AUGUST II, 1SSS.

This is the date upon which the United
German Trades Unions will hold their
grand picnic at Weiskopfs Phoenix Park
This representative organization is based
upon advanced ideas and its object, the
advancement of the lapor press, shows
that its members have a clear idea of the
best means of permanent agitation. They
are also jolly folks, and their picnic will
be one of those affairs that linger in the
memory. The 18th Of August comes on
a Saturday, and that will give those who
enjoy half holiday on the last day of
the week to add to their enjoyment and
at the same time assist in an excellent
work, very important to labOring people.
Let there be large attendance.

ct me tell you how | write mean
letters and bitter editorials, my boy.
Sometimes, when a man has pitched

torial that is to do the business. write
something that will drive sleep from his
eyes and peace from his soul for six
weeks. Oh, | do hold him over slow
fire and roast him, Gall and aQua-fort

Next day | look at it, The ink is cold;

NEW YORK NOTES.

j. Edward Hall has been doing good
work, Notwithstanding his invalid con-
dition, in spreading the sales of "Look-
ing Backward
A special meeting of the American
Section, S. l.. F., to be held next Mon
day evening, will consider the new plan
of organization, the agitation meetings,
the establishment Of a quorum, and aid
for a worthy comrade who is disabled.
The pretty parks on either side Of Sec
ond avenue between Fifteenth and Sew
enteenth streets, known as Stuyvesant
square parks, are locked up at shutdown
because the aristocratic people of the
neighbOrhOOd don't want the working
people to congregate there. During the
day these "nuisances are busy at
work, and so the gates are open to the
"public;" but in the evening, when the
"poor folks" could enjoy the littie oasis
of green, it is denied them by the au-
thorities, under the direction of the
heartless rich, who would deny to the
poor that of which they rob others and Sc
cure for themselves.
The speaker announced for last Sunday
evening at the Eighth street meeting,
Mr.. Thomas ORelly, did not make his
appearance; but the audience lost moth
ing, for Mr.. Charles Sotheran stepped
into the breach and scathingly reviewed
Pentecost's sermon Of the morning,
in which that evoluted preacher :"
made a cunning propaganda for the
democratic party. Mr.. Sotheran said
his action Was almost criminal in view of
the ignoring of the labor bills at Albany
last week by both parties. Mr.. Pente-
cost was recreant to his former protes-
tations, and had departed from his pro-
fessed principles. Several followers of
the extinguished George expressed them
selves as highly pleased with Pentecost,s
funk. The democratic" party is well
come to all whose ''principles lead
them into its ranks with their nostrils
protected.

THREADING UPON BREAD.
BY AMELIA HYDE,

In a simple Morse legend the story is
told
Of vain little maiden, in times that
were old,
Who to cross a morass, did not scruple
to use
Her sick grandmothers bread, just to
save her new shoes.
And she sank. and she sank, to the homes
of the dead,
But still in her sinking she heard from
oerhead
The voices of soothing that evermore
said,
How wicked the maiden who trod upon
bread"
In this epoch does Greed most triumph
antly stride
With Craft for his counsel, fore r at his
side,
Combining for "trusts" and for cor
nerS" and "pools,'
With the strong for projectors the weak
for the tools,
With hand joined in hand and with head
pressed to head,
To their shame and confusion of face be
it said,
For a short road to wealth, care and
labor instead,
They are wickedy making whole cause
ways Of bread

AMONG THE TRADES PAPERS.

1t is safe to say that there are more
trades journals in this country than we
know of. 1t is a great country, and
there are perhaps many trades papers
which don't come our way. Before us
are few of them, which it might be in
teresting to look over with our readers.
The Bakers Journal, official organ in
the English language of the Journeymen
Bakers National Union, has just made
its appearance. 1t is published by Mr..
j. p. Mcdonnell, of Paterson, n. j., and
while it is the property of the publisher
it will be under the control of the Ma
tiOnal Executive Board, who assume
part of the financial responsibility. Now
that the bakers have voted to have such
journal, it behooves them to contrib
ute all they can toward its success. If
it becomes the equal Of the Buecker ZeH-
lnlg the German organ of the craft, it
will do we'll
The Painter is the official organ of the
Brotherhood of Painters and Decorat tors
of America, and is published at Balti-
more by T. J. Elliott. The Painter is a
credit to the Brotherhood, and demon
strates that the craft can WELD the pen
besides the brush. Mr.. Elliott is he
Secretary of the Brotherhood.
Progress, the official organ of the Tail
Ors' Progressive Union Of America, is
more than mere trades paper, though
that only adds to its value as a defender
of the tailors-even those who are mere
laborers in the tailoring trade, which
has become a divided one, in accordance
with the modern idea of production.
ProgreSsis a high-class trade journal, and
is printed in English and German. 1t is
the property of the Union, whose Secre-
tary is Frank Cater, at 2O4 Avenue B,
New York.
Among the better known papers is the
CrGftsmaa the official journal of the
international Typographical Union. 1t
is owned and published in Washington,
D. c., by Messrs. Ramsey anu Bisbee,
and has been selected from year to year
by the !. 7. L. convention as the official
paper. The Craftsman is large sheet,
and is prodigal of the news of the trade,
while at the same time it considers the
labor question from a conservative
standpoint, a clean, well written
paper, which, while conservative in tone,
still displays such intelligence and com,

