SUNDAY ALONG SHORE.
Tho Tide Was tho Only Thing Moving
Abont the Harbor Yesterday.

Not ripple stirred the surface Of tie
harbor yesterday afternoon. The leaden
colored sky with dark streaks of clouds
lying low on the eastern horizon, the
heavy ground swell splashing mourn
fully around the moss covered spiling
of the wharves and the large part Of
vessels of all sizes and rigs lying at an
Choir below the breakwater, all told of an
approaching storm with q falling barom-
eter and nasty night out side. 1t was
an extremely quiet day along shore.
Fishermen and sailors In painfully new
clothes and nday-go-to-me Getting"
appearance 1oafsd around the ends of the
piers OF on the street corners commenting
on the weather and now and then sur
reptitiously taking pull at a corn cob
or old black clay pipe and seemingly
finding some comfort in doing so. A
few row boats were moving up and down
the harbor without any apparent object
or purpose In view, the big bell on the
ferry boat changed dismally now and
then and sent the English sparrows
whirring skyward from their resting
place on the roof of the barge office.
Every other man you met seemed de-
pressed and homesick and looked as If
even dog fight would be relief. In a
word 1t was dull Sunday along shore
and hard day to pass Interestingly.
Even the barge office officials. usually
busy enough. found the day hanging
heavily on their hands. Their frequent
surveys of the channel through the large
spy glass brought nothing in sight ex-
oepting the bleak shores OF Cushing's
Island and this boarded windows Of the
deserted Ottawa house, on the hill.
Hardly vessel turned her nose seaward
during the day and only q few came
drifting in through the channel. Up at
the Grand Trunk wharves a subdued and
quiet looking crowd gazed at the big
hole, in the ground where the eleva-
tor foundations are being put in but not
a man was at work nor an engine red.
The large crew of men who have done 80
much in such short space OF time were
taking day of and for the first time
night or day for the week the formidable
spile drivers were at rest. A few boys,
still wearing the clothes they had worn
to Sunday school earlier in the day,
found amusement in riding up and down
the wharf on a hand car. They were the
only persons ON the whole water front
who had succeeded In finding anything
amusing and the knot Of grown up peo-
pie standing about gazed at them visit
fully and possibly wished that the digni-
ty of years did not exclude them from
the sport
During the early morning the steam
yachts Rojah and Baruna sailed west
ward. leaving tho yacht Ladoga behind to
go OH the railway today for repairs.
The tug boat Belknap and Cornelia
sailed last night for Bath where they
will take in tow for this port on Monday
four barges and steam dredge belong
ing to Moore and Wright. This firm will
begin dredging the channel below the
Maine Central bridge on Teusday.

The Post Office as Socialistic Institu-

Henry w. Mayo, in London Justice says
Some Socialist orators, in the course of
their speeches, habitually refer to the Post
Office as an example of the practical work
ing of Social Democratic theories and
principles. AS such an example is likely
to be somewhat misleading, a short analy-
sis of this department and its workings
might be interesting to the readers Of
Justice, and perhaps instructive to some
who are not fully acquainted with the de-
tails:
A Social Democrat institution must
anwser the following description:
~ 1t must be national.
(2) Its object must be efficient and use
full administration and not profit
(3) 1t must be carried on in the joint in
terest of the public and the employees.
We will deal with each Of these three
heads separately.
(1) By national institution is meant one
which is under the control perhaps merely
nominal of the people of the nation and
not of one man or clique Of men. and offers
equal facilities to every individual COM
prising the nation. The Post Office thus
evidently answers to the first description
1t is true that the Post Office is nominally
under the direct control Of the Postmaster

Briquettes made from coal dust are
likely to find rival in localities where
wood saving is largely carried on. Good
fuel is now being made from wood saw
dust, and there is no reason why saw
dust, if we'll agglomerated, should not
make excellent briquettes. They are
said to be successfully manufactured
in Germany, and in an exceedingly SIM
pie manner When we'll heated the saw
dust becomes sticky, owing to its resin
Gus properties, and then it is compress
ed into suitable blocks in the usual way.
One man with machine driven by two
horse power can turn out about 5000
briquettes per day. We should be in
clined to doubt the cohesive properties
of the sawdust itself. All woods are not
alike as regards resin, and in most cases
the addition Of small percentage of
resin or some other infiammable ag-
glomerant might be advantageous.

programme of the Social-Democratic
Federation.
It. Louis, Mo.

