A WISE RULE.

Among the rules of a livery stable
in New York, where the animals OF
MANY wealthy men are kept, are the
following: "No man will be en-
Moved who drinks intoxicating liquors.
No man shall speak loud to any of the
horses. or in the stable where they
are. Horses of good blood are ner-
vous, and loud, excited conversation
is felt by every horse who hears it,
and keeps them all nervous and un-
essy. No man shall use profane
language in the hearing of horses"
It would not be a bad idea if every
stable adopted these rules.

business has been very satisfactory in the old
crop, and we are better prepared than ever to
handle the new crop at the highest prices
with the lowest charges for selling. We have
the full support of all the independent buyers

that we do not buy, by saying the highest
prices. We want so, 900 lbs. of old Filters and
Smokers at once for which we will pay the
highest market value, and we are pleased TO
say that such grades have advanced. The
new crop is curing very bright, and prices
are satisfactory, our average sales on a large
quantity sold being over 20 cents per pound,

the condition of rats and mice living in
holes and corners and counting on evad-
ing notice for the enjoyment of exist
ence. The railroads are going on COM
bining at such rate that soon few
great syndicates will control every rail-
road in the land. In manufactures
every important staple is quickly being
grabbed up by the syndicates. Pools
and trusts are fixing prices and crush
ing out all competition. The great city
fair will soon be wiping out its country
rival with branch stores; and is already
absorbing its smaller rivals at such a
rate that in some cases even now nearly
every branch of business is conducted
under one roof, with hundreds of en-
ployes, many of them former proprie-
tors of stores, etc.
Socialism is stronger to-day in every
civilized country thea many of its oppo.
nents think it is. 1t would be well for
the press of orr land to recognize this
fact. 1t cannot ignore this truth much
longer. 1t must either accept socialism,
or meet it IN lair, manly argument.
Why will the press continue to lead
public opinion in the same way that a
wheelbarrow leads the man who is
pushing it? Can the press not see that
under the name of Nationalism and
other titles thousands are becoming So
cialists5 That many of the most ad-
vanced thinkers and writers are advo-
eating socialism? Among its many late
converts are, DR.. McGlynn, DR.. Barry,
Howard Crosby, and DR.. Beecher,
brother of the late Henry Ward
Beecher. Listen to the following words
from sermon recently delivered by the
Rev. Mr.. Allen, prominent Southern
minister:
The social system under which we
are living is extremely anti.C Christian;
the competitive idea, which is the for
native idea Of the nineteenth century
society, not only leads, but even drives
men to the most extreme selfshness and
a self-centered life which is the quin-
tescence of sin; the greed to get and
the intensity of the grip to hold charac-
terizes the social system of the present
day on all sides as mammon worship
'lf this is not Socialism, what is it?
"Mr. Cowdrey should not have
stopped at advising the State to take
the coal mines and run them in the in
terest of the people. He should have
said that the people, through their gov
ernment, ought 10 take possession and
control Of all their mines, their lands,
railroads, telegraphs, and all means OF
communication; shipping and all means
OF transportation; all waterways, and, in
a word, all public property. When this
is done and the trusts have gone on
combining until further combination is
impossible, the people will assume the
conduct of their own business, just as,
upwards of one hundred years ago,
they assumed the conduct of their own
government and we will have Social

