Combining instruction With Pleasure.
Penny Co-Operation.'
Last weeks Friday evening meeting at
the Labor LyCeum was a most enjoyable
one, as well as highly instructive. The
musical and literary program was al
most lmpromptu, but nevertheless was
well received, and consisted of an over
ture on the piano by member of the
Progressive Musical Union; either duet,
by Mr.. Eberle and Miss kammerer; the
ghost scene from " Hamlet by Mr.. Duff
field; piano solo; song by Mr.. Tom
O'Reilly; recitation by Mrs. Bowron;
song by Miss Rema Mjinch; either solo,
by Mr.. Eberle; song in costume by a
member of the Lasalle Dramatic Society;
either chorus, by the Mozart Either
Club The either music was delightful
and thoroughly enjoyed, while Miss
Mdnchs and Mr.. O'Reilly's singing won
the admiration of all. Indeed, every
event was rewarded with generous ap-
plause. Then Mr.. Thomas O'Neill was
introduced, and more logical and in
structive lecture was never delivered be-
fore the Lyceum. He illustrated the in
evitable failure which must attend
individual cooperative enterprises
penny co-operation-and pointed out
the advantages of national or universal
cooperation when the best means of
production can be used and the greatest
results obtained. The small co-operat-
ors had to adopt capitalist methods of
exchange, compete with large capital in
the market, and eventually became mere
small joint stock companies. who fondly
and vainly expected the working people
to patr0nize them, even at a disadvant-
age. Such sham co operation tended to
discourage. Real cooperation demanded
the abolition of our present unjust com
petitive system and the Inauguration OF
a scientific system, where all could bene.
fit by the best means Of production OBJ
tainable.
The lecture was fully appreciated, es-
peclalIy by the Socialists present.
After the lecture the hall was cleared
for dance, which lasted till midnight.

The committee sent to Albany to at
tend the special session of the Legisla-
ture in the interest of many labor meas
ures submitted lengthy report, without

The Arbitration Committee in the case
of kutscher & Tiedt, furniture manu-
facturers. who threatened to re-estab-
fish the ten-hOur system, reported that
the firm were willing to submit to arbi-
tratiOn.

the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted;
Whereas, During the past week death
has taken from us COurtandt Palmer,
one Of the few rich men whose heart al
ways felt for the wrongs under which
the producing masses suffer, and whose
public and private acts were always in
accord with these feelings;
Resolred, That the Central Labor
Union feels that in the death of Mr.
Palmer the people not only of this city,
but of the whole world, have lost a true
and most valuable friend; and
Rcs0lred, That we express our deepest
sympathy with the family of Mr..
Palmer, and that the secretary be in
structed to forward copy of these reso-
buttons to them.

GERMAN TRADES PAPERS.

! -
The trades papers published in the
German language III this country gener-
ally stand upon advanced principles, and
are therefore valuable aids in the pro-
gresslve labor movements Among our
esteemed exchanges we find the Baecker
IttoHg, finely printed and ably edited
paper, which has done yeoman ser
vice in the organization and advance
ment of the German bakers. There is
an appearance of solidity and success
about it that must have its influence,
and speaks well for the management
George &. Block, formerly secretary of
the Bakers National Union, conducts
the paper, and in Il progressive spirit
that merits the admiration of all who
value the improvement of the mental rs
well as the material condition of the
workers. The bakers show much inn
provement since the simultaneous or
ganization of their national union and
the establishment of the Baecker /eH-
uag.
There seems to be natural affinity
between the bakers and brewers organ
izations, and the Brduer Zeiting may be
Classed among the most advanced of
trades papers, The spirit of this paper
is, decidedly socialistic, and the able
manner in which it is conducted speaks
well for the intelligence Of the organiza-
ton which it represents. 1t is large,
four-page sheet, geographically excel
lent, and full of entertaining and instruc-
tive matter. With such a mentor the
brewers should rapidly become one of
the most intelligent and best educated
bodies Of working people.
The DcWSch Amerikauische BHch-
dr1tcker Zeittng is the official journal of
the German-American Topographic,
and is strictly trades union paper, the
oretically at least. There are occasional
Indications discernible of leaning to-
wards opportunism, better understood
among Germans as Schranzpohtik,
though the organization Of which it is
the organ prohibits the introduction of
political questions. The Buchdrucker
Zeitamg is behind most of its contempor-
aneous German trades journals, though
this may be surprising to many who have
been in the habit of considering printers
as little above the average workmen in
intelligence. But the German printers,
like their American fellow craftsmen,
are inclined to what is called conserva-
tism. Hugo Miller, secretary Of the or
ganization, is the editor.
The Nobel ArbeHer Journal is another
Of the progressive trades papers, and
represents the spirit of the organization
it exists for, the Furniture Workers
Union. Its editor Henry Emerich, is
well known trades uniOnst and socialist,
one of the active men in the labor move
ment. The J0Hnui also has English
columns.
The Hammer is the name Of the vigor-
ously written official organ of the Ger
man Metal Workers Union, and is also
progressive trade paper. 1t also prints
English columns. The Hummer is pub
lished at Baltimore, and is conducted by
Henry Appel, the Secretary of the Metal
Workers Union.

