NATIONALIST CLUB NO. 3.
Dhhie' De Leon Delivers II Lecture on
"The Commonwealth Party; Its
Rise, Decline and Fall"

Rise, Decline and Fall"
Nationalist Club No 3 and an apprecia-
tive audience of visitors listened on Sun.
day afternoon IN the clubs rooms to
Mr.. ID. De Leon's address on the Com
monwealth Party; Its Rise, Decline und
falf. The speaker introduced his ad.
dress with the remark that if the Com
monwealth Party had possessed the vigor
and influence of Roman Empire one
might be sure that some 500 years later
some Gibbon would rise, give its his
tory, and point to its moral. In this
case, however, if all that were not done
now and quickly, there was danger of
the lesson being wholly lost and there.
fore those who saw the meteor should
take its picture before it was wholly
buried in oblivion, and draw from it the
important lessons it teaches The speaker
went into a detailed account of the
party from it's earliest beginning down
to Its final collapse. He showed how it
was originally intended to harmonize
all factions, how it then forgot its pur
pose and deliberately hostilzed not only
the bulk OF the laboring element but the
self respecting Nationalists themselves.
ms narrative gave him occasion to
point to the wisdom that guided the
Socialist movement in that it does not
Tor moment tolerate within its ranks
any one who, once affiliated to it, either
labors for or receives Office from either
OF the plutocratic parties; it gave him
occasion to prove on the one hand the
necessity of full political programme
and on the other the folly of expecting
to arouse popular enthusiasm with one.
idea fractional agitation and he clinched
this point by contrasting the phenom.
enal success of Looking Backward
which gave full picture of the future
commonwealth and of what should be
our present demands, with all the one.
idea books, such as those on the money
question only, the monopoly only, the
land only, etc. In conclusion he ex
pressed the hope that the late lamented
might rest in peace, and the opinion that
it deserved the thanks of Nationalists
for the instruction of men and things
which it had afforded to the bona. fde
clubs.
The address was interrupted with fire.
quent applause, which revealed the una,
nImity OF the popular opinion towards

four Nationalist organizations. The
latter II delegates appeared in body
headed by Daniel De Leon and Charles
Sotheran; and they were vociferously
cheered as they entered the hall. The
Credenual Committee reported favorably
on all, and the delegates were seated.
Prof. D. De Leon then spoke on be
half of the Nationalists. He said that
the call of the Nationalsts for a con-
vention some weeks ago, had been
actuated by a desire to reach labor or
gamzations which presumably could
not have been reached otherwise. The
promises of certain people had amoun-
ted to nothing. Two or three pocket,
organizations of the K. of L. had re-
sponded; the others were bogus labor
organizations. The Nationalists, there.
fore, had to disavow the Commonwealth
party and join the party of organized
labor. Continued applause.

ported as follows:
The Fourth had been organized on
Monday and would hold mass s-meeting

SOLDIERS OR MENIALs7

To enlist in the service of ones country
is commonly accounted a meritorious
thing. and to serve the nation is regarded
As a honor. Care should be exercised
that the rights ever OF the rank and file
should be respected in the army. Com
mon soldiers are not common drudges.
To have a corps of Wallets on which to call
at pleasure for services which are entirely
mental may suit the fancy of cocky young
West Pointers, whose epaulets are bright
with their newness. But it is not in keep
ing with the independent spirit of the
American, who.even when he renders SER
VICE to his country for u stipend is not
supposed TO sink his sense OF honest man
hood and the sturdy rectitude of honest
toll.
The case of Private WILD and the high
handed conduct of Lieut.. STEELE has
awakened interest in the rights of the
private. Some rights he certainly has,
and 1t should be the pride of a deserving
officer I. see that they are rigidly pro-
tected. When officers lack this worthy
sense of what Is decent and due from
them, 1t is time they came in for a little
wholesome discipline.

"KONK" AND OPIUM SLAVES.
Cheap and Deadly Stimulant

Responsible for More Deaths Than
Either Morphine or whiskey.

Standing on jackson street a San Fran
cisco Chronicle reporter received III invi-
tation from an habitue of that part of the
city to have n konk." The proposition
was entirely novel, and the discoveries
made in consequence Of this Invitation
were of n startling and unexpected kind.

occupied by Wing, Fong, Hi & Co.,
Chinese wholesale and retail liquor deal

when they are financially embarrassed

natural cravings.

For any o. oTrept NO bftinted the.

probably responsible for moro deaths
than any opium place or morph ne joint
III this city.
Hundreds of persons who are we'll
known slaves TO the opium, morphine or
cocaine habits frequent the place daily
and nightly. IL Is n ~favOrite resort for
the memDerHO OF the variety theatre conf
pnnies. and the reporter saw many Of
them passing quietly in and out during
his short stay.
The particular poison that is dealt
ont in this basement is In a fluid form and
resembles whiskey. II Ia, however. an
alcoholic stimulant which by far sur
passes the famous chain lightning of Ken
tucky or the fighting snake juice Of the
frontier.
The principal reason why the DEATH
dealing fluid Is popular is it, c~heaHness-
two g asses for 5 cents-which makes II
accessible to the purse of almost every
one. One glass Of it will throw any one
not accustomed to the stuff into %conyul-
sions, md two doses are said to produce
the effect Of q dozen drinks ON tho most
inveterate drinker. 1t is called "konk."
About n year ago John MortelI. awell-
known variety performer, died from the
effects of drinking this vile stuff.
Another victim of the habit of drinking
"konk" WINS Stella Marion, n young
woman, who died here n few months ago.
In conversation with many people who
are conversant with the lives led bv the
unfortunate victims of the opium ha bit
it was learned hat the 'konk" is re-

knowledge Of its existence is spreading

A WHOLESOME INNOVATION.

There should be women inspectors OF
tho factories where women are wholly or
largely employed. 1t is simple justice to
the poor, Raunt, overworked women
whose thin hands toll at spindles and
bobbins in the hot rooms of the hugo
factories that there should DO those OF
their own sex who can look into their
needs. examine their rights and have
some power to redress the many perfectly
unnecessary evils which they are called
ON to endure every daySf their lives.
None but woman Is duly qualified for
this task. That browning virtue of her
sex. modesty. would deter manga poor
girl from stating grievances which fall
TO the lot Of the mill or factory woman.
They are many, they are grievous, they
should not be allowed to exist. The life
of the woman toIler Ia hard enough with
out the addition Of trials that do not rise
of necessity from the>work.
Humanity pleads for q redressing of tho
fictory girls wrongs. Justice demands
THAI the strong hand of the law should be
stretched in protection over her wasted
form. and that legal measures should
screen her from the useless pains of body
and dangers of soul which assail her In
protected being.
This great good can be accomplished
by the help of women inspectors. author
lied by the State TO investigate the con-
dition of these unfortunate girls and
women. Let something of this kind be
done, and be done with s~easonable
promptness, They who are friendless
and suffering are the worthiest objects of
humanitarian efforts.
Help the poor women who toll In the
factories. Appoint from their own sex
those to whom they may freely conide
their wrongs. and through whom they
may receive q needed succor.
