If There is a Differ ence We Know it Not Yoa, wo are Illiterate nnd unrond in regard to tho doings nnd claims of socialism. Years ago wo mode a , fairly close study of tho prlnclplts land wero tholr opponents and car which soomod to us to bo a sort , rlod off tho honors three to ono. Tin of a gold brick proposition for tho: luborlng man and overy now cam paign thoro wore new dolngH and now sayings but so far ns wo woro ablo to lonrn thoro hnsbcen nothing accomplished to hotter tho condition of tho laborer. That "little dinky remnant" that our food frlond talks about did manago to pull off a mur der or two In orthodox Kuroponn stylo. Wo aro too Ignorant to know tho difference botweon tho socialist In the "groafinovemont and thoso of tho "Ilttlo dinky" class.nll coons look alike to ua, and really whllo thu "groat social movement" clalnm to embraco tho wholo world, on tho con tinent of Europo, tho only conclusion we can como to U that thoy aro all ono, that tho frisky gentleman In tho territory of tho Czar, who Is wasting nil his Fourth of July amunl (Ion to try to annihilate tho ruling class, and tho Ilttlo dinky" class who are practlc lug on a smaller, but apparently Just as effectlvo scale are all so closely allied that to stand up and "differentiate" Is a puzzle to our most eminent statesmen,, there fore our friend does well to forglvo us. Wo know nothing of any bloom ing conspiracy, and think It Is all the Imaginings of a fevered mind (po lltlcally 8poaklng)but that the papers of-the whole country as a class think they are doing tho best they can for their country's good, the greatest goot to tho greatest number.Wo aro char! table enough to think oven tho Ap peal to Reason and Wilshlre's publi. cation have this for their ambition, but how thoy take some of the do ings that are to bo attributed to the Boclallatsand harmonize it with the ambition of a good newspaper Is a conundrum to ust We know thero are some of the best people wq have in the land In theranks of the socialists and somo of the blackest criminals who disgrace our country We do not think for a moment that any party or class of people has a monopoly on the goodness ofthls world, not even the churches. Wo dc think the socialist's ethical reasoning la very lame. Ttat be is as unjust as Is the monopolist who would put aim to tho very limit of his energy that he might turn bis very blood in to gold. Our old parties are largely res ponsible for the socialist party. There would have been no excuse for it if they had butdone the right thlnj by the laboring class, but they would Rot and now they are trying, when it and Much to be Lost by In other words, wo think It would ho money In our pockets to lose tin city business If by so doing wo could keep tho city of St. Johns In .t scpa.

This wilt be particularly truo of thoso "who novo largo property Interests. Tho taxes will bo lower In St. John next year than they aro InPorMnnd, inonoy for tho big city to pay Inter, ost upon than they hnvo this vear. Our citizens need to look well 'o both sides of tho question beforo they vote themselves Into Portlnnd, for on in thero now, It will be different from what It was tho other time, for they cannot got out again If It does nut suit them, St. Johns.

Need More Practice and Better Team Work Tho flro laddloi mot their second grand dofoat ot tho local ball ground. Sunday. Tho Qold Seal club of Port- local boys showed a woeful lack of practice nnd team work and tho result wns nothing more than could bo oxpocted. Tho boy wondor who oponod tho season for tho Alblna Tri City club was on tho ground for tho Qold fionl lnds, and Ida delivery was too many for tho flro eaters. Ray mond Leo and Ray Poff took care of tho delivery ond of tho buslnoss for St. Johns, but their poor support, wlldncsa and tho heavy batting qual. quttlcs of tho visitors allowed tho score to crawl up against thcin In an alarming mannor. With a Ilttlo prae tlco and an early start In the sea son tho flro department could put up a toam that would rank with tho host of them. Is qulto lata In tho day for thoy may wall sit up and take notice, Tho growth of tho socialist party, which no doubt Includes in tho figures the "Ilttlo dinky" party that has the convict for its bead but since tho socialists did not make tho figures for tho government, thoy havo the right to ropudlato thoso "Ilttlo dinky" party.ls rapid, the government statis tic read something llko this; 'In 1888 they cast only 2000 votes; in 11000 it bad swelled to IOO.OOOjIii 1902 it rose to 220,762; In 1901 It reached noarly 450,000; in tho last four yoars tho number of dues-paying members has more than doubled again, and It seems probable that tho vote will bo c'ose to a million this fall, Tho old parties would do well to quit cutting their own throats now and do something for tho people bo Alio the socialists gain control of tho legislative halls. If they do not they vJll have but themselves to blMne wlen red revolution takes the placo .f peace and prosperity.
