The Register says it is impossible to even suppose that the syndicate anxious to buy the Herby road could have any other motive than(to pro mote the welfare and prosperity of the city. This is a fair sample of some of the inane editorials that appear in the l!egi4er. On June 17 New Haven dedicates a monument in the memory of its dead soldiers, and emblematic of the abolition of black slavery. The day has not yet been fixed for the dedication of the monument pro claiming the abolition of industrial slavery, but we expect to be on hand to witness the grand demonstration, and we shan't be bent with age, either. The "Tailors' Progressive Union nf America" values the power of printers' ink, and sends out the first number of Progress, their olhcial organ.

The following resolutions were unanimously passed at the General Council of the Social Democratic Federation, held on Monday, Jan uary : "Unit tins meeting oi the General Council of the Social 1 emoeratic Federation expresses its deepest sympathy with their com rades of the Norwich Branch of the Socialist League, who have been so harshly dealt with by Mr. Justice Grantham, in connection with the disturbances in the city, and strongly condemns the ferocious partisanship and indecent distortion of facts shown by a judge who gained his seat on the bench by doing the dirty work ot the J cry Partv. "That this meeting of the Gen ral Council of the S. T. F. as rep resentative of a body which for years stood alone among English organiza tions in opposing Liberal Coercion, and in helping to withstand the in famous evictions of which the horri ble scenes at Glenbeigh form but the most recent example, vehemently condemns the systematic oppression of the people which is supported by the English Army and enforced by an armed constabulary, once more leclares that Home Rule for Ire land, meaning the full control of all Irish business by the inhabitants of Ireland, is the only solution of the question, and strongly advocates a close combination of the democracy on both sides of St. George s chan nel to that end.

To the Workmen's Advocate: Seeing in your last issue that there was no trouble with the New Haven trades, only the Typographical Union's light with the Journal and Conner, I would like to state that there is a greater evil existing in the city of New Haven to-day than the above mentioned, and that is in the lock department of J. H Sarirent & Co. Last September the heli were reduced to four days a week, and from that to three. A good many left through those short hours, anil such as did not are getting kicked out daily. At the commencement of those short hours they were cut down to a low ligure, so that to-day there are only a few of the old hands there, the places of the others lie. im' taken no by scabs. 1 wonder what Organized Labor is coming to in New 1 Liven, as New York gentleman remarked a few days ago, that if the labor organi zations in New Haven are ruled by the men such as are ruling, it will be not to the interest of the working class. J. IS. Sargent says he is a friend of la bor, if so it's curious that he employs such mean tools as Stetson to tyrannize over labor. 1 he above statement all re fers to the lock department which is true in every particular. At present leisure jiermits me to say no more; in my next I will le able to give you more infornia turn, honing that you will give this a space in your fearless columns. Yours, Sl'LUVAN To the Workmen's Advocate: I had the fortune of listening to a part of an address delivered by Attorney litis sell last Sunday, and was surprised to hear him assert that "poverty is neces sary for the maintenance and progress of civilization, as without jioverty or fear of iMjverty the human race would not labor." I have manv times heard such state ments from the ignorat, but was aston ished to hear such an expression from the learned attorney. He must hold a very low estimate of the human family if he thinks there is no higher incentive to industry than starvation or the fear thereof. I believe every intelligent, un prejudiced man will admit that the best paid, fed and clothed workmen who are far removed from the fear of immediate want, are the most industrious, faithful and efheitut; such do not need the con stant watclif ulness of their employers or agents to see that they do their duty. is the underpaid, underfed and poorly clothed workmen who need constant oversight in order to get a fair day's work for an inadequate compensation. I 8uppojmployer8 believe in this theory when they establish nieeo-work and cut down the price ho that thu average worn man can barely maintain an existence by doing his utmost, thus getting the great est amount of work U'cmise the workman annot lose a day without feeling the jinch of poverty. Does Mr. Russell, for instance, follow his profession so indus triously because he is so poor or fears onnng to poverty : I think not; 1 have a higher estimate of the man thanh. seems to have of his fellow men; 1 be lieve he is actuated by a higher motive. Does the learned attorney lelieve that the poverty which compels twenty thou sand women annually in New York I'ity to prostitute themselves to keep from starvation, and the other unknown thou sands forced to suicide by hunger; and the thousands who die from overwork and ujsutlicient food combined, does lie th'uk this poverty is necessary for the maintenance of civilization V If this theory is sound, then 1 say away with the civilization which requires, such stu pendous sacrifices for its maintenance and back to a savuge htate, if necessary, where female virtue wiJl be respected and the children not allowed to be wasted in factories for the support of a few in aftt uen.ee. Every instinct of Christianity cries vloud for a better social, industrial and economic condition; let us have it, and we may rest assured if there should prove to be a class who will not labor without starvation or the fear thereof, the com munity will lind a better remedy than starvation to compel them to produce enough at least for their own mainten- uice.
