It may be argued that capitalists have.
banded themselves together for this pur-ss
pose That Is IN IA measure true. but
two wrongs cannot make a ight. It's
for the worlsing1nen to see to it that there
is no legislation for the special advantage
of capital. !. Is to their vital interest,
as It Is to the interest Of our land OF
freedom, that the great corporations do
not control legislation and secure legis-
lative enactments which enable them to
swell their profits at the cost Of the
masses. It is for the masses to resist
all such legislation with their might, and
IL they stand together and resist 1t they
can prevent 1t. But If the workingmen
band themselves together to secure class
legislation they cannot consistently or
successfully fight class legislation for the
corporations.
We earnestly beg OF the intelligent ana
patriotic workingmen Of Virginia that
they will not put themselves in any such
attitude in this State. They are part
and parcel of the body polite and they
should stand courageously and with de-
termination for that sacred principle OF
Democracy, equal rights to all ana spe-
ciaI privileges to none. Let US nave 10

Inc BOSTON says.
The action taken by the Central Labor
Union yesterday in denunciation of those
members of the Legislature who voted
against the picketing bill. the direct-leg-
islation bill and the industrial amendments
to the subway bill, and proposing an or
Eanizcd movement among the wage
earners for the prevention of their re-
election, was wholly consistent with the
objects for which the union was estab-
i:shed. In saying this it is not meant
that we are in sympathy with the union
IN Its stand upon any of the measures
named. That is quite another matter.
But the fact is not to be brushed out OF
sight that the Central Labor Union is pri-
rnalily an organization OF wage-earners
and that it enters politics merely to fur
1her its distinctive purposes. Hence the
reported threatened concentrated political
action under the motto: Trades union
ism first and partisanship afterwards is
logical and, from the unions standpoint,
Nhe wise and proper thing to do.
We have several times Of late in Gener-
Gus spirit attempted to point out what
NE thought We're mistakes Of labor orga-
nizations. Here is another one. and one
of the most serious that these organiza-
lions arc making. It will not do for
the worlingmen of this country to form
themselves into class apart from 9th
er citizens. 1t is the pride Of our coun-
try that there are no class distinctions.
and it would be the worst sort of folly
for the workingmens Of the land to draw
any such line, putting themselves on one
side and other citizens on the other.
There are no interests of the working
men of this country which they do not
hold in common with other citizens. No
man liyeth to himself-no class of cit
liens in this country live to themselves.
The interests Of the workingmen of the
country, as that term is employed. are the
interests Of other men and the interests
of other men are the interests of the
workingInen.
The most dangerous thing in this gov
eminent of ours is class legislation. and
1t is reckless for the workingmen to set
tho example. II they bard themselves
together in the interest Of legislation pc
cul.ar to themselves, how can they com.
plain II capitalists band themselves to,

A REMINDER.

The Montgomery Advertiser in speaking
OF the manner in which the carpet-bag
Constitution was put upon the people of
Alabama. says:
The convention. principally composed
Of carpet baggers and negroes, was held
in the TALL of 1857 and a Constitution
framed. That instrument was submitted
to the people of Alabama at an election
held in February. 1858, and the same
class of men who framed it voted for
Its ratification, while the whites. the
real citizens Of Alabama refrained from
voting. It was required that a majority
OF the registered vote be case on the

question Of ratification or rejection. BY
refusal Of the whites to vote the Radl-s
Gals .werS compelled ato secure a maj ority
OF the registered vote for ratfica ton.
and In this they failed by severed thous-
and votes and General Meade himself
reported that the instrument had been
fairly rejected by the people. Neverthe-.
less. Congress declared that the mon
strous document had been adopted and
the people Of Alabama had to live under
1t till they were free to make q Constitu-
ton for themselves in 1878.
Yet there are pious Republicans at
the North who think it a great outrage
that the Virginia Convention decided to
proclaim the Constitution which had been
framed by the best representatives of the
people. Moreover, there was abundant
evidence that the great body Of whites
preferred that the Constitution be put
into effect through this single process.
