ST. Loun, Feb. 1O.A meeting O
moderate Socialists was held Sunday .,
Central Turner hall. Max Stoehr, ths
principal speaker, urged the ballot and
proper organization as the true means
of righting the wrongs of Labor in this
republic. He spoke in German.
At the meeting Of the delegates to the
Labor demonstration organization. on
Sunday. the line of march was read by
grand marshal. Several Of the unionf
and assemblies have decided to fine
members refusing to turn out on the
twenty second. A gigantic gathering il
anticipated. The parade will be fol.
lowed by mass meeting.
All seems to be serene in the several
trades, and the prospects are good. So
soon as the weather moderates, the
building trades will be on the boom. A
fsw ofthe char fa4oriesare said to be
reducing their forces for time, as they
do not want to pile up stock any further.
The demand has not been good during
the winter, bat work was kept up thus
far in hopes of a change for the better.
The starting of q convict contract
printing Office in the peniteniary has
stirred up the printers both here and at
the state capital, and resolutions have
been adopted by Nonpariel Assembly

ing the system and calling for its abolish
ment.
B The legislature is being flooded every
day with petitions from this city against
the convict contract system, and favor
ing bill to prohibit child labor.
Many printers are still idle here, and
we would not advise those of other cities
to visit st. Louis at present.
Plumbers still hold their own, as the
weather has again turned colder. This
has had a bad effect on outside work,

Remarkable Memories.

There was Corsicssn boy who could
rehearse 10000 words, whether sense
or nonsense. as they were dictated, and
then repeat them in the reversed order
without making single mistake. A
physician, about sixty years ago, could
repeat the whole of Paradise Lost"
without mistake. altbough he had
not read It for twenty years. Euler
tile great mathematician when he be-
came blind could repeat the whole OF
Virgll's "Eneid," ana could remem-
Der the first line and the last line in
every page Of the particular edition
which he had been accustomed TO read
before he became blind. One kind of
retentive memory may be considered
as the result Of sheer work, deter
mination toward one particular
achievement. without reference either
to cultivation or to naensory on other
subjects. This is frequently shown
by persons in humble life in regard to
the Bible. An old beggarman at
Stirling. known about figty years ago
as "Blind Aliclx." afforded an instance
of this He knew the whole of the
Bible by heart, insomAch that If a
sentence was read to Aim, he could
name book, chapter and verse; or il
the book, chapter AMI verse were
named. he could give ths exact words.
A gentleman. to test him. repeated a
verse. purposely malSins one verbal in

tlenlan asked him to repeat the nineti-
eth verse Of the seventE chapter of the
Book Ot Numbers Alask almost in
stantly replied. "TheEa is no such
verse. That chapter has only eighty
nine verses" Gassendi had acquired
by heart six THOUSAND Latin verses,
and in order to give ais memory exer-
cise he was Ia the habit daily OF re-
citing six hundred verses from difFer-
emit languages. Saan.lerson. another
mathematician. could repeat al
Horace's odes. and great part Of the
other Latin authors.

matter OF conjecture how long this state
Of affairs may continue to tempt the
cupidity even of second-rate naval powers
without bringing on an attack.
General Grant once said that the best
way of preserving peace was TO be pre-
pared for war. Twenty years ago the
coast Notifications of the principal sea-
ports in the United States were adapted
TO the methods OF naval warfare at that
time, and our vessels carried guns OF the
heaviest calibre; but since then the in
vention OF the Krupp gun has put the
Rodman out OF date and made our forts
and vessels defenceless. All the other
naval powers have the great steel guns
that enable them to raze Il city at dis
tance OF seven or eight miles. They fire
with ten times the velocity reached by
the pot-metal guns OF the United States
navy, and a'modern war vessel could raze
one of our forts without getting in range
OF its cannon. Likewise, United States
man-of-war would be blown up before it
could get within shooting distance. The
United States invites attack by being
wholly unprepared for naval war.
To replace the pot-metal cannon with
modern steel guns would be work of
years, but that certainly is one OF the
StioliSesi IeaSOlS why IL SnOulu De DcBuii
at once. These guns cannot be manu-
factured in the United States, and at first
they would have to be obtained in Eng
land and Germany. II the Government
would make contract for sufficient
number of the guns a plant of machinery
could be secured for their manufacture in
the United States; but, as the business
would have to be built up from the
ground, it would be at least five or six
years before the first gun could be
turned out in this country. But the Gov
ernment ought 10 secure some of these
guns for the defense of the principal sea
ports at the earliest practicable day. The
expense OF course will be very heavy, bu
adequate seacoast defense is necessity
and it would be the height OF folly to de
lay making provision for it until too late
This is good time for Congress to re
assert the American doctrine and vote
the necessary millions for defense rather
than incur the danger OF tributes and ma
tional humiliation.-Ch Chicago Tribune.

Not Afraid of the Dynamiters,

The citizens who were down on the
dynamters' list for assassination have
unanimously declined to be frightened.
Persons of the class to which these con-
spirators belong have an altogether
erroneous estimate OF the courage of the
"aristocrat" and "bourgeoisie" in
America. Instead OF turning pale and
trembling at the thought Of the midnight,
underground, giant-powder-loaded Socia-
list, the threatened gentlemen evince n
lively desire to get chance to break the
heads of the conspirators who had
doomed them to death. "These people
think" said Mr.. Spreckels, one of the
condemned, to a Post reporter yesterday
"that because man has money he must
be afraid OF his life. My life is worth nc
more to me than anybody else's, and |
would be just as willing to go in and fight
as anybody. These bilks won't work and
they won't fight. shouldn't be afraid Of
twenty of them" The average Ameri
can, rich or poor, has ample faith in his
ability to take care of himself. And he
can usually do it, too.-,S. p. Post.

DAKoTA's CASE.

The Territory of Dakota is seeking ad-
mission to the Union. To her admission
there is much objection. Much OF the
opposition TO the admission of new States
into the Union is based upon theories an
tagonistic to the true genius of the Ameri-
can Government. Much OF this opposi-
ton comes from the people Of the older
States who feel n jealousy OF the power
of the new States in the Senate. In that
body the voice OF Nevada is as potent
as the voice of New York, and this
is so because of the Federal
idea which underlies the American
Government. The Senators are represen-
tatives of the States and not OF the people.
In the East the papers are citing the cases
OF Oregon, Nevada and Colorado to show
the impolicy of admitting new States with
meagre population. Dakota's case is
entirely different in that respect from the
others. Her population is estimated to
be nearly half a million, and this estimate
is probably no exaggeration. In 1880
her population numbered 1877, while
her present population is estimated
upon the basis of the votes cast
at the November election, 1884.
In 1884 the vote was S6,764, and as this
vote represented the male part OF the
population who had attained to ma
jority, this vote, counting each vote as
being l to OF the actual population,
would show the actual number OF inhab-
itants to be 3,S20. Such population
is perfectly able to support the burdens of
Statehood. and there is no danger of that
population growing less, for Dakota is
pre-eminently an agricultural Territory,
its chief element of wealth being its wheat
crop. To divide Dakota and admit
her rs two States would be un-
wise, and it is safe to say will
not be done but rs she is to-day she is
entitled to admission to the Union. Da-
kota is the only Territory in the Union
whose Supreme Court is composed OF six
judges.
By the way, what has become OF Utah's
constitutional convention? Is it not about
time for it to hold another sem-annual
conference?
