WHY THY Oppose ELAINE.

In recent issue the Boston Herald ur-
dertakes to give in detail all the reason.
why the Independent Republicans reject III,
tattoOed ticket 1t is q scathing and bitter
article, and leaves no ground for the Plumed
Knight to stand on. The Independents
have simply asserted their right of Judge
ment uninaueuced BY party trammels.
They hold the nomination of Mr. Blaine
was one unfit to be made, and therefore
unfit to be supported. This to say the
least, is logical and to the POint. At the
very beginning the Independent leaders
took the ground that conscientious and
honest men could not indorse Mr.. BrAIxEs
political career. With theirviews Of proper
methods in politics, and the true ends Of
Government, thew are unable to vote for
such a candidate If a man is to be called
Pharisee for adhering to his honest con
uetions, what shall be said Of those who
stfe their convictions and pocket their
principles at the heck Of loud-lunged cabal
of partisan ringsters2 Parties exist as
means, not ends-as instruments to work
with, not as the final result. Continues the
Herald:
With the professional party follower,
everything tina, succeeds is success. With
the citizen whose only interest in parties is
TO secure decent politics aud good govern
ment, much that succeeds is worse than a
failure. His interest in party success is to
secure reduction Of burdensome and IN
necessary taxes upon the necessities Of the
people; to extend and perfect the reform in
the Civil Service; TO maintain an honest and
stable currency, and to continue the safe
traditional policy Of minding our own bust
ness and avoiding either entangling al
hances or oficious intermeddhng in the at.
fairs of other nations. Neither Blaine nor
Logan represents the views and wishes Of
large body Of Republicans and independent
voters upon these and other important
questions. Why should any man vote the
way he does not think ifs better alternative
is offered to him? Should not an honest
mans vote represent principle rather than q
prejudice, and conviction rather than. cow
ardice2 In addition to these public consid-
erations, It remains to be said that Mr..

KNIGHTS OF IABoR IN CONVENTION.

The convention of the National Assem-
bly of the Knights of Labor viii meet in
Philadelphia to-day. This is the most i'm
portant labor organization in the country.
Its influence is the outgrowth Of the ele-
waited purpose which dominates it and the
ability and conservatism Of its policy. 1t
does not directly take part in politics, nor
does it promote iIlconsidered strikes. 1t IS
dominated BY the better element among the
workers, and so seeks the best good OF all
rather than to promote temporary excite
ment. II has Of late established an insur-
snce feature to its membership, which
cheaply iusures the lives Of
It's people. But its main pur-
pose Is IL unite the labor,
ing element and elevate it by dissem
minating just views Of the rights and privi
leges Of labor. In doing this it does no
antagonize employers or capitalists. IL
rather contributes to good feeling between
the two, and seeks to promote the benefit Of
both by bringing about a mutually good
understanding. Various efforts have been
made to invoke it in errors which have
wrecked other labor organizations, but these
have uniformly failed. 1t has chosen rather
to lose members than to be drawn ava,
from its real mission, And tn,
wisdom of its policy is seer
in the fact that despite with
drawals it has steadily gained in strength
and moral influence until at last it is or
ganized as the great labor organization
the country And it shall rigidly adher'
to its mission-to elevate and improve tn
working classes-it will deserve the good
will OF the entire community. We canno
have the people too intelligent or mora
And a great organization that labors for
this is a blessing not only to its members
but the country at large. The Knights o.
Labor meet this idea

The English p. o. Department

The English Postoffice Department is far
ahead Of ours in some respects. The postal
savings bank established in 1861 has re,
eeived in penny and six penny contribu-
tons something like g, 600, 900, 0eO.. This
department also effects life assurances and
snnuities. BY paying a penny a week be-
tween the ages OF fifteen and sixty person
is entitled to an annuity Of 81 after reach
ing the latter age. Such small savings and
small profits would be despised in this coun-
try, but it is quite likely that something
similar, though on larger scale. will some
time be adopted here. With the masses
Government savings banks and annuities
would be very popular.
