On Monday morning last Socialist
manifesto was found posted on the walls
of Posen, in Poland. The placard called
upon the workers in thst towns, the peas,
ants, and the small shopkeepers to rise
against the upper classes, the aristocracy,
the church and the government. The
manifesto remarks that at Moscow,
Paris, London, Brussels and throughout
Europe the people are preparing to rise,
and ends with "Hurrah for the Social
Revolution."

FOOD ADULTERATED.

The increasing ra5cality of coI1mer-
cialism is, becoming more glaring each
year Thensd rush for the almighty
Edoliar DESTROYS every honest impulse.
Through the rn3h and crush of the COM
petitive system men become demons
whose every breath brings misery to
their fellow creatures.
The badness-the intrinsic rotteuness
| of this system is in no way sI)wn to
greater advantage than in the adultera-
ton of foods. This particular branch of
the trade of commercial rascaliby, born
of the competitive system, isterSelY and
admirably exempliied bv the following
| from the Chicago Tribune:
A prominent manufacturer of pure
goods was talking with a department
man in one of tile wholesale grocery
houses gently and offered his products
at certain figure. The department
man said 1--WE cannot pay that price for
any goods of that variety, for we cam OF
sell them IN competition with 5
goods"
Yes understand that" replied the
manufacturer, "but our goods are aus
lutte pure, while IS, as you know, are
largely adulterated " it'll some cheap for
eign substance"
Il don't give damn ho" badly they
are adulterated," was the reply. They
can be made of manure, as far as | am
concerned, if can buy them at a price
that will enable me to sell to the trade
and compete with other dealers-at the
same time making money"
The honest manufacturer is compelled
to be a swindling adulterator or get
crushed out by his dishonest competitor
who enters the market with his ingenl-
ously adulterated goods and sells them
for what they are not-pure goods.
This same paper SAYS, The great life
of trade-competition-- made some
of them forget what constitutes NOR
alltY." Yet the Chicago Tribune up
holds this system while out of its own
mouth comes the condemnation of this
MISUNDERSTANDING monster it calls the
great life of trade"
Why will men continue to defend and
bolster up this damnable thing they call
the great life of trade" while admitting
that it is the great death" of honesty
and morality
They do so because their moral sense
has been 80 blunted by constant associ-
alton WITH and protting by, this miser
able system that honesty and morality
are things to be spoken of only as the
harlot speaks of virtue and purity-with
a COntemptuOus laugh.
That fraud and swindling are not con
fined to any one line or mode is shown
by the following frome the same paper :
1t is currently reported-in fact, has
already been published in a certain trade
paper that we'll knO eastern dealer,
working in cOllusiOn with an equally
well known California packer, is putting
up eastern peaches in cans with the
label OF the California firm upon them.
The r ason for this is apparent. The
California goods are worth about 80 cents
more per case than eastern peaches and
as the California peach crop is short
one this season the genuine goods will
be scarce, and peaches put up bv these
two concerns can readily be sold and
consumed without any one being the
wiser for it.
Verify the competitive system Is the
great life" of trickery, fraud, genteeI
robbery and legalized dishonesty.

1t Is refreshing to find paper which
will admit articles to its columns con.
demning the manner in which those
eight men in Chicago we're tried and
condemned to death What is to be the
result of this attempt on the part Of the
money power to take away the right ol
free speech? There would be no ques
ton as to its result if the working peo-
pie understood what the howl of the
vile capitalistic press and its minions
meant, but that they do not understand
is evident from the fact that working
men and women can be found on every
hand who applaud the hanging of these
men in Chicago.

the question of where are the people to
come from who are to help US sustain

ACTUAL count of the space devoted to
Socialism in two issues of the Chicago
Tribune, October 4 and s., shows that
FIVE and quarter columns are given to
a doctrine which it claimed, at the con-
clusion of the Anarchists trial, was
dead and buried for hundred years to
come. The Tribune doesn't devote five
and quarter columns to dead issues. 1t

