SPECIAL EDITION.

1 desire to announce that the next
issue of The ENQUIRER, December l.,
will be particularly interesting, as it
will contain the recent lecture delivered
in this city, by DIR. De La Matyr, on the
subject of Finance" This lecture is
conceded by the authorities in this 10
cality, who heard it, to be masterpiece
of logic and reasoning on question of
the deepest and most vital interest to
the people. 1t is also said that this adj
dress is the ablest ever delivered by its
talented author, and that in itself is high
praise.
A great many friends and subscribers
have urged me to procure the manu-
script of this able discourse and print it,
80 that it might be circulated, and pre-
served by those interested in and who
are studying the great questions in our

have received copy of the above
titled work, and have just finished read
| ing it. 1t is written by A. ]. Starkweather
and S. Robert Wilson and is published
by the San Francisco Truth Publishing
company. g.. s..
This little book is by far the most COM
prehensive treatise of the doctrines of
socialism that l have ever seen, and fills
long felt want. All Lover the land the
cry has gone up from the oppressed and
disheartened people. "What are we to
do; what is the real idea and theory of
Socialism," Messrs, starkweather and
Wilson have answered this question in
language SO plain that any man can fully
understand; and if there be one heavily
laden son of toll who will read their lit
tie book through carefully and not catch
a lucid glimpse of the road to his liberty
through it, he is certainly intellectually
dwarfed by his long subjection.
The capitalistic press, the pulpit and the
politicians have studiously misrepresent-
ed the principles and aims of Socialism
to the people for obvious reasons-and
successfully held them aloof from an
honestIinyestigation of the subject. And,
l am sorry to say, some of the so-called
labor press have, with zeal worthy a
better cause, fought the promulgation of
its doctrines.
Therefore, welcome with unbounded
Joy the eexcellent work of Brothers Stark
weather and Wilson, and l now pledge
my untiring efforts to the circulation of
their little book. ], shall begin next week
the publication of series of extracts
from Socialism, or Evolution or Reyolu-
ton" in The Enquirer, and l respect
fully urge their careful perusal by every
lreaderof the paper. @
For the purpose of more speedily and
thoroughly circulating this admirable
and effective propaganda shall at once.

will keep them for sale at this Office. All
who desire a copy can procure it, by call

THANKSGIVING.

Next thursday, November ~, Is the
day set apart by the president of the
United States for giving thanks and to
pray. OF late years (about the last
twenty it has been the custom for the
head of the government to issue procla-
nation to the people, once in twelve
months, asking that they observe GER
tain day by fasting and prayerful
thanksgiving, and the date has fallen on
the last Thursday in November-be-
cause it so happened that the first OBJ
servance fell on that day. y
This custom grew out of the settle
ment of the internal disturbance which
caused the shedding of SO much blood
and destruction of property-the war
for the freedom of an enslaved race.
Thus, should the day be associated with
thoughts of freedom, peace and happi-
ness. Will it be SO next Thursday ?
Out of the fifteen millions of working
men and women in this country, how
many are there who have cause to be
thankful this year? Have not their
conditions become worse and more de-
plorable than they were year ago? Is
not their present situation wretched, and
the outlook for the future gloomy in the
e1treme? Right on the eve of the
hardest season in the year; in the face
of the prospect of the hardest winter,
with more idle hands and empty cup
boards, that we have known for several
years, We are asked to bow our heads
in thanksgiving; and for what?
Will the hungry, ragged, shlvering
disinherited son of God give thanks
that he is permitted still to exist in the
land of which he has been despoiled !;
that he has yet the senses to feel hunger
and cold, and to see his despoiler revel
in his stolen goods?
Will the white slave offer up thanks
that he is not bought and sold in the
market-place land as carefully cared for)
as were his eolored brethren few years
ago2 Will the subjects of this modern
oligarchy sing out their thanks that
their ruler is not king or a monarch !;
and that they dwell in a land where
independence" and liberty" are the
sacred ingredients of the government
and the mouthings of subsidized Fourth
of July orators?
In word, will the hard-worked, half
starved millions of this land give loud
thanks for the m1series of the past and
the wretched prospects for the future?
No, the thanks of the proletarian on
next Thursday will be confined to the
simple fact that he knows that all over
the world his brothers are awakening to
sense of their wrongs, and are prepar-
ing to strike for their rights.
Let those who believe in the efficacy
of prayer send up their beseech-
ings for the aid of the Just God in the
coming struggle; but let no poor man
mock his misery by pretended thank
fulness for an abundance of sorrow and
wretchedness.

