socialism and the Labor Question.


A free lecture on Socialism and the
Labor Question" Will be given at Turner
hall on Tuesday evening under the auspices
of the socialists of st. Paul, by DR..
Edward Avelng, the well-knOwn English
socialist. OF the lecturer. r. KobitZSeh, of
this city, says:
Dr. Edward Aveling is the son OF a clergy
man, and was born in London in 1851 He is
author of many remarkable books on philoSo-
ply, botany and social economy. and has as
one Of the most talented and most enthusiastic
disciples of the great Charles Darwin, q very
high reputation in the scientific world. Be-
sides that worldwide known excellent poet,
William Norris (the millOnaire). besides
Hyndman and Others DR.. Aveling is one of
the most prominent sOcialistic wcrkingmen
of England. His wife. Mrs. Eleanor Marx
Aveling, who also will address the audience,
is the daughter of the great Soc al
Economist Carl Marx, who found
the scientific basis for modern socialism
and whose lifelong labor and studies are con-
tanned in his great work "DaS kapitaI (''The
Capital'') The growing conflict between
capital and labor; the accumulation of enor-
nous wealth in the hands of the few; the i'm
poverishment of the laboring masses; the
ipnumerable strikes and lOckouts; the IN
creaSing power and arrogance of the rich
class, etc, etc. must naturally lead to the
rum of the present system of private capt.
taistic production. Men of science from all
nations have declared that only the establish
ment Of a new system of production and dis
tributiOn, a more just social order, can pre-
vent the approaching crisis. There is and
has been much talk about social ism, but its
ri rs are not understood by many. The
people ought to be enlightened about this
great question. and now there'is good OPP
pOrtunity on next Tuesday evening.

barrels were taken by the mills. The mills
are threatened with a serious shortage of
water power at an early date, and the present
gait is not expected to be kept up very long.
Whenever such change occurs, the use of
barrels will diminish. and the shops suffer pro-
portionately. There are one or two shops OF
medium size which are sh 1rt of work. but the
remainder have all they can do, some OF them
even with increased forces.-Northwestern

The West Side Fewer.

Work on the gigantic West st. Paul
sewer has practically come to standStllI
for thewinter. except that part when Is 10
be a sand rock tunnel and which is eSpe-
cially adapted to winter work. Few who
have not particularly inquired into the
matter have any idea of the magnitude OF
the work which is being done by Contractor
4. S. Blodgett at price between $50. 900 and
500. OOU. 1t is the main sewer and outlet
for the proposed West side system and
runs from the river along Custer street 10
Plato avenue where it sets TO the
west one block and then follows
Starkey street to Isabel. Here 1t branches
enc arm following up Omega street 10
Susan; thence to Dakota avenue. and along
the latter to the corner of George street.
The other arm goes up Isabel TO Concord
and along the latter to State. The whole
constitutes mile and One-third of sewer.
of which about 3, 500 feet is completed. IN
cluding two-thirds of the large outlet, which
is a brick sewer seven feet in diameter, on
stone foundations. with fall OF only Two
tenths of a foot in hundred feet, running
nearly to Colorado street. A large number
of men have been employed
ON THIS JOB,
there being on Mr.. Blodgetts paw roll last
month 1872 hands, although there was con
siderable changing about. Besides thIs
the stonemasons. bricklayers and tenders
employed by the sub contractors bring
the number up to $50 in all. The Concord
and Isabel street branch will not be begun
until next spring. and Mr.. Blodgett expects
to start not later than May l. The part
from Isabel to Dakota avenue has already
been built, and during the winter work
will be continued on Dakota avenue. where
74O feet of the sewer will be in the sand
rock. This starts from sixteen-fo0t open
trench. and is forty feet under ground at
the farther end. A shaft has been sunk IN
the middle of this stretch. and drifting will
be duue both ways. Here the sewer Is
three feet and eight inches wide and seven
feet high. The number Of men employed
next season will be very large, though the
heaviest part of the job has been done.

FOOLISH TESTING.

