Ono for All. All for One"

Mr.. s. L. Leffingwell is contributing
a valuable series of articles on "The
Trades Union Movement" to the Am
erican Federationist In the paper
published in the June number of that
periodical he reviews in part the his
tory Of organization of labor in differ
ent nations, and then concludes with
the following statements of fact and
forecast of the future, which prove that
he, too, is thoroughly convinced that
what we call the American idea" must
and will rule the world:
And all this has developed, certain
ly within the last half century. 1t Is
not strange; 1t has only been keeping
pace with the progress of development
In all other phases of civilization.
Within that period, Turkey, the most
ancient of empires, whose dominions
extended from the Austrian borders
around the Mediterranean coast to AL
geria, has lost all its outlying prov
inces and Is itself on the point of ex
tinction; Spain has lost her colonial
power; Japan, from an isolated land of
chrysanthemums and flowers, has be-
come a conQuering power; Africa,
which had only been touched with the
finger Of white civilization, has been
explored and is being divided among
outlying nations; Germany, with 20
thought Of going abroad, has acquired
immense colonial empire; Australia,
group of disconnected states, is now
about to federate; Brazil, a powerful
empire, has become republic; the tel
ephone was toy and electricity was
as commercial power;
the long era that had begun when the
horse was first reduced to the service
of man is approaching its end. Forty
years ago the world was half barbar-
ous, living in moral and social anarchy.
The whole attitude of man toward So
ciety and toward the universe has rad
cally changed. The principle of evo-
luton has colored our later thought.
The conception of society as an organ

Our Broken Walls.

Over q winding, wayside wall,
Ragged and rough, and gray,
There crept tender and clinging vine.
Tireless day by day.
At last its mantle of softest tint
Covered each jagged seam;
The struggling wall. half broken down,
Became. with that leafy, tinted crown,
Fair as an artists dream.
o for the kindness that clings and twinas
Over lifes broken wall,
That blossoms above the scars of pain.
Striving to hide them all!
o for the helpful. ministering hands.
'sBenefcent, willing feet.
That spread rich nantes of tender
thought
Der life's hard places, till Time has
wrought
Its healing-divine, complete.
-Lanta Wilson Smith.

Organized Labor at the Paris Exposition
At the Paris exposition of 1900, for
the first time in the history OF such
International displays, will be an ex-
hibit of the history, mode of organiza-
ton, aims and work accomplished by
trade unions in America. All branches
of organized labor in America are be-
Ing asked to contribute data. The ex-
hibit will make the influence of the
american idea" stronger in every part
Of the foreign world than 1t now Is.
1t will appeal, not to men OF war and
destruction, hit to the agents OF peace
and construction. 1t will appeal to all
the great minds of the world who will
be gathered next year on the banks OF
the Seine. 1t will eloquently tell its
story to millions of toilers, who will
read, mark, and learn that the union
ever more and more clearly shines
forth as the one social institution,
evolved by working people themselves,
for the maintenance Of internal order
and the securing of that just share OF
the industrial product upon which the
possibility of evolving a higher and
better civilization depends.

Among other things Rawei

The natives themselves have sew

subject, all more or less interest

Ngahue TIE Kupe, native
priest, living on an island called
Hawaiki (supposed by Europeans
TO be Hawail), incurred the dis.
pleasure OF the ruling chief and
was compelled to flee for his life /;
securing canoe and stocking it
with provisions, he padded out to
sea, leaving home and friends as
he imagined for ever, and was
mourned as dead by his sorrow
ing relatives; but many moons
later, to the intense surprise of
the islanders, he returned with a
glowing account of a wonderful
country he had discovered. In
graphic language he described its
huge forests, it's burning noun.
tainsy its steaming lakes, and
gigantic bids. His story caused
the widest excitement among the
inhabitants, who now regarded lie
Kupe as q god, and preparations
were at once made to explore this
land OF narvels. Seven large
canoes were constructed and nam
ed as follows:
The Aotea, Arawa, Tainui, Ma
ta-Atua, Takatumu, Tokomaru and
Kurahaupo. These were laden
with provisions and water, and a,

turous party, guided by Te Kupe
