THE SOCIALISTS ORGAN
Speaks Out Against the Kicks Decision
Infiammatory Editorial Utterances.


New YORK, April 4.-The following
is a translation of an editorial on the
Kicks decision printed this morning In
the Ne,O Yorker PolkS ZettltnQ, the
organ OF the socialists OF the United
States:
"The die is cast.
"The result which has been expected
by every one has been reached. Judge
Ricks, Of the Federal Court, OF Toledo,
has passed his sentence, and 1t Is
against the wage workers.
"Once more the power OF government
In this so-called free Republic has
shown by this slavish decision that II
is a power whose so-called laws are
framed exclusively in the interests OF
the capitalistic class.
"Again the American workingmen,
as class, have received unmlstaRaole
evidence of the fact that the so-caiIed
equality of all free born citizens OF TINS
country is nothing but humoug, moth
ing but a gigantic and Infamous lie In
the face OF the laws, the carrying OUT
of which makes the workingmen the
abject slaves OF capital. ,
"Again the governmental power OF
capital has shown itself without the
mask generally placed before its grim
face about election time. Again dose
of medicine that they were forced TO
swallow in 1856 has been given to them.
"Will the working people be cured
this time Of the foolish hope OF gaining
the smallest advantage from the capl-
talistic organization Of society?
"Will they understand that they
must trample upon laws which tramPle
upon their class interests?
"Will they understand that they must
give up fighting with each other? That
they must join hands for the coming
struggle against the common enemy Tor
a merciless war to bring the power OF
government into the hands Of the work
ing classes, and finally to overthrow the
capitalistic organization OF society and
establish socialism?
"If, in consequence. of the decision OF
Judge Kicks, the American working
men will understand this, we will be
glad that this decision has been render
ed, for then we shall have at least the
inevitable clear fight OF the working
class cgainst the exploiting class.
'The Judge has spoken. Now, work
ingmen, ii is your turn TO act"

of flames. In quick succession the
buildings on Baltimore street, occupied
by the New York Clothing Company,
Chas. White, dry goods. Thomas Coula-
han, groceries, and Sterns' clothing
store were Quilted.
Meanwhile the fire was spreading rap
idly u9 Mechanic street and with the

seemed certain.
Mayor Hebb telegraphed for assist
ance to Washington, ID. c., Pittsburg,
Martinsburg, West Va, Frederick,

Va, Meyersdale, Pa, and Bedford, Pa.
After six hours hard struggle the fire
was finally gotten under control, hav-
ing consumed six buildings on Mechanic
street and several buildings on Balti-
more street. Assistance had arrived st
about IL o'clock from Martlnsburg and
Bedford. Washington had started an
engine and two reels which were stop
nod hafora arriving
In all fifteen places OF business,
boarding house and restaurant and
seven dwelling houses were completely
destroyed.
While the fire was at its height up
town, another blaze was started by the
careless dropping OF a lighted match in
frame structure in the southern por-
tion of the city. Twelve buildings
were completely destroyed before this
second fire was subdued.
As nearly as can be estimated to-
night the total loss will foot up $780,
600.

friend to carry on secret correspond

the convicts, from which it was
shown that when private news
was to be supplied 10 pris-
oner formal letter, apparently con-

sent. This being read by the Governor,
would be passed on TO the prisoner, who,
understanding the missive, and that it
was only necessary to read between the

this perfectly deciphersble by rubbing
it over with dirty finger or an old
