But I had the pleasure, a week later, of reprinting from _Justice_ a sensible paragraph, condemning the advocacy of violence so long as free agitation was allowed.
The spring was marked by two events on which I have not time or space to dwell--the resignation by Mr.Bradlaugh of his seat, on the reiteration of the resolution of exclusion, and his triumphant return for the fourth time by an increased majority, a vote of 4,032, a higher poll than that of the general election; and the release of Mr.
Foote, on February 25th, from Holloway, whence he was escorted by a procession a quarter of a mile in length.

On the 12th of March he and his fellow-prisoners received a magnificent reception and were presented with valuable testimonials at the Hall of Science.
Taking up again the thread of Socialism, the great debate in St.
James's Hall, London, between Mr.Bradlaugh and Mr.Hyndman on April 17th, roused me to a serious study of the questions raised.

Socialism has in England no more devoted, no more self-sacrificing advocate than Henry Hyndman.

A man of wide and deep reading, wielding most ably a singularly fascinating pen, with talents that would have made him wealthy in any career he adopted, he has sacrificed himself without a murmur to the people's cause.

He has borne obloquy from without, suspicion and unkindness from those he served, and surrounded by temptations to betray the people, he has never swerved from his integrity.
