THE ENTERING WEDGE.

The defeat of Henry George is no dis
appointment as the davs of miracles are
past, and the election of such a man,
representing such principle, would at
this time be little short of a miracle.
The united forces ofShYlock were against
him. From Maine to California the
money power joined its forces and
brought an irresistible pressure TO bear
against the man who represented the
common people. Looking, at it from
the standpoint of a Socialist there can
be no other conclusion reached but that
Henry Georges race for the Office of
mayor of the metropolis was the grand
est success of the century. 1t has struck
from the limbs of the workingmen the
chains of party aud emancipated them
from the slavery of partisanship.
1t has formed the nucleus of d grand
party whose constituent parts are being
brought into one centralized position,
where they will Crvstallize into COM
pact whole whose power will be 80 enor-
nous that within verv few years it can
sweep the country from sea 10 sea.
The votes cast for Henry George indi-
cate that Socialism is not regarded as
the horrible destroyer of all peace and
happiness for the siXty-seven thousand
votes represent that number as endors-
ing the basic principle and most impor-
tant demand of Socislism-that the land
belongs to the people.
The unanimous endorsement Henry
George has received. during'his canvass,
by the workingmen, and the intense in
'erest manifested by them for his sue
cess points out the possibility of his be-
ing at the head of the New Forces W hich
are just being marshaled to fight the
battle of the people against The shYlocks.
The ENQUIRER ventures the prophecy
the that in 1888 Henry George will head
a ticket with such man as Myron w.
Reed, Of Colorado, or Van Wyck, OF
Nebraska, ana that ticket will win.
The Labor enquirer., 1886-11-06
A LIVELY CORPSE.

At the time Of the ending of the Chi
cage trials the capitaistic press was
unanimous in coming to the conclusion
that Socialism was "throttled. dead and
buried for hundred years"
Now it seems it has suddenly resur-
rected itself and appears as a living, wig.
orous power.
The capitalistic Times of this city, has
gotten glimpse of this lively Socialls-
tic corpse, as witness the following:
The united labor party came 70 the
front in Chicago yesterday and elected
several members of the state legislature.
The party is the outgrowth of the recent
labor agitations, and possibly to a Ger,
tain extent of Soeialisric teachings"
The Labor enquirer., 1886-11-06

Wednesday evening, Oct. 28.-At a
mass meeting held under the auspices
of the Socialstlc Labor Party, Section
San Francisco, it was proved that the
Chicago Anarchists were unjustly con-
victed, and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, After impartial investigation
of the so:called Chicago Anarchist trial
we cannot find even circumstancial evil
dence to show that the condemned men
either committed these acts with which
thev were charged or had any connection
whatever with those who committed
such crimes, and
Whereas, The whole trial from the
very commencement up to the time sen.
tence was pr r)nounced, appears to have
been so conducted as to raise an i'll feel
ing of all peace and order loving citi-
zens against thes4 men, with the final
intent to hush free speech and crush out
labor organizations therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, citizens of the
citv and county of San Francisco, state of
California, in mass meeting assembled
express our full sympathy with the
condemned Chicago labor reformers,
and such sympathy shall never cease
until another trial, lawfully, manfullY,
unpreiudicially conducted would call
forth another feeling.
Resolved, That should the condemned
men not receive new and just t1ial,
we shall regard it as an attempt on the
part ofthe government to force us into
the horrors of forcible Revolution.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
printed and distributed among the peo
pie of California.
The Labor enquirer., 1886-11-06
A CHANGE IN FEELING,

That there was an almost unanimous
approval of the verdict against the COM
rades in Chicago at the time 1t was rem
dered is too true, but among honest men
who have since looked with calmer rea-
son into the facts leading up to that un-
Just verdict, there has been a great
change and their sense of Justice has
compelled them 10 q reversion of feeling
which naturally seeks expression in
words favorable to the victims of capi-
talist hate and prejudice, In proof of
the statement that agrest change in
popular feeling, as regards the justice of
the verdict rendered, the following from
the Chicago Herald is presented:

Hewitt In 1880.

The Chicago Times of Octoter 25 has
found letter written in 1880 by Hewitt
who has been elected mavor of New York,
in opposition to Henry George In that
letter he asserts as his opinion that
workingmen are entitled to the "un-
earned increment" now claimed bv
landlords; it being value created by
the community, while the owner of 1t
does nothing.
Mr. Hewitt then agreed with Henry
George in regard to the great land ques-
ton. But he has grown wiser, says the
Times, and confesses his former error.
Although he dwells, in the letter, on
the idle land owner who reaps the un-
earned value, he now says in his accu-
mulated wisdom, (or else his itch for Of
hce) that the idle man 1s entitled to the

STORMY TIMES AHEAD.
ReYoluttonists Created by the General
Oiscontent of the
People.

Peter B. Sweeny, of New Yerk, has
Just returned from a lengthy visit to
Europe and gives to representative O.
the Herald his impressions in regard to
the future of Socialism in the old world
"The subject is too large for the limits
of a conversation. The end of this con-
dltion of things is fast approaching The
sigLs are everywhere. Popular discOn-
tent is growing in Great Britain. The
Germans are natural lovers of liberty
And Germany of to-day seems to be the
great propaganda of liberal ideas. A
German is not satisfied with thinking
out the problem of life for himself alone
but when he has something in principle
or science that be thinks will help the
world he wants to spread the light
Hungary's efforts on the side of freedom
are known to all. Russia is honey
combed with secret societies conspiring
for freedom and representative govern
ment-embracing all classes, the high
and the low, the noble aud the peasant
the rich and the pOor-growing every
hour in extent aud influence, waiting
and watching for the opportunity to
strike the blow. The executive com.
miltee of Nihilists, addressing the late
emperor. said,-'The government may
continue to arrestand hang as ng as it
likes aud NAV succeed in suppresslng
single Revolutionary bodies, but this
will not change the state of things
ReVolutionists will be created by event
by the general discomfort of the whole
people: by the tendency of Russia to-
ward new social forms. An entire nation
cannot be suppressed
The increasing formidable distur-
Dances in Belgium and the recent out.
break in Amsterdam are warning signals
of the coming storm. 1t is only a ques-
ton when and how to begin, to combine
the energies of Individual life, the forces
of personal existence in one vast army
of universal emanclpation. Herr New
enhaus, the leader of the Socialists in
Holland, says: There will be stormy
times when the people are pushed bv
intense misery into action They will
be driven at the same time in other
places bv like cause. l can see but
one solution under providence for all
this mass of evils, and that is the spread
of republican government throughout
Europe. Standing armies are tie curse
OF the time-sacrifcing the manhood
and tn" best energies of the people to
war-with all the losses, sacrifices and
burdens which thev entail, would no
longer be a necessity.
ut may be in the coming struggle that
France will ligh the torch of liberty for
the old world, and that the tricolor. the
symbol of government by the people,
of liberty, equality and fraternity, will
be carried throughout Europe as the
flag of Revolution. Napoleon |. pre-
dicted that in fifty years Europe would
be either all cossack or all republican.
His prediction has failed as to time, but
great changes are at hand. Itwould be
no more than possible if repuhlicanism
should be extended bv the unexpected
consequences of an alliance between the
republican and the cossack."
