The Alleged Passing of Counterfeit Notes

The Alleged RAISING oi No""eiAei' ~o'e''
Maux Rosdeetcher theAustrian peddler
who was arrested Monday in Christmas
week on complaint of the jeweler Savor-
rietz on the nth, for having passed SEQ
counterfeit banknOte on him, was sent to
the United States commissioner, and BY
him placed in Henrico county jail, was
yesterday before Judge Hughes on u
writ Of habeas corpus. Judge Hughes de-
cided that man charged with an offense
committed outside of his district was not
within his jurisdiction, and could not be
held unless the officers of the court in
whose district the ALLEGED offense was
committed sent legal papers for his re-
ouisition TO that court. The offense
having been committed in Chester, Pa,
and no papers being forthcoming, the
prisoner was set free by Judge Hughes.

The Brook Turnpike Appeal.

The appeal from the report of the
commissioners appointed to investigate
the condition of the Brook turnpike, who
in their report stated that four sections
of it were in condition which could not
authorize the company to collect toll,
was heard before Judge Minor of Hen
rico County Court yesterday.
Messrs Conway X. Sands and G.. W.
Thomas appeared for the commissioners,
and Mr.. George =. Haw for the Turn
pike Company. Mr. John Bacon Cren-
shaw, president of the Turnpike Com
pany, was present.
About forty witnesses, all people living
in the county and doing business over
the pike, testified. One of them said that
his idea of a turnpike as gained from
travelling over this road was six-inch
granite bottom, then three inches OF
granite broken stone hen-egg size, and on
top of that three inches of stone pullet-
egg size.
Another man, a dairyman, said under
oath that he left home three miles from
the city with ten gallons of milk, and the
road was so rough that before reaching
Richmond the milk had churned and
turned 10 butter.
The testimony throughout was anus
ing and often times practical.

THE. REAL DANGER.

Is it not alarming when we see that the number of immigrants for the year ending June 30th was $50, ,O0O, an excess of 60,0o0 over the year preceding? Un- restricted immigration Is proving, more forcibly than ever, a bane to the work CTS of thls country Coke County Chronicle.
 Yes; but ~hy is immigration a banc? The country is large enough to accommodate millions upon mil
 lions more than we have, provided they lead useful lives and produce wealth. We have not such an abun- dance of neCessaries and luxuries that we cannot enjoy more, and the moro producers there are the more each may have of the good things their labor can create, prOrided, we have that ''mOre precise, orderly and harmonious arrangement of the social relations, as socialism is de- fined by that great American au- thority, Webster's Unabridged Die tionary. Our friends the miners arc especially interested in the spread and triumph of socialism, and we would suggest that they discuss the Socialist Platform yeriatim in their meetings, Nothing less than the radical change of our system of orneySdip and distribution will make us free from the dangers which the present system of private ownership and unequal distribution creates out of such a natural impulse as migration. Imagine the Amerl- can People, thoroughly organized as a Cooperative Commonwealth, be- coming alarmed at d few millions of immigrants at the rate of half mil lion or so a year.

IMMORAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL
(COntinued from first pdqe.)

(Cont'nted from first pdge.) crimes, such criminal law must be de- clared null and void on account of its unconstitutionality; for the Constitu- ton, in it's Preamble, proposes to 'estab- fish justice. to insure domestic tran quility.'
 Now let us see how that Illinois law is apt to ''establlsh justice, to insure do- nestle tranquility
 All modern criminal legislation adopt ed the principle of a difference in pun ishment of a perpetrated and attempted criminal act. Why? For two reasons; in order to prevent crimes and to pro- teCt threatened mankind. The law aims to give person who attempted to com init a crime a chance to defeat his criminal thought and to return to hon. esty. That allowance, consisting of a minor punishment, granted to penitent sinner, who bethought himself of his criminal idea and left off, is of course not due to him, but to the person against whom the crime was aimed. This inno- cent person we want to protect against foul play. And we cannot do so except by granting to the "tempted" person an allowance for his refraining from perpe- trating the crime Therefore an at tempted crime must be punished, If at all, by measure lesser than provided for the perpetrated crime Itis the per son threatened by such crime that we owe such protection against ''injury.' Were we to punish the attempt and the perpetration of a crime alike, we would thereby endanger humanity and foster crime. So the tempted person would reason: Ut is all the same whether continue, or discontinue; my punishment will be the same; therefore l shall finish the crime.
 This way, should think, I have stated the principle beyond all doubt, that put | ting on the same grade both the perpe- | tratiOn of and the attempt at a crime. would be highly immoral, foster | ing crime, endangerlng mankind; ln | a word-uncOnstitutiOn
 Now let Us see, what there is about the notorious Illinois law. It is no mat l ter, whether or not that statute law emanated from common law; truly, ii did; but that makes no difference.
 That Illinois law constitutes the fol lowing degrees of criminality:
 l. instigation or conspiracy in the ab- sence of an overt act.
 ?. Accessoryship before the fact ol perpetration by principal.
 i We may see that our principle. eX, | plained above, was recognized by the | Illinois law, inasmuCh as il fixes the pen atty for instigation or conspiracy to not | more than three years penitentiary while the perpetrators may be punished l with death.

