GETTING THERE ANYHOW.
Don't Like State Socialism, But Creep
ing Toward 1t.

A writer in one of the Boston pa
pers who says he is afraid Of State
Socialism, creeps toward that condi-
ton in this very cautious manner:
"In a recent letter upon the eight
hour movement Mr.. Edward Atkin-
son opposes legislation in this direc-
tion, on the ground that such legis-
Iation would restrict individual lib
erty. This raises question Of far
more importance than eight hours.
Is industrial legislation the friend or
foe of liberty? This is the ques-
ton, and it is the question of the
times. In Germany Bismarck, with
his State insurance, seems to be
stealing the thunder of Karl Marx;
in England, Conservative, Liberal
and Radical leaders vie with one
another in obtaining the political
credit of introducing industrial bills:
in our own land, the interstate COM
merce act attempts ct control OF
trusts. The speeches at the banquet
of the Boston Merchants Associa-
tion all indicate that we have
reached a point in our national de-
velopment where, at least in the
opinion of many, it is no longer safe
to leave the conduct of our indus
tries to the play of unfettered pri-
vate interests, but where industry
must be controlled by the strong
hand of governmental legislation.
1t is safe to say that no more import
ant question was ever before the
American people, affecting as it does
the rights, the intere ;, the liberties,
not of one class, but every citizen.
1t is essentially too, mora question.
Legislative control of ind try may
or may not increase the total prod
uct Of our national wealth, bat all
parties agree that that is not the
question at issue. The question is
one of distribution, and not of pro.
duction. The question is not how
may we, as a nation, produce more
wealth, but how may we more
equitably distribute the wealth We
haye-how may We develop among
all classes individual strength Of
character, education, general fnan
cial prosperity, security and inde-
pendence:

DEAR SIR:-Would you kindly insert
the card | enclose, in your paper? |
think you will find it not opposed to
your views but helping them from a lit
tie different position.
Yours in the Brotherhood Of Human
ity, W. D. BLISS.
While we may not fully appreciate
the value of mixing religion and
politics, we grant this request, even
if it results in similar ones from the
Mohammedans, Jews, Buddhists,
Mormons, SplrItualists, Georgeites,
Anti-povertyites and others. Yet
we have never heard in the politics
of our country of organizations of
Christian "republlcans," ," Jewish
"greenbackers,' or Mormon "dem-
ocrats. 1t would seem that Christ
lanlty don't 90 well with such p0lt-
tics. But with socialsm-well,
here is the Rev. Mr.. Bi8s's card:
1t is proposed by some in Chicago and
in Boston to start a society Of Christian
socialists 1t is not proposed to antagon-
ize other socialist or nationalist societies,
but while agreeing with them on their
economic platform, at least as far as es-
sental socialism goes excluding the 18th
plank of the Socialist Labor Party; it is
proposed to make this society distinctly
Christian, basing our socialism on the
fatherhoOd of God and the resultant
brotherhood of man, and trying to carry
it out in the spirit of Him who was the
first born among many brethren-Who
taught Us not to compete each for his
own good but to be "members one of
another Any who are interested in
this view, and without binding them
selves to enter such an organization,
would like to consider it and know about
it, are invited Especially clergymenl, to
send their names and addresses and any
suggestions to

AGITATION NOTES.

Wemay look to Pittsburg for defn-
ite agitation in the future; the close
proximity of Allegheny city should
be means Of strong united effort.
We hear from Chicago that there
never was 50 wide and deep an aglta-
tion amongst the people in that city
as has been produced from Gar
sides lectures. Good for Chicago.
The city is on the Qui ojoe.
GarSide was pointed out in Chi
cago hotel rs "that socialist who is
disturbing the city.
If the signs of the times are any
good then nothing can stop the
wheels of our progress, the car Of
civilization will ever roll on.
A comrade in Chicago received
from the Single Tax petition people
in New York a number of blanks;
he signed one of them and sent the
others all signed back to New York,
saying that socialists signed them
not believing in the means as a theory
but as means of agitation. They
were returned without comment.
Silence is sometimes wonderfully
expressive.

AUSTRIA.
Socialist Party Congress at Hahn
feld-Their Demands.

The Socialist Party Congress re-
Gently held at Halnfeld is reported
as having been a complete success in
every respect, SiXty-sevon dele
gates from all parts Of the empire
answered roll call. The German
and various Slavic languages were
spoken. The platform was adopted
with but one contrary vote, and
subsequently, the proceedings were
marked with an enthusiastic unan-
unity.
While delegate DR.. Adler, of vi
enna, was speaking upon the condi-
ton of the peoples rights in Aus
tria, the Government Chief of the
Department entered the hall to see
that the delegates were all author
lied to be present according to
Austrian law. After he had salts
fled himself on that point he was in
vited to remain and witness the pro-
ceedings, which he did. DR.. Adler
then continued his remarks,
Resolutions we've adopted declar-
ing that the limitation of the free
dom Of expressing opinion, as well
as the monopolization Of political
rights were damaging to natural de-
veIopment; therefore absolute free
dom for socialist agitation and prop
aganda in various ways was demand
ed, in order to make the peaceful
organization of the proletariat posi-
bic. Universal suffrage with secret
ballot was also demanded.

