WHARF ACCOMMODATION.

The very unsettled weather experienced during the past week has renewed the agitation amongst those interested in ship ping for the erection of open sheds on the outer tee of the Queen-street Wharf. The recommendation made by the Works and Tariff Committee of the Harbour Board, '■•' to the expressed wishes of numerous -petitioners, has/been referred back for reconsideration, and 'considerable anxiety is'rnanifested lest the 'matter be once again allowed to drop. Axery large quantity ot perishable goods has/ been put over the Queen-street Wharf this week, and the weatheriihaving been showery,; several hundred sacks of wheat and other grain havo been badly damaged by;the rain. This, of course, is very annoy ing to consignees of cargo, and they cannot understand why the Harbour Board will not push 1 forward the erection; of sheds at L brtce. The cost will be small, and the work is" surely one that deserves earnest .consideration.

FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1887.

For the causa that lacks assistance, Tor the wrong that needs resistance, Por tho future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The political reformer who was so cleverly lampooned by Dr. Wolcot in his " Needy Knifegrinder " was never reduced to greater straits for a policy and a grievance than our newly-fledged « Financial and Political Eeform As sociation " appears to be. At its las meeting, Mr McLachlan moved :—

" That the attention of the Committee be drawn to tho excessive cost of administra tion, and the advisability of reducing the Governor's salary and allowances, the num ber of the House of Representatives and their honoraria, of the Civil Service, and teachers and their salaries, and of altogether abolishing the honoraria of the members ot the Legislative Council, Ministerial resi dences, and the practice of granting pen sions." Now, although exception may be taken to some of these' headings, they are generally in the right and they embody certain general principles which are in perfect harmony with the objects of the Association. No person whose sympathies are with the work of financial reform would have much hesitation in subscribing to them, with reser vations as to matters of detail, But Mr Theo. Cooper last night came down Avith a series oi theses which he proposed should form, a'kind of creed which every member of the Association and every candidate for election must say " amen" to under penalty of eternal banishment and damnation. Every one of these sixteen propositions involves matters of the very first importance to the colony, and cannot be settled without the most serious consideration and debate ; but according to Mr Cooper, down the throats of every suffering member and candidate they must go " whether their mothers will let them or no." Individuality of thought is neither to be allowed in the Associa tion nor in Parliament—even the com mittee are not permitted to ruminate or hesitate over the terrible dose. Mr Cooper himself apparently has found no difficulty in swallow ing it, and probably he judges that all the members of the Association should be blessed with an equal capacity. Happy Association ! Happy Auckland ! Yea, happy New Zealand, to be governed by a legisla ture composed entirely of gentlemen possessing the originality, the brilli ance, the eloquence of Mr Theo. Cooper! Why did the Association hesitate, and adjourn the debate V Wo confess to our sorrow, however, that the dish which Mr Cqoper has brought up smiling is quite too highly spiced for our weak digestion. We Jay something like a parental claim to dish No. I—the reduction of the Gover nor's salary—and in a good many of the other delicacies we recognise old friends. But when he asks us to' swallow without inquiry or com punction the doctrine that the educa tion voteshall be reduced by one-fourth ; that all railway construction, except on contracts already let, shall - be slopped for three years; that there shall be no more borrowing for Lthree years; that the present Cus toms duties shall be decreased, and so.on, we really must protest that any association which would/ irre vocably pledge every candidate to such, conditions must have set its heart upon the election either of a parcel of fools or a collection of rogues. The country iff faced by impending financial. disaster, and as sure as the sun shines above us the Customs tariff will have to be increased whatever party comes into power after tho present" elections. .What the. Association can and should pledge candidates to is that this increase shall be protective of local industry, but as a considerable propor tion of the Association are .Free Traders a proposition of that kind would burst them up.. •■■■■;;•■'■'■' • •> ••••■.■;-;.

So also the resolution to stop mstan ter all borrowing and all railway con struction except on contracts already let, would mean to precipitate a finan cial crisis compared with which the present depression is but as the tortures of a nightmare compared with, the pains'^df^lfelll 1 - 0 ' It would mean leaving the ? hundreds of thousands of pounds spent in the past, to rot and decay, when they might be turned to profit in the interests of settlement.' The candidate who would blindly pledge'himself to such a policy, without giving consideration to each work ..which it would affect, ought .certainly to be sent to a- large • .building, -where ,is heard the ■•"- babel- of many .7 voices— but that building is very much, nearer than "Wellington; "; ; ■ ','

