In Thomas' Drug Store, COLUMBIA, KANSAS. Declaration of Principles, The alarming development and agres-siveiicss of great capitalists and corporations, unless checked, will inevitably lend to the pauperization and hopeless degradation of the toiling masses, It is imperative, If we desire to enjoy tho full blessings of life, that a check be placed on unjust accumulation, and the power for evil of aggregated wealth. This much-desired object can be ac complished only by the united efforts of those who obey the divine Injunction, "In the sweat of thy face slnilt thou eat bread." Therefore we have formed the Order of Knights of Labor, for the purpose of organizing and directing the power of the industrial masses, not as a political parly, for it is more in it are crystalized sentiments and measures for the benefit of the whole people, but it should be borne in mind, when exercising the right of suffrage, that most of the objects herein set forth can only he obtained through legislation, and that it Is the duty of all to assist in nominating and supporting with their votes such candidates as will pledge their support to those measures, regardless of party. But no one shall, however, be compelled to vote with the majority, and calling upon all who believe in securing "the greatest good to the greatest number," to join and assist us, we declare to the world that our aims are: 1. To make industrial and moral worth, not wealth, the true standard of individual and National greatness, 2.

To secure to the workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create, sufficient leisure in which to develop their intellectual, moral and social faculties; all of the benefits, recreation and pleasures of association in a word, to enable them to share in the gains and honors of advancing civilization. In order to secure these results, we' demand at the hands of the State: 3. The establishments of Bureaus of Labor Statistics, that we may arrive at a correct knowledge of the educational, moral and financial condition of the laboring masses. 4. That the public lauds, the heritage of the people, be reserved for actual settlers; not another acre for railroads or speculators, and that all lands now held for speculative purposes be taxed to their full value.

5. The abrogation of all laws that do not bear equally upon capital and labor, and the removal of unjust technicalities, delays and discriminations in the administration of justice. 6. The adoption of measures providing for the health and safety of those engaged in mining, manufacturing and building industries, and for indemnification to those engaged therein for injuries received through lack of necessary safeguards. 7.

The recognition of incorporation, of trades' unions, orders, and such other associations as may be organized by the working masses to improve their condition and protect their rights. 8. The enactment of laws to compel corporations to pay their employes weekly, in lawful money, for the labor of the preceding week, and giving mechanics and laborers a first lien upon the product of their labor to the extent of their full wages. 9. The abolition of the contract system on National, State and Municipal works.

10. The enactment of laws providing for arbitration between employers and employed, and to enforce the decision of the arbitrators. 11. Tho prohibition by law of the employment of children under 15 yearr of age in workshops, mines and factories. 12.

To prohibit the hiring out of convict labor. 13. That a graduated income tax- be levied. And we demand at the hands of Congress: 14. The establishment of a National monetary system, in.

which a circulating medium in necessary quantity shall issue direct to the people, without the intervention of banks; that all the National issue shall be full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private; and that the Government shall not guarantee or recognize any private banks, or create any hanking corporations. 15. That interest-bearing bonds, bills of credit or notes shall never be issued by the Government, but that, when need arises, the emergency shall be met by issue of legal tender, non-interest-bearing money. 16. That the importation of foreign labor under contract be prohibited.

17. That in connection with the post-office, the Government shall organize financial exchanges, safe deposits and facilities for deposit of the savings of the people in small sums. 18. That the Government shall obtain possession, by purchase, under the right of eminent domain, of all telegraphs, tel-pbones and rafroads, and that hereafter no charter or ncense be issued to any corporation for construction or operation of any means of transporting intelligence, passengers or freight. And while making the foregoing demands upon the State and National Gov-( ernment, we will endeavor to associate our own labors: 19.

To establish co-operative institutions, such as will tend to supersede the wage system, by the introduction of a cooperative Industrial system. 20. To secure for both sexes equal- pay for equal work. 21. To shorten the hours of labor by a general refusal to work for more than eiebt hours.

