SOCIALISM IN R O

Prof. Mills, the s0ciAlistic leader,
solemnly informed us when he talked
to the people Of Laramie that socialists
. men Of peace: that in this par.
ticular they differed entirely from the
anarchists. who believed in bloodshed
and assassination. The only intima-
ton he gave us that force might be
desirable under any circumstances,
was when he said that in Ease the cap
italists refused to give up after the
vote was against them he could not
exactly tell what might happen. Daily
reports from Europe do not accord
with the statements made by Prof.
Mills. In Belgium, where there seems
to be more socialists than in any 9th
or country in proportion to the popu-
lation. riots are of daily occurrence
and there is extreme danger of rebel
lion against the government. In re
ferring to this uprising the Denver Re.
publican says:
The riots in Brussels and other
parts Of Belgium are a natural result
OF the presence in the country Of a
large sociaiistic element which is ar.
rayed against capital and prepared up
on the slightest excuse to resort to
violence.
Belgium has an enormous popula-
ton in proportion to its area, and ov.
ercrowding and lack of employment
have reduced some Of the people to a
d~spaorable condition Of poverty and
distress. When men are out of en-
ployment and are frequently deprived
Of the comforts and necessaries of life,
they are in a mood for violence and
revolution. Especially is this true,
when their minds have been poisoned
with theories which, however. vision.
airy In character, involve hostile criti.
cism of every form Of material or in
dustrial success.
1T Is probable that the police and
the military will restore order in all
parts of Belgium. but already the
struggle has cost the loss Of many
lives and the destruction of much
property. The suppression Of the rio
ters will restore order, but 1t will not
bring contentment to all of the people.
Many will continue to live under hard
conditions, and will indulge in better
reflections upon the of their
more fortunate fellow subjects.

until now it has grown to be very serious domestic

condition but the main why girls in this

labor are shorter
If the conditions of our domestic service have

KING ED AND KAISER BILL.

It appears to be the most natural thing in the
world that the Emperor Of Germany should take the
opportunity afforded by the celebration of Edwards
sixty-hrst birthday to pay the old gentleman visit
Such visits among relatives are not so unusual as
to excite remark, and ordinarily nobody attaches
any other THAI social significance to them. But
our good cousins the water have yet out
grown the traditions of those past days when
King was something more than an ornamental fig
urehead to the ship of State: something more po-
tential and important than the central figure in
holiday pageants. Therefore. the newspapers of
Germany and Great Britain are pondering gravely
owe rthe great event, and puzzling their readers
and themselves with vain attempts solve the mys-
terious problem AS if to complcate the situation,
the Emperor yesterday his way to church stop
ped to talk to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and actually
conversed with him for a space of ten minutes.
What Notwithstanding policies were devised and
formulated during that awful ten minutes the news
papers of London and Berlin would give good deal
to know.
It is little queer and disgusting than
queer that the newspapers of this country haven't
any better appreciation OF the present status of
humanity than to pretend that conferences between
crowned heads amount to anything more to the
world than a conference between two old women

Mr.. Wynne urges legislation authorizing the
postofice department to make allowance for clerk
hire at third-cass postof1ces when it is satisfac
torily shown that the postmaster by devotng his
time and attention to the Office is unable to tran
sact the postif1ce business.

last Sunday. The Jews who believe that it is the
destiny of their to rebuild the walls of Jerusa
lem and to establish Jewish commonwealth in
Palestine celebrated last Sunday as "sheckel Day"
giving up their sheckels to aid in the work of the
Zionists and the German societies gave great send
of to 'Deutscher Tag on German Day, on which
they propose annually to celebrate the arrival of
the first German pilgrims in the United States. The
Germans and the Jews have as much right to claim
day for their as Americans of other lineage
but it must be understood that they not to be-
siege the legislature with demands for legislation

as many of such holidays at present as we need.
