METHODS.

A small army Of well disciplined
men is worth ten times the number
in an undisciplined mob. We want
and must have discipline. This Is
not at all hard to obtain, it is slml1g
abiding by the Constitution, and
Principles of the Party. The men
Of most service are those who are
most systematic in their work aud
strictest in their adherence to the
rules and constitutional disci pine,
How often it is the case that mis-
guided zeal, and imprudent actions
ruin the prospects of good future
work, and destroy the good results
honest labors.
There should be no grum bling
at any seeming sharp corner, I'M
pleasant at the time it may be, bat
IN the end its beneficial effects can
be seen very clearly. See how this
works in the keeping of strict records
In Sections, true cash account

properly kept books, regular col
lection at fixed periods of dues.
Would this not destroy much Of the
burden now falling upon the Section
officers entailed by dues owing from
three months to one year. Some
will object to any strict lines of
action in this or any other matters.
Looseness breeds dependence, de-
pendence creates bossism, and boss
ism is the fruitful mother of bosses.
Socialism can never do with bosses.
There socialists should act strictly
upon the lines of discipline and rig
orously enforce this discipline upon
all laggards.

THE RED FLAG DER Us FLYING.
AN GEALBAAN GARAIDF

We have no tyrcnt ruler
To drive us on our way,
No leader or befooer
To blind us or betray.
But each with each is vying,
In battle fierce against the wrong;
And to the fray we march along,
The Red Flag DER us flying.
We let no sea divide us,
No frontier make foe
All people stand beside us,
One flag alone we know.
For all mems freedom trying,
For liberty in every land;
In arms arrayed for fight we stand,
The Red Flag DER us flying.
Who comes, with heart high beating,
To struggle for his own,
To fight without retreating
Till Wrong be overthrown?
Who comes, the foe defying,
With us 20 work in word and deed
Until shall float DER all men freed,
The Red Flag DER us flying?

a socialist can never be anything
but a socialist. He occupies dis
tlnct and isolated position. His
doctrines condemn the whole exist
ing capitalistic system as being
wrong; he is the declared enemy Of
the profit and wage system, and nat
urally must be in favor of an oppo-
site system. He can accept no com
promise, no bribery should silence
him, no gold corrupt him. He is
not a politician SO much as he is a
man, he is nationalist because he
is humanitarian. The visible cor
ruption of politics, and the stencil
arising from the invisible rotten
ness Of governments are poison to
him, he cannot for a moment ally
himself to any party or organization
or give adherence to any principle
which does not aim at absolute lib
erty of the human race. The last
Presidential election revealed the
true condition of affairs, money ran
like water, votes were openl y sold by
auction, the sacred right of fran
chise, the sanctity of the ballot (?)
was exhibited in truly holy fashion.
Our truly patriotic statesmen, and
still more honest and noble with Il
capital H and capital NJ city ad-
ministration, revealed all the tactics
of modern politics in their frantic
efforts to save the country. The
country is saved. True; saved from
one side to the other. How long
shall these things be? Comrades,
yon must take the open stand, the
open position, renounclng each and
every bond but that of the one para
mount object, Socialism. How can
this be done? BY
ADVERTISEMENTS.
There are numbers OF people who
would willingly defence socialism,
willingly make a plea on its behalf.
But this should not be. We have
nothing to defend, nothing to plead
for. Socialism is either true or
false, if true, then it will live; if
false, the sooner it dies the better,
But the simple fact Of its being
truth is nothing; truth is simply alb
stract; action is necessary. You
must take this truth and put it be-
fore men; put it in active operation;
demonstrate it; force men by facts,
by logic, by stubborn persistence to
inquire into its doctrines.
You cannot afford to wait until
men attack your position. You
must attack them, carry the war
into the enemies camp.
This can be done by persistent
agitation, by increasing the circula-
ton of the journals of the Party, by
close attention to the details of Party
interests and by education, but of
this | will speak next week.

Peculiar Dutch Customs.

Many peculiar customs still prevail
in Holland which amuse the tourist,
but which are quite sensible after all.
In many Dutch towns bulletins are af-
fixed to the doors of houses in which
persons are sick in order that their
friends may be apprised of the state of
their health without knocking or ring
ing, and in Harlem the birth of child
is announced by means OF small pla-
card adorned with red silk and lace.
So the traveller on the lookout for the
peculiar may see a notice on the door
as he passes by that "Mr. Van Diepen-
beck is better to-day; pulse. 95; tenn
perature, normal" or, '.Mrs. Van
Wellbuilt was delivered of son this
morning; weight. ten and one-half
pounds; notice of christening here
after" A painted Turks head is the
customary sign of druggists shops,
while large crown decorated with
gliding. suspended beneath the Dutch
flag, indicate that fresh herring have
arrived in the shops thus adorned.
Foot-warmers are universally en-
ployed by the female members of the
community, and are seen in great
numbers in the churches. recalling the

FOUR OLD POETS.
The Difficulties Under which They Accom-
plishcd Their Life Work.

The Difficulties Under which They Accom-
p'ishcd Their Life Work.
Homer lived about thousand years
before the Christian era: his Iliad was
the first great poem written. He lived
nearer the time of the Greek war than
any other author, and it it is right to
suppose he knew what he was talking
about. Like Milton, this author was
blind, and used to stand on the street
and recite his poems, the fragments of
which have been gathered up and
handed down to US. Homer was the
model for all the poets who followed
him.
Virgil follows Homer, as to time.
He had liberal education and every
advantage which could promote liter
airy culture; in this he had better
chance than Homer. His style is more
beautiful and perfect than Homer's,
though he obtained many OF his ideas
from him. 1t is said Virgil and Milton
were both plagiarists, but that it was
as honest for these authors to copy the
old writer as it is for sculptor to
copy nature.
Dante was follower and admirer
of both Homer and Virgil. He
studied Virgil closely and has some
thing of his style. His Inferno
is very much like Virgil's descrip-
ton of Hades in Book Six of the
Eneid; his style is more thrilling and
real, however. The life of this man
was very sad; he spent nineteen years
in Punishment from the city of his
birth; then his own words became true
of himself:
Thou shalt have proof,
How savoreth of salt the bread Of Others
And how hard road
The going down and up another's stairs"
Milton was a follower of all these
men. and it is said he was the most
classic of English writer's; he was also
a Christian poet.
The lives of all these authors were
much alike, in that each had some
great trouble; it is supposed that
Homer composed his Iliad and his
Odyssey from the memories of his
childhood, after be became blind. Dan
tie composed his Divine Comedy while
wandering in exile; his admirers called
it divine, but he called it a comedy,
because it had a happy ending. Virgil
wrote during political troubles. and
while enduring a long illness; Milton
wrote his Paradise Lost after he be-
came blind.
Therefore, the best part Of the life
work of each was accomplished under
difficulties. Treasure 7roCe.
