SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2G, 1889

Recent cablegrams announce that organisation is in progress with a view to further labour strikes, and the infec tion seems spreading in many directions. There is a decided danger of matters being pushed too far nnd too' rapidly with respect thereto. Those who know the hardships endured by large number** of the working classes at Home, wfl rejoice to hear of any improvement iv their position, but whilst labour is so wide awake to its own interests, capital must not be supposed to be asleep. The strikers deservedly enjoy a large share of public sympathy, but it must not be forgotten that there is practically an unlimited supply of labour available outside England, and it would be a sad thing if foreign labour were imported into England, as a result of pushing matters to a climax too rapidly. There can be no doubt capital can and will combine to protect itself, as well as labour, and on the Continent there is a large surplus of skilled labour available. ; '

By the Justices of the Pence Act, 1882, Amendment 1888, . powtr is given to postmasters gazetted for the purpose to receive statutory declarations. We understand that in one caso, at least, in a country district this power has been misunderstood, and an information for a criminal offence sworn before a postmaster. The error caused considerable annoyance to the parties. As a repitition of the mistake might happen, postmasters should understand that unless they are Justices they have no power to swear informations, or to usurp in any way the functions of Magistrates. They may, however, when gazetted, receive statutory declarations of the kind referred to in section 254 of the Act of 1882 ; but such is the full extent. of their powera. __
