OPENING WORDS.
The Phillstines, hearing of the
elevation of David to the throne of
all Israel made two attempts to over
throw the new king, in both of
which they were defeated. David
then determined to bring the ark
Of the covenant from the obscurity
in which it had lain since its re-
turn by the Philistines(1 Sam. 7:6),
and to set it up in jerusalem, thus
making that city, as the Lord in
tended it should be, the religious
as we'll as the civil centre and cap
ital of the whole people. Of this
we have an account in this lesson.

A NOTABLE ETCHING.

The Party, through its National Exec
utive Committee, received a beautiful
present consisting of an artistic etching
of the portrait of Carl Marx, from Com
rade Alfred C. kim, who executed the
work, The features of the great thinker
are strongly portrayed, and those who
have seen the etching pronounce it ex-
cellent. Comrade kim is the first one
of his abilities who has essayed to pro-
duce work of real merit so closely al
lied with socialism-the first question
with artists usually being that of pay.
The price at which copies of this work
may be had, $500, will not be even a
fair reward for the laborious work, I'M
less large numbers are sold. 1t makes a
tasty wall picture, and its historical sig
nificance, together with the fine execu-
ton and very low price, will no doubt
induce many comrades and friends to
become possessors of copy. 1t may be
ordered from the artist or the New
York Labor News Company, as will be
seen in the advertisement in another
column

Editor Workmen's AdUOcdte:


read in your issue your editorial on
the "Eight-hour Movement" | agree
with you in your statement that such
can never be success on the trades
union basis. The great number of
tradesmen are not in unions and will not
be subject to their control within the
coming year. Such being the case the
unions cannot force their demands
without using force. If the unions at
tempt to use force they will be met by
the police force of our various cities,
but if this force cannot control the men
on strike then we can call on the State
militia. Should the State militia not be
able to maintain order then we can call
out the U. S. regulars. No strikes can
be of any earthly use. What we want
is for the men who are oppressed and
robbed to meet and use the ballot with
effect. Vote the policeman's club into
its socket, the State militia into their
armories, and the U. S. regulars into
