noble utterance of the poet John Boyle
O'Reilly, that shines like gem in that
pile OF turpitude
"The masses are poor, ignorant and
disorganized. They do not know the
rights of mankind on the earth. They
do not know that the world belongs to
its living population. And whyl Be-
cause small class in every country has
taken possession Of property and gov

safety and the security of its own plum

after generation, into the belief that
this condition is the natural order
and the law of God. By long train
ing and submission the people every
where have come to regard the as
sumption of their rulers and owners
as the law of right and common sense,
and their own blind instincts, which tell
them that all men ought to have a
plenteous living on this rich planet, as
the promptings Of evil and disorder.

ORGANIZE THE WORKING
WOMEN,

Next to public education and the pro-
hibition of child-labor, the most i'm
portant question-that which requires
the most immediate attention Of
practical men and women in the labor
movements the organization of female
wage-workers.
The time has long been ripe for it, and
any further delay is pregnant with dan
ger.
OF some previous attempts to organize
the working women it is unnecessary to
speak at length. They were unsuccessful,
as they deserved to be. Benevolent ca
pitalists, kindly politicians, charitable
professionals, prayerful hypocrites and
other sentimental frauds must be told
in plain words that their services are
not required and that their intrusion
under any pretext whatever shall not fol
a moment be tolerated.
Let us, labor men and women, take
this matter firmly in our own hands. Il
is a business matter, for business pur
| poses, to be worked out on bushes,
principles, keeping in view the ultimat,
object of the economic movement.

THE SUN DO MOVE.

In its issue of last Saturday the New
York San published the following letter
from the Rev. De Costa:
"You say in your leading article of
Tuesday that Jesus would condemn the
whole system upon which civilized socie.
ty rests" With this statement hearth
ly agree; but the sweeping deductions
you make from the texts quoted hardly
endorse. You would seem to make the
teaching of our Lord SO radical as to be
impractical. Others have so interpreted
his words, anu hence the diocese of
Massachusetts two or three years ago
declared, by a resolution, that there was
nothing impractical in his teachings,
and that everything could be applied to
daily life. 1t is true that all this would
involve reconstruction of society,
which is now based upon the inhuman
and unfeeling principle of the survival
of what is called "lhe tittest," that is,
the strongest. The reconstruction is
sure to come, and then Christ will be
the centre of 1t. AT least so it appears
to me, and that when the time comes the
churches will accommodate themselves
to the new order and thank God that
the old one has passed away.
B. F. DE COSTA.
To this letter the Sun replies as fol-
lows:
"Dr. De Costa is wrong in saying that
we seemed to make the teaching Of
Jesus impracticable. We simply con-
tended that, as matter of fact, it is not
reduced to practice by either Churches
or individual Christians. There is as
much gong to law as there was before
the dawn of Christianity. War has not
ceased, but is of continual occurrence.
Processing Christians are to day fight.
ing to revenge injuries or to gam advan.
tages. Never before vas the pursuit of
wealth more eager, al Christians gen.
orally are engaged in it heart and soul.
but we respect DR.. De Costa for not
trying to dodge the question. lie meets
it boldly by declaring, what is true be-
yond all possibility OF controversy, that
the organization of society at present is
wholly unchrlstian, and that 1t cannot
become Christian without being totally
reconstructed. Thus 1t appears that the
reverend gentleman and The Sun are in
complete agreement as to this important
matter"
We thus have from MIR. Dana himself
for the Sun would never have taken
such a position without the unqualified
assent of its chief editor-that our pres.
ent social system is one of monstrous
iniquity, and that better one, substan-
TALLY resting on sooialistic principles, is
not only desirable, but practicable.

From these figures it appears that the
Socialist Labor party is now, numeri.
cally, the strongest of all the political
parties of Germany. In three years it
has gained 694 900 votes; whereas the
Centrists Tor Ultramontanes) have lost
$4,000, the National Liberals 400 900,
the German Conservatives PAS, 000 and
the Free Conservatives (or lmperialsts)
100000.
1t appears also that under just ap-
portionment of the seats in the Reichs-
tag the Socialists would be entitled to
80 representatives, whereas they have
only 80; the Ultramontanes, who come
next in numerical Importance, would
have rs, whereas they have 1O5; the
National Liberals would have IS instead
of 80; the German Liberals GA instead of

