A Practical Tariff Lesson.

There are some men down in South
Jersey who should be given copies Of
Governor Hills speech, at Newark, to
read and reflect upon. We refer to
the striking glass workers. If any
other set of men was more p~ersistently
fed with specious argument before
the last presidential election we did
not hear about it. They were told
that Republicanism was their saliva
tion and Democracy their bane, and
the tariff was the text of this false
hood. Now behold them and the
benefit that they have derived from
protection.
They are getting no wages at all,
and they are paying a tariff tax on
almost everything that they buy.
Blessed are they under thy admins
tration, oh, Harrison. You enter, and
10, their wages go down. It's only
another proof of the fact that the re-
publican talk before the election was
all bosh.
Secure in the continuance of pro-
tected profits for a few years more the
republican trust men pronounce Mr..
Vanderbilt's pleasant benediction
upon the workingmen.
Governor Hill put himself squarely
on the st, Louis platform SO far as
the tariff goes, and the audience was
with him. 1t was an excellent thing
to have a national Issue stated so well,
as an accompaniment to the admira-
BILE presentation of State questions
made by Ex-Governor Albeit. For
the present the latter is looking
closely at local interests as becomes a
candidate for a State Office. His
broad and sound views on national
topics are, however, well known.

Salt Lake Bathing Costume.

The Salt Lake girls bathing suit is
either black or gray, though most
frequently of black. 1t consists of
sleeveless blouse, cut just safely decol-
lete, and ending in a skirt which
reaches barely to the knee. Long
stockings meet a very gay little pair
of pants just above the knee.-NeaD-

In writing paper there is a particu-
larly taking gray Poodle paper, which,
though not new, is still most popular.
1t has a white poodle on one page and
a black on another, in various atti-
tudes. Envelopes to match. There
are also menu cards in the same style,
with a white poodle in one corner, at
the top, and a black one at another,
below. There is a rainbow paper, in
delicate blended shades, with a fancy
glazed surface somewhat resembling
frosting; and also Russia leather
paper, in peacock, tan or deep red,
perfumed, and looking like the real
leather. White or black ink is used
on it. Some Japanese and Egyptian
menus are quaint and uncommon, the
latter apparently printed in color on
torn parchment. They fold in the
centre. Others have Italian monkish
figures, painted on the white card,
near one corner, after Cattermole, and
are quite worthy of preserving as
small works of art. Menu" written
in pink coral, with a shell and a tiny
pearl in the centre, in the middle of
the NJ, with guest cards to match, are
effective and suitable for nautical en-
tertainments. Some pretty menu
cards are in pale sea green, with a
spray of lilies of the valley, or in pale
blush-pink, with a sprig of May.
These are often laid alternately on a
dinner table, the colors looking well
together.-London Queen.

National Executive Committee.
A meeting of the National Executive
was held on December IS, at the Brook
Ign Labor Lyceum. Were absent, Kuhn
and Pattberg. Gustav Schaefer acted as
chairman. The proceedings of the joint
meeting of the New York sections were
reported. Thereupon the Secretary was
instructed to notify the New York Com
mttee of Management that the Executive
Board was ready to cooperate with the
said committee. The Secretary as also
instructed to request the sections of
Boston, Mass, to elect the Grievance
Committee of the party in accordance
with the provisions of the Constitution.
Section Cleveland, Ohio, sent a very en-
couraging report. A resolution was
unanimously adopted, that all COM
munications of polemical character or
concerning internal party matters shall
be submitted to the Executive Board
before they can be published in the

The Italian section of Meriden, Conn.,,
reports that it recognizes the Chicago
Convention of October II, and remains
within the ranks of the Socialist Labor
Party. The former American Section,
of Albany, N. Y, claimed that half of
the sum which it contributed for the
delegate to the Paris International Labor
Congress should be returned, as only
one instead of two delegates, as previ-
ously intended, had been sent. The
Secretary was instructed to answer that
the claim was sent in too late and that
the new Executive cannot act upon the
matter. &. Schweppendick was dele
gated to recognize the section at Long
Island City. Twenty thousand 100000
copies of the Platform and Social De-
mands and three thousand $1,000 copies
of the Platform, Social Demands and
Constitution were ordered be be printed
in English and German.

