The Cleveland Plain Dealer may be sin
cere when it says that, with Mr.. Cleveland
as the Democratic candidate, Ohio will be

does rot correctly give the facts, which are
that Ohio will go Republican as long as
there is a Republican party. Pennsylvania,
with her $4,000 Republican majority may
SO change about in the course OF time as to
become Democratic, but Ohio, with Re-
publican majority ranging from 10000 to
5000, will cling to her idols. Olio is

Socialism Expounded by a Woman
Attitude of the Press.

A very successful agitation meeting
of the Section S. l.. p was held last Sat.
urday at Mechanics Hall Mrs. Johanna
Greie was the orator of the evening, and
the subject she spoke on was "Woman's
Emancipation and Socialism" We have
never heard a woman speak as she
did. The lecture that she delivered on
Saturday night, as well as on Sunday
morning, before our Section, were proof
that Mrs. Greie has clear conception
of the great social question, 1t was a
pity that ''noble ladies" of the bo1ugeoisie
should not have heard the truth from
an honest womans lips. Our capitalist
papers could not help giving at least a
whole column to her lecture. The rot
tenness of the capitalist press was never
so clearly shown than on this occasion.
"A Pretty Anarchist at Mechanics
Hall" AN Audience of Scared Men
and Unattractive Women" such were
the headings of their reports; but in
spite of all this the contents of the re-
HOlUo "tlt Iuts "ilItt gave IHt1H Il
splendid appearance. The public have
now an opportunity to look into the
calumniations of such a crowd of hire
ling editors.
Comrade &. A. Hoehn delivered "a lee
ture before the Maryland Labor Confer
ence last Sunday afternoon. His sub.
ject: "The Labor Movement in Europe
its object and origin; its relation to the
movement in America" lie proved
during his lecture that the workingmen
of this country at the present time make
the same demands that tn, orkingmen
of Europe ceased to make in 1863 when
Ferdinand Lasalle gave them to under
stand by what ways and means the fruit
of labor could be secured for the labOrer
Knights of Labor and trades unionists
speak so much of the fruit vi their labor,
but have never understood what the
fruit of mans labor means. He stig-
matlzed the various preachers of har-
mOny in the various organizations; Con-
gresham lsidor Rainer, when making a
lengthy speech to delegation of work
men, showed himself to be ignorant of
the labor question in every respect, a
mixture of ignorance and harmony, such
as ''the workman of to-day is the capt.
alist of tomorrow" "there is no fight
between the laborer and the employer

WHITECHAPEL MURDERS.
The Superiority of Private Enterprise
Aptly Illustrated.

The attitude of the capitalist press
towards the Social Problem has un-
dergone II change, temporary, per-
haps, AS result Of the horrible
murder of four women in White
chapel, London. Commenting upon
and contrasting the present philan-
throplc tone of these public educa-
tors" George G. Shaw, in forcible
letter recently published in the Lon
don Star, after pointing out the
bitter opposition and calumny
heaped upon Socialists for their en-
deavors in Il constitutional direction,
goes on to say:
"Now all is changed. Private enter
prise has succeeded where Socialism
failed Whilst we conventional Social
Democrats were wasting our time on
education, agitation and organization,
some independent genius has taken the
matter in hand, and by simply murder
ing and disemboweling four women
converted the proprietary press to an
inept sort of communism. The moral is
"A pretty one, and the Insurrectionists,
the Dynamitards, the Invincibles, and
the extreme left of the Anarchist party
will not be slow to draw it. Humanity,
political science, economics and religion
they will say, ARE all rot; the one argu-
ment that touches your lady and gentle
man is the knife That is so pleasant
for the party of Hope and Perseverance
in their toughening struggle with the
party hf Desperation and Death!
However, these things have to be
faced. If the line to be taken is that
suggested by the converted West End
papers-if the people are still to yield up
their wealth to the Clanricarde class,
and get what they can back as charity
through Lady Bountiful, then the policy
for the people is plainly a policy of ter
ror. Every gaol blown up, every win
dow broken, every shop looted, every
corpse found disembowelled, means
another f10 note for ransom The
riots OF 1889 brought in f7S, 900 and
Peoples Palace; it remains to be seen
how much these murders may prove
worth to the East End in pd,iem ct err
cences Indeed if the habits of duchesses
only admitted of their being decoyed
into Whltechapel backyards, single
experiment in slaughter house anatomy
on an aristoCratiC victim might fetch in
a round half million, and save the neces-
sity of sacrificing four women of the
people. Such is the stark-naked reality
of these abominable bastard Utopias of
genteel charity, in which the poor are
first to be robbed and then pauperized
by way of compensation, in order that
the rich man may combine the idle lux
ury of the protected thief with the unc
tuous self-satisfaction of the pious phi
lanthrOpist'

