son) that there were other interests, and those capItalistic ones, repre- sented under the cloak of delegate" from this or that union
 Now, we are not inclined to "cry over spilled milk" but rather take things as they are and proceed. Labor politics will not always be of the kind that the advanced trades unionists had to fear instead of com mend. The Socialist Labor Party, by it's well known fidelity to the cause of labor, it's incorruptibliity and the soundness of it's doctrines, has merited and does merit and en- joy the confidence of a large number of trades organizations as well as of individual members of such organl- cations as have not, in a body, aC- knowlcdged allegiance to the Party. The recent determination of the Socialists to make use of their party organization in active politics has had an invigoratlng effect upon ad- vanced labor reformers both in and outside of the Socialist organization, and the inevitable result-mark it we.l-will be that the labor move ment will more and more assume a political character without in the least diminishing the efficiency of labor organizations in economic ac- tion, but on the contrary, reinforce them in that particular. It seems frivolous, therefore, for radical men to continue longer in the attempt to unqualtiedly y keep politics out" of labor organizations. The proper thing to do is to keep heelers out, and to organize upon new and i'm proved basis, recognizing real labor politics and working in harmony with the worlds labor party.
 And, without wishing to offend honest conservatives, we submit that they would be much less sub ject to reactionary influence if they tried the experiment. of "golng 1t alone" for q while, for we are con vinced that they would soon discover that they owe more to the radical element than they are now perhaps aware of, and percelving this they would be apt to study their interests more closely, and fall in line with their comrades who are a step in ad. vance.

MORE LIGHT.

"Olt- GiNII
 From Maine to California there exists strong desire to know of some means whereby change can be produced in our present social system. There is scarcely a man in the great mass of laborers who is not actively or passively opposed to the present iniquitous system, the knowledge of existing wrong, of condition of slavery, of a system of bondage bad as African slavery, and yet the number of those who can form conception of any better con- ditlon of things, or who can define a more just state of society is a mere handful, and even their opinions are so widely scattered as to be rather a hlndrance to progress than of any material assistance. A vague general idea seems to pervade the masses as to Something wanted, a Some thing to be done, and yet there are but few who can tell what is re- quired.
 This Is not the case with the So- cialist Labor Party. We know ex- actly and definitely what we want, exactly what is required, and ex- actly how to get it. Truth is to its enemies seemingly unreasonable; it IS stubborn, refusing to bend for a moment, or to swerve from the strict line of it's progress. And it is with truth pure and simple that Socialists have to deal.
 The masses have been tricked and duped from time to time until they are afraid to trust to the teachings of labor reformers. Promises have been made only to be broken; in duCements held out as a bait to catch the weary and heartsick toil- CTS, who willingly grasped at almost anything to give them relief, even though they could not understand the theories propounded to them.
 Now, socialism is simple in doc- Urine and so plain that anyone can grasp it's meaning and intent at once. Therefore we say to our com rades, Spread the light, SOW the seed. Once let the people become thor oughly versed in our principles and nothing can bar our progress or hin der victory from being ours.
 A general expression of ideas is not sufficient. A knowledge of first principles is absolutely necessary to every Socialist who desires to propa- gate the doctrines he holds. A few general catch phrases will not sui. flee, nor will fierce denunciaton of capitalism accomplish anything; plain statement of cold facts in plain, unvarnished language will find acceptance to the general think Ing public, and those people who dc not think will be forced to do sc when brought face to face with truth. The hope of the future is in education, and it must be of such q character as will demonstrate the possibilities of the future, and the means by which better condition of social life may be assured.

TIE REPUBLICAN" PARROT TALKS.

