IT is source of much encourage ment and qualification to find so many of the press and politicians of Connecticut now endorsing the meas ures presented by Labor Reformers
 in the Legislature, which but a few years ago were considered and de- nounced as the schemes of "dema- gogues," or the dream of "incapables. /" Verify, 'there is nothing succeeds like success" and the fortitude of sticking to the text amid all vicissi- tudes. Now we have Committee on
 Labor without the asking, while here tofore eything asked by Labor was denied with contempt. But we shall see whether this is tub thrown to the angry whale to appease his wrath while the harpoon Is effecting its deadly purpose. We shall see what disposition will be made of the Ten Hour bill, the Convict Contract bill, the Weekly Payment bill and the most important of all-the Secret Ballot bill, when it comes to a proof of this new found affection. And yet we will not be surprised to see some
 of those same advocates of Labor again advocating the cause of the

THE KNIGHTS A4VD
 POL//ICS.

IN our issue of last week was in- serted an article found going the rounds of the Labor press, and which We headed "The Knights of Labor vs Politics." In the same issue was to 10 appers a short review on the points involved, but attention to other mat ters caused the subject to be forgotten and the article went in unsigned. This even was unnoticed until our attention was called to it by correspond ents asking the authorship. We now proclaim the article as an extract from the late report of General Sec retary- Treasurer Frederick Turner of the Knights of Labor.
 It Is rather a strange piece ot req soning and perhaps underta kes to make distinctions where there are no differences; yet withal, from a practlc- al point of view we believe MT. Tur- ner to be nearer right than otherwise. The reasoning that will apply to some workingmen will uot apply to all. There ought to be no necessity of di- viding the Labor question into differ ent functions" for there can be no consistent separation between the so- called industrial and the political as poets of the movement. The main object in view is the getting by Labor what to Labor belongs therefore, as Labor is robbed by the Politician as we'll as by the Employer, there should be no hesitation in assailing the one any more than the other.
 But there is something to the great mass of the working people which those not intimately moving among them are not apt to detect. It is sympathy far ahead of a readi- ness to act. They will kn0zO much sooner than they will do, and any at tempt to hurry them along generally results in driving them the other way. They will agree that. thus and so are proper things to do, and the world ought to be the better for having them done; yet, at the same time they are not ready to embark in the enterprise where party associations are to be severed in consequence.
 This must be the point in view in the Secretary's review of the situation and it is point which many other reflective minds in the movement have also detected. Whether this arises from any defect in the method of or ganization not providing for the emer- gency, or whether it could be over. come in any case, we know not; but certain it is that some means should be provided for those already capable of the political function to exercise it, and not be condemned to the dry rot of neutrality while the others art being educated.
 AS fast as recruits are sufficiently vel drilled they should~be assigned to ac tive duty in the field, for there are splendid fighting opportunities fol them all along the line.
 In pursuance of this idea, Connec ticut reformers have already launched another organization into existence one that is to apply its energies to the study and practice of the "politicaI function" only, while the sanctuary of the K. of L. is left to grapple with the "industrial;" and as training school for broader action.

