That Hollow Pond Dam.

MIDDLETowN, May at has been
proven that the Hollow pond dam situ-
ated near this city il weak. The state
INSPECTOR of dams viewed this dam q
short time ago. His report has never
been made public, but it is believed that
Russell company, tho owners of the
pond, have commenced to draw off the
water. The residents in the vicinity of
the pond think that an order was issued
BY the inspector that the dam must be
repaired.

and is pressing with extreme urgency
upon the attention of the country at
this time. To no part of it's creed is
the Republican party more irrevoca-
bly, committed than TO this noble
and necessary doctrine.
We believe that in forms of Govern
ment in which sovereignty resides in
the people and speaks through popu-
lar elections, a free ballot and fair
count are the very breadth of
the nations life. AS Grattan said of
the Irish parliament, at is our very
being; nay, more, it is our life TO
come" We believe that whatever
hinders the free expression of the
sovereign will at the ballot-box, gags
the nation, while highwaymen rob it
of it's liberty.
We believe that no darker reproach
ever rested upon the fair escutcheon
of the Republic than that which now
dIapes it with forbidding black-that
men are suffered to climb to
power and to maintain political
supremacy upon the ruins of the
constitutional right o. American
citizens to a free ballot and a
fair count; and that, too, with
the mightiest Republic on earth
standing by consenting. We can not
witness with cOmposure the paradox
the nation presents. Contemplate it
for moment. We protect the
American citizen in every land but
our owD-everywhere but at home.
Let any Government on earth COM
init an outrage upon one of our citi-
Zens and a million swords would
leap from their scabbards If necessary,
and the naval armament of the ma
ton would pillow the seas with guns
shotted to the muzzle to avenge the
wrong.
Martin Koszta, native of Hunga-
ry, who was not n full naturalized
citizen, though he had in due form of
law made his declaration to become
so, while i'm SMYRNA was seized by
command of the Austrian cOnsul-gen-
eral, and placed on board the Hus-
sar, and Austrian vessel where he
was held in confinement. Captain
Ingraham, in command of the Ameri-
can sloop-of-war St. Louis, arriving
in port at that critical moment and
ascertaining that Koszta had with
him his naturalization papers, de-
manded his release, and enforced his
demand by training his guns on the
Austrian vessel. The words of his
dispatch to his home Government

tect our citizens abroad; and Congress

Ingraham for his resolute and heroic

SOUTHERN HYPOCRISY.

Yet we TRANQUILITY witness the rights
of our citizens at home, under oul
own flag, slaughtered in cold blood
with malice afOrethought, with de
liberate and predetermined intent
by their fellow-citizeDs, and lift not q
hand to spare or save.
We listen to bs.S silver tongues o.

and fraternal motive they are shield.
ing him from the full blaze of the sun
of liberty until his eyes grow strong
enough to open undazzled upon the
midday beam; that he is happy and
jubilant in the peaceful fields, and
eontentment runs with the singing
pillow; and that, at any rate, they
can settle their controversy with him
without the intervention of media
tors. Graphically presented, the
situation is this: A bully knocks
down defenseless man and places
his foot on his PROSTATE neck. When
the officer of the law interposes, he is
told by the man who commands the
situation, to keep hands off; that the
parties concerned understand their
difficulties and can settle them to
their mutual satisfaction without as
sistance, and the peace officer walks
away satisfied.
Thus is the nation behaving, while
the blood of it's murdered citizens
cries from the ground, and the walls
of the prosecuted and terror-stricken
are borne on thefour winds of heaven
to the deaf ears of q country they
helped to save, and in whose service
they bore themselves with such con
spicuOus valOr, that no white soldier
of the Union who witnessed theil
heroic daring as they charged into
the open mouths of frOwning batter

of the battle, but would have sale

An Urgent Appeal to Socialists and Union
lists on Behalf of this Most Oppressed
and Degraded Branch of Labor.
The following appeal to journeymen
bakers and Organized Labor throughout
the country speaks for itself:
COMRADEs:-It is needless for me to
enter into lengthy statement of the
deplorable condition of the journeymen
bakers. Most of you are certainly aware
OF their sutferings, espe cially in cities
where they are not organized. shall
merely state that owing to excessive
hours of labor, starvation wages and in
human treatment, the workers of our
craft are so exhausted and demoralized
that they have neither time nor spirit
enough to come together and unite for
mutual protection. 1t is, therefore, alb
solutely necessary that the organized
labor of other trades, AMI especially our
comrades of the s. l. p, should aid us
to the utmost of their power, in inn
pressing upon the journeymen bakers
everywhere the Importance and benefits
of organization.
Comrades, no practical work of any
Importance can be done without your
local. aid. AS the evening of Saturday
Is the only one in the week when our
men are not at work and can attend a
meeting, general organizer would be
of little value and could not render the
assistance required to place new union
on good basis.
Therefore ! earnestly and urgently
appeal to you and hope you will use
every means at your command to free
the journeymen bakers from the yoke
of slavery.
The following is list of the cities
where they could be Immediately organ
lied if the right steps were taken;
Springfield, Lawrence, Holyoke and
Adams, Mass; Paterson, Elizabeth and
Trenton, N. j.; Dayton, Springfield and
Youngstown, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wis. !;
Minneapolis, Mimi; Saginaw and Fort
Wayne, Ind; New Orleans, La; Nor
folk, Va; Baltimore, Md, and many
CHER places.
All communications to the under
signed will be promptly attended to-
For circulars and all particulars, please

