LONDON. ENGLAND.
Enthusiastic Reception of the Ger

Enthusiastic Reception of the Ger
man Leader, Liebknecht.
Wilhelm Liebknecht, the renowned and
brave leader of the Socialist Labor Party
is holding rousing meetings in England
under the auspices of the Social Demo
cratic Federation and the Independent
Labor Party. Nothing could have been
more gratifying to all concerned, says Lon
don Justice of May 90, than the reception
accorded to our Comrade Liebknect on the
occasion of the first Of his series Of lectures
in England at the Queens Hall on Tues
day last. There was crowded and en-
thusiastic audience, whose sympathy with
the veteran soldier of the International
Social Democratic movement manifested
itself in perfect tempest of cheers when
he made his appearance. The speeches
were short and well delivered, and full of
the heightened enthusiasm for the cause
which the presence of this veteran of 10
young and ardent in the cause of Socialism
as the most youthful recruit-occasioned.
Liebknechts speech was in every way
worthy of the occasion. 1t was at once an
historical survey of the movement, tri
umphant justification of the policy of the
party, a refutation of Anarchist criticism,
q condemnation of So called State Social
ism, and q declaration for international
peace and solidarity, and of accord with
the principles and policy of the party in
this country. Not man or woman there
in sympathy with the cause Of the workers
who was not heartened and encouraged by
the sight Of this brave old Socialist who for
over fifty years has steadfastly borne the
heat and burden Of the fight
and by the quietly confident address
which he delivered. 1t was indeed notable
occasion, an occasion to mark an epoch in
the working class movement in this coun
try, and one which will be ever remem
bered by those who were present.

ing for the Great Interna-

A very important meeting Of the Zurich
Committee for the International Socialist
Workers and Trade Union Congress was
held OIL Thursday at the Offices Of the Par
liamentary Committee, 10 Buckingham
street, Strand. Present: Messrs, Ave-
ling, Macdonald, Mann, Pease, Quelch,
Smith and Thorne. Some Radical clubs
having applied for delegation to the Con-
gress, the Committee. bound by the Zurich
resolution, were unable to accept any dele
gates other than those of the trade unions
or Socialist organizations adhering to the
principle Of political action. The Agenda
Committee reported over 100 resolutions
which they had grouped under the heads:
Standing Orders, Agrarian Questions, Po-
litical Action, Economic and Industrial
Action, War, Education and Physical De-
velopment, Organization, Miscellaneous.
1t was decided to press upon the Congress
the necessity Of adopting the Standing Or
der recommended by the Organizing Com
mittee, to the effect that no amendments to
the Standing Orders should be accepted or
discussed after Monday. The effect Of this,
If the Congress indorse it, will be to con-
fine the discussion as to the admission of
Anarchists to the first day, which is by the
Standing Orders only short sitting. The
Hotel Committee reported that they had

The Death of Jean Volders.

The Death of Jean Volders.
By the death of Jean Volders the Social
list Party in Belgium, and the world, is
much the poorer. He, with Anseele Of
Client, was practically the founder Of the
Parti Ouvrier in Belgium. A tall, thin
man of great nervous and muscular energy,
Volders soon wore himself out as agitator
and editor of LIE Peuple, the paper which
he founded in 1885, and which has con-
tinued the chief organ Of the movement in
Belgium. His brain gave way just at the
time when his labors were about to be
crowned with the brilliant success Of the
Belgian elections, when Socialism swept
over the country like great wave. Since
then he has been an inmate of an asylum
near Brussels, where he died on Monday
night in the fortieth year of his age. His
warfare is over; he rests from his labors,
but his works do follow him.
Why Socialist Progress is Compare
lively Slow In Belgium.
Belgium is the country in which the So
cialists are the most strongly represented
ness of the results achieved in that coun-
try is freely commented upon by the friends
as well as by the adversaries Of Socialism.
This apparent failure is, no doubt, partly
to be accounted for by the presence of
powerful and united reactionary majority
which the other parties cemented together
by common fear of Socialism, have sent
against them to the chamber; but it is also
due to the inherent difficulties of curing
one aiiment of the body polite without
creating a new ailment. John Morley's
smile about diving ramrod through the
delicate mechanism Of society was a good
one, though he used it as an excuse for do
ing nothing instead of making it a reason
for exercising skill and caution. The fact
that the land, which is at the root of pri-
vate capitalism, is owned by bgoted and
and numerous peasantry, makes it difficult
to work radically and scientifically in Bel.
GUM, and makes the task of the Belgium |
Socialist Legislator as delicate and intri-
cate as one can well imagine. An in

