LABOUR AND LIBERAL ASSOCIATIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE PKESS. Sir, —I was amused to read in your Monday's issue of the late corroboree of Labour and Liberal organisations. I counted I thiuk a dozen ot good sounding titles, and I don't think that exhausted the list. It would be interesting to know just what is the real efficient strength of their formidable looking battalions, aud whether they do not

"Into a thousand parts divide one man, Aud make imaginary puissance," by the same noisy individuals appearing on the member-roll of ever so many Assemblies, Associations, Leagues, Unions, &c. But I am sure they were all true Labour Liberals, for the meeting appears to have tumbled to pieces, and nobody could tell exactly what they wanted there at all. After all it does nob usually take a great many politicians to get into a squabble. Only it is more interesting' to know that the great silent mass of the hardworking public, who think a good deal but never gabole politics, are no longer imposed upon by the loud sound of all those important looking appellations and beggarly accounts of empty boxes. They know that their material interests are the corpus vile on which all the rampant knots of political quacks would fain try their dangerous and destructive experiments. And they wiil take right good care tbat there will be no more of it.—Yours, Sec, A.C.
