inc a. r. =. Convention.

The next regular convention OF the
American Federation of Labor will Be
held in Birmingham, Ala, on Dec. IL.
President Gompers in his call urges upon
affiliated unions the necessity of having
full attendance at the meeting. Among
other things in the call is the following:
On every hand we find organization
n combination on the part of those
who own or control wealth, and using
their possessions to crush out the liber-
ties, to stifie the voice and pervert the
rights of the toiling masses.
While 1t is true that many attempts
have been made to grapple with this con-
dition of affairs, puny and futile have
been the results. These combinations
can only be successfully met and COPIED
with by a compact and thorough or
ganization of the wage working classes
of u country. The more thorough our
organization, the more complete our rep
resentative capacity in the conventions
the more we will demonstrate to the
world our fitness to grapple with this
Nineteenth century phenomenon.
The whole cause of humanity appeals
to us to be true to the mission of our
class, N to help in the never ending
contests for reform, justice and right.
The perpetuity of the institutions of our
country, the freedom of the citizen and
the man, the burdens Upon the shoulders
of our sisters, the cry of the young and
innocent children for relief demand of
us to do all in our power, to exert every
effort we are capable of, to bring about a
condition of affairs more rational and
humane, and relieve us from the stigma
ofcarelessness, indifference or negligence
of these great wrongs by which we are
surrounded.
1t is for the above reasons that we
urgently appeal to every organization
entitled to representation at the owen
tions of the American Federation of La
Dor to be thoroughly and fully repre-

A striking feature of labor legislation
in Victoria is the board of Cancellation,
which was established in 1887. This
grew out of the employers union, found
ed two years before. The latter was an
organization of employers for the pur-
pose of securing for themselves the same
advantages of united action in industrial
conflicts as they had observed in the
unions of their workingmen. In a short
time it had a membership of over 300.
including the leading firms of almost
every industry represented in the colo
ny. In the beginning at least the exist
ence of this organization alongside the
powerful unions of laboring men had q
fortunate effect, and it was declared in
1887 that the meetings and discussions
that had taken place between the repre-
s~entatives of these two bodies had i'm
proved the relations between masters
and men in a marked degree and had
prevented six great strikes which were
threatened.
Thence resulted the board of concili-
alton, composed of nine members from
each of the two organizations, empow-
cred by the government with the right
to summon witnesses and examine them
on oath, though having no power to en-
force its decisions beyond the moral
obligation resting on every member of
either union to accept the judgment of
their common representatives. In fact,
as all testimony in disputed cases was
taken in public, the board of Cancellation
really resolved into a sort of way of as
certaining public opinion and enforcing
it. For a long time this institution was
thought to be an almost infallible device
to prevent strikes, but under it, as our
readers know, n of the most gigantic
and bitter strikes ever known has lately
been fought through.-New York Times.

Good looks are more than skin deep,

be disordered you have a dyspeptic look
and If your kidneys be affected you have a
pinched look. Secure good health and
you will have good looks. Electric Bit

Something as lost
when you use DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's Catarrh. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing, and healing properties.
No matter how bad your case, or of
how long standing, you can be cured.
Incurable cases are rare. It's worth
$500 to you, if you have one. The
manufacturers of DR.. Sage's Remedy
are looking for them. They'll pay
you that amount in cash, if they
can't cur you. It's a plain square
offer from a responsible business
house, and they mean it. 1t seems
too one-sided, too much of a risk.
1t would be-with any other medi-
cine behind it. 1t only goes to prove
what's been said !: incurable cases

Remedy.

the name of "softs." These were equivalent
TO the "hunkers" and ''barnburners" of New
York politics of that time. The 'hunkers"
were Polk Democrats who leaned towards
the South ndEwere said to "hunker" for

In his "reminiscences of Hannibal Hamlin

speaks OF the bitter fight waged upon Mr..
Hamlin by the wing of the Democratic party
which sympathized with slavery. Mr.. Perry
says that James w. Bradbury was not op-
posed to Hamlin in the contest of 1876. and
that Bradbury twas finally elected to the
United States Senate by Mr.. Hamlin's aid
after Hamlin had found that he could not
himself get the aid of the prc-slavery wing
of his party. Mr.. Perry declares that Ham
lin might have had this aid had he been will
ing to make promises demanded of him by
this faction. This accords perfectly with a

The Belfast Age AYERS that drunkards
have no trouble in getting liquor in Port
land under prohibition. Well, supposing
they do not, are they going to have any more
trouble under license? Men who offer
substitute for an existing system are bound
to do something more than show that that
system is not entirely successful; they are
under obligation to make it reasonably prob
able that their substitute will do the work bet
ter. This, however. the advocates Of license
fail to do. The people Of this State are
not so welded to prohibition that they would
not prefer better method of suppressing
the drink evil. But the mere fact that men
get drunk in spite of prohibition is not likely
to be sufficient to induce them to try licens-
ing men to sell rum, any more than the fact
that men steal in spite Of the prohibition of
stealing is likely to induce them to license
some men to appropriate other mems goods.

fine, he may be sentenced to either or botn.
We are bound to say that this statute af-
fords ample authority for the discretion which
was exercised; and it will afford the same
ample authority to any other justice to exer-
else the same discretion. 1t still remains.
therefore, for the judge to determine wheth-
er the convicted rumseller shall go to Jail or

doubt that the legislature intended to make
it obligatory on the court to impose both
penalties.
