been the settled purpose Of the
trusted leaders of tho Democratic
party for years to call a conat;tm-
tlonal convention, and obyiate the
dangers which have urged in our
midst 80 long, only waiting tor a
DIVISION among the whites to rear
their horrid heads. That division
ls now more than apparent,
The reality is upon us. The peo-
pie through the Representatives
IN the Legislature and the Demo
cratic convention has time and
again demanded that such q con-
Ventlon be called. Those newspn-
pers which claim to be Democratic
and which antagonized this great
reform are either bling leaders of
the blind or the servile tools of the
conspirators.
We warn the white men who
love South Carolina and would
sec constitution of good goyern-
ment, and the rule of an intelli-
gent white majority to thrust aside
and pay no heed to tho arguments
OF those who seek to blind them to
true 'nnterests. After long year
OF struggle, the opportunity is
presented to them of fixing this
thing forever. All questions to be
passed on by the convention can
30 discussed when the election of
delegates is to take place. It is a
siander and al insult to say that
the people have not the patriotism
and intelligence to elect mon from
among themselves, to frame an or
game law better suited to our
wants than that imposed OH us by
the carpet-bagger and alien. The
wlsest and the best of our citizen
ship can chose to perform this del
lcate and patriotic duty without
regard to faction, once the conven-
tion is ordered. The point which
we would urge with all the vigor
at our command ia that the oppor-
tunlty is now here. It certainly
ls not likely to soon recur. If the
people fail to seize it and the evils
OF mongrelism, governmental de-
bauchery and political demoral-
lzatlon shall descend upon tho
ocaIe hltef inc next election, they
will have mono to blame but them

There is highway on which the Orange

seems to be in blissful ignorance of the
fact. Instead of loving his neighbor as
the Lord commands, he hates him under
the pretense of being q patriot. The
good book says that abe who hates his
brother is murderer" and the Lord
from Mount Sinai give this command

he does at present.

Nix. w. T. STEAD, the distinguished
London editor, has been in America for
same weeks, part OF which time has
been spent in Canada. Mr.. Stead hae
long been warm friend OF Lord and
Lady Aberdeen, and his recent sojourn
at Ottawa as the guest of the Governor
General has resulted IN very readable
and complete character sketch of Lor
Aberdeen and his accomplished wife,
which appears in the January number
of the Review of Reviews. The article
is one which will be interesting in North
America on both sides of the boundary
line and interesting also in Great Brit
ain. The article is profusely and at
tractively illustrated. It is followed by q
summarized report of the address given
by Mr.. Stead in Toronto upon the mis-
sion and destiny OF Canada, in which Mr..
Stead dwells especially upon the position
of Canada as connecting link between
the British and American halves of the
English speaking race.

appears then that but little attention q

the next election? Mr. Ballard says tbs
although there are several individuals
and journals, as we'll as an association Of
which Labouchere is president, that oc.
casionally hint ut ending" the House Of
Lords, there is as yet no really organized
movement to abolish it. John Morley ie
the author of the jingle az to lending or
mending," but thus far he has shown nc
disposition to bring about either OF them
:
Herbert Gladstone, con Of the 'Grand
Old Man." made a speech in the late
election st Accrington, which was won
by the Liberals, in which he boldly de-
clared that III the Honse Of Lords per
sisted in it's reckless and foolish conduct
it would have to face the Indignation,
the inyeterate hostility, and the determ-
nation to put it down of the whole of
the Liberal party" Other speakers have
made similar threats, but the Lords ap.
pear to go on in the even tenor OF thelc
way without feeling alarmed. When the
Home Rule bill and other measures are
sent 10 the upper house after the Liberal
party has been reelected by a large ma
jority OF the English people, the Lords
may take q tumble. If they don't, the
House of Commons may resort to force
and abolish the House of Lords by q
revolutionary act. The Queen dare not
refuse to sign bill for the aboliehment
OF the upper chamber after it passes the
Commons. 1t was abolished once before
in the da, 8 OF Cromwell, but that regiclde
restored 1t after eight years, in order
that he may have something to stand be-
tween him and the lower house. The
probability is that the Lords will recede
from their position and PASS aD the billt
to preserve a house OF hereditary legis
latora. They did so bsfo1e, ia 1882, after
rejecting the great Reform bill. There
is strong under-eurrent of feeling
among the English as we'll as the Irist
ana Scotch against the aristocracy at the
present time, and If the Lords continue

WHAT is SOCIALISM?

! We print elsewhere in this issue COM
munication from entleman who dis
agrees With the views expressed in our
recent editorial on socialism. Had he
perused tho article with care he would
not have taken lis to task for confound-
ing socialism with anarchism. We say,
however, that the two are closely allied,
tho first being q modified form Of the
other, which he describes as a @socisl
disease Of malignant type" Socialism is
anarchlsm in it's incipient stages, and
when advocated by ignorant men is likely
to develop into anarchy. Prot. Richard
T. Ely, whom our correspondent quotes
in his letter, seems to be Of the same
opinion, for in recent article in Harper's
Weekly he declares that socialism would
be All extremely dangerous experiment
with men of the kind with which we
have TO deal in present society," and then
he goes on to say that: 1T is to be
seriously apprehended that under social
ism either political revolution would fol-
low political revolution with rapidity
which would make progress impossible,
or that the whole new Industrial system
would be overthrow, and return made
to the discredited social order. Even
If it is granted that socialism might pro-
duoe better results than our present in
dustrisl system, this objection woul1
still hold true, for even under the best
social system there would necessarily be
complaint more or less we'll grounded"
Our correspondent egregiously errs
when he says that 1.-The human fends
who murdered landlords in Ireland be-
long to the Anarchists" Nothing is far
ther from being the truth than that rash
statement. Had he been acquainted
with the agrerisn war IN ireland when
landlords we're shot be would say with
the late Petroleum V. Nasty that the
tyrants richly deserved their fate, and
with the late James Redpath that the
rifle which killed Lord Lsltrim for his
libertinism add cruelty should be placed
in the church AZ sacr weapon. An
archlsm is unknown among the Irish
people at home and abroad, and our cor
respondent should not make such flip
pant charge when there is not particle
OF foundation to sustain it.
We claim to be true friend of all
honest labor and have always advocated
the rights of the working men during
the publication of this journal. We are

to monopoly and every trust and combi-
