The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1890.
This labor, party of this colony is composed of two ranks, a front rank which talks much aud works little, and a rear rank which works muob and talks little. For the rear rank we bavo a profound regard, an honest admiration, but of the former wo are not enamoured. Wo would like to see the labor party of this electoral district put ono of its roar rankuien up. as a. candidate for
Parliament. If this party desires to , bo directly represented in the IJouso i why should it not return a real i genuine laborer instead of a sham, i Js there not within the length and broadth of the district a working man, a genuine bornj-lianded customer, with a level bead- and an honest purpose who could bo picked to stand for the seat ? It might be said that such a man exists, but that he cannot afford to contest au election. This, however, is not a valid objection, Tho working man, if returned, would get £2OO a year lor his parliamentary work, and as for the expense of a contest, wo y/ourd like to have the opportunity, and so would a liutidrefjotlipr people, of subscribing towards tho coat of a genuine working man candidate. .We have little sympathy with shams. If a pick or shovel were placed in the hands of one of the labor candidates to whom wp have been accustomed in tho past, he would be dead beat in about twenty minutes, and before his tirst hour was up, ho would probably boat a retreat in the direction of Splgnion's Temple in order ; to recuperate, But a genuine working man, who could do his eight hours straight on end, turning out his work ship-shape and Bristol fashion, this js tho sort of candidate who would really Jpt thepublio in Now Zealand know what it Is {hat tho workiug man requires, We are tired. ot listoniug to demagogues who will say anything and everything. They have spoken enough, but the real working man has notyetcominenced te speak. We may get some sort of a notion of him in the manifestos of labor unions, but even here there , are wire pullers and'sohemers who push themselves to the front aud insist upon speaking for him. The real true workman keeps very much hi the background, but everybody knows that ho is thoroughly trust- , worthy, and why should he not be brought to the front by a labor party. What may l).e called thy "blather. • skite pattern" in elections, is pretty j well played out. Will the labor party, which is said to be organising, andtkeis uoreWafltyit should
not organise, give tbo public as the fruits of its now disciplino and enrolment a real genuine labor candidate wbo will be worthy of the great labor cause, a cause whioli has been draggedthroughtho- mud aud be■littltd by specious charlatans, who knew little, abdnt it and care loss.'
The Education Bard said it did not approve of the school site
selected by the Masterton Committee, but. would r tako it if the Committee would comply with a certain condition, The Committee won't comply with the condition, the Board wonlt purchase, and the second school won't be built, All this is as plain as a pikestaff, and the Committee, by tbo position it is tailing up, is simply killing tbo proposod new school for a further torm, Probably we may get a third and last chance of building it in another year or two, but to
throw away the presont one is an inoxcusablo ac 1 ; of lolly and stupidity.'
An anonymous correspondent in the columns of our local contemporary j insinuates that Mr McOardlo stood j for the Woodville seat at the last general election in the interests of the Beelham party. We presume our contempotary endorses this statement, or he would not publish it without couimont, but we always thought that Mr MoCardlo tranforred bis Candidatare at the last election to Woodville, by the advice and in the interests of Mr A, W. Hogg. If so our local, contemporary shtfild not misrepresent bis action as he appears now to bo doing.) : ".';
