San FrancIsco's Parade.

From Private sources THE ENQUIRER
has learned some of the details of the
labor parade, which took place In San
Francisco on the eleventh instant.
There were about 1000 in the line of
march. The Coast Seamen's union
turned out In unifo m and escorted a
wagon bearing full-rigged brig. The
parade was followed by speaking and
grand entertainment at Wo0dward's
gardens, over 5000 persons being on the
grounds.
The whole affair was the grsndest
thing of the kind ever witnessed in San
Francisco, and it was a high feather in
the cap of the Trades Federation.

False Statements

Made week ago to-dav in this paper.
by the New England Shoe company, or
more truthfully speaking, the shoe store
from Omaha, backed by Chicago auc.
tion house.
This concern makes the statement aRd
false insinuation that the Buffalo is
hum 5ugging the people with false
claims and that the Buffalo did not dare
take up the offer made by the New En-
gland Shoe company. The Bl6Alo Shoe
company can ably prove all this to be
the blacklist kind Of falsehood, and those
who read the dailies indOrse this fact :
The BuffA.o did copy their article wor d
for word and planted 81 900 in the C)lo-
RADIO National banS, and sent the other
party copy of The paper, and urged the
New England Shoe complny to come
forward and keep their word, which
they ,wardly b cked out of, knowing
they had bitten off their own nose to
spite an honest concern. These are facts
that can and will beproven.
The public can form its opinion of
concern that resorts to such dirty, low
trickery and falsehood.
The Buffalo Shoe Company has been
here over three years. and the public
we'll knows what kind of goods they
handle, and whether truthful advertisers

From a Clergyman.

"A hundred years ago We started out
with these two principles, viz.-the po'
litlcal one of general equality, universal
suffrage and the commercial one, indi-
yldual compe ltlon. These two princi-
pies, it was supposed, would work hand
IN hand. They have not. One or the
other had to be modified. Which one
YOU all know. The political principle
has been silently but surely modified.
While in theory this country continues
to be purely republican form of gov
eminent, in reality it is not. The peo.
pie are looslng power. To-day each cit
zen votes for the candidate he chooses
from president to lowast county officer,
but as to the candidates he has little
choice. The candidates are put forward

INSTRUMENTATION.

Co lmlners throughout the country
are warnod to pay no attention to adver
tisements and agents looking for men
to 60 to Marshall These ADVERTISE
ments and agents are trying to get men
under misrepresentation. The company
claims that there is no trouble with
their old men. but that everything is
harm )nious. Ten men were brought up
from Starkville, by Dave Jones, the scab
boss, on Monday, upon the understand
ing that there WAS no trouble. When
the men arrived at the mine they found
the Pinkerton thugs on guard. Four of
the ten held a conference with the
strikers, and decided that to 90 to work,
under the circumstances, would be to
blackleg, and they left the camp. The
remaining six (Mexicans) were over
awed by the guards" and at last reports
constituted the entire working force of
the Marshall Coal company.
The ENQUIRER gets its information
straight upon this question, and is as.
sured of its accuracy.

JUSTICE TO IRELAND.
An Appeal to the People of England,
Scotland and Wales.

Scotland and Wales.
The following document, in circular
form, has been issued by the Socialist
Union, of London. 1t strikes the key
note on the Irish question::
After more than seven centuries Of
government by brute free and of land
lord robber-, pretense of desire to do
right by the people of Ireland is being
made by the middle and upper classes
parliament, which still dominates the
people of England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales. Let us see how it is pro-
posed to do iG by wings, conservatives,
liberals. and sham radicals, alike. Do
they offer the people of Ireland the free
and unrestricted right of self-govern-
ment? Do they offer restitution to
them of the land of which they have
deprived them, or of the millions of
rent of which they haye robbed them
Nothing ofthe sort. They only propose
to change one form of slavery for an
other-instead of payingrent to land
lords the pc pie of Ireland are to be
made to pay interest to bond-holders,
and, as usual, you the people of Great
Britain are to find the force, the money
and the men to compel your Irish
brothers to keep class in luxury and
idleness.
These classes who rob and oppress
both them and you, are sparlng no
efforts to arouse you against the Irish
people. They are appealing to race
hatred. to religious bigotry. They and
the corrupt press, which is their ready
instrument, would set you at each others
throats, not in your interest butin theirs,
VINO were they that droye the Irish
IN misery and starvation from their own
island to compete with you workers of
Great Britain and keep down your
wages2 Why, the Irish landlords. Who
took advantage of their need and yours
to grind huge profits out Of your labor ?
Why, the British capitalists.
Fellow. workers We ask you to turn
de # ear to all indictments to enmity
against your Irish brothers. Their
cause is yours-Your cause also theirs.
And those who oppress you both know
it, and fear nothing 81 much as to see
you united.
Let the peoples Of England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales then Join hands.
Let the now disunited English, Irish,
Scotch and Welsh workers stand shoul-
der to shoulder, let them rally to each
others side, for the struggle of the cen
turies' robbed peoples is near at hand.
In unity only is there hope of victory.
By unitv alone can true free dom be at
tanned.
Let, then, the workers of the four
countries stretch out their hands to
each other, and by their united strength
overthrow the whole system under
which they have been plundered in the
past, and will continue to be plundered
in the future unless it is changed. But
it will not be changed by mere parlia-
mentarY reform, not as long as the
workers send landlords and capitalists,
bankers and bond holders, to parlia-
ment. 1t is only DY Social Revolution
that shall place under the direct control
of the people themselves, the land, the
capital and all the means of production,
distribution, aud exchange, that justice
shall be obtained for all.
For this end let the workers of all the
countries unite.