Further, the adoption of the above

sound kick to the competitive system.

A regular business meeting was held
on Wednesday, Dec. IS, at the Labor
Lyceum. After transacting the regular
routine business the Section decided to
organize systematic distribution of the
WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE. At the same
time report was received that the sale
of party literature is in fiourishing
condition.
To letters from Holyoke and the Flem-
ish Section of Philadelphia answer was
made that there is only one Socialist
Labor Party, and that it is not divided
into two fractions or factions. 1t was
announced that comrade Sanial would

NOTES..

The Dakotas are threatened with
famine. A venal press has conspired
with the land spectators to keep the
facts from the people, and relief which
otherwise might have been provided by
the nation at large can hardly now
reach the sufferers in time. The money
lenders who have tight grip upon the
farms keep in comfort at a safe distance.
With pantries filled and hearths made
bright by the labor of their destitute
debtors, they watch the coming biz
zard, Like wolves and crows, they re-
Jolce at the prospect of fattening on
human carcases. Next spring the farms
will be theirs, to sell or to rent at a
large profit.

The School Question in Pittsburg.

The school question in its modern
aspect, which the WoRKMEN's ADvo-
CATE may well take the credit of having
first raised and advanced to the front in
this city, through the efforts eff the
Socialist Labor party, has been taken up
in Pittsburg with considerable vigor.
Last Thursday December 10, two largely
attended mass meetings were held in
that city under the auspices of the Ma.
tional Reform Association. Among the
speakers was Miss f. NJ. Cusack, the
"Nun Of Kenmare," who mostly dwelt
upon the aggressive delverances of the
recent Catholic Congress at Baltimore
and the inroads of parochial schools.
At the first meeting, which took place
in the afternoon, she exposed the meth
DDS of the Jesuits. To become a Jesuit,
she said, man had to give up his rea.
son. he must even vote as his superior
dictated. There never was a safe coun-
try where Jesuits were in control. They
are doing their hardest work in America
and in New York have put their special
favorite, Mayor Grant, in power
AT the evening meeting there were
many Catholics in the hall, and when
Miss Cusack came forward she was Wig
orously hised When she expressed her
Willingness to answer questions there
was a wild scene of disorder. A score
of persons. led, it is said, by students of
the Holy Ghost College, arose to their
feet at once and shouted all sorts of
questions at her. Finally quiet was
restored. She said: "The school ones
ton is the question of the day. The
Roman Church Is planning and working
while you are doing nothing. The plan
of the Catholic Churh will first be to get
hold of the public schools. The course
will then be as it has been in Ireland.
The priests there get a money grant
from the Government for educational
purposes, and the Government has IN
spectors to oversee the schools. The
Church obtained certain control over
the inspectors and an absolute power
over the teachers, AS result see the
Ignorant, poverty stricken and crime
burdened condition of West and South
Ireland, This is specimen of Catholic
education"
Harvey Henderson, well-known at
torney, and two leading Protestant min
isters-Dr. Hays and DR.. McAllister-
also made addresses. All argued against
the proposition made by Catholics that
they be given a proportionate share of
public taxes for the support Of parochial
schools.
The meeting passed series of reso-
lutions protesting against any conces-
sions to Catholics by the public school
authorities, and against appropriation
of any money to schools which advo.

complete opportunity for the salvation
of his immortal soul all this from the
cradle through life, in health and in
sickness, to the grave. Then, in return,
exact from all who are not physically or
mentally disabled, an equivalent in pro-
ductive labor.
True you will then find all your "be-
netcent" institutions swept away; but
in the existence of prosperous, indie
pendent, intelligent and happy people
you will find true source of glory.
Tell me, Mr.. Depew, why is it that
a country capable of supporting in
ailluence upwards of six hundred mil
lion people, fails to support sixty mil
lions.
In the midst of almost limitless oppor-
tunities, people by the hundred of thou.
sands are idle for the lack of work.
Lack of work in face of the fact that it
is by work, and by work alone, that
anything Of Use or value is produced in
face of the fact that if these idle people
were given the opportunity to work,
they would not only provide an album
dance for themselves but would by their
labor add immensely to the wealth of
the nation
Go to, Mr.. Depew, don't talk such
foolishness; but if you do, tell your
newspapers not to publish it.