OBJECT.
The specialization of the means of produc-
ton, distribution and exchange, to be con-
trolled by Democratic State in the inter-
ests of the entire community, and the com
plete emancipation Of Labor from the dom
nation of Capitalism and Landlordism, with
the establishment of social and economic
equality between the sexes.
PROGRAMME.
1. All organizers or administrators to be
elected by equal direct adult suffrage, and
to be maintained by the community.
2. Legislation by the people in such wise
that no project of law shall become binding
till accepted by the majority of the people.
8. The abolition of standing armies and
the establishment of national citizen forces;
the people to decide on peace or war.
A.. All education to be compulsory, secu
lar, industrial and free.
5. The administration of justice to be free
to all.
6. The means of production, distribution
and exchange to be declared and treated as
COLLECTIVE OF COuliuOu piopciuy'
z. The production and distribution of
wealth to be regulated by society III the
common interests of all it's members.
PALLIATIvEs.
As measures called for to palliate the evils
of our existing society, the Social Demo-
cratic Federation urges for immediate adop-
ton:
The compulsory construction by public
bodies of healthy dwellings for the people,
such dwellings to be let at rents to cover
the cost of construction and maintenance
alone.
Free, secular and technical education,
compulsory upon all classes, together with
free maintenance for the children in all
state schools.
No child to be employed in any trade or
occupation until 16 years of age, and heavy
penalties to be inflicted on employers in
fringing this law.
Eight hours or less to be the normal
working day, or not more than forty eight

BE CAREFUL. FRIEND.

'.The poor are idle,n did you say, my
friend,
"And thriftless and thankless and bad,
And show no true desire to amend,
Even if an opportunity they had"
&c slow, my friend; think DER what you
have said;
You surely known that such is not the
case;
You surely know that for their daily
bread
The moor must enter in cruel race.
Why, come with me, my friend, I'll
show you where
Your fellow men, with every right to
live,
Toll on, slave on, midst smoky, poisonous
air,
For such small wage as masters choose
to give.
Toll on and on in foulness, murk and
gloom
Until at last, worn out, decrepit and
old,
They sink unheeded to their lowly tomb,
Poor victims of the sweaters greed for
gold.
I'll show you where, midst awful, dreary
OF streets and alleys, they are forced TO
dwell,
That fearsome region of filth and gloom
and haze
That constitutes a worse than Daniels
hell.
That pit where crime and sorrow' vice
and pain,
Combine to form a vortex, deep and
wide,
Which wrecks the nerve, the muscle and
the brain
OF all who sail on its remorseless tide.
That pit where children, robbed Of all
their youth,
And cast upon the world to groan and
toll,
Grow up devoid of learning, virtue,
truth,
Poor aliens on the heaven created soil.
Consider we'll, my friend, before you cast
Reflections on the poor, down-trodden
slave,
Think what a life he has, and what,
at last,
His dreary lot-a pauper's shroud
and grave.
sThe poor are idle, thriftless and badn'
Well, III admit a few of them are such;
But they were forced thereto-small
chance they had
To free themselves from Mammon'
greedy clutch.
And you, like others, expect them to De
good
Amidst the vice and sorrow that you
see,
Expect them to be filled and give no food,
Create them slaves, and then expect
them free.
You wonder they are idle. and you take
Away their work, the means whereby
they live
You wonder they are thriftless, and you
make
Their lives a hell, and sneers in pay
ment give.
Beware, my friend, the day is drawing
When O. err this earth great Freedoms
flag will wave,
When 'er this earth will echo, loud and
clear,
The song of the emancipated slave.
The worm will turn, the cornered rat will
fight,
And down trod slaves may do the
same; take care!
Should you persist in trampling on the
right,
The wronged may turn; beware, my
friend, beware
T. H. FAIRFIELD.