The prediction repeatedly made that
the wisdom of Secretary Bayard's firmness
in the Cutting affair would be fully vim
dicated in speedy change in the attitude
of the Mexican authorities towords citi-
zens of the United States sojourning 10
that country has already been fully veri-
fed. The State Department has just re-
ceived an order issued by President Diaz,
the chief executive of Mexico, which has
also been distributed throughout the Mex
lean states, from which it appears that the
Cutting episode and the action of our
State Department in relation thereto are
beginning to bear good fruit, which will
doubtless benefit Americans now and here
after under arrest in Mexico. Secretary
Bayard has been profusay criticised for
his course in this matter, but when the
far-reaching importance of the principle
for which be has contended comes to be
appreciated as it must be, the people OF
the whole country will rejoice that they
happened to have at the head of the State
Department at this time a man with suffi-
cient frmness and sagacity to challenge,
as soon as it was put forth, pretension
Oh the part of Mexico which would be a
standing menace to the peace of the two
countries and practical surrender of our
autonomy of government.

A war cloud has seemed for the ps st
week to hover over the horizon of Europe.
The deposition of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria, which was silently done by a
conspiracy headed by Karaveloff, the
Prime Minister, afforded an unusual coup
de etat and created quite cemmotion a.
mong the crowned heads of Europe The
affair was SO we'll planned and quietly
done that the Prince was taken away out
of the country by a Russian ship before
the people knew anything about it. The
evident completely of the Russian govern
ment in the revolution babe fair to give
rise to an international dispute of no
mean proportions, but the people have
since arisen and overthrown the govern
ment of the conspirators and Alexander
has returned in triumph to reclaim his do
minions. 1t is probable that the prompt
suppression OF the revolution and restora-
tion.of the rightfu ruler may serve to dispel
the war clouds that had begun to gather,
but there may still be some complications
growing out Of the affair that may consti-
tute casus 6eNi between some of the great
powers.

The death of Rev. Alexander J. Drys-
dale, who, on Thursday of las. week, was
elected Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Easton, comprising the Eastern
Shore counties of Maryland, will necessi-
tate the assembling of the convention for
the fifth time to choose successor to the
late Bishop Lay. Prior to the election Of
Mr.. Drysdae the convention elected three
clergymen, all of whom declined-Rev. G
Williamson Smith, D. D who was chosen
November 1S, 1885; Rev. Chauncey c. Will
liams, elected December Is, 1885, and Rev.
Kinloch Nelson, D. D., elected June 2
1885, The failure to elect bishop who
would accept seems to have been mainly
due to the fact that the clergymen chosen
were so situated that they did not deem it
advisable to make the change, and the
suggestion has been made, in view of the
repeated failures, that it would be we'll to
confine the choice to the ciergymen To-
Gated in the diocese, who have the advan-
tage Of familiarity with their surround
ings, and are already at home among the
people of the diocese. We hope the good
people of that diocese may vet succeed in
finding a worthy successor Of the lamented
Bishop Law.

The Democrats of the Eighth Virginia
District are having a particularly hard
time of it in selecting a candidate for Con-
gress. The district is now represented by
the Hon. John S. Barbour, who has gone
off to Europe, and declines denomination.
The convention met in Alexandria some
weeks ago, and after taking nearly 200
ballots in vain. adjourned for couple of
weeks to get second mind" The lead
ing candidates then were Lee, Meredith,
Foster and Hume. The convention met
again on Wednesday of last week, and
after fruitless session, lasting until five
o'clock Thursday morning, adjourned sine
die, thus sending the whole question back
to the people. and making it necessary to
elect a new set of delegates and hold new
convention. 1t is thought probable that
Lee will eventually lie nominated. He had
a clear majority on the last ballot, but the
two-thirds rule, under which the conven-
tion had to act, crowded him out. The
knights of Labor, however, oppose Lee,
and for this and other reasons an effort
will be made in some parts of the district
to instruct the new delegates in favor Of
Barbour, in the hope that he may be in
duced to run again.

