SYMPATHY FROM A PARASITE.

loathsome but eminently kingly

societies composed of poor fools

OF parasite said, in the words OF
a Berlin dispatch, that the educa-
ton OF woman, the sanitary con-
dition OF the laboring classes, and
the improvement OF the facilities
by which woman may earn live

her. The noblest vocation of a
princess, she says, is an untiring
activity in the work of ameliorat-
ing the suffering of the laboring
classes.
Well. we'll. The idea of the
she parasite, ycleped empress OF
Germany, condescending to ac-
knowledge that she knew or cared

classes or about seeking toame-

kingly. brutal spirit is the same in
all the royal parasites hearts has
often been demonstrated before
and since Louis and Marie's time
and that Victoria of Germany is
'mbued with ain honest feeling for
her hungry subjects is beyond all

THE LESSON LEARNED.

engineers is having the desired
effect in teaching them. and the
brotherhood of hrcmen as well,
that it is very foolish for them to
indulge in the idea or hope that
they can secure their rights
against the combined power of
the railroads without joining in
with other labor organizations.
The needed lesson has been
well learned. The engineers and
hremen only needed a defeat to
demonstrate their inability to
stand alone. There are already
admissions made by them to the
effect that the Arthur policy of
mo alliance with other organiza-
tions" is wrongin policy as well
as principle.
The April number of the Fire
mems .Nagasine, official organ of
the hremens brotherhood, con-
tains an article entitled Fedora
ton, the Lesson Of the Strike"
The following will show that
the hremen, at least, acknowledge
unreservedly that they have
learned the lesson
The lesson of it ALL" says the
Magazine, rs this: If corporations
and the press confederate to over
whelm the workingmen when they
demand redress for grievance,
they, too, must tfdeyan to force
their rights which the corpora
tions deny them
Eugene Debs, the editor of the
magazine, has always. heretofore,
been bitterly antagonistic to the
X. of L. or federation idea. He
would still be antagonistic to it
had the engineers and hremen
won the strike. Therefore the
loss of the strike is very fortunate
for organized labor.
Mr.. Debs now sees his error
and the article on the strike ar
CUES in favor of 4 federation of
switchmen, 6remen and brakemen,
to act on the principle that the
interest of one is the interest of
all"
The Enquirer feels like saying
81 told you so" but will refrain
from giving itself any great credit
for ability to foretell results, so
easy Of anticipation. 1t, however,
feels justified in asking the gen
tlemen of the labor press, who
saw nothing but evil to follow the
loss of the strike, if they imagine
for an instant that Mr.. Debs would
be at this time writing any articles
in advocacy of federation" or in
defense of the idea that the in
terest of one is the concern of
ALL had the engineers and fremen
won the strike?
The comments Of the capitalist
press on the article in the maga-
zine of the hremen are full of
significance. One places the head
line "A powerful combination to
be formed over the article from
the .Nagasmf. Another says the
proposed combination WILDE dan
gerously strong" Another:-"A
big combine to rule the rail;
stormy times ahead for railroads
if the proposed plan is carried
out etc
The result of the strike is such
as to crafty all who desire that
all workers come together and
stand solidly on the principle that
10 unity alone is their strength.

system Of production and distri-
button in place of our present
competitive system. In her adj
dress she elaborated the following
points: s..
That poverty. distress and woe:
always accompany natural pros
|perity:
That as labor produces all, it is
entitled to the whole product:
That competition and monopoly
are evils to all grades of society:
That class rule, and the suprem-
acy resulting therefrom, originated
in ignoring the natural rights of
man:
That the apologists Of the pres
ent order of things offer all man

