The Socialist Labor Party.

A large meeting of the Socialist
Labor party, or Communists, was
held in Brooklyn on the evening OF
August 10th. The following reso-
buttons were adopted
ResOlred. That we, the working
men of Brooklyn, assembled in mass
meeting on the steps OF the City
Hall, denounced the members OF the
Congressional Labor Committee as
men unworthy the confidence OF the
people, and we hereby declare that
neither they nor any measures which
they propose, in the alleged interest
of the workingmen, are entitled 10

the country.
RESOLVED, That we hereby reatfirm

The Mexican Border.

The United States government.
through Minister Foster, has noti-
fed the Mexican Foreign Secretary,
that while not desirous of resort
ing to force, the reluctant conclusion
has been forced upon it, that only
by such an agency can the border
troubles he effectually settle. This
does not necessarily mean war, the
resort to force will be put of to the
very last moment, but unless unfor-
seen circumstances arise, there will
be no notifications whatever OF this
determination.
A morning paper says: There ~
no longer any doubt in well inform
ed circles that the administration
has determined upon most vigorous
measures regarding the Mexican bor-
der troubles. 1t is equally certain
that the execution these measures
will precipitate o conflict between
the American forces on the kis
Grapde and the Mexican forces on
the south side of that river. 1t il
shrewdly surmised that Gen. Sher-
mans trip to New Mexico may bs
abandoned ia time fer him to bt
present somewhere in the vicinity q
the border after Gen. Mckenzie shall
have returned from his next sorti'
into New Mevico. 1t is not appre
hended that any difficulty that ma,
ensue will be Of long duration, ant
the war, if one ensues, will be short
sharp and decisive.

A Washington special of the oath
says the inclination for the present
seems to be to recommend an extra
tax of 81. 81 per barrel for all kinds
of malt liquors. The production
last year was in round numbers 49,
100000 of barrels, SO that If congress
agrees to impose the increased tax,
the additional revenue that will be
obtained therefrom will amount to
nearly $40, 100000 A vigorous OPP
position on the part Of the brewers
is expected.-Er.
That may be the inclination at
Washington among the pilnps of
John Sherman and the gold bugs.
But Washington is not the govern
inent and here among the people
they are electing representatives
whose inclinations will be to tax
something else.
