of the honest, industrious workman liz

seeks admission into a labor society does So

No question of interest Ia labor has eveI
been satisfactorily settled over a bar in a

LabOuchere in London Truth talks thus

Mr. Cook had the title of yiscOunt con
ferred upon him in Portugal in recognition
of his services TO that country. The serv-
ices as set forth i'll his patent, were intro
duCing Il new tree into the country. In
Portugal titles can be obtained even with
out services. One way is to hire or rent
for year a field attached to a certain con
vent, each tenant of the convent being en-
titled to barOny. Marshal Saldanha,
when Portuguese AMBASSADOR here. used t.
sell titles almost openly. Mr.. Cook ap-
pears to have been made an English baronet

bestOwing these name handles. Every
one who will subscribe largely to or found
a charitable or useful public institution
should be made q barunct. The barOnet-
cies cost nothing. the sir before the name
is as harmless as the esquire after it;
while, if money can be obtained for useful
purposes by allowing vainglOriOus persons
to use the prefix instead of the adjunct,
the more money that is raised i'll this way
the better. Chicago Tribune.

r There are three things, says Senator
HOar, and three things only, which make
up the republican policy, upon which all
republicans are agreed; three things in
which the republican party must live or
bear no life; three things ineXtricably
blended together upon which our national
life itself must depend; and they are, abSO-
late freedom Of the ballot, universally of
common school education, and the mainten-
ance and elevation of the wOrkingman'S :
wages. There are three things dependent
upon each other. Not one of this sublime
trinity can fail or perish, and either of the
other two survive.
