The member for Mastertonhns taken

up the defence of tba co-operative labourer before the House of Representatives, and in a a 'syiiipathetio speacli has maintained Mb.cuuso, It is gratifying to know that the advboaoy of the merabtr for Masterton in. this respect will not go unrewarded, as co-operative labourers will be likely to poll some hundreds of rotes

inbss behalf at the coming general eleotion,; • li\'e give tub following extract from the Hansard report of Mr Hogg's speeob: The co-operative laborer was very frequently Accused of intemperate habits; but lie would point out to lion, members that the conditions under whioh he worked were very different to the conditions of those who referred to them in these very disparaging tonus, The co-operative labourer, had no Bellamy's to fall bjiok upon, He had no restaurants and hotels to dine at, Be was exposed to Mu«h work i he had to .live in a

rough climate, living sometimes under canvas, and putting up with privations of a severe stamp; and that being the oiae, eeeing that many of these men, for lung terms at a time, had to live exposed to the inclemency "of the weather on a diet of meat and damper, was it any matter tor astonishment that when they did get into towns tbey wore ape to indulge too freely ? The co-operative labourer might not be so highly pducated as members of that House, but his necessities wore just aigreat, If he had a wife and ; family :on. the" borders of want, hi? hear);.,bled .for those relatives ajj,muo|i, hearti.of the wealthiest .maH;»mpngßt;fce<n7iffluld-.blßed if he saw dest'.tutioii staring in the faces of his He; would .-ask honourable members to tvy and ba'voa little apaik of humahity, for their felloe men who had to endure a severe climate, and work up to their knees in mud, He wgnldTa6k;,thera ; willingratherthan abje; t6-:perfdrm-he nrbuld ;:■ hot x,\o : calßthat 'ian?i-'^gaMa^Tdiiisblutft : who ajjiiini, -;W wonld 'remind ;'thpm;:of• tlra'priet's wordß," Jlau's inhumanity to man makbaqountless thousands'"mourn." jThey had now,good colonists,.but : epmCobem had pasiedthe prime of; npfcie.-th^ had become because' their physical cohdition was ;not;::»hat:;\}t'-:w«.io'inß ye'afs'agoi beneath thoir rags ;tjiMe men might De.c!eahi;_and'thej/3mighti'hs,ve senlimenta, quite as noble as thbso of any member "of that : meh.jwho [time enjoyed ; yery^'different^^'Bition^' hadt'fpught its beenminersi,\jrKo amount'in : tearing 61^r^_atoteiee^re;wttle^f^worBtQd! : in

co-operative* o labburers;" we rpad the member-.for. Masiertom Of course, we knew-tbat ihefe werfi;all.aoi'.3 and, conditiona p! men auidpgst- theni/ biit' description is evidently suggestive .of » dwtinpt and ;very-übdesirftblyype! We are asked'tp aympathise; with a man whose heart hleeds; for'a'-wife and faniily,on.the borders'of want; but whoon pay day spends hisi wages on a spree. Mr Hogg talks about man's inhumanity to man, but his sympathy sbould have been reserved for man's inhumanity to women and/children, who btarve while the'.husband and father gets drunk. The "member Tor Masterton asks the State to. help; the man who gets drunk on the money which pnght to buy bread for his wife and children. We regard this as a distinctly vicious proposal* and we would sooner Bee themember; for 'Masterton asking the State to help, the ingohildren and to punish the drunken parent. The other day laborer was locked up jhMnstertoh for drunkenness. He was. a : married man and a person, for whose intelligence wWhave a considerablerespect, but pught we to eympothiae^witb,him ? Most'certainly not K/And/wealmost question -whether-' lie -Would Accept suoh sympathy. The other day an old soldier whs relieved bv a" weelc's;employment in an hour of need, given by a Mastertoh resident.; When he got lub cheque be got tipsy and when hismoney was spent be stole whatever he could lay his bauds on, - A man like this might be shown to be au object of sympathy on the lines laid down by i the member for Masterton, bo for the matter of that might every man in ' gaol be proved a victim of adverse circumstances and eligible for humane intervention, Most people will be disposed to believe that State help nhould be reserved for the worthy and j that the unworthy must take the ■ penalty of their own misconduot, We i sincerely trust that the typical coI operative labourer'is not quite as bad 1 as Mr Hogg has painted him, If he is, ' we do not consider that he should be bolstered up with State help,

It is with great pleasure that we learn that Mr R. C. Bruce has con-! sented to be nominated as a candidate for the Masterton seat. He is a country settler of the best type, a good speaker, end a trustworthy political!. He will no doubt, in due course, speak for himself, and we feel sure that once he comes into touob with the electors of this district he will produce a very favorable impression.
