THE "BAR.o

Some of the members of the legal pro.
fession in Seattle have brought charges
against George yenable Smith and
Junius Rochester, attorneys of that city,
for the purpose of disbarrine them from
the practice of their profession. The
fight on these gentlemen is brought by
the proc Chinese alysmpires of Seattle,
and the charges relate to the trouble
which occurred in that city early in
February. It will be remembered that
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Rochester we're sup

the town of the Chinese, and gave large
sums from their private funds to aid in

dency of the times toward the curtailin ne
of individual liberty; )" and be does moi
know whether Socialism will be
reached before the movement swings in
the opposite direction" Poor fellow
he's in bad way: and as proof that he
is not sure as to which leg to lean upon,
I quote from his article: THE signs OF
the times point to the coming of days
when the forms of justice will be se-
riously impaired, and when individual
liberty will be remembered rather than
enjoyed"
In another paragraph he says: "Hu-
man rr gress is marked all along the
path of history BY evidence of the ebb
and flow in its motion. The ship which
is now upon the crest of the wave must
soon sink into the trough ofthe sea. So
the world tends in one age toward lib
erty and in another toward oppression. !"
And in another this: Through it all
will live the principle of justice"
Poor fellow; his canoe is in hetrough.
and the salt water fills his eyes so that
he cannot see that what he supposes is
the 'ebb" is but the travail of new forces
in the "fow" of progress.
Our morose philosopher is purblind
and seeth not with the eyes of enlighten-
ment. In the ages since civilization be-
gan mankind has steadily progressed In
intelligence, in an understanding of
Truth; and, though at times he has in
practices and systems eemed to return
to barbarism snd darkness, by this very
intelligence he has been able to descry
the false, and from the boiling caldron
of progress has skinned, with the ladle
of Revolution, the refuse which igno.
rance and avarice had deposited there.
As the percentage of dross becomes less
and less, hotter and hotter fires are re-
quired to bring it to the surface.
So let the ocean "ebb and f1ow;" let
"the crest of the wave" kiss the face of
the cloud; and man, that animal which
admits no bounds to his Progress will
strive ever onward and upward, through
fire and food, midst death and blood,
until he stands upon the mountain Of
Human Equality, in one hand mes
sage of peace to all the world, in the
other, the red banner of Solidarity.
And this, my purblind philosopher, is
Socialism.

lice in the Sixteenth precinct the surgeon

THE LONDON SOCIALISTS.

Soon after the uprising of the unem-
ployed in London, and when the excite
ment had, in this country, died out,
news came that four prominent Social
lists, Hyndman, Champion, Burns and
Williams, were to be prosecuted by the
government for inciting to riot. A few
days sincs the telegraph stated that
eight men had been convicted of partic-
ipation in the riots and sentenced to
penal servitude for from one to five
years. The item does not give the
names; but it leaves us to infer that the
Socialists who were on trial are among
the sentenced. The probability is that
such Is mot the case, and that names
were left out of the dispatch for the pur-
pose of creating an impression which the
capitalistic news-monge fatter them
selves would be discouraging to Social
lists in this country. But that is where
they make a mistake.
1t is almost certain that the persons
convicted and sentenced to penal servi-
tude were those who were part of the
fringe ofthe procession that marched
through the streets; as it is well-known
that these stragglers were those that pill
laged the shops.
But however it may be now or here
after the cause of Socialism will be ad-
vanced immeasurably by the prosecution
of the leading advocates. AS Mr.. Hynd-
man said himself just before the trial
began Whatever may be the result to
the acc lsed, the cause of Social-Democ-
racy must gain for thousands, we might
even say millions, of English-speaking
people who never heard of our opinions
before, will now learn something of what
they are. That alone is worth the risk"
Another benefit which has already
come from these prosecutions, is shown
in the proud readiness with which men,
bers of the Social League, which has
Uccu d llbtl6 db OuLo Will tuO DCuaO-
cratic Federation, came to the support
of the accused against the common
enemy. William Morris and BeIfort
Bax. of the League, appeared as bail for
the prisoners, and the League passed a
set of strong resolutions. Atouch of the
opppessor's paw draws all true men to-

SHARING PROFITS.

