The Third ward councilmanic cleo

mayoralty contest. The reason for
this is that Mr.. johnson is eminently
fit for the place, while Mr.. Blake is
conspicuously unfit for it. The result
will demonstrate how far partissnship
has been driven from the municipal
elections. Mr. Blake was once heard
70 say that the inspectors did the elect

There is only one country in Europe
in which the wages OF labor are within
a half Of what they are in this country.
That is great Britain. Wages in Ger
many, France. Belgium, and Switzsr-
land are not one-third Of what they
are here. Those Of Italy are not one
quarter.
One duty OF Government is to pro-
tect the labor OF its citiz ans. Last year
chesp foreign labor was imported into
the United States in the shape of man

not average $50 a year, came into com.

workmen averaging less than Sil5 a

saving machines have become iubor drit'- mg machines; where education for the worker decreases his compensation and increases his misery; where the specula- tor who corners the grain sits in the front pew, while the farmer who has raised it sits in the back one; where war is considered ennohling, and peace ener- vating; where wOrkingmen spurn the press that defends them, and support that which insults them; where one who never bakes may eat hiS cake continu- ally and yet have more; where gold in the ground increaseth not, but in a bank vault considerably; where q milionaire's ability is of such peculiar character that whether carousing at home or do- ing the world in his steam yacht, whether an inebriate or an imbecile, his millions increase in due ratio;

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.

The session of the Central Labo
 Union last Sunday was enlivened by the presentation of the following resolutions sent in by the Excelsior Labor Club, an Assembly of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor;
 Whereas Public scandal has been cast upon Organized Labor by the acts of certain delegates to the Central Labor Union who have prominently identified themselves with or who have entered , into corrupt deals with the political par. ties of the capitalists which every honor able laboring man should sever his atfili- | ations with, therefore be it
 ResOlred, That the Excelsior Labor Club calls upon the Central Labor Union to request every labor organization from which it receives delegates to with draw any delegate who has thus out ragged the principles and constitution of | the Central Labor Union, and perjured himself by violating his solemn pledge upon the word and honor of man, and | who has thereby betrayed us into the | hands of our enemies-the trusts, mo- nopolies and capitalists-and hindered the economical measures urged upon the law making power by the Dec laration of Principles of the Central | Labor Union, which has ever demanded | the deftruction of the present iniquitous social and industrial system, under which wealth producers live in poverty and idlers roll in luxury, and be it | further
 Resolred, That the Excelsior Labor Club request the Central Labor Union to have this resolution sent to every la Dor organization under its control, and at the same time calling attention to the fact that unless the constitution and principles of the Central Labor Union are Loyalty obeyed and honestly carried out by their delegates, that the Central Labor Union had better suspend opera tions, or reorganze under new consti
 tuition and bylaws.
 An Investigating committee was ap- pointed to investigate charges preferred against certain delegates for having been implicated in the affairs of the bogus labor party, yclept "United Labor Party" and particularly it's interesting poodle developments.
 Thus the first step has been taken to purge the body of the ''capitalistic labor politicians" that infest the ranks of labor.

If that don't work then a number of the trade unionists and members of other labor organizations will draw the attention of their fellow workmen to the Socialist Labor Pary's claims unon them as the only labor party which has steadily conserved the interests of organ ized labor, There are still others who will endeavor to organize new labor party, and others who will stick to the plan of getting revenge by defeating the recalcitrant legislators at the polls should they be nominated for office again. Organized Labor will have to organize and unite and observe discipline in order to win.

 YOrk:
 "We, the undersigned citizens of the State of New Iork-and in accordance with the Declaration, Resolution and Proposed Amendments to the New York Penal Code of 1884, agreed upon by the delegated representatives of the labor organizations of New York State at a convention held at Troy in the month of September 1SSS-demand during the first session of your Legislature in 1889, the amendment of Sections l69, TO and 175 of the Penal Code and commonly known as the Conspiracy Laws and which were insiduOusly smuggled into the aforesaid Penal Code to the detri- ment of the industrial masses and with the intended result of making criminals out of honest wage earners.
 "We also call the attention of the Leg islature to the fact that over one hundred workingmen of this State are now being persecuted by indictments found under these tyrannical laws, which although re- pealed in monarchical England, remain on our Statute Books from British colo nial times as barbarous relics of the Dark Ages, and being therefore un- American in their origin and antagonis- tic to the progressive spirit of modern civilization, are not in harmony with the Declaration of Independence and the constitutional rights of American citi- zens."
