Platform of the National Labor Union

We hold that all political power is inhe
rent in the people, that free government is
founded on their authority, and established for
their benefit ; that all citizens are equal in
political rights, entitled to the largest rehg-
ious and political liberty compatible with the
good order of society, as also the use and en-
joyment ofthe fruits Of their labor and talents,
and no man or set of men are entitled to the
exclusive, separate emoluments, privileges or
ImmunIties from the Government, but in con
sideration ofspubhc services and any laws
destructive Of these fundamental principles
are without moral binding force and should be
repealed and we believe that the evils re-
sulting from unjust legislation now affecting
the industrial classes can be removed by the
adoption Of the principles contained in the
following declarations Therefore resolved
!. That 1t is the duty of the government
to establish Just standard Of distribution t.
capital and labor, by providing purely ma
tlonal circulating medium, based on the faith
and resources Of the nation, issued directly to
the people without the intervention Of any
system Of banking corporations, which money
shall be legal tender in the payment of all
debts, ublc and private and interchangea
bic at the option of tie holder for government
bonds bearing a rate of interest not to exceed
three and sixty five hund-eths per cent sub
toCs W IutuIc u sSlslatlou Dy I OngreSS-
2 That tn national debt should be paid
in good faith according to the original contract
at the earliest option Of the government, with
out mOrtgaging the property of the people,
and the future earnings of labor to enrich a
few capitalists at home and abroad
3. That justice demands that the burdens
Of government should be so adjusted as to bear
equally on all classes and interests and the
exemption from taxation of government bonds,
bearing extortionate rates Of interest, is a VIC
latlon OF all Just principles Of revenue laws
4. That the enlightened spirit of the age
demands the abolition of the system of con
tract labor in our prisons and other reforma-
tory institutions
). That the public landp OF the United
States belong to the people, and should not
be sold to individuals nor granted to curpora-
lions, but should be held a. q sacred trust for
the benefit of the people, and should be grant
| ed free of cost to landless settlers onlv in
amounts not exceeding l6O acres each
8. That Congress should modify tariff 90
as to admit free such articles Of common use
as we can neither produce or grow, and lay
duties for revenue mainly upon articles OIL

New STEAMSHIP LAYING CABLES A
project which. if contaminated may effect
an important decrease in the expense Of
laying submarine telegraphic lines is said to
be IN prospect cable manufacturing
company Of England having the design q
building a steamship expressly fitted for
their work. This vessel. it is proposed,
shall be smaller than the Great Eastern.
and much less expensive to run, and shall
be capable Of carrying 5000 to 1000 miles
Of cable
NEW METHOD OF CLEANING GLASSWARE.
The vessel to be cleaned is filled. or. if
large. rinsed with a moderate diinte solu-
tion Of potassium permanganate, the con
tact of the liquid being prolonged till A
film Of hvdrated manganic oxide has been
deposited the solution is then poured
away. and the glass vessel rinsed with some
strong hydrochloric acid Chiorin is then
formed, but not enough to cause inconven-
ence and acting in the nascent state on
the orgonic matter. it speedily converts
them into substitution products, that are
soluble in the slight excess Of acid or
water
AT a meeting Of the stock holders of the
Nllliamstown cheese factory, a dividend of
10 per cent. was declared. The report
showed a net production Of - 900 pounds
for the year. The cheese manufactured at
this establishment commands as high
price as any made in the country. Nearly
half the amount produced was exported.

rolling mill. calculation shows that about
40 per cent Of the power Is absorbed in

may be effected in this direction

A RETIRED clergyman sends the Dam
bury Netes al account OF iittle'au
that happened In his place. 1t appears
that there was young woman, u fine
spirited girl, engaged at a wash tub.
opposite an open door. Just behind
her was young man, as is generally
the case, and In the yard an old buck,
allowed the freedom Of the premises,
which Is not always the case. we are
glad to say. Well, this buck came up
to the door and looked in, and the
young man going close behind the
young woman, pointed his finger
straight at the buck, and the old tel-
low, recognizing at once the pressing
character Of this mute invitation. put
down his head and dashed forward,
and tie miserable man stepped one
side aud fed. and the young woman,
all unconscious Of the arrangements,
received the awful shock without
warning and passed over the tub, and
the air for an instant appeared to be
full Of slippers, and wet clothes, and
hot water and suds. And the next
minute that goat came flying ont OF
the door at dreadful speed, bald the
whole length Of his spine, and wild
look In his eye. And for an hour al
terward he stood behind the barn,
scratching his chin, and trying to re-
call all the circumstances In the unfor-
tunate affair.

HOPKINS STOP.

When Hopkins was organist at ST..
Abednego's church, be gave concert for
the benefit of the Sunday school. Hopkins
would fb sometimes and he had told
some of his brother organists that he had
a vox humana stop in his organ. AS sew
eral Of them were coming around to the
concert, Hopkins determined to prevent
them fro n detecting the deception. So
he engaged q friend Of bis who sang tenor
down at the negro Ministries to come up
and get into the organ case and sing. II
was arranged that Hopkins was to give q
certain signal and that the minstrel was
to tune mp and wrable an air. When the
concert came Off the scheme worked
splendidly. Everybody exclaimed: How
beautiful Elegant, isn't it2 Sounds eN-
actly like human voice. Then there
was an encore, and another air was sung.
Right in the middle of it the vox humana
stopped suddenly. Then It was heard
swearing and using the most dreadful
language inside the organ. Then II
yelled for help, and Hopkins went around
to the rear to ascertain what was the
matter. lie found that his man had beer
standing on the blower and the blower
objected to the extra weight, aud finally
began combat with Hopkins friend
and now the bellows blower had the voI
humana stop down on the floor inside tht
organ, and he was nibbling at the pipe
aud among the machinery in manner
that threatened general decentralization e
the machine. Aud the more the comba
deepeBed the louder the yox humani
howled. They were separated by th,
wardens, aud the concert continued in
minor and melancholy key. But the mex
day they discharged Hopkins from th
St. Abednego's aud now he wishes th,
bellows man had murdered the miustre
