in fine condition this spring, and is faster
than ever before in his life at this season of

has sired two colts that have, it is believed,
already shown capacity to beat 2.30 when
given the opportunity. Volunteer, the sire
of race horses, George Wilkes, the prolific,
and our own General Knox, were all seven
teen years of age when their get first per-
formed in 2.30 Not one of these great horses
showed greater trotting capacity, it is
said, nor was one of them better bred than
Glenarm. No horse of such breeding and
individual merit can fail to be success.

The fight between the Senate and House
on voting subsidy to American steamers
carrying the South and Central American
mails will be nenewed this session. The
House has steadily refused to agree to the
amendment proposed by the Senate, and so
far during the present administration the
House has had its way. Senator Frye has
introduced rider" to the post Office appro-

American mail steamers, and the struggle

GERMANY.

The Socialists of Bavaria decided
last month to found a weekly organ,
to be printed either in London or
Zurich.
The Berlin police have confscated
10000 copies Of Social democratic
manifesto to the electors in support
of Llebknecht's candidature.
Two Social-Democrats have been
arrested at Cassel under the Anti
Socialist Law, charged with having
distributed large quantity of Social
Democratic literature at Bresau, En-
furth and Cassel.
A Socialist meeting which was to
have been held at Hamburg has
been prohibited by the police au-
thorltles. A meeting OF protestation
is announced to take place at Altoona,
which will most likely share the
same fate.
In addressing the electors of the
Sixth Division of Berlin recently,
for which he is standing as a Social
Democratic candidate for the Reichs-
tag, l4iebknecht said that for more
than ten years Berlin has been the
capital of German Social-Democracy.
In alluding to the struggles they
had had with the Government he
urged that if the working classes
wished to gain their rights they
must have the necessary force be-
haad them. Without that force
they would get none of their rights.

CHICAGO.
The Independent" Enquirer Sue.
Cumbs TO the Inevitable.

1t was TO be assumed that the "dem0-
cratic managers would have sustained
the Ldbn' EHquirey until after election;
but the result Of its advocacy of demo
cratic candidates lost il its influence,
and that being gone the "demoCratic'
politicians had no use for it, and so it
succumbed to the inevitable. The radi-
Gals have learned another lesson, and a
valuable one, namely, that the private
ownership OF a newspaper doe not ad-
NIT of control by those whom it pre-
tends to represent. You can't put col
lar on the editor unless you can pad it
well, and when the padding is gone your
dog is gone tOO-On the search for
another properly conditioned collar. In
short, the afflicted Labor Enyuirey' is
dead.
In an article published in the Chicago
Mai it was reported that Mr. Joseph Il.
Buchanan, editor and ''proprietor' of
the defunct Enquirer, had not been en-
PEELED from the Socialist Section, which
he became member Of before his deser-
ton to the "democratic" lines. He told
a reporter that it took him Just thirty
minutes to vanquish those who had
made charges against him, saying that
one Of the members, who has long been
known as staunch Socialist, "slunk into
a corner like a whipped cur. But the
next day the same paper published a
letter from a gentleman who witnessed
the affair, in which he said:
:" was at the meeting called to eXpel
Buchanan, and in the thirty minutes re-
terred to in the article, he buchanan
made such a pitiable tale in favor of
Buchanan-of what he had done and
would in future do for the cause of hu-
manity; what time and talent he had de-
voted; what money he had sunk; the
sleepless nights; the debts incurred; the
sick wife and child, and SO on-in fact,
he made such a pitiabIe tale for Bu-
chanan that in sympathy for the mans
distress we refused to vote against him,
but we nevertheless believe him guilty
of the charge brought against him"
Buchanan's braggadocio, however,
caused the members of the Section to re-
gret their leniency, and at a subsequent
meeting he was peremptorily expelled
by a unanimous vote.
These happenings are, Of course,
deeply regretted by all sincere men in
the labor movement, but they point so
clearly to the necessity for strict ac-
countabillty and discipline that these
experiences will not be for nothing. and
the results may after all compensate for
the trouble.

SWEDEN.

The persecution of active Social
Democrats seems to be the order of
the day in Sweden. August Palm,
who had been undergoing three
months imprisonment, was released
on July 30, and on coming out Of
prison he was received by large
number Of friends, whom he ad-
dressed. He was at once rearrcsted
by the police for misdemcanor and
fined. Seven other arrests were
made.
Axel DanicIson, editor of the So
cialist journal, .1rbeief, of Malmo,
has been condemned to eight
months imprisonment for articles
appearing in the paper which have
been written by him. A great
demonstration has been held at
Malmo to protest against the i'm
prlsonment Of DanieIson, and de-
mand the right of free speech and
the liberty of the press.

