ADVOCATE. getic action was imperatively demanded in the interent of the party; that when the Board of Supervinion re mained inactive, the New York Section Bhould have called upon it to intervene, but that the action of the New York Section is excusable, because they be lieved the majority of the Board to be under the influence of the executive committee. TIkmku the correctness of this view is disputed by the Board of Supervision, this opinion was enter tained and had its effect. "We also tind that the New York Sec tion might well believe that the execu tive was endeavoring to pack the con vention called for Sept. 28, but how far this apprehension was borne out by the f:cta we are unable to decide; but we are of the opinion that after the Board of Supervision had suspended both ex ecutive committees and itself taken charge of the management of the party, the Board was the only legal party au thority; that tlie action of the Board of Supervision in postponing the conven tion was justitied, and Rosenberg, Ger ecke, llintze and Sauter, as well as the Chicago Section, placed themselves out side of the party." Paris Congress. "Resolved, 1. That the former Secre tary of the National Executive Commit tee deserves censure for failing to re port to the Board of Supervision the re milt of the general vote. 2. That the insinuations circulated against Borne of 1 he nominees were unfounded and un justifiable, and the comrades are cau tioned to be more careful in the future in respect to such slanders." Slanderous Charges and Insinua tions. ''Whereas, Rosenberg and his parti sans have published unfounded charges and insinuations against several active comrades which, if proven, would dis qualify them for any active participa tion in the labor movement and bring discredit upon their names, "The Convention declares that these charges form a part of those persistent insinuations which Rosenberg and his allies were always ready to throw out against he persons whom they looked upon as their opponents, and are in no respect based on fact; "And the Convention further de clares that there can be no excuse for the proceeding of those slanderers, as it clearly would have been their duty, if they believed in the truth of their insin. uations, to prefer charges before the Sections of which the accused were members, and there prove their allega tions, thus affording to the accused at the same time an opportunity of dis proving the charges by a proper inves tigation.'' Political Action. "Resolved, To recommend to the mem bers wherever one or more labor parties are in the field, to support that party which is the most progressive; that is, the platform and principles which come nearest to ours, and at least recognizes the conflict between capital and labor; but members shall not he permitted to participate in the founding of new par ties when there is no well-founded rea son to believe the same bhail fully recog nize our principles. "With regard to the practical appli cation of these tactics, be it provided, that if a decision has been made by the local section or district organization in the premises.it shall bo binding npon the members; and no member shall take part in such political movement if the section or district has decided against it. "Members are in duty bound to assist in the endeavors of the various eco nomic organizations of wage-workers, by entering the ranks of eucii organiza tions, or to found such organizations an will prevent the economic degradation of the workers and improve their con ditions. "Members are in duty bound to foster our democratic principles in any trades union or K. ofL. Assembly in which they may hold membership, in order to en able the members of those organizations to administer their own affairs, to recog nize the solidarity of all wage-workers, acknowledge the irreconcilable conflict between exploiters and tlteir victims, making these postulates the basis of their economic movement." Capitalistic Parties and Candidates. "Resolved, That under no circum stances shall members of the party lie permitted to use the party organization or the socialistic press for the support of any capitalistic parties or their can didates." The Eioht-Uoub Working Day. "Whereas, The normal work-day, i. e,, the reduction of the hours of labor in proportion to the progress of produc tion, affords in a measure protection against the increasing intensiveness of exploitation, and is therefore desirable; and "Whereas, The normal work-day, through the most radical reform possi ble under the present industrial system, is still only a palliative; and "Whereas, The realization of this de mand cannot afford a lasting safeguard against the pauperization of the masses, in consequence of the perfected divi sion of labor, the progress of inven tion and the use of machinery, the emancipation of the working people being impossible without a fundamental change of the social system, be it "Resolved, That we urge all members of the party everywhere, and at all times, to take an active part in the eight-hour movement of the trades unions, always keeping in view the above considerations." International Federation. "Wltereas, The interests of the ex ploited in their struggle against their industrial enslavement are identical throughout all countries; and "Whereas, The time has come when this solidarity bhould tind expression in an international organization, he it "Resolved, That we fully endorse the resolutions of the Paris International Labor Congress as far as the same are applicable in this country, and we in struct the coming executive to enter into communication with the socialist parties and organizations of other coun tries with a view to forming an interna tional federation." The Flag Incident. "Resolved, That we deeply regret the 'blication of a report to the effect that a. a public meeting of Socialists at Vor waert's Turner Hull last Sunday the American Hag was hissed. Although we