age-hunting opponent the "demo-
cratic party.
The Socialists, far from entertain
ing ideas of scgrcgating Themselves
from The rest Of their fellow-cltlzens,
actually expect to prove a social
Icayen in the evolution and Their
doctrine, have already shown them
selves to be scientific, and have been
acknowledged again and again by
observers. Why then, should a
party consciously moving forward to
victory beat q retreat and hide them
selves in the wilderness? That
would be most unsocialistiC.
Under the present system social
lists must perforco continue in the
practice Of things to them repug-
nant and some of them have sought
to better their condition, or at least
avoid direct contact with the com
mcrciaist world by forming colonies,
such as the "Kaweah, described
! elsewhere in this issue. But such
is not the policy of the Socialist
Party. Individual socialists also have
become capitalists and employers,
but not in obedience to party tactics.
They simply live according to The
compelling forces of the present sys
TEN. Whether they become colo
nists or capitalists, true socialists
will still continue to use all legltl
mate means to alter social conditions
and therefore the Socialist Party
prominently labor party IN the
best sense, have become an aCtlv,
political party, joining issue with all
other parties, and openly and fairly
contending for supremacy in the
political field, confident of the gu
prcmacy of their principles in the
realm Of reason.
A "fuir field and no favors' vii
satisfy socialists, though that is per.
haps much more than they SHOULD
expect from the class of people wht
may influence or be influenced b,

IMPROVING THE CREED.

4 Washington clergyman, Alex
andcr Kent, has had the courage to
express himself in a manner unusual
with his brothers Of the cloth as to
the conditions which labor should
enjoy. In doing 50 he practically
condemns the militant Christianity
of the day, but, at the same time,
would elevate the creed to IA position
of responsibility. in the course Of
a sermon before his congregation, on
the 24th ult., he said, assuming
that the life of men should be min
| lstry or service to manklnd
"A Christian system of industry must
furnish opportunity for such service to
! every member of society. There must
bee "A place ready for every worker-a
place into which he may enter at once
and put into practice the principles in
stllIed into his mind during the period
of preparation. II would not be a
Christian system of industry that neg
lected to make such provision, much
less would it be Christian if it should
actually operate to shut the faithful
worker out, and oblige him to renounce
his whole principle of service III order
to get in.
"A Christian system Of industry must
furnish opportunity to each for the kind
of service which his tastes, his gifts,
his requirements best fit him to render
for the law which holds us to service
| holds us equally to the best service 1t is
| in our power to give That would not be;
a Christian system which would keep a
Newton carrying "A hod, or a Collyer
working at the forge Each must have
"A chance To give of his best.
"A Christian system of industry must
require such service of all who are able
to render H. If any man will not work,
neither should he eat. In the last anal
Uses the application of Christian prlnci-
| pies to social organisms means the sur
vival of the tittest, As nothing else does.
" \ Christian system of industry must
| give to each such share of the proceeds
of the common toll as will best serve
| the ends of individual and social life,
l. C., of life in each and life in all. What
that is do not here undertake to say
only insist that the least given shall
be fully adequate to the real needs of
! life III its large sense, in each, and SO
fully satisfy the demands Of justice that
it will work toward life, in the same
| large sense, IN all.
Evidently this clergyman has stud
led other books besides those fur
nished by the theological departments
of our orthodox colleges. Evidently,
also. he is not an intellectual fossil.
Socialist doctrine and his idea of
Christianity are remarkably alike in
some things.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Do you know that improved ma
chinery, which in the hands Of sell
fish capitalists has thrown 50 many
of you and us out of employment
and reduced us to a state of Deepen
dcnce and beggary, if applied rs an
auxiliary to our labor in developing
the natural resources would supply
us with more of the necessities and
comforts of life than we could pos
sibIy use?
Do you know that under the pres
cnt system Of society and govern
ment, the land, the basis of all
wealth, is drifting into the hands Of
monopolists (many of whom are
foreign capitalists), and that they
are holding it for the purpose Of en-
shaving the present and future gen
erations rs has been done in Ireland
and other portions Of Europe?
DO you know that they who pos
scss the land, the tools Of produc-
ton and distribution, hold in their
hands the lives and destiny of the
nation, and can decree whether we
shall have an abundance or whether
we shall starve ? Industrial JOur-
nal.