THE last issue of the Indianapolis Sun
contained letters from more than half a
dozen different correspondents in which
DR.. De La Matyr was nominated for gov
ernor. Some of those Indiana fellows
are probably not aware that DIR. De, La
Matyr is no longer resident of their
state. However, all his old friends and
new ones in this state will be glad to
know how. the gentleman is admired and
honored where he is well known. There
are few earnest people in this locality
who hope, and not without good grounds,
that DIR. De La Matyr will do much to
help the masses out here, and if it is all
the same to our Indiana brothers they
will please look elsewhers for their gov

why the public spirited, patriotic people

to tightening the burdens of her tens of

feeding and housing some of her many
paupers. Damn Liberty Enlightening

poftAnS part IN the. SOCIAL ana poiisicaa
history Of the world Does it mean that
the ballots cast against convict labor, and
like minor questions, viii play this part 7
Mention is made of General Sher-
mans recent speech, at New York
banquet. in the Free Press editorial.
Does it know that this military aristocrat
said in that speech, "The better classes
are tired of these insane hovlings Of the
lower strata, and they mean to stop
them? 7"
So, instead of righting the wronged
people in peacable way, it is the inten-
tion of their oppressors, of whom this
military god is one, to shut their mouths
with government lead. We shall see
about that.
But to get back. and to the point. The
systems of the government must be rev.
olutionized. This can never be done
through congress which money can
buy, and which it will buy as long as it
remains anything near like it is. Then
the people must arise in their might Of
right and demand justice; and if need
be compel it with sword or dynamite,
Fear is great persuader and. perhaps
if the usurper saw blood in the proleta-
rian's eye. justice might be done without
scratch.
At any rate, unless our masters are
forced to yield unto US what is ours they
never will do it; and tits foolish to think
otherwise. History and knowledge Of
human nature prove this.
The comparisons made by the goody'
goody papers to the monarchies and
kingdoms of the old world are silly
twaddle. All men have a right to life
and its good things. Dove live SO much
happier in this country, have We less
starvation and misery than there are in
European countries What matter
though it be under a czar, king, presi
dent or congress people suffer that 8

Pile of Russia, it is as much so in Amer

to free black man, it is to liberate the

for war and bloody revolt in this coun

at this time. ..- .5-

A FEW weeks ago THE ENQUIRER copied
short article from the Denver Inter
Ocean which began, almost everybody
admits there is something wrong in our
SYSTEM" and credited it "Inter Ocean,"
The article has been reprinted in nearly
every labor paper in the country, the
credit almost invariably being given to
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Why SO many
should fall into this error do not under
stand. Chicago has not copyrighted the
name of Inter Ocean," and tie paper in
that city bearing the name is not accus-
toned to such expressions as are con-
tanned in the article in question. 1t is
SO seldom Denver publication (barring

has occurred among the Knights of
Labor since the organization Of that
order in this CITY, was chronicled. He
who was called this time was known as
John Nicholas. This brother had been
i'll and suffering for a long time and for
two or three months past, little hope of
his recovery had been entertained. De-

A DAILY paper says the board of county

A DAILY paper says the board of county
commissioners are having numerous ap-
plications for admission to the county
poorhouse; and yet they do not want to
discuss what creates the Subjects. These
same daily papers would have the out
side world believe business is rushing in
Colorado, and that no indication Of hard
times are discernible. In this connec-
ton it may be well to mention that a
Denver correspondent of the Irish World
is liable to mislead the workingmen of the
east by false reports Of good times in this

plenty of opportunities without jumping

not. However it is not right with them;

We believe firmly, that as necessary

be no longer needed, it is imperative
that the present competitive system Of
industry and the social structure depend

place shall be substituted system Of
governmental co-operatlonin all matters
of mental. moral and physical construc-
ton and elevation.
We believe in fact that the present
system necessarily is prophetic Of fu-
ture revolution, which must either result
in a greater and freer condition, or will
plunge our present civilization back into
barbarism.
We affirm that, believing this, tits our

women are born free and with equal
rights. That they were endowed, by
such birth, by their Creator, and as nee,

certain inalienable rights, rights ofwhich
even they themselves cannot divest
themselves; and that among these rights
are the right to life and the means of
living, liberty and the conditions essen
tial to liberty, and the right to the pur.
suit Of happiness. That especially emu

If it should be found, after careful

right but the most sacred duty of the
whole people to alter or abolish the said
system by any and all possible means.
