SIOUX CITY, To-, Feb. 25.-J. Adon-
IRAN Rosa. son of the original dyna-
miter, is a resident of this city, where
for several years he has been practlcing
law. He does not share the opinions of
his father that force is the only agent
that can be effectually used by the
Irish to secure justice from England,
but on the other hand believes that
proper legislation will yet give to the
Emerald Isle her rights. In conyersa-
ton with your correspondent he said
that he was well acquainted with
Pigott, the London Times witness, who
has made such a flat failure in sustain
ing the authenticity of the letters pur-
porting to have been written by Par
neil and Egan. Rossa says that he be-
came acquainted with PigOtt in Dublin
in 1866, and knew him we'll up to 1878.
At that time Pigott was publisher of the
Irishman and Flag of Ireland, national
ist newspaper. He was a jolly, clever
fellow. refined in his tastes and excess
ively extravagant in his manner OF liv-
ing. He was then considered an honest
man. Rosa says he is satisfied that
Pigott's downfall came through his ex-
trayagance.

Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-07-20

The spirit of humble devotion in
which the ruling capitalists of the
Quaker city apologize to God on Sun
days for their sinful conduct on week
days, compelled us here to delay twen-
ty-four hours the centennial celebration
of the fall of the Bastille. The enthusi-
asm was great, however, and when at
O'Clock on Monday night the meeting
was called to order, the Arbeiter Saen-
gerbund Hall was filed to overtiowing
with bright gathering of men and
women, whose energetic applause of
the Marseillaise, the red flag and the
speakers, was sufficiently expressive Of
their sympathies. We were all espe-
cially pleased with the able speech OF
Com. j. Edward Shaw, because of the
evidence it gave of the progress of So
cialistlc ideas among the American
wOrkingmen.

Let them state some practical pro-
posals.
Hyndman contended that George had
not met his argument. As to practical
measures, he pointed to the measures
which have been advocated by the s. D.F.
in season and out of season for years past,
which have never been seriously chal-
lenged, aud which are being generally
accepted The organization of labor, the
communal building of dwellings,, the
shortening of the hours of labor, and
the feeding of the children were prac-
tical measures which would help on the
development of the Social Democracy,
which was the inevitable outcome
economic evolution. George concluded
the debate with another panegyric on
competition, after which vote of
thanks was unanimously accorded to
the chairman, and after three lusty
cheers had been given for the Social
Revolution the meeting dispersed.
