LIVELY ROUMANIA.

A general revolt of the peasants of
Wallachia has broken out. The
number Of peasants who have re-
volted is said to be nearly 1000
The movement is purely one of de-
spair caused by the fearful distress
which exists amongst the peasantry,
and is absolutely unorganized.
Some conflicts have taken place
between the troops and the peasants.
Several mayors and village popes
have been killed, and the houses
and farm buildings Of the farmers
have been destroyed. The peasants
Of Moldavia, who are for the most
part affiliated to the Socialist Party,
have taken no part in the revolt.

TO CATCH SUCKERS.
The Free Trade and Tariff Racket
Rain.

Just as we predicted a year or two
ago, the pr Sidential election cam
pagn will resound with the voices
of those mveterate "friends" " of the
poor workingman, the tariff re-
former, the free trader, and the high
tariff protectionist. The free trader
innocently wants to swap with his
European gull without paying
Uncle Sam for the privilege of dis
posing of his goods to whom he sees
fit; and the protectionist wants to
make the free trader and everybody
else pay into the hands of the Gus
toms officers enough money to make
it an expensive pleasure to import
foreign goods.
But if any one can prove to the
intelligent workingman what benefit
he will derive from either of these
quacks, we should like to see him
challenge the Socialist Labor Party
to furnish a debater on the question
and have it out" with him.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
Mr.. Badger then drew picture of the
ideal redublic which socialists are striv-
ing for, closely following the outline of
Gronlund'S Cooperative Commonwealth.
In conclusion he said:
"We are living in a transition state ;
we are just entering upon new social
order where the verities of things must
conform to the realities. God-given and
so-called natural rights which in the
past were used as tools and expedients
to get rid of despotism, authority and
the rule of kings, nobility and clergy,
are to be placed in the gallery of shams.
Much that has been learned will have to
be unlearned, for the new order is to be
placed on foundation of facts, and the
only rights which may be claimed by
man will be those which society-the
state, or the real government of man
will give him. When the states, too,
are in the rubbish heap. and the true
State, the whole people united in one
body poltic-the Nation with big NJ,
the individualist-autocrat will be shorn
of the power which he now has, for with
his railroad corporations and trusts he
makes and unmakes legislatures and
raises or lowers the condition of his
slaves. We see in the industrial organi-
zation of to-day the promise of the in
dustrial commonwealth of tomorrow.
The working masses are beginning to

The spirit of the new era, which inflames
the soul of the socialist, has found lodg-

toilers. Long ago DR.. Woolsey prophe-
sled that a revolution, slow or rapid,
will certainly bring about new order of
things. That revolution is here. So
ciaists are endeavoring to guide it to a
happy issue, and in developing the labor
organization they find that their most
difficult task is to restrain the impatient

THE NEW HEADQUARTERS.
A Busy Hive for the \. l.. P.'s Repre-.
sentatiNeS.

Although not quite ready for oc-
cupancy, the building recently leased
by the National Executive Commit
tee and the Central Committee of
the New York Section is already the
scene of industry. Our friends else
where will probably be interested in
few remarks about the new head
quarters.
Located midway between two of
New York's principal thoroughfares,
and only a block from each, the
house at % East Fourth street is
most conveniently situated, in the
very heart of the city, 1t is as CEN
tral a location as could well have
been chosen for the convenience of
the members Of the local Section.
The front of the house presents a
good appearance, the basement, but
few steps below the sidewalk, be-
ing faced with plate glass windows,
as is the first floor. Both the base
ment and first floor extend back
ninety feet, giving room for meet
ings. The house Is a little narrower
than could have been wished, being
about twenty-one feet wide. In the
basement there will probably be II
restaura, t. On the first floor the
officers of the Party, and its publicA
tions, Der Socialist and the Work.
MEN s ADVOCATE, as well as a branch
office of the V0lks-Zeitung, will oc-
cupy the front room. The second
and third floors will be occupied by
various organizations, and the top
floor will be used as composing
room and printing office, where
the party journals as well as other
publications will be printed. A job
printing office will also be estab-
lished Already the WoRkMEN's
ADVOCATE is being prepared in its
new home, though under some diff
culties, owing to the exigencies of
moving the material from New
Haven. When the equipment of the
printing Office is complete, the So
cialist Labor Party will have ample
means of "spreading the light"
The meeting room on the first
floor has a capacity for seating two
or three hundred people. Already
two or three meetings have been
held in it, though it is not yet fin
ished.
Visiting friends and comrades will
find the new Socialist headquarters a
convenient place to get information,
and if they are not thoroughly inter
viewed it will not be the fault of the
newspaper men.

