PARIS. Jan. 1s. The government
will soon strike blow. 1t is reported
on excellent authority that there is
now ample evidence of royalist con-
spiracy, and that arrests will be made
at an early date. The conspiracy has
been heard in London and Madrid, and
the count of Paris, instead of having
been especially close in expenditures of
late Tor the royalist cause, has been
unusually lavish. Royalist influence
and funds have had much to dowith
the recent activity in revolutionary cir
cies IN Paris and it is reported that
much of the app,ause of the extremist
speakers at the Tivoli was furnished by
paid royttlist caterers. The royalist
pan seems to be to overthrow the re-
mbllc, by some means, no matter what
the means are, and to promote disor-
der, in the hope that the French people
will turn to the count of Paris or the
duke of Orleans for protection.

Chinese Labor Strikes.

Lee Merriweather Of the national la
Dor bureau says the Chinese working
men of San Francisco are organized into
the strongest unions to be found in this
country, and that they seldom if ever
lose strike. He declares that the Chi
nese are successful in their strikes on
account of the influence of the highb bind
ers, who mercilessly enforce the regula-
lions of the unions. If Chinaman
should return to work before the strike
was off, he would be blacklisted and
would very soon disappear. He might
go to the east or he might be murdered.
Californians care SO little for the Chinese
that no inquiries are made.
Mr.. Merriweather gives an instance If
a shoe factory in which both whites and
Chinese are employed. The proprietor
issued an order that the laborers must
stand while at work. Both whites and
Chinese struck, but within two weeks
the white workmen yielded and came
back. The Chinese, however, remained
out until the employer surrendered. Aft
er that the Cinnamon sat at work and
the white laborers stood.

Help For the Unemployed.

The east side relief work committee of
New York has issued an appeal for aid
in helping the unemployed below Four
teenth street. The committee says that
many men in the lower part of the city
have been without work for from four
to eight months. The plan of the COM
mittee is to supply extra street sweepers
in the tenement house districts and to
buy materials for the garment makers,
who have not strength enough for street
sweeping. The clothing manufactured
is to be sent to Miss Clara Barton of the
Red Cross society for the cyclone suffer

An increase of opportunity to earn money

will be given only to those whose condi-
ton is known and only by means of tick
cts, which cannot be obtained except
from certain sources.

English Strikes and Unions,

The first great strike in England was
the cotton strike in Preston in 1853. The
working class leaders were absolutely in
the right. The second was near the close
of the fifties, in the London building
trades. The third great one was that of
the engineers for nine hours day.
From that old trade unionism has
grown the greatest and strongest single
labor organization in the world-the
Amalgamated Society Of Engineers of
England. Its enormous fund is well in
vested and managed by the very best
trade unionists living.
The next strongest single labor organ
ization is the Amalgamated Cotton Spin
ners Of Lancashire, so powerful as to
have been able to maintain high rate
of wages and high standard of living for
the last 80 years.-William Clarke's Bos-
ton Address.

"anarchiet." To seek to better the work
ing peoples condition is to be criminal
there; to organize labor unions is to be
traitor to the government. Glasses
are fixed. the only exception being when
one of the nobility voluntarily steps
fr,m his rank aud devotes himself to the
cause of the people. The tyranny Of the
ruling classes is a terrible weight, crush
ing the lifeblood from the veins of the
peasantry. These suffer. drudge, obey
and live in such poverty as we cannot
realize. There is no redress for them,
no laws, no part of the government that
defends or protects them.
There is passage in Mark Twain's
Yankee In King Arthur's Court" con-
read in the gloom settling over our nine
tenth century civilization, rings out
like an alarm call at midnight:
Why, it is like reading about France and the
French before that ever memorable and
blessed revolution which swept thousand
years Of such villiany away in one swift tidal
wave of blood-a settlement of that hOary debt
in the proportion of half drop of blood for
slow tortures out of the people in the weary
stretch of ~ centuries of wrong and shame
and misery. the like of which was not to be
mated in hell. There were two 'Reigns OF
Terror"-the one wrought murder in hot pas
sion, the other in heartless, cold blood; the
one lasted mere months, the other had lasted
. thousand years; the one inflicted death upon
ten thousand, the other upon q hundred mil
lions; but our shudders are all for the ''hOr-
rors" of the minor terror. Whereas, what is
the horror Of swift death by the AK compared
with lifelong death from hunger. cold, insult,
cruelty and heartbreak? A city cemetery
would contain the collins hlled by the brief
terror, but all France could hardly contain
the collins filled.by that older and real terror
that unspeakably bitter and awful terror
which none of us has been taught to sse in its
vastness Or pity as it deserves.
It is the terrible story over again. with
the close Of the century approaching.
The inventive genius of that day played
its part in the tragedy. It is not strange
that the science of the nineteenth century
should be called into action. The gull
lotine did it's dreadful work then. Will
the wisdom of rulers and the wealthy
avert the awful part which scientific dis
coveries might play in this age? If only
we were 80 truly civilized that this nigh,
be the easel But what age ever takes its
lesson from the one just past?

Ind ustrial Democracy.

In New Zealand one of the notable
features of the socialistic regime has
been the adoption Of the grouping con-
tract system. When a railroad is built.
for example, the grading is given to q
group of laborers large enough to do the
work. This group appoints committee
to sign the contract with the government
for them, and the men elect their own
bosses and perform the work on a basis
OF pure democracy. Other portions of
the work are put out to other groups.
Sometimes trade union in body takes
the contract, and even the physically
weak members of the union receive the
same wages as the strongest, while the
superintendent or bosses receive no
more than the weakest laborers.

