I eay this, not for the purpose of Erweitening you "With " taffy," but to tell .you of your advantages that .you may govern yourselves accord- ingly, and be fully conscroueof ;the -respon- sibilities that rest upon you.. ... I have noticed that the painters' unions in various localities, from Maine to Cali- fornia, have been among the first to appre- ciate the principles and embrace theadvan- tages of the Effights of ,Labor. For -this, amongezither reasons, they have ,won my respect and challenged my confidence.. ' P Why are we called Knights of Labor ? • Because we have been chosen to champion Labor'e pause. To be a knight as to have an honor conferred, a Mark of distinction bestowed. We, therefore,,wheare Knights of Labor,. are expected to be the chief advocates and. defenders of Labor's cause, and to cover her: suffering children with our protecting shield. , To do this successfully we must exalt our senile to the :heights oE devotion and brace our nerves to the, tension of .fixed -resolve . The Mi8SiOn Of the -Knights of Labor covers a broad field, and carries along With it a submission to sacrifices, a determination to do, a willingness to suffer. . But it must net be predicated- that. Sad- rifices and sufferings are tebeever 6ur lot. True, many have suffered and will here-, after suffer for the °twee ; but remember, " the blood of the martys is the seed of the Church," and for every injury inflicted good., will come.

'So:• fligSwindling Operations. It is the custom in good railway manage- ment to carefully collect all scrap iron, • bothcast and wrought, and Bell it. At Fort Gratiot, opposite Sarnia, this work bas been done under the eye of storekeeper Wall, who had under him two clerks named M. Walsh and W. Whittaker, who had charge of the details of tbe business.: These clerks,- it would seem, have been doing business on their own /account with a Detroit junk dealer'the ' details of which have just leaked out. Their modus operandi seems to have been about as follows: When several carloads of scrap had been collected they would ship, say, two carloads to Wyandotte and as many more to Detroit. The Wyandotte consign- naents were the railroad company's share, and the rest was sold to the Detroit junk dealer, the money going into the pockets of Walsh and Whittaker, or at least not into the coffers of the railroad company. No traces were left on the books, way bills or elsewhere of the shipments to Detroit, and there is probably no way to find out how much of the stuff has gone hito the halide of the Detroit purChaser, er how much Waleh, Whittaker de' Co. got for it. In an evil hour for their nefarious pro- ject two cars got " crossed, ' as therailroad menBay, and reached wrong destinations, an investieation followed, -the- books -were called for and could not be found, and Vv hitta,ker and Walsh, taking alarm, skip- ped out for parts unknown. The result thus far has been the resignation of M. Martin, of the Junction, and •Mr. Eficken- bottom, of Fort Gratiot, while other heads are liable to fall into the basket at almost any moment. ‘' Bicle,Your time, children of labor, , - , ,i Toiling craftsmen, be of good cheer, For Time's weaving star -bright garlands ' ' For thy ditY of crowning pear. ., -.

The measure of profesi3ioisal and SCientifiC reputation, is the service done. The expression of the most graceful courteey is "Conamo,nd me - how can I serve you?" . "The phrase. of formal respect is "Your obedient servant." And yet, unaccountably, the very Service which ' friends do for each other, that the members of a family give in common if they happen to be poor in money, is absurdly oonoidered disgraceful, a personal dishonor, when performed for wages. The dishonor cannotcones in with , the pay. Minigere are paid, and doctors and scien- tists. The fact is ',that headicare.SO full ,of nonsense about the'se things thatit isbard to get at -the sound reamers whichwould eet them right.
