Although secular newspaper" are talked o.
the writer cannot but be aware that there is but one
paper in our City TO which his denunciation applies
and that is The TRlBuSE And though he has not
chosen to make his attack direct and manly we lay
it entire before our readers that they may judge
how deserved are ts imputalions, and govern them
selves accordingly If our journal Is OF so hcen'
tious and corruptng tendency as ne asserts the
fact should be known to, though not already OBJ
served by the readers Of The Tribune rather 'han
those Of the Observer.
Our assailant does not charge tina, our columns
are filed with glowing invitations to or pulls OF the
aires groggeres or any thing of that nature nor do
the journals which are so filed in for share
of his denunciation He does not object that we
oppose, riaicule treat with cold neglect the e''
forts of the pure and vrtuous to subject the Seducef
and Adulterer TO punishment for their crimes nor
does he complain Of the journals which do openly or
,ac,ly resist those efforts He does not charge that
we oppose the struggle now in progress TO extend
to our city the operation Of the law securing 10 ev
cry other city and township in the Stale the right to
Danish the quer traffic from their borders, whenever
thew NAV see fit to do so. All these efforts he must
consider either mistaken or OF small account since
he exhorts his readers TO stop The Tribune and re-
sort TO some other journal for their daily informa-
,ion and other in the city maintains on all these
questions the open Incorporating position OF ours.
But Socialism and the modern Foureries
are the objects of his paramount if not exclusive
loathing. The idea that families may be associated
in domestic life exctes alarm and adherence In his
mind And not exactly their association, either i;
for that exists ia nearly every Christian as we'll as
pagan household above the poorest class throughout
our City and the land The master and mistress
with their children are homogeneous; but the oster
and chambermaid are raw recruits from Ireland ;
the waters and laundress are Of Congo blood and
hue the cook is French, the nurse English, &c.-
motley gathering from all parts OF the world often
constituting the household OF the most exemplary
and respected of our citizens-some going and en-
tire strangers coming in 10 take their places every
month or two No voice Of pious warning or de-
nunciaton is lifted up against such households as
innately and inevitably depravcd or licentious
They are hallowed by the blessed influences OF mas
terry and servi,ude-the few faring sumpiuously and
living idly the larger number forming an inferior
and servie caste mnistering to the convenience OF
their betters Against this Social arrangement no
sermons are preached, no Observers or Evangelists
launch their thunders 1t is not pronounced even
an organic sin, whatever that may be. But lei
the thought be uttered that Equality in respect in
obligation in opportunity should be the law OF an
extensive household drawn together not by the
power OF Gold on the one side and of hard Neces
sity on the other, but by congeniality of sentiment
by common sympathies and aims-that Combined
Household is possible in which shall be lords
and none serfs none idle and none overworked
none living wholly for others convenience and none
wholly for their own pleasure-and nor the cry
inidel, corruption, pestilent and licentous sys
tenn &c &c is shrieked in every ear, and there are
some ready to be gulled by it. Perhaps ii will be
different in the year 1900.
