March 30, 1899 STATE SOCIALISM Man a Haehlnlsed Automaton, Doing the BverlastlBg Look stop of Socialism. Organised labor will have nothing to do with socialism. Tb war-worn lead ers of the federation of labor have bad their tussle with it and know what it la better than any other clasa of citlxena. "No Intelligent workman who has passed years of his life in the study of the labor problem," said president Gompere of the federation of labor, "expect to wake up any fine morning to find the hopes of these years realised over night and the world on the flood tide of the millenium. With the knowledge that the post tells ns of the slow progress of ages, of trial and travail, mistakes and doubts yet nnsolred; with the history of the work Ing class bedewed with the tears of a thousand generatlone and tinned with life blood of numberless martyrs, the trade unionist is not likelj to stake his future hopes ou the fond chance of the many millions turning philosophers In the twinkling of an eye. Much of our misery as enforced wage-workers springs not so much from any power exerted by the 'npper' or ruling claw, as it is the re sult of the ignorance of so many In our own class who accept conditions by their own violation. The more inteligent, realising their inability to create a mil lennium, will not descend to trickery or Juggling with terms. They seek to ben sill themselves and their fellow-men through trade unions and trade union action, and, by bearing the brunt, be iu the vanguard in the cause, and hasten on the process of education that will fit humanity even to recognise the millen nium when It arrives. Each Ism has stood but as an evanescent and irides cent dream of poor humanity groping blindly in the dark for its ideal; and it has caused many a beart-wrencb to rele- Sate some idealism to movements which 0 not move, to the dead ashes of blast ed hopes and promises. Tbrougbout all these dreams and hopes and fears and attacks, vituperation and misrepresen tation, tbe trade unionists have plodded along tbeir weary way since tbe miner of Laorium, three thousand years ago, laid down bin pick; and, though phantas magorias and dreams have lived and died, tbe wage-earnere, with pick and shovel, with hammer and saw and plane, with bands on tbe lever of tbe bigbeat developed machine, kept, and keep', organising and plodding along toward better conditions ol life.7' One of these Isms we have with us today is state socialism. Its principles, in tbe abstract, are as old as tbe seven bills of tbe Eternal Cly; but tbe modern creation of DeLeon et al., Is very far from tbe private ideal. It stands now as tbe antitbeeis ol trade unionism; it is antagonistic to individual liberty, and progresses along lines parallel with plu tocracy. Plutocracy, by favored leglslatlon,and tbs conception of an oligarchy of poli ticians by a bureaucratic form of gov ernment, are Identical so far as tbe ulti mate object may be. Nor would tbe world be better off with either; for now if those who will not, or can not, acoept tbe views of PeLeonism must submit to misrepresentation and vllllfleation, in lieu of honest government, wbat would be the effect if tbeae mem had power to enforce tbeir dictums ex cathedra? Between state social inm and trade unionism there lies a vast gulf that all the soptiiems of tbe world can not bridge. Tbe latter seeks through liberty of thought aud action to enetill self-confidence, through its educational work; It imposes individual responsibilities, and seeks tbe betterment of tbe mass by ele vating tbe atoms. Modern state socialism has its bosses, its paKod things of lingual swat; the cast iron rigidity of its dogmas never relax; from it decrees there is no ap peal; its votaries must yield blind obe dience to a program that bad its oritciu in tbe deceased brains of erratic individ uals long since returned to un palpable dnst, but defied by antiquity, while tboee who dare doubt its immaculate conception muet face tbe vilest abuse. Its bigoted Intolerance is a nated symp tom of tbe disease, and for this reason has ruined every trade union in which it has faetened its poisonous fangs. The state socialist is never radical; he is simply unique. Individual liberty Is bis bete nolr. His dream is of a bureau crrtio oligarchy formed upon political machine methods, tbe moet damnable system ever conceived in the puttied brain of a Ian tic. It ia to belie human nature to suppose that with one taste of power the machine operators would not seek to perpetuate that power; their merit system would soon fall into disrepute. Bellamy's ditch dingers would always rmaln ditch-digger; a IVLeonlts would always hold bis hand outo the throttle of the machine, for, yea, thee many generations. Kvery state socialist orgsnisatlon Is today a fair example of tins fact. In theory it Is tbe dream of elysium; in real Ity It is the debasement of the luU-IU-o-tual to the brute nature; Its votaries would exchange tbe blw-inge ol liberty for tbs cures ol elavrry with a lull stom ach guaranteedand the deiflcatiou ol lie l4Huiiu a a "chaser." The prveeut system ia not one over which to fall la eaiacW-eol delight, but rather would I accept It today, wtih all its lulloa of MMMibiliti4 ol a H'Mtar's ('lame," and break a trust with thee, 0 liberty, thaa live off tbe tat ol the laat, wll-fed and Uk, it nitty , bat a tnoehiuis! auUmiaiou, doing Ibeever laaMeg lah t of state anialism.-A. 8, Uiuh ta AuM-rit'aa IVIwraUoalet.

