CONSTABLE
WEST DEAD.
Passed Away at His Home
On West Seventh Street
Monday Night.
A FAITHFUL OFFICER.
Was a True Democrat And
One of the Best Known
81 Men in the County.
\ FAITHFUL OFFICER.

After being confined to his bed a
little oyer two weeks, with a COM
plication of diseases, Mr.. w. H.
West died at his home on West
Seventh street Monday night. Three
children Mrs. Jennie Owen, Miss
Fannie West and R. A. West-sur
vive him.
Mr. West was one of the most ex-
tensively known citizens of the
county. He was elected Constable
of the Second Magisterial District
several years ago, which office he
filed efficiently for several terms
and was reelected last November
for another term of four years.
Before moving to the city a score
or more years ago, Mr.. West was en-.
gagged in stock raising and merchan
dising on his farm in the Western
part Of the county, which brought
him in contact with the people Of
that section of the county. He wa,
generally popular and was consid
cred a good business man and wa
quite successful.
Constable West was a Democra
and never failed to give his party hi
most ardent support, often being il
positions when loyalty to Democrat,
jeopardized his business, bu
throughout he always remained tru,
to his.party. Il
Though suffering from a compiled
tion'of diseases for many months
being a man Of great vitality for hi
years, he withdrew from the dutie
of his Office only when his physica
condition compelled him.
Mr.. West was rs years of age anC
was for number of years a member
of the Methodist church. Funera
services took place at his late resi-
dence Tuesday afternoon and the re-
mains Of one Of our oldest native
citizens were laid to rest in Hopewell

WARES AMENDMENT
Removed Most of the Kicking
Against the Cow Law.

There seems to be'no great dissat-
isfaction over the passage of the
Cow law" by the City Council. Even
those who were opposed to the pro-
posed ordinance were satisfied by the
amendment offered by Councilman
Ware, postponing the operation of
the law until May l. Mr.. Ware was
an original and outspoken advocate
of the law, but in a spirit of fairness
thought the owners should be given
a month or two to arrange enclosures
for their cattle.
This wise amendment has doubt
less caused the law to be looked upon
with almost general favor.

already been formulated. They include
female suffrage, such reforms as promise
to curb and curtail and finally overthrow
all hereditary rule y the reduction OF "the
burden of militarism," naturalization OF
the land and the state ownership Of rail-
roads and great productive concerns.
LABOR AND GREAT CAPITAL ACcUMULATIoSs.
With regard to the last mentioned point
the intentions of the Socialists are clearly
defined. To the great Accommodations OF
capital that are so rapidly proceedir g
and to the development Of me chanical in
v~entions they attribute the Constant re-
duction of the demand\ for labor. Their
intentions toward all concerns Of large
capital may be inferred from the following
passage in an article by Keir Hardie, the
leader of the new party in the House of
Commons:
"One Of the largest productive concerns
in this country is the London and North
Western Railway, whose capital Of a128 GOO
600 includes a great manufacturing capital.
This company makes and does nearly every
thing which it needs t use or to do, even
down to engraving its l~avatory carria GO
windows and making wooden legs for its
dismembered shunters.
"Conse uently in some years it has been
abe to pay 10 per cent. dividends. In one
year it paid away in dividends, interest, and
fees nearly twice as much as in wages.
S far as its servants have benefited
it has been by trade union action and State
compelled reduction of hours. Even then
it is idle to allege that the number of work.
ers employed has anywhere near kept pace
with the increase of capital and output.
Armstrong i Whit worth, Guest d
Keep, Wilson 4 Leylands, the SEWN
Cotton Company and the Fine Cotton Spin
ners-iive firms in a~ll-control a capital
Of over e25 ,0U0, 900. It does not need great
ina gtnation to realize how much labor is
saved by such concentration"
BY the time another general election
comes around the Laborites express their
confidence in being able to return more
than 100 representatives. Not till then
do they consider that the real conflict Of
the future will be entered upon.
WILL FIGHT BOTH OLD PARTIES.
"Why the Socialists will fight the Liberal
party" Is the headline of a three column
article in the Cdrion's latest issue. 1T
is not, the article declares, because the
Liberal party is not prepared to go the
whole Of the way with us that we are hostile
to them. 1t is because they arc going a
different way altogether.
For the future the Laborites will work
entirely for their own party and a Liberal
seat will be contested as eagerly as Il Con-
s~ervative. Nothing is more evident in the
writings and speeches of the Socialist branch
Of the Labor party than the determination
no longor ITO bs attached to the chariot
wheels of the Liberal party" Thus it is
that one Of the first great results OF the
election Of 1905 will be a reconstruction of
British political parties.

