hardly worth while for a man to change
his condition in any respect. But Paul
was mistaken in that matter.
(3.) But why quote Paul? Does IN.
G. W." really suppose that the consci-
ence of an intelligent Christian is. bound
by Paul's opinions any more than by the
opinions of other wise and earnest
hearted Christians? Does he not know
that up to the date of the Nicine Coun-
Gil, Christians did not consider them
selves "bound in conscience" by anything
except the Five Gospels and the Acts of
the Apostles, and by them only because
they professed to have been written by
those who knew Jesus Christ and were
eye-witnesses of what he said and did.
The Ebonites, who were the largest
and most influential body of Jewish con-
yerts, rejected all the Pauline epistles.
""Please tell us where we may find one
word written or dictated by Christ"
I never heard of it if Christ "wrote" or
dictated" any writing whatever, except
one sentence written with his fingers in
the sand John viii: g. but what he
wrote, no man knoweth. The fact was
that so long as the common church re-
named organized on the basis of "com-
munion of Saints Community of prop
erty and rights among all that believed)
there was very little need of any writ
ten creed, ,or constitution in the churches.
They had an infallible teacher and
guide, and the church made no mistakes,
and committed no crimes, until the COM
munal organization ordained by Jesus
and the Twelve was subverted by Con-
stantine, and ecclesiasticism was left to
accomplish human undertakings by hui
man instrnmentalities alone. Trne
Mathew, Marx, Luke and John, and the
unknown writer Of "The Gospel of the
Hebrews" had committed to writing
what they had seen and remembered of
the sayings and doings of Jesus before
the close of the first century land the
proofs of the fact are so overwhelming
and 80 we'll known that he who denies it
simply advertises his own ignorance or
his mullshness but it is, also, true that
the church had higher authority on

bonn bardment it has received from the

number for May 2. ... ....
In the article of April II, your types
say, "the eighth and eleventh chapters
of First Samuel are the first and only
perfect essay on liberty" 1t is imma-
terial now to enquire how the error oc-
cured, but the statement ought to have
been "the eighth and twelfth chapters" "
as the eleventh chapter does not sustain
the position Upon which it is errone-
ously cited, to wit; that the Jewish
Kingdom of Heaven was the negation
of human authority, and when they in
sisted upon electlng king, Samuel de-
clared to them that he was divinely in
structed that ltlwas a great wickedness'
for them to place any human authority
over themselves"
There are some other errors in the
print, blt of less important kind.
l do not know how far mere contro-
versy may be profitable to your readers,
but being fully persuaded that the church
of Christ, as it existed in the world for
nigh three centuries, affords the only
possible basis upon which true liberty
and true religion can ever be possible to
the masses of mankind, it seems i'm
proper to remain silent when men who
seem to know better persistently charge
against Christianity all crimes commit
ted, or countenanced, by that ecclesias-
ticism which Constantine substituted for
Christianity. 1t is not true that Christ,
or his apostles, or his church, ever
wronged or prosecuted any man, or any
class of men, or ever authorized others
to do SO land tintelligent writer's who
| know this statement is true, ought not
to speak, or write the contrary. Let
Mohammedanism, Romanism and Prot
estantism answer for their own crimes,
wrongs, tyrannies and injustices; don't
charge them to Christianity. 1t never
committed any of them; it alone offers
equal Justice and right to all men it
alone can Danish the selfshness which
is the curse of the world and if men
would only learn and act upon the sys-
tenn which Christ proposed, crime, ha-

Grande strikers, and their disapproVal
of the methods employed by the receiver
of the roads to subordinate, free Ameri-
can citizens. Several thousands more
marched to the rink, but by a previous
understanding they did not enter, as 1t
was desired that those who were not
members of the Knights of Labor should
be given, the opportunity to participate
in the meeting.
The report which follows is cond ensed
from the four column account given in
this mornings Tribune-Repubican, and
therefore it cannot be said that is col
ored by one who is identified with the
strikers: .
The workmen who assembled inNthe
Mammoth rink yesterday afternoon were
as fine BODY of men as ever met in the
city. Some of them were accompanied
by their wives and daughters. A large
number of them met at the city hall and
proceeded in body to the rink. The
Hope assembly, composed of ladies, was
present. The stand was. ornamented
with handsome bouquets, the gift of the
ladies.
The men were good-natured. Their
faces wore an expression Of determlna-
ton. If anyone entered that rink res
terday with the expectation of seeing a
rough, uncouth-loolzing body of men,
they were mistaken. The most of them
were we'll dressed, and their conduct and
deportment was worthy OF praise. They
were quiet and orderly, the only noise
made being that of Il hearty applause or
q cheer at the remarks of the speakers.
Judge Belford was heartily cheered
when he took his, seat upon the plat
form, as we're also Messrs. Driscoll; ;Buch-
anan, Nesham, Coats, Carroll, Latrey,
Phelps and other prominent men of the
order. AS there was large number Of
ladies present, request was made that
the men quit smoking, and the request
was obeyed. A little pleasantly was also
INDUCED in on one occasion when some
one cried out "a detective" Numerous
cries of put him out" were heard, fol-
lowed by good-natured laugh all around.
Among the ladies present was Mrs.
Griffith. wife Of the Salida striker who
was sentenced las. week to- six months

