MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL.
The Agitation in the Twin Cities.
Inquisitive Audiences.

On Sunday, the 9th inst, in the after
noon, Prof. Garside lectured to the Sec
ular Society on Priestcraft," and a
very interesting and suggestive discourse
it was. He was warmly applauded,
thanked by vote and made many new
friends. In the evening he gave the
fourth lecture of his course at Window
! MI o the largest audience he had hith
erto had. "The Coming Crisis" was
the topic, and it was well handled.
There was 'lots of fun" at the close of
the lecture in the shape of questions
easier asked than answered. On Mon
day evening Mr.. Garsde Iectured in st.
Paul, and on Tuesday evening the scene
OF his exploits was the new Labor Tenn
pie, large building built and owned by
an association of wOrkingmen and which
enterprise is a credit to them. The
principal hall will seat about 1000 per
sons and we had an excellent audience.
" Evolution and Revolution" was the
topic and the lecture contained the
philosophy of the great sOCialistic move
ment and showed the folly of trying to
force events out OF their natural Sc
quenCe. The reorganization of the Amer
lean Section Of the Party was COM
menCed after the meeting was over,
which, by the way, was completed at
the close OF the succeeding lecture on
Friday last
On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Garside
seemed to be in his appropriate place at
the desk of the large chapel of the State
University. He had an audience of
about one hundred students, a lot of
bright intelligent young men and two
or three young ladies. He took for his
theme "The Economics Of Socialism"
and delivered some pretty hard knocks
at orthodox political economy. After
the lecture we had about an hour of
pretty brisk skrmishing with the stud
ents, out of which they got something to
think about and to shake their confidence
in the conventional textbooks.
From the University the professor and
|, after a hasty lunch, wended our way
to suburban hall to assist in the or
ganizatiOn of the Scandinavian Sector
and its affilatiOn with the S. l.. +.
Another object of the meeting was TO
advance the cause of new sOciallstic
paper in the Swedish language. The
meeting was altogether successful.
Prof. Garside'S last public appearance in
Minneapolis was on Friday evening
at Labor Temple, when "The Future
State Of Society" was the subject
Every one was in fine spirits and we had
a very fine lecture, the main feature Of
which was the sharp contrasts presented
by the lecturer between existing Institu-
tlons Of the socialistic state. This lee
ture, as all others had been, was fol-
lowed by lively discussion in which all
sorts of social theories were brought to
tie test Of the sOcialistic crucible.
The Professor lectures this afternoon,
Sunday at st. Paul-his closing lecture
there and will return here in time to at
tend farewell supper this evening to
be given by the German Socialist Sec
ton. We expect a pleasant time, one
featOre Of which will be the reading to
him Of some resolutions passed to-day by
the Section at their regular meeting.

MAKE PROPER CONDITIONS,

1t is labor that produces the
wherewithal to support life; our
requirements must be obtained by
labor. Thus labor is the main factor
IN human existence. In order that
we may be served with bread the
farmer must till the soil, SOW the
seed, weed the field, cut the wheat
and thresh it; the miller makes it
into flower and the baker prepares it
and bakes it. All this work, besides
transportation, precedes the con-
sumption of bread. To shelter our
selves from the weather, to enjoy
the comforts of home, clothe our
selves, many and diversified are the
labors we require. There is no graft
ilcatIon OF our wants without work.
Under these conditions, as a matter
OF justice, we demand that all who
cause expenditure OF labor by eAist-
ing, should share in the work their
presence in society entails.
Strange that we must be reminded
of these facts in order to see them !
We are prone to overlook the only
basis upon which Just social relations
are possible, 1t is simple enough to
comprehend all this, and yet people
are confused in regard to it !; for how
could we otherwise tolerate condi-
tons under which some can CRAFTY
their wants -eXtravagances even
at the expense of others? Yes, and
impudently demand the contribu-
ton Of others labor as right
Bear in mind, workers, you are
strenuousIy exerting yourselves in
useful work and yet you suffer priva-
tons. Here is one who arrogates to
himself the right to command the
opportunities for employment, for
which you must pay him greater
part of what you produce. Here is
the IandIord-accursed signitcationl
who compels you to pay tribute to
hun for habitation on earth. Upon
what principles do they base their
demands? The one claims property
right to the means of labor and the
other to the soil. Their claims are
no better founded than those of the
Shareholder.
The very idea that one should
have the power to impose the condi-
tIons of existence upon another is
revolving.
Reflect upon it Your necessities
constitute the opportunity for an
other to ensave you to the extent
that you are compelled to apply to
him for employment under his con-
ditions and pay him rent. He is
gratifying his wants at your expense.
The remedy is that you shall be
your own employer in the arrange
ment of the cooperative common
wealth thus the full result of your
labor will be coming to you, and the
leeches who live upon you now will
find the condition for existence, the
natural one, in useful work, and will
be enforced to comply with it.

