An Eminent Opinion.

The same power which prcscribcs
rules for the possession and descent
of property can, of course, alter
them, for plain absurdities would
follow if this were not so; and the
consent of nations and the prac-
ticcs of ages have long since cstab-
lishcd this simple truth. 1t has
been shown from reason and upon
authority that the great and bcnef-
icent institution of private proper
ty rests upon the general advan-
tages. The defense of any law OF
property must ultimately rest on
this, that it inures to the general
advantage; and in free countries,
indeed. cannot conceive eny law
standing on any other basis.
Laws of property are, like all other
laws, to be changed when the pub
lie good requires it. Owners OF
property, from largest to smallest,
should recognize that their enjoy
ment of the common stock of the
state, if it Injuries the state, can
no more be defended and will no
more be endured by a free people
than any other public mischief or
nuisacne. Chief Justice Coleridge,
of England.

its henchnen among labor organi
cations has been and will continue
TO be exhausted in the effort to pre-
vent this one thing. 1t is the one
safe, easy and absolutely sure meth
cd for labor to win its final victory.
There will be two devices to
which the capitalist class will resort
in their final efforts to prevent the
laboring class from winning their
political victory.
(a) The organization of fake
Labor union parties,'' and ''mu-
nicipal or public ownership par
ties, and (b) the offering, on old
party platforms. of certain halfway
reform measures which they
will point out as sensible and
safe. But these are familiar
tricks, and only the careless will
/ long be deceived. With the Social
list party already casting 400, 900
votes in America, with scores of
weekly and monthly publications,
with an organization in every state
of the Union, Endorsed by fhous-
ands of labor unionists all over the
country, with so years of history
in other countries as well as this,
in which il has shown deathless
devotion 10 the cause of labor,
with comradeship in every nation
on the earth, embracing a voting
membership of over 5000, 900, and,
above all, with the ouly real and
logical program for the r>ilef of la
bor--the attempt to start another
labor party is sheer nonsense on the
part of the designing.
This then is the Socialist pro-
gram: Convince the people; d
Organize the Socialist party; B.
Capture the powers of government;
: 4-Transform the present system of
private ownership of the material
means of production into the collec-
tive ownership, and thus as rapidly
: as possible inauguratc the cooper
: alive commonwealth.
These are, in briefest outline,
= the principles and program of what
is destined soon to become the
= mightiest movement for human
q Already the songs OF triumphant
i hope, and faith in the cause, are

Countess Prophet of Revolt.

From the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph.
London, September 6.-The Coun-
tess of Warwick appeared as
prophecies at the session of the
Trades Union Congress at Liver
pool. Wearing a big Gainsborough
hat covered with a mass of black
ostrich feathers and a handsome
black and white costume, she told
the delegates that she was persccut-
ed by the aristocracy for her adhe-
sion to the cause of Socialism.
Then, stretching out her arms,
which we're Immediately glovcd

exclaimed:
Before long the storm will
burst. There will be social rev.
olution, and in a social revolution
will be more useful than now.
Socialism is the only hope of the

THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY.
Vivid Memories of the War Between
 Russia and Japan.

Portsmouth. N, H., Aug 29.-To the minds of the residents of this city who observed the historic events of year ago at the Portsmouth navy yard. to-day brought vivid memories. for this was the first anniversary of the signing of the treaty which end ed the war between Russia and Jap an. There was no special observance of the day here. The scenes in ane about Portsmouth this summer have been in strong contrast to those of last year.
 Then the city and nearby shore re- sorts. particularly Newcastle. where the envoys of the warning countries were quartered were thronged with distinguished diplomats. famous Am erican and foreign newspaper corres- pondents and editors and thousands of persons from all parts of the coun- try who were down here by curiosity to watch the progress of the peace negotiations. This year. while there has been the usual large number of summer visitors In this vicinity. the streets have seemed deserted In com parison with last summer and the at- mosphere. instead of being charged with the tenseness of expectation has resumed its customary quiet.

