THE SOCIALISTS.
That lively paper that is published in Auckland as the "official organ of the Labour Party," has apparently no time or use for the Socialist. In its las* issue it said: — "Anyone who pictures the Socialist group as a noble, high-mind-ed, self-sacrificing group of comrades, with but a single aim and a, single thought working disinterestedly and without hope of reward for' a higher humanity, i* mightily mistaken. On the contrary, the very best lesson in the permanency of Competition is the constant war of the conflicting ego* that go to sia'k« up tbe groups. Their pitiful
dist mst of their Veaders, thou 1 contin eml accusing of each other of be'hirelings of tho Capitalists,' tjheir douunciationa of ono another as 'fakirs' and 'traitors' on tbo slightest grounds, their wholehearted and intense contempt lor each other, their mutually jealous bickerings, all show how foreign to human naturw brotherhood really is."
