Human thought is the same in every age; indi.
vldua, and national thoughts and aspirations were
the same IN the days Of the Cesars as they are to-
day individuals rise to eminence, and fall, ex.
acty from the same motives, as they did in ancient
times Some one has said "the history of every ma
tion is but repetition of one page" and we can.
not expect to be exempted. We have risen high
In the scale of nations because our fathers builded
WE'LL but they could not eradicate the principles in
human nature, which undermine aud destroy all
nations. We build it on education.
Education was, and is, our strongest principle.
It' (as has been so often said) "is our only safe
guard" Blindly the Knights of Labor are working;
great many worthy citizens have joined this or
ganization, but they have been deceived Organ
lied with best Intentions instead Of bettering the
condition of the working men, they are, slowly,
but surely, making times harder for them.
This must be stopped; Knights Of Labor unions
of all classes must disorganize. Education is not
advanced by them; Legislation is not influenced in
any manner that would effect them, and there can
be no possible benefit derived from these erganiza-
tlons The working classes are spending zoo much
| time, too much money, and too many Of the best
hours of their lives in this useless attempt to con-
troll elections, legislation, ETC. There is foolish
false pride among the working classes which is the
cause of all this dissatisfaction Who can be an
admrer OF labor and true laborer himself, and
think it more honorable TO carry musket pixies or
ak, and for weeks, and even months, pass his
time idly demanding higher prices, shorter hours,
and all the various war-cries of his organization.

to work, and when times are hard, work the harder
knowing that honesty and frugality are sure to
meet their reward. Let working men dovote more
time to their homes, homelife and homeassocias
tions and they will be benefited more than all the
Knights Of Labor 0A do for them.

More and more in day moral issues ale
coming to the front in legislative bodies, and the
moral side ofquestions involving material interests
is more emphasized than other phases of these sub

Christian men to remember that on the one hand
that Christ's kingdom is not of this world, and or
