The first town meeting in Massachusetts
held since election day took place Tuesday
evening in Winthrop aud the occasion
resolved itself into an indignation meeting
to protest against the bigotry OF the min
listers of the town in ignoring the COVER

meeting was called TO consider the need of
fire apparatus for the town, but no sooner
had tho moderator raped to order than a

moderator was an anti Butler man and he
declared tho motion illegal. The mover
appealed from this decision and by a two
third vote the meeting declared for the
proclamation.
Then there was tremendous hubbub,
which lasted two or three hours. The
anti-Butler mon drowned the voice of the

Momentous Questions.

If the great quadrupeds-the horses,
mules and elephants, which man guides
with impunity and harness to perform
the most irksome tasks, were suddenly
to turn upon their tyrants and exert
their forces for their own defense and
interest, it would scarcely bring about 30
startling q revolution as has come, or
rather is coming through the recognition
of its latent power by the world of labor
Nothing is now more manifest to the
thoughtful working classes than that the
distribution of luxuries and even the
necessaries of life is fearfully unequal
and unjust. They see men who have
never soiled their dainty hands with
toll, who have not added one jot to the
happiness of their fellow-creatures, roll
ing in wealth, while they have difficulty
by incessant industry in procuring their
wives and children their daily bread
In respect to this kind of hardship the
world has grown worse and not better.
There is an undoubted increase in ciyili-
zation, in education and in the power Of
enjoyment, but with it there has come
also an increase in sensitiveness and in
the capacity for suffering.
So long as isolated laborers alone
awoke to their wrongs, as long as the
masses remained sunk in brutality and
ignorance, the present social regime wa
safe. The diffusion of knowledge, the
adoption of principles of theoretical
equality, the rise of talented and self-sac

Rise Of Wages In France.

Mr.. Crone, the commercial attache of
the British embassy at Paris, has fur
nished some statistics of the present and
past condition of the workingmen in
France. 1t seems that in Paris during
the short period between 1875 and 1882,
wages have risen from 40 to 80 per cent,
Thus day laborers in 1875 received 40
centimes an hour, and last year they re-
ceived 80 centimes, an increase of 80 per
cent. The wages of stonecutters have
advanced from 70 centimes to franc 20
centimes, of building carpenters from
90 to 80 centimes, Of plumbers from 4
francs to 5 francs day, and of carpen-
ters from 81 francs to s francs. The slow
increase in the population and the rapid
increase in wealth are causes of the pres
ent rise in wages, and the rise would he
still more marked were it not for the
constant immigration of Belgians, Ger
mans and Italians, who are attracted by
the high rate Of wages.

our Policy.

Il Z u . ~ :

are great general make me come out
and fight" Iquote only from memory.
and if I mistake in crediting this to the
cautious Roman dictator it does not mat
ter. as it is the lesson wish to draw
from it that 1 value. 1t is this, that the
the people should choose their own
time to engage with their foes, who at
leisure have prepared for Q ur defeat and
butchery. If we "hasten slowly on our
course it will prove better than to incur
defeat by rash movements. 1t is Gus
tom of the cruel aristocracy to speak of
"rising" Of the starved and suffering
population as mere trifle which it is
only important to suppress, as has al
ways been done. Thousands of right
eous uprisings of the wronged and help
less people in every country, cursed with
evil institutions, have been witnessed.
Innumerable millions of helpless people
have been massacred by the police and
soldiers, and no good has come from it.
In this republic we have yet some priyi-,
leges. They were designedly reserved
to us by the few lovers of liberty and
Justice In the early days. 1t was well
understood then that traitors would seek
30 sap the foundations Of the new. insti-
tutions and plunge our people back ward
again into slavery and misery. So they
reserved for us constitutional right to
speak and to print, to hold meetings and
to keep and bear arms. These great and
indispensable rights we ought to hold
onto and use to their fullest extent. In
the midst of an era of robbery nothing
is more necessary than to be armed, and
to the man who really loves liberty the
possession of the means of fighting for
it is equally dear.
We haye allowed the mortal foes of
the people to nourish and train-at our
EXPENSE band of men for the well
known purpose of destroying us in the
most effective manner, and we ought to
be very sure TO have in our hands the
ready means of easily resisting them.
The whole West Point affair is the out
cropping of most villainous and wicked
conspiracy against the preservation of
the public freedom. 1t should be abol-
ished. Not that this would be sufficient,
but because it would be moving in the
right direction.
The interior population is the real seat
of power in this country and that must
be reached and informed of the true ma
ture of this conflict. Like the ancient
Roman we will not go to battle until we
please. We choose our own time and,
whether tomorrow or hundred years
on. we fight only to win. Ours is the
cause of humanity and it must not be
lost.
But let US prepare for the day of con-
tiict, now.-San Francisco Truth.

s11a,soo Offered for an Once.

The carnival of debauchery here that
reached its height with last Tuesdays
elections had the usual features with
which everybody is familiar. Not few
of the candidates for legislative, Judicial
and other offices were men who ought to
be wearing the ball and chain, according
to their descriptions of each other, which
were often true. Many openly resorted
to practices whose shamelessness no lam
guage can tell, and it is not worth while
to repeat the words by which they are
known, but which seem to convey to the
people no idea of their ominous meaning.
The heelers, strikers, scalpers and spoils-
men had a harvest of it; and so had the
diekerers, traders, bunchers, and political
gamblers. .
There was feature of the election in
this city which tsok shape peculiarly
gross and disgusting. One of the candi-
dates for the local Office of register
which is said to be "wor,h" over $780,
600 year-resorted to practice that re-
minds US of that which prevailed in the
rotting years of Rome, when offices were
sold to the highest bidder, and candi-
dates distributed prizes among the popu-
lace. HI am the friend of the poor man
these were the words printed on a huge
placard in the daily newspapers, "and l
will, if elected, give the emoluments OF
the office of register to the poor of New
York"-$l00,0OO. At the same time this
candidate caused it to be announced that
he had given $2,5OO to a benevolent fund
in this city, and that, some years ago he
gave $4,000 to the Irish famine fund,
'for which he was pnblicly thanked by
Cardinal McCloskey."
Was there ever in old Rome a more
shameless display by any candidate, or
more shameful attempt to purchase an
Office and corrupt the populace by ~gi-
gantic system of bribery Surely it
cannot be necessary 10 indulge in de-
nunciation here of such thing. You
would have supposed it must be de-
nounced with flaming energy by the
daily press of this city, and one paper
did use proper language about it; but the
majority of them were dumb dogs.
What is to be the end of this sort OF
business?- John Swinton's Paper.

store for the poor is painfully certain.
Probably after awhile the people will
begin to wonder what Is the seat Of afl
this want and misery; and possibly,
when they learn, they viii arise in their
might and uproot the evil. There is not
famine, but unequal division, and If
there was correct and honest system
in vogue there would be plenty for all,
and no suffering.

About 400 miners who have Teen on a

been black listed, and several are making
preparations to seek work elsewhere.
1t is stated at Chicago that large pro-
portion of the saw-mills on the east
shore of Lake Michigan will shut down
within week. This action is caused by
the low price of lumber, and the fact
that the saving season has already been

will practically close navigation, as it
will leave vessels little to do.

bushel to come out again. The men
who had gone to work were not repre-
sented at the meetings, and it was an
nounced that the reduction had been &C
cepted at another pit. For this reason
no action was taken. The miners are
discouraged, and it is probable that all
will accept the reduction.
