Mr.. Broderick told the commons that
among the many Earring notes heard

so-called army reform. for he declares
that the army is honeycombed with
cliques, and kisses go by favor in this
web of axgrinders."
In the debate on the London educa-

NEW" TRADE-UNIONlSM,

A manifesto Of the new trade-un-
all workers who agree with the princi-
pies set forth in that rather lengthy
document has recently been issued.
This new movement appears to be an
other attempt on the part of certain
men, who are In the trade unions for
the purpose of furthering Socialist
propaganda, to )rm a national organ
ization in opposition to the American
Federation of Labor. Among those who
signed the call for the convention are
number of officials of the American
Labor Union, the editor of a Socialist
International Bakers and Brewery
Workmen's unions. The declaration Of
principles of the new" ade-unionism
Is interlarded with uncomplimentary
remarks about the National Civic Fe-
deration High initiation fees and
craft and trade divisions are denounc-
ed. To remedy all these evils the work.
els are urged to form lone great in
dustrial union which shall embrace all
industries, provide for craft autonomy
locally, industrial autonomy interna-
tionally and working class unity gen.
orally"
1t is evident that great care was
taken to omit from the manifesto the
words Socialist" and SOCIALISM," but
it is said that the new movement
should be founded on the class strug-
gle, and it's general administration
should be conducted in harmony with
the recognition of the irrepressible con-
flict between the capitalist class and
the working Glass; Frequent illusions
are also made to the wage slaves
and the ballot box" and as a whole
the manifesto is a good sample Of So
cialist literature. While it Is promised
that the new movement shall mot
affiliate with any political party" the
names Of the gentlement who have
signed the circular are a standing
guarantee that it will be unnecessary
to affiliate with any party. for as fa1
as they are concerned the new or
ganization will be merely sideshow
to that political party which aims tc
abolish wage slavery"

WOLF HUNTING IN ENGLAND.
Ernm thu London Daily Mail:

From the London Daily Mail:
In the Wild fell country to the west
of Northumberland hundreds Of the
Inhabitants continue to follow the
track of the wolf, which, during the
past few days, has laid the flocks Of
the farmers under heavy tribute by
Staying their sheep.
Two months ago wolf escaped from
a private collection at Shotley Bridge.
IL miles from Newcastle. and all trace
of it was lost until about three weeks
ago, when sheep worrying commenced
in the Allendale district.
Raids have been organized. and the
wolf chased over miles of the snow
covered fells by men armed with guns
and various weapons, but without re-
suit. Some of the pursuers are said
to have Got within range Of the animal
with their guns, yet the disturber Of
rural peace has managed to escape.
In many a lonely homestead it Is a
source Of dread to the inmates, whose
imaginat1ons run riot over the wolf
as they listen Ito or retail the latest
Eews concerning its whereabouts.
On Saturday supreme effort was
made to bring him down, but he never
allowed himself to get within range
Of his pursuers' rifles. He was finally
chased by horsemen over the snow
covered moors via West Burnhope,
and when night fell he had reached
Dukesfield, dense, wild wood cover
ing an acre Of not less than 700 acres,
within the solitude of which he doubt
less scent the night.
Intense excitement prevails in the
district. and farmers are keenly anxi-
Gus to see the end of their unWelcome
guest.

Lyceum, Feb. 81 and %, Tuesday and
Wednesday. In, choosing Dustin Far
mum for the role of the comboy hero
in 1.-THE Virginian." Manager Kirke La
Shelle did not act without first con-
sulting Owen Wister, the author of the
story whose mental picture Of his hero
was sure to be most vivid. Upon be-
coming acquainted with Mr.. Farnum,
Mr.. Wister at once endorsed Mr.. La
Shelles' selection of him for the role Of
the Virginian, asserting that the actor
came as near to being a replica Of the
cowboy In the story as one could hope
to find in the flesh.
One thing, however. was lacking. Mr..
Farnum, who halls from Maine and
who spent his boyhood in Boston, found
some difficulty in the use Of the South
ern dialect that characterizes the Vir-
ginian's speech in the book. At his
own suggestion, he went to Virginia
the soft and beautiful accent Of the
South. Some of the quaint experiences
that he met with during. his quest were
amusing.
One afternoon where there was no
one with a dialect around his hotel, he
found what looked like very promis-
ing subject for study in an old-time
Virginian who kept q cigar store. Pur-
chasing a cigar. he tried to draw the
old gentleman into conversation, hop
ing and expecting to hear some choice
speciments Of English as he is spoke"
down South. But the old gentleman
was not communicative. He confined
his remarks to monosyllables and, try
| as he would, Farnum could get nothing
more than Yes" or mo" or "Well,
well.''
Finally, in despair of getting what
he wanted any other way, ~Farnum
frankly explained the object Of his
mission.
"I4l tell you," he said, I'm from the
North. I'm an actor and I have a
part to play next season with a. South
ern dialect; so I came down here to
talk with Southern people to learn to
talk like they do"
The old gentleman looked at him
| with an expression akin to pity and
Farnum knew that he was going to get
more than a one-word reply. Then he
said, with an unprintable accent that
was richer than any Farnum had ever
heard:
Dialect? Y'u all dom aixpect to
hear any dialect doun heah, do y'u?'

An Englishman on a. lecture tour In
the United States says: II believe
England is more of representative
country than America. I note the main
national question before the people is
the regulation of railway rates, and the
President is pushing 1t. The only op-
position to this popular measure is
from the peoples CO representative in
Congress-"
There is more truth than poetry In

THE DYING GASP OF THE GOLD
DEMOCRATS.

The radical Democrats in Congress
have the members of the Gold Wing"
on the run. The TRADE of Congress-
man Sullivan, gold Democrat, against
Mr.. Hearst on Monday is indicative Of
the fact that a weak cause ever re-
sorts to abuse of the other side as a
last result. The people Of the United
States are arising in their might. They
demand Government regulation of rail-
read freight rates. The radical Dem
ocrats, true to their repeated declar-
ations, are being put to the test, and
are not found wanting.
That element of the party that is re-
sponsible for it's crucifixion, ever cur
rying favor with the predatory class,
STOPPING to the nefarious wants and
desires Of the money interests, and
always conservative" on every ques-
ton of real benefit to the people, is
now being unmasked. The line is be-
ing closely drawn. The wheat and the
chaff is being separated, and when the
matter shall have been finally dispos-
ed Of, when the John Sharpe Williams
regime shall have been properly expos
ed, above their ruins will be borne the
New Democracy-the Old Democracy
Terminated and started on the path
OF truth, Righteousness and sincerity
Of purpose.
There never has been very much diff
ference between the Gold Democrats
and the majority faction of the Re-
publican party. The money interests
have ever succeeded in using both.
Now all factions in both parties are
being put to the test. They are COM
PEELED to show to the people whether
they are serving God or Mammon."
Is it not quite the odd thing to see
the Roosevelt Republicans and the
Bryan Democrats practically uniting on
4 common proposition against the
"Monied" Republicans and the Gold
Democrats?

Caney. Mr.. Denoya alighted to open q

There are at present something over