The United States treasury makes a
handsome showing under the management
of the present administration. There was
a net increase of cash in the year ended
June 80, 1885, of 64,416,6s3. In the year
following $ss,9o1, $50 of the principle OF
the public debt was paid. besides s5,o54,-
729 added to the cash balance, the total
gain for 1886 being $9s,9e6,5ss. The net
revenue in 1886 was 1886 6,439, ,7a7, an in
crease over 1885 of $1a,749,O2O. Expen-
diture in 1886 was $242, ,4S3,1Ss which
was $17,790,S94 less than in 1885. despite
the fact that pensions cost s., ,s02 500 more
in the former than in the latter year. The
actual decrease of expenditure for the first
full year of Democratic administration
was therefore $25, $685. 400.

The political campaign in Tennessee
presents this year the rare spectacle of two
brothers as the opposing candidates for
Governor of the State. The Democrats
have nominated Hon. Robert L. Taylor as
their candidate, while Hon. Alfred Taylor,
his brother, is the Republican nominee
Both candidates are said to be gentlemen
of ability possessing rare powers of elo-
quence in debate. 1t is proposed to have
joint discussions throughout the canvass
which will make the campaign one of un-
usual interest. There is no doubt, how
ever, of the election of the Democratic
Taylor, as the State is largely Democratic,
and the party is united and on good
fighting footing.

A sin gularly tenacious impression exists tina,

A singularly tenacious impression exists that
Mr. Cleveland is pledged not to accept another
term in Office. No amount of contradiction OF
explanation seems to avail to shake this idea in
some minds. In his letter accepting the noni-
nation in 1884 Mr.. Cleveland said he thought
should prohibit second term. This is very
different thing from saying that a man ought
not to accept a second term, the law being
what it is. Nothing that Mr.. Cleveland has
ever said justi6es the belief that he is pledged
not to accept denomination.

The convention of delegates rep
resenting Federation No. 3 met in
Cumberland Tuesday.
President Hughes delivered an
address Of welcome replete with
declarations of fraternal sentiment
and phiIanthroplc purpose. While
''those who earn their bread by their
daily toil' were mentioned as special
beneficiaries of the school of thought
which embraces the didactics and
ethics involved in the great in
dustrial problems Of this age, the
employers were included as needing
tuition also. 50 great, in fact, is this
need that, like the employee, the en-
ployer does not yet understand" the
primary tact "that the interests Of
the two are identical.
Hence, of this and similar aims of
the convention we have nothing to
say by way Of criticism. But we do
regret to record the subioined note
from the Cumberland Times
The convention then went into
secret session, and up to 4 o'clock this
evening was still sitting-represent
tives of the press being excluded.
We apprehend, Of course, that the
reason assigned for this exclusion Of
the public from auditing delibera-
tions of so much concern to so many
people-dellberations begun openly
with q flourish Of bencfcent aims
are regarded as alI-suf1icient.
But this is a rock strewn with
wrecks OF ''good intentions" and
''noble works. Public opinion in q
free country has never fully trusted
those who would not take the public
into their confidence in matters
where popular interests Or rights
were concerned.
So that all organizations of cap
itaiists, or labOrers, or politicians,
whose plans, acts, methods, DEGREES,
pains or penalties are invisible or not
renewable by the public, are out of
consonance with the genus Of our
institutions. For this cause laws
Of incorporation of societies have
been passed that those which need
legal protection (and all do) may
nave opportunity to state explicitly
the objects of the organization. If
those objects involve no matter Of
public concern it need not excite any
public suspicion.
But a secret organization, estab-
lishcd and conducted with a public
purpose, no matter how good, Is
bound to invite public distrust.
And, in our Judgment, no such
movement, whether Of capltalistic or
socialistic complexion, will finally win
TO do 50, its pioneers must first
wipe ont the greatest and Oldest of
American MISUNDERSTANDING of per-
sonal liberty.
