SOCIALISTS AND WORKING-MEN-AN ARTIST ON THE WARPATH.

G, W. Smalley's cable special to the Now York "Tribune" from London, of August ISth, says : Socialistic finances are cleat 1> low. Williams, one of the leaders of this interesting body, haa gone to priion for two months because he was unable topiy a fine of £2S for the obstruction of a public highway by holding a Socialise meeting Mihwarning, another Socialist, convicted on the same charge, was allowed till Thursday week to raise money. Hyndmann publisher the usual protest against the unfairness of these sontencos, and coropiains that Socialistic meetings are interfered with. He discloses the rather remarkable fact that tha owners of public halls uminirooiuly refuse to let them for Socialistic meeting., though offered money, with a guaranty agaiust damage Hyndmann has boen sued for libel by the owner and agents of a Welsh mino, whom he accused of conduct similar to that talsely imputed to Wateiio, who was murdered by tho Decazville miners This suit ia likely to terminate hia public oaveer.
