he One Institution_ The 'Organisation of Labour,' if well understood, the Problem of the whole Future. Governments of various degrees of utility. Kilkenny Cats; spinning-Dervishes; Parliamentary eloquence. A prime-Minister who would dare believe the heavenly omens. Who can despair of Governments, that passes a Soldier's Guardhouse?-- Incalculable what, by arranging, commanding and regimenting, can be made of men.
