CRITlClZING SOCIALISTS.

CRITlClZlNG SOCIALISTS.
That Socialists and their theories
are fair game forcrltlclsm the Social
lists themselves would be the last to
deny, nor do they object to the most
rigid criticism; on the contrary they
court it. But Socialists and Social
Ism are subject to gross mlsrepro-
sentation besides. Even that they
expect from the very nature OF
things, for they know full well, and
their active opponents know, that to
understand and appreciate the So
cialist contention is paramount, with
honest folk, to passive if not active
endorsements.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
peradvcnturc that honest criticism is
most acceptable to Socialists, for
they offer exceptional opportunities for
the discussion of their principles,
and the poorest of them from pc
cuniary point of view willingly tax
themselves for the sake of making
their objects known, and melting
discussion.
And how are they met by the rep
resentatlvcs of the class whose pri-
vate and selfish interests lead them
to deny the Righteousness of the So
cialist propositions? BY brute force
BY appealing to their bravery and
tanntng them with cowardice if they
refuse to engage in II duel unarme!
Take, for instance, n recent account
of the dispensing of a multitude OF
Socialists who had assembled in
Trafalgar Square, London, for the
purpose of listening to discussion
Of poliIlca questions:
''rhree thousand Socialists assembled
in Trafalgar Square this afternoon with
the intention of holding meeting, but
being oveawed by the strong body of pc
licr on the ground they made no attempt
to organize or deliver speeches. and
finally ADJOURNED to the Thames fmhank
ment.
Such action on the part of the
boUrgeoM government of England is
pretty strong evidence of It's weak
ness, and the pleasure of saying that
the Socialists were Overawed adds
2est to the newspaper account OF a
cowardy act on the part Of the gov
eminent. If the Socialists were not
aware of the very patent fact that
the ruling class would like nothing
better than an opportunity with ever
so little show of legality of shooting
down the people, and if they were
not fully persuaded that resort to
force could not advance their cause,
they might be willing to show how
little they were "overawed."
One of the most peculiar criticisms
of Socialists that has come to our
notice is that by Professor Arthur II.
fladley, of Yale College, in the New
York independent of recent date.
He reviews Laurence Gronlund's new
book, "Danton in the French Revo.
luton" and finds it convenient to
say that Socialists ''mdge people by
their intentions and not by their re,
suits" How Mr.. Hadlcy can come
TO this conclusion would puzzle tn.

DIR. Griswold, author of "Wealth

in that work the conspiracy of the
exploiters. He shows how the sup

their task-masters, and how the laws
are even made to accommodate them
in their schemes.

STRANGI.E THE TRUSTS.
The general antipathy that has lately
been manifested against the nefarious
so-called trusts" has called forth several
bills from ambitious members of Con-

the systems of robbery in the trust" line
that are so rapidly increasing. The work
ings Of trust" that has been organized
for the purpose of crushing out competi-

any certain necessary of life and subse-
quently raising the price of the commod

ter than highway robbery. II the law

there is no doubt that in the near future
bill will be framed that will cover the
ground. Such a measure should become
law at the earliest moment possible.
The time to cry halt on the Trust" sys-
tenn Of thieving is at hand.
Organized Labor can view with
complaccncy the operation of
"trusts," and the above cry, though
printed in a so-called labor paper,
will be like music in the ears of those
who see beyond their noses.

The whiskey manufacturers have
formed trust They are already one
of the most dangerous monopolies we
have. Their influence is the most bane-
ful of any of the mighty wings of CAPT
talism. Amy man who, because he likes
his glass himself, will tolerate the rum
monopoly, must forever lay aside all
claim to being a reformer. The strongest
champion of the present regime, the
greatest barrier to progress, in the politi-
cal and social world, is the organized
rum monopoly. Don't exempt this devil
because you like to drink his BROTH
Providence People.
The monopolization of rum should
have a cheering effect on the prohi-
bltionists, some of the most rabid of
whom are, or think they are, in dan
ger Of becoming drunkards again
with rum shops on every corner.
But we don't see that The Pe0ple
would improve matters by destroying
the whiskey trust, for if a man
drinks a certain amount of whiskey
he is likely to become intoxicated
whether the whiskey is sold by q
monopoly or by the poorest and most
individualistic yender of the ardent.

A cable dispatch announced that
"Narious valuables which were pre-
sented to the pope rs jubilee offer
ings and which were on exhibition,
have been stolen from the Vatican.
Among the stolen articles are a chal-
ice valued at t22, 900, some gold snuff
boxes and several pairs of slippers. :"
AS the Pope could have no possible
use for such expensive Injuries, it is
to be presumed he will not feel the
loss. One chalice, one snuff box
and one pair of slippers, is all he
needs at present, and if they are
well made it is probable that they
will last him till he joins his eminent
predecessors One thing will strike
the reader as curious-that any one
should make the Pope present of
a snuff box. Imagine the Holy Sov-
ereign Pontiff taking a pinch of
snuff. 1t must be at such times that
American capitalist editors sneeze.

The Nopleman ana the sweep.

Father Ignatius, preaching in London,
told the following story: Not very long
ago a nobleman in elgravia, as he was
passing from his door to his carriage,
encountered a sweep who had been
sweeping his chimneys, and the sweep
had the courage to look up and say:
.'Have you the wealth Of Christ's sal
vationp' Two months later the noble-
man nal was dying, and he sent for this
sweep, and from him received the
knowledge Of God by the power Of the
Holy Ghost. The nobleman Wept for
JOY, and as he died fell asleep in the
ark Of the covenant, possessed Of the
unsearchable riches of Christ. This,
said Father Ignatius, was perfectly
true story, and he had related it as an
illustration because he wanted to bring
home to their hearts the poverty of the
world.
