GERMAN socIaIists

The German Socialists now number, it
has been said, one twenty-ffth of all
| the grown Germans, or something like
half million of the Emperor's subjects.
Prince Bismarck stated his belief, in the
recent debate on the bin to suppress So
cfalism, that in Berlin alone there are at
| least sixty thousand Socialists. Forty-one
newspapers are published in the Empire
devoted to their ideas, and their subscri-
bers number nearly two hundred thou
| sand. Of the German Socialists, no less
than ninety-five per cent. are working
men, the rest are professors, students,
| speculative rather than practical Social
lists; though the instance of Nobiling
shows that in the latter classes are some
| men who are ready, at the risk of life it.
self, to assert their doctrines by violent
deeds. OF course there are many men
included in the swelling ranks of Social
ism who abhor assassination and who
stop far short of bl0odshed as remedy.
for the ills from which they suffer. They
all believe themselves oppressed; all seek
for elfectual means to get rid of this OPP
preston. They do not, however, all be-
ileVe In attaining the end by violent
means, The more moderate rather aim to
procure radical change in the laws bv
the legitimate methods of agitation and
legislation. Yet the more extreme So
cialists are the more powerful, and the
revolutionary spirit is that which, after
all, gives its vim and force to this re-
markable movement. 1t is evident that
the cause of the dissatisfaction with life,s
condition, which characteri2es the social
istic theories, cannot he removed by re-
pressing Socialism, for its chief element
is the inequality of wealth which exists
in all large communities, and people who
are poor are more willing to see in the
rich possessions of others the cause of
their own lack of wealth, than acknowl-
edge any deficiency In their own ability
to make merely as others have been able
to do. In every community there has al
ways been this dissatisfied element, and
lit will probably always exist.

Horrible Hangings.

of it.

Detroit Free Press.
This is an age of improvement. No
body does things as they were done fifty
years ago. Everything shows the marks
of invention and experiment. At least,
almost everything does. There is one
thing, however, that stands grim and
terrible as it did hundreds of years ago.
If the witty Frenchman, who knew he
was cast on civilized shore, because he
saw gibbet there, were to return he would
find the gibbet just as it was then. If he
had lived two hundred years ago he
would have seen it just the same in every
detail. Men may come and men may go
but the hangman's dreadful implement
goes on for ever. Hanging is at best but
clumsy and unscientific method of tax
ing human life, utterly unworthy of the
present progressive age. OF course the
average Sheriff does what little he can to
make the ceremony pleasant, by ingenious
Improvements of his own. An Ohio of
fetal, not long since, insisted on a length
of drop that instantly decapited the un-
fortunate culprit. The Sheriff in Quebec
fixed the rope so that it slipped off, in
flicting untold horrors on the doomed
man. The Camden, n. j., Sheriff had a
neat little fixing of his own, and was so
axious not to let the reporters satisfy a
morbid curiosity that he did not rig it up
until they were all gone, and then there
was no time to test the arrangement II
barely lifted the miserable man from his
chair, and the Sheriff, with two assist
ants, had to hoist the dying murderer to
the ceiling and hang on the rope TO keeT
him there. If justice could have Slipped
the bandage from one eye and seen a

she would surely sell her sword and scales

it is shameful that such occurrences al
those of a few days since should disgrace
American justice. If we can't have

Country Negro versus Fovvn Negro


From the Atlanta Constitution.
An eternal warfare seems to rage. be-
tween the country negro and the town
darky. This was illustrated at the pas
senger depot yesterday. A colored youth
from Pike county approached a town me-
gro, and the following conversation en-
sued:
"'Whar bouts is de ticket off1ceP''
"Right dar'fo' yo' eyes,
"Fo' whose eyes?"
"Yone."
"Is you de ticket ofaceP''
''Look yer. niger, don't you gimme
none yo' slack.''
"I'm mighty slack man, ole man,
wen gifts stirred up.''
can you'll git stirred up eff you STAN
roun yer foolin' longer me-"
"Dat's de kin ofex'cise wat I'm pinin'
fer"
And with that they clinched and had a
right livel tussel. They were separa
ted, however, before a policeman came
along, and the Pike county darky found
the ticket office, The town negro, 1t may
be well to mention, was badly used up.

One of the greatest trials of the news
paper profession is that its members are
compelled to see more of shame of the
world at large than any other profession.
Through every newspaper office, day af-
ter day, continually pass specimens of
all the weakness OF the world; all the
vanities that want to be puffed; all the
revenges that want to be reaped; mistakes
that want to be corrected all dull speak
ers who want to be thought eloquent; all
the neanness that wants to get its wares
noticed gratis in the editorial columns;
all the men who want to be set right who
never were right; all of the cracked-brain
philosophers with stories as long as their
hair, and as gloomy as their finger nails
in mourning bereft Of soap; all the bores
who come to stay five minutes but talk
five hours,
Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms of all the follies and -shams of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation is to believe neither God nor
man. It is no surprise to me that in this
profession are some skeptical men; only
wonder that journalists believe anything.

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
j of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fre-
quently extends to the. top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss Of appetite and
sickness the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to Try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER tc
! have been extensively deranged.
