The Spread of Socialism.


The Spread of Socialism.
London Justice says: 1t is interesting to
observe how very sensitive the Capitalist
press of Great Britain is just now to the
advance of Socialism. Not long ago our
party in France had what seemed to the
superficial an apparent set back. Straight
way, the whole Of that press shrieked forth
its jubilation. Socialism in France was
dead, the French were returning to the
sober sense which in the maia dis
tinguished them, and so on through the
various keys of hack journalese. Then the
position of the Socialist party in the French
Chamber, andnow the Municipal Elections,
showed that we are gaining ground steadi-
ly. So to-day we have u strenuous and
concerted endeavor to minimise the signifi-
canoe of the whole advance. Much good
may all this do them. Socialism is the
coming power all the world over, and
won't stay its course even to assuage the
terrors of Jew or Christian newspaper
owners.

World of Labor
WHAT REMAINS FOR MEi
The land it is the landlords,

The land it is the landlords,
The traders is the sea,
The ore the usurer' Golfer fills
But what remains for me?
The engine whirls for masters craft,
The steel shines to defend
With Labor arms what Labor raised
For Labor foe to spend.
The camp, the pulpit and the lbw
For rich mem sons are free;
Theirs, theirs the learning, art and arms
But what remains for me?
The coming hope, the future day,
When wrong to right shall bow,
And hearts that have the courage, man,
To make the future now.
pay for all their learning,
toll for all their ease;
They render back, in coin for coin,
Want, ignorance, disease.
Toll, toil-and then a cherries home,
Where hungry passions cross;
Eternal gain to them that give
To me eternal loss
The hour of leisured happiness
The rich alone may see;
The playful child, the smiling wife
But what remains for iney
They render back, those rich men,
A pauper's niggard fee,
Mayhap prison-then grave,
And think they're quits with me;
But not fond wife's heart that breaks,
poor mans child that dies,
We score not on our hollow cheeks
Ard in our sunken eyes:
We read it there, where er we meet,
And as the sum we see,
Each asks: 1.-THE rich have got the earth,
And what remains for me?''
We bear the wrong in silence,
We store it in our brain;
They think us dull, they think us dead,
But we shall rise again.
A trumpet through the land will ring,
A heaving through the mass;
A trampling through their palaces
Until they break like glass.
Well cease to weep by cherished graves,
From lonely homes we'll flee;
And still, as rolls our million march,
Its watchword brave shall be
The coming hope, the future day,
When wrong to right shall bow,
And hearts that have the courage, man,
To make the future now.

Building Trades Strike.

The strike now in progress among those
employed in tie London building trade
shows how easy it is for masters to split
the workers mp into opposing sections. On
April 30 employers and bricklayers' repre-
sentatves met in conference, and half
penny advance demanded by the brick
layers was conceded. The other employees
concerned are also asking for a half penny
per hour advance and code of working
rules. The bricklayers on few jobs are at
work with non unlonist laborers, on others
they are serving themselves. There is no
means of ascertaiEing exactly how many
men are on strike, but the Glassworkers'
Union report that they have 400 men out.

Agricultural Depression and Fox

Hunting.
Now that we have Parliament bent on
helping the unhappy rural landlords, it is
interesting to see how intelligently these
distressed gentlemen understand the prob
lens of agricultural depression and how ear
nestly they labor for the common good, says
the London Labor Leader. They have an as
ISOLATION called the Agricultural Society,
and at one of the meetings of this society
they passed, after much debate. a resolu
ton approving the introduction of light
railways as means of relief in depressed
and congested districts, and then they

effect that these railways should on no
account be constructed if they might inter-
fere with fox hunting! Thrice happy

London Justice, of May 49, reports Our
comrade Wilhelm Liebknecht landed in
London at clock on Wednesday morn
ing The veteran Social Democrat, look
ing none the worse for his journey, was
heartily welcomed on his arrival by small
body of friends-members of the Organ
izing Committee of the International Con-
gress and others. 1t is cheering to see
this grand old warrior in the peoples
cause, after his fifty years Of constant,
strenuous strife, entering light heartedly
on the by no means light lecturing tour
which the Zurich Committee has
arranged for him. From this tour
he will return to undergo the
four months imprisonment imposed upon
him by the German Courts for lese majestic
not, it is admitted, because he said any
thing insulting of the Kaiser, but because
what he said might be so construed by
evil-disposed persons in his audience
What lesson does his life afford to some
of the latest recruits to the Socialist move
ment. Some of these, after the exuber-
ance of their early enthusiasm has subsidized
finding the walls of the Capitalist Jericho
have not at once collapsed at the first blast
of their trumpet after few years work,
are asking themselves where they are, and
confessing themselves tired. He, after
fifty years of warfare, steadfast in the faith
for which he has for half century con-
tended, confident Of the ultimate success Of
our cause, goes steadily on, undismayed by
rebuffs or difficulties, undeterred by per-
secution, fighting the good fight to which
he has devoted his life. Bravo! old soldier
of the proletarian revolution! May he take
back to Germany happy and encouraging
memories of the visit to England on which
we now welcome him.
