THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

A powerful organisation, under the ibove name, has, it is well known, been for some years m existence m the United States, and we observe by a circular addressed to us by the Honorary Secretary, Mr Frank Guin ness, that a similar organisation is pro posed for New Zealand, a branch having been formed at Christchurch \ Under the presidency of Mr W. H. Hosking. The circular before us sets out the objects of the Association, which are many, various, and m some respects ambitious ; some of a political, some of of a politico-economical, and some of a social nature. Among the first group — the political —we find the following set forth as the aims of the members, viz. : — The substitution of popular election for the nominated system m respect of all public bodies ; the abolition of plural voting m all Parliamentary elections; the adoption of the principle of payment of members Of the House of Representatives ; the abolition of all State-assisted immigra tion (leaving the labor- market to find its own level), the prohibition of Chinese and Coolie laborers landing and settling m New Zealand except under a " sufficient " poll-tax ; and the advocacy of the settlement of all inter- ! national disputes by arbitration, so as to avoid the miseries arising from war fare. As regards the first of this group of proposals we concur that wherever possible popular election should be substituted for nomination, but there ate cases, as for instance m connection with the Land Boards, m which the Crown should be represented, and though the constitution might and should be generally elective, a certain proportion of nominated repressntation must necessarily be retained. In the proposal to abolish plural voting at Parliamentary elections we entirely coincide, but as regards immi gration we do not agree that all State assistance should be withdrawn. Immigrants introduced under the 'nominated system at the joint cost of the nominators and of the State have proved to be generally most desirable acquisitions to our population, and such immigration cannot be looked upon as an interference by the State witb the labor market, as those who are thus brought to the colony at the instance of iheir friends have homes and employment awaiting them, and do not go to swell the numbers of the un employed. As respects the poll-tax upon Chinese, there is already an impost of j£w per head, and it would appear to be a "sufficient" tax to effect the object m view, the number of Chinese m the colony of late years having decreased rather than increased. As regards the substitution of arbitra tion for the sword m settling inter national disputes, theie can be no two opinions as to the vast advantage which the world would reap from such a desirable change, and we fully approve of the Knights of Labor doing all they can to effect it, but we very much fear that their humane and praiseworthy object is not destined to be realised within the lifetime of the present generation unless ere it pass away the long-looked for Scriptural Millenium shall have commenced its beneficent term. Under the second group — the politico economical — the aims of the organisation are expressed to be— the enactment of laws giving mechanics and laborers a first lien on their wotk for full wages, to secure for both sexes equal pay for equal work, to make 8 hours a legal day's work, to secure .that the incidence of taxation shall be so adjusted as to equalise the burden m proportion to the power of bearing it — such taxation to be by way ef a land and income tax — the reserving of tbe public lands (the people's heritage) for the actual settler, " hot an acre to be given for railroads or to speculators," and the establishment by Government of a national circulating medium, without the irtervention ol banking corporations. Here we have what m America would be phrased as "a very large order," enough to occupy the energies of tbe Knights of Labor for many years to come. Some of tbe objects proposed have already been to a large degree attained, or are within easy reach of attainment. For example " The Workmen's Wages Act, 1884," protects workmen to the extent of sixty days wages — and no workman should allow his wages to fall into arrear for a longer term than this — and if the Act be not sufficiently ex plicit or far-reaching, its amendment will not be a work- of much difficulty. Again, the enactment of a law making eight hours a legal day's work will not be difficult of obtajnment, but we do not think that it will effect very much as it is obvious that very wide excep tions must be made, and even then i': Fill be impossible to prevent masters and servants from contracting outside of the Act, that is to say making special contracts, the Act notwithstanding. The proposal for a just distribution of taxa tion m relation to the power to beat the burden has our cordial approval and support, and if the Knights of Labor devote their energies to that one great ebject first, they will do well. There is lots of room for woik m. this direction. The reform urged is a great and genuine one, but it will not be obtained till the people are educated up to it, and speak out plainly on the question. That the Crown estate should only be parted wiih to the bona fide settler is sound policy, and this' is P>e ostensible aim of all our Land Acts, but it will need pains and patience to devise absolute safeguards that shall prevent tbe specu lator from driving the historical coach and-six through our legislation m this particular. As to not giv'ng a single ; acre for railway construction, we en tirely dissent, being of opinion that it is better policy m some instances to pay for such works m land than with ruoney raised upon loan m England. Again, m regard to the proposal for a State Bank, while we agree that such a Bank might perhaps be started wi'h advan tage, we do not concur that the State should contemplate doing the whole banking business of the colony. nor that it is possible to make paper legal tender without an adequate reserve of coin or bullion to fall back upon. We iear that the Knights of Labor have not fully thought out this part of iheir programme. The last group of objects set forth m the circular undei notice is what we have termed the "social" group, which embraces the pro motion of harmonious intercourse among the members of the organisation by^readings, recitations and lectures, tfae .crcaUun, of a iuod to eunsist tf {