did not arratige the meeting, and, as strangers in this city, surely cannot he held responsible for the conduct of the audience, yet we declare that none of us has heard any hissing, and that if ther was any it must have been an ex ceedingly insignificant affair, brought on by a few indiscreet persons, llow ever. we can positively say that the American flag when hoisted was greeted by the clapping of hands, and we think the mere fact that the hoisting of the stars and stripes was done should be sufficient proof that there wan no intent whatever to insult or even to show dis respect to the flag." Brooklyn was elected as the seat of the next National Executive Committee. Sanial was recommended for the editor ship of the Workmen's Advocate. For the editorship of Ikr Sozialist three comrades were recommended, Chris tensen, Negendank and Hugo Vogt. Some other matters of interest, includ ing a true report of Shevitch's interview with the Mayor of Chicago after the "flag-hissing" incident, are crowded out of this issue. They will appear in our next, together with the amendments to the constitution. ROSENBERG'S SUICIDE. We republish from the Chicago Inter Ocean and Staats-Zeitung of the 18th inst. the following letter, which needa no comment: "New York, Oct. 15, 1889. "To the Mayor and Citizens of Chicago: "The aggregation of demagogues Sehevitsch, Grotkau, Sanial, the woman Greio and others who took pains to show their hatred of Americans last Sunday at West 12th street in Turner Hall, Chicago, by hissing the American flag, we beg to inform you are not members of the Socialist Party, whose national convention was held in your city from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3. Inclosed you will please find a copy of our plat form, which was then adopted under the flag of our country and the flags of all nations, with which the convention hall was decorated. While we have been and are traduced because of the impudent adoption of the name Social ist by disorderly anarchists, we cannot patent the honorable name of Socialist; but by our energetic opposition to all enemies of the State, and our loyal ad herence to the principles which underlie our national fabric, we hope at least to maintain the respect of all shades of political opinion. At our national con vention held in your city we publicly denounced the ranting demagogues, who would now disgrace the name of our party, and who have not the man hood to show a decent respect for the opinions of others.

To the Workmen's Advocate : Liberty, of Boston, mentions the town of Sitka, Alaska, where "nobody owns any land in fee simple. A man simply builds his house on the best un occupied lot he can find." Possession is the sole title, and it is very effective, for, as Liberty des not state but which is included in the account, "water is both scarce and dear, and has been al most a nionojiolv in the hands of K. T. Lewis, who has the jrood fortune to own the only spring in tie place. Being a live man, he laid pipes into the houses of residents, charging from $3 to $10 a month as a water rate." He owned the land, hence the water. Does Liberty recognize a collective right to that spring? Of course not; collectivism is tyranny. "They are prosperous, happy and well-behaved," says Liberty. But the report which I read says: "The girls in the Indian fam ilies are bought up to be sold for pur poses of immorality." Also, "Cottages readily find tenants at a rent of $25 to $30 per month." Surely there is too much anarchy, or not enough, in Sitka. Mr. Pentecost, of the Twentieth Cen tury, has discovered that nothing can ever be gained by votes or ever has twen. His method is, first, self-reform, and second, agitation; then, "when a large majority of people come to think" a certain reform ought to take place, it trill take place. The tariff will never be reformed by votes. "A decision is hindered by votes," says Pentecost. Cer tain it is that a thing is never decided by votes unles it is voted upon. But suppose abolition of the tariff were voted on in Congress" or in election, would not a small majority do the job? Which is sourer gamed by agitation, a small or a large majority ? While "this utter dependence upon the will of the majority, the legislature, the police, tlm militia and the at my is a pure superstition," and must be a large element in public opinion, it is rather puzzling to hear that "when public opinion demands a thing, it will be done just as well without a law as with one." 1 think Mr, Pentecost can ex plain it. "The lowers of. the army, police," etc., are "wholly for evil." Lwill cite a case. A lot of men working in a fac tory resigned all at once. They ac cepted the principle that they had no right to their positions after leaving. A lot of poor, hungry men, out of work for a long time, weak and despairing, were hired in the factory. The first lot came with bricks, etc., to drive the new lot away; not claiming a superior right to the positions, but to make a strin gency in the labor market, so that their services would again bo needed. Now, the police interfered and protected those othei men as they worked to get food for hungry wives and children. That was "evil," hence to drive out the poorer men, letting their families starve, would have been "good." Of course greater outside causes made it necessary that one lot of men must be out of work; but that does not affect the issue of the moment; and the chief cause was not the police, but "owner ship of vacant laud," according to Mr. Pentecost, which was sustaimd by the opinion of the "large majority," who by "coming to think," are to apply the remedy. Editor Stuart, of the Individualist, wrote a pamphlet on "Natural Rights, Natural Lilierty and Natural Law." His banner carries these words: "Every person has a natural right to do what soever he wills, provided that in the doing thereof he infringes not the equal right of any other person." He tests every law