Growth of Socialism.
rom the Philadelphia Public Ledger.


During the last decade there has been an
extraordinary growth Of socialism In the
United States. a growth as phenomenal as
unnatural, because under our free insti-
tutions Of government there should be no
spot Of ground on which that rank weed
of popular unrest could take root or fructi-
fly. The truth Is that socialism Is not a
native but a foreign growth. and that in
large measure its noxious development may
be traced directly to the increase Of the
illiterate immigrants from the old world.
The United States has imported socialism
on every ship from abroad which has borne
to our shores the illiterate and downtrod-
den peoples which have crowded the steer
age. The United States Is importing daily
ignorance sordidness, cheap labor and So
cialism. These things go together, the lat
ter being the natural or inevitable sequence
of the others. Our immigration laws should
be amended in the direction Of wholesome
restriction; our naturalization laws should
be revised upon the lines of the absolute
fitness of every one who seeks to exercise
the great privilege of citizenship, and the
children Of the aliens coming here should
be compelled to enter our country through
the public school house, not through the
factory, coal mine or sweat shop.

Employers and the National Guard.

The employing classes OF this country
will themselves be guilty of contributing to
the breaking down of the National Guard If
they do not protect their employees who
obey the commands of officers to report for
duty. The places of militiamen must be
held for them as scrupulousIy as that of
member Of the employing firm who is
forced 10 take a vacation Yet despite the
plain duty of the employers in this connec-
ton every time militia companies are or
dered to the field TO prevent or suppress
rioting. there follows a series of dismissals
from employment. This is now happening
In Pennsylvania as the companies recently
stationed in the coal fields return to their
homes and the members seek their old po-
sltions- Many of them find their places
filled and their former employers obdurate
In refusing to reinstate them. Regimental
and company commanders are now seeking
means of securing justice for these unfor-
tunate men. But of course they cannot
force man 10 discharge a clerk in order
to restore a former employee to his place,
nor can they compel the creation of new
positions. They can only appeal to the pub-
lie spirit of employers and ask for consid-
Grafton OF the rights of the militiamen.
There should be no such necessity. Every
man who lays down his trade tools q the

President Eliot's Sentiments

This is an extract from the address for
which President Eliot of Harvard was SO
bitterly denounced by Mr.. Gompers at New
Orleans and afterward formally condemned
by the Federation of Labor
There is another objection to both sides
the readiness with which both sides take
to violence. The employers do 1t, the labor
unions do 1t. 1 believe that the doctrine
that violence may be justly employed by
labor union to prevent a non-union man
from working for what he will is wrong
unjust, un-American: that 1t fights against
the prosperity, the peace and the happiness
OF our nation, and that we must find means
of preventing the application of that vio-
lenca.
Every American instinct protests against
the violent prevention of a man selling his
labor where and for. what he chooses to sell
1t, and somehow or otherI cannot tell
how-that liberty needs to be preserved and
protected In our country
Organized labor cannot afford to stand
out in opposition to these sentiments. They
are truly American, and breathe the spirit

Congress and the Tariff.

The tariff issue will not down. Those
men and those newspapers now insisting
that the country on the 4th instant voted
against revision in any form may them
selves be deluded, but they are not deluding
the people. They are talking and writing
in vain on that subject.
There Is no issue so interesting and i'm
portant today as that of the tariff. 1t is, in
fact practically the only issue that sur
wives. Who are concerned about free silver
except Mr.. Bryan and few of his follow
ers? Who values his reputation so little to-
day as to be shouting warnings about impe-
rialism and the Man on Horseback? Who
Is covered with goosefiesh now on the sub
ject of government by injunction?' Who
are urging the initiative and referendum but
a few populists in the west, and feather
heads of the type of George Fred Williams
in the east? But on every hand and from
every quarter we are hearing about the
tariff. Even the opponents of action in the
direction of equalizing the operations of the
Dingley law find it necessary to discuss
that subject at some length.
And out OF all this discussion must neces-
sarily grow action of some kind Shall 1t
be in the form OF tarlff commission. COM
posed of experts and charged simply with
an investigation of the present schedules?
There would be delay about that, and the
plan is otherwise open TO objection. It
would lead to good deal of academic
wrangiing. and report from such a COM
mission would have a rough time In the
chN2py sea OF congressional debate. II it
survived The ordeal il would he battered
looking object srd nigh; be all but value
less after sse experience,
Tbs ether proposition IS for the famiiia:

There Is No Eao5 reason why the Diugley
lAv Shou-6 NOT be revised in the way in
which 3: was framed. Congress at that
time gave tbs country no alarm by address,
ing Itself % q manifest duty. The business
interests knew they had nothing to fear
from men pledged 10 protection and faml-
lar with the application of the principle.
The same party is in power today and
pledged TO the same policy. Why therefore
should We not go on in the familiar way?
What reasonable alarm could any man take
whose interests have been promoted by pro-
lection? II they no longer need protection
why should they longer demand it? If they
still need it there will be no danger of their
losing 1t.
But for the moment the leading point Is
that the tariff is the one topic of general in
terest, and this guarantees attention by Con-
gress The anti-revisionists, and partic-
ularly those protectionists who are In fact
prohibitionists. should look out for the To-
connective.

