POLITICAL.

The City and Town Committee of the Labor Party here is busy settling up old accounts. and making ready for the reorganization of the politi- cal forces, During the past week several of the wards organized per manently, though we only have the particulars from two of them.
 The Ninth Ward has been the first in this city to report perma- ncnt organization. The members of the Labor Party of the Ninth Ward will meet regularly on the fourth Sunday of each month at l45 Dix well avenue. Then there is a com mittee of ten on organization and q committee of three on platform and tactics.
 The Third Ward Independen club met Thursday night and elected delegates to conference. It was the sense of the meeting to dispense with permanent chairman and to elect chairman for each meeting, Old officers hold over until this Is settled. Members contributed st. .25 to help pay election expenses.
 Those person who voted the lnde- pendent Labor ticket and who are willing to subscribe to the plat form adopted by the Labor Party in the recent election and residing in the Eighth Ward are requested to meet at Trades Council Hall next Wednesday evening, December 22 to effect permanent organization in the ward.

LABOR NOTES,

The printers of Vincennes, Ind, have organized union.
 A Ladies Assembly was organized in Terre Haute last Thursday. A consider able proportion of those joining the K. of l.. in Indiana.
 BALTIMORE, Dec. lG.--lt is reported here that a secret circular has been issued by Powderly ordering the withdrawal of Baltimore delegates from the Federation of Trades.
 During the past week the workingmen of New York have been absorbed in the fair which their lady friends arranged for the purpose of raising funds to purchase d press for the Leuder. As we go 10 press the fair is in progress and looks like grand success. It may be contin ued during part of the coming week.
 GREENEynLE, PA, Dec. LA union has been formed here by domestic serv- ants for the purpose of advancing their wages fifty cents a week. Any girl re- fusing to join the union is to be boycott ted, as are the merchants who refuse to pay the higher wages. The girls are united in the movement, and so far have gained their point. The movement is looked upon with considerable amuse- ment, but no one seems inclined to Op- pose the action of the girls.
 YOUNGSTOWN, O., Dec. 15.-All the leading coal mines in this locality are idle, with little prospect of settlement, the men coming out because of the refu sal of the operators to concede an ad- vance of ten cents per ton in accordance with the decision reached at the miners convention held here last Wednesday,. Several small country banks, employing only few men. are still running. The miners at Mineral Ridge, west Of here, are working on condition that if other miners are given the advance they are also to receive 1t. The outlook indicates a long strike.

SOCIALISM IN MINNESOTA.

The idea of trying to organize an American Section of the sOcialstic Labor Party, grew out of the i'm pulse given to the SociallStic move ment here by the recent visit to St. Paul and Minneapolis of Dr. Ed- ward Ayeling and his wife. Conso- quently the German and Scandina- yian followers of that movement called a meeting Sunday afternoon, November 2lst, in Minneapolis, for the purpose of organizing an Ameri- can Section, and the speakers were Messrs. Eyert Nymanoyor and A. Becker. Seven gentlemen signifcd their desire to join the Party. They did not, however, organize until Sunday afternoon, November 2Sth, after addresses by Messrs. Otto lIaesc, Gellerup and Eyert Nyman- over, The following gentlemen were elected as officers on the Executive Board in the new American branch: Mir, A. l.. Gardner, organizer; Eyert Nymanover, secretary; G. Gundcr- son, treasurer; and F. Gellernp financial secretary. After this the meeting adjourned until December 9th, when the new Section had Q meeting together with the Germans and SGandinayians.
 December l2th, the American Section had another mass meeting in Martins Hall for the purpose of discussing the Constitution of the Soclallstlc Labor Party, when Prof. Mercy, Gellerup and Nymanoyor were the principal speakers. The audience was large, and much inter est was taken in the discussion of Socialism. The movement has evi- dent y great future in this State.
 Satisfaction was expressed in re- gard to the WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE, and solid support promised. 1t ls intended to organize Sections all over the State the coming year.

