tries, unite" had made rapid pro-
gress, when, all too soon, the war of
lo70-%l brought the catastrophe.
The defeat of the imperial armies at
Sedan overthrow the Napoleonic
throne, and for the third time the
Republic was proclaimed. The SUBJ
sequent warlike events apparently
left it an open question as to whether
the new French Republic should be
a middle-class or proletarian, indus
trial one. Certain it was that the
workingmen of the great industrial
centers were not inclined to deliver
the government over to the landlords
and greedy 6ourgeoisie, without Sc
curing to the working classes com
manding position within it, which
would pave the way for their event.
ual and absolute emancipation.
The landlords and the bourge0isle
certainly feared active and energetic
measures in this direction by the
working people, and this fear led to
the reactionary elections for the Ma
tional Congress in February, 1871,
which gave the enemies of the pro-
letariat courage to execute the per-
fdous trick against the Partisan
workmen and an industrial republic.
This consisted in the disarmament
of the Paris National Guard, whose
military power was feared above all.
The attempted carrying out of this
perlidious plan led to the events Of
the eighteenth of March and the
subsequent communal uprising.
The assertions made by opponents

of the subsequent weeks were the

are either deliberate libels or great
errors. Every real revolutionary act
of the Commune was due To the
watchful activity of the Central
Committee back of the Official Com
mune, and this Central Committee
was elected by the workingmen and
petit bourgeois of Paris, as far as they
were enrolled according to city divis-
ions in the National Guard. The
Central Committee was formed of
reputable artizans, intelligent and
honest. Had the Official Commune
been as well composed as the Central
Committee, many a mistake would
have been avoided; and had the real,
intelligent working class been more
represented in the leading body,
while it would not have been victor
ious, it could not have heaped error
upon error as it did. OF seventy
members only twenty-five were work
men; the rest were small tradesmen
who had sympathy for the cause,
but no adequate knowledge of the
labor question.
Malon and other clear-sighted So
cialists, saw and warned against the
untimely uprising, in vain The
brave working people were filled
with the glowing feryor of battle, so
intent upon doing their part, that
fate had to take its course. These
were the ones that won the first bat
tie for the Commune, and these were

il Is a reflection not uncoupca with sad
ness that the death Of a man Ike Mr. Bcecher

heritage that he leaves are his ideas, winch

This is name that, with seeming pro.
pricty, the Hebrews claim for themselves.
Ihirty-thrcc centuries ago this people, for
the Hebrews are not q nation now, was
formed. Since that time the Egyptians, the
Assyrinns, the Persians, the Greeks, and
the Romans, each Of whom In turn held the
Hebrews either In captivity or vassalags,
have passed away AMI are known only
through history, some of them only through
history preserved by the Hebrews.
And yet the descendants Of Abraham re
main distinct people, held together by
that seemingly m1i,soub!e bond OF the
promise that through them should come Il
divine message to man. Prosecuted through
centuries by Christians aud Mohammcllns
alike, tortured, imprisoned, robbed, they
have remained a distinct people. But
stronger than this is the fact that, in the
United States, where there Is no persecution,
where they enjoy all the privileges that be.

scmi-barbaiiuns, under the rule Of empcrors
or czars Of constitutional monarchs or re-
publics, it lives and ilOurishcs, retaining all
its characteristic features both Of mind aud

Hebrew blood with that of any other race.
With genealogical tree that can be traced
back over three thousand years, the lie

pigmy mobiles of Europe, and keeps his

Foreign Convict Labor to Compete
WIN That of American Ercelnem.

While the first paragraph of the Mills
tafl bill was under debate on Friday Mr..
Buchanan, Republican from New jersey,
offered an amendment TO these lines: THAT
on and after the lst day Of July, 1855, the
following articles mentioned in this section.
, when imported, shall be exempt from duty"
The amendment was TO follOw the figures
"lssS,' and read as follows:
No goods manufactured or produced wholly
OF in part by prison labor, or which have been
made within or in connection with any prison,
Jail, penitentiary, or other penal or reforma-
tory institution, shall he imported into the
United states Of America, under penalty of
S2cO for each invoice so imported and the
forfeiture and destruction Of the said goods
and of the packages in which they are con
tained and 1t is further enacted that
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, was in the chair
and Mr.. Mills, the Democratic leader of the
House, made the point of order that 1t was
not germane to the paragraph to attempt to
prevent the results of convict labor from
competing with that Of American freemcn
Mr.. Springer sustained Mr.. Mills. Mr.. Buch-
anan, Mr.. Reed Mr.. Long, Mr.. Burrows,
and Mr.. Cannon, all Republicans, con
tended that the amendment was a proper
one. The Democrats all sustained the
ruling of Mr. Springer and thus voted to
admit conyict-madc goods free of duty.
But Mr.. Buchanan offered hisamendment
in different form, and Mr.. Springcrruled that
II was gcrmane. The new amendment was to
add the following words 20 the ones quoted
above from the bill ''When not manufac-
turod or produced, wholly or in part, by
prison labor, or made within or in connec,,
tion with any prison, jail, penitentiary, or
other penal or reformatory institution"
If this amendment had been adopted the
clause would'have read THAT on aud after
