One more labor paper is added
to the long list of those who have
succumbed to the inevitable. The
Denver Labor EnQutrer, we are
sorry to report, has suspended. Thus
the West has lost Lpbor's most fear

at large a valuable contemporary.
The Paterson Lab0r .>tundard

The capitalist papers are making
q grand effort to excite the people on
the free trade and tariff humbug.
Both the capitalist parties will appeal
to the dear people to sustain them,
and the probability is that the peo-
pie will fight over the tariff, while
the politicians take proper precau-
tons to capture the offices.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
ALL GUILTY..


1t is stated that there are IS, 900
women in London who make heir
living with the needle who earn no
more than 81 50 week. Are the
men who purchase the product of
this under-paid labor guiltless; If
we buy garments made by girls
whose wages will not support life,
and then ask why the social evil is
so prevalent, should we not take to
ourselves the answer of Nathan to
David? The man who buys the
goods shares the guilt of the en-
ployer who robs the laborer. Cana-
titan L0bor Ret0rmer.

CAUTION As TO IRELAND.

A polite, discreet, cautious course,
rather than any open opposition to
the Pope's decree, is evidently going
to characterize the conduct Of all the
leading Catholic ecclesiastics. Arch
bishop Walsh writes in the FREE
mans J0,rnal in this way:
"The reScript decides question of
morals, not of politics. If doubts and
controversies arise concerning It's mean
ing the Irish bishops or the vatican will
explain it. The Irish people may be as
sured that neither the National move
ment nor the National League shall be
in the least injuriously affected
That last sentence indicates very
plainly that the Pope, also, has
learned to appreciate the value of
caution and discretion, since his too
ready compliance with Lord Sails
bury's political scheming has become
more and more apparent. --IiarI0rd

AN AMERICAN SOCIALIST.

j. Edward Hall, the publication OF
whose able lecture on The Place Of In
dividualism in the SOciallstic y stem Is
begun in this issue of the WORkMEN'S
ADVOCATE, is one of the foremost Amer
lean Socialists. Educated as such in the
schools of Organized Labor, he has al
ready shown himself to be luminous
and logical thinker, whose brain sheds
light upon all the questions that it
considers. Mr. Hall was the candidate
of the Progressive Labor Party Of New
\ York for secretary of state in the can
vass of 1881 He is a machinist by trade
and has for some time been the national
secretary Of the National District Of
Machinery Constructors, X. of l., He is
an American Of American, by family,
birth and associations.
Mr.. Hall is descendant on his fathers
side of one of the old colonial families
that made the early settlements Of Long
lHldIlu. llt was JUN at N'ltll NoNNl ~ u
gust %, 1851. His mother was of Eng
lish birth He attended the village
school and received the ordinary school
education OF the period. At seventeen
he started to prepare himself for the
first obtained employment in Il railroad
repair shop. He also worked on the road
as a fireman for some time. He gave up
the idea of becoming a locomotive engi-
neer on account Of defective eyesight.
From 1872 to 1885 Mr.. Hall worked at
his trade, with the exception Of six
months service at sea on Pacific mail
steamship on a voyage from San Fran
cisco to New York. He has couuived
to see Il great deal of this hemisphere,
and proiited, too, by his seeing. In 1881
he was attacked by severe sickness and
has never fully recovered.
He became an active worker in labor
organizations in 1874, and with the eX.
ception of one year, has held some Off
cial position, He was nominated fol
assemblyman in 1873 and 1879 as a Labor
candidate Mr.. Hall acted as secretary
of the great mass meeting held in Temp
kns Square in July, 1871, to express
Labor's sympathy with the railroad
strikers of that summer He was one OF
the signers of remarkably vigorous
letter sent to President Hayes, urging OF
behalf of Labor the necessity of EN-
lghtened legislation for the prevention
of strikes and riots, rather than the gov
ernment's aiding capitalists by shooting
starving workingmen to death. Mr.
Hall was active in forming the New
York Central Labor Union, was one o
its first delegates, and during the white
and spring of 1889 and 1888 served it a
recording secretary. The brilliant lee
ture we print was delivered before tn,
New York Labor Lyceum, which i
under the direction of the American Sec
ton of the Sorialistc Labor Party.
Mr. Hall is thoroughly III accord will
the fundamental idea of American lbert.
as illustrated in the spirit embodied b.
the Declaration of Independence of JUL
4. He. and he claims that when one
the energies of the American people bt
come diverted from the mere pursuit q
gain, that there is no nation or race tina
will accept and practice Socialism wit
a, much readiness or success.

in our national palaver
The democratic idea Of the rule Of
the majority is occasionally assaulted
and even condemned by individual
lists as being II tyranny worse than
that of monarchy. And yet,
wherever the interests Of a number
are concerned, and u question arises
AS to the ACCESSIBILITY of a certain nc
ton, the majority rurB--not neCcs-
sarlly the majority OF people, for the
units Of power may be shares, a8 in
stock companies; and while thcorctl-
cally the consensus Of the people
rules in this republic, practically and
really the units of power are not the
people, but dollars, But this shap-
ing of the power that rules is merely
incidental to the prevailing system
Of capitalism, where every act of
man is measured by the amount of
persona gain resulting. And this
idea has been so thoroughly en-
grated on the minds of the people
that they carry it into every avenue
of activity and beloul the very at
mosphere Of our public departments
with the commcrcialism of the times.
Our political parties are not combl-
nations formed temporarily for the
attainment of certain ends, but per
mancnt organizations for the control
of the public patronage, made possible
by the very form Of the political con-
struction Of our government. Albert

says:

On the 7th of last June. says the Seat
tie Times, there were some transactions
at Port Townsend that will not soon be
forgotten. On that day delegation OF
the Coast SeameD's union at that city
sIted the ship Perkins lying in port,
aud after hasty consultation ind dueed
number OF non-uLion sailors 20 quit the
ship. 1t is alleged that the sailors de-
serted the vessel and upon going ashore
the entire delegation indulged in q
parade about the city. The authorities
there arrested the following men on the
charge of riot: Ed. Aiseu, Harry Simp-
SOD. VIM. Totterman, VIM. Darrin, John
Dothran, Frank Kaff, Thomas Stuart
and G. Fitzgerald. The men were
given an immediate hearing before JUS
tice j. FL. Van Bokellen and were bound
over to the October term OF the district
court. The October term has come and
gone without any disposition of the
case. Indeed there was no term OF
court. and the point to be decided In

| will stand for the November term. The
petitioners are represented by Hon.
James Hamilton Lewis, the attorney for
the Union, while the states interest will
be looked after by Hon. j. ]. Calhoun

The fire in Bartlett's store Sua~
day morning resulted in a damage o.
a hundred dollars or more, mostly
by water applied in extinguishinS the
fire. The fire company was Oh hand
in az incredibly short space of time
after the alarm sounded, and by its
prompt action averied what would
otherwise have proved a serious con-
hagratioh. The fire originated in a
room in which paints and varnishes
were stored. An employee. Mr.
Wilkes, went into the room with a
candle. and an explosion occurred
just as he stopped to turn the faucet
of the varDish barrel. 1t is sup
posed that gas from the varnish had
accumulated in the room. The pro
lrietors were net aware that this
varnish. a cheap and highly infiam-
mable kind, was stored in that room.
The fire was luckily confined to the
room, and as already indicated the
ready and energetic action of the fire
company checked it, although there
was much highly combustible mate
