Aside from this arbitrary rule which
we understand has been modified
somewhat in view Of sprospectiye ,ex-
posure of the infamy Of the combins-
tion,. the prices charged indiscSimi-
nately to rich. and poor, not only for
collins, but for attendance and for the
entire burial service constitute a hard
ship upon. the majority Of our people
which they are lily able to bear. The
common? instincts Of humanity, and
the promptings Of affection lead all
10 desire a respectable burial Of their
dead; and during the period 81 severe
affltC&ion none feel like rebellfng
against the abuses that are hesped
upon them at such a time. The OBJ
legations of the hour Of bereavement
are held sacred, and it is under these
circumstances that the people are i'm
posed upon by the unholy combina-
tionS to which they are subject, 'ao'
Having in view complete emsnci-
patton from these evils the local as
semhly of the Knights Of Labor some
time ago appointed a committee for
the purpose of securing a new ceme-
terry, and establishing Q new under
taking. establishment which shall
place respectable burial within the
meapsof the great mass Of the com
mon, people. That committee has
made all the preliminary: arrange
ments to insure the success Of the en-
terprise. 1t will, be carried forward
as rapidly as it can 1 possibly be done,
and If the people Will rally to the sup
port Of this committee, the relief con
templated Will be made available in
a very short time, and the abuses Of
which we, have only briefly made
mention, will be broken up. This is
q measure in which all good citizens
should be Interested, and we do not
believe that it will be necessary to
make any extraordinary effort to ip-
sure its support Further details
will be given to the public from. time
to time through the press, and any
information Immediately desired by
those who may be interested in the
subject, can be obtained by inquiry
at this office. n

The Capita1 insists that the prin-

based upon the ideas of Hamilton
and moi, Of Jefferson. .Thiai is un-
qpestiOnably correct, For once the
,Capitgl. ia right and we are glad TO
.sccord,it full credit for q true state-

idea and policy, and the, people can

the Philadelphia convention, Of 7S7,
called for the pprpose, of enlarging
the powers, of the general govern
ment and framing anew constitution,
Hamilton, on. the 18th Of June, said:
The general government must not only have .
strong soul, but strong organs by which that
soul ls cooperate. Idespair' that a. republican
form of government can remove the difficulties;
would hold IT, however, aRwlse to change 1t.
The best fOrna4O government, not attainable'b by
us. but the model to which we should approach
az near as possible, Is the, British constitution,
praised by Necker. as the only government which
'uniteS public strength with individual security.
Its House OfLords is,a most noble institution.

to the people. AN who have been

facts fromcwhich itmsy be- judged of
the necessity Of an, ,illl; imllme m mediste remedy.
We shall avoid the use Of names at

and that they, are actnated by the
