telligent manner. There are number
Of socialistcally inclined delegates who
remain and keep up the old body. The
row served to bring on a discussion of
our principles, and now it is hard to find
a delegate of intelligence even among
those whe opposed lis but will say
son, yes, we believe in your prinCi-
pies. but we don't believe it Is right for
you to come as delegates from a politi-
cal body"
This, in the face of the fact that the
entire Central Labor Union endorsed
McNeilIs nomination for Mayor, and the
men who opposed ii were principally
Socialists, who did so knowing that the
time was not yet ripe for such a move.
The whole business was engineered
by delegates from organizations who
pride themselves on being conservative.
One of these same conservative Organi-
cations is, as the phrase goes, " getting it
in the neck from their employers, who
when they saw that the men were afraid
to be Classed in the same category with
"them Socialists Immediately came to
the conclusion that they were not stiff
in the spinal column, and gave it to them
on the quiet in the shape of a reduction
of wages Our principles are spreading
among all these different organizations,
and we have been helped a great deal
lately by Edward Bellamy's book,
Looking Backward" The men in the
trades are beginning to realize that
"S2, - a day" and Eight hours is not
everything, when only two out of three
can get that. Speaking of Looking
Backward, Mrs. Merritield uses that as
textbook, reading Minister Burton $
sermon, and commenting on it. As soon
as the warm weather ceases we propose
to commence vigorous agitation, and
will Undoubtedly reach out among those
who have been opposed to us, and now
that they have begun to consider the
grand truths of Socialism, will undoubt-
edly get large number to join u.s. For
| believe that they are not wilfulIy op-
posed to us, but simply ignorant of what
we propose, or have never had our prin-
cipcs satisfactorily explained, and being
honest, well-meaning men. although led
away by the popular clamor against
socialism. DIXISTI.

DIVORCE AND MARRIAGE.
Economic Reasons for B0tll-The True
Marriage.

One has but to read the daily re.
ports In our city and other city
papers to see how rapidly the d.
vorco census is increasing. Many
persons mourn over this lamentable
fact; but rs matters now stand there
is every possibility that they will in
crease in four-foId ratio within the
next ten years instead of decreasing.
There are many reasons for this;
the most important one is the grow
ing individuality of womanhood.
Women are learning the lesson of
self-defense and self-reIiancc very
fast, and everything in society is
tending in this direction. Men to-
day are unable to support a wife as
formerly; often the entire support
of the family falling upon the wife,
who can procure work more easily
than men in majority of instances,
though at poor pay, and for a
woman to support her husband and
then, as Hettie Howden says, take
his sass" is not at all to the feelings
Of the present generation. Separa-
ton follows in every case where
there was no love to begin with.
When women are self-supporting
there will be less divorce because
there will be less marriages; and
though we suffer through the ex-
treme conditions which are upon
society to-day, they herald a
brighter morning to the race. When
people marry properly, for true love
only, based upon respect and all
noble qualities, we shall have bright
and happy children from their
unions. These children will be
lovely because born in love, and
they will carry to society healthy,
harmonious lives, to bless the whole
world. There will be no divorce
then. You cannot divorce souls
who love one another. Chicago Er-
