''Will your party vote in the next
election9"
II do not think so, said Mr.. Jonas;
sat least not here. In the west under
stand that the soeialistic labor men will
support the United Labor candidates.
Here we shall probably have no candt-
dates, and shall refrain from voting. We
don't care whether the Republicans or
Democrats win. Personally, l believe
that Mr.. Cleveland will be President
again, but he is politician, little differ
ent from the others. So are all the men
likely to be proposed by the Republicans.
There isn't a principle anywhere. Even
free trade is not principle. 1t depends.
Under the present industrial system we
should rather see protection than free
trade, for the good of the country, but un-
der a good system free trade would come
naturally. / say that we shall probably
not vote in this election. We might. II

to the men who would unite if any such
thing should happen. AS l say, wa are
working to organize the laboring men.
The time has come when they no longer
imagine themselves to be Of the same
class as the rich. They have learned that
they are wageworkers, men condemned
to earn their daily bread in the sweat o.
their brows, and to transmit the legacy Of

say that they have about 1900 regularly
organized followers, with several times
as many more men who incline to their
views. Most was a socialist when he was
in Germany, but he is no longer SO mild
in his language. He breaches violence,
while the socialistic labor leaders make
it milder by calling it strike" or boycott.
The cry of the sOcialstic labor leader is
organization. He breaches it to the edge
of nbsurdity the further edge at
that.
Editor Alexander Jonas said to your
correspondent; 1--WE are trying to organ
ize the workingmen, but we do not want
any more prophets like Henry George,
who is no more than politician. The
fight between capital and labor is differ.
ent now from what it was even three or
four yyars ago. Then it was organized
labor against single boss or may be
against few bosses; now, it is against
organized capital A single one of the
labor organizations cannot cope with or
ganized capital. What we want is to
unite the different central bodies so
called, the Labor Union, the Trade So
cieties, the United German Trades Unions,
and the Knights. They should all act in
harmony. There should be an advisory
committee composed Of representatives
from all these, and it should tell the Ia
boring mgn what TO do. A stlike or a
boycott Ro;lid De formidable under such
circumstances, for it would surely be CON
Quoted judiciously; there would lie more

brewers fight II is a fact that theunion
brewers are getting rich, they cannot
supply the enormous demand being made
upon them, Their business has grown
way beyond their widest hopes. On the
other hand, some of the smaller non.
union brewers-a half dozen at least-are
almost sure to be bankrupt This result
was achieved by about twenty-five per
cent. of organized labor, so to speak.
What would be the result if we had a

There is something in what Mr.. Jonas
says. If he and his colleagues are irving
to work up an enormous boycott, per

r.rpttual Motion Inventors.

George Stephenson, England's great engi-
Necr, began his experience as an inventor
with the perpetual motion problem, for
which he constructed machine. His bieg-
raphcr describes itas consisting of a wooden
wheel, the periphery of which was furnished
with glass tubes filled with quicksilver; and
as the wheel rotated the quicksilver poured
itself down into the lower tubes, and thus g
sort of self acting motion was kept up in the
apparatus, which, however, did not prove to
be perpetual"
Not year passes but some new enthusiast
lodges at the patent office the specifications
of some machine for perpetual motion This
IS not in itself considered evidence of insan.
lty, but it is unquestonably regarded by
some proof of mechanical alteration.

their slavery to their children through
many generations yet to come. But if we
can ameliorate this by organization, it
must be the largest possible union. In
that case we would be triumphant.
Workmen are beginning to recognize this,
| say, and a small commotion would
shake an astonishing number of us to-
gether.n
Perhaps the politicians would do well
to avert such connections till after cleo
tion time, for though Mr. Jonas oyeresti-
mates theresulthe is not wholly mistaken
about It, New York is n queer town, and
it threw a great many votes for Mr.. Henry
George one day, almost on the spur of the
moment.
Between the bomb and the boycott, the
apostle of Violence, with large v, and
the apostle of an impossible, bloodless
war, there is one interesting figure in So
cialistic circles here; it is the towering
form of the mild-mannered Justus
Schwab. He used to train with Most, but
he split off from him little over two
years ago. That was the time when the
incendiarism above referred to was talked
so much about. Whether it was that or
other dangerous counsels of the Most
party, at any rate they did not suit hand
some old Justus Schwab, who is one of
the most thoroughly honest man in New
York City. Too intelligent to be man
| of violence or leader in impossible COM
| binations, lie stands as a radical socialist
| who would not harm his neighbor, and
hates to see him oppressed. Justus
| Schwab is spoken Of as an apostle Of beel
because he keeps beer saloon, but for al
that, he is a man of sobriety and goot
counsel, whose wisdom land the fear o.
him) may have done more than the polict
to prevent violence in this city two year
ago. He has considerable following
and few, if any Of them, break the law
which none of them approve.
A peep in at one of the meetings 0
the socialists would cause the averag
American to feel some surprise. Their
may be nearly thousand men in the hal
listening to speeches in German. Befor
nearly every man stands a glass of bee
brought by walters from the depths bt

The times are quiet now, and the sur

are not disbanded in New York, and tn,

exercise. Their proper and rational
use makes them the source of mans
great happiness. We find our highest
and purest joy in the exercise of our
highest and noblest powers and affec
tions. Works of justice, equity and
benevolence bring to man the purest,
sweetest and most enduring happiness.
1t is in the world of active effort and
earnest endeavor that we find life's mu-
sic, sunshine and JOY. The men and
women who live pure, unseliish and be-
nevolent lives find heaven here and
now.
God has set us the great and divine
example of work. The universe is full
OF activity. We find motion, move
ment and action everywhere. The
world is a workshop,a labOrat "a fac
tory, a schoolroom and temple. All
nature is constantly at work. The
planning mind, the strong will, the
working force that fills nature is God.
The universe is the infinite field of his
industry and enterprise. In the cease
less, wise and benevolent movements
of nature he sets us an example of in
dustry. God is always at work, and
in this he teaches man to work. We
should initiate the divine example and
obey the divine teaching, Jesus has
taught us by his own example the ne
cessity, duty and dignity of labor.
Christ was the carpenters son. The
son of God was a mechanic. He work
ed in his fathers's shop and at his faith
er's bench. lie was man of toll, and
trained to labor. After he entered the
ministry he became religious worker.
He went about doing good as teacher,
preacher, healer, reformer and comfort
er. Let us follow his example and
walk in his footsteps, by our industry,
purity and beneyolence.