himself, and his servant was bribed to
forswear himself and accuse his en-
ployer of advising friends to commit
theft. 1t was in his defense of himself
and friends that Lassalle made the
great speech which attracted the at
tention of all Europe, after which he
was declared not guilty, ard carried to
freedom amid the applause of the null
titude.
During the memorable year of 184S,
Lassalle once more entered political life.
1t was at this time that Freiligrath
wrote his famous poem, 'The Dead and
the Living" for which he was arrested
August %, 1S48. But Lassalle was at
work among the people, and such a
public sentiment in favor of the i'm
prlsoned poet was engendered that it
influenced the jury, and on October 8
the great poet was liberated.
The authorities, however, feared the
bold tribune, and sought to put him out
of the way. So on the 22d of November
he was arrested on the charge of "per-
suading the citizens to arm themselves
against the king" The trial was pur-
posely heightened, new charges added,
and finally, after year of prison and
courtroom life Lassalle was allowed to
go free in the winter of 1S50-51. Then
he continued the great case of the Baron
ess Hatzfeldt until victory crowned his
efforts. His client never deserted him,
and they lived together in Dusseldorf
Lassalle, however, with new means at
hand, played spendthrift in his private
life. Finally he made Berlin his home,
and for number of years there was
rest for him so far as active politics was
concerned. He continued to work, how
ever, and his ideas were already ripen
ing into socialism, for he had long been
acquainted with the writings of Marx
and Engels. About this time he COM
pleted his principal literary work; The
System of Acquired Rights (Das Sys-
tenn der eracorbenen Rechte), in which he
attacked the principle that the existing
social order, with the rights and laws
which find their source in it, must be
sacred for all future time; holding, on
the contrary, that every period had the
right to decide, not being under the
denomination of the past, and, conse-
quently, not bound to recognize as
right anything which antagonlzed its
conception of right. In 1862 he wrote a
philippe, abounding in whitening criti-
cism, against Julian Schmidt, the liter
airy historian. In this year, also, he
again mounted the rostrum to address
the people during the constitutional
campaign then agitating Prussia. The
two great political parties looked upon
him az dangerous enemy, and he crit

SYRACUSE.

AT the last meeting of the Syracuse
Section, s, l.. p, it was decided to or
der a thousand copies of the leafet pub
lished by the National Executive Com
mittee, entitled "A Shorter Workday,"
for distribution at the Labor Day parade
by the Trades Assembly. 1t was also
resolved to fittingly observe the twenty
fifth anniversary of Lassalle's death, and
the Liberty Dramatic Club, which, by
the way, consists wholly of members of
our Party, has offered to present the
play entitled, der Staatsstreish Won
Galgenhausen," while the Workmen's
Singing Society has volunteered to rem
der few appropriate songs. Comrade
g. Voss will make the address. Thus
the affair promises to be success.
We may also report that "SchtDdnz-
polttik" is in the flower of its glory in
Syracuse just now. For instance, it
was resolved by the Trades Assembly at
recent meeting to invite the "friend
of the workingman," Governor Hill,
to make speech at the Assemblys
picnic on Labor Day. Truly, pretty
tough joke But what can we expect
from such LEADERS" (and the so-called
''leaders' only are meant) who are moth
ing better than democratic" wire pull

selves to be led by the nose, instead of
kicking such demagogues out.

FERDINAND LASSALLE.
Brief Sketch of the Life Of the ImmOr.
tai Thinker.

Ferdinand Lassalle, though the son of a
modest silk merchant, nevertheless, led
life of the greatest public activity. He
was born at Breslau, April II, 1925, and
his parents naturally intended that he
should become a merchant also; and the
wealth at his disposal, together with
the opportunity of succeeding to we'll
established business, certainly would
have had attraction sfor a less brilliant
character. But Lassalle began early
to interest himself in the classics, and
Heine's works had peculiar fascination
for him. He dreamed of becoming a
great poet, and the democratic ideas of
Heine were his models. His parents
reluctantly listened to his opportunities
for a higher education, and finally, at
the age of eighteen, sent him to the
Breslau University, which he soon ex-
changed for the University of Berlin,
where he industriously studied philol-
ogy and philosophy. His restless spirit
was not satisfied with learning only; he
must work; and although he had not
yet given up the idea of becoming an
author of prominence, he could not sue
ceed in his efforts in this direction. His
manner of living was luxurious, and
his family paid the bills though they
strongly objected to his extravaganza.
After finishing his studies at Berlin in
1914 he went to Dusseldorf, and then to
Paris, in both of which places he still
pursued his favorite studies. In Paris
he made the personal acquaintance of
Heinrich Heine, who, skeptical as he
was, acknowledged his admiration for
Lassalle with wonder. He once wrote
him: ''You have right to be bold n \
In comparison with you, am but a
modest fly. love you much; not
to would be impossible, for you tease
one till he loves YOU" Heine welcomed
Lassalle as a fortunate acquisition of
contemporary time. On ending his
studies in Paris he again went to Ber-
lin to. settle down as private tutor and
lecturer to students at the University,
where he enjoyed the friendship of such
important personages as Alexander Won
Humboldt, the naturalist, and Boekh,
the philologist. 1t was at this time that
he became acquainted with the luckless
Duchess Hatzfeldt, whose husband
treated her with such cruelty, and
which led to the celebrated case before
so many courts, in which Lassalle Wig
orously defended the sorely prosecuted
woman who was forclbly parted from
her children. This connection led to
many prosecutions of the young lawyer

