WoRCEsTER
WEDNESDAY. MAY :, 1879.

The AMERICAN LABoR REFORM LEAGUE
held a convention in New York, Monday, and
elected William B. Greene president, and E. H.
Haywood, secretary, for the ensuing year. Mr..
Edward Palmer, who presided, said, :" The OBJ
iect-probablr meaning one objcct-of this So
cety' is to put an end TO the practice of taxing
interest for the use of money; but he did not
explain how he expects to get the use of an
other mans money without interest Perhaps
he intends TO annihilate the value of money
and make it utterly useless. Does he mean,
also, to use other peoples horses, cows, grain,
and vegetables, without paying for what he
gets? Some of his associates, we believe, in
sist oil Alright to use other peoples houses with
out paying rent.
Some other notable things were said at this
convention. A "Col" Beeny spoke against land
monopoly, which ought to be spoken against,
especially that form of it which he denounced,
namely, the giving of great quantities OF land
to railroads and other spectators. Ira b.
Davis, If correctly reported, spoke thus: "He
secuted tho idea of leading men to do right be-
cause it is just; appeal must be made to self-in-
terest. Judas was as good as Jesus; he played
different role" II seems impossible for sane
man to talk in this way; therefore, f Mr., Davis
be not lunatic, there must be something wrong
in the report. A Mrs. Daniels insisted that the
best and most practicable remedy for all existing
troubles is "the graduated tax" This, she said,
is "coal from off the altar of God;" she did
not explain, but it appears to mean some meth
oil of taking property from those who have it,

ems works. Mr.. Coriss of Gloucester, the sec
rotary of the joint committee on mercantile
affairs, has also had evidence of the high esti-
nation in which he is held by his associates,
they having surprised him with richly bound
edition of Bancroft's History of the United
States.
All the business before the legislature having
been completed, the usual committee to await
on the governor and request Propagation was
appointed at about halfpast six. The governor
"was pleased to say" that he congratulated the
legislature on its early adjournment, thar he
had signed all bills and resolves sent to him,
and that he was glad TO observe that so many OF
his suggestions had been acted upon. Secre-
tary Warner performed his duty soon after, an
nouncing in doing so that the governor has
signed $50 bills and sixty resoves-and the ses-
sion was over.

That Sabbath evening the bells rang ont in
Jubilee, from cathedral chimes and in village

city and hamlet to hamlet the glad tidingS of
victory and peace. The nation fell on Blended
knees and reyerently thanked the God of battles
and of love. Widowed hearts were sadly proud
even in their agony OF desolation. Old men and
women ceased to mourn their loved ones slain,
and reverently thanked God that they had been
permitted 10 give their irst-h0rn free.wi offer
ing upon the altar OF country aud liberty And
loving womanhood, and praItling ehildho0d, and
age with its silver crown OF honor waiting
heaven, slept peacefully and well that sabbath

/ seized and thrust on board under hntches, and
there packed away like behring's in bar
rel. Captain Palmer actually found at FIJI
an English trading vessel of only forty-eght
tons burden with hundred natives on board,
stark naked, emaciated and half dead. He put
a prize crew on board and sent her down to Sid
ncy, where both vessel and officers were prose-
cuted for being engaged in the slave trade, but
the prosecution failed. Some attempt was made
at Queensland to regulate the traffic, and agents
were appointed to accompany the trading
vessels to see that no improper practices
were employed. These agents proved of
little practical value, because they were
not carefully selected nor properly sustained by
the authorities. Some of them were drunken,
inscriptions wretcheS, who cOnnived at all
sorts of rascality and cruelty, and one, who tried
to do his duty, was threatened with death if he
meddled with what the captain said was none
of his business, and was finally drueged into
insenSibility, put in irons and thus brought
home chained among the poor wrctches in the
hold, the captain giving as an excuse for such
treatment that the agent became insane and
dangerous.
The history of this trade in men for the few
years which it has existed has many stories of
wholesale cruelties and murder, as sickening as
those which made the African slave trade the
sum and climax of denominations. Murder by
shooting, drowning starvation and conine-
ment in pestilential quarters, is an ordinary in
cdent of the business. The provocation of the
recent deplorable murder of Bishop Patteson by
the savagcs of Nukapu is clearly traced
to the yilainous stratagem of one of
these traders, who painted his vessel TO
resemble the missionary schooner and
used to dress up one of his men in clerical cos
tune and have him walk about the deck with
book in his hand, as if he were missionary and
thus decoy the simple natives on board, when
they were forced into the hold and carried off,
This was literal borrowing the livery OF heay-
en- to serve the devil in" Notwithstanding all
these exposures, nothing etfectual has yet been
done to suppress or even to regulate this infer
nal traffic,
