HARTFORD.

For the first time since the foundation
Of our Section S. l.. p we shall this year
hold Commune festival, On account
of local affairs we are somewhat behind
the historical day, but as we have spared
no pains and trouble, we hope that this
will not interfere with the success of the
affair.
Our programme will be extensive and
interesting: Instrumental and vocal
music, the latter by the Hartford Man-
nerchor: also theatricals and dancing.
But the chief feature of the day will be
an address by Mrs. S. Ii. Mortified of
Boston, whom the readers of the
WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE in our city
know to be an eloquent speaker. The
celebration will take place Monday
evening, March 81, at Sanger Hall.
Tickets, % cents a person, may be had
from all the members of the Section and
also at the doors of the hall.
THE COMMITTEE.

ing to the terms of the treaty. prose
cuted, not for political crime, but fol-
a common felony, which falsely has beer
ascribed TO him. The man is inexorably
lost. No U. s. minister can save him.
The SO called process of law" which
our minister would doubtless insist
upon, would from beginning to end be
a farce. The hired witnesses for the
prosecution are at hand the possible
witnesses for the accused, who could
| prove an alibi, for instance. have been
spirited away and 'rairoaded' to Siberia
| by administrative means long before the
| captive has touched Russian soil. All
the powers on earth may be set in mo-
ton with the help of the American
minister in order to get hold of these
witnesses, bm they are not to be found.
"Extraditon presupposes that the re-
| quest is made bona tide, and that the
possibility of watching the prosecution
and process ia guaranteed to the extra
| dited. Nobody can contend that the
action of Russia will in the least be
directed or limited by any such con-
siderations.
''ln support of our reasons we refer to
the wellknown book on Siberia and
Russia by George KEENAN,. in connec-
lion with his comments on the newly
reported crimes of Russian administra-
tive justice.
1--WE further refer to Prince Krapot-
kin's essays on 1.-The Exile in Siberia p"
in the Nineteenth Century of March,
1884, London, widely reprinted in peri
odicals and newspapers in this country.
Furthermore we refer to the fact
that in the first weeks of 1887, by de-
cree of the Car, the law of 1864,
whereby the publicity of court trials was
inauguratod, was abrogated.
ave finally call the attention of the
U. 5. Senate to the comments upon the
Russo American extraditlon treaty, by
the present American miIlster, Hon.
Emory Smith, in the Philadelphia Press
of the end of March, 1887. A copy of
those comments is now in the hands of
U. S. Senator Vest, to whom it was for
warded by an associate of ours.
"Our minister himself cannot help but
find that under the provisions of the
treaty all the unfortunate thousands
who escaped from Russian military
service or other tortures by means of
false passports would have to be extra
dited. We firmly believe that the honor
of this republic imposes the duty upon
the U. 5. Senate to refrain from any
extradltion treaty whatever with Rus
STA.
ut should be sufficient to Americans
that the Russian people are subject to
the arbitrary will of the Car. A law
abiding government cannot enter into
an extradition treaty with a lawless
despotism."

Our father who art in England, Roth

IN the United States as it is in England,
Give us this day our bonds in gold, give
us plenty of laboring mems votes to

we have done many things that were
wrong we have robbed the honest poor,
and brought distress to many door.
But thou knowest we made money by
that. Now, our father, thou knowest
we are above politics. 1t is the same to
us whether democrats or republicans

sway all political jobs in our favor.

Christianity and Socialism.

In reply to Christian correspond
ent of the London Commonueal William
Morris comments as follows on Christi
anity and Socialism,: "Real q should call
it ideaD Christianity has never existed
at all Christianity has developed in due
historic sequence from the first and has
taken the various forms which s, cial,
political and economic circumstances
have forced on it, its last form moulded
by the sordid commercialism of modern
capitalism being the bundle of hypo-
crisies which Christian Socialists CON
denim. When this beggarly period has
been supplanted by one in which Social.
ism is realized, will not the system of
morality, the theory of life, be ALIEN
bracing, and can it be other than the
Socialistic theory? Where then will be
the Christian ethic?- absorbed in Social
ism. No separate system of ethics will
then be needed; there will be no protest
needed against the theory of life which
will then be commonly heidi we shall
only have to guard the freedom which
we have won"

The city, which has fostered this mon

Haven" is the name of the new union
formed by the late strikers of Myer

many that within six months the union
will have membership of 1000, They
have joined the Trades Council.

