pleading with congress to protect them,
they profess profound interest in their
workmen, to whom, it might be sup

hypocrisy. In the PCS works given in
one Of the census tables, there are em

summers at the seaside, while their work
men remain at Saginaw Bay fighting mos
quitos and the ague.

MACHINES AND MEN,

The latest Development Of me-
chanicaI improvement that promises
to displace the labor of thousands of
men is the electric motor which is
about to be introduced in the dri\ ing
of street cars. 1t is reported that
the principal street car line in st.
Louis will be operated by electricity,
and last week New York street car
company made application to the
Board Of Aldermen for permission to
use the new power upon It's road.
There seems to be no doubt us to its
practlcablltv rs far rs its motive
power is concerned, for one such
car has been running daily for the
last four months in New York. to
the entire satisfaction of-jtS 0WRerS.
There is some dissatisfaction, also.
in regard to it and this comes from
about 1000 employees of street ear
companies who see in the introduc-
ton of the new power Il sure pros
pect of enforced likeness. Each car
may still have to be manned by two
men rs before, but the large force of
stablemen, horseshoers, etc, will
be dispensed with. Hence the oppo-
sltlon of these people, however vain
it may be.
The convenience and cleanliness
OF the new motor are considerations
that will have weight with the public
no matter what the fate of thousands
of poor wage-slayes may be in conse-
quence, The street car companies
will probably arrogate to themselves
the credit of more successfully cater
ing to the public; but the public
may rest assured that the companies
are only considering their own in
terests, and if they can at the same
time save expense and improve their
conveyances, the public convenience

printed. BIT we have seen the Ma
tional Executive Committee, and
they inform us that they are looking
for a home for the WoRkMEN's AD-
yocATE and its sister journal, her
SOzialiSi, in New York. The new
Party printing Office is soon to be cs-
tablished, and a national edition Of
the WoRkMEN's ADVOCATE will then
be issued from the new headquarters,
but we in New Haven will still have
the old WoRkMEN's ADVOCATE, pub
lished in the Getty of Elms' from
the same Office AZ usual.
This was good news, and even the
scomforts of the blizzard left only
the regret that we could not report
1t sooner.

CUNNING EGO.

There's paper published in Bos-
ton that for sklllful manipulation of
words, constituencies misrepresenta-
ton, and the aggressive self-assertion
of its editor, is remarkable. Ltberty
is its title, and the following is II
specimen of its special ability:
State Socialism is such Jumping
system, knowing nothing whatever of
discrimination, that its advocates are in
capable of understanding that man may
admire a public teacher and desire to
spread his teachings without swallowing
him whole-defects, weaknesses. incon-
sistencies, Shortcomings, and all. Thus
it is that some of them, having lately
| discovered passage or two in Proud
hons writings that smack of State Social
ism, have expressed wonder that should
class myself as one of his disciples. The
explanation of their bewilderment is to
be found in their mistaken supposition
that "What is Property ?" is the Bible of
| Anarchisn Just as Marks Capital is
the Bible of State Socialism. Anarchists
have no Bible and blindly worship no
leader. But if these critics really think
rs they pretend to, that Proudhon was a
State Socialist, have an offer to make
| them. Ii they will print in their papers
| every thing that they can find in Proud.
hons works favoring State Socialism,
| will furnish them some quotations from
his works antagonizing it, SO that they
may print them simultaneously, and
then their readers will Judge for them
selves the beliefs of +. j. Proudhon. Do
the "Workmen's Advocate of New
Haven and the Labor Enquirer" of
Chicago dare to accept this challenger
We can speak for the WoRkMEN'o
ADVOCATE, and frankly confess that
we dare not accept such Il challenge.
Life is too short to be wasted in
wandering through the ma2es of the
self-confessed quibbler's labyrinth of
contradictions. Marks MISERY of
Philosophy" sufficiently settled
Proudhon's PHILOSOPHY of Misery
If our respected contributor,
"Zeno," who troubled himself to
criticize the editor of liberty, is in
clined to spend his declining years
| in the hopeless effort of establishing
