, A Plea for the Masses.

The true end Of taxation is to pay
necessary ubiicfexpenditure. Ran
dali once said, "when the hand OF
the tax gatherer passes from public
to private uses, it becomes the
robbers hand"
Common school education is a
public necessity. The peculiar
organization of our government
renders universal education not
only desirable but well nigh indis-
pensable. ...... ..
To secure universal education
an efficient system of public schools
is essential. Whatever want col
leges may fill they never have, and
never can reach the masses, the
bone and sinew; the real supporters
of the government. The State has
acted munificently in her endowment
of colleges, but stinginess is too
feeble a term to characterize her
conduct toward common schools.
Sixty-seven cents per student.
At an average of five years attend
ance the whole cost to the State is
slightly over three dollars.
1t requires no argument to show
how worthless the present system of
free schools is. We oneed change.
We must have it. The people have
a right to demand better things, and
they do, and woe unto the man that
heeds it not.-K Kosciusko Star.

National Bureau OF Labor:

Under this bill, which was sign
ed by the President June 9Th, the
bureau becomes an adjunct Of the
Interior Department. An approp,i-
alton of $25,000is given. Tie sp-
pointments to be made are a com
missioner. by the President, and a
chief clerk, by the Secretary. All
other work will be that OF experts,
and they are TO be made by the Sec
retary, on the recommendation Of
the commissioner. The compare
lively small amount of the appro-
priation will render it impossible to
do this year any large amount of
investigation, as there will be room
rent, printing, correspondence, cop
yist, ETC., to- pay for. The bureau
is authorized to Inquire into mat
ters relating to wages, hours, wom-
en- and child labor, imported con-
tract labor, such as that of the
Italians, SIavonians, Hungarians
and Chinese now brought here in
gangs. The commissionship ques-
tion is now to be settled There Il
great interest felt among the lead
ers of labor Organizations as to the
nomination President Arthur will
make. The principal persons
named among men Connected with
the labor movements are r. Y.
Powderly, General Master Work
man of the Knights Of Labor. and
till recently for several years Mayor
of Scranton, Pa; John Jarralt,
former President of the AmaIgama-
ted Association OF Iron and Steel
Workers (42,000), of Pittsburg;
Richard Trevehek, of Detroit; G. W.
Blair, Of the New York Trades As
sembly, and David Healv, assistant
to the Commissioner Of Labor Sta
tistics, New York. Carroll ID.
Wright, of Massachusetts, Chief Of,
that States Bureau, is also named.
Powderly has been urged by tie
monthly journal of his order, and by
a large number of district assem-
blies, but in no way by the knights
of Labor, collectively. The Repub-
lican and Administration feeling is
believed to favor Jarrett, who has
not put in any application. Pow

over the veto. Three Republicans
voted for the bill, Messrs. Hoar,
Pike and Sewall, and later Jones, OF

may do some good to certain persons

more damage by 100 to l in one