NOT .UTOPIANS.

Inc lHlCagO IFtOHHC OF tnc ZObn
ult. advises Socialists to segregatc
themselves from society and form
communities composed entirely of
socialists. This idea is an old one
but is not socalistic. FOuriorlsm IS
practically dead, and belongs to the
experimental period in the develop
ment of the socialist idea.
One might as well have advised
the republicans before the war to
segrcgate themselves and establish
colonies where no black slavery
could exist. The Socialist Party are
here to stay, to agltate and propa-
gate their theories and policies, and
to draw from the people more and
more converts to their cause. Nor
do the Socialist Party propose to
make their movement mere antago-
nlsm to present conditions and Gus
toms. Theirs is a constructive pro-
gram, but it does not contemplate
construction out of nothing, nor do
the Socialists foster Ctoplan dreams.
On the contrary, they know that the
results Of the past activities Of the
people, the accumulated wealth pro-
duccd by labor must be used as q
founG for the future upbulld-
ing of the means of civilization as
progress in intelligence and It's nc
companying demands will require.
Socialists, in common with " tn,
rest of us, are fully able to appre
clatc the good things which the
labor of ages has provided, and they
will hardly deny themselves thu
rights and opportunities accorded t

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.
The Hill Divorce Case Again---A
Justices KEGS

The Hill divorce case, in which, on
March 5, Judge Lochren filed an order
granting new trial, unless Mrs. Hill,
the plaintiff, should release the $4,000
alimony within twenty days, came up
yesterday afternoon Oh an order to show
why the husband should not paw the
costs of the case, which is setofOr this
term. The court ordered the defendant
to pay $50 for expenses.
Yesterday it was decided thata Justice
is entitled to the regular fees for max
ing out a transcript of evidence in a
case when it is appealed from him to
the district court. There was some
question as to whether the statutes in
tended the justice to get more than his
So fee when he was obliged to return
the transcript with the appeal so all
the justices of the city agreed to test
matter at the first opportunity. The
case of ii. d. Wood against Sawbridge
and Little offered it and the decision
was favorable to the justices.
The case of c. E. Rogers against Jo-
Seph G. GUIDE and the one of John II.
Avery against ex-Sheriff Swenson to

WASHBURN HIRED HIM.
A Scandal Growing Out of the
Senatorial Fight.


Senatorial Fight.
George Dahl has filed papers in the
municipal court in suit to recover S3OS,
with interest, from w. d. Washburn,
the sum being alleged to be due for
services performed in the interests and
at the instance and special request of
defendant during the recent sena-
torial contest. The complaint alleges
that Washburn asked the plaintiff
to work for him in the cam
paign and agreed to pay for the
services. The plaintiff further alleges
that he has expended $3.50 for neces-
Sary expenses while performing said
work, services and labor, and has also
loaned and paid out in the interests of
defendant S46.50. and that in spite of the
TACT that payment of all the indebted
ness enumerated was promised previous
to the time of the performance of the
work, no part OF it has ever been, with
the exception Of $40, Notwithstanding
the fact that frequent demands have
been made. The defendant has filed no
answer as yet. When it comes to trial
some of the true inwardness of the
great senatorial contest of 1879 may be
brought to light.
Mr.. Dahl. who puts such a high value
Oh his work and influence as directed
towards the election of Senator Wash
burn, is renegade Democrat and a de-
serter from the ranks of the Algonquin
club. He supported Merriam in the
late state contest, and it seems, from his
complaint was hired to work for Mr..
Washburn when his case came up for
trial before the representatives of the
people.

