A VOTE OF THANKS.

A village in New England came into
possession of neat and much needed
town hall, the gift of public spirited
citizens. When completed a meeting
was held to dedicate the new building.
Speeches were made by prominent cit
liens, and special reference was natur-
ally made to the chief benetactor and
to those who had been most active in
forwarding the enterprise.
One speaker mentioned the names
of five or six of these citizens, and sug-
gested that vote OF thanks be ten
dered them. This was done.
A moment later a little wien. faced
old man arose in the back part of the
hall, and, in a sharp, penetrating voice,
called:
"Mr. Cheerman ! Mr.. Cheerman p
The speaker being recognized, he
proceeded:

populous and extensive a country as

matter of fact, our people vote to re.

several States? DO they not practically
vote for the President? What reason in
the world is there why they cannot Just
as well vote upon law as upon a con
Shtutlon or upon men:
And what reason is there for the peo-
pie to have representatives at all
True, they needs must have men to di-
rect affairs and to do certain work for
them. These men are their dqeNtS for
certain purposes, but in no sense their
representatives. 1t is their fictitious

mlts Pennsylvania legislators to drag
along the scandalOus extra session and
prevents their being kicked out of their
seats SIS they ought to be. 1t is this
representative character that is the
father of all this parliamentary non.
sense, laundering work and the "practi-
cal politics in which Garfield was such
an adept, and of which he fell such a
signal victim.
Under the Socialist regime the Admin
istrators will form working body, not a
talking body. The people in their or
ganic capacity will watch, stimulate and
control them, but not meddle with their
details. Their agents will have been
put into the position they occupy, be-
cause they know better than anybody
else how to contrive the means and exc
cute the measures demanded. They
will administer the nations affairs as a
pilot directs and handles ship, but the
direction of the Ship of State will be
indicated by Public Opinion.

MINNEAPOLIS.
State Organization and Political Ac.
tiOn Is Urged.

The Socialist movement in Minneap-
oils and st. Paul has been considerably
more animated since Garside's agitation,
and that is pleasing, But we must not
stand idle. We must establish our Or
ganization more thoroughly. Above all
things, we must strictly hold ourselves
in line with the National Party organi-
zation. 1t is to be regretted that here, as
well as in st. Paul, there are still those
who are socialists, take active part in
the movement and contribute of their
means, and still neglect to Join the Party
organization; but upon inquiry they
can give us no reasonable ground for
their neglect. An individual socialist
cannot succeed well in agitation; only
organization, national organization, can
so succeed. Our friends should consider
this and act accordingly.
But the local organizations must stand
square upon the Platform of our Party.
If they do this, such discussions as that
over the eight-hour question at the
recent conference of the Sections of
Minneapolis and st. Paul will be super
tluous. Our Platform guides us as to the
manner of agtating for shorter hours
We must act independently as politi-
cal party; that is to say, we must rise
above debating club manners, and de-
eide to participate in the elections. Our
candidates must be pledged, in case they
are elected to work for the shortening
of the work-day.
And right here we see how important
it is that all true socialists should be
active members of the Party, for the
Party is responsible for its candidates,
and can consequently not nominate men
who are not members of the Party. By
adopting such tactics we show the peo-
pie that we act according to the Const.
tuition, and do not expect to establish an
eight-hour workday through the doubt
full method of strikes If the legisla-
lures and city councils can forbid the
saloonist to sell drinks on Sundays, they
can certainly forbid the manufacturer
running his factory longer than eight
hours per day, when strong labor
party has its representatives in the legis-
latures. We must make the Socialist
Party such a strong party.
The members of the German Sections
of the "twin cities" are probably without
exception in favor of political action
All arguments against it are untenable
That it is disadvantageous cannot be
proved; on the contrary, as long as We
remain debating clubs we cannot draw
the masses to our meetings Discussion
is good when we desire to educate our
selves, but that is not agitation. The
situation is quite different when we
appear as political party. The work
ers will begin to ask: What do the So
cialists want, anyway? And they will
come out to the campaign meetings to
hear Us, There is the best opportunity
to reach the people and explain our
principles, This is agitation.
The objection may be raised that there
is a dearth of English-speaking candi-
dates. But they will be found, if we
only begin our operations, in good sea-
son.
Therefore, Comrades, to work, see
that at the next joint meeting in Mime
apOlls a State organization is formed,
and practical steps taken for political
action. F.. E.

A RENT TRUST.
Private Enterprise in Real Estate.
Smart Spectators.

A news dispatch of peculiar inter
est to observers of the social ev0lu-
ton recently appeared in the papers,
which will serve as an additional ar
gument in favor of Socialism. A
neat stroke Of private "enterprise'
was perpetrated by a snug little
Combine" in Findlay, Ohio, where
three young men with little capi
tai started out quietly early in the
year to lease every house that was
for rent for the period of a year,
with the privilege of three years, the
intention being to re-rent at ad ad-
vance of s., S4 and sc per month
over the amount paid the owners of
the property for the same. They
clinched each bargain by paying
three months rent in advance, and
when knowing day" MAY y came,
they had every available house in
the city in their possession.
"Then," says the reporter, "the
trust or combine began reaping the
reward of their shrewdness. People
were compelled to have houses, and
they could only get them from the
trust and at the trusts terms. As
consequence the scheme has worked
to She complete satisfaction Of the
trio of young fnanciers. OF course
there is much Indignation, but the
trust is on top"
Some thoughtless folks will un-
doubtedly call these young men
robbers, but when election day
comes round these same GROWERS
will vote for the candidates Of the
political parties who make no pre-
tense of legislating system out of
existence which permits such center
prise" Under the Socialist system
the people would not need to pay
more for their housing than it is ac-
tually worth. But the successful
operation of such little schemes will
no doubt have an educational effect.

