ENGLISH woRKINGMEN's IDEAS.

HE recent meetings of representative bodies
- Of English workingmen are important in
this country, because they show the tendency of
thought among large element of the masses of
the English people. The movements in foreign
countries, owing to the international idea" that
possesses many of the labor leaders of the world
permeate sooner or later to all countries The
Socialists, with a grip on the masses of Euro
peans so that they have large representation in
the parliaments, have found their way to America
from Europe. This party promises to take rank
as the third party in the United States in the
coming election. II is a class conscious party"
in that il avowedly seeks to array class against
mass and it will be an unhappy day for orr poll
tics when such alignment takes place. if it does
take place.
Recently the Trades Union Federation and the
Labor party Of England held their conferences,
An unsuccessful effort was made to unite these
bodies but the Trades Unonists have held aloof
from the militant Labor party. However in
their demands for economic reform, they are get
ting closer together in their support of measures
which are loosely termed Sociastic
This tendency is all the more significant be-
cause England has been the home of the indi-
viduastic idea, the idea that government should
not interfere with industrial conditions, but that
every man should be left to work out his own sal
walton in making living
AS might be expected the old ace nenson
scheme which was adopted by the English Gov
errment some time ago was much considered At
the conferences. Objection was made 10 fixing
the age for retirement from labor and eligibility

The conferences, on the whole show that a
wide change is taking place in the views Of the
English workingmen towards their own govern
ment They are assuming with the right
to live. the right to work and that one of the
functions of government is to see that there is
work for the people This problem will become
ono of the most important that will engage the
attention of statesmen, as it is radical departure
from the old views of industrial life which have
so long prevailed

TAFT AND THE SOUTH.

IT HERE is a desire to hear Mr.. Taft in the
\ South, and the Republican candidate eX-
poets TO visit that part of the country, not IN the
hope that he will win the electoral votes of any OF
the Southern States but merely for educational
purposes and TO show the Southern people that
they are part of the country not to be ignored
AS an instance of the friendly feeling for TAFT
throughout the South, it may be mentioned that
five hundred residents of Atlanta Georgia, in
cluding business and professional men, have
united in extending an invitation TO the Republi-
can candidate to visit that State. The Georgians
say they desire to hear both sides during this
campaign A cordial and respectful hearing is
promised Mr.. Taft should he visit Atlanta.
1t will be recalled that the Georgia delegates to
the Democratic convention at Denver were op-
posed TO the nomination of Mr.. Bryan, and
throughout the Southern States there was consid-
cradle opposition TO the nomination of Mr. Bryan
at Denver. Indeed, the candidate is not receiv-
ing enthusiastic support in the South, although
as a matter OF habit, the Democrats OF those
States will support the regular candidate OF the
party.
The remarkable industrial development Of
parts Of the Southern States during recent years
naturally has tended more to divide the people on
national issues and il would not be bad idea for
the National Republican Committee to pay some
attention TO these States. An objection has been
made however that in some of the Southern
States, notably in Tennessee, the present leaders
Of the party are not anxious for the party to in
crease in numbers. So long as the Republicans
remain in control these Southern leaders of the
party have close corporation for handling the
Federal patronage in the South. There is enough
of that patronage to go around, and if there were
more Republicans in the South there would be
harder fights for the patronage and some OF the
fellows would be left.
This theory of the deafness of the party in the
South has been advanced by some Republican
writers who have studied conditions and there is
probably large measure of truth in it.

KINKS IN DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.

M r. BELL, the chief speaker at the Demo
4 cratic meeting at the Opera House last
evening, delivered glowing tribute to Mr.
Bryan. lie painted fine picture from his point
of view of the Democratic candidate. Probably
he was aware of the movement against Bryan in
this State before the State convention that sent
delegates pledged TO Judge Gray to the Denver
convention, and he thought that stirring up OF
Bryan sentiment in this State was needed
And he was not far wrong, as the Democratic
speakers are saying but little about the Demo
cratic candidate for president while one OF the
Democratic mouth pieces continues 10 crack the
head of the Democratic candidate, just as it has
been doing for many years.
1t is hard for them TO realize that the Demo-
cratic party of to-day is the Democratic party OF
Mr. Bryan, and not the party of the friends Of
Mr. Cleveland.
AS a result of this sentiment, the Democratic
opponents of Mr.. Bryan, while not friendly to
him, are warmly supporting the State ticket,
probably because it is composed largely of cand-
dates who have never been noted for the devotion
TO the cause of the Nebraskan. But such cam
paign is likely to sap the enthusiasm OF the Demo
cratic boomers.
