THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Pkuii.s At The Ponr.s. Democracy needs, in fact, to be on its guard against its weakest point, which is a happy-go-lucky laissez faire habit of leaving things to somebody else. As naturally as sparks fly upwards, so do the fiery, turbulent spirits in trade unionism attain executive control. They are the fellows who impress the majority of their associates, and they get elected to more or less responsible positions. This happens often enough by the sheer force of general inertia, but the unhappy tendency liecomes immensely aggravated when there is, on the part of a, small but well-organised and 1 subsidised minority, a deliberate conspiracy to seize the reins. —By an Old Stager.