ENGL.4ND'S SURPRISE.
Political Triumph OF Labor Party-Its
Strength and Aims.

LONDON. March GA consideration OF
English Socialism at the present moment
is the consideration of a thing in posse
rather than Of one in esse. Indeed. before
the recent general election nearly all Eng
lishmen would bave declared, with a per-
fectly honest conviction, that Socialism
as a practical factor in modern English
politics did not exist. The dilapidated
declaimer OF red revolution in Hyde Park
and the F abianism Of George Bernard Shaw
were thought almost to cover the extent
Of British Socialism, and both were re-
garded as a jest rather than a matter for
serious consideration.
With the advent, however, of a homo
geneous Labor party in the new House Of
Commons all this is changed, and our
views must be reconstructed accordingly.
Even now it would be wrong to say that
Socialism exists in England as an organized
force such as we find it in Belgium, in Ger
many or in France; but the embryo of
what is to develop into a we'll defined and
highly organized Socialist party il now
plainly set before our Dyes. In the words
Of the Clarion, the leading English Socialist
organ:
THE Labor party is only the advance
guard Of the Socialist party. And the
Socialist party is coming. and coming to
stay
The origin and growth ofthis independent
Labor PARTY, then, first demand considera-
tion. It's future is still a matter for con-
lecture.
w~oRKINGMEN AS NJ. P.'s.
The two first w~orkingmen members were
returned to Parliament az far back as 1874,
but they and the few who followed them
in subsequent ~Parliaments were only work
men members Of the Liberal party.
The demand for real independent Labor
representatives arose out of the organizing
work Of the trade unionists. A dozen
candidates sought and failed to secure
election in 1892. In the following yearthe
Independent Labor party was formed as
m avowedly Socialistic organization which
should be completely independent politi-
cally of the orthodox parties.
The next step in the development OF the
party a the formation Of the Labor
Representation Committee by the Trade
Union Congress Of 1899. It Il to this com.

they have made the discovery Of another
rendu In their ranks. There il scarcely q
man among the leading Socialists Of France
who has not already been tainted az q
WARBLER, a renegade or a reaotionary BY
his friends of yesterday.
This state OF mind has frequently de-
prived the Socialist leaders of their full
liberty Of action.
The profession of Socialism is an easy
step to notoriety, and in France notoriety
leads to power. Judging by their public
conduct, it is hard not to believe that per-
sonal ambition, rather than the general
good, is the motive which aotuates many
Of the Socialist. leaders. AS soon as M.
Jaures and his disciples had left the Petite
R6pablique, NJ. Gerahld- Richard promptly
struck the word Socialist" from the sub
title Of that journal and substituted the
word democratic" 1T was necessary TO
appeal to another class of readers, as NJ,
Jaures was almost certain to carry most
of the old readers to his new venture, the
Humdnite.
This easy method Of changing ones flag
as one might chang ones gloves is very
typical. Humdnit6 has had a some what
cheokered career during its short existence.
1t still appears daily, but. as the French pic
tuIesquely soy, 1T has lead in its Wings

too redundant phraseology and his too
frequent cry of Traitor" Every one who
does not step to his piping Is for him a

improbable that his fate may resemble

Its Spread, its Strength, Its
Theories
MAY CAUSE GREAT CHANGES
Surprise In England Over the
ReCent Election.

