party was to adopt an honest meas urr, while Hill was to bear the blame for its final defeat by his Veto.
 Too thin. The collision is too evident. If there really was de- sire to make such q law as the Sax ton Election Reform Bill provided for, all the vetoes Hill might pro nonnce could not prevent it, for there IS no reason to let the matter drop that way. It is not enough to say the session is over.
 The republicans " in the Legis- lature naturally voted for the bill, but they would undoubtedly have voted against it if New York were solid "republican " State.
 From a capitalist point of view the Governor did quite right, and no doubt his reward will come before he goes to heaven. If only that DOT tlon of the workingmen of New York who are in the habit of voting with the old parties would take lesson from such facts, there would be some slight respect shown to the wishes of Organized Labor, even if it's members never cast a ballot for sham democracy and sham republicanism again.

To He Horkmen's 1Adrocate:

Will you please allow me to make few remarks to the note, "An Artist" in q recent issue of the WoRKMEN s AD- VOCATE.
 First of all, 1 would like to know since when were visitors not allowed to call at the Porter Stair Company's shop? As matter of fact scarcely day passes without our having some visitors at our shop. Now, 1t seems to me rather funny that union men want to make the shop, which up to now-so far as it goes may be called a "free shop" into a prison. The writer of the article has forgotten also that good many men working in this shop are non-union men, who do not care a bit whether the beer they drink is pool beer or not; on the contrary, they like pool beer, just like Hanson.
 Further, it is absolutely untrue that the fellow went up behind the "old man and struck him powerful blow. He first spoke to the "old man. and then they had q regular fight, when the "old man received not one. but two blows.
 l am union man, and don't like ras- Cals d id Hanson, who, by drinking pool beer and abusing union men, act against the interests of the workingmen; but at the same time l am sorry to see union men doing an injustice by saying things which are not true, only because Che other one is an " old man and fore man. 4 UNION MAN.

They must be peculiar Socialists who would go over to Boulanger.
 In fact, the Socialist Labor Party of France call have no use for them until they rise to higher level. No Socialist would follow 8 man of Bou- hangers calibre. His ideas can hardly be anything but b0urgeoiy, and his past indicates that he Is an adyenturer pure and simple.

 Democrats in the least, as our Parls comrades say they are prepared as Socialists now as ever to ,oppose Clcm"nccau. Kane and the radicals generally as politicians. It is only against the schemes of a military ad- yenturcr that they are combined"
 The anniversary of the downfall of the commune WAS celebrated last Sunday at the famous wall of Pere La Chaise cemetery. From the wall about .en thousand persons were addressed by a number of lead ing Socialists. All reference to the BoulangeriSt moyemement was re- celved with cries of Down with Boulanger . Down with Rochefort !" Speeches were also delivered from the tombs of D9lcscluze, Blanqui, Flonrens and Nalles. The people placed wreaths upon the graves of the martyrs before they dispersed.

New York "Democraey" Don't Want an Honest Vote and an
 Honest Count.

A bill providing for the Austra- Han system of voting, winch was passed by the New York State Leg islature was vetoed by "democratic" Governor Hill. There was alto- gether too much honesty m thls manner of voting to suit the " dem ocratic " party managers. It WAS too much of a check on bribery to accord with democratic" prin- cipleS.
 Of course, it would be foolish to charge Governor Hill with opposing the bill. He simply carried out a scheme, of which the votes cast by " democratic" members of the Leg islature were a part. The "dcmo- cratic" State Senators were stupid enough to vote against the bill. The interests at stake were large enough to sacrifice Hill over, the eyes of our noble democracy" for if the bill were made law, and the votes of the people were to be counted honestly and the incentive to sell votes removed, the democratic ;" party might as well shut up shop. And so, merely to blind some democratic" workingmen,th the mem bers of the Legislature, at least the democrats" voted for it to show how willing the democratic <"

TO PROTECT LABOR.
A Substitute Bill Against Convict
 Contract Work.

