The shipbullders' Trouble.


The engineers dispute is stage nearer
settlement, says a London correspondent.
The employers, after a great outcry on the
part Of their organs in the press that they
would not resile from their Glasgow offer,
have done so. They have offered the Clyde
men farthing an hour for all under seven,
pence, and another farthing an hour all
round, to come into force at once. These
terms the Clyde men, by majority,
agreed to accept. Belfast men were Of
fered shilling per week at once If they
resumed work, but they all but unani-
mously rejected the offer, whereupon
the Clyde employers locked their men
out afresh There is nothing left for the
Clyde men, therefore, but to stand by their
Belfast colleagues. That the Lagan men
will get their second shilling week there
can be no manner of doubt, and the Clyde
men must insist on having their minimum
of z led per hour. The employers are
standing together; so, too, must the men.
Money is coming in more freely. The Min
ers' Federation voted $500 and promised
GlUU per Week sO lOhb 90 ohO
struggle lasts. But the Clyde men
should lose no delay in making their de-
mands known. At present there is an
appearance of division in the ranks.
This must be closed, and at once, by the
Clyde men declaring that they will not re
turn to work until the Z led. has been
conceded. We repeat what we said last
week, that the employers are powerless
to help themselves, and have no option
but to concede the mems fair and temper
ate claims. The Executive Of the A. S. L.
would not dare back down, even if they
were so minded, which we do not believe
them to be.
Since writing the above we learn that the
Executive of the A. s. E. have practically
ordered the Belfast men to accept the
terms offered. II this turns out to be so, 1t
will probably disrupt the society. Clyde
men, it is reported, are to be allowed to
resume work at the price of this betrayal of
the Belfast men. We trust the whole story
may turn out to be unfounded.

Severe Measures Against the Social
lists Proposed by the Governs
ment of Saxony.
A franchise bill has Teen introduced into
the Saxon Diet which proposes to abolish
the electoral system ut present in operation
and substitute therefor the plutocratio
Prussian system of indirect election in
classes The first of these classes COM
prises voters who have an income of 10000
marks year and upward, the second
composed of those having incomes Of
not less than $500 marks year
and tho third made up of rate
payers, each class electing one-third
of a college Of electors, which college
selects tho deputies composing the landtag.
The result of the operation Of this system
in Saxony will be that the workmen and
rate payers all in the third class, will be
outvoted in the college of electors two to
one, ana consequently will have no repre-
sentatives in the landtag at all. The bill is
recognized by all parties as step toward
the abolition of universal suffrage through
out Germany. Prince Bismarck has con-
graduated the Saxon government upon its
introduction of the bill and VIM. Liebknecht
and other Socialist leaders are stamping
Saxony in opposition to it. A desperate
struggle between the people and the gov
eminent is expected.

annals of our own, must all the more care
fully gather from the records of our COM

Political history is none the less useful

may at once usefully study the achieve
ments of the Socialists in the French
cssmber during the past year to trace the
causes of their success.
Their policy has been one of persistent
denunciation of abuses addressed rather
to the country at large than to the servile
mass of their venal fellow members IN
whose ears their words were spoken,
coupled with jealous and patriotic inter-
vention in contructive legislation.

~ sing the hymn of the conquered, who
fell in the battle of life
The hymn of the wounded, the beaten,
who died overwhelmed in the strife
Not the jubilant song Of the victors, fol
whom the resounding acclaim
OF nations was lifted in chorus, whose
brows wore the chaplet Of fame
But the hymn of the low and the humble,
the weary, the broken in heart,
Who strove and who failed, acting brave
ly, asilent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower on its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize they
had grasped at, who stood at dying
Of day
With the work of their life all around
them, unpitled, unheeded, alone,
With death swooping down Ger their
failure, and all but their faith over
thrown.
While the voice Of the world shouts its
chorus, its pecan for those who have
won
While the trumpet is sounding triumph
ant, and high to the breeze and the
Gay banners are waving, hands clapping
and hurrying feet
Thronging after the laurel crowned VIC
tors-I stand on the field Of defeat,
In the shadow, 'mongst those who are
fallen, and wounded and dying-and
there
Chant a requiem low, place my hand on
their pain knotted brows, breathe
prayer,
Hold the hand that is helpless, and whis-
per, "They only the victory win
Who have fought the good fight and have
vanqu'shed the demon that tempts us

Who have held to their faith unseduced by
the prize that the world holds on high.

