false promises often, but they form a huge body of voters and at every cleo tion their demands are discussed. Poli- tical platforms and political speeches are full of appeals to the working men. Who ever appeals to the working women? Who cares what becomes of them?
 A United States Senator, who was opposed to woman suffrage, once said to me that the interests of women were always looked after and protected by men.
 "PoliticallyT l asked,
 Certainly"
 "Now Senator" 1 said, "let me SUD- pose case. Suppose that in the midst of an exciting campaign you were to make an address at an important point and on reaching the place you found the hall entirely filled with women, would you consider that an influential political gathering?"
 The Senator was perplexed. Gallantry impelled him to say that it would be a charming audience. Truth forced the admission that it would be of no political value.
 Gallantry! That is not what the work ing woman wants. She has enough and too much of that; what sic asks is justice.
 AS non-voters fifty thousand women might assemble in mass meeting in our largest public park and in the eyes of the politician there would be nobody there. But fancy them voters! Fifty thousand women with ballots in their hands! Would they not be a power? Would not their interests be of some importance, their requests listened to?

In depicting the most general phases of the development of the proletariat, we traced the more or less yelled civil war, raging within existing society, up to the point where that war breaks out into open revolution, and where the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie lays the foundation for the sway of the proletariat.
 Hitherto, every form of society has been based as we have already seen, on the antagonism of expressing and op- pressed classes. But in order to oppress a class certain conditions must be as- sured to it under which it can, at least, continue it's slavish existence. The serf, in the period of serfdom, raised himself to membership in the commune, just as the petty bourgeois, under the yoke of feudal absolutism, managed to develop into bourgeois. The modern laborer, on the contrary, instead of rising with the progress of industry, sinks deeper and deeper below the con- ditions of existence of his own class. He becomes a pauper, and pauperism develops more rapidly than population and wealth. And here it becomes evil dent that the bourgeoisie is unfit any longer to be the ruling class in society and to impose its conditions of existence upon society as an overriding law. It is unfit to rule because it is incompetent to assure an existence to it's slave within his slavery, because it cannot help let ting him sink into such state that it has to feed him instead of being fed by him. Society can no longer live under this bourgeoisie; in other words it's exist ence IS no longer compatible with so- ciety.
 The essential condition for the exis- tence, and for the sway of the bourgeois class, is the formation and augmentation of capital; the condition for capital is wage-labor. Wage-labor rests exclu- sively on competition between the labor CTS. The advance of industry, whose tUt DouTStplAlS, replaces the isolation of the laborers, due to competition, by their revolution ary combination, due to association. The development of modern industry, therefore. cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bour. geoisie produces and appropriates pro ducts. What the bonrgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable
 PRoLETARIANs AND COMMUNISTS.
 In what relation do the Communi sts stand to the proletarians as whole?
 The Communists do not form separ- ate party opposed to other working class parties.
 They have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole.

SCIENTIFIC" ANARCHISTS.

'SCIEN lFlC" ANARCHISTS.
 We learn from Justice that on Satur- day, June :, Herbert Burrows delivered q remarkable lecture in London on "So- cial Democracy, Anarchism and Anarch- ists." He quoted largely from Spies, Schwab, Parsons, Mrs Parsons, Kro- potkin, Bakounine and other real, bona fde revolutionlsts who died, fought or in any way suffered, or are still suffer. ing, for their faith in human liberty, and he showed plainly that their under standing of the final condition of affairs to be brought about by the social revo- lution differed far more widely from the ideas entertained by their bogus follow CTS of the "scientific" and "commu- nistic" schools than from the socialistic conception. Spies, he said, advocated thorough combination; Schwab declared in favor of taking part in politics, of organization, of regulations, and Parsons held that "the whole people should become the State;" while Mrs Parsons spoke up for Trade Unions, and even for Cooperative Societies, as useful in promoting the organization of the workers; Kropotkin also manifested de, terminate ColIectivist tendencies in his statement that the means of producing and exchanging wealth should be owned by "every body" There were number of so.called Anarchists in the hall and these utteranCes were hotly repudiated by them. When Burrows asked, "Is any authority to be allowed to the father and mother over young children in the family" No" shouted one, named Nelson, in response. 'If child is about to cut it's throat with a razor, is the parent to interfere?' "No" again thun- dered from the same quarter. Mellinger, in his reply to Burrows, said he would have no schools, nor any definite system of education for children at all "They should learn from nature alone"-even their letters, we suppose. Ben Tucker himself was outdone by these London anarchists; for, few weeks ago. he delivered a lecture in Boston, in which he declared that the child should belonQ to the mother (the father being "natur- ally" unknown) until it was of age. To be sure, these are the ethics of stallion or a bull, and it were better perhaps, after all, to be merely crazy, as Mellin- ger certainly is, than to be a Ben Tucker.

