time For years we have labored and toiled
10 the utmost Of our ability 10 advance the

LABOR REFORM---LABOR CON.
GRESS.


I GRESS.
The history Of the present labor reform
presents tbe Distinguishing characteristics
of every great reform which bas preceded
il. The propelling power comes from the
people themselves. Vor POPul, Vor da
The voice Of the people, the voice Of God
expresses truth never more apparent than
in this popular move nent-the labor reform
1T was truly " born ID stable and Graded
in manger." The deep sense Of Outrage
and wrong whieh pervades great fundamsnt-
al laws, and the desire Of a change for the
better, comes yelling up from the lowest
depths Of the human heart. It a. n0t- -eon-
Hned by time or space, but has sprung up
spontaneously on every side Of Us. The
rich and the poor, the learned and the IN
learned find themselves actuated by n simi-
larity Of ideas aRd desires for reform. No
where has this truth been more apparent
than in the late Labor Congress 1t PhHa-
delphia.
Here were delegates from Massachusetts,
in the East, Alabama and Mississippi, in the
SCuth, Missouri, Kansas and California 10
the West. Here were trades assemblies,
labor organizations, working wOmen's assO-
Citations, and delegations of colored men,
not seeking Parlor equalities but equaliIyOl
rights each holding their distinctive AssO-
Citations and positions, yet contendDg for
an universally and an equality Of rights TO
be accorded to each and every portion Of The
country, and to each and to every indVid-
ual. There may have been a strong bias,
and even AntagOnistie ideas arising out Of
Sdifvrence Of education, institutions and cir
matte Influences, yet all these combined did
not prevent a unity Of action on oil the
great questions presented icr consideration.
The refusal to admit Miss Anthony arose
out Of dispute between herself and the
New York Typographical Union, touching
! her alleged unjust action during strike and
denying that she belonged TO bona .'dt
labor organization. But the action Of he
convention taken as a whole, by no means
inpinged upon tie general statement here
made. Miss -ApthOy1 had made herself
somewhat obnoxious to the typOgraPbica
union Of New YorA, aud this dispute vas
pressed upon he convention further than
1t ough: to have been do1e We shall noL
we sincerely hope, be obliged u rake acton \
upon another such a difficulty.
Tie Congress, however while laborlhs
On, tr all these serious difficulties, has done
its work, and done it well. 1t has present
the country platform of principles more
broad, comprehensive and just thfn hH
ever emanated IRON, or been enuncicsed By
any other party.

What are the facts in the case = We find
by careful inquiry that up to the time of the
formation of the present OrgAnizat 70, known
as the M. B. A., the miners had suffered out.

without the power Of redress. Tne opera
tors had cheated and oppressed their men
until . spontaneous movement placed thirty
thousand laborers in line 10 defend their
common rights as men.
Among the grievances against which the
men protested were these
The collection Of all bills, whether they
we're right or wrong. The butcher at the end
of each month handed his accounts into the
office without consulting the miner. The
operator charges five per cent. for collecting
an the butcher, not caring to lose, sells the
beef for enough more to maze up for five per
cent. Next were the doctors bills.
The phosician charges seventy-6ve cent?
per month for a married man, and fifty cents
for single person. The men were not very
particular about this item, still they claimed
the privilege of choosing their own ply sician
instead Of having the operator do It for them.
The shOemaker's bill was collected at the
end Of the month, the same as the butcher s
bill. Instances are related where the shoe
maker took mans measure, collected the
bill at the Office, and then never finished the
job.
Usually the operators had stores. which
they compelled the men to patronize. This
they said was against the laws OF the State,
and they felt greatly grieved that they could
not spend their money where they pleased.
They say that Tor years and years they
worked for two dollars or less per dSy,while
the operators were making fabulous sums.
Said one miner "The operators keep US ig-
.,orant, and then they blackguard Us because
we cannot read and write"

The Newark Mercantile Court bill was

Senate yesterday a bill was introduced
to enable the Joint companies to i'm
prove lands under water at Bergen
Point, in Hudson County, and on the
opposite side, Kill Won Kull, in Mid
dlesex County, other places. The rules
were suspended and the bill was sub
sequently passed. The bill relating to
the rights of riparian owners was also
passed. The result is supposed to have
been the effect of a compromise between
the joint companies and the advocates
of the riparian act.

OFFICE SEEKING. Attached to every
political party are thousands of men
who never dream of engaging in regular
business pursuits, or of working as pro-
ducers for livelihood but live, Heav-
en- knows how. year after year upon the
hope, and with intent, of procuring of
flee. They will spend ten years in
ldleness to get one or two years of par
titan and official bread and butter or
often the bread without butter. About
one of these in say five or ten thousand
ever gets position worth daily salt.
Yet nothing will induce them to seek
subsistence in any other form. They
have usually suffering families, many
of whom are as anxious, eager and Wis
ionary upon the subject of office hold
ing as their heads. 1t is great pity
that this curse of habitual Office seek
ing cannot be modified, reduced, or al
together abrogated.

DRESS FOR CHURCH. LIT is proposed
in some of the papers that ladies wear
only black at church. The suggestion
does not involve the question OF wearing
mourning apparel, but intimates that
black, always with us worn when
mourning is used, should now be made
the rule for the dress ofladies at church.
The suggestion is no pleasing one to
our taste. Black is not necessarily
mourning, and is always as suitable for
church as any other assembly or occa-
sion. But it would not be seemly or
wise to have q rule of fashion OF custom
that should exclude from the house of
prayer and praise, whatever colors are
comedy and seasonable. A congregation
where all the women are clothed in sable
attire would suggest the idea of a mourn
ing assembly, and that is not the only
or the grand idea of public worship.
We meet to pray and praise and hear.
81 was glad when they said unto me,
let us go into the house of the Lord, -
was the joyful exclamation OF the Psalm
list; and it is the utterance of all cheer
full Christians. They would not put on
garments of mourning, nor would they
suggest by their garb, that there is any
thing in the Sabbath or the sanctuary
to call for the semblance of sorrow.
And when this is said, how true it is
that the tendency of the times is to-
ward the other extreme-that too
many dress for church with display
of establishment utterly out of har-
mony with the sobriety and simplicity
of humble penitence and supplicants at
the footstool of mercy. The rich
ought to think of it, and set an example
of quiet and transformations apparel that
will be useful in its effect upon the
poor. In all this there is room for the
exercise of judgment and good sense,
without running into fanaticism in the
way of extravaganza or plainness.