1t is reported from Berlin that in the
Lower House Herr Ritter, director of
the Pless mines, opposed reduction of
the hours of labor because the condi
ton of the miners is not worse than that
of other workmen". This is a remark
able argument, but it defines exactly
the position of modern capitalism OIL the
treatment of laborers in all countries
to-wit Equality in misery, the most
wretched of wsge-workers being taken
as the standard. la the same debate
Minister May bach stated that the work
men in the royal mines of the Saar dis
trict had surprised the Government by
stirling after obtaining exceptional ad-
vantages". There are many more surpri.
Bes 0. this kind in store for the Govern
ment, whose aim, observed Maybsch,
is to establish closer relations between

CAUSES OF POVERTY.

of "eminent thinkers" on the Causes
of Poverty
As to what they are Edward Atkinson
said: Ignorance, .Incapacity, and Vo-
luntary Idleness." This is false on its
face. Were it true, Edward Atkinson
would be one of the poorest men on
earth.
Chauncey Depew said "Rum." He
never drinks rum; he drinks champagne
and earns wages of abstinence"
Do likewise, by all means, and you will
get wealthy.
Millionaire Rockefeller whose annual
income is estimated at nineteen million
dollars-all derived from eminent
thinking his photographer and
dictated this reply: "Intemperance.
The word "Rum" is shorter by three
sylables and would have saved him
valuable time.
Russell Sage, on being informed of the
comprehensive views of Rockefeller,
SAID "Me too"
Henry Clews, the banker, said
Drink" But he is not prohibtionist
and cannot well be one if he truly be-
lieves that the intemperance Of the
workers is what enables the idlers to
live upon the fat Of the land.
DIR. Hammond said Civilization"
He has read somewhere in history that
there was "no poverty among utter
barbarians" Therefore-mark his logic
we cannot abolish poverty without
returning to barbarism.
Prof. Sumner, of Yale, said "Pov-
erty exists; therefore it has come to
stay. That is the sum of human philo-
sophy'. Somewhat beastly, isn't it,
this human philosophy, as taught at
Yale to the sprigs of our plutocracy.
Prof.Adams, of Cornell, says "he does
not know whether there is anything in
his mind worth saying in regard to the
causes of poverty; doubt fully justi-
fled by his subsequent remark that
poverty is one of the necessary contin.
gencies of civilization. He thinks,
however, that Legislation has tended
in many ways to increase the opportuni-
ties of the rich and to diminish the OPP
portunities of the poor. But he does
not find it "easy to point out in detail
the ways in which it was done. Why,
| Profes sor, it is not at all necessary that
you should point them out. Every one
can see for himself, by merely looking,
that our civilization-'a necessary con-
tingency of which is poverty"-rests
upon class privilege. And by the way,
how many pupils have you at Cornell,
whose education is not paid for by the
labor of wage-workers who cannot even
send their own children to the public
SCHOOL,
The Rev. DR.. Buckley, editor Of the
Christian Advocate, says that "Paupers
may be divided into three classes Those
who will not work, those who cannot
work, and those who would work If
they could get employment. Those who
will not or cannot work must beg steal
or die, AS for those who want work
and can't get it, from my soul l pity
them. His pity is all the Rev. editor
can offer them.
A more generous though not less
eminent thinker" is the Rev. DR.. Nc.
Arthur, of Fifth Avenue, who says
Whatever may be the cause of poverty,
we ought to give, and give wisely AID
literally, to the poor" There were
preachers in the Middle Ages who spoke
more hravely: "You rob the poor"
they said to the powerful "all you
have belongs to them"

EDITOR ADvocATE:-The picnic an
nounced In your last weeks issue to be
held at Richland was we'll attended, CON
sidoring the busy time of year, and a
grand good social time was had. The
meeting was called TO order by the chair
man Of the committee on arrangements,
who made some appropriate remarks and
called upon L. Il. Yount, Of the Tribune,
who responded with some we'll timed re-
marks upon the Issues before the people.
Music by the Richland and Teoumseh
bands lntervened, and / must say to
their credit that the rendering Of some Of
their music was splendid and beyond our
expectation; that the citizens Of those
communities ought to congratulate them
selves on being able to furnish them
selves with their own music.
Dinner was spread and everybody pres
ent was feasted in that style Characteris-
tic Of farmers and their wives an abund-
ance Of everything good to eat.
AS this is just the beginning of the
picnic season, it is hoped that ere the
season is over Brother Yount will have
better control over his appetite and not
lot it get away with him as on this Occa-
sion.
After dinner, Brother King, Of the
Kansas State Exchange, delivered an ad-
dress full Of facts, enthusiasm and time
ly warning, which was well received.
Major Sims then took the stand and
entertained the audience in q style char
teristic OF the major, giving his views on
the tariff, and denouncing the national
banks 10 their utter determination.
Take II all In all the picnic was q success
and It is to be hoped that the seed sown
will bring forth fruit TO the good OF the
order in that part Of Shawnee county.
