IN THE PUBLIC <Z< SERVICE.

>@ The New York Sun is quite surprised to learn from its London correspondent that some prominent employees of the British Government are also prominent Socialists, whose opinions are we'll known to their superiOrs.
 "IItrbert Burrows" writes this cor respondent, lis employed in the Inland Revenue Department. He took part in the recent lockers strike, addresses meetings on socialism every Sunday, and writes for the Socialist paper, Justice. On ono occasion he went to political meeting and spoke in favor of Radical candidate. His chief heard of it, he was reported, and the Commissioners cen sured him and reduced him in rank. 7heV Woldd tolerate red-h0t socialism, but trOuld not stand politics.
 "Another leader of the Socialists in London is Sydney Webb, who has written q monograph on socialism in England for the Johns Hopkins University series of economic publications. Mir. Webb is employed in the Colonial Office, and has a salary of $3,00O, His office hours are from 10 to 3, and he devotes the major part of his leisure to odisseminatingSocial- ist ideas He lectures several times week, but does nos go into the street or the park He belongs to the highe> grade of Socialists. He has been cautioned more than once, but says he takes no part in politics. He only speaks and writes on economic science,' alias socialism. The conditions which civil servants accept on entering the service prevent them from exercising their political convictions actively, but no precautions were evidently taken against the propagation of s0Cialim.
 "There are other Socialists in the em- plOyment of the Government. Edmund Gosse, the poet, who lectures on literat- ure and is European editor of an Ameri- can newspaper syndicate, is also in the civil service. He occupies a lucrative place as translator in the Board ofTrade."
 How long this remarkable toleration will last in England cannot be predicted. In this country government employe that would profess socialistic opinions might expect, as matter of course. to be dismissed immediately. And yet, at the risk of causing in the office of our esteemed contemporary (whose chief editor, by the way, is a renegade Social. ist), far greater commotion than was produced by the statements of its Lon- don correspondent, we shall commit the indiscretion of revealing the fact that a considerable portion of the clerical force in Washington is impregnated with socialism.
 Upon the able men in inferior positions actually devolves the task of conducting the affairs of the government. The politicians above them know little, if anything, of the practical questions

achievement and that of their more en- frightened brothers. But these two facts do not alter the nature of the conflict. They are incl dental to it-episodes in the great epic and they intensify, rather than at tenuate, the sharp lines upon which the mighty struggle is progressing To the end of it, it will be Labor against Capi- tai, though number of capitalists may fight on the side of labor, and number of laborers on the side of capital.
 There is another part of Mr. Lloyd's eloquent address that we cannot allow to pass without objection. After de- picting the wrongs of the present com petitive system; after declaring that i've are on the eve of great things" to be brought about by the labor move ment; after predicting "that the antiquated institutions, political econ, omles and property founded on the hatred of man for man. will soon dis. appear, he concludes as follows: cor ganized Labor the world over has put aside all sweeping projects of social re- | construction, giving no ear to the pas sionate indignation with which the great seer5, prophets and poets are cry ing out against the oppression of the weak; it says simply to it's employer !: give us a little more time every day to think let us work but eight hours a day"
 There is here glaring inconsistency The sober truth is, that at no previous time did Organized Labor stand upon | principles so advanced as those which it now professes; and that the great seers, prophets and poets who but lately took up it's cause would still be as dumb as statues if it had not first filled the air with it's loud complaints aye, shaken the earth, sometimes. by it's efforts to be free.
 It may serve the purpose of Organized Labor, here and now, to take issue with Capital upon a single point-and this point shorter workday. Itmay serve it admirably by swelling it's ranks with large numbers of heretofore unorganized wage-workers, who seldom contemplate the possibility of improving their con- dition, but can readily be made to understand the benefit and practicability of reduction of the hours of toll Let this alone be accomplished and great step will have been taken toward final emancipation.
 But it may serve no good purpose to represent Organized Labor in the atti. tude of beggar humbly praying tc Capital for a shorter workday. The capitalist class cannot be bamboozled into granting such "favor" by the same tactics of false pretenCe and hipoc risy in which it is so proficient. Know ing that every improvement in the con- dition of the working people is ground of vantage for further demands, and that no single improvement would be SC well calculated to open vistas of higher possibilities, it will not grant this unti Labor is sufficiently organized to compel acquiescence.
 And when it IS so organized, we make bold to predict that, conscious at last of its full power, Labor will demand its full rights.

