a NeW Departure.

The revised constitution of the
Knights cf Labor, which went into
effect last week, makes an important
change in the financial arrangements
of that organization. Under the co.
operative law cooperation has been
established which takes the place of
what has been known as the defense
fund. By this arrangement each
male member must pay into the local
assembly ten cents per month, and
women pay half that sum. For every
thirty cents paid in the Financial
Secretary will issue local certificate
of stock in the Cooperative Associa-
ton Of the Knights OF Labor. A
member on receiving ten Of these GER
tificatos exchanges them for a three
dollar working capital certificate. All
profits accruing from the investment
of these funds are divided equally on
the three dollar basis. All certif-
Gates are the personal property of the
member to whom they are issued, and
all profits go directly to the stock
holders. At each session of the Grand
Assembly cooperative board of five
directors is 10 be selected, The time
sad place for each Investment is to he
determined by the Grand Assembly,
and Whenever en- Investment is rider
Cd it must be Incorporated under
the laws Of tho State whore located
The necessary amount is then called

other, known as the Insurance law,

ReHcctiOns--H Humorous and

FRosTBURo, MD, July IA, 1882.
70 the MINING JOURNALS:
l have been kept quite busy during
The present season attending picnics.
The other day I visited one, however,
that acas picnic, 1t was a Sunday
school affair, and the scholar who at
tends school just before Christmas and
the Fourth was there in all his war;
paint and glory, and when it came to
the treat of lemonade and candy he
was there too. Naturally modest and
retiring with just sufficient of that
metal known as brass 10 carry me
successfully through the world | in
vited myself to the Sunday school
picnic, and there in shady nook
with pencil and notebook in hand
proceeded to take data of what was
transpiring around me.
King William was King James son,
Upon royal race he run,
Upon bis breast he wore star
Which was called the life OF war;
Go choose your east,
Go choose your west,
Go choose the one that you love best,
and lots more of the doggerel was
waited to my ears in lively tune
and peepiug thu ough the leaves of my
hiding place l saw the Sunday school
children had developed into stalwart
men and blushing damsels playing
"ring." Then a young fellow with a
mustard-plaster complexion and tooth
brush moustaohe kissed a maiden
whose age was as uncertain as one Of
Vennor's guesses she didn't like the
kiss bit-at least she made out she
didn't, but for moment she allowed
her head to rest en- his shoulder
while he imprinted on her cherry
pie-stained lips kiss so-called. Thus
it went on-frst one and then the
other getting "choosed" until all had
INDUCED in a little osculatory exer-
else. Some may have carried away
with them an unpleasant reminder OF
tobacco-scent but that's nothing when
they get used toit, for didn't cur fore

the Union Pacific company for charg-
ing 25 cents fare for carriage over the
railway bridge between Council Bluffs
and Omaha. But the U. P. owns the
only means of passage and they use
it as monopoly. The tax is a terrific
one and prohibitory of traffic between
the two cities.
The time made and attention given
by the Baltimore and Ohio and Chi
cago and Rock Island roads commend
these great thoroughfares to the West
to those contemplating emigration.
Other roads may take passengers
through at the same prices, but they
cannot possibly make the time. Trav-
elers know that aside from the tedi-
um of going the longest way around,
the addition of time involves cores
pondingly increased expenses. Sc
that those going West cannot do bet

EXPRESSIONS.
We have, however, no rose-colored
view of life and labor in the West tc
give cut. People there as here, I'M
less rich enough to get along without
it, must work. Anywhere in this
country there appears no royal rosC
to wealth except through wealth
Skilled labor, it is true, is doubtless
better esarded beyond the Missouri
than here, but only little better
while uuskilled must accept doubtful
chances of employment in q marke
apparently overcrowded. Our fna
conviction is--that with the smooth
land of the West and the agricul
tural machinery of the day, farmirs
is the most pleasant, profitable anc
independent employment to be fonnt
for both skilled and unskilled work
ingmen.
In the way of coal the few vein
that exist are thin and the produc
taken up by local demands. In win
ter fair wages are made at mining
ard regular employment; in the sum
mer wages remain the same but tn
constsncy Of work is precarious. l
is hardly possible, therefore, that Goa
mining can ever reach the magnitude
there that it has attained here. Th
