London, Aug. %.
A THOUGH there are many radi-
a Gals and labor leaders in England
who have their doubts as to the
best course to take in the present crisis
Of trades unionism. there is n party
that a no misgivings Of any sort.
This is the socialist party.
In good repute and III. in victory and
defeat. whatever the crisis or the is
sue. this party stands ~steadfast and
prociaims that it points the only way
TO the salvation of the world.
The court decisions cannot claim its
attention. Mr.. Chamberlain may try

drench South Africa with blood. there
is but one redress-the cooperative

ment toward independent action but

ton and sets back he cause OF the
W~orkingmen.
For many years the British public
has heard this stin small voice crying

call and passed it by. almost without
caring what &c said. For many weary
years the still small voice has raised

States.
Thirteenth-In the census OF 1880. as
well as that of 1880, all the Indian tribes
mhabiting the strip were included in
the population of the United States.
FOurteenth-The territorial govern
ment of Alaska has exercised various
and repeated acts Of sovereignty over
the strip and the interior waters in
closed by it, and the writs Of the
United States courts have ran through
u the whole extent.
Fifteenth-Under the territorial claim
of the United States and the prOteC-
ton of it's government, Americans have
entered and occupied the strip, built
cities and towns. and established many
Industrial enterprises therein.
Sixteenth-An the foregoing acts
have taken place without a single pro-
test or complaint on the part of the
British or Canadian government until
this time.
The British contention is:
First-That the pass called the Port
land channel did not NEAR what is now
called Portland channel. but what is
now known as Benin canal. which they
claim was formerly called Portland
channel.
Second-That though the Russians
ran the line a uniform ten leagues
from the coast, as though there were
no distinct range of mountains parallel
to the coast. there is, as a fact, a range
of mountains parallel to the coast,
which should have been followed.
Third-That in case there were no
range of mountains, the ten marine
leagues should have been measured.

Trades unionism is h-oneycombed
with socialism. At the last general
convention the vote by delegates as to
whether the trades unions should take
Up socialism was barely lost, and Mr..
Mcdonald, the secretary of the London
trade council. assured me today that
there was probably not a trade union
in England at this time that would re-
fuse to pass any socialist resolution
presented to its body. The severe
handling that trades unions "a re-
ceived i'm the courts has done much to
bring the English WOrkmen TO believe
that after all the labor question is
purely a class struggle, and that either
modern industrialism must contgol the
world or the men who work con-
troll. They are fast coming to believe
that if they should elect their members
of parliament and their judges the
law would be made and construed TO
give the earth to the present genera
ton of men and to give the products of
labor to the workman, n for this
reason they see that while the other
class make the laws and construe them
they must expect that they, too, viii
remain true to their class. All
through the great trades unions are
large n influential bodies of men
who believe that the political move
ment which is already in progres i'm
Great Britain should be a straight so
cialist movement, n have nothing 60
do with such eXpedients as labor poll
tics In all circles is heard the state
ment that socialism means something
historically and really, hat labor
means nothing, and a victory gained
under its banner would leave the COM
mon people no further on than now
In addition to the other Causes that
urge the WOTkingmen to socialism, the
great victory in Germany has made a
profound impression. The Englishmen
are asking themselves why they should
be behind in d only International
movement for the elevation of the
working people, and they confess their

desire his defeat, although all admit
that in learning and natural ability
and devotion TO popular rights he IS
the peer Of any man in any party IN
England.
The socialists here, as in America,
have been split over the old question
or party platform. Whether they shall
announce in every instance the full
national programme Of revolutionary
socialism, and be content with this,
or whether they shall declare for the
principles Of socialism, and then in
addition adopt a mOr immediate plat
form, calling for reforms, that this or
the next generation might possibly
reach. is the question hat has divided
the camp. 1t is safe to say that nearly
all socialists i'm England are now
agreed on the latter course. Ever Mr..
Hyndman, who stands for the staunch-
est and most uncompromising de-
mands. announces his belief that this
is the wisest course. The great vote
in Germany has lone much to bring
the socialists to this view. The Ger
man party while declaring for the full
programme still were not so far in the
clouds as 20 refuse any temporal aid
TO the present generation who must
bear the burden Of the battle, and who
feel that the living as well as the un-
born are worthy OF some consideration.

land is by no means confined to the pO-
litical movement The Fabyeans have

Socialism In the Politics of England

ablest and most industrious writer's
and workers for advanced ideas; Mr.
Bernard Shaw, the essayist, play writer
and all-round writer. as clever a man
as there is in the British empire, or
any where else for that matter; Mr. J..
H. Holson and Mr.. Samuel Hobson,
both men of ability and learning, as
well as a host of others, whose names
can scarcely be catalogued. Through
these and others of their sort socialism
in some form has permeated the liter
allure Of Great Britain until ii is now
met at every turn.
In politics, in literature, n art, in
business life. the socialist has made
his way; the orator talks about it, the
minister breaches it. the artist makes
pictures. and the business man gives
it cash-this is all the business man
has TO give.
1t is easy TO see that socialism is
much further along in England han in
America: no one here is thought to be
queer" because he is a socialist. There
are several confessed socialists in par
lament There IRE a number of MEM
bers in the national liberal club. They
have attained eminence in all walks Of
life and command respect and COnsid-
Grafton wherever they go.
In another respect the English are
much further advanced toward radical
political change. The farmer is "a man
of no consequence in England; five
sixths of her people al least are indus
trial workers, living in great cities and
towns and in no way interested in the
present order Of things. Even those
who till the soil are merely workmen,
and have no interest in the land; this
is owned in gerat estates by q few
noblemen, for whom no one really
cares.
The strength of conservatism in
America, and i'm fact the world over,
is in the country. with us nearly half
the population sin live in the country
and the small town, n with this
great population change is very slow.

MEXICO MOBILES LAW.

The persistent agitation by the
American press against the Mexican
practice of imprisoning American rail
road men in Mexico whenever an acct
dent occurs and neglecting proper
trial of their cases, has at last borne
fruit. The president himself has pro-
claimed the procedure to be used in
such cases hereafter, and the erect OF
his order will be greatly to facilitate
the operation of the railroads, but
most of all, to make less annoying and
dangerous the life of the railroader,
hence tending to attract a better class
of workmen to the republic.
The rule heretofore has been, in
ease of an accident on a railroad, to
arrest all the trainmen and throw
them in Jail, there to lie, in some cases
for months, without regard to the mer
it's of their cases, or effort to ascer
tain the facts. So much latitude has
been left to local officials in these
matters that great injustice has al
times been done, and a species of in
| timidation adopted by petty Officers
| that has created strained relations be
| tween American and the Mexican au
| thorities.
The president now orders that n
| suspicion shall of necessity rest upol
trainmen in case Of accident, an
that they shall not be treated as erin
ipals, but that an investigation sha