If you do not wish to make a striped carpet, sew tbe rags hit or miss and have several colors in tbe chain, ar ranged in stripes, which will usually cost two cents lees per yard tor weaving and will be lees trouble to make. Faded cal ico, old sheets, pillow cases, etc., can be dyed blue, green, red and yellow with diamond dye forcotton and will brighten tbe carpet wonderfully. When the rags are torn and ready to sew, they may be put lu a cover to keep out tbe dust, and will be ready to sew whenever you wish, Many boueekeepers bavs spare moments which they delight to employ in this work, and they do not miss tbe time it takes. A rajr carpet party Is an eroloy- able affair, and as each lady wbo at tends tries to sew more rags than her neighbors the result Is very satiefactory, l'ieces of dress goods, such as ging ham, calico and percale should be saved until tbe dresses are worn out, for they re often useful for mending there; after that, they abould be kept with the quilt pieces. A separate box ia needed for woolen pieces, with plenty of moth balls scattered among tbern to keep them from tbe ravages of these pasta. Boll up all tbe pieces of one kind, tying them securely, and If they are needed when you wish to make the drees over, there will be no time lost in looking for tnem. Iron all tbe nieces of new linen that are large enough to be of any nee, and tie them in a bundle to themselves. Hare button bag bung in a convenient place cuttba buttons, hooks, and eyes from garments that arc worn out. and keep them in It. This will result in a consid erable saving lu a family during a year, for many housewives wbo would not tblnk of throwing a penny away, lose many pennies because they neglect to save buttons from worn out garments. A neighbor of mine found In sorting outtba contents of tbe attic, an old white Annuel skirt with m border of nilk embroidery around the lower edge.

ECONOMIC DISCUSSION, Editor Independents Ths article on socialism, written by Fred A. Allen of David City, la In my opinion tb best that I bav read in your paper in defence of that doctrine, and 1 cannot omit to pay blm a tribute of respect. I have often felt a temptation to offer some suggestion on tbat subject through your paper, but must confess my fear of not being an auie enougn writer to puo lish anything from my en. Mr. Allen bas In mv judgment explain ed the qui-stlon of "bow" a state of socialism could be brought about, as clearly and comprehensibly as can be done. However the Editor seems not satisfied and requests some cods of lawa for tb establishment of such a happy condition, notwithstanding tbat be has pointed ont a way. Mr. Allen says socialism must come through populism, otherwise he could not entertain tbe enthusiasm for its principles, be bas hitherto den. This is exactly my religion. You Mr. Editor roust certainly Dave an idea 01 "now" to i.pIikt tha nrlnnlnlaa. embodied in the Omaha platform, into action and should this ever be accomplished, which I most sincerely bop. W wilt tben bav the weapon of tbe vetoe power In our bands, meaning io tb hands of the people, by way 01 tne initiative ana iieierrenuum. This will make tbis government at one a progressive one; a government wbose capabilities are unlimited. Under tbe wy of those popular rights, our legis lature would be compelled to make sucb laws as a majority would demand, or repeat such laws which have become ob noxious by tb same demand. Tha nnt.lnn now ariaea. can anyone tell tbe poemble future outcome under euoh conditions? We might say with some surety that tbe general welfare till ha aftvannud Irnm the view that the majority can always be trusted; but In my bumble judgment lean not see how such a government can be limited by a 1 a la ol lawa or how the progress of pub lic opinions could be checked! Individu ally we may be able to guide them to some extent and tbat is all. I'opalism and Socialism means virto ill tha Mama.

A PIG IN A POKE Mr. Cornell won't suffer greanly in rep utation by reason of the Investigation by the legislative committee. Tbe worst thing tbat can be said against him Is tbat he didn't make Mr. Palm send bim tbe presents so freely promised, In tbis he shows a leek of firmness and executive ability. Mr. Palm waa always threatening to send blm a pig in a crate or a suit of clothes, or a wedding cake, or something, to abow tbat be was ap preciated, but tb goods were never t e livered. Had Mr. Cornell been a man ol action and of prompt judgment, lu would have written to Mr. Palm inviting blm to fish or cut bait There are peo pie so narrow minded as to argue t hat it would hav been Improper for Mr. Cornell to accept presents, but we can't see it tbat way. If the employe of the auditor' office had clubbed together and bought blm a gold-headed cane that be didn't need, and presented It to bim with a long rigmarole of speech making, no body would bavs objected al all; It ia a good deal wore to give a man a gold-beaded cans wrapped up In a speech than to sand him a red hog In a crate by rxprvse. We must learn to look at sucb things In ths light ol reason, without prejudice. Walt Mason. Patronize the Nebraska Independent's advertisers. CORRUPT TO THE CORE.
