We have carefully watched Mr Powderly.s cause and we think he has displayed admirable qualifications for the position. His prudence and caution have saved the order at times, from serious difficulties. He may make mistakes but is it wise or prudent to call attention to such mistakes in the public prints, that the enemy may rejoice over them? Should not his errors be pointed put to him in a private and brotherly think so. Be careful brethernFault-finding and advice are both cheap, but do not parade too much of it before the puqlic. We want our old veterans to assist us in making their department of this paper spicy and interesting.

Convict Labor. As the legislature is now in session let every friend to labor take a stand and urge the enactment of a law prohibiting the use or contracting of convict labor. This is one of the greatest acts ol injustice to honest labor that was ever perpetrated. The idea of a thief who has stoleu your horse, being brought to Leavenworth and hired to a corporation to take the place of an honest man and throwing him out of employment, is an injustice to say nothing of the price of labor. An honest man gets $1.50 a day for his Work while the thief gets 12 cents for his.

Nor does this money go to pay for the loss of the horse. The following will show the extent and damage done to our honest lador, as commissioner Wright, will present in his labor statistics to the department at Washington. Colonel Wright, commissioner of labor, has completed his second annual report.

The result of this inquiry will show that, taken as a whole, the value of the product of manufactured goods produced in prisons, and of work done by convicts, bears a small propotion to the total produce of the country.