lation to the matter, and also if the
United States Government will take part

Our agitation in this city must be pro-

when the efforts Of the Nationalist Club

bodies in this city, who also declared in

FREE SPEECH DENIED.
New Orleans Officials Don't Want So.
cialism.

cialism.
The old city of New Orleans is
away behind the times-and its
mayor and his satraps, the police, are
the same. Prof. Garside was an
nounced to speak there on April y,
but failed to make his appearance
that day. The consequence was
that when he did come, on the 30th,
there was slim audience, and it
was decided to hold an open-air
meeting Oh Lafayette Square the
next evening. He had spoken but a
few minutes before an audience COM
posed of people of all stations in life,
who listened quietly, when the
Chief of Police stepped up and for
bade further speech, on the ground
that the speaker had no permit.
He was told to call at the Superin-
tendent's office the next day to get a
permit. This was done, but the
permit was not granted. On the
contrary, Mr.. Garside was told that
if he attempted to speak he would
be arrested. Secretary Festner, of
the New Orleans German Section,
who accompanied him, was told that
if he or his comrades attempted to
give out any more handbills or cir
culars they would also be arrested.
"We won't allow Socialism or an
archy here-it will be completely
crushed out" cried the excited Chief.
The Mayor was called upon for a
permit, a written request being
handed him. The TimeS- Democrat
says that the Mayor states that he
will under no circumstances permit
sociaistlc meetings to be held in the
Square or circulars to be distributed
on the streets. The local press is
unanimously opposed to the So
Clallsts.
On the evening of May 2, at
about $50 O'Clock, Il man named
John S. Barrow, aged 81 years, was
arrested by Police Captain Hender-
son and Special Policeman McEvoy
for distributing the Centennial leaf
lets on the street. The next day he
was sentenced to thirty days in Jail,
although the judge was urged to ac-
cept fine. The man is not mem
Der of the Party, nor is he known to
the members.
1t seems that there ought to be at
least a few citizens in New Orleans
who have manhood enough to de-
mand that the right of free speech
be respected. The Romish Church
has great "pull' in the city, how
ever, and the officials are understood
to be as bigoted and as ignorant of
American institutions as though
they lived in Catalonia. The bust
ness men, of course, are afraid of
injuring their business by taking
sides, and among these the news
paper proprietors are not the least
timid.

THE HORSE, THE BOA AND
THE OUNGHILL FLIES.


Once, in the good old times when ami
mails could understand each others
speech, a herd of horses assembled in
council to devise means to destroy a
large Boa Constructor, who had for
many years despoiled the herd of its
weaker members. 1t was decided that
the leader of the herd, splendid StaI-
lion, should hunt up the Boa and stamp
it to death; 30 the Stallion started out
on his mission.
He had not proceeded far when his
attention was attracted by the presence
of two Dunghill Flies, who persistently
hummed about him, and cudeavored in
various ways to annoy him. But he
kept right on his way and only shook
them off as he sped onward to his duty.
Finally the Flies, finding that their
presence was all bat ignored, addressed
him.
Said the oldest Fly: "Why do you not
advise your herd to procure dynamite,
and when the Boa comes within your
corral, explode it and thus kill your
enemy"
But the Horse only answered with
pitying glance over his shoulder as he
Tipped the fly from his flank with
sharp switch Of his tail.
Il have a better plan" hummed the
other Fly, as he alighted upon the
horses other flank, "Let the Boa CON
tinue his depredations, but tax him to
death. Every time he kills colt com.
pei him to return you the surplus hair on
its fetlOCks, and thus make it unprOfit-
able for him to kill your fellows"
AT this the horse laughed as only
horses can, and gave the insect such
switch that he fell upon his back on the
ground and swOre that thereafter horses
were his enemies, and that he and his
brothers Of the dunghill would always
regard them as such.
The horse stopped for moment to
see what made all the noise, but
could discern nothing. While the un-
horsed Fly was swearing and kick
ing, little black Fly with kindly
face came along and reprimanded
him, saying, Don't you know that the
horse is only doing what we would
gladly do if we could y He is intent
upon killing our common enemy, the
Boa, 1t is to be deplored that Horses
and Dunghil Flies, who want to exter-
inmate the Boa Constructor, should waste
their energies in fighting each other.
dynamite" shrieked the first Fly,
as loud as his disabled jaw permitted
him.
The horse is my enemy, and the en-
emy of all honest Dunghill Flies :"
squeaked the fallen hero, still lying on
his back.
Little Black Fly" remarked the
Horse, as he resumed his journey, "why
do you accuse me of fighting Flies
Don't you see that am on the way to
destroy our enemy? These poor Flies
are not enemies; they are nuisances
which must be abated, because they
would hinder me in performing my
duty
And the Horse was soon engaged in
treading the Boa into Jelly, while his
snakeship died totally ignorant of the
existence of the Flies.
MORAL: There are some people with
whom it is useless to waste any more
energy than is necessary to keep them
from being confounded as companions.