TRAVELLING MEN.
The Knights of the Grip Get Down to Busi-
ness at Denver-some Heated Debates.
Big Reception.

| Special to the Gazette.
DENVER, Col. June 25-The travel
ing men 5 convention got down to BUSH
ness this morning in earnest Immediately
| after being called to order. President
Root delivered his annual address. This
was followed by reports of committees
on credentials, reports of presidents of
various state organizations and reports
of chairmen of the national legislative
committee, national railway committee,
| board of directors and the general man
ager. The two first reports discuss
mainly the question of transpor =
tation. They favored an
amendment 10 the interstate
| commerce law so as to permit
railway companies issuing 5000-mil
universal ticket, good over all roads in
America. The committees having this
matter in charge are tiartered at the sue
cess they have attained, and believe they
will eventually secure what they wish.
During the discussion of the report of ID.
X. Clink of Chicago, who is chairman of
the railway committee, some reference
was made to the National Commercial
Traveller, of Louisville, KY, to which
Mr.. Koopman, its editor, took exception.
The debate became so heated that for
moment it appeared as if the only means of
settling the question would be a knock
down. At this point Joseph F. Henry
of New York secured the floor, and in q
quiet, sensible talk succeeded in getting
the boys to settle their trouble in a
friendly manner. All of the reports
were adopted.
A. Meyer of Omaha was granted per-
e. he
while doing so proposed that the assocla-
ton take up and agitate the question
Of erecting home for the children
of deceased travelling men. His
plan is to have the mer-
chants throughout the country who
employ travelling men subscribe funds
for its completion, travelling men to
subscribe to its support. The matter
will probably be taken up tomorrow.
Indianapolis has already offered and
subscribed land upon which the home
can be located should the scheme eyer

There is considerable dissatisfaction
among delegates. Many openly declare
the association has been of little practical
use to its members, and assert national
officers have made use of their position
for the fCrtherance of private ends
by means OF insurance and other
projects, 30 the association is now
really divided into three grades,
on favoring the present system and who
believe in the amalgamation of all trsv-
elers' organizations and those demand
ing radical change, and who wish to do
away with the present organization and
sub ,titute for it new plan of working,
based upon different principles. When
these questions come up there will prob
ably be monkey and parrot time, which
will simmer down to q reorganization.
A grand parade took place this even
ing, in which a thousand travelling men
participated.
A reception was given the delegates
tonight.

fusing matter for points on the Illinois

1900 and 1000 men are idle. An engine
and mail car came IN this morning from

men employed on the Cairo division to
demand the removal of Z. J. Hartigan,

travel, and the first turn is reached with the
pair still running so close and steady that
blanket would have covered them. Now the
battle royal is begun. The spectators. men and
women mount the chairs and ratings to get

helps to loosen the tension. It Is an audible
evidence of the great race and the hush that
hung on the silent struggle is broken as the
splendid animals come booming home. Garri-

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Girls Jump from Street Car to be Ground
to Death by a Locomotive.

Special to tine Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, June 25.-One Of
the most sickening and horrible of fatal
accidents occurred about 8 O'Clock to-
night at the intersection of avenue N
and Twenty seventh street, where the
Garten Verein street car line on Twenty
seventh street crosses the Galv eston
Western narrow gauge railway track.
A street car on this line going south
driven by Charles Wright, were
Just in the act Of crossing
the railway track when Wright saw
locomotive coming rapidly from the
eastward close upon him. He instantly
whipped up his mule in his effort
to make the crossing. At the same time
fearing collision he shouted to his pas
sengers to jump from the car. This
Hattie and Josie Frary who were seated
near the rear door of the car, did, and
sprang onto the railway track just in
front of the engine to be knocked down
and horribly mutilated. Hattie, aged
sixteen, was crushed under the locomo-
tive and instantly killed, her
head being split in two and her
body rolled up like ball with scarcely
bone that was not fractured. Josie,
with all her limbs broken and horrible
cash in her side, besides other injuries to
the body. She was picked up tenderly
and rapidly conveyed to St. Mary's in
Urinary, but the best medical skill pro-
nounce her case hopeless and she is ex-
pected to die before morning.
The remains of Hattie were
carried to an undertaking establishment
for interment. The unfortunate girls
were in the car with their widowed
mother, Mrs. Fiary of San Angelo,
Tex, and were en- route to the Gartein
Verein to attend the concert given there
tonight. They were here in attendance
upon the State Teachers association.
The mother is wild with grief, and as she
sits tonight by the couch of her dying
daughter in st. Mary's hospital attended
by few family friends, the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire city goes out to
her. Who is responsible for the deplora-
BILE accident will be rigidly investigated.
Wright, the driver, says the locomotive
was moving at the rate of fifteen miles
an hour, and that he heard no bell or
whistle, and that no sign of approach
was given. Coroner Spann will begin a
rigid inquiry in the morning. 1t was
impossible to see or find any of the train
men tonight. Wright, the car driver,
says ifthe girls had remained seated they
would have escaped injury, as the car
cleared the crossing without beng touch
ed by the locomotive.
Josie Faery, injured in the accident,
died at st. Mary's hospital at 1890.
The bodies of the two unfortunate sis
tiers are now being prepared for burial
and will be taken to San Angelo to-mor-
row for interment.
