THE NEW POWER.

The persecution of Socialists is as worldwide as the struggle for us tcc. but the number of Socialists is being SwclIcd from the ranks of the learned, the intelligent rich, the ln- tcIhgcnt poor, the workers with hand and brain. The enemies of Socialism who lay claim to ntelli- gcncc dare not attack 1t squarcly. They cndcayor to create prejudice by painting a ridiculous picture and then attacking their own handlwork. They persccute individuals for their opinions. And the handspring of their opposition is d miserable self ishncs8. The more ignorant Opp0- ncnts of the spreading science, like angry bats dazzIcd by the rays of an electric light, squeak their disapprO- b0tIon of doctrine they cannot yet understand.
 Calmly, like the rays of the sun warming and lighting and gIorifyng the earth, Socialism is developing the divine in man and endowlng  him with attributes that orst were credited to gods.

NOTES

It is just criticism which we print under the heading "What Others Say concerning the incon- sistency of the management with the principles of the Order of Knights of Labor. When that organization ceases to be progressiVo-ceascs to work towards the goal which its founders set up, then there is prac- tically but one result-rctrogrcssion and final extinction. Let true Knights ponder this, and act wisely.
 One of our valued exchanges pub lished in the Yankee State of Con necticut, speaking of the condemned "anarchists," says:
 We believe that these men are most cruelty wronged, that the rights of every man in this country are in their case tramyled upon, that free speech is jeop- ardized, and that the duty of every citi zen is to protest with all his might against the carrying out of the attro- CiOuS sentence

LIVE AND LET LIVE.

Henry George m hls article on the condition of the coal miners in Pennsylvania, published recently in the Norh .lmeriraH Rericw, shows that the tenants of the corporations novels have not even as much show as the Irish tenants whose cvictions have excited the pity of Americans. The power of capitalism is the same everywhere and we do not have to go far from home to see the brutal fly of the posscsSors of private prop crty, fortified as they are by dis criminating class laws-Iaws of con- spiracy enforced against working men only, factorIzing laws which do not allow poor man the benefit of bankrupt acts, eviction laws. by which | poor man s goods are thrust into the street, no matter how bad the weather, how much they may be damaged or how much hls family may suffer, with only the resource of d poor-housc made as hideous as the imagination can paint, by un- healthy surroundings and degraded humanity-worn out in the service of the rich-or made criminals by cir cumstanceS beyond their control, ad- ded to which is fostercd the sense of contempt for the poor by those for tunatc enough to keep outside, \ last resort which the civilization of the Nineteenth century offers to the million of unemployed is the altern- atiye of working for starvation wages, at prices fixed by the wealthy who would be more wealthy-by those who control the land and the means of production.

TT MUST DO OR DIE.

One by one the warnings come. What warnings? Why the warnings to the leaders of the great Order of Knights of Labor, that they must soon emphasize the necessity of pay ing more attention the fundamental truths contained in its Declaration of Principles, and less attention to the fighting of inevitable results.
 The New York Third Avenue car strike failure, the great Southwest ern railroad failure and now the great Chicago packing-housc failure, ought to serve as timely admonitlons of what is to come, if the present is not bad enough, and no lessons to be learnt from it.
 The founders of the Order under stood the Labor question, as is evi- denced by the proposition set forth for its solution. But the present leaders do not work on the lines mapped out. The organization is merely and enlarged idea of Trades misunderstanding against results while sustaining causes that produce them.
 Uriah Stephens saw that nothing short of the abolition of the wage system itself, root and branch, would obviate the eternal strife between Labor and Capital, and admit of any other system that would afford to the laborer an opportunity of receiv- ing>an equitable share in the results of the common production. 'Tis true, his successor and associates also admit the same doctrine, but do nothing to develop the Order towards a practical uniformity of action to that end A man may be a Knight of Labor, while acting in direct con- iliction with the declared principles of the Order, and still remain a member in good standing providing the technical point of paying dues is attended to. The platform of Prin- ciples may declare in favor of every reform now advocated, but member is at liberty to vote for candidates opposed to every one of them and still remain d "true Knight" if only the monthly "dues" are paid up, He may be tried, convicted and eX peIIed for the mere violation of somt technical rule or regulation, but hC is at full liberty to violate every fun damental principle upon which tn, Order is erected, without danger O being officially called to accoun from any source.

THE COST OF lDLENESS.