Grievances of the Farmer.

In some sections of the West the
farmers regard their situation as suf-
ficiently distressing to call for legislation
for their relief. This sentiment on
the part Of the agricultural population
was voiced in an open letter recently
addressed by the president Of the Far
mers' Alliance of Kansas to the men,
bers of the Kansas delegation in Con-
gress. In this letter the complaint is
made that while the farmers are in dis
tress their representatives in Congress
are engaged in the consideration Of
almost all classes Of questions except
those bearing on the condition of the
agricultural population. One statement
made in the letter is of peculiar interest
as bearing on the discussion going on IN
reference to the effect Of farm mort
gaging on the farmers prosperity. This
statement is to the effect that single
law firm in one city in southern Kansas
has contract for the foreclosure of
1890 mortgages. The exact relation
borne by these figures to the whole num-
Der of mortgages on record in the Sec
ton referred to does not appear, but the
statement by itself is calculated to at
tract Observation-Disclosures.

his buttons.
The labor or social question needs, not
the quack, but the trained scientist and
practical worker to solve it. Unless
you hitch your car to the star of evolu-
ton you will be dumped. The evolu-
tion of society is towards the national
cooperation of the people-the nalio-
nalization of the land and the instru-
ments of production. Nothing less will
do it Cali this Socialism, if you like, or
Natlonalism. l am no ninny (most of

EIGHT HOURS.
Representatives of Organized Labor In
Massachusetts Urge the Enactment
of State Law,

Representatives of Organized Labor in
Massachusetts Urge the Enactment
of u State Law.
The Committee ON Labor Of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature is considering the
expediency of legislation providing that
eight hours shall constitute legal days
work for all State, county, city and
town employees.
Last week George E. Mcneil opened
the case on the side of Labor. He said
the claim Ii not based upon the theory
that man can do as much work in
eight hours as he can in ten, despite all
assertions to the contrary. The problem
has rather to do with the distribution
and consumption of wealth than with
its production. The national govern
ment in 1868 inaugurated the system of
eight hours work for national employees
and now we want the State to follow in
this step.
The eight hour men simply claim,
said Mcneil, what the constitution of
the State and the declaration of rights
show hat the State is co operative
association of citizens, having equal
rights, privileges and responsibilities. II
it is true that this is a cooperative asso-
citation of citizens, they have RICH to say
what the limit of laboring hours shall
be. Mr.. Mcneil claimed that the State
in employing its men to work eight hours
a day will increase the value of these
laborers in the same manner that park
Improvements improve the value of ad-
jacent property.
Representative Morgan Of Woburn
made plea for the eight-hour system,
one of his arguments being that it would
help men at present out of work. He
said that the system had been tried in
Woburn with most satisfactory results
and with no increase in taxation.
James Moreland, Tucker Lemery,
James Mcclellan, Michal Carroll, Chas.
Wood, Robert Stevens, John O'Neill,
John Daley, John Sullivan and John
McQuade, all representing different
trade and labor unions, appeared in be-
half of the measure.

Puzzled and Demoralized by the Attitude
of the Sailors.
A reporter of the New York CONNER
cial Bulletin has called upon the agents
of the coastwise steamship companies to
ascertain their feelings in regard to
a published report that the sailors and
firemen of American lines intend to
strike for an increase of wages in April
and "that the decentralization attendant
upon such high-hdnded measures had
already set in" THE report" continues
our esteemed and well subsidized con-
temporary, STATED that last week several
coastwise steamships were unable to
keep their crews by in port, as they
were too busy formulating plans for
future action under the direction of
George w. Reed, the self.imported or
ganizer Of strikes and disorganizer of
men, from the other side of the Allan
tic. At all the offices it was stated that
while they had heard considerable talk
about the proposed strike" they had
had no actual information that strike
was contemplated. In fact, they did not
believe that there was any foundation
for the report, except, possibly, the
statement made in Liverpool by Mr..
Davitt day or two ago, to the effect
that American seamen and 'longshore-
men are fully in sympathy with the
Liverpool strike"
