Mr McLean, {lie belovect of tlio trades unions, Las spoken to the electors of Wellington, and what lie says possesses some interest as shewing what the working mm of the Empire City hope for, His platform is understood to be seven hours labor a day and affluence for llio worker. Unfortunately these tvrp .conditions of tlio lot of tho toiler are antagonistic, and the candidate who holds up both as an inducement for the working men to support him must he either .a knave or a fool, It would be perfectly honest to offer workers six hours a day and poverty, or ten hours a day and riches, or eight hours a day and comfort. But the man who works less than eight hours a day will never earn big wages, and if by legislation men tied themselves dpyn to work but seven hours a day tjjpjr ffould pass an Act of Parliament to kgpp tlj.eifisolyes poor, Many years ago we had" a neighbor, a working man, who was settled on a small bush section, Day after dayhe toiled his eight hours as a roadman and went home weary enough in tlie evening for his tea. But after tea he used to liven up and go out on his owj) Jaijd and for two or three hours, especially on rpooplight nights, fall a bit of bush or dig a'fc\y" post boles. This man averaged ten or eleven hours a day, &nd had he labored thus a few years hence, when no doubt it will bo criminal to worji for more than seven hours out of the tis»f,y-feur, ho would have beon sent to gaol spi} {ruined. But in these earlier days a worpjg man could sin like this and not even & boycotted, and what was the com seqaenco? Why he slowly but surely cleared his. section, and after awhile he sold out and bought a bigger pjaco up country, and now, instead of working qn'the roads, ho is a rich man ans pays i Jth'er people to work for him. And i fet there are peoplo 'jii $3 %jpjre j % soft enough to believe' Jfr ' UcLean's assurance that they will ( iccoine rich by the legislature i Jiortening their hours of labor, We ' iiiv ( o seeif s 'good many persons in 0 be .Colony become yicjj, but we i, ever knew oiie to obtain iVealfli ty v 'aiting for an Act of ParliamenVio filiate tno condition of the labor iHiiet, liflljj thftj Mndidatefl £

who deceive and mislead working men on plnhi matters of fact concerning work and wages deservo no niei'oj, and should be regarded as public enemies. That thousands of working men liave been misled and deceived during the past few months is uiideniablo. Hundreds were told that if they struck work victory was assured to them, thousands were informed that if they contributed strike pay their cause would conquer, l'he hundreds and the thousands now- find lliey have been betrayed and deceived by their own leaders, and if after this they are weak and foolish enough to listen to fresh promises, and believe in new pledges, they will deserve the.further trouble that will come upon them,

The ohampion puzzle has at last appeared in the columns of our local contemporary.. .Itis on the election candidates and is far more profound than " the Chicago Tenser." The following is the problem literatim ad verbatim "Unless the information that readies us is moat unreliable the fact of Messrs Hogg and McCardlo goinp to tlio poll will not materially weaken the liboral vote, The liberals-were taught a good lessan at the last general election in this district, aud, when tlio polliuEj day arrives ihoy aro no|l/kely to throw their votes away, as they would undoubtedly do did they allow one vote to neutralise anotlior," The puzzle is answered by showing how Messrs Hogg and MoCardle can bothgo to the poll without neutralising votes, and we are . quite prepared to offer a suitable reward to any one who can solve the conundrum.

The special train arrangements for show clay (October 28th) appear in our advertising columns. A new advertisement from Mr R Hermann (late of Connolly and Hormann) 1 'Wellington, appears in another column. Messrs M Casolberg & Co. announce that they havo just landed, ex Aorangi, a large and varied assortment of firstclass fishing tacklo. Messrs Ballingor Bros,, of Waring Taylor strent, -Wellington, intimate through our columns that they are solo manufacturers 1 for the colony of Sherman's patent closet or commode. The hearty thanks of tlio Masterton School Comroitteo lias been passed to Dr Hosking for his munificent gift of scientific apparatus for tho benefit of scholars. Freezing works are to be established bv Messrs Nolson Bros, at Woodville, The representatiyo of that firm recently visited Eketalrana, and - received promises of oxtensiyo support from that part.

Miatua is gaining for itself an unenviable notoriety for sensationalism When nothing else startling is about, libels are floating in the air. The Pahiatua Star is now throateiied with a "squasherl"

The fortnightly stock salo of Mr F H Wood will be hold at his Taratahi yards to-morrow. Tho list will embrace all kinds of sheep, dairy cows, steers and heifers, calves, otc, Mr D. Asher, of Wollington, has opened in the shop opjjosito tho Club Hotel with a large variety of Japanese tables, oabinots, fancy baskets, plated ware, oleograph pictures, jewellery ote, which will be.sold at less than cost price. It was stated at the meeting of tbe Masterton Sohool-Comitaitteo last eyon-. ing that a child ton years of age, whiuh was living with its grandmother in the town, was being illtreated and prevented from attending school; The Secretary -was instructed to put into operation the compulsory clauses of the Act, Complaints bave beon made that children attending the Masterton public school ha"e. been compelled to procure new books when passin? from one standard to another. Mr Jackson states, however, that this is a misoonception, Books may be handed from one child to anotlior, provided that they are intact. A special meeting of the Masterton School Committee was held last eveniug, whon, after some discussion, the tender of Mr 6 M Wood (at £l2s per month), was accepted for cleaning latrines and providing dry earth, for tho ensuing twelve months,

Tho Arab stud horso "Ktilipha" is now advertised by Mr G. Freeth, of Featherston, as being at the service of broeders and horseowners. Kalipha, besides being exceptionally well bred, is a very handsome horse of dark bay colour with blaok points, In constitution, mako and Bhape, and in all stcrliug qualities which so to mako a good horse, 110 will bo hard to heat. He is also extremely pood tempored. The notification in another column gives all particulars regarding him. The achemo of" Gonoral.'-' Booth for reclaiming tho massos, outlined in our cablos of to day, is at least novel. He proposes that city farms be established for tho purpose of training cottiers lor the colonies, From, a colonisation point of view this may be all very well, and a considerable amount of may be accomplished, but spiritually-speaking, wo cannot see how tho people's souls are going to be saved by placiny them on sections of land. Perhaps tlie" Gonoral " will explain this point later on. Mr Justice Williams, of Melbourno in ordering that a young man, who had entered a houso for tho purpose of pbtainin? fpod whilst in a state of starvation, bo' let" out 'on probation, said" I have still sufficient humanity left in me to mako me thiuk, that if a dostitute man when pinched with hunger steals a loaf of bread, or being destitute steals food lor the sake of his starving wifo and children, the imposition of asovore sentence in suoh cases ia inhuman, and the confining such a person in a penal establishment whore 110 may have to herd.'with confirmed criminals is, if pos»ible, to bo avoided, and I repeat that if a man so circumstanced can resist the temptation to steal food, he must be in its highest aengo a i]pa| hpro," Since the conimencemept qf tl)o season notwithstanding untoward circmiietniioo which liavo retarded tho usual oxpnnsion of business, our dross anil droMiinaklnu departments liavo been well patronised by tho ladies of Wellington.