Paul in certain place speaks in terms
of disapprobation of foolish talking and
jesting. We think his words may well
be emphasized in this country and age.
The bump of reverence on the modern
American head is not large. There is
very visible tendency to hghtness Of
speech and irreverence of manner
among US. We are disposed to criticise
the English for their dignity and con-
servatism, but we have need to ask
ourselves whether our national sense Of
humor and our irreverence are not pro-
ducing mental soil too shallow to
bring forth those noble, manly, and holy
qualities which go toward making up a
great nation. The Christian should
never forget the dignity of his high
calling, nor should he ever disgrace
himself by irreverence for the word of
God, the church of God, or anything
pertaining to our holy religion.-So,Oth-
ern Gturchmdn.

DYNAMITE AND ANARCHY.

The New York IfibuneS article on
the verdict in the Chicago Anarchist
trial contains the following excellent
passages
Dynamite, it must never be forgotten,
is European invention and not an
American idea. In every capital on the
Continent this insidious species of ter
rorism is dreaded. Russian revolu-
tionists have made deadly use Of ex-
plosives in tunneling under railways
and palaces and assassiuating Empe-
rors. In France, Germany, Belgium,
Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy and
England there have been frequent dyn-
amite plots and explosions during the
last decade; and officials and detectives
in every European country are to-day
taking active measures and exercising
unremitting vigilance against conspira-
tors and Anarchists. So rapidly has
this sanguinary method of agitation
been reduced to system that Stepniak,
one of the most philosophical Of the
Russian Nihilists, has protested in an
English magazine against the whole
sale naturalization in Europe of dyna-
mite as a political agent. Originally
European menace, it has been imported
by foreigners and introduced for the
first time on large scale in an Amer
lean city The Chicago verdict is the
decisive judgment of the liberty loving
American people upon this execrable
form of European terrorism.
This nation is teaching mankind to
abhor war, to live in peace and to make
industrial development the greatest
single force in modern civilization. 1t
is secure refuge for the discontinued
classes of foreign lands. 1t is work
shop for ill-paid artisans of every ma
tionality, a school for the education of
ignorant aliens, prosperous home for
the surplus population of Europe, a
land of promise for the least favored
classes of humanity. 1t is not an APP
prentice shop in the DEVILS trade of
murder and terrorism. In this verdict
against the Anarchists its voice rings
out clear and strong in denunciation of
enemies of the human race. Only one
of the condemned men is an American.
Seven are Europeans. America, which
is no wise responsible for the use of
dynamite as a political agent, sternly
sets its face against its naturalization
here. Itrepudiates it as crime against
modern civilization. 1t brands upon
each convicted Anarchists forehead the
mark of Cain. 1t says to every one of
these foreign eonspirators: "An An
archist is a murderer when he plots and
commits murder, and as murderer he
must be punished under American law"

GOING TO CHURCH.

Many church members seem to sup
pose that the reason for going to church
is simply to be taught and inspired !,
and that, if one does not feel like going,
the loss is all his own. But this is far
from being true. You go to church not
only for the good you can get, but for
the good you can do. You go to help
to kindle, by your presence, in the great
congregation, that flower Of sacred love
which makes the souls of those who
listen sensitive and mobile under the
touch of the truth. You go to help
others to listen; to help to create the
conditions under which they can listen
well. You go to help the minister
preach to add vitality and warmth
and convincing power to his words.
Good preaching cannot be produced by
one man it is the fruit of the COM
bined power of an inspired preacher
and an inspired congregation, acting
upon one another. If the people fail to
supply their part of the power, the work
of the minister will be much less effect
ually done.
If the people of the church generally
stay away from the preaching services,
or from any of them, those who come
in naturally infer that the church mem
bers do not highly value these services.
Their habitual absence disparages the
minister's work. But, even if the out
siders Loud not draw this inference,
they will certainly fail to receive that
positive spiritual influence which the
presence of the church members in large
force would be likely to impart. The
fact that the members of the church
can do much by their presence in the
sanctuary to make the preaching of the
Word effective, and the service of the
Lords house impressive and useful to
all those who come, is fact that should
be we'll considered before devoting the
best part of Sunday to ease and recrea-
tion.-Rev. Washington GLADDEN..

