THAT IMPORTED PREACHER.

Trinity church will have to pay a thousand dollars for its imported rector, the Rev. E, Walpole Warren. Judge Wallace has decided that the bargain made with the preacher with the aliter- ative name is illegal under the United States law forbidding the importation of labor under contract, and hence Mr. Warren should have been sent back, As this was not done, Trinity is subject to the penalty ill such cases made and provided.
 The case has excited considerable in- terest, as test of the scope of the law, which was enacted to prevent a species of slavery which had sprung up by cor porations importing foreigners who were bound to labor for the importer so many years at so much per week or month. The pauper labor thus intro duced killed the demand for better paid service, and the laborers already in the country were in danger of starving through inability to find employment. The operators in mines, and labor en- ployed in large bodies, were the chief sufferers.
 It may be little humiliating to the stylish English rector to be chased by law with the dirty Hungarlans and Italians who manipulate the spade and pickaxe in our streets and on railways, or push coal carts under the ground but he should remember that he has fur nished the one chance for theological speculation, at so much per speculate, to be lifted from the plane of swindling and given an equal dignity with honest labor. Ministers everywhere ought to be thankful for this, for in many minds the difference between their occupation

and that of the confidence operator or fortune-,eller has not heretofore been clearly apparent They will now com mand the respect due to all laborious, if useless, callings.
 We cannot, however, share the sur prise of the press that a minister of the gospel should have been subject to the law. A minister of the gospel is a pro fessionaI man, like lawyers, singers, artists, and so forth. He breaches so many times, prays so many times, and does so much parochial work for so much pay. No pay, no preach, Mar ryings and funeral sermons extra The Rev, k. Walpole Warren would never have trod American soil if he had not obtained a fat situation. The ministers of the present era are not saving souls at their own expense. Let Trinity church, therefore, take some of the money it gets from the leases of land to keepers of grog-shops and houses of prostitution and pay Mir. Warren's tine,-TImh Seeker,

GERMANY.

Puttkamer and his colleagues of the German Police continue more actively than ever to persecute our Socialist comrades all over the coun- try. From the beginning of the present month hundreds of Socialist homes have been searched by the hiring Mahlows and the Naporras who adorn by their presence the blessed fatherland. Last Friday a week Berlin comrade was searched, apparently in consequence of de- nunclation, and 5000 copies of a pamphlet, ready for distribution, were found in his possession. At the same time, at the address of another Berlin Socialist, 5000 copies of the same revolutionary pamphlet were seized. These two comrades were arrested, and besides these four other friends who were concerned in the same propaganda work. At Hamburg and at Dresden several So- clalists have been arrested because they had been distributing copies of -'ha oavin,t! aaek.rnt At Elberfeld Comrade Grimpe has met with the same fate. It IS impossible to relate week after week the innumerable prosecutions and imprisonments un- dergone by our German comrades; everybody knows that Germany is more despotically ruled than any other country in Europe, and it will be 80 long as our friends, who cer- talnly deserve high praise for the patient and resigned manner in which they suffer, do not become somewhat more energetic in their opposition to all these Puttkamer brutalltles.
 The German Socialists have pre- scented the family of the deputy Has enclever, who has become incurably insane, with a sum of twelve thous- and marks, acknowledging thereby the services rendered by the unfOr- tunate man to the cause of socialism in Germany. London COn,nonweal.

BELGIUM,
The Socialist Party Carrying Out
 Progressive Ideas.


 The Socialist Workmen's Party have decided to carry on an ener- getic propaganda among the Belgian peasants and agricultural Iaborers.
 The Socialist cooperative move ment is making great progress in Belgium. The " Vooruit" bakery at Ghent is to be enlarged; the So- cialists at Jolimont have now CO., operative pharmacy besides thelr bakery; at Antwerp our comrades have the "Werker" Cafe and Res taurant, the "Vrije Bakkcrs" " bak- cry, a pharmaceutical department, a cigar and boot and shoe manufac- tory. A new cooperative society, the |" Werkman," has just been opened by the Socialists at Lede- berg.

Unemployed and Starving Workers
 The Police Remedy.