50 much about socialism for years.

as evidence this is true. The first

more so than Sunday. There the
agitation was secured in its success.
"Never was there a more successful
meeting in this city," said COM
rade, new members added, and
everybody awakened. None dar-
ing to make us afraid, the city is
now relieved from the unbridled

EditOr N'0rhmen's AdrOcdte;

EdH0r U0rhmenS Adrocdte:
Professor Garside's agitation in
this city inspires us with hopes of
better progress for the future, The
lamentsble apathy of the past is van
ishing before the eloquent orator,
and instead of the same anxious
faces seen at our past meetings our
audiences have been crowded and
thickly sprinkled with many new
faces beaming with delight, perhaps
because it was the first time IN their
lives that socialism was presented to
them scientifically. 1t is clear that
the principles of socialism will spread
rapidly when presented as they are
by Professor Garside, and the more
thoughtful of those who imagined
they were anarchists who have at
tended his meetings seem delighted
with his exposition of socialism, and
it is to be hoped that he will be able
to dispel their gloomy theories and
inpel them to take part in the agi-
tation for socialism.
A committee of the Socialist Sec
tions waited upon Mayor Roche re-
questing him to prevent the police
from interfering with their arrange
ments for meetings. His answer
was that he had nothing against So
ciaIi8ts, but had no sympathy for
anarchists. The principles Of social
ism were carefully explained to him,
and he said 20 on and hold your
meetings. Mayor Roche seems to

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
The Leader of the Mineral Point Band
Presented with a Silver Tea Set.

On Thursday evening of last week,
Adam Dresser, who has been the sue
cessful leader of the Mineral Point
band for the last ten years, was pre-
sented with very elegant silver tea
set, upon whic was inscribed the fol-
lowing: Presented to Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Dresser by the Minera, Point Band"
The present was made to him as token
of their appreciation of his skill as
musician and ability as band leader.
and of his faithful and persistent
work in the interests of the organiza-
ton. When he arrived at the band
room he found the others all present,
and was completely surprised by
being made the recipient of their
handsome and present, by the words of
kindness and esteem which accompa-
r.ed the presentation of the same.
The presentation was made by Mr.
ECtuluci Jehhlu, VIII LIDS OcCH d Hull
Der of the band for over forty years,
and who during all that time has I'M
selfshly given his time and his skill
as a musician to its advancement.
Ten years ago Mr.. Jenkin resigned
the leadership of the band in favor of
a younger man, the present leader, Mr..
Dresser, whose eminent fitness for the
position has since been abundantly
attested to by the remarkable success
and high standing attained by the
band. Mr.. Jenkin said:
FRIEND DREsEN:-The members of
the Mineral Point band, respectfully
request me to present you with this
table set, in consideration of your very
valuable services, and for your untir-
ing industry and able leadership in
bringing this, the Mineral Point band,
up to its present musical standard.
We do not desire you to think that its
intrinsic value is in any way adequate
for your very valuable services, as we
simply present it to you in consider
alton of our high esteem for yourself
as our leader and our high regard for
you musician, friend and gentleman.
Mr. Dresser returned his thanks in
appropriate words.

FIRE AT DARLINGTON.
The Fine Residence Of Hon. H. H. Gray
Totally DESTROYED.

On Wednesday morning the large
and handsome residence of Hon. H. II.
Gray, of Darlington, was totally de-
stroyed by fire. The fire originated
from the kitchen stove and was dis
covered shortly before seven O'Clock,
but not until it had made considerable
Roadway inside of the building, and
the smoke and flames had burst upon
the outside before an alarm could be
given. The building was situated
nearly half a mile from the bust
ness portion Of the city, and out of
reach of the water works. A large
crowd gathered, but it was soon ap-
parent that all efforts to save the
building would be futile. The con-
tents of the rooms on the first floor
were mostly saved, but many things
in the second story were consumed.
There was some insurance on the
building, but we have not learned the
amount. Mr.. Gray returned from the
west only short time ago, and had
a new furnace put in, new chimneys
built. and was making other improve
ments, when the fire fiend seized upon
and destroyed the entire structure.
1t was a beautiful residence, built
about twenty-three years ago, and its
destruction is not only a great loss
to Mr.. Gray and family but occasions
them great inconvenience. As Mr..
Gray has large business interests in the
west it was at first feared that that he
would not rebuild in Darlington, but
we understand that he has expressed
determination to do so, fact which
will crafty not only the people of his
home city, but also his many friends
throughout southwest Wisconsin,
