COURTLANDT PALMER.

The sudden death Of Courtlandt
Palmer last Sunday was sad loss
to the progressive movement, for he
WAS a man Of rare earncstness, firm
ness Of conviction, and withal q
man Of courage. There was no
sham IN his mental makeup; he
was a lover Of truth, and the fact
that he moved in the " best society "
and possessed great wealth, was no
barrier to the expression Of his hon
est convictions, and, what is more,
his position did not prevent him
from actively engaging in the con-
tict against capitalism and hypoc-
rlsy and using the wealth in his pos
session to assist in the work. He
was u itecthInkor, and as such an
active member Of societies for the
promotion Of free thought. He was
man Of large mind, q liberal of the
liberals. All this and more has been
said of him while he lived, and now
that he is dead those who enjoyed
his companionship, and the many
who knew of his upright and usefuI
life, will honor his memory,

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE SAME OLD SQUABBLE.

THE SAME OLD SQUABBLE.
That the country is to be treated
to a campaign of measures, and not
men, as we are assured will be true
of the national contest now opening,
is a circumstance as welcome and re-
freshlng as It's occurrence in these
later days has been rare. Voters are
to contend, it is said, for the su-
premacy of certain principles rather
than to register their preferences
merely for one candidate or another,
or to compass the defeat Of cunning
and INSCRIPTIONS leaders.
1t were we'll If this were 50; but
we fear that the old, time struggle
between the ms and the outs is, in a
measure, to be repeated. The Dem
Ocrats, having now very large ma
jority of the offices, want to hold
what they have, and get possession
of all that remain. The Republi-
cans, ranking at their loss Of power,
seek to regain possession of the field
and officer the political army with
men of their own choosing. The
spoils of Office still form a leading
object Of partisan warfare. -BOSt0h

PARNELLISM AND LAW.

The sensation of the week has
ended in a miserable fzzle. O'Don-
nell rs. the Times was to have been
the cause ce7ebre of the season, and
then, when the legal luminaries of
the Government had given a rehash
of all the old charges Of completely
with crime which had appeared in
the Times, it was suddenly discov-
cred that the plaintiff had no case.
The Thunderer had forged-liter-
ally forged-its bolts not against
him but against some other fellow.
The other fellow, who was Mr.. Par
nell, from his place in the House of
Commons denounced the whole of
the charges as a connection Of lies
and forgerles, and there the matter
ended. 1t seems to us a mistake
that it was ever begun. The Times
libels had served their purpose, and
it was not likely that verdict would
be given against them, though not
one man in ten believes that the re-
spectacle middle-class politicians of
Mr.. Parnell's party were ever guilty
of the charges brought against them.
If the Acknowledgement and his col
leagues in the Government have any
faith in these charges let them take

At the very outset of the political
campaign nearly all the labor papers
of the country are choosing sides,
and may be found advocating the
principles Of one or the other Of the
two principal parties. There must
be reason for this. For 10, these
many days the labor papers have as
serted and reasSerted the fact that
labor could have nothing to hope for
at the hands of either of these two
parties. Have either Or both be-
come suddenly fired with zeal in be-
half of the toilers and against the
trust? We trow not. But labor
papers must live, if they can. There
are barrels in sight, at least within

merchant of New York is reported
as saying that when the African
mines were discovered there was
very nearly a panic, which was
ayerted by a combination Of large
dealers, who banded together and
bought a control OF all the diamond
mines. Two great companies, the
Central Diamond Mining Company
and the Kimberly Company, practi-
caIly control the diamond market Of
the world, and no new diamonds are
put upon the market except as they
permit; and the price is kept whore
it is by the combination, and is not
influenced by supply or demand. "
Now, these diamond men would not
advocate universal cooperation.
They want competition, except m
their 0lcR h'ade.
Laurence Gronlund is very severe on
free traders, and claims that protection
will be the policy under the cooperative
commonwealth. The Chicago LABOR
Enquirer advocates free trade, and pre-
tends that socialism naturally implies
absolute freedom of trade, Both Gron-
lund and the Enquirer are champions of
"Scientitic Socialism, Further com
ment is unnecessary. -Liberty {" dHdr-
chistD
1t is evidently difficult, perhaps
impossible, it seems, for Mr.. Tucker
to make an argument upon truthful
premises. Laurence Gronlund merely
considers free trade as an incident
to individ ualism, and he does not
claim that high tarjt will be the pol
icy under the cooperative common
wealth, although protection, in its
true sense, will be ali incident of
socialism, and anarchy an impossi-
bility. Johann Most, Ben. Tucker,
and a few satellites of theirs, don't
seem to agree on " scientific an
archy," but they certainly talk like
anarchists, even if they do act con-
trary to their idea of CELEBRITY
It's not CELEBRITY or death" with
them by any means, though it may
be their alternative is demagoguery
or starvation.

