Virginia Visitors In the Police Court.
William Brown, John McKnew and John
Davis, residents of that part of Virginia known
as "Pohick," came to the city yesterday, one Of
them said, to see the town, but their actions
indicate that they changed their plans and
tried to paint the town red" They refreshed
themselves with washington beer and then
went to the river front to take a trip to City
View, but one Of the boatmen told them that
River View was the boats destination Some
words, mingled with profanity, passed between
the three "Pohick' countrymen and the boat
man and the result was that the visitors were
arrested. McKnew had a revolver in his pocket
When the cases were called in the Police Court
today the judge dismissed the charge OF dis
orderly conduct. As to McKnew's case the
judge said he would probably have used the
weapon had he drank a little more. A fine of
$50 was thereupon imposed.

Lashed His Wife with a Horsewhip.

Frederick Roth, who conducts a vegetable
garden on the Bladensburg road, was brought
by Policeman Slack before the Police Court
this morning for assaultng his wife. During
the past five or six years his sentences in the
Police Court have amounted SO the officers
say, to something like three years. He has
also served term or two in the penitentiary.
he has often been sentenced for whipping his
wife.
This morning when his wife Nina appeared
before Judge Miller she carried in her hand n
heavy horsewhip, which she said her husband
had beaten her with, and the condition OF her
face and eyes substantiated the story of his
brutality. The two little children of the IN
happy couple were present and ready to tell
their story, but the woma2's version of the
affair and the courts knowledge of the pris-
oner were sufficient to convict him
Judge Miller listened to Fred's story of his
domestic difficulties and then told him that the
jail and penitentiary did not seem to have any
good effect on him and he would have to pay a
fine of S25 or sixty DAYS

Among the communications which the pressure of May Day upon our i- mited space has recently compelled us to lay by for future consideration, we find letter from Mir. Wm. G. Bourke. of Brooklyn, in which he says:
 In your issue of April 5 Is copy of letter from my old friend Robert Bis sert, with an editorial heading to which l strongly object.

STRIKES IN NEW YORK STATE.

From advance proof sheets of the in- troducton to the seventh annual report of the New York State Bureau of Labor Statistics we extract the following state- ments:
 "The total number of strikes for the five rs-lSS5-1SS9-wa 9,3S4. Of this number 4,432 were successful, ASA partly successful and S,46S unsuccess- ful.
 "The number of persons engaged in these strikes was 33S.0l9. The amount lost in wages was $S,042, ,9l5. The cost to labor organizations by reason of strike benefits and conduct of strikes was S1,2l0, ,260.
 "The estimated gam in wages was $1S,623, ,060.
 "The loss to employers from all causes was S5,157,942.
 Ut Is permissible to remark that this loss to employers represents not an ac- tual loss, as Tn the case of wage earn ings, but loss of business which might have been profitable. The loss to en- ployers, therefore, is miss gain of pos sible profits. say 10 to 20 per cent on expected business. Sometimes, indeed, suspension of active operations may be an indirect gain to an employer Coal owners for example stop production in order to keep down stock and enhance prices.
 The number of persons who lost po- sitions by reason of the strikes was 20, S23. There were fifty strikes pending at the close of the report"

MAY F, 1890.
THE PLEDGE.

In marching under the banner of So- ciaism on May Day millions of wage workers pledged themselves and each other to the abolition of Capitalism, with it's stupendous contrasts of luxury and misery; with its standing armies, class militias, class legislation, class justice and class rule In every form with it's Pinkertons, bastlles and gal lows; with it's politicians, police and prostitutes; in brief, with all it's wastes, crimes and turpitudes.
 They pledged themselves and each other to the establishment of true, scientific, industrial system, with pro- ductive cooperation and distributive justice as the basic principles of social order
 In this country this pledge involves immediate organization for independent political action.
Workmen's advocate., 1890-05-17
BUSiN ESS.