Work has been so scarce at Beia that soup kitchens and similar relief have been provided for the starving agricultural laborers, wine dressers, etc., in order to prevent bread riots.
 Throughout the province of An dalusia the distress among the peas ants Is extreme. The Municipal Council at Quevada have petitioned for powers to grant relief to the men. From Seville the police have been ordered to Eciia, where disturbances are feared. At Los Arcos 5000 workmen are said to be unemployed. Similar reports come from Lola, Sanlucar, Grazalema and Jean.

ture and mining. as well as manufact- ures and commerce.. Now, in all of these the profit, proportionately to the capital, Is always very small, and where 1t IS divided among many, according to their daily wages, the sum for each be- comes so insignificant that there is sure to be general disappointment, especially as losses, always liable to occur, must likewise be distributed in a reduction of wages. Therefore propositions winch have been made by manufacturers in this country to set aside for their work men a share of the profits, provided that they would also submit to division of losses, have usually been received with coldneSs, the workmen correctly figur- ing out that they would make little or nothing by giving up a certainty for an uncertainty.
 In the mere selling of articles pro- duCed there is, of course no such diff culty. A cooperative society by its fees accunulates capital to start store, of which 1t furnishes the customers, and as the trade increases, the capital is multi piled accordingly. The business is con duCted on a cash basis, and its risk is therefore Smal whatever iS bought be- ing sold at some profit, no matter how small. In this country even this form of cooperation has not been successful, for such trade Is to great extent carried on by private concerns on the cash prin- ciple, and the margin of profit IS reduced by competition to C minimum lchiie tue iorger capital of He proprictorS eHabltS fID4tl f., htft oh cietieS, rhich gaiaed thejr impulse in Eng- land from the opposite custom of iong credits and dhe high prices ia consequence Mereof.
 The Congress concluded its long discussion of the subject of cooper ative production by passing a reso- lution which merely stated prin- ciple, obviously sound the principle that in such cooperation there must be "an alliance on an equitable cohdition of profits and risks between the worker the capitalist and the consumer" But an exact and practical scheme for satis- flying these imperative conditions was not developed. One of the speakers de- clared that such an alliance, acceptable To all parties, would bring about the ex- tinction of socialism; and so it would, if it could be brought about. But when it is established, instead of being extinct, socialism will have rriumpiied, for it can only be done by setting up socialism as the organization of society.
 Well, if the extinction of social ism" is practically socialism itself, Socialists will welcome the good work. But the Saln'S final lroposi- tion is right, and that socialism will have to accomplish the emancipation of the wage workers and bring civ ilization up to high level goes with out saying among those who have considered the matter carefully, and whose immediate personal interest is not bound up in the capitalist sys- tenn.

Electing Socialists to OtIice-A So
 cialist Experiment..

The Socialists of Battersea, Lon don, who have worked for this last three years with more or less suc- cess at all local elections, have just succeeded in returning four of their members on the yestry; Marson, Hoist, Grimble and Evans. These, with Rosslter, who is already sitting, gives the branch five representatives on the vestry, two others, Burton and Wilson, having had to retire on account of change of residence.
 Mrs. Hyndman, as treas surer of a children's soup kitchen, issues the following information in a balance sheet; The sum of f36 2s. Sd. was collected in one way and another; the expenditure amounted to f3l Is. Id. This amount provided no fewer than 9,231 poor children with good soup (chiehy made from neat and bread dinner. The cost of food and fuel alone, apart from price of copper" utensils, etc., was only f25. Thus each dinner cost less than two-thTds of q penny.

Arctic and Antarctic Iceber.s.

1t is not generally known that a
marked difference exists in the form Of
the icebergs of the two hemispheres.
Those of the Arctic ocean are irregular
in shape, with lofty pinnacles, cloud
capped towers and glittering domes,
whereas the southern icebergs are flat
topped and solid looking. The former
reach the shore by narrow fjords but
the formation of the latter is more regu-
lar. The northern are neither SO large
nor 50 numerous as those met with IN
the Southern ocean.
In 1855 an immense berg was sighted
in 42 degs. south latitude, which driCted
about for several months and was sighted
by many ships. 1t was 300 feet high,
sixty miles long and forty miles wide,
and was in shape like horseshoe. Its
two sides inclosed a sheltered bay meas
uring forty miles across. A large emf
grant ship ran into this bay and was lost
with all on board. Only about one-ninth
of an iceberg is visible above water
There are several well authenticated ac-
counts of icebergs 1000 feet high having
been sighted in the Southern ocean. This
would make their total height 5000
feet, or nearly two miles. Detroit Free

TAKE HEED.