BRIDGING TRACKS,
Vociferous Appeals From Bryn
MaWr and NlcOllet Island.

There were something less that $1,000
citizens of the district lying east of
Bryn Mawr, with few representing the
district included in that park and sew
eral other people before the council
committee on roads and bridges yester-
day to urge the necessity of construct
ing bridge over the railroad tracks at
Ontario avenue, and of opening the
avenue through the land owned
by the Monitor Plow company
to Bryn Mawr. All the property owners
beyond the track favored the scheme,
and some on this side also thought it
was good thing, while the pillow COM
pany opposed any such action very
forcibly. representing that it would be
great damage to it. On motion of Aid.
Bradish it was finally moved to defer
all action in the matter of bridging the
tracks, but to recommend that Ontario
avenue be opened through the pillow
works tract.
Citizens of the north end of Nicollet
island also appeared with an almost
unanimously signed petition asking
for bridge over the Manitoba tracks
where they cross Nicollet street, as the
only way of getting off the island is by
crossing these tracks, and the number
of trains which pass daily makes it eX-
tremely dangerous. The committee
recommended that such a bridge be
huilt

CITY HALL GHOSTS.

In spite of the fact that he no longer
holds public office, Bob Erwin pops up
at regular intervals in the city hall. sits
on the desks and gives out his views on
good city government in a way that
leaves no doubt as to his being con-
WINGED that they are entirely correct.
EX-Police Commissioner John BaXter's
lack of employment and patriotic inter
est in public affairs are very evident
from the amount of time per day that
his attenuated proportions are festooned
over the furniture in the council cham
Der and the various offices in the build
ing.
Charlie Carnman, too, seems to find
congenial company and bracing air
around the city hall. in spite of the in
tensely Republican air that pervades
the building. and his silk tile looks
very familiar. as he lodges through the
corridors or button-holeS an alderman in
q doorway.
I. f. Andrews seems to regard him
self as an eX-ofiicio member of the now
defunct water board, and has been in
tcnsely excited by the attack of the
ribald Tribune upon the purity Of Mis-
SiSSippi water.

CASUAL REMARKS.

A Patrolman-One of the hardest
things we have to deal with IS the crowd
of loafers and lOungers who congregate
on the sunny corners. They persist in
hanging around in spite of all that we
can do, and you can just imagine that it
is very annoying. Nearly all the men
are we'll dressed and intelligent look
ing, and it really seems as though they
ought to know better.
Kennedy BroS.-The GLOBE manage
ment has succeeded in making a great
paper. We've been running a small
advertisement for four weeks. and
every day we get from five to ten letters
asking for catalogues and the like.
These letters come from Minnesota,
Iowa, Dakota, Manitoba and Wisconsin.
The circulation of the paper must be
immense.
Henry E. Blaisdell-What the East
side needs more tnan anything else is
lot of cottages or tenementS which can
be rented for from SIS to SIS per month.
A man who would build a lot of such
buildings would make fortune for
himself, besides doing the East side a
world of good.
Aid Woodward-It looks very much
as if the Monitor Plow Works company
was making this kick against opening
Ontario avenue simply with view to
claiming big damages when it is done.
w. q. Maxey-One o1the great needs
OF this city is small manufactures, and
they would spring up all around if they
had any convenient and inexpensive
way of Securing power to operate
plants. That is just what the Edison
company wants to give, and still the
aldermen hold back. Then all this kick
about motors and street cars would be
stopped, as Mr.. Lowry is waiting
for our pant to be put in working

ALL SORTS.

Some one wants to know why the
enormous COST of allowing the sheriff
of Hennepin county $1,000 as expense
for hanging the Barretts. 1t is custom
in Minnesota to allow sheriff $500 for
hanging a man, out of which amount he
is to pay expenses. The sheriff proba-
bly, makes something out of it, but few
would care to perform his disagreeable
duty for the amount, whatever it is.