"A million of people out of cm- ployment, crippIing all dependent upon them means a loss to the con- sumptiye power of the country of at least 100000 per day, or a crip- bling of the trade of the country of over $500, 900, GOO per year. The earnings of the people involved in the classes named above would not be far from $500 each per annum, rep rcsenting total earnings of S,,999, ,l6, ,6OO. Six hundred dollars has been taken as an average income for the number used, because, according the best estimates this constitutes q fair average S400 as an average for those working for wages, and Sl, ,0oO for those who were working on sala- ". The constituent parts of the total number lead to the conclusion that $500, taking all into consdera- ton. is d fair average It is also probably nearly true that the poten- tial LOGO, ,00O out of employment could not earn than Sl each day for the subsistence of themselves and families, The wage-earnings then of the million that should be fully employed are crippled one-half, or to the extent of over $500, ,Ooo, ,000 per annum, sum sufficient to cause reaction in business. and q general curtailment of expenses, from which result apprehension and timidity among all classes. -Rep0rt ot' Cvroll 2.

THE MASSES.

In speaking of the working people | as q class tt is not intended to imply d small fraction of the people. The word "class'' in that connection has another significance. Still, when the Norning NeWs noticed the word in question in our platform, the thought came to us to substitute more proper and comprehensive word for the sake of argument. Let us say "mass' instead of class.
 The editorial in Mondays N0rN- ing NemS deserved and received much favorable comment from many of it's readers. It really seemed as if the NeWS intended to criticize fairly and independently, according to it's light. While the NeWS does not at present agree cntIrel y with al l the blanks and ideas conveyed in the first platform of a local political character ever promuIg gated, 1t still sees much in 1t to commend; and those points on which 1t differs, will in time, no doubt, become clearer as the NeloS progresses i'll its studies,
 t,t r,t says that "auy movement to rescue these individuals the Oppressed class of wage workers" from opprcs- sion will meet with the hcarticst support from the great mass of the American people, it seems to imag- inc that the great mass is some thing other than wage workers and their dependents. IIrt us see: New Haven has population of, say SO,- GOO. About lS.oOO of these are ac- tual wage workers, with. 1t Is safe to say, an average of two depending on each for support or at least partial support. That would make q total of 54,00O of this class. which we may assume to be "the great mass of American people, in this town, who, according to our argumcntatlvc friend, will give "hearticst support" to 'thcSe iadir1ual>. "Thesc indi- viduals,,"
 They will do nothing of the sort. They will for the most part support, grumblingly perhaps, the other ?6,- 900 by their votes on election day those of them who are electors. Per haps one or two thousand of the Oppressed" will vote against their oppressors and cast their ballots for the worthy nominees of the Labor Party.
 This the masses have ever done, and will continue to Go until they understand that they are of the pro letariat. Meanwhile the labor move ment will go forward, building up q respectable and influential minority

so NEAR, AND YET so FAR.

There has been much nonsense going the past week in reference to enough Republican Knights of La bor being elected to the Legislature to defeat the Republican candidates by that body, if they so choose to act; and there were hopes of their so acting, at least in the matter of a few of the state officers. Evidently the wish Is father to the thought, and the thought, first cousin to the effort of uslifg certain if'iuerces to- wards its c0nsummation. But 1t will not be done. The Democratic papers with their usual imbecility have killed any such chances. if they ever existed, by putting the Repub- lican managers on the alert for any such trick. But 1t must be all bosh,

STIfIK ES.

The Henry George movement is giving the capitalists press heap of trouble. You cannot take up a pa per without finding one or more col umns devoted to Henry George and his followers. Both the old parties claim that something must be done for the laborer, yet neither offer to do anything. They both want his vote without giving anything but tatfy in return. They have been in the habit of securing his vote in this way in the past and they can't break away from the old custom, but the George movement has shown them that the people have got tired of waiting for them to do something and have struck out for themselves. Hence this uncasiness on the part of the mourners. -- Lewiston { (M, ) it(r0cuie.

The strike is not yet thing of the past and the prospect of its be- ing superseded by arbitration is rather slim. The greatest objection that can be brought against a big strike Is the expense attending it. If the strikes are to be conducted to success, money must be raised with out stint to support those thrown out of work. If members of the labor organizations are going to "kick" at high dues, or object to paying their proportion of the eX- penscs of these struggles, then 1t is best not to go into them at all. There have been several strikes quashed just because they have proved too expensive for the means at command, and the stigma has in some cases settled on the district boards who ordered them in compli- auce to the pressurh of sentiment by the very men who later kicked at the cost. -HaErrhW Lab0rer.

recently travelled to Detroit, and took her
first ride in sleeping car. She was obliged
to take an upper berth, and retired early. In
the middle Of the night she startled the
whole car by series Of fortissimo shrieks.
The porter ran to her assistance, and, in an.
swer TO his inquiry as to her distress, she re.
piled that there was a man under her bed.
After forty years of patient waiting her worst
