AiT. Harter argues that it is robbery to
ask the laboring man to accept short

A soCIALIsTIC PLAN OF REST.

The International Socialist Work aen's
Congress, which is to meet at Brussels on
the 10th, will have before it a mass of
hard nuts to crack, Judging from the list
of questions to be discussed Some Of
them are very timely and others are mat
tiers that might as well be left severely
alone. If they succeeded in correcting
all the alleged abuses they name employ
ers would find it to their advantage to
change places with the men.
One of the most peculiar ideas of the
congress is to suppress the piece-working
system. That is a system which has
worked greatly to the advantage of the
men wherever it is used and they are thus
able to earn better wages than by ebay
work" By this system the expert work
man gets his due and his wages are not
regulated by what his slower neighbor
does. 1t is also Of advantage to the en-
ployer, as he is not compelled to pay the
idler for doing days work when he does
not do more than few hours work. 1t
is extremely soeialistic for men to demand
work by the day so that they do not lose
by idle moments, and that is what the
idea of the congress apparently is; but
the most skilled and competent working
men will not indorSe universaLapplica-
ton of the rule,

SWEET champagne has been dist1nctively
a lady's wine, and so it is interesting to
know that the German Emperor drinks it
in preference to dry champagne. A tipple

M. WADDINGToN, the French Ambassa-

upon he would soon be forced to retire, for
the ornate splendor Of the receptions given
at the Embassy more than absorbs his

his father, the famous "Parson" of the Knox
Vile Wing, once wrote an editorial in de-
fense Of secession and then changed his
views because rival got ahead of him. The
Colonel says "No such thing occurred. So
far from his having ever written an editorial
in favor of secession know that he never
hesitated moment regarding that question.
He was always against secession, and / am
sure you would not find q Confederate TO-
day in Knoxville who will say otherwise"
