THE PREACHERS.

The working people of this commtl-
nifty have cause to congratulate them
selves upon the stand taken by major
ity of the preachers of Denver. There
is not city in the union where SO large
a portion of the resident clergy are in
terested in the labor question as here,
and there are few anywhere who are 30
willing to get right down into the merits
of the subject, as are several of Denver's
preachers. The preachers association
of this city has shown an earnestness in
this matter by inviting members of the
Social League to appear before their
meetings and explain and discuss Social
ism, and several of the gentlemen have
rendered their services to speak before
the League. Myron W. Reed will ad-
dress the League on to-morraw evening,
and Bayard Craig on the following Sun
day evening; while several others have
promised to give us an evening as soon
as possible. Thomas Van Ness has al
ready spoken at our meeting. and he is
ready to help us when he can.
While all of these gentlemen do not as
vet endorse entirely the plans of the So
cialists, yet they have assured the COM
mittees from the League that they see
the need for some radical changes in our
present system; something must be
done to.alleviate the sufferings of the
poor, and check the avarice of the capi-
talistic class.
The press of the city has been forced
to take some notice of this growing
friendship between the two classes of
teachers of morally and Justice; but as
might be expected, the daily papers say
as little about it as possible, and studi-
ously refuse to be honest in the matter.
They will have to get out of that before
long; and in the meantime the Social
lists will continue to do all the good they
can, with the able assistance they now
have.

wHERE~WILL HE GO.

I have received letter from an en-
ployer of labor at Laramie City, in which
he enclosed an extract from the Chicago
Building Budget. The extract, speaking
of the dissatisfaction of workingmen
with their condition, saws there is but
one way out of the difficulty, and that
is, if one does not like his work, wages
or treatment, he must just drop it, and
90 to work at something else. This is a
fair specimen of the intelligence of the
average editor.
An extract from the Laramie gentle
mans letter is sufficient to answer the
Budget. Our friend is one of those en-
pfoyers, who was once a wage worker
himself, and he has not forgotten his
experience while such besides he re-
alizes the rapidity with which the situa-
ton of the wage worker is becoming
worse and worse. He says -.
"'Out ofthe irving pan into the fire.
seems the only remedy offered by the
Budget to the workingmen for where,
in the name of common sense, is the
worker to 60 when dissatisfied? He
cannot change trades or occupations just
as he pleases. Did the editor of the
Budget mean, and cnly forget to say so,
that the mechanic could emigrate to the
moon ? That is about the only sol ution

Hate the System.

Let US hate that system-wages slavery
under capitalists-let US hate it with
every drop of our blood, with every
fibre of our muscles, with every impulse
of our hearts, with every thought of our
brains. And let us hate those who
know what they are doing when they
starve US by inches, mislead public
opinion. forge chains for us and sneer at
our helplessness Christ did the same
when he denounced the Pharisees, and
turned the money-changers out of the
temple. .s..lE-
But let us remember that we shall not
emancipate labor by simply fighting the
bosses! We might in this way, perhaps,
get rid of one set of bosses, but would
burden ourselves with another and
smarter set. Our worst enemy is within
our own hearts-the base, cowardly sub
mission to force and wrong, the lazy in
tellect that will not reflect on the causes
of our misery and the means of our re-
lief. Let us fight this enemy, first and
last Labor Standard, Paterson, N. J.

THE TIME is HERE.

Machinery always saves the lowest
and crudest kind of labor" says the Chi
cago Tribune, Well then only the most
unskilled will be thrust out as tramps !;
they being of less importance than
skilled laborers, the calamity is not mo-
mentous. According to the Tribune
their poverty is due to their inability to
adapt themselves to some other occupa-
ton than the one they were compelled
to abandon. That is, if railroad Ia
borer could only adapt himself to watch.

He must then adapt himself to living

easily learn the law Of adaptation, But

We read great deal in our city papers
about supporting home industries" "
Prominent among the manufacturing in
stitutions of this city, the products of
which we are urged to use in preference
to the makes of like establishments in
the east, is the broom factory. Now, I
do not want to discuss the principle in
this thing, but desire to call attention to
the fact that this same Denver broom
factory sends to Cincinnati to have its
labels printed. If this is supporting
home industries, I have not looked at
the subject in the correct light. Let the
broom-makers practice what they
preach.

THE PEACEMAKER.
A Remarkable Submarine Torpedo
BOat at New York.

New YORK, August 25.-The dream
OF Jules Verne seems to have been re-
allied in q boat constructed by an
American inventor. The World this
morning gives the following account
OF a trial OF the boat yesterday: j..
A submarine torpedo boat, invented
by Prof. J. II. L. Tuck, was yesterday
tested and proved practical success
in the presence OF large party OF gen.
tlemen interested, who were aboard
the steamer Cnance. The torpedo
boat has been christened the Peace
maker. She was constructed at the
yard Of @. II. Delameter * 90, and is
so feet long, with breadth OF beam OF
81 feet and depth of n feet The
bow and stern taper off from amid
ships, aud the forward end OF the yes
eel is surmouuted by dome twelve
inches high, which Is set with glaes and
| lust large enough for the pilot to get
his head into. Admiration 10 the boat
is through q circular scuttle abaft Of
the dome. AT the stern there is q pro-
peller and q rudder OF ordinary fashion,
and two horizontal rudders,with which
the boat may be detected up or down.
The interior is half filed with ma
ohinery and mechanical devices, in
GLIDING powerful Westinghouse en-.
CINE. Comprt ssed air is stored in 8
inch pipes running around the in
terror, and arrangements ara made by
which air is supplied by chemicals. A
gauge registers tne deptn OF the yes
eel beneath the surface. Light is
furnished by an incandescent electric
lamp.
Al Yesterdays experiment Capt.
John G. Holland and Engineer John
II. Kline slipped down into the iron
huh aud fastened the air tight scuttle.
Then the Captains head appeared in
the lookout dome and the iron fish
started down the river. She had moi
gone 100 feet before she slipped hel
nose into the water and gradually slid
out OF sight beneath the ruttled sur
face. The spectators anxiously
watched the spot where she dlsap-
peared for three minutes, when che