ing industry as eXpounded in hls celebrated book. It is proposed to organize Nationalist club to promote those views, just as Lau- renee Groulund organized "Collec- tiyeist clubs to popularize the same ideas as expounded in his " Cooperative Commonwealth, " These forces when united together with the practical agitation and po- litical action of the Socialist Party will undoubtedly greatly influence the constructive movement of So- cialism, and prevent the degradation into anarchy to which mere indi- vidualism and competitive "busi- ness would consign our civiliza- ton, such as it is.

MOVING FORWARD.

The latest move on the chess board of social evolution made by a conservative trades union element indicates that the capitalist side of the game will have to content itself without checkmate for awhile yet. The conservative element has never seemed to grasp the idea that the people must control Tn order that the people may reap the benefits of civilization. But at last Sunday 8 session of the New York Central Labor Union the motion came from the representatives of so conserya- tive q body as the Granite Cutters Union to have the State employ di- rect those engaged upon public works. This blow at individual enterprise did not at all shock the assembled delegates; on the con trary they were rather pleased at the proposition.
 In discussing the matter several delegates enlarged upon the propo- siton and pointed out the benefit that would accrue to the workers fl they, through the State, could em. ploy themselves. The original proposition of the Granite Cutters delegates was one, it is true, which contemplated benefit for thai trade, but the discussion considers bly extended the idea, and a resolu tion in favor of the State employing direct, without the intervention O contractors was passed.
 The law stands in the way yet, fol it provides that when a work shal cost over thousand dollars 1t shal be given out by contract to the low est bidder, etc.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
KNIGHTS OR FEDERALISTS.


 It Is not a source of pleasure to the friends of labor to see the serious squalls and troubles that are rife in the ranks of the Knights of Labor. It would have been far better if the Knights were to-day the largest body of organized labor in the world. It would have been fur better if they were in d position to fulfill the mis- sion the founders of the order in- tended it for. But as it stands at present, and US 1t has been carried on for the past five years, 1t were better for the laboring men that It had died in it's infancy instead of strangulation at its own hands.
 There IS little or no room le it for doubt now that the sun of the great organization has set, and that the union of trades will be the organiza- tion of the working classes. The resolution offered by MT. Lewis to have the K. of l.. and the A. F. ot l.. meet and arrange plan by which all trades and calIings may be united, including common and un skilled labor, is d sensible move, and shows desire on his part to better the condition of his constituents.
 We look forward to the day when every trade will be organized, and ir the body where each trade will pre- serve it's autonomy; when miners will attend to miners affairs, musl' cians to theirs, and so on; but tha all may be joined together, so tha' when it becomes necessary to enjoi1 an oppressor the power of labor may be etfectual. -C0he County ChrOn | ic7p

A NEW INTERNATIONAL,

The efficient Secretary of the So- cial Democratic Federation of Eng land, II. w. Lee, closes an article on the recent Trades Union Con- gress, at which delegates from sev- eral continental nations were pres ont, thus:
 "The great idea which was prominent throughout the debates of the Congress was 1he recorstitution of the "inter- national, and the decision of the Con- gress regarding international action, coupled with the Congress which will be held in Paris next year, proves that its revival is a certainty. This is as 1t should be. Capitalists are international. The world is their country and to make profit everywhere their universal re- lgion and even the English moderate delegates at the Congress were unani- mouslv agreed as tot the haneful influence of merely national and patriotic ideas. But as Citizen Montas, of the Paris Engineers, remarked , the Inter national must be constituted on that federal basis which leaves the Social. Democrats in each nation free to take the coura2 hest suited to the country. An International based on that principle, with strong union and discipline amongst the socialist parties of all nations on mat ters of principle, will ensure the enamel patton of the workers from the yoke of capitalism. and will not be susceptible to that authoritative, domineering inhu- ence which weakened and eventually destroyed the old International.
 The idea of an international or ganization or series of federated or ganizations is favorite theme of European Socialists, and as there are prospects of two international congresses next year, one in Paris and one in Switzerland, it will no | doubt be a subject that will arouse