SEVERAL FELL INTO TRAP

London, Aug 29.-A well dressed young American, posing as member of the. Harvard crew, yictimized West End hadesmen out of several hundred pounds sterling during the past week. His plan was most sim pie. Registering at the large hotels under the name of one of the Har- yard crew he would go to stores and order clothes and other articles to be sent to the hotels where ha was stop ping, asking that the bill be forward ed the next day. In every case the trades man fell into the trap and the articles were sent. But when the collectors went for the money they were informed that the man had left soon after the arrival of the parcel. Gunmakers, tailors and others were among the victims. Apparently mere ly for bravado the man called on the curate of fashionable church and spent three hours with rim discussing church affairs. Before leaving he promised to contribute more than $2.- NO0 to various charities. After wait- ing some days for the money the cu- rate called at the American embassy to inquire for the man, who had giv- en the name of D. A. Newall, No ' In the Harvard boat and found that he had been deceived

Cambridge Was Slow.

Putney, Eng. Aug 29.-On an ebb tide and against a slight head wind. C6mDfidge did the full course this morning in 90 minutes seconds. This Is twenty-one seconds slower than Harvard's time yesterday even- ing. The Harvard men were some- what favored by a following wind. but the Cambridge crew had the ad- vantage of being paced during the last half mile by a Leander crew. Stuart set the stroke at 36 on start ing. but after two miles 1t had drop ped to 31. Subsequently the crew rallied and finished with strong 36. The Harvard men were only out for quarter of an hour this morning and were mostly engaged in paddling. though they had minute burst from the stake boat. doing 35 strokes to the minute. The result of Cambridge's s trial this morning was distinctly dis appointing to the supporters of the home crew and the Harvard stock went up several points. The Cam bridge men themselves were. quite disappointed and as the result of a short consultation after the trial they decided to immediately order a new boat of Clasper.

RUSSIAN CONSUL
 FIRED 0N FOUR TIMES ShsadBg Took Place at Russian Consulate and the Would Be
 Assassin W. Arrested
PAPERS DISCUSS OUTLOOK
Revolutionary Terrorism is Not to Be Met With Terrorism By
 Government

Tien Tsin, Aug 29.-The Russian consul here, NJ. Laptew, was shot IT the stomach to-day by a Russian con cession contractor, named Levinsky who fired four times at the consul and hit. him once. The shooting oc- cured at the Russian consulate. The would-be assassin was arrested. His victim Is in Q dangerous condition.
 St Petersburg, Aug 20.-The Liber- al papers welcome the semi-offlcial statement made yesterday in behalf of the government, that It would be q great mistake to suppose that reyo. lutionary terrorism will be met by terrorism on the part of the govern ment, and adding that the cabinet in- tends to continue in the path of re- form. But. the papers plainly mani, fest thcir distruct of whether the ministry will he able to master the situation by the publication of the ukase providing for the distribution of land to the peasants. Some of the papers, however, hail the announce ment as being distinct concession from the position which the govern ment took two months ago, when Premier Goremykin returned Non Possnmus to this demand, on the part of the parliament.

The Card at Rockville.

Readville. Mass. Aug 29.-The card of racing at the Readville track to-day was made up of the events postponed yesterday on account of a heavy track. This will bring the close of the meeting on Friday. but the horsemen will still have plenty of time in which to ship their horses to Hartford for the grand circuit meeting which opens there Monday. The program to-day is one of the best of the meeting. A great contest is expected when Lady Gail Hamilton, Msinsheet. Gro. Nut Boy and Bril- liant Girl come together in the 2:09 trot. Argot Boy. My Chance and Princess Helen are favorites in the 2:0e pace. though the first named has the strongest backing. in view of the fast race he won last week. The 2:14 pace will bring out a field of fourteen. among which 1t will be dificult to pick the winner.

CLorHIER IS CHAMPION.
Ho Defeated Beals of Boston-His
 Score was e-s. 60, o.4.

Newport. R. T., Aug 2s.-The fine weather which has favored the na. tional lawn tennis championships this year continued to-day, when the challenge round was played between Beals c. Wright of Boston, the present title holder. and William J. Clothier of Philadelphia, who yester. day won the all corners tournament. It was Wright's first defense of the challenge cup. as we'll as the first time Clothier has reached the chal- lenge round in the national courna- ment. They met last year in the finals of the all comers' tournament, Wright winning easily and defeating Holmobe Ward of Orange, N. J., for the championship. Had Wright not sustained an injury to his hand last spring he would have been a strong favorite to-day. Whether he had succeeded in getting back into the form which he had reached before the injury was the question which puzzled close followers of the game.
