A FOREIGN INVASION.

The Jesuit Father, F. T. Mccarthy,
in late lecture on " Education,' deiv-
cred at the Church Of our Lady of Per
petual Help in Boston, said; "When the
State steps in and assumes the role of
school-teacher, then there is the inva-
sion of the individual right, the invasion
of the domestic rights, the invasion of
the rights of the church. and the inva-
sion of divine rights. There is no CIR
cumstance under which the State is al
lowed to teach. 1t the public school is
subversive of the rights Of the individ-
ual, subveraivc of the rights of the fam
lily, subVersive of the rights of religion,
subversive of the Divine rights of God
Himself 1t the public school system of
America is a national fraud. - Truth
Seeker.
There seems to be no necessity for
commenting upon the above. 1t
will be well for the Americans land
we mean home and foreign born), to
consider whether it would not be
well to make the State more power
full by making all the people directly
active in the administration, accord
ing to their ability, A study of
Socialism suggests defense against
ecclesiastical intrigue which would
be perpetual. But this should be
done before it is too late-before the
people are corrupted.

open question, the desirability Of
having enormous memberships in
Each body. A large number Of
small and well disciplined organza-
tons, agreeing upon general prlnCl-
pies, can also arrive at an agreement
on tactics whore they are all con-
cerned, by joint committees; and
questions can be more thoroughly
discussed in smaller bodies where all
can take part in the debates. This
IS the educational department Of
our moyement-thc discussion Of
the various phases of the labor ques-
ton, Anything that stands in the
way Of the educational development
Of the people is Il serious bar to
progress, and in our opinion large
and unwieldy membership in one
body does prevent the development
Of sound and healthy IDEAS upon the
labor question; and without advocat
ing unlimited prodigality in the use
Of our limited funds, we think that
the increased cost Of maintaining a
large number of proportionately
small bodies would be more than
compensated for in the improvement
Of the organizations and the indiyid.
ais composing them.
Let it be ever borne in mind that
the educational idea must under no
circumstances be neglected in the
workmcn's organizations, for organi-
zation without education is labor
thrown away.

OUTFLANkING SOCIALISM. "

In a sermon by the Rev. IIeber
Newton, preached in New York on
"Tho Dangers Before the Rcpub-
he he rightly said, "Our danger
lies in the disparity of fortunes
* y Either the growth of ex-
cesssive wealth will give a power
that will enslave the poor, Or the re-
volt of poverty will threaten the IN
situations under which political
freedom fails to bring about eco
nomic emancipation" The rem
edy, he said, was to do away with
legitimate causes of discomfort and
Out7aah socialism, which perhaps
means that we 90 little farther in
the same direction than socialism
itself. lie said, ave must bring to
an end all Legislative partialties, all
fav0rltism Of the State, all legal In
justices, all statutory denials to the
rights of man to man to the common
provision for his needs which the
heavenly Father has made" This
may be the Reverend Doctors idea
Of outhanking socialism," but ac-
cording to many versed in the Silence
Of political economy this is socialism
pure and simple, and which, coming
from the lips of any prominent La
Dor reformer, would be yehcmently
denounced.
What a pity that a good many
more good ministers of the gospel
were not proclaiming sentiments ike
unto these Of the Rev. Mr.. Newton,
even were they mistaken as to the
particular school of economy into
which they should be classified, -

The traitors to labor's cause, no
matter how high their former stand
ing, should be relegated into the OBJ
security from which, through bluff
and bluster, they have emerged, and
he is a poor Socialist indeed who al
lows himself to be even temporarily
turned from the straight path which
science has demonstrated is the one
leading to victory. What Socialists
should do is, agitate the principles
Of Social Democracy now az III the
past, in the future as now, not seek
ing unholy alliances, nor stepping
aside to aid car moving backward.

Temple Square, on which no
value is placed, covers ten acres in
the heart of Salt Lake City, holding
the Tabernacle, the Assembly City
Hall, and the great granite Temple,
with foundations sixteen feet thick
and walls ninety feet high, which,
though unfinished, has cost 81, $780,
900 to date.
We trust that when Receiver
Dyer gets through confiscating the
church property of the Mormons he
will take hold of the church prop
erty of the Protestants and the
Catholics. He has the same right
to confscate the property of one sect
as of the other. But he won't do
it.
And now that Congress has set the
legislative example, let us hope that
the State governments will profit by
it. Let all States confscate all
property in excess of $4,000 Of all
sects. Let's take the church farms
and stock, steal the fruits Of their
garden, gather in their stocks and
bonds and cash, and sell their real
estate under the auctioneer' hammer.
Probably q hundred millions could
be realized in this way in this city
and county alone, making the paltry
three or four millions garnered in
Salt Lake City look small
Why not: If it is right ill Utah
it is right IN New York. Precisely
the same reason exists for such con-
fiscation, and shall the Christians

CONSIDERABLE DOG IN IT..