We predicted it, The ''Boodlers' Cen tral" is preparing to shake hands with the "Citizens," of whom the Rev. De Costa rightly said last Sunday that they should begin by reforming themselves, for such as they were the actual source of all political corruption. Among the shining lights of their campaign com

THE WORK BEFORE US.

THE WORK BEFORE US.
 So much of our space has lately been occupied by the conflict in the Central Labor Union, that no further comments are necessary concerning the events that brought about the final split last Sunday and the consequent reorganization of the Central Labor Federation. Full reports of these latest occurrences will, more over, be found elsewhere in this issue Without losing sight of the corrupt and so-called Conservative" elements which have so long impeded the march of pro. gressive labor and are still hanging upon our rear, we must now devote our atten- ton to the work marked out by the new conditions.
 A mere glance at it will show that this work is of the widest scope and highest import. The new central body' will unGnestionably endeavor to bring into its fold the various organizations which had already, before the split, withdrawn in disgust from the c. l.. U, This has to be done, yet without any sacrifice of the fundamental principle that must always be kept in view in order to carry out, steadily and progressively, the real purpose of labor organization.
 While a compromise from the start might induce larger membership at the beginning and consequent appear ance of strength, it would not fail to soon prove a source of weakness and in the end a cause of mpotency, Concila- tion and harmony in the future will be best promoted by the immediate adop. tion of strong, honest, open policy.
 Thus established, the Central Labor Federation may soon expect to represent nearly all the organized occupations of this city, with the exception of the building trades, whose misleaders have practically isolated them in that labor parliament, once so powerful and re- spected, now disgraced and impotent, which may be known henceforth as the "Boodlers' Central"
 But there are d number of other trades which are still insutficiently organized, or not at all; and in this field, parts of which are virgin soil, the Federation has great work to do, that will prove of incalculable benefit to the labor cause
 Nor should the building trades them selves be left at the mercy of their mis- leaders The rank and file are by no means the conservative idiots that their representatives in the "Boodlers' Cen tral" claim that they are and make them appear to be. Let better knowledge of the facts be spread among them, let the right sort of agitation be conducted in their midst, and they will at last for the most part repudiate their misleaders, reorganize themselves, if necessary, and join their fellow toilers of the Federa- tion.

His ideas of ''class movements are not less erroneous. There are now two classes only in the civilized world, the robbers and the robbed.

At the first meeting of these "Citi- zens', held last Tuesday night, MT.

The Kansas State authorities appear to be earnest in their fight against the corporations. After obtaining the con- trol of various lines of railway, the Missouri Pacific stopped operating them because they did not pay running expen- ses. An order of the Board of Railroad Commissioners, requiring the resump- tion of passenger service on those lines, was treated with contempt. In com munication to the Attorney General the Governor of Kansas observes that the action of the Company is ill plain viola tion of the law of the State, and asks whether or not there is power under the law to compel obedience. In conclusion he says: "If there is no remedy under the law as it now stands, it is of the highest importance to know it, to the end that the Legislature may at its next session provide one" The capitalist organs are of course shouting. "Despot- ism!" Monopolists want no public duties attached to the performance of public functions. But while the Governor of Kansas is unquestionably right, under the present system, in compelling cor porations to do their public duty accord ing to the law, the solution of the diff culty is evidently not in this direction.
 It is well, however, that such conflicts occur between the state authorities and
 the public monopolists, for the people

