A Communication,

Mr.. EDITOR, -Several of my Ital-
ian friends have requested me to take
exception to the closing statement
contained in the article which appear
ed in your issue of November 4, from
the pen of Signor Fred Bellondi. |
will preface my remarks on the queS-
ton at issue by saying. that while
every country has its own peculiar
problems and social abuses to face and
settle, the general principles of the in
clearly defined and SO exactly similar
in every country where the thin red
line of the socialist proletariat has
gained hold, that the slightest dew
iation in giving expression to these
principles Jars ON the sOcialiStc ear.
If the deviation is made with malice
aforethought your socialist is ever
ready to run up the black flag and
open fire. If, on the other hand, the
motive of the writer {as in the present
instance) are manifestly just, and the
need of criticism arises from wrong
conception of socialist aspirations,
then we feel it incumbent on us to
point out the mistake with the calm
ness and unbanity of a judicial tribu-
nal.
The part of Signor Bellondi's arti-
Gle we disagree with is where he says
elementary socialism breaches to the
working class. They (meaning the
capitalist and landlord class have
everything, you have nothing, to take
their place.
The first necessity to the formation
of socialist movement is the exist
ence oI the proletariat, or in other
words, a working class that owns
nothing but it's labor power, which it
must sell to the class in possession of
the land and the tools of production.
The socialist movement has therefore
one definite aim in view-the emanci-
patton of the working class from a
condition of wage slavery by captur-
ing the public powers, and transform
ing capitalist society to state where
public ownership and control of the
land and the tools of production will
be the foundation and keystone of the
social fabric. BY accomplishing this
object we will get rid forever of classes
of eXploiter and exploited, of master
and slave. Marrimi's motto was, |
believe, Let labor be the basis of civil
society? We accept this ideal as one
that fits and harmonizes with our
own. We do not desire to get retri-
button by becoming the eXploiters of
those who have, and are exploiting us,
even were such a contamination DOS
sible, and while we work for the ideal
society where in the words of William
Morris:
All mine and all thine shall be ours.
And no more shall any man crave
For the riches that serve for nothing,
But to fetter Il friend for slave.
We are no dreamer of dreams, but |
recognize in the class struggle stern
reality that will be solved not by fine
phrases, but by the votes of an
awakened and revolutionary working
class. ERNEST LENNON,

PRECAUTI0N AGAINST PLAGUE
san Francisco Board of Health
Takes n Determined
stand.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The Nippon
Maru will be towed from the mail dock into
the stream this morning. That was decided
by the Board of Health and the ship will be
moved If every policeman in the city has
to haul on the tow line. The physicians
that guard the citys health consider the
vessel highly dangerous, in view of the
statement of DR.. Barbat, the bacteriologist
that the germs from the two sailors of the
Nippon Maru are those of the bubonic
plague
The vessels agent has agreed to fumigate
the ship in the stream. The mail dock will
be guarded by police who will arrest and
send to the pest house any person who may
leave the steamer without the permission
of the Board of Health. Any person who
may board the ship before it is released
will be quarantined with the crew. No
freight will be landed until further orders
are made by the Board of Health. DR..
William +. Barbat said:
From the result of my ARCHAEOLOGICAL
work on the organs sent to me by the
coroner | am convinced that the Japanese
who were drowned after leaving the Nippon
Maru suffered from bubonc plague. ] ex-
perimented sufficiently to determine that
the plague was there, and then, with the
consent Of the members of the Board of
Health, destroyed everything that came
from the bodies"

BUSYDAY FOR THERE F FORMERS
civil Service and Direct Legislation II
Form Topics for Dis
cussion. .'..r

BUFFALO. July IA variety OF subjects
presented at this mornings session of the
National Social and Political conference.
There was preliminary talk rs a New
Party Needed?" in the course of which
Joseph r. Buchanan, chairman of the press
COMMITTEES, further explained his referendum
reform plan.
John S. Crosby of New York was chosen
chairman of the day. The first topic, Civil
Service" introduced by Charles b.
Wheeler, formerly chairman of the Buffalo
civil service commission Mr.. Wheeler ad-
vised reformers to work for the merit sys-
TEN at their homes. He thought President
Mckinley had gone too far in eXemptns
1000 employees from the operation of civil
service reform
John S. Crosby discussed "Direct Legisla-
ton" He had, he said, been brought up TO
revere the constitution, but experience had
led him to believe that the constitution was
a great thing-in the way of the right
thing. He admired the way people in Can
ada could any day in the week get up anu
do what they wanted He raised laugh
by calling Governor Roosevelt "as intelli-
gent man as you have among your edu-
Gated classes" He had no patience with
the men who sit on the bench dispensing
with Justice who spend the night in gam
bling houses and next morning send men
to Jail for doing the same thing. |