The Herald sounds u note of warning
to the Democrats, and emphatically states
that thus far while that party has the ad-
vantage of position its opponents have
the lead in Organization and discipline.
In New York even there is the indication
OF petty quarrel over the Governorship
and Mayoraltv while the Republicans
are rapidly closing up their ranks
The Herald points out the State of Vir-
ginia as threatening break in the solid
aouth unless the Democrats make very
able canvass. We are glad to hear this
sound advice from 80 high an authority,
for we have been calling attention all the
time TO the nonsense of supposing that
the quarrel between Wise and Malone
would amount TO anything in disintegra'
ting the Republican party.
1t may not be clearly seen by people
generally, but the truth is that Malone
will hold his party better IN hand than
he has since 1883, and will be likely TO
poll more votes. We called attention to
the real cause of a threatened break in
the Democratic line in the Southwest
and suggested the remedy
The people of that section, aware of
the vast mineral resources of the coun-
try, have been taught that to develop
these interests and draw In Northern
capital nothing is necessary but protec-
ton.
Perhaps with time and good political
work we might infuse the truth into the
Southwestern Democrats, but the fear of
Malone and the hatred OF Wise having
nearly died out, the issue will be differ
emit from the former one, and selfinter.
est much prejudiced by Republican
teaching will incline the people of the
Southwest to the main idea of the Re-
publican canvass.
The remedy Is a thorough canvass on
the part Of the Democrats to clear away
the fallacies and show that there is no
free trade In the Mills bin but just
enough protection to be just. The story
of the Republican protectionist is a glow
ing one but when brought down to hard
pan It is transparent fraud.
II left to it's own glittering promises 1t
will beguile the average citizen of the
Southwest into the idea that protection
will make paradise Of any mountain
hollow suspected of containing coal or
iron.

For moro than month there has not

the plentiful Use of a cold tub, but n
Frencbman does not consider that the

proper precautions. In happier chimes

visit TO some fashionable Seaside bathing
place and there dia,ort himself OH the

scious pride, toward the sea. tall he was

he takes six baths. On his retirement
from the world he takes medicine and
devotes the first two days to preparing
himself for the ceremony. Then for six
consecutive days he takes a bath, the
water being slightly warmed, that he
may not catch chill, and then he re-
mains in doors for two more days, that
his system may have time to recover
from the shock before he exposes him
self to the chance of catching cold under
an August sun. The ten days passed,
he reappears among us washed and re-
juvenated, and so marvellous in his
economy that, on those half dozen baths,
he manages to lock perfectly clean all
the year round. ALI the Year Round.

ACAsE AGAINST THE TRUST"

A suit is pending in New York against
the Sugar Trust and doubtless prece-
dent will be set that will bar the most
despotic system of monopoly yet known.
The object Of trust or great combina-
ton of many corporations is to put The
price OF an article that they all produce
at an exorbitant rate and control the
market by controlling the supply. a
corporation thus acting would be liable,
but the Trust acts as corporation with
out having anything in the way OF
chartered organization that can be
reached
The question will be whether cor
poration can combine with another and
many others, and, all together, Fganize
ring monopoly to rob the people when
the charters of each corporation is
granted for the purpose of manufacturing
an article and under the condition that
the privileges are not abused.
Doubtless the trust company will be-
beaten. tits curious that Claus Spreckles,
the sugar monopolist, now occupies the
phenomenal position of fighting mo-
nopoly as he Is not in any Trust Com
bine.

The report that Hon. John 3. Wise Is
10 leave Virginia, win bring sadness TO
many hearts and tears will bedew the
last lingering footprints that mark bis
departure from the State. Some Of the
Republicans will lament the loss of Il
factional chief and others will rejoice
that csp.ious and disintegratine Gle.
ment has departed from among them and
left party harmony in sole charge of the
personal discipline Of General Malone.
Thus will Mr.. Wise depart, he who a
few years ago had the brilliant oppor
tunity Of popularity and public respect,
ali given away by vanity to the worship
Of fal-e gods and the selfish pursuit Of
preferment without patriotic motive.
Aside from the Joke, there is something
In his career and that of others like him
hat is sad, as they drift out on The re
ceding tide Of q temporary success never
to return again to the regard and con
sideration that home gives only

We have nothing unkind to say
of these men like him and Riddlebcrger
and many others. Times certain and
growing reproacb will be bitter enough 10
them when the shadows grow long and
dark and The waning sun begins to set
on the sad western slopes"
Mr.. Wise will be regretted much, hut
by none so sincerely as by the Democrats,
to whom his rashness and folly have so
often given victory.

The Court of Appeals of New York
has recently decided the very interesting
question whether or not intoxication IS
q crime. 1t seems that New York
policeman had been convicted OF public
drunkenness, and had been dismissed
from his position under the clause of the
constitution of that State which prohibits
any one convicted of any crime whatever
from remaining on the police force. The
dismissed man cOntended that drunken
ness was not crime in the eyes of the
law, and took the case to the Court of
Appeals. There it was decided against
him on the ground that public intoxica.
tion under that statute had all the ele-
ments ora crime, being offensive to pub
lie decency and dangerous to the good
order and well-being of society. The
decision established the rule that no per-
son can be appointed q patrolman or per-
mitted to remain such on the police force
of New York city, who has ever been
fined or imprisoned for intoxicstion in a
public place.

insolence, and the result was lawsuit
Nevada won the suit, however. Her plea

according to fundamental and simple law,
that the blood can enable but ope set OF