Within the past several months we have repeatedly called attention to the perlty at the command of capital made this an unusually good time for labor to enforce it's demands. We advised prompt action, even in advance of the 1st of May, wherever grievances called for redress independently of the contem- plated eight-hour movement. In the monthly review for April, submitted to the New York American Section at it's Cooper Union meeting and published in the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE of the 26th ult., we said "The present economic conditions are as favorable to the suc- cess of the eight-hour movement as we can ever expect to find them under a system that tends to make those con ditions constantly more unfavorable, through the creation of permanent and growing army of unemployed work CTS. It is granted by the capitalists in nearly every branch of industry and trade that their business is good. There is an immense stock of perishable pro. more durable wealth by the employment of labor. While long struggle would entail considerable suffering upon the wage-workers, it would result in losses of such magnitude to the capitalist class that the sentiment of pride, dominion and hatred which characterizes that class must soon give way to a spirit of concession, however hypocritical and temporary"
 The result has shown the correctness of our views, based us they were upon accurate knowledge of the economic situation. The advance of labor this year upon the enemy's lines has been a triumphal march. In almost every in- stance victory was gained after brief contest, and in not few cases capital surrendered without fight. We truly believe that if all the more restless trades had been allowed to obey their
Workmen's advocate., 1890-05-17


 ideas you seem to think they have no | conception of. Your Labor" organi- | cations are away in the rear, and when | say this speak from years of personal | experience of both the c. l.. U. and D. | A. 40. You would be much surprised | to learn how many real "rabid" Social. | ists there are among your despised | Greenbackers; but they are Socialists who have learned that it is easier to for. ward part of their demands at first than to enforce the whole of them at once, and that the quickest way to reach the root of the evil tree is to lop off it's branches one by One."
 If our correspondent is, as we believe him to be, good and true man, our cap heading does not fit him and he need not wear it. On the contrary he should be one with us in repudiating the schem CTS who always used the Greenback party when it had some strength, and would u,e it again if it could be revived, to help Democratic or Republican poli- ticians.
 Again, if he is, as he claims to be, real Socialist, his place is among the Socialists, not among the Greenbackers.
 But no man, however good and true can be real Socialist, who does not see the inanity of the Greenback theory.
 Economically, Greenbackism is, like the single land tax, mere device to be- nefit one set of speculators at the expense of another set of speculators. It mat ters little that those who would be bene- fted are the debtors. These would be made full-pledged capitalists, free and clear, upon the credit and at the ex- pense of the nation, just as the national bankers and other monopolists have been and are; whereas the wage work ers-who are neither debtors nor credi- tors, but must earn money by labor and pay it out for necessares as fast as they earn it-would be neither better nor worse off than they ever were, since the wealth they create would continue to flow into the capitalistic reservoirs.
 True, Greenbackers hold, correctly enough, that government must issue money to the people directly and in sufficient quantity, Not less correctly did the single taxers hold that the land is the property of the people in comaaon. But no more can the monopoly of money be prevented by greenbackism than the monopoly of land can be prevented by the single tax.
 Socialism not only proclaims the same principles but alone supplies the means of carrying them out. In the coopera- tive commonwealth the land will actu ally belong to the people in common and money will be directly issued to them by their own "self-government" for la- Dor actually performed. It falls under the sense that money thus issued will always be in sufficient quantity, never 1epreoiated, and in the hands of those alone who may be entitled to it.
Workmen's advocate., 1890-05-17

The great trade organs, who some weeks ago were full of editorial articles deriding the eight-hour movement, are sn dambfounded by its success that they have adopted the oyster policy of silent wisdom.
Workmen's advocate., 1890-05-17

All this talk about making money plenty by coining silver and issuing greenbacks ad intinitum is pure hum- bugology and bamboozlosophy, We have lots of idle money in the banks and there is but one way of forcing it into circu- lation: that is, by increasing the wages of labor.
Workmen's advocate., 1890-05-17

We see very well that the unlimited coinage of silver will enrich the owners of silver mines; we do not see so well that it will put one dollar more in the pocket of the wage-worker.