" EVOLUTION or THE STATE

The agitation meeting at the Labor
Lyceum last Friday evening was rather
sliml Y attended, but tho,e who did at
tend heard one of the best lectures Of
the season. The lecture was written by
J. Edward Hall, and the subject was
The Evolution Of the State and was
read from the original manuscript by
Mrs. |. b. Hinton. The most striking,
almost startling fact eXpounded was that
the State has for ages organized vast
numbers Of its citizens into immense CO.
operative organizations, reaping the
benefit of a most systematic division of
labor and the utility Of the most perfect
and efficient machinery, for the sole
purpose of wholesale slaughter and de-
struCtion, viz, the army and navy. This
power has reached that degree where
a modern war means an almost total an
initiation of contending nations. Social
ism teaches that the same highly success
full scientific system should be used for
the purpose of construction instead Of
destruction, production instead of deyas-
tation and ruin. Socialism is pre-emi-
nently the gospel of peace.
The lecture in full will he published in
the WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE, for it will be
one of the best weapons ever placed in
the hands Of active Socialists,
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-07-28
DON'T ACT FOOLISHLi.

The Central Labor Union would act
more dignilied as a body if it took no
notice of Hewitt's ScabicS. Hewitt is
only one capitalist, and if the others
don't do as he did it is not because they
don't want to, but because they haven't
the sand, or are more discreet. There
fore, gentleman of the Central Labor
Union, don't act foolishly. Act accord
ing to your platform.

"HONORABLY DISCHARGED p

ALI, mock not the wrinked visage, the look OF
weary care
For thousand dread privations have their story
written there;
Age hath bent the towering stature and the weary
head bows low,
Holding up before the sunshine, scattered threads OF
glistening snow.
Thus along ifes weary journey still he leads his tot
tering way
Drawing nearer to deaths camping ground with
each succeeding day;
Not unknown are passing peasures-not unfelt joy
GUS dream
Flowers are springfng by the Margin as he Yanders
down the stream;
Songs of birds, in Joyful tumult, echo through the
tempest blast,
Laughter pours a merry medley DER the sorrows of
the past
But one sound is sweetly floating, as the moments
swiftly fly
Sound that falls like gentle message spirit in
the sky;
'Tis the prattling voice of childhood lsping forth
varied song,
That awakes noble impulse in that old heart, true
and strong:
''Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again.
Then there comes a rumbling carriage, Gathering
DER the stony wav,
Like the shadows of December the sunny hours of
May;
veteran still,
AS he dreams the prattling music coming from the
Holy Hill
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom"
Then the old eyes glistened brighter, and about the
dropping head
Not the squaor the pauper-but cheerful light is
shed.
Then he hears the pleasing story that is borne upon
the breeze:
"'Twas your heroic suffering that gave joys like
these"
Still once more the childish music falls upon the
ger ear
And the veteran, in his rapture feels trusty friend
is near
'.And the star-spangled banner
In triumph shall wave-''
Yes, he the banners waving and he reads
the sky
Tis the Captain of Salvation, now in glory passing
by"
Then the awful of battle RACES round the whit
ened head,
Now he hears the wounded groaning-now beholds
the ghastly dead
Fierce and long the conflict RACES homes broken,
hearts are torn,
While thousand awful dangers the angry wind
is borne,
But the end is drawing nearer, now the clouds
rent apart,
And angel voice speaks quiet TO the wildly
bing heart;
Far beyond the fading horror, tits the Great Com
mander calls
Death unsheaths his shining bayonet-the tottering
hero falls;
Then along the hills and valleys loudly rings an an
Let the last tattoo be sounded-here's hero mus
tered outt',