done. Until yesterday the differing
professors were quiet about it-they
were not as noisy as the impulsive
Spanish students, the public was not
aware that a row was on. The report
OF differences did not reach the surface
until the state board of education took
the trouble up. 1t appears that three
members Of the faculty were dismissed
by the local board. Those who were
dismissed declare that injustice has
been done them, that their reputation
is at stake, and that formal charges
against them ought to be brought and
tried before the state board.
On the other hand, the members of
the local board assert that IT is their
business to hire and discharge Booze

bic. IL there is any, is their affair; that
the three professors were dismissed for
cause, and that the state board has no
function in the affair. Some of the To-

NOT UP TO THE MARX

II is the fashion to impute to west
ern journalism" as it's especial posses
sion, the vulgar personality sometimes
found in editorial type. Often the gifted
editor in the East puts JUNCTION in
his headline as he quotes this or that
screed which is alleged to be the pro-
duct of some Rocky-Mountain printing
office but which is more apt to be the
creation of some INDECENT scribbler in
New York's newspaper row.
Speaking of the amenities or the
proprieties or the ethics or by what
ever name they are called, here is what
the New York Sun said, last Thursday,
of its next-door neighbor:
Pulitzers methods in the conduct of the
World are those of a vulgar swindler.
Swindling pervades the paper throughout,
the swindling of the petty thief, the bun
co steerer, the footpad. 1t is about time
that all self-respecting citizens, especially
our great merchants, who have the best
interests of our city at heart. IL is about
time, we say, that they should address
themselves to Furnishing this common and
malignant enemy as he deserves.
Pretty tart talk that, yet not well
put; the New York Sun would wisely
send to Arizona or Oklahoma, If it
wants artists in the style IL aims to
ape. The reading public will simply
conclude that the Sun must have lost
the county printing. The paragraph
is warm, but Ii is clumsy-it does not
impress on the mind of the unpreju-
diced reader the great truth that the
Sun really and truly wishes the World
were run by a nobler man. AS a sam
pie of meritorious, hard-hitting, yoube-
dam editorial hot stuff, the paragraph
is not triumph. The woolly West can
furnish more incisive material by the
yard.
In the same edition-that of last
Thursday-we discover on the Suns
editorial page this five-line fragment:
We beg leave to observe to General
Thomas ii. Hubbard that the present ed
itor of his Commercial Advertiser is as
thoroughbred a knave and as nasty a
blackguard as has recently projected him
self before public scrutiny.

westernesque. 1t has point Somehow.
IL means more and IL is meaner 1t
leaves nothing to the Imagination ex-
cept the bright and shining hip-pocket
companion of the caliber approved in
Texas towns.
Yet, within thirty days we have seen
better abuse than this interchanged by
our two gifted contemporaries in mod
est Missoula. ninety miles away; and all
the provocation in the world that these
our wrangling neighbors had to start
with was the accusation brought by
one of them that the fellow over the |

Going Cunning without Ammunition.

Detroit Free Press: This country can
not expect to issue mandatory proclama-
tons, have its representatives indulge in
inflammatory speeches and openly assail
monarchial forms of government without
arousing a feeling of resentment. II is
foolhardy to the verge of idiocy to clear
the way for trouble of the most serious
character and make no preparations to
meet II. We have gone cunning without
arms or ammunition. We do not need a
vast military establishment. but we do
need adequate coast defenses, the APP
proaches to the lakes protected and our
navy strengthened. With these well man.

any volunteer forces demanded. we would
not only reduce the chances of war to a

1t is a fact that Hill never drinks
liquor in any form or dances so much
