DUBLIN SOCIALIST UNION

Home Rule, "Pure and Simple" Discus
sed by Socialist Speakers-Without
Socialism, 1t Means the Rule of Irish
Farmers, Publicans, C1ergymen and
Party Politicians over Labor and at
it. Expense-Ireland Needs What Eng
land and Scotland Need, and that is
Socialism.
They have Socialist Union in Dublin
and it is doing good work. At its weekly
meeting on January Mr.. King lectured
on "Home Rule as a Social Panacea." :"
He thought that though it was just that
Ireland should struggle for Home Rule,
and that under it some of the present
suffering would disappear, yet the same
class tyranny would continue, the mas.
ses would still be coerced into bondage
and it would only alleviate the sutferings
of few and place them in the ranks of
the classes, leaving the great body of the
people groaning under the same servi-
tude as before. England enjoyed Home
Rule, yet every twentieth person was a
pauper He concluded by stating that
the nearer a nation progressed towards
Socialism the greater was the happiness
of the people.
Mr.. j. G. Collier said that the Irish
people were only flying from the evils
they knew to those they knew not Of
Mr.. OGorman contended that Home
Rule, pure and simple, meant the rule
of the farmer, the publican, the clergy.
man, and the party politician; each of
these classes looked at Home Rule from
their own point of view. The farmer
hoped to be able to get absolute posses
sion of the land, and then ignore the
claims of labor with the assistance of the
other classes he had just mentioned
who, he said, were the most conserva-
tive classes in the community and would
draw the people after them. The publi-
can would be a strong factor in home
parliament. The clergy, who as rule,
sprung from the classes and imbibed
class prejudices from their youth up
wards, would also sDe enemies of pro.
gress.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick thought until the
power of the priests was broken, it
would be dangerous to introduce Home
Rule into Ireland. They were always
the upf olders of tyranny, and the enc
mics of progress.
On the 22d of January lecture on the
obstacles to Progress was delivered
by j. G. Burn. The discussions of this
society are attracting widespread atten
ton.

Total cost

For these 65 coats the contractor,
or sweater" receives-at the rate of u
shillings per coat-$97.50, and therefore
makes net profit of $49.32 per week on
the work of one machine and of num-
Der of people whose total earnings on
the said coats are $45.1S
Many OF the contractors have five,
six and seven machines running on this
plan for about eight months of the year,
during which the season lasts. Their
business requires total investment of
one month rent, in advance, of the shop
in which the work is done, and $15 in
lumber to fix up that shop. They can
hire Singer machines or pay for them
by monthly installments. That they get
rich while their hands remain in the
most abject misery, goes without saying.

ming work at a. IN. and working stea-

only 30 minutes each for dinner and
supper, an operator can only make IS
coats, for which he receives SIS. This
requires also the work of a baster, who
cannot baste more than the operator
makes, and receives 1888 for basting
So coats. Again, it requires tinisher,
who is said to receive 80 per week for
finishing 7S coats, but who actually
loses one day through the inabi-
lity of the operator to turn out
more than IS coats, and therefore earns
only $50 per week. Lastly, these 50
coats require 260 button holes, which are
paid at the rate Of Is cents per 100, or "a
total of $l,95, We must add IS for

The story of the Jesuit missionaries of

the old world, md stands as a beacon
light for posterity to ponder over

made in other days by the clerical agents
who undertook to supply the Indian reser-
v%ations, before a bigoted Morgan or an
idiotic Dorchester, or such other ty1ants
were flung upon a miserable world to at1iict
us with their erroneous views and ideas.
Was it not the Jesuit Copley who by his
voice and influence urged the great act of
liberation which has ever been the pride
and glory of Maryland? Who underwent
more tragic sutfetinSs than The sanity
and Brebeuf? When we contem-
plate the trials of the De Smets, Ruyallis,

divinity of that religion which nerved their
and gave power to their arms to offer
up the most holy sacrifice of the mass.

OK January 1 next the Weather
Bureau of the Department of Agri-

system of publishing weather fore
casts which will make them more
useful to the public than they are at

dictions are somewhat belated, those
published in the morning papers be-
ing for period which has nearly
half expired, and those appearing in
the evening papers being still leas

hours at which the observations are
made, s a. m. and s p. m. 1t is pro-
posed from January 1 on to make
the predictions in each case cover
the time until midnight of the next
day, so that the predictions printed
in the morning papers will appear
early in the day to which they ap-
ply, and those printedin the evening
papers will be for the day after.
Under this system the public will be
informed of the expected weather Oh
the evening before, and an improved
forecast will be given the next morn

P. A.-Push Ahead!
The surveyors have established
their chief camp in the eastern sub
urbs.
The graders were considerably de-
layed by the rains, but they are
once more &C work and are pushing
things with a vim.
Contractor Barrett received 16
large wheel scrapers Wednesday,
and with this addition to his forces
he will be able to push things.
The surveyors are cross-sect1oning
as rapidly as possible and as fast as
the cross sections are finished the

the line.
The comparative distance from
New York to the City OF Mexico by
the various lines now in operations
is as follows:
From New York to City of Mexico

can Inter Nationally, 3210 miles; via
Laredo, (Mexican National Ma,
290S miles via Victoria and Browns
vile by the Pan-American route,
2630 miles.
This gives the Pan-American Rail
way The advantage of 1919 miles
less than Mexican Central Route via
Ell Paso, $50 miles less than Mexi-
can International Route via Eagle
Pass 27S miles less than Mexican
National Route via Laredo. The
Mexican National (via Laredo), be-
ing narrow gauge roa6, with
heavy mountain grades, cannot be
considered as a competitor with the
Pan-American Railway, which runs
through comparatively open coun-
try with light grade and easy curva-
lures, which enables this route to
obtain high rate of speed, with
perfect safety, thus saving twenty
four hours time for passenger and
forty-eight hours for freight, over
any of the other lines. Establishing
the Pan-American Route gives this
country the shortest and greatest
intercontinental road between the
United States and the City of Mexi-
co and the South and Central Amer
lean Republics.