Mr.. Stead, editor of the Pail Mall
Gazette, has emerged from his retirement
to present the public an essay entitled
Government by Journalism" He states
that while England was for centuries
governed by kings, their rule was abol-
ished with James III. The government
by the House of Lords, which followed,
gave way to government by the House of
Commons. 1t is Mr.. Stead's opinion
that this power is being superseded by
the journalists, who constitute the real
governing power in England, and like
wise in the United States.

ystor. and, as the readers Of the Appeal
have been informed from time to time
did a great deal Of damage to property
there and threatened to do a great deal
more. The revetment Of the bank by
the government did a great deal To-
ward saving property in that locality,
and since the point began cutting away
all fear Of danger has ceased. As tree
after tree fell in from the Arkansas
side while the river was engaged 10
strengthening itself, the current set IN
lower and lower down. Up to the
present time about 900 feet has been
cut off Of the point and a big slice of
of the north end Of the sand bar. The
current now strikes a little below the
foot of Beale street, and is taking
huge mouthfuls out of the bank there.
An Appeal man who went over the
ground yesterday, and afterward called
at the Engineers Office, was shown a
mar by Mr.. Ross, of that department
which makes some startling reVela'
lions. 1t is plain TO the most casual
observer that the mighty river, re-
CARELESS of the rights of property, is
engaged in a steady and deliberate ef-
fort to appropriate a sufficient amount
of property of South Memphis to give
to its movement an easy, graceful
swing into Tennessee chute. 1t has
already made enormous strides in that
direction and it is not at all unlikely
that it may take a pinch out Of the
west side Of Shelby street before 1t
finishes. The old river on the other
side of Presidents Island, is already
deadwater, large quantities of land
have tumbled in about Nonconnah
creek, and every indication points to
a widening of Tennessee chute,
equal to the average width of the great
river.

Too Much Work IN School.

Philadelphia Times.
The Superintendent of the Boston
public schools in his last report again
calls attention to the evils of over.
working scholars, which he charges
has lately been done in that city to a
deplorable extent. He plainly tells
the teachers that it will not do for
them to lay the responsibility upon the
Educational Supervisors, who pre-.
scribe only lines of study, not hours of
results, and in the same vein asserts
his honest oil Election to the habit, COM
mon among many teachers, of educa-
ting scholars for a show. at is but a
poor compliment" he continues, "you
pay to your Supervisors when you as
sumo they will judge your work by
the number of questions your pupils
can answer and will look at nothing
else"
What has been said in Boston ap-
plies with equal force in other cities.
The course Of study for growing chill
dren which encroaches upon their play
is wrong somewhere and needs imme-
diate correction. The best results are
not obtained by o%verworking men,
and if that be true Of grown people
how much more so it must be of the
little ones. Between Rotations there
should be time enough to study the
next lesson. If there is not some one
or more of the Rotations should be
dropped. Above all the machine-like
commitment and recitation of any
stated number of lines is to be rejected
and condemned, no matter where they
be the rule.
1t is important that scholars at all
schools should learn rapidly, but it
would be better to go too slow than
too fast. Healthy bodies are worth
more to a pupil in after life than an
unbroken record of class honors
secured at a sacrifice of health. This
the Boston Superintendent seems tc
realize, and from the manner in which
he writes it is inferred that thost
under him will realize it too before
long. Certainly it is to be hoped they
will.

HON. N. C. BLANCHARD.

We are thoroughly convinced we
did this gentleman an injustice in our
issue of the 18th, and we hasten to
undo it. Our attention was first call
ed to the fact by the Greenville Times
and our member Of Congress, Mr..
Catchings, who is a member of the
Rivers anC Harbors Committee, which
Mr.. Blanchard also belongs to, writes
us as follows:
In your issue of the 18th inst, you
do great injustice to Hon. n. G.
Blanchard. He is n Of the most
efficient and intelligent members of
the House, and no man could have
labored more earnestly than he did, in
behalf Of the interests Of the Missis-
sippi Valley, both on the River and
Harbor Committee, and in the House.
He deserves the greatest praise for his
active and intelligent efforts in our
behalf. If we had a few more such
friends, full and speedy justice would
be done to the Valley.
