viii Socialism Die?
By C. W. GILLESPIE.

The Coal Barons of West Virginia
are the last GREAT power to deliver a
death O. blow to Socialism. Sl'Ooo'
600 is the weapon to be used in buy
ine legislatures, courts and all otheF
paraphernalia used in making Law.
# the barons would read past history,
thew would know the fate of the ones
who tried to take a peoples rights
from them. Look at France. that
great field of political and social eH-
Deriment, where on March IS, 1871,
was plaved the fearful tragedy OF the
Commune. Events in Paris had ralS-
ed the soclaIistic working class TO po-
liticaI power, but after heroic struggles
against the assaults of the army were
forced to relinuuiSh their power after
10000 workers were killed, as many
more captured to die in fetid prisons
and others in poisonous swamps.
What JOY took possession of the Bour-
eeoise of the whole world Socialism
was dead! Their memory must have
been short, for only % years before
had Paris been the scene Of similar
revolution, where Socialism had been
killed." Horrible enormities were
committed by the Victors. Thousands
of prisoners we're murdered in cold
blood and many others whom they
feared TO kill were deported. The
Society of Exploiters were saved again
Socialism was dead and buried. Who
could imagine any danger from it in
the future? The earth was stamped
hard on its grave, how could it rise a.
gain? The republic was laid in the
tomb with Socialism, and Napoleon, a
peTjured wretch, raised his imperial
throne over the grave of both. Blood
and iron ruled. The press was bought

eyes of the master class, Napoleon

with the divine attributes Of OmniS-
cience and omnipotence. But the
giant only slept, he stirred, and the
throne tottered and fell, and six
months afterward the people elected
a municipal council.

jamestown, April 26.-The body
of Albert Clemens was found hang
ing in his barn at his home, about
fifteen miles south Of Jamestown.
His wife had gone to the Roy Seek
erson place to spend the day, and
Mr.. Clemens was left at home, where
he had some little work to attend
to. He had lost horse the day be-
fore, and, having suffered previous
ly from two attacks of insanity, it
is thought that the slight trouble
may have disturbed his. mental con-
dition sufficiently to suggest the sui
eide. He had placed a couple Of
boxes on the floor of the barn, had
fastened rope around his neck and
to one of the rafters or beams in the
barn. The boxes had then been
kicked from beneath him and he
had strangled. The deceased had
been in the insane asylum at two
different intervals, but exhibited
no special symptoms Of a recurring
attack at this time.