In relation to one of the chief argu- ments against the reduction of the hours of labor we find the following remarks in the Twentieth report of the Massa- chusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, recently published:
 "A common argument against a shorter working day is based upon the assumption that production is now car ried to it's full limit, and, therefore, that less time devoted to production per day would result in smaller aggregate product, and the gross amount of pro- duct being reduced, loss both in prof. it's and in wages would result. But as matter of fact, production is now far below it's possible limit. Very few few establishments are run to their full capacity, and large numbers are out of employment in their usual occupations for portion of the time each year. Production is practically unlimited, so far as the resources of manufacturers are concerned. It is limited only by consumption, or, in other words, by the demand. Consumption is limited by the unemployment of workers or by reduction of wages. If employment, although less per day, were continued through more days than now, or if dur ing busy seasons more persons were en- ployed, although for less time each day, the aggregate sum of wages might be increased, and the resulting increase in consumption would be met by in creased production; or, the grcss amount of product being increased, a gain both in profits and in wages would result"

Activity in invention, says Brad- streets, continues to be shown by the records of the patent offices of the more progressive countries. The annual report of the British Patent Office, just issued, shows that the number of applicants for patents last year was 21, ,008, an increase of about 10 per cent, over the preceding year. In fact, it appears from the figures given that since the passage of the act of 1883 patent applications have almost continuously risen in number year by year, and that the registrations of de- signs have also largely increased, but not so continuously as applications for patents.

Of the 2,62S miles ofrailroad in opera tion ill Canada, 4,973 miles are owned or leased by the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, the Grand Trunk coming next with 3,l14. In other words two thirds of the public highways, including the trunk lines, are now controlled and managed by two heads. One manage ment for the whole would, of course. be better still, provided it were national one, of the people, by the people and for the people. Our neighbors are fast coming to that, however, and we con- graduate them on the progress they are making towards it.

HOME CONSIDERATION.

The broad national and party reasons
which have been drged in favor of Senator
Squire as his own successor for the long
term should be alone sufficient to settle the
question-if there be any question-in his
favor, but there are other considerations
which concern the people of this state as a
whole, which of themselves should put the
matter beyond the range of controversy.
The term to be filed Is for six years. 1t
will extend throughout the remainder of
the present and the whole of the succeed
ing presidential term. Putting wholly
aside all party considerations, federal legis.
lation during these six years will be of
more importance to the local interests and
to the welfare of the state of Washington
than will be that of any ensuing twenty
years. In connection with surveys of pub
lie lands, river and harbor improvements,
public buildings and the like this state will
require to make heavy demands upon the
federal government within the next six
years, but with capable and influential
representation during that time will at the
end OF it be in good condition to stand
alone
1t is clearly essential that during these
years this state must be represented in the
Senate BY one who is thoroughly CONVEX.
SAINT with its resources, its condition and
its needs. II is not possible that any mere
tourist or casual visitor. however brilliant
or osservant. can have become thus famil.
lar with the condition and requirements of
the state. But Senator Squire, in his
capacity of territorial governor, became
necessarily acquainted with every nook and
corner of il, and fully advised OF all its re-
sources and necessities. His reports in
that capacity are universally accepted as
containing the most comprehens and
exhaustive disquisition on the subject that
has ever appeared from any source.
As an old resident and heavy investor.
identified with many of the most substan-
tial improvements and grandest enterprises,
he has given earnest of the permanency of
his interest in the state and of his identi-
fcation with its destinies That person
so situated: with his present fortune and
future aspirations so imminently at stake,
should labor more strenuously, more intel.
ligently and more effectively for the inter-
| est of the state than il would be reasonable
to expect from mere sdventurer and
ofice-seeker, is too plain to justify an argu-
ment in support Of ii. The welfare Of the
state. and every part OF il. demands the re-
| election of Senator Squire.