by this principle. It is a pleasatn, harmless and elastic motto. Any child can use it; or any childish person whose opinions on "the equal rights of any other person," are warped by false training. We must elect judges who will be guided by this principle instead of statutes and preced ents. A very good plan indeed, if only people would elect judges on an issue they cannot comprehend. Now, Mr. Stuart says, in his paper, that the main issue is between Rational Individualism and Collective Coercion. A man may conscientiously violate this principle (owing to false education) and a majority-elected judge of equity pun ish him. Is this not Collective Coer cion ? But it is for the Right, hence justified; any doctrinaire says the same Then it is hard to see how men will vote for a judge of equity who will ignore statutes any sooner than they will vote for a statute based upon this "first principle." In either case it is Collective Co-ercion. That which Mr. Stuart implies by the term "natural" differs from the popular meaning, and I think he is wrong. By natural rights, natural liberty and natu ral law we commonly understand the rights, liberty and law that would obtain in the absence of artificial or conven tional devices or customs. But Mr. Stuart means just rights, just liberty and just laws. Whatever is sanctioned by his "first principle" is natural; what ever it prohibits is not natural. Right is natural, wrong unnatural. It is a question of fact. Either tyranny, ine qualityj and injustice are natural or they are not. Where can we go for proof, except to those instances which man's devices and agreements have not modified ? The mouse has no natural rights, if a cat is near; and the cat, by nature, de pries t lie mouse of what Mr. Stuart would call its natural rights and natural liberty. Indeed, Mr. Stuart quotes, in support of his position, A. II. Stephens, who says: "No person has any natural right to wantonly hurt or injure another. The object of government is to prevent or redress injuries of this sort; for in a state of nature, without the superior re straining power of government, the strong woidd viciously imjiose vjion the weuk. Upon entering society however, for the purpose of having their natural rights secured and protected, the weak do not give up or surrender any portion of their priceless heritage, in any gov ernment constituted and orgnniz' d as it should 1." A more careless use of words could not be imagined. The above concedes that primitive m- n, strong and weak, are related as the cat and mouse are related. Remove restraint and the strong tend to viciousness, and devour the weak; and the lower we go the more literally is the devouring done, until we reach canni balism, nature's own cat and mouse scheme. The rights of the weak are the same as those of the mouse. This "priceless heritage" is not to be sur rendered on entering society. But it is overcome just as men's devices overcome any natural evil. The right of the weak to life is thus acquired, by agreement or compact of men, to combine and over come nature, just as they might com bine to overcome malaria by draining a country. No man has a natural right to live in a marsh: but by fortifying his system with medicines (man's device) or removing the malaria, he acquires the right to live there. Mr. Stuart thinks he refutes the "so cial compact hypothesis" by provinf that the original compact cannot justly bind present generations. That is ad mitted. The freedom to make our o n compacts distinguishes democracy from despotism. Every election is a new compact. A right under a relation should not be called a natural right, because it depends upon the consent of another person. If a lover has a natural right to associate with a lady, her consent is of no conse quence. He has a natural right to re quest her company; and the right de pends upon her favor. A real natural right, such as tilling the soil, depends on the consent of no one. In applying hi discoveries in natural law 'r. Stuait makes the most minute distinctions. Thus a man lends tnonev; he has no natural right to appeal to col lective power to get it hack; while If he lends a horse, he has the right. Dis coveries in natural law are of the most general nature, such as the discovery of the expansion of steam. They are applied specifically by man's intellect, by endless methods. So relations must be left to men's inclinations. If a com munity decides that it cannot return a horse that was lent, or can compel re turn of borrowed money, such must be the law in that community, Dissenters can join another collectivity. Mr. Stuart would dislike to be called a State Socialist, but he is one in a de gree. Collective control of a railroad track or other highway protects natural rights; hence is natural. But here is anoth. r queer discovery in natural law, Collective control of engines and cars is vnnatiirtd and wrong. The word natu ral is out of place. Nature has neither railroads nor cars. Men may decide what they will own collectively or per sonally. A practical question of this nature is at least equally as important as one of personal rights. It is discovered that gas can be made and distributed for less than ten cents per thousand feet. This will furnish heat at less than half the cost of coal. Shall collective power lay pipes and furnish this gas at cost, or shall individuals do so for profit; or build two plants and compete; or combine and raise the price ? Such questions are seldom raised in individu alistic journals. When an illustration of "collective coercion" is wanted, State interference of "my right to sjeak, sing, dance travel," etc., does duty in vanquishing the collectivism zeno. SUMMARY OF BELLAMY'S PLAN OF NATIONALISM. (For C7tt8 Study.) Pre pared for "The Dawn" ly Edward Bellamy. (Concluded from last week.) Owing to the fact that the relation of work and maintenance is directly be tween the nation and each individual, no man's