London, Sept. 86.—No doubt an account of the Trade Union congress, which was held at Swansea last week, has boon received in the United States. It is possible, however, that in view of the growing importance of the labor movement in the United States, and the last definite severance between men of the Henry George school and gonuine Socialists, a brief rfcview of the recent action of trade unions in Great Britain and a few remarks on the recent congress from a Socialist standpoint may be of interest to American readers.

Brooklyn, Sept. 25.—After the groat congregation had sung the long meter doxology in llie Bi-ooklyu Tabernacle this morning, Dr. T.iliuago expounded the sixth chapter of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, setting forlh tho importance of separation from bad fellowship, and saying that a man is no bettor than the company ho keeps. Professor Henry Eyro Brown played an organ solo. Sonata No. 1 in D minor by Guillmant The subject of tho sermon was "A Straight Up and Down Religion," and the text was Amos vii, 8, "And the Lord said unto me, Anion, whatsoest thou? and I said, a plumb line." Dr. Talmago said: St. Louis, Sept 3ft.—If the pastors of many of the city churches preached to ■mailer audiences than usual yesterday morning, and if there were a groat many ompty bonclios at the Sunday schools in the afternoon, it was solely because the people of St. Louis, both young and old, ware obeying the scriptural injunction to give welcome to the strangers that came within their gates. Right royal indeed, despite the proverbial sanctity of the day, was the reception accorded to the advance guard of the veteran ox-soldiers of tho republic, who crossed the big bridge between daylight and. dark. Huzzas (rem thousands of throats greeted them as they alighted from their trains, and tho march to thoir respective headquarters, under numberless arches and through miles of gayly decorated streets, was one continual ovation. It was a groat Sunday for St Louis and a memorable one for those of its guests who bad fought and bled that the Union might bo preserved. The men have shown remarkable generalship in this fight, and many things have oocurred to give them hope of success. The number of Hungarians and Italians who have left the regions will run up into the thousands. Of a colony of 500 at Slabtown, not one re mains, and the e*odus from other places has been largo. A regular' 'plan of campaign" has been adopted. Supply stores have been organised. Work is being secured for tho strikers outside the mines. More than 100 men have found employment on improvements making by the Diamond Water company in Hazleton. Representatives of the managing committee will be in tho Wyoming and Lackawanna districts early this week to solicit aid, and they have assnranco by mail that tbe responses will be general anil liberal. Advices from Philadelphia and New York are that dealers in the cofcl of'this region are making strenuous efforts to influence the operators to yield. Dr. Tanner, In response to the demands of the crowd, made a speech to them from the balcony of a hotel. Ha denounced in glowing language the Hitchellstown affray and Mr. O'Brien's trial.

The police attempted to disperse the crowd and chained upon them, and in the melee which ensued several persons were injured so badly that they had to be carried to the hospital.

M 89 What Is often overlooked is that the English trade unionists constitute but a small minority, not more than one-twelfth at the outside, of the total working class population of Great Britain. Yet this minority has been regarded for the last twenty or thirty yean as representative of tbe interests of the whole of the workers, though as a matter of fact during that period the unionists have become more and more apathetic, and have developed to a greater extent than ever be- Miss Horner is a well born, well bred English girl, and the history of her life is full of romance. She has devoted much of her time to the alleviation of human suffering, and from a home of luxury crossed the tea to enter the public hospital of Philadelphia to help make it a pleasant abode for tho noglected sick of a great city. The solid masonry of tho world has to me a fascination. Walk about some of the triumphal a relies and the cathedrals, 400 or GOO years old, and soo them stand as erect as when they wore builded, walls of groat height for centuries, not bending a quarter of an inch this way or that Bo greatly honored were the masons who builded these walls that they were free from taxation and called "free" masons. Tho trowel gets most of the credit for those buildings, and its clear ringing on stono and brick has sounded across the ages. But there is another implement of just as much importance as the trowel, and my test recognizes it. Bricklayer*, and stone masons, and carpenters, In the building of walls, uso an instrument made of a cord, at the end of which a lump of lead is fastened. They drop it over the side of tho wall, and as the plummet naturally seeks the center of gravity in the earth, the workman discovei-s where the wall recedes, and where it bulges out, and just what is the perpendicular. Our text represents God as standing on the wall of character, which the Israelites had built, and in that way measuring it. "And the Lord'said unto me, Amos, what aeest thout and I said, A plumb line." The league subsequently met in a private house where Mr. O'Brien, who had evaded the police, addressed tbe meeting. He said that Secretary Balfour had been notified that the league could not be suppressed until every decent man, and indeed, many decent women, were lodged in jail. "It is utterly impossible," exclaimed Mr. O'Brien, "to suppress the league, and England is powerless to prevent the continuation of our work. The question is a simple form of the rule of three," said he. "If it takes Plunkett's army and all his police to suppress one branoh of tbe league, and if they are as easily baffled as they were to-day, how many Plunkett's armies will it take to suppress 1,800 branches of the leagueP Mis Horner ia now about 80 yeara of age.

Tho clock In the city bail was striking 8 when it came to a full stop in the Union depot. There were thousands inside, and as many more outside. Seventeen of the boys In blue, forming the special escort to Governor Rusk, alighted from the forward car. Nine of them were minus an arm, flvo had but one leg apieoe, and two more were on crutches. Back of them appeared the towering form of the governor himself, and as the eighteen formed In, with Robert Chlvers' post, of Milwaukee, and its fife and drum corps at their head, it volume of cheers went up that fairly shook the structure. The ovation was repeated when the dolegates arrived in front of ,the Lindell, and three times threo was given by the occupants of the crowded lobby as the veterans marched through in single file.