which sway the fathers of families and induce them to seek the comforts and rehnemcnts of life for themselves and their offspring, will not obtain with these little slaves.
 They will be reared to labor; their ambitions will he directed toward getting q mere living during their life, and they will be deceived into believing that this only is necessary in view of the promise of an Utopia after they are dead.
 The competition of such class of physical and mental slaves, 1t strikes us, is far more to be feared than that of Mongols and Huns. Are the American people prepared to let this thing go on and flourish under their very noses?
 France and Italy have already taken the alarm, and have intorposed the power of the State, such as it Is, to prevent the fearful catastrophe it threatens. The people of the United States, feeling secure in their boastcd liberty, have permitted too much liberty to the organized cnc- mics of the State. They relied upon the influence of the public schools, and To, they find the public schools attacked and, wherever possible, suppIantcd. They relied upon free competition, and b, they find them selves competing with organized slavcrs- all under the protection of the "State' they have roarcd-uo, not rcarcd-permjttcd, rather, to de- vclOp under false system.
 Such fearful mcnaccs to real free dom and civilization wonld be i'm possible under the socialist system ol political and social economy. One has mcre Y to grasp the simple prop sltlons of Socialism to be convinced of this. Socialists comprehend the danger lurking in the "charlties and "religion8 ' of the exploiting class: they do not undcryalue tn, power weI1ed by the enemies o freedom; therefore they are con strained to come before the peopl again and again, insisting upon be ing heard, and knowing full wei that where they fail they are rein forced by the very conditions whicI they antagonize so consistently.
 It is to the American people tha
 the Socialist Party makes it's ar
 peals and sounds its warnings in tn
 United States, and relying upon tn intelligence of the people when ono
 their attention is aroused they pro pose to earn the good will and conf
 dcnce of d nation which has in ) the promise of being the civilizor ( the world.

THE SLAVE TRADE.


 .'The New York State Factory u- spect0r recently received a Communlca- | tion from the State Inspector of Fac l tories in Ohio stating that the Nickel | Plate Glass Company at fost0rIa, Ohio, | and DalHell, Leighton, Gilmore X Co.,, | at Finday, Ohio, had received large numbers of boys as apprentices, bound l out for d year, from St, Johns Home 1 a Roman Catholic orphan asylum in Brooklyn. The matter was referred to Assistant Inspector Francy, of New York. who reported that all of the boys were over l2 years of age, and that many of them are delicate and dwarted in appearance Mother dc thantal, who has charge of the home, admitted yes terday that the children had been sent to the factories in Ohio She said that it was good move if il proved success full, and that she had acted with the knowledge and consent of Bishop Loughlin. The boys, she said, were ali of average development and physique and healthy, and if they could learn a useful trade away from the temptations of large cities it would be the making of many of them. At the factories in Ohio the children are in charge of sisters.
 The above suggestive item ap- peared in the columns of a New York daily paper, and the public may form an opinion of the practice of bartering human flesh under the guise of "sweet charity and Gre ligion.' These boys will be used to degrade and lmpoverlsh the fathers of other boys, who in turn are thus liable to become the charges of "sisters." Such a surrender of State functions to a hierarchy IS most reprehensible, and the eco- homie mismanagement 1t involves IS positive damage to the nation.
 We call the especial attention of our Itrades unions to this matter. These "charitable " institutions do not hesitate at .invoking State aid in Carrying out their proseI Iytlng schemes, and thus increasing their power in the nat ion politics. Grad ually, and not at all too slowly, are we permitting the growth of an in- ternal cancer which must eventually sap the life blood and the energy of tho people if not arrested, aye, and destroyed root and branch.
 We have seen the success in va rious places within our territory of the Romish Church in destroying the efficacy of our public schools, thus interfering with prerogatiye of the State, which Is vitally inter ested in the proper education of the children, who are to become its citl- izens, its component parts. Nor has the church the sanction of all its members in this matter; for there are many enlightened men who have been brought up as members of the church who sense the danger to the State.
 But here is a case where private institution directly attacks the i'm mediate interests of the working people. It stands to reason that the employers of these children furnished by the "charitable concern oi which Madame Chantal Is the head do not " teach them d trade fol charitys sake. They employ then because they hope to make more profit out of them than they could by employing men. The childrel are virtual chattel slaves, bound out to do the bidding of thei owners for number of years. I'm