livelihood is dependent upon the favor or patronage of any other or group of others, nor any woman's upon a man, nor can a child suffer privation. All citizens, consequently, enjoy moral indejiemience, and are free from social or personal dictation or pressure as to belief, speech or practice, so far as they infringe upon no other's rights. The development of a robust and unfettered individuality, which is rendered so diffi cult to-day by the partial or complete dependence of nearly everybody upon others for support or business patronage, is thus open to all. Owing to the fact that all forms of capital are held in trust by the nation for the people, and all commodities pro duced (y the nation, it follows that everything the individual needs can, and can only, be procured directly from the nation. That is to say, there is no buy ing or selling, or trade of any sort, among individuals; therefore, there is no use for money and no money. The citizen is credited with his annual divi dend of the product of the great part nership, and receives vouchers, upon presentation of which at the public stores he obtains what he wants, at such times and in such quantities as he likes. He expends his share altogether as he pleases, whether his tastes run to rent ing a fine house, having a fine table, or wearing fine clothes. These vouchers are good only for the year for which they are issued, and cannot he accumu lated beyond that, whatever is not taken up being turned over to the pub lic surplus. Spendthrifts becoming public burdens are placed under guar dianship as to their expenses. The por tions of children are also, of course, ex pended for them. While the nation undertakes and con trols all public business, smaller groups of citizens co-operate at will, as now, for social, religious, political, or other semi-private purposes, and are able, substantially as at the present time, to raise common funds for such ends, by contributions from their private credits. Crime has shrunken to almost imper ceptible proportions. Robbery, theft and fraud of every sort are without a motive in a society where all have abun dance, where covetousness is not stimu lated by different degrees of luxury, and where equality of resources is an nually renewed. Not only fraud, but even falsehood, is almost unknown, ow ing to the fact that none are dependent for their livelihood or for any advant age upon the favor of their fellows, and having nothing to fear or hope from them, are without temptation to prevar icate. Aa to crin.es of violence, the universal letinemei t of manners which results from a general high education has tended to reduce theui to the same small proportions in which they now occur among the educated classes. As for corruption among public officials, there are no personal or corporate inter tnts opjiosed to the public interests to create a motive for brilu ry; neither is there any wealth to hnlie with nor pov erty to be bribed. Owing to the equalii v of wealth, mar riages are based solely upon personal preference, and never upon sordid or prudential calculations. The unhin dered operation of the principle of sex ual selection in marriage has exerted a marked effect upon the physical, Intel lectual and moral character of the race. The general wealth of society is rep resented its vastly greater in the year 2000 than it is now. This is owing in l part to the continuance for another century of the scientific progress which has already so enriched the world of to day as compared with the world of the eighteenth century. Quite as much, however, it is owing to the vast positive gains and negative savings in the use of labor resulting from the substitution of the scientific methods of organized ami unified industrial system for the waste ful struggle of the present competitive plan, with its countless waning and mutually destructive undertakings. Tlu account of the manner in which the change was made from the indus trial system of to-day fo that of the year ','IKIO represents it as resulting from the development to its logical conclusion of the tendency now observable to the con solidation of entire trades under the single management of great corpora tions, syndicates and trusts. As in'di vidual ownership and control of great business enterprises has already almost wholly given place to corporate man agement, and as corporate management is now before our eyes giving place to the still larger concentrations of the trusts or syndicates, so, it is repre sented, the syndicates and trusts in due time realized their manifest destiny by absorption in the great trust of t'ie na tion, the universal partnership of the people, The enthusiasm of the people of th. United Slates when they began to foresee the manner in which their salvation was thus destined to be wrought out, and to realize the greatness of it, Is described to have been unparalleled and to have resulted in a popular uprising, peaceful because irresistible, without precedent in history. While the condition of societyjin the year yOOO is described as being" in all ways vastly improved upon that of the present day, it is represented that the people of that epoch by no means rested satisfied in it, or considered it anything more than a single step m the infinite progression of humanity toward the di vine. In looking back upon our time their sentiment was chiefly one of amazement that the race should have been so slow to apply to industrial or ganiztttion principles at once so ohvi ously just and so economically advan tageous. BOSTON. At a public meeting held under the auspices of the American Section, Miss Voltairine deCley re addressed a crowded hall last Sunday evening. Her subject was, "What is Socialism, and who are Socialists ?" She was listened to with marked attention throughout. A large number of questions were asked and answered, and very little opposition was displayed. While insane from fever Mrs. Wil liams, wife of William R.