ECONOMY AND WASTE.


To the U'orkmen's Adcocate
1t is the evident intent of nature in
creating mankind and placing the re-
sources of nature at his command, that
he should be happy; but are we, and if
not, why?
1t seems that where the natural re-
sources are so bountifully supplied that
all should have enough to supply every
reasonable want; but alas! some have
more than by any possibility they can
ENJOY, While the great majority have not
enough to supply the real necessities of
lIie. What are we dong to increase the
happiness Of the world? We are ALL
both rich and poor, trying to provide
the means to make ourselves and those
Immediately dependent upon us com
Portable and happy, giving no thought
to the many that by no possibility can
accomplish this result, nourishing q
spirit of seliishneSs in our own hearts,
and teaching the very essence of selfish
ness to our children, as we must neces-
sarlly do If we expect them to survive
under our competitive system. Let
every one question his own heart as to
how much he cares about the rest of
humanity if only he and his are well
provided for, comfortable and happy.
Don't we enjoy it the better that the
many are unproyided for and miserable?
Doesn't the contrast give us II keener
enjoyment Of our own comforts?
Let lis consider how easy it would be
for all to be amply provided with all the
necessaries of life and happiness if we
would apply our efforts for the good of
all as asSiduOusly as we do for the graft
tlcation of our selfish enioyments.
Think what terrible waste it is to al
low such an army of unemployed to re-
main III ldleness for the want of oppOr-
tmity to create more wealth! Think of
the amount Of wealth million or more
Of idle people in this country could pro-
duce every day if they had the oppor-
tunlty, and the benetcent effect it
would have on the community. 1t is a
burning shame that in this country, with
unlimited natural resources, any one
able to work should be compelled to re-
main in idleness and consequent pow
erty. Let the opportunity for the en-
ployment of all be provided in the
interest of all. HORACE.
We've thought of it. comrade, and
that's why we are Socialists. We want
others to think of it, and that's why we
agltate, Oh, its worth all the effort
that's i'll man to spread the light of So

WHY DO MEN VOTE ?

Why did farmers and mechanics
vote for Cleveland four years ago ?
Did they do so because they were
dissatisfied with a republican admin
istration? We should like one Of
these voters to tell us what different
Blaine would have done than Cleve-
land, except III putting democratic
partlsans into the offices held before
by republican partisans? His ad-
minstration has been wholly con-
trolled by men who rob labor Of its
hard-earned wealth, and Blaine's
would have been the same had he
been elected. 1t was the republican
fiscal policy that the people found
fault with, and the democrats prom
ised to change it for the benefit of
the people, if only just once put in
power.
How have they kept faith: They
openly boast that they have adhered
to the republican policy, and that
was to let the bankers have every
thing their own way. The price Of
labor has steadily fallen and The
price Of bonds has steadily risen, and
the voters seem to think they are
benefited. The republican policy
made full almshouses and jaiIs, aud
made the arlstocracy glad; the
democratic policy is like unto it, and
1t makes the aristocracy glad. You
voted in both instances for the one
policy when you supposed you were
voting for opposites. Now you must
know it, for the demonstration is
before you.
You can repeat the folly this fall;
but if you do you deserve the curses
of your children and the execration
of the robbed and suffering whose

flesh and blood. There is no escap-
ing this position.
Yet what is the actual case.
While the law sanctions from nine
to ten per cent, usury on capital in
the form of money, and puts moth
ing in the way of securing twenty,
nifty or one hundred per cent,
Labor has no means of enforcing
even two per cent, and must needs
crouch and cringe, and be grateful
that it has the bare privilege to live.
If You conld get the average earn
lngs of capitalists in these hundred
cities where Labor gets two per cent.
1t would probably average from ten
to fifteen per cent. And all this is
secured to the capitalists by law. 1t
is made possible by grants, subsidies
and franchises paid out of the toll of
the working classes.
Who, having eyes to see, will not
admit the injustice of this discrimi-
nation against one prescribed form
of capital, known as the body of a
laboring man? Is it not positive,
and Intentional arrangement to en-
slave the masses? II y -Cana-
