Socialism la America.
The excitement ami demoralization
of lubor has given the bomb thrower*
and dynamite army of socialists which
had its poisonicusgrowth in despotic
Europe, a chance to display its beauties
in this country. A socialist mob in
Chicago on Tuesday last created a riot
In which a numi er of police officers
Were killed and wounded by hand
bombs thrown in their ranks. The
mob also fired on tlie police with re
volvers. which was returned and a
large number of the mob were killed
and wounded. The rioters and their
leaders and inciters were principally
foe gners, speaking a foreign language.
Americans who baud together and so.v
the wind in those aimless contests with
enterprise and capital will find that
they have created a storm which they
are unable to control, and from which
they will sustain irreparable damage.
Labor Unions, though theoretically
promising much to the wage earner,
have resulted, rathei more tor his dis
advantages when benefits and injuries
have been balanced. They are not b,sed
on true principles or guided by reason
and intelligence.
The attempt to place all grades of
laborers in the same class must inevit
able injure the better and more skilled
men, the worthless and profligate drag
ing them down tq, fheir own level.
There is a class of laborers who are
governed by the maxim that the world
• wes them a living, who had rather see
their employer lose than gain. This
class have dragged the unions down,
and until this class isrigedly excluded
from the unions, they will fail to effect
any permanent gogd for faithful hon
est laboi.

full pf‘‘‘Tanglefoot'’ and on their .

was the best man. lly mutual con- '
gent 'they ran their canoes ashore
and bpgan fighting. Wiley was get
ting the better of the contest when
Cannon drew a dirk and began cut- j
ting bis assailant. Wiley was cut I
aptoss the arms, thigh and stomaeh. '
these two cuts almost disemboweled
him an,d he was forced to. jump into (
the river to save himself from being ■
killed. He was rescued and put in

Congress is tinkering some wnat
at railroad legislation. The public
will never have justice or the rail
road companies peace t 11 corporations
the watered stocl; lias been expung
ed from these corporation debts, by
paring down the face value till the
actual cost of the roads only is rep
resented in their debt. A herok
measure, but otic that will be brought
about some day in the future.
There is a vast difference between
the boy r 9 of today and those of fifty
y’ears ago, more especially as regards
the things which minister to comfort
and pleasure. Perhaps it is only an
old boss’ partiality for old ways, bill
it seems to us that the hard experi
ence of the old boys did more for them
in many ways than the softer and ca
i-ier lot of the new boys does for them.
The former were quite as happy with
the little they had as the latter are
with their much; and they were
taught—what the others are r.ot —
economy, industry, ingenuity, self
denial, self reliauce, the value of
money, the necessity of labor. Prob
ably tbe new method oftraining boys
makes more gentlemen, but the old
melhwd made more men; and the
world needs men more than it does
gentlemen.— St. Louis Republican.
