One reason why these May demonstrations
in Europe have so much significance to labor
is tine fact that in most countries their local
laws are SO suppressive that they have no
other means of making their wants and their
purposes known. Over in America, where
there is broader liberty and where sssocia-
lions are not under the espionage Of spies
and the press is open to labor advocates, nc
great demonstrations or gatherings are need
Ell to impress on the law-making power the
necessity for proper legislation. In England
and on the continent there is always an ele-
ment of danger in the assembling of these
vast throngs. On May day, 1858, it was
estimated that 100000 workingmen marched
into Hyde ark, listened to addresses from
Morris, Burns, Arch and other well known
labor and socialistic egitators. This repre-
sents more than half the voting population
OF the greatest city in the world, and if to it
be added the hundreds of thousands of I'M
organized men and women living perpetually
on the edge OF want, with hardly home, and
no feeling of patriotism ready to follow the
leader of any outbreak in work of desola-
ton, we can see some reason why extra
brlgades of troops should be ordered to Lon
don and all the police reserves called out on
the first of May. If this vast gathering,
properly led, We're to assert itself for revolu-
ton, the red coats and blue coats of London
would be swept from its path like straw
from torrents course, and all the hereditary
rulers, and the throne itself, would go down
before it. But to the credit of the working
Englishman be it said, these great demon
STATIONS have SO far passed off without one
lawless act on the part of any member of any
LABOR organization. This in itself demon
strates that the English workingman fully
appreciates his privileges. recognizes that
they elevate his manhood, and so will never
let any accession of liberty degenerate into
the license Of the mob.
On the continent, however, it is very dis-
ferent. France, though e republic, still re-
tains many of the methods that distinguished
the monarchy from whose ruins it sprang.
Here the suppressive measures of the govern
ment have heen unnecessarily harsh, and tho

This fierce, bloodthirsty ruffian. who was

A TIMELY GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE.
The Condition of Labor in Spain, POr-
tusal. Italy and Russia-The Great
Gatherings in LondoHlThe Condi.
ton in France, Belgium and
Switzerland. -

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 1.-THE govern
ments of those European countries in which
there are labor organizations look forward
with increasing anxiety each year to the first
of May. This is the day selected by Labor
itself on which to make its street parades,
gather in the parks of the great cities, under
its own banners, and listen to it's chosen ora
tors and leaders.
In Spain, Portugal, Italy and Russia, where
the workingman is as yet but little better than
serf, and is as a rule extremely ignorant,
incapable of feeling his sufferings or appreci-
ating his rights, labor has made but little
effort to assert itself. It is claimed by some
of the European leaders of the proletariat
that the heads of -the Greek and Catholic
churches have more to do with the suppress
sion of labor organizations in the countries
named than have the governments. Guilds
or associations Of mechanics and tradesmen
are of great antiquity in England, but the
new labor organizations that fairly honey
comb that country at this time are of very
recent origin. Ten years ago there were in
France, Belgium, Switzerland and Holland
local organizations of workingmen associated
for the purpose Of mutual assistance in case
of sickness or inforced idleness, but there
were no associations that covered these
points as we'll as having for their object the
elevation and improvement of labor ITSELF
Prior to 1870 there were in the United
States no great national associations of work
ingmen, skilled or unskilled, such as the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the
Knights of Labor, the American Federation
of Labor. the International Typographical
Union, and other bodies that work separately,
though having a common purpose. In this
matter of the labor organizations America
seems to have led, though it should be said
without any intent to do injustice to the
workingmen there, that their methods of
procedure have not always been such as to
excite the sympathy of the people at large or
to result to their own advancement.
From time immemorial May day in Great
Britain and on the continent has been re-
garded by the working people as something
of holiday and though it fell into disuse in
the cities, it continued to be observed in the
agricultural districts. It was this fact, no
doubt which induced the International Con-
gress of Labor that assembled in Paris in
1888 to adopt it as its own special day
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1894-04-29

1t is also claimed that the date was fixed
by the American labor organizations, which
sent a petition to the Paris congress, asking
them to set apart a day for the simultaneous
demonstration of workingmen throughout
the world, and suggested May 1. If this be
the case. the American organizations sub
sequently changed their minds, for in our
country the national day for labor is the first
Monday in September. However, the date,
and the reason for it, are matters of no i'm
portance. Labor day in the United States is
simply parade of workingmen, more or less
picturesque, depending on the nationalities
engaged, but as yet it Is not regarded with
suspicion by capital, nor has it any political
significance.
In Europe they seem to have managed their
labor organizations with more skill, and in a
way to show to the government and to their
employers something of their capacity for
organization, and to give an idea of their ire
mendous strength, and the use that might be
made of it for beneficial or instructive pur-
poses. When men of different races, differ
ent creeds, speaking different languages,
and bound together only by the common tie
of labor, unite for the purposes of mutual
defense and offense as they have done in
Europe, the position becomes so serious, or
at least OF such vital importance, as to com
mand the attention of the ablest statesmen
and provoke speculation as to it's possfbili-
ties.
Mr.. Samuel P. Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, told me when
in New York that the labor organizations of
America are, as they should be, in entire
sympathy with those of Europe, and he be-
leves that before long the first Monday in
September viii be abandoned, and the first
day in May be adopted as the date for the
assembling Of labor organizations throughout
the world. The only purpose of this can be
to bring these associations into closer SYM
patty, and under proper influences to i'm
press all with the idea of race unity and the
hr.nfhArhnnd OF man.

Alex. Sweets Stories OF the
Early Days of Texas

One day was talking with Judge Schultz,
OF austin, Texas, about the early days of
Texas. During the conversation, the Judge
impaired the following interesting reminis-
cence OF Col. York, after whom the town of
Yorktown is named.
Judge Schultz came to Texas from Ger
many with his mother and sister. when he
was mere boy, and made his home near the
hourishing German settlement on. York's
creek. The judge went on to tell how, being
unacquainted with backwoods life, he built a
s CABIN, which, however, as far as protection
from the rigor of the Texas norther was con-
cerned, was an architectural failure. The
roof leaked, the covering being of cotton
cloth, while the door, which was constructed
on the north side Of the cabin, and consisted
OF curtain, was just where the norther
wanted it, so to speak, in order to make the
cabin as cold and chilly as possible.
Young Schultz conceived the idea Of cutting
down tree and making roof of the boards.
although his strength and experience al the
business were rather limited. The land, and.
OF course, the trees, was owned by man
named York, who was the terror of the whole
country. He bore the reputation OF being
desperate Of the worst possible character
when drunk, which seemed to be his normal
condition He had special animosity against
those whom he suspected of stealing the tim
Der off his land. Nevertheless, young Schultz
determined to saw down tree and make a
roof for the cabin that SO inadequately shell
tered his mother and sister 1t was his in
; tenti9n to saw down tree, and then get
permission from York to use any tree he
found lying on the ground.
Armed with hand-saw, said the Judge,
went out into the darkness, and searched
until found tree thought would answer
the purpose I knelt down in the sand at
the foot OF the tree and began my labor with
the saw, and with fear and trembling The
noise of the saw caused me indescribable
anxiety. I had not been at work more than
five minutes, when my hair curled in my
veins, to use mixed metaphor heard a
most fearful and prolonged oath, that seemed
to come down from the sky. In my terror, I
believed that it proceeded from somebody up
in the tree.
. l glanced around, and there lowered over
me an Immense horse, and on the horse a
correspondingly large man. They were not
spectres. The man had a pistol in his hand,
and he was none other than York himself.