strong branch at this important cen ter. and has held most enthusiastic meetings. He has also held meet ings at Wolyerhampton, Millcnhall, and other towns in the neighbor- hood, and has received a warm wei come. From Glasgow, the great industrial center of Scotland, our comrades have formed branches, at Edinburgh, Coalbridge, Greenock and Paisley. At Northampton our members have displayed great ener- gy in the unemployed agitation. They have waited on the magistrate, the mayor, the guardians, the yes tries, &c., to enforce the right of the victims of our present capitalist so ciety to live by useful labor. Pend ing the decision of the local authori- ties they started collecting funds by means of subscription lists for the benefit of the unemployed. Some of those who took part in this were illegally and arbitrarily arrested as vagabonds by order of the Chief Constable of the town. Orders have been issued that all those found col lectlng money for the unemployed are to be at once arrested. and treat ed as vagabonds. Yet nothing is done against those who are con stantly visiting houses, appealing for funds for charitable purposes got up by the middle class. The reason of this is, of course, clear. The domi- nant classes do not fear the effect of charity; they do the effect of Social Democracy.
 Troublous times are in store for Ireland. The Tory Government true to its aristocratic traditions, in- tend to uphold the extortionate de- mands of the landlords by force. Meetings have been held. Meetings have been proclaimed and arrests made. Coercion reigns supreme. The General Council of the Social Democratic Federation passed last night at their meeting a resolution of sympathy with the Irish. and pledged the body to aid them in their resistance to the oppression of the Tory Government and the grasp ing exactlons of rack-renters.

CREATING SYMPATHY.

A ragged boy threw stone at one of the windows of the German Inn perial Palace and broke a pane of glass, The poor devil was arrested and the people had a grand opportu- nity to display their loyalty, which they improved by shouting ''Es lebe der Kaiser". There is a striking similarity between this little episode and the alleged poisoning of Chica- go's Hog Kaiser, Armour, The wages of the ''miscreants" are prob ably regulated according to the iron law of supply and demand.

 On Friday, December 10th, a meeting was held at pttsburg at Lafayette Hall. It was not very large one, which is the more surpris- ing when we take into consideration the fact that the workjngmcn are here larger percentage of the whole population than perhaps in any oth- CT town. And yet it is not so sur prsing as it looks. These poor men are so worn out, so exhausted after the long days heavy work that to creep home and sleep is all they can care for. But there is no reason to despair. A small start among the Americans has again been made. and we hope soon to report good Section of the $. l.. r. here. An other reason for our being of good cheer is, that at the very same hall where the Ayelings spoke to some l50 people the old AboIitionists held MeW first meeting, and as an old American stated, to far smaller au- dlonces. The old Abolitionists ney- frCheloss were victorious, and chat tel slavery is thing of the past. Our old aholitionists will achieve victory also, and wage-slavery also will be thing of the past.
 Three or four big pittsburg bosses called at the Avclings' hotel late in the evening after the meeting, and admitted the present system is un- just, thought Socialism "Utopian, " and that q graduated income tax would settle everything. What great movement has not at some time been called Utopian? We can only hope these good bosses may live to see the practicablity of Socialism,
 During the past week the Ave- lings lectured at Willlamsport, Bal timore, Washington and Whining ton (reports of which appear in ncxt number), and then returned to New York, where meeting will be held on this (Sunday) evening, On the 25th the Avelings expect to sail for England.

TIE following from the Searcy
Beacon is about the size of our ideas
upon the subject alluded to:
We are not running this aper for
glory or fame; neither is it our OBJ
ject to amass n fortune by it. In
either undertaking the chances are
that we would meet with disappoint-
mcnt. Our object is to make an
honest living, and with that purpose
in view we are forced to decline to
give free advertising to men aspir-
ing to state offices, or other public
positions. Our columns are open
for announcements at regular rates,
and if an announcement through
these columns is worth seeking it is
worth paying for.
These remarks are made in reply
to certain modest hints which we
have received from prospective can
didates, who seem to entertain the
idea that an editor can live on wind
and that he ought to feel compli-
mented by being permitted to puff
them free of charge.

