: but now comes a leading journal andsays that when we get in our right mind andlook at the question unbiased “the taint oftreason will be taken away from the people ofthe South.” God forbid. May that day nevercome. Treason is taking up arms and trying todestroy the government. The South took uparms and did all they could to destroy ourcommon country. They were traitors and hwho still boasts of it and says he was right is atraitor to-day, and is a worse enemy than theChicago Anarchist

Still another danger is that the position statedby the News and Courier is being admitted by“thoughtful Northern men.” We experiencedthat trouble in the dark and bloody days whenthe struggle was on. The North had plenty ofmen who said that the South was not in rebel-lion. These men are here yet. But the greattrouble is that the great body of the Democratiaparty is iu these same rebellious States; thetail is up this way, the balance of the animal iasouth of Mason and Dixon’s line. Asa result ofDemocratic victory in 1884 we have rebellionhonored. Treasonable utterances are mafiabroadcast: Union soldiers are displaced and theirplaces filled by confederates. Treason andtraitors are in front seats. Davis receives thegreatest ovation of the times—and why? Simplybecause he was the chief traitor. The dangernow is that we will possess ourselves with toomuch charity. Already we tend that way. Leius call a halt. Soldiers, for what did you fight?Fathers and mothers, for what gave you yoursons? What’s in a name? Treason is treason,and by any other name it would be as infamous.Its quality is not bettered by age. and thesoflimsy eicuses only add insult to injury.

JuNiua.A Story of Ohio Politics.

Cincinnati Special to Cleveland Leader.“Allen O. Myers was asked to-day what B.

W. Criswell, the lately-discharged Enquirer ed-itor, who is now in Washington, could tell aboulPayne’s election. Myers did not hesitate to con-fess that Criswell’s knowledge is dangerous,Criswell’s testimony will be like this: One night,in the fall of 1883, Allen O. Myers came into thoffice from Columbus and excitedly said to Mo-Lean:

“ ‘One of our honest country members has soldout and won’t vote with us.’

“ 'Whatwill we do?’ said McLean.“‘Do,’ said Myers, ‘what can we do? Just

send word to the old man for $5,000, and buythe

“The ‘old man’ referred tojwas Payne, who wasafterward elected Senator, as some people re-member. The story comes from Myers himseif.It is the same as Criswell is said to have toldHalstead, and he will tell it also to the Senatscommittee, with a few more interesting details."

Orth Stein Again.Memphis Special.

Last week, a tall, dark, neatly-dressed youngnewspaper artist, with gold-rimmed eye-glasses,who gave his name as John Bell, dropped downin Memphis, ami soon made an engagement withthe Appeal to write and illustrate paid locals atso much a column. Yesterday the Ledger re-published from the St. Louis Republican an arti *

cle detailing the too romantic career of one OrthH. Stein, who suddenly jumped that city severaldays ago. leaving an alleged wife and severalother evidences of indebtedness. It also chargedthat, before going to St. Louis, he hod rohbodhis mother and sister in Lafayette, Ind., and had“done” Chicago, Leadville, Kansas City, Denvefand other Western cities. Orth H. Stein andJohn Bell are supposed to be oue and the sameman, since after the copy of the St Louis Re-publican containing the sketch of Orth Stein gothere John Bell immediately shook Memphis, andit is not likely we shall ever again see his hand*some face in this locality.