Government Eight Hour Law.


The Washington branch of the FEEDER
alton of Labor has protested to the au-
thorities against violation of the eight
hour law by sewer contractor. The
contractor claims that as he has suffered
considerable loss from severe storms and
tides on the Potomac his is lease of
extraordinary emergency" and should
therefore be exempted from strict en-
f0rcement of the law. It is the same old
story: When the plans of the captains of
industry are interfered with by fire, food
or other calamity, the whole burden is
shifted, if possible, to the shoulders of
the wagewOrkers concerned.
This case has again raised the question
of amending the eight hour law. which.
it is claimed, is to large extent in oper-
alton. The whole trouble seems to be
that contractors are enabled through
provisions for exceptions to practical
ly set aside the law at the times when it
was intended to be of some service and
benefit to labor.

Foreign Laborers Going Home.

The industrial depression has caused
many European workmen who came to
the United States during the past few
years to return to their native countries.
Thousands of Italians, Greeks and other
laborers who have been thrown out Of
work have taken passage for Europe dur
ing the past two months, and thousands
more are going as fast as they can get
away. They can live more cheaply in
their native countries than here, and the
rates for steerage passage eastward are
SO low that nearly all who desire to go
may do so. Some of these men will
probably return to this country next
spring if the outlook for work here
brightens. Many will never come back.

To NatiOnalize the Mines.

James Kier Hardie, socialist member
of the house of commons, addressed a
meeting Of socialists at Liverpool the
other day. He announced that he would
shortly introduce in parliament bill
providing for the naturalization Of
mi aes. Fifty million pounds, he said,
would represent the capitalized value of
the coal pits in Great Britain. The state
could raise loan of this amount at 81
per cent and take over the mines.
The Rev. Mr.. Parker in a sermon at
the City temple, London, commended that
the only way out of the mining crisis
was for the state to own all mineral
bearing lands. When this was done, all
the people would be land owners. and oil
would become employers.

Com te de Paris on Labor Unions.

The Comte de Paris during his exile in

his observation in an interesting book.

bly, while there was already in exist
ence a UNION of that trade. There you
have the root Of all the trouble

That difficulty can be avoided in the
future. and it must be if the labor forces
are to cope successfully with the condi-
LIONS which confront them. It Is not
my purpose, nor is it my business, to set
down here in elaborate detail form of
organization. That can be attended to
st the proper time by the authorized and
qualified representatives of labor. But
this much will say: The Knights of La
Dor should ct once amalgamate all their
trade assemblies with the unions of the
same trade, where such exist, and con-
fine their work hereafter to organizing
mixed assemblies, to building up their
districts which are the exclusive organi-
cations of their several callings, and to
assisting the trades unions III bringing
within their folds every craftsman who
is not associated with his fellow work
men. This last suggestion may make
some thoughtless or prejudiced Knight
smile, but l remember when that was
one of the cardinal principles of Knight
hood, and it did as much as any other
one thing to make the order popular and
strong. A great many bitter contests
will have to be closed, but they must be
closed if labor is to accomplish anything
for itself, and no true friend of the toiler
will stand in the way.
The trades unionists ON their part
must join hands with the organizers of
the unidentified workers, and, as they
did eight years ago, give Of their expe-
rience and means to the organization Of
all kinds Of laborers. The men with
trades, do not, with rare exceptions, &C.
cupy the independent positions they held
a few years ago, and no matter how sol
idly they may be organized the time has
come, fastened by labor saving machin-
cry, when they must stand or fall with
the unskilled workers. Intelligent trades
unionists know this, and, given some
thing to work upon, they are ready to act.
Finally, all the forces of labor must be
united by some form Of federation into
one greatAmerican union. 1t can be done,
and it will he done. If the men who are
at the front now are not willing to take
the necessary steps, others must lead off.
It is in the air. Come, ye captains of
the scattered army of industry, wipe out
all grudges and grievances and assemble
to counsel as comrades and patriots for
the marshaling of labor's hosts into the
grand army of the American union!

Mr.. Stephens called attention to the
deplorable condition of the workers, and
then said:
Where lies the fault that this condition of
things exists? Mainly with ourselves. Dis
jOnted and inharmonious, no concerted ac-
ton. not even much mutual respect. =
What is the remedy? Cultivate friendship
among the great brotherhood of toll; learn to
respect industry in the person of every intelli-
gent worker; unmake the shams of life by def
erence to the humble but useful craftsmen;
beget concert of action by Cancellation, conf
dence by just and upright conduct toward each
other.
Built upon these sentiments, ampli-
fed in the declaration of principles aft
erward adopted by the general assembly.
the order appealed to every thinking
worker, and as it became known of the
toilers grew. The general assembly was
formed in Reading, Pa, in January,

called and remained q short time. After
his departure the President and Mrs.
Cleveland came down stairs and ent red
q carriage to enjoy drive. The president
looked healthy and robust. His smile to
those about the White House door indi-
Gated that there WINS nothing that had
been reported from the Pacific or any
other place that disturbed him in the
least
There has been a general belief that the
president would discuss the Hawaiian
question i'm his message, and more inter
est than ever has been manifested i'm the
document on This account. NO news can
be expected from Hawaii until after the
message lis sent TO congress, and it was
Thought that in discussing the matter the
president would necessarily refer to the
instructions that had been given Minister
willis, and inform congress of what he
expected had taken place I'm the islands in
view of the instructions.
But it is stated at the White House that
this matter can easily be avoided by an