SAMUEL BRAFMAN.
Written for The HERALD

AN OLD SOLDIER GONE.-It was
our sad duty on last Sabbath, to COM
NIT to its final resting place, the body
of Mr.. Michael Mcnamara. The de-
ceased was a native of County Kerry,
Ireland, and coming to this country
in early youth, he spent the remain
der of his days amongst us. When
the late war broke out he joind heart
and hand with the brave boys Of the
South, in fighting for the lost
Cause" and through which the life
blood of many q noble heart flowed
out, the green grass waves to-day, he
still fingered amongst US, to be event
ually cut down, whilst in the discharge
of his duty as an employee of the b.
& O. Railroad. That he was highly
esteemed and deeply lamented it
would be needless for me to assert ;
the host of friends and neighbors, that
paid their last tribute of respect to
him, testified to that; but who shall
fill the aching void in the home circle?
Who bring consolation to the mourn
ing hearts of the widow and children,
All none but God when asked in
few last days of his life, if he was
willing to die, his answer was, Yes
willing and ready. and have no evil
wishes for any one! At peace with
the world, and let us hope at peace
with God. And though the storms OF
winter may beat around that lonely
grave, we will ever cherish the mem
DRY of the noble heart beneath, whose
beats are stilled forever in the pitiless
grasp of Death. That he WAS one OF
the nobIest works of God, it would
not be amiss to say, and let us pray
an All Merciful Father will leniently
judge him, and accord him home of
Eternal Rest, in the many mansions
prepared by Him for those who love
him. Rest in Peace.

A singular though not fatal accident
happened near this village about a
fortnight ago. One of our most prom
inent young men accompanied his
hest girl home from church on Sum-
day night, and stopped to pass the
usual time till ten O'Clock in social
chat. But by accident all the time
pieces possessed by both the house
and kitchen had stopped. When the
young fellow started home the next
morning, he met teams on the road
and saw man out husking corn and
he asked the man if his wife kept him
out at work all night. We would
suggest that our hero get sun dial
and carry it instead of watch.

OF Interest to You.

1t would not take a very observing
person to see that Emmert 81 Fiery are
far in the lead in Ladies' and Chi1dren's
Wraps. If you could see on one big pile
ali the coats we have sold this season.
you would think every woman and child
in the county would be supplied with
garment and yet we sold more wraps
last week than we ever sold in one week
before. This speakes volumes for our
stock, styles and prices, and moreover
shows conclusively that people will not
buy old coats carried over for the last
three years, but come where they can
get new, fresh garments. in the latest
styles and tailor made. Our stock of
Plush Coats was never more complete,
and remember every one we sell is guar
anteed. Our tailor made Walking Jack
ate choice, select and popular styles and
colorings. OF New Markets we have n
large variety. We make Children's wraps
speciality. There is nothing the mar
ket affords that we have not in stock, SO
you are sure to be pleased. If you don I
want coat yourself come and SEQ the
latest style garments so you can tell your
neighbor. EMMERT & FIERY.
