JERSEY CITY.
lnitiatOry Political Action of Jersey
City Heights Section.

Last Tuesday brought a new element
into Jersey City politics. The Socialist
Section Jersey City Heights had local
ticket in the field (4th Assembly Dis
trict), and polIed 104 votes out of total
of 1900. All the polls in the district
were manned by our comrades, and ex-
celent discipline was maintained A
noticeable thing was the digni6ed de-
pertinent of the Socialist election COM
mitteemen, which was in marked con-
trast with the drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct of the bummers who
served the Doodle parties.
During the campaign thousands of
manifestos were distributed, and the
people of Jersey City Heights made aC-
quainted with socialist principles. Our
comrades are well satisfied with the re-
suits, and their war cry is Forward"
They propose to stay.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.
The Socialist Labor Party Active at
the Polls.

The Socialists of Milwaukee have
again made record at the polls. A
City Judge and Clerk of Court, besides
Aldermen, Supervisors and Constahles,
were to be elected, and the Socialist
Labor Party took a hand. Comrade
Valentine J. Beatty was the candidate
for Judge, and Gustave Lauensteln for
Clerk. while the 9Th, Sth, 10Th, 18th and
14th Wards had candidates for the other
offices mentioned. The close of the
day. which was generally observed as n
holiday by our comrades, showed that
420 votes had been cast for Blatz, But
it appears that the rascals at most of
the voting places made false returns,
thus cheating the Socialist candidate out
of half their votes The Socialist Elec.
tion Committee will make investigation
and dispute the election in the courts if
positive information can be obtained,
In large number of precincts no re-
turns whatever of socialist votes were
made, and citizens who voted the
straight ticket in those precincts have
been invited to testify. At any rate,
our comrades of Milwaukee are in the
political field to stay, and the boodlers
will find that they will have to reckon
with the Party at every election.

diCtOry part as this is fully able to aid
in the nomination of bogus candidate
for mayor such as Mr.. Gross, under in
structions from the ''republican" ma.
chine, and, at the same time, help the
democratic party, by secretly urging in
person and by letter every delegate he
thought he could influence in that con-
nection to work for the nomination of
Lawyer Mcdonnell for Judge.
Mr. Schilling was at the Socialist La
Dor Party's convention, attempting to
influence members in MCConnel's be-
half, as stated in the ADVOCATE. The
Section cannot understand how Mr..
Schllling can be honestly indignant at
the statement published in the ADVo-
CATE, while he stands convicted over
his own signature of attempting to in
duce our members to support Mcconnell,
a candidate of the democratic" party,
and above all the special nominee of the
Bar Association, an organization that
only few months ago nominated and
reelected Judge Gary, the man whose
outrageous rulings murdered the anar.
chists," and which still more recently
nominated the scoundrel Grinnell and
aided in electing him to the position of
Judge.
1t is the opinion of the Section that
it makes no difference whether it was
for Mr.. Gross, the republican" or for
Mr.. Mcconnell, the democrat" that
Mr.. Schilling labored; he was working
for the enemy, and in doing this secretly
Mr.. Schilling forfeits the respect of even

COMMITTEE JOINT SECTIONS.
Perhaps, when the workingmen
of Chicago fully appreciate the utter
worthlessness and degradation of
these so-called leaders, who "palter
in a double sense and intrigue with
avowed enemies of the honest and
above-board politics of the Socialist
Party, they will make up their
minds to stand out as good citizens,
boldly asserting honest socialist
principles, and go to the polls at
every opportunity to vote as they
think in the regular American way.
This is the way to obtain redress,
and any blatant demagogue who at
tempts to influence the voters to re-
pudiate the ballot and agitate for
war" or who, by lying and in
trigue, and "ways that are dark, :"
endeavors to steer the orkingmen
into corrupt political combinations,
must be branded and made imp0S-
sible Anarchy and political dema
goguery will have no place with the
straight-out Socialists of Chicago.

PROVIDENCE, r. |.

The success which | predicted in the
ADVOCATE several weeks ago would re-
suit from the activity of the members of
the American Section, S. L. p; of this
city, is being realized.
March Sd, Mr.. Griffin, of Boston, ad d.
dressed highly appreclative audience
on the eight-hour question. Mr.. Griffin
is very forcible and logical speaker
He believes that shortening the hours of
labor is necessary for mans moral, men
tai, physical and social development;
that the workingman should have more
leisure to study and solve the labor
problem and thereby destroy the capt.
alist Sphinx that is devouring men and
women and children. and will continue
so to do until the riddle is solved. We
should keep in view the fact that the
reduction of the hours of labor to eight
hours per day is not the end but the
means to an end.
April 7th, Mrs. S. H. Merrfeld, Or
ganizer of the American Section, S. l..
p, of Boston, was greeted by large
and intelligent audience. Every seat
was occupied. Mrs. Merrifeld held the
attention of the audience from the
commencement until the close of the
lecture, and the frequent and hearty ap-
plause which greeted her remarks indi-
Gated how thoroughly she had won the
sympathy of her hearers.
The results of the agitation meetings
are that names of new members have
been added to the roll, and new life and
hope has been infused into the organi-
zation. F. b.

