Oh of March, at a quarter to threethe afternoon, the greatest livg thker ceased to thk.He had bee alone for scarcely o utes,and when we ca back we found hihis archair, peacefully goo sleep—but forever.

An iasurable loss has been staed both by the ilitant proletariat of Europe and Arica, and by historical sce,the death of this an.The gap that has bee by the departure of this ighty spirit will soon enough ake itself felt.

Jt as Dar disvered the w of developnt of aniature, so Marx disvered the w of developnt of huan history: the siple fact, hitherto ncealed by an rowth of ideology, that ankd t first of all eat, drk, have shelter and clothg, before itpursue politics, sce,art, religioc.,that therefore the produ of the idiate aterial ans of subsistend nsequently the degree of enoic developnt attaed by a given people or durg a given epoch for the foundation upon which the state stitutions, the legal ne versa, as had hitherto been the case.

But that is not all.Marx also disvered the special w of otion g the present-day capitalist ode of produ and the beois society that this ode of produ has created.The disvery of surps vae suddenly threw light on the proble,tryg to solve which all previo vestigations, of both beois enoists and socialist critics, had been gropgthe dark.

Two such disveries would be enough for one lifeti.Happy the an to who it is grao ake even one such disvery.Butevery sgle field which Marx vestigated—and he vestigated very any fields, none of the superficially— every field, eventhat of atheatics, he ade depe disveries.

Sue.However great the joy with whied quite another kd of joy when the disvery volved idiate revotiesdtry, andhistorical developntgeneral.For exaple, he followed closely the developnt of the disveries adethe field of electricity aly those of Marcel Deprez.

For Marx was before all else a revotionist.His real issionlife was to ntribute,one way or ao the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state stitutions which it had brought to beg, to ntribute to the liberation of the odern proletariat, which he was the first to ake nscio of its own position and its needs, nscio of the nditions of its eancipation.Fightg was his elent.And he fought with a passion, a tenacity and a suess such as few uld rival.His work on the first Rheische Zeitung （1842），the Paris Vorwarts （1844），the Deutsche Brüsseler Zeitung （1847），the Neue Rheische Zeitung （1848-1849），the New York Tribune （1852-1861），andaddition to these a host of ilitant paphlets, workanizationsParis, Brsels and London, and fally, g all, the foration of the great Iional W Men’s Association—this was deed an achievent of which its founder ight well have been proud even if he had dohg else.

And, nsequently, Marx was the best hated and ost iated an of his ti.Governnts, both absotist and republi, deported hi fro their territories.Beois, whether ive or ultra-deocratiessity pelled hi.And he died beloved, revered and ourned by illions of revotionary fellow workers— fro the es of Siberia to California,all parts of Europe and Arid I ake bold to say that though he ay have had any oppos he had hardly one personal eney.

His na will ehrough the ages, and so also will his work.