UNSClENTIFlC " AMERICAN. "

UNSCIENTlFlC AMERICANA
Last weeks issue of the Scientific
1mcrjr"H approyingly publishes an
article from the 1mrriraH .1rftSaH,
which strikes us as being decidedly
unsciontiiic. 1t says, under the
caption of " Why Mechanics Are
out of EmpIoymcnt;:"
"There are said to be many thous-
and, of mechanics and other Worknen
in lineage ont Of employment This Is
not altogether due to local causes, says
osr contemporary the american IHiSaU,
for it is true that men are constantly
iIocklng here from every quarter eN-
pcctiug to find employment, only to find
the labor market already glutted The
daily papers tell lis there is a surplus of
labor in other cities also and conse-
Quently large numbers are idle. Part of
this is due to the rapid influx of people
from other countries, who largely gray

IT Is the fact that her own wOrkingmen
might be nearly all employed but for
their own agitation and unwiSe de-
mandS. The strikes and the threatened
strikes among the mechanics of the
building trades at the beginning of the
season had the effect of lettering many
capitalists from making contracts for
contemplated new building enterprises
and other Improvements, by an appre-
| hensOn of delay and annoyancrS from
labor disturbances. 1t is safe to say that
the investment of millions of dollars,
which at the beginning of the season
were ready to be put into new business
and residence structures in various parts
of the city, was frightened into other
| channels on this account All kinds of
business dependent for a portion of their
prosperity upon the amount of building
which is being done feel the effect of
this, as well as do the workmen them.
selves.
The tone Of the above suggests alb
jcct submission of the workers as &
remedy for unemployment. But
even then there would be q glut il

might be more people employed fol

THE CAUSE OF CONSPIRACY.

Conspiracy is not conceivable, is
impossible, unless tyranny pre-exists.
The one is, in the nature of things,
but the natural sequence Of the
other. That the daily press refuses
to see this fact is evidence of the
class with which 1t atfiliates. No
paper in the slave States, where ru-
mors Of slave conspiracies frenzied
the people, dared ascribe their cause
to the tyranny that chattelized men.
No paper in the North, now sus-
tanned by advertisements from the
possessors of societary property, dare
show the source Of these troubles in
the tyranny that places man on the
level of the machine.
In a land where the ballot has
been won, where any rebellion in
society can be brought about by it,
that the dynamiter is al intrusion
goes without saying; but that he
should be found among us is evil
dence only that tyrant exists here,
and that some Of us as yet have not
been educated into the American
method Of suppresslng tyranny.
That, when judicial murder has
taken place; when men of much
more than average intelligence have
been condemned on the preposterous
charge that with a single bomb
when baskets full were alleged to be
in their reach-they initiated a re-
bellion, revengeful feeling should be
strong among such recent acquisi-
tons is probable enough. That the
conditions evolve it, that it grows
like mushrooms in old pastures, this
is the lesson the American voters
the men who, before monopoly gov
erned the land, ruled themselves, by
equal laws, and lived in tranquility
must learn; and by a greater JUS
tice only than we now enjoy the
force revolutions can be exiting

Some time we shall know how to
fully appreciate the services of the

with the official paper of the Inter-
national Typographical Union that:
1.-THE evidence in the c. b. & 9. dyna-

ertOns detectives were at the bottom of
the whole business. 1t will eventually
be proved what many now believe, that
a 'inkertOn threw the fatal bomb at the

ganized Labor will have done for the

act in union, and not allow one
