THE SOCIALIST FIZZLE.

The fizzle of the socialist May Day parade
and mass meeting ought to be a lesson TO New
York in the handling of such gatherings. 1t
was sanctioned and therefore amounted to
nothing The reporting of 1t will occupy only
a short space in the newspapers, and If meet
ings of the sort were regularly permitted they
would soon get 10 attract even less attention
than yesterdays did. Its predecessor in Union
Square was forbidden, and therefore the action
of the police in dispensing the demonstrators
attracted a large crowd of sIghtseers, until it
really looked as if the socialists had sue
ceeded in getting the people to listen TO their
harangues.
The conduct of Mr.. Robert Hunter, the parlOr
socialist. on the two occasions was character
stc and shows clearly enough what is the
sensible way of dealing with the socialists.
When the meeting forbidden he attended
and started the ''Marseillaise," a very parlOr
revolutionary thing to do. which surely threat
ened the foundations of Constitution! He
got good deal of space in the newspapers,
which is thing that most socialists like. and
ne was able afterward to write long letters of
protest to the press and draw down upon his
devoted head the might of editorial thunders.
Yesterday when he was permitted to speak,
he did not turn up; there was no prospect of
advertising In 1t.
After the forbidden gathering the socialists
all over town held meetings OF protest and de-
nounced the tyranny of the law" After yes
terday's fizze they will be TO keep very
quiet Repression is the very breath of their
nostrils, and they love publicity with an ex
ceeding great love. The hystera over social
ism exhibited in some of the New York news
papers after the earlier Union Square meeting
delighted the propagandists nothing that
has ever happened in this country before. 1t
was. as they themselves said, "a great adyer
tiSement for socialism"
