Truths Mirror.
New Jersey Unionist.

New Jersey Unionist.
In his novel entitled Dawn"
Rider Haggard has the following
exceedingly suggestive paragraph:
"W'hen is the truth pleasing1 1t is
only when we clothe its nakedness
with the rags of imagination, OF
sweeten it with fiction, that it can
please. Ofitself tisso ugly a thing
that society in its refinement will
not even hear it. Thus all passion,
however vile, is called by the
name of love; all superstitious
terror and groyeling attempts to
conciliate the unseen, are known
as religion, while selfish greed and
the hungry lust for power masque-
rade as laudable ambition. Men
and women especially women, hate
the truth, because, like the electrie
light, it shows them as they are,
and that is vile. 1t has grown so
strange to them from disuse that,
like Plate, they do not even know
what it isl"

banner of what to-day may seem
a forlorn hope.
Following Comrade Keller came
an address by a man who desire!
that his name be not mentioned
as the boss" where he works ha:
warned his men against attending
the socialist meetings.
In the course of his remarks the
| gentleman called attention to the
fadt that our enemies never rely
on argument or reason to refute
the ideas advanced by socialists
The calling of names was the
stock argument against the social
istic idea.
We do not advocate force as q
remedy for existing wrongs. We
want to stir men and women tc
think. We believe all mankind
should be as a brotherhood. The
speaker denied that socialists
we're the dregs of the labor peo-
pie. They were the ones who
would be seldom found in saloons
or places Of that description. The
socialist might be mud-diggeI
or a worker at the lowest kind Of

see that the Denver socialists still
held their meetings despite the
efforts of the opposition. Mrs,
Washburn said she was satisfied
with the progress the agitation
was making. In her section peo-

The Church Is Rotten.

AT the close of his sermon in

man is dead in the churches. ]

The church recognizes the aristoc-
racy of money and of birth. II
caters to wealth and culture and
distinction. The work that the
church is doing will, if it is perse.
vered in, break down the notion
of the brotherhood of man, and
some fine morning some man will
run a blue pencil through the
Declaration of independence

The evidence of fraud in seat
ing John G. Carlisle is so clear and
conclusive that the speaker has
been startled out of his assumed
role of contemptuous silence.
He has even filed an affidavit,
as if his personal affidavit
amounted to anything in a case
like this. To say that he has had
no knowledge of the apparent
frauds that were perpetratedein
Covington, not only at his las1 aal-
legged election, but before and
after, is to make him out block
head, incapable of representing
anybody or anything. He knew
that Thobe was elected, and he
knows it now. The day after the
Congressional election all his
friends knew he was beat-they
acknowledged it. Carlisle him
self walked down the street per
fectly dazed, like man in a dream
striking at imaginary opponents
in the air, and matchmaking the
labor men. II am beat" he said,
"and it is my own fault"
Then there sprang up spark
of hope. There was great gath
ering of the clans. The work
house bummers, the ward-workers,
and all the ancient boodlers came
together. Carlisle's Covington
vote would be small without these
They seized upon the returns as
fast as they came in. and doctored
them up in favor of 1.-THE . old
man." But it was soon discov'
cred that they dared not change
the returns of Kenton sufficiently
to affect the result. Runners
were dispatched to the rural re
gions. The vote of the bach
counties was withheld for days
1t was found that in many pre-
cincts, notably in Gallatin, Carol
and Trimble counties, scarcely 4;
ballot had been cast. 1t wa.
necessary to remedy this; so thu
vote of 1884 was hurriedly brought
out and counted for 1.-THE ole

distinguished from those of SO, be
ing differently shaped. There arr
also votes among them for Ian
drum, who was a candidate in ..
but not in SO. II is also averree
that when the news of Carlisle
defeat reached the country the
moss-backs rushed to the poll
and voted for week, and some o
them voted more than once; 9th