measuring stick or the pen to take place in
the ranks of the National Guard when duty
calls should Immediately be regarded as
immune from dismissal. However difficult
or easy may be his duties, or whatever the
grade Of his salary, there should be no
thought Of forcing him to choose between
sacrificing his income and disobeying his
orders. Suppose a fire broke out in the
store of one of these employers at night
and he summoned his clerks and helpers
to aid him in rescuing his stock and some
of them refused to do so because they
feared they would be burned or would soil
their clothes. Would not those men find
their places vacant instanter? And rightly.
The clerk who holds back from such
duty. however. Is no more to be condemned
by his employer than the one who holds
back from responding to the call to arms
for fear Of losing his Job. The employer
has even more at stake when riot threatens
than when fire occurs in his own premises
He may lose far more than his stock and
building in a conhagraton feeding upon
the whole social fabric. The militiaman
who when off duty is weighing sugar or cal
culating accounts In his establishment rep
resents the only insurance standing be-
tween him and complete loss by anarchy.
Between the labor union which refuses
to grant a militiaman a working card and
the employer who refuses to guarantee the
miltiaman-employe continuance in serv-
ice the National Guard Is sore pressed.
But fortunately public opinion is firm set
against both of these forms Of tyranny.
The union which adopts such policy will
Immediately find itself without the SYM
pathy and support of the public, while the
merchant or professional employer who re-
fuses to recognize the right Of the militia
man to a guarantee of place will be de-
prived in short order Of the patronage Of
all public spirited persons. For both
classes need the militia quite as seriously
as do the non-employing. purchasing
classes who constitute the great deciding
middle element in our society.

The Burglary Outbreak.

Reports of a round dozen of local rob-
berries Wednesday night are not calculated
to cause the residents of the District to
rest very easy in their beds. Nor are they
welcome to the policemen who, already
hard worked, are now Obliged to take extra
tours of duty to guard against this new
menace to the peace and security of the
people Last night the patrols were doubled
and the city given a most thorough super
vision, with the result that only one at
tempt at HOUSEKEEPING was reported But
the force cannot stand such a strain in
definitely. 1t is now stretched almost to
the limit to cover the territory. 1t Is
hoped that Major Sylvester will so present
the facts to the Commissioners and through
them to Congress in his forthcoming an
nual report that a material addition to
the force will be granted in the next ap-
preparation bill
The robberies thus far reported have
been petty affairs. the thieves securing
only small sums of money and few valua-
bles. But that was the misfortune Of the
miscreants. Their intentions were sincere
enough to have resulted in a very heavy
loss to the community. At this time of
year many wanderers are passing south
ward to avoid the winters chill and lust
now, too there are scores of loose charac-
tiers in town IN attendance upon the races
men without occupations. hangers-on at
the tracks, who earn a precarious liveli-
mood running errands, selling tips and exc
uting betting commissions. They are not
of the legitimate staff of the tracks, and
their presence is always to be depIored
The burglary menace is not pleasant to
contemplate. The housebreaker is a most
dangerous character. even the petty crimi-
nal who pliers the cash drawer Of a corner
grocery. If molested in his work he will
probably shoot or stab or club. His crime
is not to be measured by his spells. The
District is not today sufficiently protected
by the law IN its bearing upon the crime
of housebreaking at night. The trend
OF public opinion is that the penalty should
be death. When that Is the law only the
most desperate marauders will venture to
open the window OF a residence in order
to steal few dollars. The majority will
be frightened into other lines of crime, less
dangerous to the people, II they are not
persuaded TO abandon their nefarious pur-
suits altogether

Municipal Advancement.

From the New York Sun.
The municipal art commission has brought
in a plan for the approaches to the new
Williamsburg bridge, representing a cost
of $12,0O0,OO0. This Is a whaling sum Of
money to spend on the job in question, but
for all that, 1t should not be tossed care
lessly aside without serious consideration
The experience of other cities offers some
strong argument in its favor
Paris and our own city Of Washington
were carried by Baron Haussman and
Alexander r. Shepherd, respectively, into
schemes of self disqualification compared to
which this Williamsburg plan looks trifie
like thirty cents. Yet, immense as was the
price, both communities are today glad that
Ii was paid.

Mr.. Cannon and the speakership.

ception these men were elected on their
statement to their constituents that they
would favor changes in the tariff where
there was excessive protection under the
present rates If, as alleged by the Inter
Ocean. Mr.. Cannon Is in declared opposition
to this view and Is still made Speaker by

"The Ditch of Death"

From the New York Herald.
The dignity of the United States will not
admit of any further protraction of the I'M
seemly negotiations with Colombia in ref
erence to possible completion of that ditch
of death known as the Panama canal.
Although our State Department has now
made every possible concession in the franz
Ing of the proposed treaty, the Colombians
continue to raise objections and declare that
the Spooner acts requirement Of perpetual
control over the canal and contiguous terri
tory is impossible under their constitution
So be it. The American government will
never sink sum equal to the ransom of an
empire in the construction of waterway
which they will then hold only by lease
from the volatile Colombians.

OF self-respect and individual assertion
They are at the very foundation OF our
achievements as a people. The American
who works with his hands must remain. as
he now is, free to apply for work whenever
he needs 1t and wherever 1t may be OBJ
tanned. and having secured work he must
be protected from annoyance and violence
Any other condition OF affairs is prejudicial
to the public order, and labor should be
able to see this without the aid of a strong
glass. The non-union laborer cannot be
made an outlaw except at the expense Of
the public interests, not to mention individ-
ual rights.
