THE SOCIALISTS.
The ST. Louis Organization Armed
Rnd Drilling

ST. LOUIS, Msv lit has been stated
in public prints that the members OF the
Socialistic party, have been drilling IN
this city for some time past. An inter
view to-day, with MIR. Currey, city edi-
tor of the VoikshmDle an organ OF the
German Socialists here, and who was
very active IN the riots of last
July, and was arrested and inn
prisoned therefor, verified this statement.
He said that some two hundred members
OF the Soclahstic Workingmens Pro
tective Association have been drilling
once week in Washington Hall, and
they expect to have another hall soon.
Their arms are Springfield rifles, Of which
they now have two hundred, but expect
more shortly. They were purchased
mainly by subscriptions taken here, but
they have received some contributions
from the East. When asked what
these armed men proposed TO
do, he said they would protect the meet
ings Of SOcislistiC workmen from the
police and prevent the arrest without
wsrrent of law Of men who have the
right to assemble and discuss their griev-
ances. He said the party numbers from
5000 TO 5000 in this city and from 5O,.
900 to $4,000 in the country, all sworn
members. Besides these be SAID there are
as many men in active sympathy with the
organization, who are ready and willing
to give it aid at any time, but who do not
wish to enroll themselves from fear Of
losing their situations.
DR.. Wslser, editor in chief Of the
Yoikstimmc, and formerly editor Of the
Voice Of Labor, published in New York,
said the party had increased in this coun-
try from about 5000 two years ago TO
some $4,000, it's present tStrengtb and that
it is gaining members rapidly.

halt breed to Gen. Miles, inquiring
what kind Of peace the United States

formed Sitting Bull that if he desired to