Socialist View of the Troubles I'm the
South African Republic.
London Justice. referring to the wal
troubles in South Africa, says: $50 far as
the facts are known, Jameson raid was,
as we have said, but the outcome of huge
conspiracy which has been Matching fol-
months and months. Enormous supplies
of arms and ammunition have been sent
out to Buluwayo and johannesburg by
steamers chartered by Jew and other
financiers.
"Oficers and gentlemen, who are at
the head Of some of the companies formed
for the development Of South Africa,
have been for some time busily engaged in
drilling the miners at Buluwayo and on the
Rand. Everything was ready, and the po-
litical claims of the precious "Outlanders'
served as pretext and blind for carrying
out the scheme. Only their own blunder-
ing, the supineness and cowardice of the
"Outlanders'' and the alertness, vigor,
and pluck of the Beers prevented the sue
cess of the design Of these scoundrels.
That the real brutal sordid, mercenary
nature of the whole business is attempted
to be hidden behind a lot of balderdash
about the courage and patriotism of the
raiders, and the political grievances Of the
"Outlanders'' is because robbery and plum
der ON the part of the class for whose spe-
cial benefit this particular piece of infamy
was planned are their normal occupations.
People have got so accustomed to the exer-
else by the confiscating classes of their right
to rob that one piece Of robbery more or less
does not surprise them, does not stir their
indignation nor outrage their moral sense.
Unconsciously, as it were, the right of
might to plumber, has come to be &C
knowledged; and whether it be British
factory operatives or miners or other wage
slaves; Indian ryots, Egyptian fellaheen,
African Zulus, Kaffirs, or Hottentots, or
Dutch settlers, makes no material differ
ence, the principle is precisely the same
And this is not question Of race or nation
either; it is simply the exploiters against
the exploited. Only their superior skill
with the rifle saved Kruger and his Beers
from the fate of Lobengula and his Mata-
beles. But then this fate was no
worse than that infected by the
Beers upon the natives whom they
have "'driven out, ;supplanted and
enslaved; no worse than German

very estimable young man the other
night met with remarkable accident.
Along toward morning she grew sleepy,
and while yawning dislocated her jaw.
Two doctors were summoned, and,
after putting the patient under the in
fuence of chloroform, succeeded in re-
storing the jaw to its proper position.
The moral of this should be plain to
every young man who escorts young

Report from the Miners Convention.
Keir Hardie writes:
''The Miners Federation has once again
walked its annual mill horse round. The
resolutions passed are practically the same
as they have been any time these past ten
years. Nor has Mr.. Pickard, the Presi-
dent, single suggestion to make for
bringing their realization one step
nearer. He says the present gov
eminent opposed every proposal made
by the late government for short
ening the hours of labor and
increasing wages. The statement is untrue,
and unless Mr.. Pickard's memory be fail
ing, he knows it to be untrue. The fair
wages resolutions were adopted unani-
mously by the House Of Commons, whilst
the adoption of the eight hours in the gov
eminent work shops was a departmental
order which was never called in question by
the House. AS for the Miners Eight
Hours Bill, Mr.. Pickard cannot possibly
have forgotten that the fatal amendment
thereto was moved by the Liberal coalmas-
ter, d. A. Thomas, and seconded by the
Liberal coalmaster, Sir James Joicey.
The contracting out amendment to the en-
ployers' libility bill was first moved by the
Liberal j. A. Maclaren, then M. p. for
Crewe. Mr.. Pickald further states that
the late Government sought to ameliorate
the condition of the unemployed! This
statement is too glaring to call for com
ment. The one statement in Mr.. Pickard' S
address which will be generally Endorsed is
that the minimum wage for our hard
working miners should be 10 shillings a
day. How near has Mr.. Pickard brought
this ideal? What has he to suggest
in the way of realizing it? Absolutely
nothing And yet it might be realized
easily; more than that, it will be
realized when the miners have had a little
more experience of the results of the present
system and abandoned it for Socialism-as
they are rapidly doing. Mr.. Sharp, Of
Motherwell, Scotland, stated that since the
present Government came into power the
hours of the miners in Scotland had been in
creased, and that they were now working
from $50 o. IN. till 5p. m. Mr.. Sharp
knew when he made that statement-if he
was serious, which we doubt-that during
the tenure of the Liberal Government
Cadzow Colliery, few miles from his
home, was working from a. IN. until F.
m. Why did he not blame the Liberals for
this? He knows, as did every delegate
present, that as things are, no matter
which party is in power, the position OF
the miner goes from bad to worse. Why,
then, seek to mislead the poor miner into
the belief that Liberalism will help him
any more than Toryism? Such treacherous
conduct-there is no other word than
treachery which meets the case-cannot fail
of it's fitting reward. The miner is no fool,
and once his eyes are opened to what Is go
ing on he will mete out his punishment in
no unstinted measure

BRUSSELS. BELGIUM.

Political Reform i'm the Kingdom.
Now that the Socialist element consti-
tutes good third of some Of the Belgian
municipal bodies, thoroughly organized
system of free meals to school children is
in contemplation. and the question is be-
ing carefully studied by experts. From
figures furnished by managers Of voluntary
school cantines, it is estimated that sum
Of 20 centimes per child (twopence) will
suffice for a meal Of soup, meat, potato,
green vegetable, and beer. Thus 5000 chill
dren in the Brussels Communal schools, for
instance, could be given one good meal per
day. six days in the week, during the
forty weeks of the school year for less than
$50, 900 francs (f6, 000), sum frequently
voted for gala day race meetings and Off
cial receptions. Arrangements could be
made for children not ranking as poor to
be admitted to the meal on payment of
twopence, though such arrangements
would naturally be looked upon by the
Socialists as temporary concessions to
middle class prejudice, pending the free
admission of all scholars upon an equal
footing. The question of clothing is also
being considered, and an expenditure of
ten francs eight shillings) per child is
foreshadowed as advisable each winter for
a weather tight garment to stop little chat
tering teeth and childish shiverings.
