MUROEROUS PRIVATE EN-.
TERPRISE.

The killing of linemen and 9TH
ers by the touch of electric wires is
one of the beauties of private enter
prise. That the wires should be so
exposed as to endanger the lives of
people is merely an incident of pri-
vate avarice and Economy" With
proper precautions there would not
need to be 80 strong current in the
wires as to kill while they are being
examined and repaired. But it
might cost a little more, and that
would affect dividends

" SOLIDARITY"

1t has been said, as an excuse for
its perfidy, that Solidarity, paper
published in New York by the
Knights of Labor, was sold.
Whether the paper was sold or not,
its conductors are sold. Honest Ia
bor men would not sell their paper
to the enemy on the eve of such a
contest az the brewers.

Axel Danielson, the editor of the
Socialist paper, Arbetet, has been
sentenced to four months imprison-
ment, II appears that the prison
director, Lagerberg, had been justly
sentenced to six years hard labor 70
embezzlement, but his sentence was
quashcd by the superior court of
justice. Danielson, for daring to
censure the action of the court, was
sentenced to four months incarcera-
tion

Socialists Active in the Labor Move
ment-Suspects Discharged.

The vigorous Social-Democratic
propaganda which has been carried
on in the north of spain has created
commotion among the political
parties. The capitalist press clearly
recognizes the Socialists as a force
which will have to be reckoned with
in the future.
The successes which the workers
have gained during the recent strikes
at Barcelona are attributed to the
Socialist propaganda. The employ
ers are dlscharging all workmen sus-
pected Of having connection with
the Social, Democratic movement.

EMANCIPATION.

The capitalist class in Brazil have
evidently come to the conclusion
that chattel slavery is more expen-
sive than wage slavery, and SO they
have emanclpated their slaves, no
doubt receiving the blessings of the
ignorant slaves, and 1attering them
selves that they have done a philan-
thropie act.
