TFREE AND INDEPENDENT" Observations of a Visiting Observer
 in the United States.

We have lately had one or two such interesting examples of the great ''advan- tages" and freedom" (see capitalist pressl enjoyed by the happy working classes uf A;he Siea, th4s want t.se real CTS of the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE to learn afthaa also. hope thay vii te IT!y tharkful for the benefits conferred thus nob!y upon their fellow-workers.

 Example No. we had at Indianapolis, Ind. At No 29 and 3l Washington street, in that town, Messrs. Charles Mayer X Co.,, have large toy shop, and the door admitting to their said toy shop is particularly big, heavy one, requir- ing almost q mans strength to push open. But such is the depravity of workingmen that even for opening a heavy door they would want decent

who neglects to carry them out. The Cardinal should inform him self on the grave and growing ques- tion of the hour, and not confound so many opposites as one and the same thing.
 Capitalist papers are growing over the alleged fact that ,O00 signatures wore gathered for G. F. McNelll, who was reported as the labor can didate for Mayor of Boston, and only $500 votes were cast for him. We are informed that those signatures never were obtained, and that Mir. McNeill did not receive the noml- nation of the Labor Party. It is also stated, in a Boston labor paper, that MT. McNeill assisted in distri, outing republican" tickets at the last State election. Whether thcs, charges are absolutely reliable ol not, it is q positive fact that many old, true and tried labor men 1T Boston believe them, and publicl, denounce Mir. MeNeilI as an ambi tious politician. We suggest tha the Bostonlans follow the good eX ample of New Haven when they or ganize an honest Labor Party, an( refrain from nominating "promi nent' Knights or other "prominents' for office. This advice will holC good for almost any city, and vii keep able agitators where they be long the battlefield.

the cry goes up at every election that bribery is rampant. Even the cor rupt parties charge each other with such practices. Under the present system a hcclcr who has paid brlbc- money may follow up his debased and purchased tool and see that he votes according to agreement. With secret ballot system enforced, the bribcr would be placed at dlsad- vantage, and would not trust to the "honest' carrying out of a dishonest agreement by q dishonest or sorely- tempted, poverty-strickcn wretch.
 To make the secret ballot effective it should be compulsory upon all voters. No halfway measure is wanted,
 Let the workingmen agitate this question, and see that bills are pre-. scnted in the various legislatures, in order that they can be put on rec ord, at least, as in favor of an honest vote, or, on the other hand, of cor ruption and bribery.
 We cannot expect much from tho bourgeois legislatures, yet this is SC reasonable a measure, and to refuse it's enactment is so gross and plair an indication of corruption, that il would seem good tactics, even among politicians, to favor a compulsory SC cret ballot system.

RETROSPECT.

As the old year draws towards q close, thoughts of the days that are fled crowd gin upon us and move us to quiet little communion with our readers. Those who have shared our thoughts for the past year we have come to regard as comrades and friends. and we trust that there IS q reciprocative feeling for the WORK MEMS ADVOCATE.
 Whether our labors have been in vain or have been crowned with a measure of success, Is not alone de- cided by our increasing subscription list, but by the advancement of those who have come under the in- fuence of our comradcs and friends, the readers of our paper.
 When an esteemed brother from ono of our ncighboring towns called at the office of the ADVOCATE a few weeks since and told us with joy that he was a Socialist, there was no need of any pledge stronger than the hearty grasp of his hand and the knowledge, on our part, that the good brother was an honest man, and had been Socialist for years without his knowing it. There was no need of a pledge from us, for had our good friend not partaken of the same thoughts with us through the columns of our paper?
 Cur paper, Comrades, do you know what that means? It means more, we think, than that we hay, so much property as ls reprcsentc' in the plant. Does it not mean tha we have bond between us that vii bring us closer together in pracuca work? Does 1t not mean that th' agitation of the great question ls t' De carried forward with greater of feet, and that we shall have at leas a means of defense against the lnsIn nations of the encmy's powerful press?
 Then let us do our utmost to buil up our paper and make 1t still nor influential by spreading it even mor widely. With it's material success will come certain improvements tha will add to its value. Already WI have the assurance of assistance iron our best writers, and If we would il turn assure them that their yaIuabl assistance is appreciated we must no permit them to go materially unrc wardcd. This can be accomplished by unremitting and persistent en deavor on the part of those who ap preciate the importance of the pres us a most potent factor in the la Dor movement.

NOTES.

If Noah, of ark fame, had lived till the present time, and had received $50,O0O per year just what we pay our president of 60, GOO ,0OO people-a had saved every cent of it, he could only have saved up as much as the dead Vanderbilt made" in q single generation. - Pioneer Co., Operdtor.
 This is no doubt bit of mathe- nautical information, which will en- courage the disciples of the Atkln- son school of economies.
 If the Knights of Labor in this city were organized in trades assem- plies instead of as at present in mixed assemblies, and if each assem- ply were composed of a smaller num- Der of members, there would be some reasonable hope of actual benefit for the working people through that organization of lofty ideas and made quate tactics.
 An esteemed contributor, speak ing of Mrs, l4angratf's folly and fall, seems to incline to the idea that her folIy was characteristic of woman. Merely good quality perverted, we should say. There are bosses of the "sterner' sex who have acted quite as foolishly ' as the woman, l4andgraiT, in regard to their employees and Organized Labor.
 There seems to be more excitement among the Knights of Labor of Amsterdam. N. I., over the alleged publication in newspaper of their secret work than over the practi- cal robbery of their earnings by their bosses. Singular, isn't It, how peo- pie will worry over trillcs and calmly submit to great wrongs: Still, Am stcrlam is one of the most progress sivc labor centres, and the organized workmen there have distinguished themselves on more than one occa- sion.
 Cardinal Gibbons, last Sunday. in dedlcahng a church at Baltimore, Md., warned his hearers in an ad- dress to set their faces against those pcrnicious schools of anarchy, social. ism and nihilsm and other danger. ous organizations, whose apostles ar, striving to destroy, but make nc effort to build up.

This marvellous me tropolis ranks first among the manutac, turing towns of the United States, as she does i'll so many other respects. Philadelphia used to lead in manufac- lures.

Weather of late has been quite
cool, though bright and sunny. The

hills Immediately surrounding town
are now covered with any amount of
fine grass.
Contracts have been let by the Ban
mock Mining Company for 100000
brick, 5000 bushels of coal, 100000
feet of lumber, 5000 cords of wood
and 100000 pounds of freight via
Blackfoot. By these indications it
would seem that this company mean
to push the building and immediate
operation of their 2O-stamp mill, Just
below town. Their mi'lsite location
is peculiarly we'll situated for conven-
ince in building and operating a
quartz mill, and the brick yard now
preparing Is situated so that the brick
can be wheeled right to the mill, in.
stead of hauling by teams. Clay of
good quality is found here, thus in
surfing plenty of good brick for all
who desire to use them in future
building.