A friend has sent us the following bill from Washington, deeming 1t of interest to our readers:
 A BILL TO PREVENT CONVICT LABOR FROM
 COMPETING WITH ORGANIZED LABOR,
 AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
 V hereds, The private monopoly of about sixteen cents per day convict labor is a serious menace to free labor; and
 IIhereas, Convict labor rings in the several States are actually establishing a form of legalized slavery: and
 llitereus, Congress has power to pre- vent convict labor from competing with organized labor under that clause in the National Constitution which provides that Congress shall have power to pro- vide for the common defense and general welfare; therefore,
 Be H enacted by the .Sendte and House of Representatives. of the tHited StateS of 4Hteric0 iH Congress assembled, That all conVicts whatsoever within the iurisdic- tion of the United States of America shall be employed at such labor as they are best adapted to perform, and semi monthly they shall be paid the same rates of compensation as are paid to or ganized labor in the locality where the convict is confined: PrOrided, That the semi-monthly deductions for the per sonal expenses of said Convicts shall not exceed the average expense for similar maintenance outside of the penitentiary, and the residue of the earnings of each convict whatsoever shall be paid to the family or other dependents of sand con victs, and in the absence of such de- pendents the same shall be held in trust for said convicts until discharged, when it shall be paid to them: h0rided further, That no healthy convict whatsoever shall be required to work Lore than eight hours per working day: .lnd p1Oriied still further, That all unhealthy convic.s whatsoever shall be exempt from toil except when prescribed by physician who shall be selected by said convict and who shall not be employed by the management of said penltentiary: And lHocaded fndiy That the moral, intel lectuaI and physical weli-being of all COnWcts whatsoever shall be generously provided for.
 SEC. ?. That any violation of the pro visions of this act by any party or au- thority whatsoever, upon convection in any court in the United States of Amer ica, shall be punished by fine of not less than fifty dollars, nor more than five hvndred dollars, in addition to the cost of prosecution for each otfense
 SEC. 5. That the sum of one million dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be and Is hereby appropriated to enable the Secretary of the Depart ment of Labor to carry this act into effect.
 SEC, 1. That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act be, and are hereby, annulled, add this act shall take effect when approved.

WOULDN'T TRUST LIBERTY.
To the WorhmeR's Adrocate:.

To the ITorkmeR's Adrocdte:
 Oh what a feeling of rapture caD' over me as began reading the dialogue between Tucker and Fenno in the last number of Liberty. (Ego Tucker needs no introduction, Fenno is the fiend who came to collect the poll tax.) My thoughts went back to another age and to distant cline. 1 thought of John Hampden refusing to pay the ship tax. l had often asked myself, who will be the leader in 'his. the struggle of the fourth estate? Where is the man who will dare resist oppressionl l thought was answered. Here! here was the man who would risk all for Liberty And ohhough she slem him, stW mould he trust in her!
 But softly; as read further he takes the big iron dollar from his pocket and gives 1t to the minion.
 Oh ignominy! Instead of refusing to pay, he induIges in little billngsgate-- a favorite pastme with him. He pays and all is over. Our idol is but clay, and we must seek another leader. Is this what Ego anarchists call "passive resistance ?' If it is, it is certainly passive II. J. FRENCH.

A THREATENING CONSPIRACY
Stupendous scheme of Boss Brewers
 to Crush Labor Organizations.

The Central Vigilance Committee of New York have issued circular to all labor organizations in which they show the dangerous conspiracy of which the attitude of the pool brewers Is but the prelude. They quote the words of the president of the brewery proprietors' association at their convention at St. Paul, in which he declared that the Brewery Workmen's Union must be broken at all hazards In order that other manufacturers similarl y situated y may be encouraged to follow their (the bosses) example, so that any organization of thelr workmen may also be destroyed. The praC cal boycottlng by these mOnOpoilsts of such brewers who acknowledged the right of their employees to belong to a trades organization shows conclu- slVely that they mean war, and, as the circular says, propose a grand union with the monopolists in other trades in order to crush out, with one fell swoop, all labor organiza- tlons.
 Organized labor is, therefore, called upon to make the cause of the Brewery Workmen's Union thelr own, and unite in a systematic boy colt of the boss brewers pool.
 This is certainly the least that Organized Labor can do ir the premises.