HARTFORD, CONN.

s A we'll attended mass.meeting, under
the auspices of Hartford Section, S. l..
p, was held September 26, at Heublein's IS
Hall, at which Comrade Paul Zimmer-
man, of New Haven, ably handled the
question, "What advantages do the re-
publican and democratic parties offer
the workingmen of America through
tariff and free trade respectively" He
reviewed the twenty-five years of "re-
publican administration and showed
that the workingmen only suffered from
a downward tendency of their condition
while corruption was rife. Large tracts
of land were frauduiently placed in pos
session of corporations by act of Con-
gress, and the courts corrupted, 50 that
appeals to them were useless. There
was certainly nothing to be expected
from the republican" party,
The free-trade shouting democrats
have been at the helm for four years;
and while they exposed the Augean
stables to public view they did not, as
Hercules, clean them out. Not a finger
was raised to benefit American labor
After the speaker had explained the fall
lacious arguments for and against free
trade on the one hand and so-called
"prOtection" on the other, he said that
the only thing remaining for American
workmen was to cut loose from the old
parties and join the Socialists in their in
ternational movement. Socialism" "
said he, ''is the legitimate child of capi-
talism, and as such it will grow and
live" .AlI who agreed with the speaker
were invited to become members of the
Socialist Labor party. and several i'm
proved the opportunity.
With cheers for the Socialist Labor
Party and independent political action,
the meeting adjourned,

Greie will speak at the same hall on

around they will cast their votes for
Thingamajig or Thingamaree, ac-
cording to the shape their interest
in their employers rights and priyil-
eges takes.
Among the workers who take
time to think are also a few who are
so simple-minded that they cannot
understand that any benefits would
accrue to them or that their condition
would be improved by the election
of Thingamajig or Thingamaree.
It's six of one and half a dozen of
the other with them. They don't
see what difference it would make
with the amount of comfort they
could get from their work whether
the employers or merchants did or
did not pay fines for importing
goods. So naive are they, indeed,
that they believe they are entitled to
the full value of all the wealth they
work to create. They have also
formed political party and called
it the Socialist Labor Party, after
the fashion of men of similar ideas
in othe" countries, and they actually
propose to vote for workingmen IN
stead of for professional politicians
for Office. They don't set much
value upon the astute talk of the
politicians, and openly express them
selves as opposed to the ingenious
system which the great majority
venerate with patriotic creduhty.
They actually propose to express
their honest opinions by means of
the ballot, as far as voting for per-
sons will permit. These Socialists
are evidently bent upon the intro
duct!on of state Of society in which
every worker will not need to pay
tribute to employers and exchangers
of commodities, and if they don't
succeed in convincing their fellow
workmen that they are paying too
dearly for the privilege of living
upon this mundane sphere it won't
be their fault.
OF course, the people who now
live on the labor of the workers are
terribly opposed 10 ohe Socialists,
so are the poor fellows who have a
chance to make money on election
day and thereabouts by getting peo-
pie to vote for Thingamajig or
Thingamaree. But all that is poll
tics rs 1t is carried on in Gotham.

You Of the earnings of your labor.
No possession of whatever nature is
justiiable save that which results
from honest labor.
You observe the great combina-
tons that are forming in all avenues
Of industry for the purpose of con-
tiscatlng the value of labor under
protection of the law. 1t Is the ma
chlnery of State, IN its various
branches, that is manipulated by
the eXtortioners for this purpose.
And now, when you are called upon
to go through the formaIity OF an
election, it is deception all the more
because there are false issues raised,
the issues of free trade" and "pro-

The real issue for the welfare of
the people is the abolition of the

The Line 20 Tustin.

Mr.. Arthur Brown, Superintendent
of Bridges and Building for the
Southern Pacific, is in town and was
interviewed by a HERALD reporter
yesterday afternoon regarding the
work to be done on the new line from
Polhemus to Tustin. Mr.. Brown said
that truss bridges will be put over
both the Santa Ana river and Santiago
creek, and will be very easy to con-
struct as the river-bed proper is but
very small. He said that the mate
rial is all on hand and the work will
be begun at an early date. The
graders have reached the Santa Ana
river, and SO far have not even had to
employ scrapers owing to the easy
nature Of the soil to be worked. The
whole line, Mr.. Brown says, will be
completed within three months.