22. To persuade employers to agree to arbitrate all differences which may aris-between them and their employes in order that the bonds of sympathy between them may be trengthencd and that strikes may be rendered unnecessary. by Belford, Clarke Chicago, at 25 cents, ARK YOU GOING SOUTH If so, it is of great importance to you to be fully informed ns to tho cheapest, most direct and pleasant route.

Pittsburg, John Killholland, has bought 80 acres of coal land near Pittsburg, and aims to form a co-operative association to work it in the near future- The Rogers Coal Company, are going to build a $4000 store here, they have bought corner lots for that purpose. This company monopolizes nearlv all the trade of this town in every line of business.

Jones and Miller, have opened a drug store on Broadway, not far from the 'Frisco depot; give them a call. The readers of the Jouknal in Weir, Litchfield and Pittsburg, will confer a great favor on us, if when purchasing goods from our advertisers, mention the fact that they saw their advertisement in tho Eabok Journal. Steppevllle, As we suggested in our last, that we ns miners were willing to submit our grievances to any fair minded men that might be selected by both parties. So, on the 29 the Arbitrators met at the Boarding House, at this place. Mr.

Pattison, pit boss of No. Seammonville, appeared for the company, and John Welch, of Stilson, for the miners, and James Rafter acting as umpire; after taking the oath, they proccded to take evidence; the wit nesses of the company were first examined, all under oath, three of the four gave pretty straight-forward testimony, but the other, poor fellow, he was an ob ject to be pitied. After dinner, the miners' evidence was called for, and eight wit nesses were, examined; some very fair testimony was elicited from several of the men, but some of them flew off on a tangent from the direct- point. "We are happy to state, that after weighing the evidence on both sides of the case: the arbitrators came to an unanimous conclusion thai our men were discharged without just Cfiuse. So we are to go to work as we were before, only, that we will appoint and put on a check-weigh-man, to commence the first day of May.

So Messrs editors, and gentle readers, ends the the present strike of the Colum-Company's mines. The newspaper art icles, and the personal influence used against us in this matter did not succeed. Yours very truly the Comeittke Bevier News-letter. W. H.

Loomis, th coul king of Mis souri, has been seeking editorial sympathy. Not only this, but he has been keeping his clerk, Mr. Gray, busy writ ing false reports to the "Globe" and "Republican," and all great dailies, tell ing the people all over the States, that we, the miners were making extravagant demands, that we quit work when we wre receiving four cents per bushel, he stated in a letter, on Saturday, that there were a few leading spirits conducting the whole business; he threatens to bring niggers here, he has tried to get some of the colored people Macon, to come here and work at the reduction, but they said: "Not for Joseph." About the 9. of April, there was a res- ol uon passed in a mass meeting, that no more mass meetings be held, until the cents was paid. Mr.

Loomis, asked the miners to arbitrate the matter, this they at first, refused to do; then he asked the committee to give him an audience, we did s. The Labor Commissioner was called upon by the operators, he came and was taken by them, to Hannibal, St. and other places, in the meantime, trying convince him that our demands were unjust, we met with the operators in the presence of the Labor Commissioner. Loomis, demanded a reduction of 25 per cent, or one cent per bushel, The Commissioner, considered 12.per cent sufficent. This Mr.

Loomis, refuses to accept. He offered 3 cents for minning, the proposition was voted down without 1 dissenting voice. Then the question )t arbitration was brought up, a vote ich resulted in favor of arbitration. The State of Missouri was to be taken a8 basis, and arbitrate until the first of Sept. 1885.

The question to arbitrate on, was 3 and 1 cents. This, Loomis, accepted after a good deal of parley; but when we demanded 3 cents, in case the board of arbitration failed to agree, for the total out-put of coal, and pay for other wrk proportion; he demurred at this, and posted a notice as follows: Miners of 1., 3. and 4., there will be steam to-morrow, so as you can go down and bring "your tools out as we have no further need for your services.