Dear TIMES: Seeing so much in

too.
The East side of Frenchmans Bayou
is on boom, the citizens of this side
have commenced farming, every
thing is moving on lively; Mr.. II. E.
Lee Wilson is having a fine dwell
ing put up on his farm, and will
move into it as soon as il is compile
ted, which will be in a few days; it
is being put up by Messrs. J. f., J..
NJ. & B. +. Greer.
Mr.. J. NJ. Greer has pat up a
spanking bran new shop at the south
west corner of Mrs. Julia Hills farm,
now cultivated by J. n. Hill. Mr..
Calvin Greer is the polite smith aud
is now ready to do any work that
may be brought before him.
Mr.. j. NJ. Greer has also put up a
new dwelling Oh his land near his
shop, Of which Mr.. Calvin Greer is
the occupant. B. l.. Hill has put up
new dwelling. Mrs. NJ. f. War
ren has had new building put up
and some Improvements done on the
upper end of her farm.
Messrs. O.S Wigley and II. +.
Lee Wilson are having some tenent
houses put up on their farms, which
| suppose will be occupied as soon
as they are completed. This is what
call big boom for this (the East
side of the bayou, don't know what

we would have things done up in a

box in speaking of the Pill Bags.
When Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, it was for the chill
dren of Israel to look upon to be
healed of the bites Of serpents that
had bitten them for their evil ways.
Now | tell you Mr.. Editor, health
has been SO much better here this
year than it has been for years before,
we have not looked apon the "Pill
Bag" for our health as the children
of Israel did upon the brazen serpent
Tor their healing, and if health con
tinues as good as it is now, the Pill
Bags will have to be laid aside, as
the brazen serpent was after the chill

lN view of the pending strikes
the struggle between Capital and
Labor-the Dardanellc Post says:
ave take the position, as a jour
nalist, that 1t is the duty of the rich
to help the poor; the strong to aid
the weak; the shrewd t. protect the
stupid; the sane to guard the crank.
Under feud alism it was a misfortune
to be physically weak. Under the
present high civilization it is misfor-
tune to be mentally weak. The re-
formation was a grand stride head
ward. bnt there remains a grander
stride to be made when the combin-
ed wealth of the world controlled by
giant intellects, schoolcd, educated
and trained and organized for the
purpose of appropriating to them
selves the product of those who toll,
shall have been stopped by the rec
ognition of an involved principle of
justice. And until our legislatures
learn to observe this fundamental
princip pie of intelligent humanity our
people need not expect immunity
from outbreaks Of lawlessness. The
strike is the result of a cause. The
cause is injustice. We would not hy
any means be understood as approx
ing the lawless interference of s:rik-
ing workmeh with the duties of 9TH
er men or the property of other men,
but the alarming frequency of these
outbreaks point too plainly to a reign
of terror if not provided against. 1t
may do to talk OF men as they ought
to he, but when the legislator comes
to do he must remember men as they
are. Tins is not communism but
common sense, aud to call the atten-
tion of the public to the question
and aPk what they propose to do, is
the Journalists simple duty.

with him in the evening to the house
of an acquaintance, where they were
going to have a kind of musicale, at
which there was to be some noted
pianist, who had kindly consented to
play few strains ! did not get
the name of the professional, but !
went, and when the first piece was
announced saw that the light was
very uncertain, SO | kindly volun-
teered to get lamp from another
room. ! held that big lamp, weigh
ing about twenty-nine pounds, for
half an hour, while the pianist would
tinky tinky up on the right hand, or
bang boony bang bang down on the
bass, while he snorted and slugged
that old concert grand piano aud al
most knocked its teeth down its
threat, or gently dawdled with the
KEYS like pale moonbeam simmer
ing through the bleached rafters of
a deceased horse, until at last there
was wild jangle, such as the ac-
corplished musician gives to an in
strument to show the audience that
he has disabled the piano, aud will
take a slight ihtermission while it is
sent to the junk shop. With sigh
of relief | carefully put down the
twenty-nine-pound lamp and my
friend told me that | had been stand
ing there like liberty enlighten,ng
the world, and holding that heavy
lamp for Blind Tom.