ANARCHY AND SCROFULA.
The Denver Labor Enquirer" As.
sists the American Magazine"

slsls the American Magazine.
The american Nagagine for May
will contain an article, by y con-
tributor, on "The Anarchists.
The only purpose in view in pub
fishing the comments of the edi-
tor of the magazine on the article
in question is to show how the
depths of the aristocracy have been
stirred with terror by the explosion
of the one measly little bomb that
was thrown by some as yet undiscov-
cred person at the Eaymarket. The
editor says:
During these two years (since the
Haymarket affair, the anarchists have
not been idle. Secretly, stealthily, they
have spread their perniclous doctrines,
formed branches of their baneful order,
and laid their plans with the utmost care
to prevent another failure. Their lead
ers are not ignorant men. They are fan
atics, with brains-the most dangerous
class in the community. Many of them
believe in their mission, and are willing
to die for it. They have counted the
cost and will fire the mines they have
dug under our cities, even if they them
selves are involved in the common ruin"
The nightmare which terrorlzes
the magazine editor would be laugh
able but for the vein of earnestness
which runs through the whole thing.
He says further:
"The author shows us that we are
treading on volcano whose hidden fires
may at any moment break out and over
whelm us. He forces upon the reader a
reality most awful to contemplate and
too frightful to endure"
The poor, foolish editor raves at
length about the necessity for the
enactment Of laws for the suppress
sion of anarchy" never taking into
consideration the fact that he might
as well, and with as much sense,
howl for the enactment Of statute
laws against scrofula, or any other
disease to which the human family is
heir. He never stops to think that
anarchy AS viewed by himself
and the whole aristocracy-is an
eruption on the social body, which
cannot be cured by applying the
plaster of repressive statutory en-
actment.
Tine logic of events in the womb
of the coming quarter of century
may teach HIM and his kind that
" laws" to prevent social scrofula
anarchy") will oe just as eflica-
cious i'll preventing the disease as
would a law which read: Be it en-
acted that no person shall henceforth
be afflicted with the disease known
as scrofula.
1t may take other and worse ex.
perlences than that of the Haymar-
ket to teach the upper classes that it
is useless to try to prevent effects
without seeking for causes; but one
thing is very evident-that as long
as the caase of upheavals and dis
turbances in our social system ex-
lists, so long may we expect them.
When we realize the fact that
priests and preachers are simply
paid liars when they tell us that
poverty is a God-ordained instltu-
ton, and that instead it is an insti-
tuition created by the brutality and
selfshness of man-when we realize
this there will be no desperate, mad
dened, hungry humans, only waiting
an opportunity to destroy insttu-
tions which tend to perpetuate slav-
cry and starvation.

UTOPlAN SOCIALISM
Not the Modern Scientific Socialism
which IL DcmOnstrable.


which Is DcmOnstrable.
From time immemorial certain
fanclful friends of humanity, moved
with Il deep feeling for those of the
race who languished in need and op-
preston, have busted themselves in
devlsing social ideal, whose reali-
zation, whether attained through
State or through uprising of the
people, they should hail asan end to
all human woes.
Nearly all these designers of futur-
ity, agreeing in one particular,
namely. in proclaiming the estab-
llshment Of Il common possession of
property, and acommon social status
as foundation for society in the
future, have been denominated So
clalists, and their doctrine social
ism.
The Socialists, who have appeared
from time to time during the past
thousand years, have paid but little
attention to the circumstances and
surroundings of their own age, each
regarding his own particular system
as discovery, which could be car
rled into immediate practice, and
which might have relieved mankind
centuries before, had it only been
thought of.
Meanwhile, in the course Of his.
torical development Of culture, the
practical relation of things attained
level where those rising social prin-
ciples regarding common possession
of property and common production
W. clearly placed on a common
fouh lation, speaking Of development
in the sense Of culture and improve
ment in the economic relations OF
their own age.
This practical development nat
urally made its appearance also III
contemporaneous scientific criticism,
and led at once to system which
conceded with the political theses OF
the time, and was therefore called
socialism. But, as appears from the
foregoing, the new and more mod
ern and scientific socialism is to be
carefully distinguished from the ear
lier and more ideal. While the lat
ter was born of universal ethical
principles without the modification
of actuality, and has, in certain re-
spects, eyaporated into mere theory,
modern socialism claims the work.
ings of society as its own forces and
motives Of action, and demonstrates
that these, in their final application,
must necessarily lead to common
possession and common production.
Socialism having, therefore, for it's
basis experience and investigation, is
the political and economic equality
of every individual within the State
being considered-no artificial pro-
ductlon, but the necessary result of
modern social relations, which the
socialists, in their logical deductions
and consequences, have recognized
and for whose further development
they propose the most appropriate
materials.
The aim of the socialists is, ac-
cordlngly, socialistic and demo-
cratic form of State, especially in
those States where monarchial rule is
still the dominant form of govern
ment.
Clearly to discover the function
and sphere of the democratic and So
cialistic state, we must have recourse
to a general and historical survey of
the past, which we will enjoy with
our readers next week. .*