_ We .need not- follow, this curious creed further; every item -would take a separate article to touch upon its borders,; We would; point out; to. this Association, however, in all kindness, that it will make a mistake fatal to' its existence if it" should attempt to draw up political creeds of any sort. Such an Association, unlessiormed to attain one specific end—such as Protection or JFree Trade, bi\!' Secular .Edu cation or Denominational* Education, can. never, become, more than" a kind of political discussion class. It is 'not. :going to; and unmake, members of Parliament, nor cut them out and shape them accord ing to certain approved patterns, like tailors' dummies., These v Associations may, like the Parliamentary Unions, do'useful work by educating their own members, and to some extent the,

public at large in political questions, but that is allthey can do. We have; seen dozens of them'born and die, arid never remember one with death more plainly written on its face at so early a stage of its earthly career than this Association. But if it will only con fine itself to the duties which Nature has fitted it for, avoid dogmatism, which is a fatal malady in politics as in religion, and keep itself perfectly clear of being made the tool of political agencies, then it may live a useful if not very prolonged life, and die a peace ful death. But we calculate that the electors will look to the political addresses from the old political stagers, which will ring from end to end of the country before long, for guidance in the present crisis, rather than to the tyros who are airing their opinions in Robson's Rooms.

KNIGHTS OF LABOUR IN AUS TRALASIA.

Whether for good or ill, combinations

of working men are certain to exert a great and growing influence on the world's, affairs in the immediate future. We learn that a movement is on foot in Melbourne to found a labour league on the plan of the Knights of Labour Asiociation in the United States, and in the present temper of working men throughout the Australasian colonies; we should expect such a proposal to be taken up with vigour. Of the tremendous power exerted by 'the- Knights of Labour in the United States there can be no doubt; but in order that such power should be extended beneficently, it is essential that it should be directed with intelli gence and with a comprehensive aim. Combination in itself is no proof of intelligence, for the lower animals can combine for the securing of a common end, and Chinese labourers, who are not conspicuous for intellect have attained to perfection in the art of combination. The superior intelligence of workmen in the Australasian colo nies may be expected toprovide aguar antee that the powerful machinery of labour orginisations will be.used, as hitherto, with sense and moderation.

Another safeguard is provided in the attitude assumed by the Roman Catho lic Church . towards the Knights of Labour. Instead of condemning the movement as it was at first assumed they would do, the dignitaries of the Church of-Rome have expressed their approval of it in most unequivocal terms. Cardinal Gibbons wrote' a powerful paper approving of the Ameri can organisation, and Cardinal. Man ning, in a remarkable letter to another Romish dignitary in the United States, says he has read that document with "great assent," and adds: —

" Hitherto the world has been governed by dynasties • henceforth the Holy See Will have to' ' deal with"*-the people, and it has bishops in close daily and personal contact with the people. The more clearly and fully this is perceived, the stronger Rome will be. Never at any time has the. episcopate Been so detached from civic powers and so united iin itself and so well able .to see, ' to. realise, and to use its powers. ' Failure 'to see and use these powers will .breed, m.ueh trouble and mischief. My thanks are due to tho Cardinal for! letting me share' in the argument." If I can'find a copy of 'my lecture on .'The Dignity> and Rights of Labour;' I will send it to him. y -It will, I think, qualify -.me for;, knighthood in, the order.'. Brentano some years ago published books on the guilds, in which he proves that the association of labour and crafts go&sb'ack to antiquity. • But there is this notableiaet —in the English and-Teutonic laws they were recognised, favoured, and chartered:; in the Imperial and .Latin laws they were rigorously prohibited. ■■ We are this day, as. a Church, the mother, friend; and pro tector of the people. As the Lord .walked among them, so His Church lives among them. The Cardinal's argument is irresis tible;" \ 7 "V'7;',7 : .7',,;'-■';: i 7 ■:,

; This marks \ a new ■' and important departure for the Church of Rome, which has gone over completely to the Democracy. The influence ",' of .the Church has ever been; and ever; will> l be, of course, on 1 i 'tlie > side ,of Conservatism —"inculcating _ , respect .for .dignities and constituted authori- ''therefore its association with the .people's, movements shows that these '...movements' are not consi dered subversive of-order. The idea of a Roman Catholic Cardinal beiiig a Knight of Labour is decidedly refresh ing, and as the prelate from whom we have been quoting remarks, the atti tude talcen up by, the Church towards the organisation is well fitted to "open a new held of thought and action." .

The net cost of the production and circula. tion of this edition to the proprietor of the " Star " is Threepence per copy, at which price it will be sold after to-day, the object of lt s publication; being .; to furnish ."a; j Jubilee memorial, and not to make a profit. v- I It is determined, however,; to present every' regular subscriber to the ."Star" to-night with a copy at ONE PENNY.and subscribers are requested to see that (although threepence" is marked on the paper) they dp not pay any ftjghgr figure than ONE PENNY for the supple ment" to-olglit.
