received offer after offer 10 take one bus-

salary than be received as private secretary,

invited Cpl Lamont, as their close friend,
TO join them in extensive street railway
Undertakings in New York. upon which
they were entering. The terms they Of
fered were so satisfactory that Col. Lamont
finally accepted, with the understanding
that he should not leave the President until
March 4, next. He would have gone then
probably, even if the President had bee1

are glad to say, being done by most
of our Sections, and In many places
where there are no Sections as yet,
individual comrades are doing their
duty nobIy.
But there is much to do, and it is
encouraging to know that our oppo-
ncnts are also doing their share Of
the work of evolution, for the evo-
luton of human affairs is not posi-
bic without human action. What
ever the opponents Of socialism may
mean to accomplish, they cannot
help, in their negative way, assisting
in the preparation for the new era.
What Socialists do should be con-
structiye, and their work will rear
a monument to their work of love.

Board second on the list of fifteen
candidates, having polled II, 1872
votes, The Rev. NJ. Crofton, who
Is socialistic in his principles, re-
ceiyed 1854 votes. The cause of
Social Democracy is indeed moving.

Sanders on the Wallsall Municipal
Council, Hill, Stewart and Ladder

THE RIGHT TO LABOR.
Stripes and Salt as an Incentive to
Labor,

The operations of an organization
known as the "White Caps" seem to
be spreading, Notwithstanding the
"power of the press" whose voice is
against outrage. Here is sample
of their work :
"Some days ago William Malloy,
of Glasgow, Ohio, received word that
if he would not 90 to work at once
he would be visited by White Caps
and punished for his shortcomings.
Malloy laughed at the threats. The
other night there came a knock at
his door, and on responding he was
seized by a number of men and
dragged from the house. He was
bound hand foot, and five men then
stepped forward and beat him with
heavy rods, after which they pro-
duced small sack of salt and rubbed
the welts on his body until he cried
with pain. Then they again logged
him severely, and unloo ing him
thrust note into his hand and babe
him 60 home. The not informed
him that if he was not at work in
nineteen days he would be visited
again. 1t is believed he will 60 to
work.
The probability is, too, that he
won't be too particular about the
wages he may get. Possibly one of
the "White Caps" will hire him
cheap. Thus is industry fostered in
the sovereign State of Ohio.

AGITATION NOTES..

The idea of sending out general
organizers and lecturers by the Ma
tlonal Executive Committee seems to
be highly acceptable, Judging from
the welcome given to Prof. Garside
by near y all the Sections he has Wis
tied.
New Orleans Socialists are plan
ming for lively agitation in their
Southern metropolis 1t is probable
that Prof. Garside will visit that
city during his tour.
The Eastern Sections should at
once begin preparing for thesum-
mer campaign. Open-air demonstar-
tons are in order.
Minneapolis and St. Paul are just
beginning their agitation, and it
promises to be a hot one. One old
timer, who lives way out on the
prairie, has come into town to at
tend the meetings.
'lf the Scotchmen take hold of
Socialism there is something in it, y
remarked an antediluvian newspaper
man in Chicago. Certainly: Sandy
is pretty leyel-headed.
Garside writes us that we should
record those Sections which have
formed ADVOCATE clubs. ANYHOW,
every Section should form one.
Dunkirk is a small town in the
Empire State, but the Socialist Party
will soon have the pleasure of greet
ing Section of Socialists there, if
the noble efforts of an energetic
woman are crowned with the success
she deserves.
Our comrades on both the Long
Island and Jersey sides of the rivers
around New York are already agita,
ting for the local spring elections.
In New Jersey agitation will be
carried on in the English, German
and French languages this spring.

The earliest known living sub.
stance is said to be protoplasm, a
jelly-like matter, non-speclallzed,
that is, without distinct organs for
carrying on the special functions of
the different organs found in more
highly developed animal beings, In
these earlier jelly-like forms of be-
ing, there is no head, no eve, no
heart, no lungs, no limbs, no organs
of any sort. 1t is one simple mass,
of which all is head, all is eye, all is
lungs, all is alimentary canal, and
so on. Anarchists have much to
say about evoluton-but is it not
evident that anarchy is evolution
reversed society gone back to pro-
toplasm, reverted to its prlmordal
jelly, so to speak, a condition in
which there is no head Tor all is
head), and 50 forth? Many years
ago | read an account OF a school
boy who in the course of his lessons
came to the detinition-"aceph-a-
lous, without a head" and read it
"aceph, a louise without headw
Anarchism is acephalous, without
head. In any organic being such
Il thing would be monstrosity out
riyalling any dime museum "freak"
ever exhibited. So any headless
system of society, combining socie-
tary operations aud relations is a
freak "a mere freak of an mag
ination run wild.
Society in the modern sense of the
idea implies cooperation, implies
law, or er, executive authority or
government; restraint on evil doors,
that the well disposed may be pro-
tected in their rights of life, liberty
and means of happiness, Evolution
forward has brought society to its
present vantage ground in respect of
all these things. The principle of
socialism is already established in
many specialized functions Of soci-
ety, rue United States mai service,
municipal water and light service,
United States public school system,
et;. Now the question is, shall So
clety hold fast to the good already
attained and help forward the social
trend apparent in the same direc-
ton, help the evolution of society
forward, reforming and so trans
forming and socalizing societary APP
planes in accordance with ethical
principles and by ethical methods,
ever making progress toward the
higher ideals of humanity, or shall
1t revert the headless, incoherent
systemless system of anarchism?

what is worse, in language. Amer

LET THE LIGHT SHINE.

1t seems rs if the Socialist Party
cannot too plainly place before the
American public its principles and
policy. Ever ana anon there are
attacks upon us based upon lgnor-
ance or wlIfuI misrepresentation.
and rs it is u mission of Socialists to
make their principles understood, 30
too Is it the mission of their Journal
to assist IN this work. In almost
every issue have we printed the
Platform of our Party, and our de-
mands upon society and its consti-
tuted authorities. The Platform in
Itself is an almost exhaustive argu-
ment boiled down ia the cauldron
Of debate and manv-sidcd obscrva-
ton. Still Socialists are continu-
ally called upon to explain and ac-
centuatc It's points.
Besides the Platform there are
"demands,' social and political,
which are made by the Party upon
the present law-making powers,
which demands, if acceded to, would
tend to peaceful and speedy solu-
ton of the question of Labor, and
usher IN the new order SO gently
and with such gradual force that the
necessary educational features would
precede the final action. These de-
mands are often subject for discus
sion, and are often COMPOUNDED with
the platform proper, an instance of
which may be seen in the letter from
San Francisco, published in this is
sue.
In the matter of policy, the
Socialist Party is also much mlsrep-
resented. A sufficient refutation of
the common assertion that Social
lists recommend physical force to
'overturn things is found in the
demands upon the Government and
Legislatures of the various States.