THE "REpUBLCAN" PARROT TALKS.
 Harrison and Morton have been elected and the government of this country goes back to the party which stood by the Union when the Demo- crats tried to destroy it. * x It insures period of unprecedented prosperity. Capitalists will feel se- cure in investing their money, new factories will spring up and old ones now closed and barred on account of uncertainty will soon hum with busy operatives. All sorts of business en- terprise will go forward, for free traders have been taught a lesson that will last them several years. Especially will the results of yester- days election benefit the new and industrial South, and as our South ern brethren realize more and more the wisdom of this Northern policy of protection it will break up sec tional feeling and make united na- tion.

that, for the best interests of mankind, such a condition must be brought about, and that in some way it will be.-Std- ttOaary Engineers Journal
 There is indeed "much food for thought" my dear editors and pro. fessors, but what kind and quality of thought? The logic of events has compelled you to recognize evils that have been pointed out to you as possibilities years before they have really happened, predicted by the daspised and ostracized Socialists, whom you no doubt consider unsci- entitic and dangerous. But unscien- tiic as we are we take the liberty to inform you that no men or set of men are so dangerous to society as those who have the intellectual abil- ity and prostitute it to what they choose to call business, or those who, while they are not governed by mere business considerations, still allow their minds to be warped either by social environments or educational dogmatism.
 And it is useless for any one to deny that the overwhelming ma jor- ity of those who may be called lead CTS of literature and professional ed ucators are influenced by either one or the other of these causes.
 Now, there is nothing that proves this 80 conclusively as the attempts that have been made by such men to criticize socialism. It has been my good fortune to have had the op- portunity to read the various criti- cisms that have been made during the past ten years by the scientific opponents of socialism, men of the most eminent standing as profess slonal thinkers and writers, but with one honorable exception, Thomas Kirkup (author of the ar ticle on socialism in the EncyclO- pe0ia Britannico), it could be plainly seen that socialism, in the minds of these doctrinaires, had been con- demned before they had really inves- tigated it. But it was not their in- tellectual faculties that performed that task, 1t was their emotional fac ulties, their temperament. If social ism were dead, corpse, we might then get them to dissect and analyze it; but so long as It is a living force, and especially progressive one, it simply acts as an irritant to their susceptibilities.
 It is paradoxical, perhaps, to say that of the many criticisms of so ciallsm that 1 have read, none of them have criticized socialism. With but the one exception 1 have mentioned, all the would-be critics start on their crusade against social ism in about the same mental condi- ton as that attributed to Don Quix- ote upon bidding farewell to his 'Dul- cinea de Tobosa.' Their overtaxed brains conjure up a monster, such one as could only emanate from the filth, slime and all manner of foul- ness that daily pours into and be- comes assimilated through the edl- torlal sanctums of our news journals, and then, with the assurance born of privilege, they label this nightmare socialism, and forthwith they proceed to prove-what? Why, simply thls, that they have been de- molishing a monster of their own conception-one, in fact, that the socialists themselves would have as- sisted them in destroying had they been called upon. Meanwhile the real, living and present socialism moves forward, unshaken, irreslst- ible, and enlightening to those who seek the truth. J. EDWARD HALL.

A prominent member of the United Q Labor Party calls our at tention to the following paragraph in the platform of that organiza- tlon:
 I've demand of the legislature the enactment of laws on the subject of trusts which shall interpret and en- force the spirit of the common law, if it shall appear that the monstrous and rap idly growing evils of these monopolies cannot be etfectually prevented by the enforcement, under penalties, of such enactments, believing as we do that the welfare of the people is the supreme law, we declare that we shall stop at no en- largement of the social functions that shall be found necessary to abate this menace to the liberties of the people"
 Well, what do they mean when they declare: Eve shall stop at no enlargement of the social functions that shall be found necessary" Does 1t mean war-roal, physical, ruinous war-against trusts? Let the oracles explain, Shall the right of combination be abridged? Is not the right to combine one of the "lib- critics of the people?" Citizen Ed ward McGlynn, stand up.

The swedish Domestlo's Popularity.

The Swedish colony in Brooklyn is groW-

The Swedes are frugal and law abiding, and
in a short time become good citizens. They
live principally on Atlantic avenue, between
Court and Smith streets. and in adjacent
thoroughfares, and many of them own and
successfully run small shops and saloons.
With housewives Swedish servants have
always been popular, and am told that the
supply falls far short Of the demand for
them. The Swedish domestic never comes
to this country unless she has previously
made some arrangement for obtaining work
Immediately on her arrival, or unless she