donations, etc., for the building o! halls ( and establishing of libraries, the estab- 1 Hshment of co-operative institutions, both productive and distributive, tbe establishment under Government of bureaus of labor statistics, the substitu tion ot arbitration for strikes, the pro hibition of the employment of children under fourteen years of age m work shops, mines and factories, the securing for the toilers of the world a proper share of the wealth they create, more "society advantages," more of the benefits, privileges and emoluments o . the world, and the securing of just ; legislation for the wage-earning classes by tbe election of such members to the House of Representatives as will truly advocate their views and secure their rights. In the main these are very excellent aims, but the Knights of Labor roust be content to work towards them steadily, and to succeed gradually and slowly. AU that is here aimed at can scarcely be hoped to be achieved without patience and perse verance, and to the members of the new organisation we need only recom mend the words of Longfellow, as es pecially appropriate to the heavy task they have set themselves : — Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

AUSTRALIAN ROMANCES

In his reminiscences of Victoria, Dr Oameron Lets says :—'• Though the country Itself la by no means romantio, the lives of many of its inhabitants have been so. I have listened with wonder — not, £ confess, sometimes oninixed with doubt— to the most extraord'nary s'ories of the fortnues and misfortanes of men, of millionaires who have made lucky speculations m mines, and squatters whcae flocks and herds are coantletß. The oareers of some of those oae meiti have been stranger than anything pourtmyed m fiction. I have heard of a man strolling into & land sale without a peony In bis pocket-, baying reoklesßly, selling next day at au immense profit, and so layin? the foundation of a great fortune ; of a shoeblack m a hotel who invested his savings m silvermine shares when they wera at a low ebb, and who la now a large landholder and silver king. Suoh tales are constantly relate 1 for the regale* ment of the traveller. 1 was pointed on< au o!d gentleman who aa a boy ran nway from his home io Dundee to see King Georue IV. land at Leith Afraid to re rurn to his parents, he took aervioe as a boy on board a ship, came to the colony, subsequently went Home, purchased the very vessel that brought His Majesty to Scotland, and sailed her oat with a freight of poods, from whloh he mtde snob a profit that be was able to bay land, and 1« now a wealthy man Men who have beeo long m the colony are also fond of telling their adventures m the olden time. ' I've swam, sir, th& Murray, holding on to my horse's tail.' ' I've lain flu on a pain m a thunderstorm, sir, and felt my hair all standing on end with th« electricity streaming through it 1 ' • I beard of some la ad on the BUlybongs that was given up because of the blacks. I vent down there with a bullock dray and took up the station, held my own, and here I am.' One go* 8 rather tired at times of thia kind of thiog, also of endless talk about sheep, fonr-tooth rams, store cattle and fata. Vat with all the peuple Are interesting and the bores are few, though the few are very bad "

We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this do- mand Is beoause we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Viotorles of Soienoe — Eleetrto Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and mado mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are aountlesß Pills used for diseases and claiming muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootots, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble tbe stomach and paralyie the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with 0&4 or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills.

They never prove, delusive, or give merely temporary relief, but attack all ailments of the Btomacb, lungs, hnart, head, and bowels m tbe only safe and legitimate way, by depurating the blood, and so eradicating thoso impurities whioh are the source and constituent of almost every disease; Their medicinal effioaoy is wonder- ful io renovating enfeebled eonstitions. Their aotion embraces all tbat is desirable m a household medioine. They expel every noxious and effete matter; and thus the strength is nurtured and the energies stimulated.



MOTHEE SEIG-EL'S OPERATING PILLS, JFor Constipation, Sluggisli Liver, &c. TTNLIKE many kinds of cathartic U medicines, do not make you feel worse before you feel better. Iheir operation is gentle, but thorough, and unattended with disagreable effects, such as nausea, griping pains, &c. Seigel's Operating Pills are tha best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them m a healthy condition . The best remedy extant for the bano of our lives — constipation and sluggish liver. These Pills prevent fevers and all kinds of sickness by removing all poisonous matter from tho bowels. They operate briskly, yet mildly, with- out any pain. If you take -a. severe cold, and arc threatened with a fever, with pains m tho head, back, and limbs, one or two doses of seigel's Operating Pills will break up the cold and prevent the fever.
