The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-06-20

New YORK, sJune IA special from Lon
don says: Private letters received from Ber-
lin speak OF the public feeling as being
profoundly disturbed. No one ventures to
speak openly in extenuation of Nobeling's
crime, but in private men say that the coun-
try is rife for republic. France, now under
republican rule for seven years, is prosperous
rich and happy. Germany, under the empire,
is poor, depressed and wretched. Worse still
the alliance between the car and the emperor
is dangerous. Germany may find herself
dragged into war with which she has no
concern. She is kept with her hand upon
her sword and her people, many of them fnd
it difficult to get bread to eat, are compelled to
maintain an immense army The popularity
of the Crown Prince is as nothing compared
with that of The Emperor. Should the latter
die republican revolution might be at
tempted.
We don't want to see any assassi-
nations, but we hope the day is not
far distant when royalty like slavery
will be thing of the past all over the
world.

900 in Alleghaney. The socialist club, 100
members was organized in Fortieth street,
near 9 the arsenal, where the Philadelphia sol,
diers were slaughtered Last night many Of
these so-called socialists entertained views
which rival those of Marat. An old and we'll
informed citizen said regarding the meeting
tonight that if the cry OF 'bread or blood"
was raisedtin this city at present it would find
an echo in the minds of hundreds of unem-
ployed workmen.
Isn't it pitiable thing that in a
republic, in the most fertile country
in the world, blessed with the most
abundant harvests, the working people
should be driven to the dreadful alter

mentand without recommendation the

plies to all vacant unappropriated

BY the distribution of literature
embodying the principles of socialism
and earnest secret talk at meetings
and elsewhere, the communists are
gaining some accessions to their
strength, and words are occasionally
dropped that do not indicate the
lamblikH nature they would have the
public believe they possess. It is
suspected that one of their speakers,
while recently openly advocating
peace for the public ear, in private
fulfilled his real mission by urging
that the socialists be on the watch for
an opportunity to take advantage of
violence if it was begun in any of the
large cities at the instance of the
authorities. Measures are t. be
taken 70 prevent the communists
from getting possession of arms, if
an attempt should be made, and it
will be arranged so that the military
can be summoned at an instant's
notice.
A MEETING IN CHICAGO JUNE, 9.
The demonstrating section Of the
socialists party held a well-attended
meeting at Romer's Hall yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. John Feltes presided
About 100 new members were re-
ceived. The main feature Of the
Meeting was proposition to reject
what is known as Morgan's plan Of
organization, which intended to do
away with all the nationality lines.
and organize the party as one of
American citizens, and substitute in
its stead an organization on a strict
principle Of nationality, dividing the
party into sections according to the
language of its members. This pro.
position was thoroughly discussed and
the fact brought out that the socialis-
tic party means to seek at first it's
strength exclusively among the
foreign, especially the Germnn, popu.
latio1, and fears to loose its prestige
by allowing the English speaking
socialists to obtain the ascendency.
and the party will hereafter be
organized in sections, which only
during campaigns will be run as ward