The total time from Sydney to Liverpool will be reduced to twenty-eight days.  fore tbe bad racy of labor." Even where the rank and file of the societies were sound on labor questions, the paid secretaries and the leaders generally war* directly or indirectly influenced by members of the landlord and capitalist class of this or that shade of politics, with the result that the boldest middle class competitive economy of the Rlcardo- Chalmers-Malthusian type was generally accepted by the unionists as gospel. The teachings of the fine old Chartists, the men who forty years and more ago had stood up in England with arms in their hands against the shameful robberies and tyranny of our upper and middle classes, were completely forgotten. of an "aria toe- Kn amok in, Pa., Sept. 28.—An agreement haa been promulgated by the Union Coal company, by which ita miners will receive 8 per cent advance, and its laborers an advance of 15 per coat, together with other concessions, and the company's collieriea resumed to-day.

Knives and Plstola Used Over Cards In a Make Unsuccessful Attempts to Wreok Trains. Texaa Town. New York, Sept. 20.—The Manhattan Temperance association held a meeting at Cooper Union yesterday, which served the double purpose of welcoming Neal Dow and of greeting Dr. McOlynn. Mr. Dow spoke of prohibition in Maine, and sold that those who claimod that tho prohibition movement in that stato had failed knew nothing about the matter. Dr. McOlynn, in tho course of his remarks, said that the United Labor party and the Prohibition'sta were both working for the same end. They might differ aa to the means, but the ends were identical.

ViKCEifnks, Ind., Sept. 28.—Two recent attempts to wreck trains on the Cairo, Vinoennes and Chicago road have decided the company to employ detectives to watch the Willow Valley section of the road, as they believe danger to be imminent. A few nights ago a log was placed an the track between Shoals and Huron, but was discovered by the engineer of a passenger train just in time to avert what would have proved a terrible disaster. Saturday a similar attempt was made. As a passenger train was nearing a trestle work in the section named, Engineer Kapps notioed, when too late, an obstruction on the track and ran into it. Upon examination it was found to be a saw log as large in circumference as a flour barrel. The log was laid in such a place as to enable the engine to knock tt off. Over 100 people were on the train and felt considsrable alarm over their narrow escape. The miscreants who obstructed the track are not known. An attempt was also made to wreck an Ohio and Mississippi train near the same place recaitly, and there Is consequently considerable uneasiness.

The memory of Ernest Jones and George, Julian, Harney, of Harry Vincent, Stephens, Ball, Oastier, Lovett, Fergus O'Connor and Brouterre O'Brien had faded away. Seven or eight years ago affairs looked really quite hopeless for the workers, and it did sswn most unlikely that the Social Democrats—a name first used by Brouterre O'Brien more than fifty years ago to describe himself and his friends who would now be known as In the ladies' parlor a local commltteo was in waiting to welcome them.

With them ware a score of numbers of the Women's Relief corps. A thousand moro of the comrades from New York state will be here to-day. Ou the same train was a delegation of twenty from the oonventlon of the ex-prisoners of war held In Chicago last week, with G. W. Mcintosh, of that city, at its bead.

The Irish agitation has not been carried on for nothing. People slowly learned that the fight which was being fought in Ireland by the workers and the middle class against the landlords would have to be waged in England by the workers alone against both landlords and middle class. But they learned very slowly, and the shameful Liberal coercion acts In Ireland were supported by the trade unionists, who themselves had gained the right of free combination by the most violent means and by the most relentless secret despotism. Times were still pretty good for the artisan class here. They had got, or thought they had got, nearly all they wanted, and they could afford to be indifferent to the sufferings of the Irish peasants as well as to the misery of a large ssotion of their fellow toiler*, men and women. head in this island. ghot on the Geristn Frontier.

An Indian Outbreak Feared. A Startling Declaration. Tucson, A. T., Sept. 26.—There 1s still an uneasy and apprehensive feeling among old reeidents of Arisona, as many things tend to Mdtn the idea of an Indian outbreak. The Tad lens on Ban Carles reservation are restless and insolent, and have not planted their usual crops.

Miss Horner, together with Miss Alios Fisher, were engaged. They did such noble work that hundreds of ladies of influence, who never thought of it before, were led to take an interest in hospital work. The president's address at the recant labor congress was a distinct Socialist speech, vigorous and determined. It was received , with ringing cheers, especially his declaration1 as to the necessity for International action by the working classes. Manifest favor waa shown to an eight boor bill, followed up as it was by a —thing attack on Henry Broadbant, the secretary of the parliamentary committee and under secretary in Mr. Gladstone's late cabinet. To make a long story short, the Socialist party in the congress got practically the upper hand, and its members were so "bettered," to use the phrase of one of the delegates, that they dared not oppose an International Labor congress in London noxt year, which previously they had vehemently denounced, and it was carried unanimously I The majority at that congress will unquestionably consist of Social Democrats.

Thousands of years ago Solomon discovered the tendency of buyers to depreciate goods.

So utterly askew is society iu this matter that you seldom find * seller asking the price that bo expects to get. He puts on a higher value than he proposes to recolve, knowing that be will havo to drop. If he wants flfty, be asks seventyfive. And if be wants 2,000 he asks 2,500, "It is naught," loiUi thp buyer. "The fabric is defective; the style of goods is poor; lean get elsewhere a better article at a smaller price; it is out of fashion; it is damaged; it willfado; it will uot wear well."