The principle of cooperation is being
endorsed by some well meaning manu-
facturers in this country, and several
have placed their establishments in
such q way that the employees share in
the profits. The press generally speaks
of this sharing as "an equal share" !"
While those who have taken this step
in advance are entitled to commenda-
ton, / do not see the necessity for tie
use of misleading terms.
1t is arrant nonsense to say that one
of the workmen in a manufactory where
500 are employed is an equal sharer with
the proprietor in any scheme Of cooper
alton which has yet been adopted. II

average workman is 500 in . year. and
the proprietor retains $50 and gives the
other $50 to the workman who created
the whole 500, superficial thinkers are
likely to say that the division was
equal; but he does not stop to think
that the employer then makes $50 on
the labor of each of his 500 employees,
aggreeating the sum of $25, 900.
The workman gave his full time and
intellect the employer gave no more
than this, for before the apro6to which
is divided is obtained, the employer de-
ducts cost of material used, rent, inter-
est, wear and tear. and his own princely
salary. These are part of the expenses
which are subtracted before the apro-
fits" can be ascertained. And let us
also bear in mind, that under the apro-
ftsharing" rule wages will be kept
down to the lowest notch this I do not
think needs any argument), and it is q
notorious fact that, the income OF the
worker, enhanced BY his share In the
profits, barely sufices to keep him and
those dependent upon him.

pie of cooperation is correct, and when
fully and logically applied to the actual
business of life, will be the solution OF
the labor problem J" but voluntary pro-
fit-sharing cooperation is child's-plav OF
the most frivolous kind, and but tends
to blind the workers and lead them as

in governmental cooperation and total
abolition of the "profit" systems in ally
and all forms.

of the pope's last encyclical jamprldem.
s'The letter is simply" says the Mirror,
"a logical condemnation of Socialism.
It's historical significance is derived from
the fact that it comedies with Prince
Bismarck's war on the Socialists of Ger
many. The holy father takes the ground,
which the church has ever taken -unal-
terable opposition to the Socialist propa-
ganda. There are elements of vicious
ness in every nation, but Socialism is
hardly one of the menaces of; the present
say that modified Socialism is practiced
by every civilized country-as in state
education, postal arrangements and all
other matters which can be handled
better by the government than bv pri-
vate enterprise. But the Socialism con-
demned in the jampridem is absolute
Socialism-the division of property

not to tell Prince Bismarck that the rem

cation of the clergy and in Catholic as

Strong-rooted plants have grown,

I.hor strikes, Lockouts, Beycotts, Wage
Advances and Cats All Over
the Land.

The history Of labor affairs in tht
United States during the past two weeks
beats all previous records. IT seems al
if the country has gone wild. and pan
demonium is not far off. The strike OF
the Gould system of railroads is the
biggest thing Of the kind since the grea'
trouble Of 1877. The public is pretty
well posted on this matter and it is I'M
necessary to press already crowded col
umns in printing all that has been ne
ported. The strike comes from more
than one, twoior three causes; it wa
first stated that the strike was ordered
because local superintendents at Fort
Worth discharged C. A. Hall because nc
was absent five days in attendance upon
knight of Labor district meeting q
Marshall, Texas. Then other grievances
were brought forward, until, at thu
writing, nearly every point on all the
roads comprising the Gould Southwest
ern system has mustered the courage to
demand the adjustment of wrongs, and
there is strike and suspension o.
business from the southwestern corner
of Texas clear into ST. Louis. Only the
mail trains are allowed to run, and al
st. Louis there are no ward men to gel
these ready to go out. There has been
no serious trouble as vet; but it is only
question of short time until there
will be. Ia
Superintendent Kerrigan, of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, issued an order at st. Louis
on Wednesday which looks very much
like war signal. 1t was to the efect
that all Knights of Labor (who wert
guarding the company's property
should be expelled from the yards o
tha company. 1t was also announced
that the company would attempt tt
start the freight trains upon its road OF
Thursday. An attempt of this kind wa
made at Fort Worth on Wednesday, bu
the strikers took the men from the en-
gines and side-tracked the trains. Th'
strike at present threatens to extend t
the eastern connections of the Goult
roads. -. ... -
There is a strike of streetcar employe
at Troy, New York. and those of th'
same avocation at Pittsburg are threat
ening to strike. There is a big strike OF
the apis in the factory district of New
England, and it has already burste'
through at several minor points. Th'
coal miners in some parts of Pennsylva
MIA have quit work and big strike il
threatened.
The other side of the dark pictur'
contains some announcements: Th'
miners at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, wh'
struck Monday last for an increase. of Il
per cent, resumed work Tuesday, th'
company conceding the advance.
The strike of the New York City car
penters and ioiners has been successful
Nearly all of the employers have granted
the demands of the men, ard the latte
have begun work again under an aver
age of $3.50 per dav of nine hours, ant
eight hours on SATURDAY..
All is comparatively quiet in the ia
west. with the exception of the Chimes
question; but the fires of diaconten

moment; and it would not be surpris