Women's Breathing.
E.ono Scjonce


Our readers will doubtless remem-
Der the claim made by DIR. Thomas J..
Mays, of Philadelphia, that he had
succeeded in demonstrating that the
statement made in almost every text
book on physiology, that it was nat
ural for women to breathe from the
chest, was wrong; that the abdominal
type of respiration, as ordinarily OBJ
served in men, was the natural type
of women as well, and the costal
type as seen in women is the
result of modern dress. This
claim he supported by the re-
suit of an examination of eighty-two
American Indian girls. DR.. j. III. KEEL
logg, from an examination Of Chinese
and other women untrammeled by
tight fitting dress, finds the abdominal
type present in them. Other observ-
ers, notably Hutchinson, in twenty
four girls whose waists had never
been CONSTRUCTED by corsets or other
appliances, found the costal type
present. The question of what is the
natural type of respiration may
therefore still be regarded as sub
judice, unless, which perhaps may be
the truth, both types + natural
under varying conditions, indepen-
dent of dress.

A Woman and a Hose.
From the FTedonian.


A German woman, recently imported
from the Faderland, was employed on
Thursday afternoon to clean the show
windows in the furnishing store OF
Mrs. Mason, on Burnett street, New
Brunswick. The constituents used in
the cleaning process were a brush,
water and a twenty-foot hose attached
to a ear hydrant.
The woman was a faithful worker
and was making good progress. Her
attention, however, was attracted by
a passing vehicle, and she turned, for
getful Of the implement in her hand.
The stream from the hose being tenn
porarily withdrawn from the glass,
sped merrily ON its way, seeking other
conQuests. 1t soon found a victim in
the person of Mrs. Mason's son, a ten
year-old, who was standing near. The
small boy was thoroughly drenched
and went into the store crying.
A hearty peal of laughter from an
opposite direction caused the woman
again to turn, and this time the water
struck and nearly knocked down Mrs.
Mason's eldest daughter. Guided by
the wandering hand of the much con-
fused woman, the stream from the
hose pursued the uneven tenor of it's
way and was next stopped when it
struck the astonished countenance of
Mrs. Mason. A large crowd had col
lected, who thoroughly enjoyed the
scene, and the German woman re-
tired into the rear of the store amid
the plaudits of the amused audience.
A small boy turned off the water and
in a few minutes the excitement sub
sided.

. genuinely satanic character. There
Is no rule without its exception, and it
is not fair to the brown eye to make
this one a standard for judgment.
The brown eye is an eye to pin ones
faith to. 1t is the sunny nature and
the generous that looks through the
brown eyes.
But the best eye to me is the gray
eye. And if there is a fleck OF hazel
in it, or better yet, a touch OF the
yioiet's hue, it is the more effective.
The gray bespeaks the constant
nature. 1t is the trustful eye, the in
telligent eye, the eye that eloquently
portrays the responsive, the sympa-
thetic, the loyal character. There is
in the expression of the gray eye an
lndefinable essence. or aspect, which
fascinates and holds the attention N
commands the confidence. The steel
gray eye is the eye of cruelty. But
the soft gray eye, with its pure and
expressive look, who does not say
that it is beautiful? And who can
deny that the violet-gray eye, an eye
that is so seldom seen, is not really
ravishing?
But, as I have written, the beauty
OF anything is the proportion OF n
object to the fancy. And there will
be many whose fancy is SO different
from mine that they will not agree
with the word hat they have read ON
the eve.
