Another plan, and l confess it seems
TO me the most advisable and practica
BILE, is that arelief clubs" be formed
wherever. possible. each member pledg-
ing to pay collector chosen by them
selves a certain sum monthly Or weekly

plan would afford the small giyer and
those able to give comparatively large
sums an equal chance to do all they are
able, and would construct substantial
basis of aid that would settle all doubts

The Mapleson engagement was grand
artistic success, but it is said to have fall
len little short financially The per-
formances Of the company were the
finest ever given in this city, and it is a
pity that the prices were necessarily SO

music. 1t is announced semi-oficially
that the company will return for short
engagement in d short time, when the

The friends of the San Francisco Truth
have come to its assistance and it came
out on the first instant with hopeful
aspect, and with its old and encouraging
fearleesness. The editor announces that,
although the paper is still ina precarious
condition. he is greatly encouraged, and
the score Of letters from friends which
he publishes bespeak strong sympathy
and determination to fight hard for the
life Of Truth. Relief CLUBS are being
organized and fatterin2 and cheering
expressions are being rendered Mr.. Has
kell, but these alone viii not pay printers
and buy white paper. However, the
advanced thinkers Of California have
before shown their aptness for deeds as
well as words, and as long as they can
scrape few dimes together they can be
depended upon to stand by their cham
pion. iG
Truth has friends all over the world
and it is to be hoped that tn work of
tiding it over this dull time will not be
left to the burden-bearing toilers Of
California. It will take some time to
hear from friends at distance and it is,
therefore, necessary that those at home
be prompt in action. The editor an
nounces that he may be compelled to
miss the next issue, but all friends hope,
with Mr., Haskell, that such will not be
the case. md a,.5r. -t....-.-,-. .. .4a
Let not the readers of THE ENQUIRER

no selfish motive will ever deter me from
doing my duty to a fellow-worker. Il
] The road we are travelling is hard
one; if it were not there would be no
necessity to strive 80 hard to get others
to join US. The way of the reformer is
always beset by difficulties; he. must
work and suffer-. he must bear the ills
and misfortunes which fall to all cru
saders Of right against might; he must
overcome weakness and discouragement,
and fight a thousand losing battles. He
who cannot do all this is not a true
soldier in the Emancipation Army, and
must 60 back and train a while longer
in the ranks of the recruits. ..
This is the truth, and yet there is
nothing in it to cause the brave man to
falter. A single concession to the rights
of humanity has never been made by
the tyrants of the world without a strug-
gle, and though the path to perfect Free
dom and Equality be Uttered with stones
and thorns, the reward will be thou
sand times commensurate to the suffer-
ing, and the more costly the achieve
ment the greater the pleasure in the
enjoyment of its results.

In Lyons, France, one year and hall
ago the Socialists published a weekly
paper called "La Lutte" It had three
editors. They preached the truth, were
arrested, the paper suppressed and the
editors sent to prison for three years.
The next week the paper appeared in a
new name, "La Drapeau Noir," and three
new editors. Time passed and they
we're arrested and jailed and the journal
suppressed. Immediately it appeared
again under the name of "L'Emeute," !"
three more men taking charge. Last
week l learned that this journal had
also been suppressed and its editors i'm
prisoned. almost gave up hope then.
But on opening my foreign mail this
week l came across its successor "Le
Def" with three new men at its helm

to the efforts of its unknown and un-

THERE are millions of people who are
Socialists, and do not know it. During
the present week l have met a great
many friends who have always had q
horror of Socialists, but they admitted
that In five or six years acquaintance
with me they hadn't found me such a
terrible fellow. And when we came to
talk the subject over they learned that
we believed just about the same things.
If the so-called "middle-class" would
only give the subject fair investigation,
many Of it would change their tunes.

JOHNS ERROR.

John Swinton, in his last issue, makes
a mistake in a reply given to the
query of one of his contributors. The
gentleman wants to know If there
is "any form of organization established,
suitable to the emergency, upon
which all laboring interests and classes
can be united ?" and Mr.. Swinton
responds with an unqualified 'Nop
There is an organization established"
upon which every man, woman and
child of any country on the globe, who
believe in the equal rights of man, can
be united, If they are properly in
structed, and not misled, as to what the
platform and objects of that organization
are. 1t is an organization that believes
in the doctrines of the Knights of Labor,
the greenbackers, the free-soilers, the
anti-monopolists and in fact every Or
ganization that has for its object tie ele-
vation of the workingman and the in
stilling of humanitarian principles. 1t
is an organization that knows no color,
race or national lines; but teaches that
all men are born equal, and that he who
labors is entitled to what be produces,
and to an equal share in the gifts of ma
ture. 1t Is an organization that en-
braces in its principles everything that is
good in every labor organization under
the sun. 1t is an organization to which
a large number of those who repeat and
circulate the capitalistic lies concerning
it would be identified if they understood
themselves and it. It's an organization
that means business and nothing else.

Association
In thus speaking Of the l. W. A. l
have no intention of disparaging any
other labor organization, for the l. W. A.
is the friend of every one of them, and
it's members are the most active men in
the other societies; for it is the organiza-
tion" that stands ready to aid any and all
laboring societies and men to carry into
effect their ideas of Justice.
The principal difference between the
l. w. A. and other labor organizations is
that each of those have different rem
edy for the ills of mankind, while the
1. w. A. embraces all their remedies, and
teaches that they must all be applied to
effect a sure and permanent cure.

He who charges the dynamite plots

international direction shows his igno-

THERE is some little trouble in st.
Louis concerning the Trades Assembly
of that city, and it is reported that efforts
are being made to organize an opposition
assembly. This will not do. 1t seems
impossible that all worklngmen should
be brought to agree as to all the details
in conducting an organization, but such
foolish action as is anticipated in st.
Louis should be nipped in the bud. All
earnest workingmen should be aiming
at the same result, and he who attempts
to turn aside the main body in its objects,
by raising petty dissensions, should be
squelched peremptorily. There is enough
to fight on the outside without having
to contend with sap-heads on the inside.

The English house of lords Is being
exercised upon the Interference" of
Americans with Irish affairs. Baron
Waveney urged at recent sitting that
the house present communication on
the dynamite question to the authorities
at Washington. In view of the fact that
the American citizenship of O'Donnell
was insultingly ignored by the British
authorities the suggestion of Wayeney
is a good one. And then the English
Judiciary showed such a great respect for
O'Donnell's American counsel. Our
congress is dead stuck on British snob-
ism, and if the house of lords should
ask that every dynamiter in this country
be quartered, an attempt would be made
to grant the request. 1t might present q
splendid opportunity to ascertain if our
sycophantic representatives. are backed