ing by such a policy to draw the
attention of the wage-w worker from
the prime cause. and thereby per
NIT our masters to hold the bal
ance of power while longer:
That the inalienable rights of
man are such in name only, a
shadow not substance:
That the old chestnuts of econ
omy," "sobriety." industry" ect..
are losing their power with masses,
and that an era of thought and
investigation is dawning in short
that the Age of Reason, to which
Paine looked forward with such
confidence, has already begun to
Eshed its rays upon the ignorance
and superstition of the masses:
That the ideal of civilization
cannot be realized until perfect
liberty and equality shall have
been attained, both of which are
now impossible by reason of our
environments:
Thatpersecution, chattel slavery
and martyrdom together with the
social, political, religion and eco
nomic burdens that oppress man
kind all have a mission that of
arousing thought and action on
the part of the unfortunates who
suffer most from such causes:
That, finally, a time must come
when mans dominion over man
shall cease, when oppression and
tyranny, poverty and sorrow, want
and suffering shall no longer exist,
and the whole human race shall
become one great brotherhood
whose only law shall be the Col
den Rule.
| At the conclusion of the ad-
dress the strains of the Marseil-
! laise aroused to a still higher pitch
the enthusiasm produced by the
speaker.
Miss Belle Cheesewright then
entertained the audience with a
sentimental ballad which was we'll

THE ENTERTAINMENT.
Songs, Speeches Tableaux, Dancing
and General JOllifIcatiOn.

On Saturday evening last, the
Independent Socialist Club and
Rocky Mountain Social League
gave another of their Joint
public entertainments at west
Turner hall to an interested and
appreciative audience. The OBJ.
ject of the entertainment was two
fold: to propagate the doctrines
OF industrial and social reform,
and raise funds to assist en-
barrassed and prosecuted friends
of the cause of humanity.
AT an early hour the audience
began to assemble, many of their
number wearing handsome red
badges emblamatic of the inter
national character of the cause of
labor. AT the right of the plat
form was a magnificent group
picture, elegantly framed, of the
Chicago heroes and martyrs. On
the left LaSalle's portrait occu-
pied a conspicuous position. The
presence of these works of art in
agitation meetings serves to recall
vividly to mind the thrilling
scenes in which their originals
figured at the same time infusing
new vigor into the emancipation
movement.
The order of exercises had been
so judiciously arranged and all
participants in the program were
SO well drilled in their respective
parts that no delay occurred during
the entire rendition. Promptly at
the appointed hour the exercises
opened. This. it was quite
evident, was fully appreciated by
the audience.
First on the program came an
overture by the orchestra, after
which Comrade Arthur Cheese
wright rendered his latest original
song, Marching On" which ap-
peared in a recent issue of the

HOLY WAR IN AFRICA.
Natives Rise Up Against the Europeans

Natives Rise up Against the Europeans
and Cause Them to Flee for Life.
LONDON, Oct 2.-Dispatches from Fan
zibar report the rising of the natives along
the coast against Europeans in general and
is spreading into the interior. Something
like holy war has been declared by the
blacks, instigated by Mohammednn slave
traders and provoked by the harsh
measures of the Germans on taking
possession Of the coast territory handed
over to them by the Sultan of Zanzibar.
Germans and Englishmen alike are
obliged to flee for their lives. All whites,
even settlers who have long lived in friend
ship with natives, are expelled. The routes
into the interior followed by Livingston and
Stanley are closed. There is no hope that
Stanley can be heard from by way of Zanzi-
bar Posts along coasts were surrounded
by thousands of natives mad with fanati-
cism.
The Germans at Lindi were saved by the
brave conduct Of Capt. Curzon and Lieut..
Walter, who landed from a British gunboat,
although the beach was lined with hostile
rebels, and brought them off safely. In a
moments more the Germans would have had
to give up and would have been massacred,
as were those of Kilva, in sight of a German
man of war;

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL,
THE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE
CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL.
He Also Recommends Additional Legis-
Acknowledgment in Congress-var
GUS Washington Matters.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The President has
sent to the House and Senate message an
nouncing his approval of the Chinese exclu-
sion bill, but urging additional legislation
to pay the indemnity fund provided in the
treaty; also, that additional legislation be
enacted to omit from the provisions of the
exclusion bill those en- route here from
China holding certificates issued to them on
their departure.
The message reviews the relations of the
United States and China in past years. and
says the Chinese government proposed the
treaty which provided for the total exclu-
sion Of Chinese lahorers, as sent to the Sen
ate and amended by that BODY. The treaty
was rejected because of amendments of the
Senate excluding those holding return GER
tifcates He recommends that an act be
passed permitting the return of those hold
ing certificates who2had embarked for their
return before the passage of the exclusion
bill, also the payment in full of the indem-
nifty fund provided in the treaty
The message was very lengthy and occu-
pied full half hour in the reading.