THE MAN BORN BLIND.

A man born blind received his sight
By a painful operation;
And these are the things he saw in the
light
Of an infant observation.
He saw merchant, rich and wise,
And greatly, too, respected
Who looked, to those imperfect eyes,
Like a swindler undetected.
He saw patriot address
A noisy public meeting,
And said; why, that's calf, | guess,
And for the teat is bleating."
A doctor stood beside a bed
And shook his head quite sadly,
go see that foul assassin" said
The man who saw so badly.
He saw lawyer pleading for
A thief whom they'd been falling,
And said: "That's an accomplish, or
My sights already failing"
Upon the bench Justice sat,
With nothing to restrain him;
cts strange" said the observer, that
They ventured to unchain him."
tie saw parson pound the Book
AS twere an erring brother;
tie serves Ahaddon and has look
As If he We're another"
With theologic work supplied,
lie saw that Self-Same preacher.
" A burglar with his kit" he cried,
"TO rob fellow creature "
An honest farmer next he saw
Sell produce in 4 village;
And said: What, what! is there no
FEE law
To punish men for pllage?"
A.dame, tall, fair and stately passed,
Who many charms united;
he thanked his stars that his lot was
Where sepulchres We're whited.
He saw in splendrous attire
Some Grand Supreme Commander "
"A peacock's plumes don't admire"
He swore, "upon gander"
He saw a soldier. stiff and stern.
-" Full of strange oaths y and toddy,
But was unable to discern
A wound upon his body.
Twenty square leagues of rolling ground
TO one great man belonging,
Looked like one little grassy mound
With worms beneath if thrOnging.
A palaces well-carven stones.
Where Dives dwelt contented,
Seemed built throughout of human
77' bones
With human blood cemented
He'watched the yellow, shining thread
A SiIk-Worm was a spinning,
"That'creature's coming gold" he said,
"To'pay some girl for shining"
His eyes were so unframed and dim,
All politics, religions.
Arts, sciences, appeared to him
Machines for plucking pigeons.
And so he drew his final breath,
And thought he saw with sorrow
Some persons weening for his death
Who'd be all smiles tomorrow.

NEW York, Nov. According to
cable dispatch from Queenstown, the
Umbria reached that port at 10 o'clock
last night. If this be true the Umbria
made the fastest eastward passage across
the Atlantic on record. The running
time being six days, two hours and twenty
two minutes. The best eastward passage
hitherto made by the Etrunia on April
18th, 1888 was six days, four hours and
40 minutes. The best westward passage
on record is six days, one hour and fifty
minutes by the Etrunia. According to all
1.-The accounts brought in by ships from
over the western ocean, tile Umbria had
howling northwest gale to boom her along
the whole voyage.

BENTON, Nov. ia novel sight was
presented on our streets today, says the
River Press. There were 26 teams.
driven by full-blooded Piegan Indians,
which arrived from the Blackfoot agency
last night. Seventeen Of them were
loaded with 500 hides which had been
taken from the agency beef cattle during
the last five Or six months, which were
unloaded at l. G. Baker & Co.'S levee
warehouse. The teams, we understand
belong to the Indians who drive them,
and they receive good figures for hauling
freight to and from the agency. The red
"lord of creation" grasps the situation
with firm hand and a clear conscience
and rakes in the ducats with all the
relish of his white brother.