wise TO attempt to give the readers of
our paper even synopsis of these
lectures, for we could not do them JUS,
tice Our lecturer has such richness of
thought, and expresses it in connection
with 50 much fact that the audiences
are enlightened and enthusiastic. We
hear rumOrs that Mr. Garside was ac-
cuSed of anarchism, but the logical
manner of his speech, his sharp criti-
cism and sound philosophy, convince us
that his critics were mistaken.
Was his visit here beneficial to the
5. l., F.? Our answer is: Yes. without
doubt. Besides the organization of an
American Section, the seed of thought
has been sown that will bear good
fruit. We would suggest that Comrade
Garside remain in cities of the size of
Cincinnati about four weeks, for we
think the result would be great growth
of socialism and comprehension Of
the wrong and misery of the capi-
tallst system. o.,

GARSlDE'S TOUR
Attacked by Nervous Prostration-
Well Again and on the Road.

Prof. Garside has had a season Of
successful agitation in indianapolis,
though his health gave way before he
left the city. Two physicians were
called to his assistance, who pronounced
him suffering from nervous prOstration,
and said that only good constitution
could pull him through. Under good
care at the home Of Comrade RappoPort

CINCINNATI.

Cincinnati has been compared to
Rome in more than one particular-both
"cities of seven hills" both had the
church for boss, and the general spirit
of the labor movement was probably the
the same in each.

up the Rip van Winkels. The subjects of
his lectures were: The Wage System" 3"

The recently organized American Sec
ton held its first meeting last Monday
evening, and the organizer, Comrade
Hemler announced the receipt of the
charter and supplies from the National
Executive, which was greeted with a
cheer. The foundation for library
was made, and librarian elected. An
agitation committee will be elected at
next meeting to work jointly with a
similar committee from the German
Section. These two committees will
form the City Committee. The men,

over the organization of an American
Section in Cincinnati. Comrade Jacob

WOUNDED INNOCENTS.

The bogus labor party, which was
organized (O as a sort of razzle-
dazzle fake by few anarchists, rea-
sonably and strongly suspected of
boodling tendencies, didn't pan out
with votes, however it may have re-
suited to its owners, and the rather
plump language used in the Work
MEMS ADVOCATE last week seems to
have offended some of the innocent
anarchists. Here is a letter exhibit
ing the virtrous indignation dis
played by one of them, and which
will remind the reader of similar
bursts of injured innocence from
others of the same strip 1t was
addressed to the treasurer of the
German Section, and by him handed
to the joint meeting of the Sections.
This meeting ordered it sent to the
WORKMEN's ADVOCATE with sub
joined statement:

from this city headed "Chicago Polit-

catch 1.-The nimble dollar" | can only
surmise the source from which this base
falsehOod emanates, as he is too cow
ardly to sign his name. repudiate un-
qualitiedly the charge that | had any
connection with the nomination of Mr..
Gross, and | am willing to submit the
matter to a responsible court of inquiry,
consisting of such men as yourself,
Knefel and Eckford, and should there
be any proof substantiating this base

The Gross referred to is specu-

spoken of may not have been as
nimble after all-perhaps it stuck.
Then, again, it is possible that it
dawned upon the bashful candidate
that it was poor policy to exchange a
good dollar for bad Schilling.
THE SECTIONS STATEMENT.
| The Socialist Sections state that they
have no knowledge of the publication
of the charge Mr.. Schilling complains of
or of the part taken by him at the

following:
The Section has documentary proof
that Mr.. Schilling, who, while actively
agitating for anarchy, hid himself un-
der the name socialist, and while vigor-
ously repudiating political action and
! denouncing the ballot as a fraud, was
running around day and night to Sc
cure the nomination and election of
active members of the democratic
party.

reformer who could play such contra

THE SURVEY OF THE RIVER

what Has been Done ON the MissEs-
slppi the Past season by the Com
mt ssiop.
The permanent survey of the Missis>
sippi river is being pushed by Capt. @. F.
Powell of the Mississippi river commits
sion. and all the work to be done in that
direction this season is completed. Capt.
Powell's men will be ordered to recon-.
mence at once the survey where they left
off few months ago. at Chester, Ill.
This survey was ordered by congress
about IL years ago. and as designated,
was to extend from the head of the
passes to the headwaters of the river. II
has been completed from the passes to
Chester. and it is expected that the field
party that will begin work soon will
reach the mouth Of the Missouri river be-
fore the rivers close.
BY this survey the character of the
banks and the bottom of the stream are
noted. and observations are taken on the
amount of sediment and discharge at diff
ferent places. The survey is extended to
the bluffs on either side of the river if
they are within mile and half of the
banks. 1t was begun in 1873 by Gen .
Comstock. who supervised it for two
years. The Mississippi river commission
was then organized and took charge OF
the work. They now have two sets of
maps of the survey as far as it is CONS
pleted One shows the river at its usual
height and the other the alluyial section
of the basin. The final Autograph mar
of the survey will be printed in short
time.
This survey. when completed, will give
the government comprehensive krowl.
edge of the Mississippi river and it,
basin. 1t will be invaluable in enabling
the commission to improve the river sys
tematically and at the least possible cost
All local surveys that are made necessar,
in the future by change in the course o
the river. or the lodging of sediment a
any poin. will be based on this survey
The knowledge obtained by it is also
valuable to cities along the river and rail
roads