Resources OF the British Labor Party
Social Democracy In Germany En-
gagged In a struggle With the Kaiser
French WOrkmen Organized for the
appropriation Of Property by Means
OF the General Strike Purposes OF
the Revolutionary Socialists in Russia.
LONDON. March mo subject is causing
greater concern to European publicists
and statesmen at the present moment h
the amazing spread in all countries OF the
so-called Socialist movement. The name
is largely a m%isnomer, for in Germany and
Russia it applies chiefly to the general revolt
REainst monarchical institutions, while even
in England it fails to cover all that in America
is understood to be included in the term
socialism.
A pretencs is made toward International
ism, but there is really little practical
cohesion between races and countries in
the movement. In four great Powers,
however, it has gained the dimensions of an
important element in the body polite, and
in two-namely. England and Germany
it threatens to disrupt, completely existing
political conditions.
In England the sudden advent OF this
new power has dumfounded the politicians
of all parties. 1t was utterly unexpected,
and it's significance is scarcely yet realized
even by its own leaders.
The result Of the general election is a
political paradox. 1t shows apparently a
victory Of unprecedented magnitude for
the Liberal party; in reality, it foGeshadows
the destruction of that party.
The Socialist-Labor party had no concep-
ton Of its own strength previous to the
election. Had they realized their power
the leaders would have run independent
candidates in hundreds OF constituencies
where they gave half hearted support to
the Liberal ticket. The effect would have
been to seat nearer 100 than so Socialists
and to elect by reason of the triangular
contests more than twice as many Unionists
as were actually returned. 1t will be this
cleavage Of the present so-called Liberal
party which will return the Unionists to
power at a much earlier date than is now
expected.
In Germany the Social Democratic move.
ment is practically a struggle for representa-
tion-for political emancipation. 1t has
reached huge proportions and it has aroused
hatred so bitter on the part of Prince Bu!ow
and the Kaiser himself that their language
Of denunciation is a confession of their
sense Of dire peril.
In France the Socialist movement largely
accounts for the spread of anti-clericalism
among the masses and explains how it
has come about that the nation which was
yesterday the stanchest supporter of the
Roman Church banishes that Church to-day
as a State institution.
Some account of Socialism, its strength,
its theories and its practical political pro-
grammes in the countries named and in
Russia is given by correspondents Of THE
SuN in what follows.

PARIS, March s,-The following outline
Of the purposes of French Socialists was
written by Emile Pouget, an advanced So
c%ialist, whose paper, La Voir du Peuple,
has been suppressed for a violent outbreak
OF naturalization. Pouget and the large
class he represents have no sympathy
with the Parliamentary Socialists, and
regard Jaures and his following in the
Chamber as Socialist reformers of the draw

THE SOCIALISTS.
1t may be gathered from the foregoing
that the syndicated Socialists of France,
whose membership is reckoned at $50, 900,
are bitterly opposed to the Parliamentary
party. They refuse any participation
in Parliamentary work, and rely solely for
the advancement of their ideas on the
organization of a general strike.
The Parliamentary Socialists who voted
the Socialist ticket at the last elections
numbered, according to the accurate
Socialist writer Paul Louis, $50, 900. The
number who subscribe to tho funds Of the
party is given at only $4,000.
The distribution of wealth in France Is
OF too general a character TO leave q very
large field for the spread Of Socialism. The
lower ourgeoisie, among whom may be in
cluded the better paid workmen, whose one
ambition is TO rise as soon as possible to
the rank of master, are both hard working
and thrifty; they constantly add to their
little stock, eagerly awaiting the day when
safely invested its interest will allow them
to live Mt their leisure. When that day
arrives the small tradeslps-gelpses his shop

According to men intimately ac-

Is conceded that just about one-quar-
ter of the consignments received for
transit find ready dispatch the other
three -fourths taking such subsequent
handling as the fore shortened ext

was exemplifled the other day when
the steamship Columbia went to sea
from here and left over 800 tons of
freight on the o. R. & N. pier and

stance, the arrival of the Aztec, on
another voyage here, will relieve the

valve on the situation as far as that
company is concerned, but all COM
panies are not so fortunate. 1t is
simply another phase of the universal
