GOVERNOR FORAKER did not await for any
red-tape process, but at once forwarded tents
to the suffering people of Charleston. When
asked what he would do when called toaccount
for sending tents to that city without author
ity, he said he had confidence enough in the
patriotism and generosity of the people Of
Ohio to feel that they would approve the act.
In this respect the Governor of Ohio, a 'bloody
shirt" State, is much more to be respected
than he who is at the head of the Nation, and
who made no reply to the announcement that
city had been destroyed, and referred to it
only to acknowledge dispatch from Queen
Victoria expressing sympathy. In response
to this his secretary forwarded formal mes
sage acknowledging the receipt of the same.

The People Of Indiana-Here, why did you
pass that gerymander bill, DISTINGUISHING the
majority of the voters of this State?
Democratic Party-Because we passed bill

The People-Well, does the telephone bill
save anything to the peopleg
Democratic Party-No-o-o-, probably not:
but it's something.
The People-But what has the telephone
bill, bad as it is, to do with the fact that you
were afraid to trust the voters of Indiana?
Democratic Party-Don't know. Let's go
for the temperance plank of the Republican
platform We want to make the issue on

SOCIALISM IN AMERICA.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.


BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. 14.-Dr. Edward
Aveling fellow of University College, London,
and his wife, Eleanor Marx Avelng, youngest
daughter of Karl Marx, addressed an audience OF
some 1000 people here this evening, under the
auspices of the Socialistic-labor party. Dr.
Aveling, as preliminary to his address gave
the following description of the socialistic CAM
paign in America, which to-nights meeting in
augurates:
''The party has German and an American
section. The former is strong, the latter weak
To the German section Herr Wilhelm Lieb-
knecht, member Of the Reichstag one of the
leaders Of the Socialist party in Ger.
many, will speak in various parts Of
the State during the next three
months. TO the American section DR.. and Mrs
Aveling will give addresses, with an especial
view TO recruiting their numbers from the many
labor organizations of America. The Socialist
agitators believe that many workingmen, mem.
bers of these organizations, are in principle, So
cialists. They hope TO induce such men to
openly avow their socialism. and whilst by no
means neglecting the objects for which the
Knights of Labor, the trades-unious, the Central
Labor Union. and kindred organizations work
to regard these as only means to an end That
end, from the point OF view OF the Socialists,
should be the entire emancipation OF labor in all
lands from tho domination of capital in the
cessation of private property in the means Of
production. which will then be held by the COM
munity only for the benefit of the community.
This end will be sought By the Socialists through
the medium of education, organization and po-
litical action. They disclaim all communion
and any sympathy with the Anarchists. whom
they refuse to recognize as really Socialists
The aim and methods of the Anarchists the
three speakers from Europe wholly repudiate
though they look upon the verdict and sentence
of the Chicago Anarchists and the comments of
the press on these, as not justified by the evi.
dence adduced in court, and as prompted BIZ an
unreasoning public"
DIR. Aveling spoke TO night for about an hour
on the cause of the misery in the society of to-
day. which he ascribed to the way goods are
produced and distributed, and to the system Of
unpaid labor. e., that labor of the working
classes which is wholly for the benefit of the
workers and is wholly unremunerated. The
only remedy he claims, is the naturalization,
or rather Observation-Disclosures, OF the means OF
production
Mrs. Aveling spoke for about twenty minutes
on the position and work OF women. On Thurs
day the English speakers will be at New Haven.
and on Saturday at Meriden. On Sunday pic
mic and open air reception of the guests is to be
held by the labor organizations at one of the
New York parks On Monday and Wednesday
Dr. and Mrs Aveling aud Herr Lebknecht win
speak at socalstic meetings to be held at the
Cooper Union, in New York.

A DISPATCH from Maine, dated the day be-
fore the election, reads thus: 'The third
party Prohibitionists will be satisfied if they
can poll an increased and formidable vote,
while the Democrats will have nothing to
complain of if they compass the defeat of
Tom Reed in the First congressional district"
AS the returns are conned the day after the
election the conclusion is forced upon the
sympathetic reader that for the Maine Demo
Gratis and Prohibitionists this is the September
of their discomfort.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courer-J Journal takes this view of
the result of the election in Maine:
''The Republican victory in Maine to-day
was not unexpected, and was indicated in
these dispatches for week. past. The Re-
publican majority is largely increased, and
Mr.. Tom Reed the leader of the Republican
side Of the House, is returned by handsome
and fattering majority. He is brainy man
and fighter from Bitter creek. The result
shows that when Mr.. Blaine lets himself
loose in his own State, his influence is as pow
erful as it is amusing. The vote polled is
light, but the lightness comes from the Dem
ocratic side. Thousands of Democrats took
but little interest in the election. and hun
dreds of them remained away from the polls
This can be attributed to the fact that the ad-
ministration has snubbed the best working
Democrats in the Pine Tree State"

THE last gang Of revolutionists in Mexico
have announced that they will give one of
their unique performances on the 10th instant,
and no postponement on account Of the
weather. Their motto is to be- "The Consti-

reads good deal like the Democratic war-cry
of 1864, '"The Union as it is, the Constitu-
ton as it was" It may be remarked, his
torically, that the movement was not q
brilliant success. 1t is possible that the move
ment in Mexico may prove a fasco.

THE returns from the election in Maine
show that the prohibition vote was light, and
did not to any sensible degree interfere with
the interests of the Republican party. This
has not been because the campaign was not
carried on theoretically by the Prohibitionists,
for their speakers have been most active, and
have, as usual, employed the strongest terms
of denunciation of the Republican party. 1t
is difficult to understand why men who be-
lieve In prohibition should feel such hatred
for their old companions in arms aud so un-
qualifedly denounce them, to the evident help
of the ancient enemy Of all that is desirable in
temperance legislation. Yet such is the ex-
perience in almost every campaign, and for
some reason the advocates of prohibition al
low their prejudice to gain such hold upon
them that they seem to prefer the defeat of
the old party, to which they so long belonged,
to success in their own ambitions It is reas-
surfing that the people of Maine have not al
lowed themselves to be misled by these Wis.,
ionaries. II the prohibition law which has
so long been in force is not success, the fault
can not lie with the Republican party, which
has done all that could be done to enact laws
for the suppression OF the liquor traffic in that
State 1t will hardly do to confess that pro-
hibition is failure, for in that case it were
wiser to advocate that the prohibition law be
repealed and high license substituted This

it's success. The Prohibitionists Of Indiana
should reflect over the result in Maine.