 At the head of the subscription blank it is stated, that "the Eueninq World hopes to be able to introduce the joys of the day into the lives of at least 50, GOO poor children of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City" The appeal for money, it may be observed, is addressed!to the employees of establishments - wage wor kers, in whose ranks are the fathers and mothers of the 50,000 poor children.
 An ingenious mountebank, this Joe Pulitzer, who finds in the misery of the poor an opportunity of advertising his trashy newspaper at the expense of the poor themselves!
 Think of 50000 babies, ragged, cold, hungry, sickly, deprived of all by the social system that Pulitzer upholds, made happy by Pulitzer with Pulitzer dolls, contributed by their own disin- herited class
 In few ears most of these babies will be happier than Pulitzer can make them. They will be dead. Of those who may survive tn, Pulitzer dolls, some will be seen Tn the streets, as hungry, as cold, as ragged as ever, peddling Pulitzer's trash, that they will not have learned to read.

The circulation of the WORKMEN's S ADVOCATE is increasing at great rate. Organized Labor begins to realize that it has a true friend, and only one, among the many newspapers of this city; that is, paper published, owned and edited by wage workers, in the in- terest of wage-workers, advocating practical measures for the benefit of wage.workers, with view to the final abolition of wage-slavery.
 To the great discontinue of the old parties, the labor organizations of Rhode Island are taking steps in tine direction of independent political action. They have an advantage that we do not yet possess in New York; and that is, a daily newspaper owned and controlled by Labor. The Ereniag CdH. of Provi- vidence, is published by the Typographi. cal Union of that city. It takes broad views of every question and is not afraid of bold principles.

To the W0rhmen's Aduocdte.
 I have just received from friend in Boston your article Impending Evils" in which you take the right view as to the cost at which this country is rapidly acquiring preponderance in the cotton industry. We work people of Fall River know something of that cost; for, as you correctly observe the burden of competition between capitalists, whether international or domestic, always falls upon the broad shoulders of labor. And so, while the profits of corporate bosses on this side of the Atlantic are as great as ever, the wages of the operatives are constantly decreasing.
 l showed your article to several intel ligent weavers here. One of them-an Englishman-expres some doubts as to the ability of the United States to ever surpass England in the cotton in- dustry. Can you produce any figures showing the relative progress of the two countries?
 WEAVER. Fall River Mass.
 Ten years ago the mills of the United States consumed about 100000 bales of cotton; now they consume 2,700000 bales-an increase of about 100000 bales, or so per cent.
 Ten years ago the mills of Great Britain consumed about 3,200,000 bales of cotton now they consume 3,S0OD00 bales-an increase of less than 19 per cent.
 In 1879 the United States produced 5,700,0 bales of cotton on cultivated area of fourteen million acres. Of this production our mills consumed. as afore- said, 1,5OO,OOO bales, or 27 per cent.
 This year we produced 1,400,000 bales on cultivated area of nineteen million acres. Of this our mills consumed, as aforesaid, 2,700,0O0 bales, or nearly 37 per cent.
 That this enormous increase in the cotton industry of the United States, as compared with the relatively small increase of the same industry in Great Britain, was chiefly promoted by the low wages paid here, will appear clearly from the following facts, stated offiei-

Lady Teachers of Painting.

In recent years the question of what sort of
work is woman best fitted to perform has
been an interesting theme for general dis
cussion And yet havo never seen in public
print fact that is potent to all artists who
have hal opportunities for personal observa-
tion in t1at line, and that is that a woman
with talent and ability an artist excels as
a teacher of art. Especially is this true in
the lighter work, such as crayon portraits,
etc Where strength is needed it is probable
that nun will lead, but where delicacy is
called into requisition the gentler sex have
the call. There are very few lady teachers
of portrait painting, and the demand for
their services is great. Many st. Louis artists
can vouch for the statement that dozens of
pupils seeking lady teacher are turned away
disappointed every week in the year. Here
is broad and profitable field for ambitious
women.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
