Future sI Socialism.

Socialists can elect President of the
United States in eight years, according to
Prof. George d. Heron. This would start
an economic revolution that would sweep
from their thrones all of the potentates of
the Old World The ultimate result would
be the resurrection of China, Egypt, Greece
and Italy. IfChicago should elect SO
cialist mayor its example would he followed
by similar trumphs at the polls all over
this country, eliminating in the national
victory. With Socialist mayor the city
of Chicago its executives supporters to back
him, could stand off the entire American
army 100000 men and force President Nc
Kinley to proclaim a 60 operative com
monwealth.
Prof. Heron proclaimed his viers in
lecture conft reace of representatives of the
different Socialist factions will be held to tly
to from coalition. Such union of forces.
says Prot. Heron, is all that is needed to
up his party in poscer within eight years at
thetm0St.

companied by Secretary Morrison, Of the
Federation, and reached the, strike htad.

secret, and it was NOT generally knosn that
Mr.. Gompers was in the city. The results
of this conference are of the greatest impor
tance TO the strikers. Thousands Of the
Federation men work side By side with the
Amalgamated men, and their policy as TO
the strike will be yitally important Besides
that the Federation has vast membership,
and its financial assistance is an important
consideration.

tion of Labor, in an interview later, said
that the Federation of Labor has pledged
itself as body to support the strike Of the

Professor Edward Lee Thorndike, of this
Teachers college, Columbia university says
that monkeys are as intelligent as infanie
and that their mental processes are SO much
like those OF men that they can be said to
have minds like human beings.
Prof. Thorndike says that be kept one
monkey in his home in this city for more
than year, and two other monkey for about
four months. lie studied them thoroughly
and asserts that in way the mind Of a
money res mbles the mind of man in that
monkeys, like men, pursue the method of
learning by selecting impulses and associat
ing them with Impressions.
Though there is vide practical difference
between the minds of monkeys and those of
men, the professor says that iflnonkeys had
the same chance for advancement as raen
some of them might have as good minds,
and he adds that monkeys have earned ke
right to be placed in the same mental class
with men.