of the number became enthused and
would have easily been induced to start

Whether force lsright or wrong it is not
always timely. Nothing is so damaging
as defeat. Had they come to blows the
result would have been, the best leaders
and educators wiped out the movement

lating itself upon the removal ofa "dan-
gerous element" amid the applause of
their duped slaves. ..
The cool heads said wait" Suppose,
on another occasion, enough men are on

still the wise ones would say, watt
We can take possession of the, city gov

us, not at us. This fine building will

will relieve our feelings but reduce our

Dynamite can be used by both sides.
When the board of trade is made into
a w6olen mill, the old gamblers will be
fired with revenge, and, having nothing
to lose, will blow it up. We had better
not set the example. In the meantime
it may be well to scare the thieves with
the possibilities of dynamite, but I fear
it would only impel them to make con-
cessions that would sooth the people to
sleep again. Let them 60 on, they are
the best agitators against themselves.
True, their victims starve. But when
the latter kiss the hands that strike
them, what can we do2 Blow up their
masters, and will they sympathize r IA

and the same ones condemn dynamiters

In looking over copy OF Trutn,
published in San Francisco, / notice an
article by, you headed, What is Social
ism p The tenor of it induces me to ask
you for your views in regard to the way
out of tbe hopeless condition Ito use
your own words) into which the present
social system holds the wage -earners.' >"
This is big subject, but will try to
give him my views regarding it in as
short a space as possible, giving only
broad, general principles upon which
may be founded a greater degree of JUS
tice than exists under prevailing institu-
tions. 1 choose to do this in The En-
oU1RER for the reason that it may pro-
woke greater degree of criticism and
thereby be the means of correcting any
erroneous notions l may have fallen into,
I don't want to live in error if it can be
avoided.
1 believe that when the opportunity
to work and the right to retain the full
results of that work are guaranteed to
every individual, the force ce-relations that
are now maintained by government for
the alleged purpose of protecting life
and property and the suppression of
crime will become almost wholly inoper-
ative and useless. l am satisfied that
crime, in its multifarious phases, or at
any rate very large percentage of 1t,
is naught else but the result of poverty,
and poverty, am also satisfied, is
largely. very largely, the result of the
system that makes property of those
things that are not produced by the
work of human hands and brains-the
result of monopoly.
To abolish property in the resources
of Dature-or what some writers call the
terra solar forces-or to prevent the mo-
nopolizatioh by individuals of more of
natures resources than is necessary for
the maintenance of themselves and
families, is, it seems to me, the very
basis of this whole social movement.
When that is accomplished other social
reforms will be comparatively easy, but
so long as this property system exists
the condition of the wage-earners will
not-from the very nature of things can
not-be anything but hopeless, because
they are absolutely at the mercy of the
propertied class.

thetical principles. b.t.I
Liberty is to enjoy the right of doing
what one pleases without being re-
strained by anybody else to be free
from restraint the power of choice to
do what one wills that will do no harm
to any one else. Liberty must always
and does always harmonlze with Right:
To do that which is wrong is license. 1t
is common notion, and IN fact we are
taught. that license is an excess of liberty,
or that license is liberty run mad, but
this is not so, any more than is wrong
right carried too far. There Is absolutely
no affinity, no relationship whatever be-
tween liberty and license. Liberty is to
do right; license is to do wrong.
To tell the truth; to be honest; to
exchange equivalents, or to give that
which cost one person one hours work
for that which cost another person one
hours work, all things consldered-to do
these things Is right, is in accord with
liberty.
To lie; to be dishonest; to give that
which cost one person one hours work
for that which cost another person ten
hours work-to do these things is wrong,
is license.
l have not the space here to define
liberty more elaborately to show that it
is a correct principle, but this will ,un-
doubtedly be sufficient to give a correct
idea of what is meant by the term.
Now, government is to control, to re-
strain. We are prevented by govern
ment from doing what is right. From
the place that 1 write 4 see large areas
of land that are not used at all. I know
of large number of people who would
put that land to use ta-morrawand make
good living on it for themsel yes and
families, did not government step in and
say to them they have no rightto use it..
They must live on some land, and as they
have none of their own they must live
on somebody else's. for which they have
to pay rent Now, is it not plain even to
the ST nplest mind, that government
gives to the class of people that owns
the land the power to make the D. class
that does not own the land pay for the
right to live, because nobody can live
without the use of land, and a land tax
ia tharefore a tax for the right to live.

TO do with this. and never reaps a

I the blame all the same The size OF
package however. does cause a great
deal of dissatisfaction, though il Is in
no sense evidence that the grower in
tends TO be dishonest We have no
doubt that the small and deceptive
packages of fruit were conceived in
dishonesty Somebody with more keen
ness and greed than conscience be-
thought himself of cutting down the
straw berry box ard placing the bottom
half way up TO the top, for the purpose
OF swindling the public: and We pre-
sumo he succeeded But it Is very
