soclallsm In France and 0ernany

Gustave ROuane, in La Revue Social
iste: The year 1898 marks an important
step in the history Of international so
cialism, In this year important elections
were held in France, Belgium and Ger
many. 1t is the aim Of the socialistiC
party in all these countries to fight for
modern political liberty denied and aban-
dOned by the bourgeois party, which is
recOnCiled with the reactionary party In
the common hatred Of socialism. While
the socialistiC parties Of Germany and
Belgium are compact blocks, that Of
France Is split up into numerous Organi-
cations which not long ago were fighting
among themselves. . The last
campaign was remarkable for the spirit
Of solidarity and fraternal courtesy
which reigned among the organizations
formerly at rivalry. In 1898 French so
cialism made its most important advance
1T attained unity The number Of votes
for socialistic candidates as determined
by the socialists themselves has almost
doubled throughout the whole country
since 1893, and the representation has
been considerably increased. They had
before them government, too, ready to
fight them by any means from calumny
to physical violence, driving the cleo
tors from the polls. The most shameful
electoral frauds were perpetrated in
many provinces. Only when the social
istic candidate attained an oyerwhelm-
ing maioroity was he proclaimed elected.
Universal suffrage Is profoundly vitiated
by the Intervention OF agents Of the ad-
ministratlon In the elections. 1t carries
with 1t load Of interests which form a
block in favor of the official candidate.
It Is especially in the country that its
influence Is great. The formidable ad-
Capitalization Of the coun-
try places immense influence in the
hands Of those In power. A man is
easily frightened and menaced In his
own security and that of his family.
This year the government did its best to
suppress socialism. The progress made
by the socialists among the stubborn
rural population Is what Is most remark
able about the general elections of 1898.
Socialism this year has also overcome
the capitalistic forces which were united
for the assault. The situation OF the
party was q delicate one; by uniting with
the radicals 1t rlsked losing its identity;
by fighting alone 1t risked losing the
elections. These and many other diff
culties were heroiCally overcome.
Conrad Schmidt, in the Journal OF PO-
litlcal Economy: Germany has become
the classic land Of modern socialism.
The number Of votes cast by the social
istic party has increased lrreslstlbly,
hand In hand with the industrial devel-
opmaNs Of Germany. The party p0llad

suffered no more inconvenience on ac-
count of cold than few frost bitten
fingers and noses.
ION reaching the head Of Lake Ben
nett we decided to reach salt water by
way of the Chilkoot pass, most Of those
coming ont taking that trail The
weather was stormy and had been so
for some days, and many of those going
over the summit camped at the foot of
the mountains or up on Long lake, and
watching their opportunity by day and
night, made the pass during lull in
the storm, when one could see. We
stayed over night at q cabin on Lake
Lindeman, and. being impatient to get
across the summit, began the ascent Of
the mountains at daylight ip the face
of binding storm, first tightening
our load by discarding blankets, Stove,
tent, cooking outfit, etc. Half way up
a number were met returning VINO had
made an effort to pass the summit and
given up the attempt. We went on,
however. and after very hard work in
a driving head wind, which blinded the
eyes with fine snow. rendering it inn
possible TO see but a few feet ahead,
gained the crest of the summit at
O'Clock in the evening. The descent of
the steep mountain was easier We SIM

our parkes tightly about US, we closed
our eyes, slid down, and trusted to luck.
When a level was reached the outfit
had to be drawn to the brink of the
next descent, and down we slid again.
This operation was repeated until the
precipitous portion of the pass was
over. and we really enjoyed the excite
ment of this mode of travel, although
it had it's little. Inconvenience. We
reached Sheep Camp safely away after
dark, and found quite settlement
there. Three cables have been stretched
over the summit for tramways, and
work is progressing on the line being
built up from Dyea, although a strike
to maintain wages had taken place.
We reached salt water 80 days after
leaving Dawson. having actually trav-

at various points to rest dogs and re-

Italian Opera That will Give the Audi

opefa VIII GIVE tie Audi-

Manager Mcguire is to be commended
in having secured the Del Conte Grand
Opera company for an engagement at
his theater next week. He is sanguine
of tremendous business and is sure
that Butte will give the singers a re-
ception not soon TO be forgotten by
them. Mr. Mcguire saw the company
in the Northwest. while out there re-
Gently. and he declares that nothing
approaching their excellence has ever
been seen in Butte.
The first night" of Italian grand
opera bids fair to be an event never
eXceled in brilliancy in the annals of
society events in this city. ON that
occasion an opera, never presented in
this country save by this organization,
will be given. 1t is entitled La b.
heme," and Is the masterpiece of Puc-
cini. 1t marks a new epoch in scheme
and music, and as given by this COM
pany keeps the attention of the audi
ence from the very start. The most
conservative and Staid musical critics
have been most enthusiastic over its
beautiful music, dafntily merging from
gayety to sadness and IN its impas-
stoned flights OF soul thrilling song.
One forgetS that t. is being sung in Il
foreign tongue forgets that the princ-
pals are from a foreign shore, AMI only
lnlenttN awaits the Sdu de1pulnpnt,
which comes with such beauty Of
thought and expression that the utmost
sympathy is felt for the poor little
flower girl (MimD and her noble, loyal
lover, the poet Rudolfo.
La Boheme" enlists the efforts of all
the great principals, including Signora
Montanari, prima donna absolute, over
whose beauty and grace the critics
have devoted columns. Signor Agostini.
one of the most talented lyric tenors
now before the public. whose clear,
sympathetic voice at once makes him
the idol of his audience. Signora Vicini,
dainty and bright little comedienne
who eaptivateS by her acting alone, and
which combined with her magnificent
mezZo-soprano voice. at once installs
her into the good Sraces of all.
In addition to these a long list of
principals less prominent will be seen
in the minor roles and the famed Ital-
ian musicians will bring out all that is
beautiful and touching in the inspired
score and orehestration of this opera.