A CHURCH WHICH DOES BELIEVE IN
 THE DISCUSSION OF LABOR
Hartford-1SS6
QUESTIONS,

A correspondent in a late number of THE EXAMINER criticises as very unsatisfactory the efforts that ministers are making in different parts of the country to solve the labor problem, and says, ''If they would invite labor reformers into their churches and hold arguments with them before the congregations, there would be some chance of enlightenment
 We'll, this is the very thing that.at least is doing, and has been doing for long time. The Rev. MT. Kimball of Unity church, on Pratt St. has class in Good Citizenship every Sunday noon, where all the great practical questions of our time, relating to Society and State. and the great du.ies of man to man are systematically taken up and discussed. All interested in them, whether belonging to his church or not, are invited to participate. Mir. Kimball presents the subject briefly, in the light of all the knowledge he has been able to gather upon it: and then gives the fullest opportunity for others to present their views, and give additional light. The most radical as we'll as the most conserva- tive opinions are welcomed, the only con- dition being that of good nature and brevity; and the aim is not to settle anything dog matically, but to get it's bearings, wake people up to it's importance, and set them to thinking. To those who have attended them, these meetings have proved exceed ingly interesting; but the labor reformers do not avail themselves of the opportunity MT. Bray asks for, and are very rarely present at these discussions.
 Before criticising the clergy further for not giving them chance to answer back, would it not be we'll for them to use the excellent opportunity, which is now so freely and cordially opened to them?
 The basis of this church is widely differ ent from that on which most churches stand. It is dedicated especially to human brotherhood, and to the building up of the kingdom of God here on earth. 'It is called Unity'' to quote the words of the pastors dedication service, "because it stands, not only for the unity of God, but for the unity of Man,-all parts of his nature, all classes of society, and all the interests of human life." It is to be used, not for worship only, but for everything which can uplift, refine, and bless the com munity, counting nothing secular that saves, and nothing unholy that helps. It welcomes within it's hospitality all reforms, all pleadings for the common interests of humanity, all the helpfulness of science, letters and art,-welcomes especially the advocacy of temperance, education civil equality, political morality, and the right of labor, and of sex.

IT IS SOMEWHAT fattering to our naional pride to know that the great Irish leader, the wise and patriotic Parnell, derived his first lessons as to human rights and freedom from his American mother, who instilled into his youthful mind a hatred of tyranny and oppression of every kind.

DIFFICULTY IN MAKING A MILLION.

DIFFICULTY IN MAKING A MILLION.
 Millions are talked about glibly in these times without a clear understanding of the enormous sums represented by the $50,- GOO, 900 left by Cornelius Vanderbilt, the elder, or the $2OO.OOO,O 900 left by Wm. Il. Vanderbilt to his sons. A Chicago preach CT helps me to realize the magnitude of such fortunes by noting that if Cornelius Vanderbilt had been born at the beginning of the Christian era and had saved S25, ,O0O year ever since, he would not yet have made his fortune to $50, ,OOO, ,oo0; and that if Wm. H. Vanderbilt had been a con- temporary of Adam, and had saved at the rate of S25, ,OOO per annum. he would still have been far short of his $20O, ,OO0, 900 at the time of his death, and would still have had to toll and save for 2, 115 years in the future before amassing his fortune of S200, ,0O0, ,0O0.-Ex.

True, 'tis strait aud thorny road And fellow-workmen tire and faint; But they forget the Labor Press, Which overwork put to restraint. The Labor Press, her matchless power Is ever new and ever young, And firm endutes, while months and years Their everlasting circles run. From thee, the overfowing spring.

WORDS FROM THE WORKERS.

MIR. EDIToR-I thought could not afford to take your paper this year, but the fact is, do not see how can do without it. I consider it a valuable friend to the workingman. I hope the publishers will get enough subscribers this year to enable them to print it on more substantial paper, as great many of the articles are worth preserving. I will try and do what can to this end. Enclosed find Postal note for $1 % for 'S6.
 Yours Very Respectfully,
 WILLIAM DIXON.
 Mount Pleasant, Isabella Co.,, Mich.
 Thanks to MT. Dixon for words and act. If others nearer home, and for whose especial service THE EXAMINER was launched into existance and kept afoat for years, would betray the same interest in its welfare, there would have been less reason for the economy practiced in it's make up. But we are not disposed to find fault with anyone, believing that ALL act as inspired by sonnet hing which controls them, rather than they controlling the something. Even the sEUnion printer" who will demand of Labor association who fights his battles that it pay the highest wages, and pay that weekly, or be denounced as ''rat'' and skinner" while hs feels under no obligation to assist that association in SD doing, can also fit wit hin the space of this construction. h. consideration is the handspring of many inconsistencies that are taken as arising from other sources.f ED.