CONSIDERABLE DOG IN IT.
The young German Emperor VIII
lam has returned home after his
visit to Russia, Sweden and Den
mark. He and the Gar kissed each
other very affectionately when they
met, and the people shouted with
JOY to see royalty IN fraternal en-
brace. Everywhere the people are
ready to shout and cringe and fawn
when their royal rulers and heredi-
tary oppressors appear. And the
more they are plundered and OPP
pressed and the deeper their degra-
dation the louder they will shout
and the lower they will cringe and
the more abject their unreasoning
servility. Poor human nature. There
is 50 much Of the canine in It's make
up. So many men, who are slaves
by instinct. Even here in this
boasted land Of equality see how the
partsans shout for the party ma
chine that has been robbing them,
and almost defy the party leaders,
the most prominent agents in effect
ing that robbery. In Northern Eu-
rope popular worship of an imperial
despot or in North America partisan
idolatry Of party boss, it is the
same slavish instinct, the same dis
gushing spectacle. Southeast.

EDUCATION AND ORGANlZA-
TON.

While organization Is progressing
at al astounding rate among the
workers, their education is q matter
Of slower growth, and needs more
fostering care. Simply to organize,
to band together, Is not enough, nor
is it enough that we flock in great
numbers for the vague object Of bet
tcring our condition, A knowledge
Of the reason why, in the first place,
there is labor question at all, is
needed by thousands of the work
men who are proud of the fact that
they art organized. And the alb
scnce Of that knowledge is apparent
when we consider that the tactics OBJ
served in many Of our organizations
are patterned as near as may be after
those of the ruling class Too much
weight is placed upon personality,
while principle ls therefore forced in
the background. The mention of
name in much of our labor litera-
ture of the periodical sort is made to
carry with it certain IDEAS, precisely
as in our capitaIIstic press the politi-
cal news of the day is q colslomora-
ton Of names with a tilament Of I'M
meaning words to connect them. 1t
is the very essence of indiyiduallsm
ard competition that is still pre-
dominant in the minds of our peo-
pie. The opposite extreme of max
ing individuals mere utilities could
hardly be worse. In our societies
there is II desire for official dignity
manifested that is often disgusting.
Let us be honest with ourselves
and submit to just criticism within
our ranks, thereby arriving at Il rea-
son for what may become a fatal
weakness.
Is it not possible that the systems
we work under may be such as pro-
mote this indiyIdualistic mania
which stands IN the way Of progress
The homage paid to the individual
who has power creates a deSUe for
power in the individual, and as a
consequence there is a competition
among the ambitious to exert power
over others. This is destructive of
that feeling Of interdependence and
solidarity which is the very founda-
ton of good organization. There
fore We must devise q system by
which the porer to direct lies with
the organization rs a whole, ana the
men who execute the will of the
many must be subject to constant
supervision by the organization. Ere
quent reports OF their acts should be
had and an interest in their proceed
ings manifested by the members.
To this end the members Of the or
ganization must attend their meet
ings regularly and exert eternal vigi-
lance.

WHAT SHALL SOCIALISTS DO?

The presidential campaign, with
its corruption, wire-pulling and all
manner of underhanded practices,
has fairly opened, and the form the
arguments are taking prove conclu-
sively that the "leayen " which So
cialists have furnished during re-
cent years is in fair way towards
" leavening the whole lump"
With economic questions upper
most in this fight between two spoils
parties, while people of all shades
and grades are discussing and in
curing into the condition of the
people, it seems as if Socialists
should find cause for congratula-
ton, and should push the agitation
Of fundamental principles with fresh
vigor.
1t seems, however, that instead of
approaching the results of our past
agitation some men, who have here
tofore been considered Socialists,
have been lured from the straight
path by the entlcing hopes for I'M
provement held out by the two dom
inant parties. Men who short time
ago solemnly warned workingmen
not to rely upon the promises made
by scheming politicians, to-day
openly avow that the emancipation
Of labor can now only be secured by
supporting free trade party, sup
posed to be the "democracy;" others,
who swore vengeance against the
"two corrupt parties" now fondly
embrace the republican siren of
protection. Some advise working
men to vote the democratic "
ticket, but to stuff cotton up their
nostrlls while doing it.
Can it be possible that those who
formerly seemed so anxious that
workingmen should hold principles
dearer than life, never had any
themselves? The suspicion that
their connection with the poor mans
cause was for Doodle" is, in my
opinion, warranted by their actions
at this time. | see no reason why
Socialists who do believe that free
trade is a prerequisite to industrial
freedom should support the party of
Cleveland, because this party more
or less distinctly repudiates free
trade, and bases its claim to work
ingmen's votes on paltry reduction
of seven or eight per cent. from pres
ent tariff rates. On the other side
of the house | see no danger for
those who think protection is ne
cessity, because the American house
of lords is under the control of the
protected barons, and no bill materi-
ally beneftting the consumer can
pass. True Socialists know this.
That the platform on which We
stand is infinitely superior to the
best planks contained in all the rest
put together, even though they were
to be honestly followed and made
effective, a contamination which nc
| one even family hopes for.
