"FREE-LOVE."

Gan Orthodox Episcopalian" writes us 70 cay 'ua,
he. While hostile to the "Free-LOve theory and
inVse Co,0,r,.orv Morality" in regard to sexual
relations He holds that the State has no right to pun
~ ncoo,nence except where the weaker party is the
tbe community This is the substance of his letter.
which we don't regard as orthodox in any sense-cer-
taiDlv not in the eye of common sense. We hold
ADULTERY crime per weakening the bonds of So
eie,y and filing the earth with jealousy distrust de-
morale alton and misery. And we believe the great
BODY of our fellow citizens think so too. If our cor
,espoadent thinks otherwise, let him undertake TO
collect signatures to petition for the repeal Of our
presen. law making Adultery a crime against the
Stste-nOt merely against The wronged husband or
wife, OF the burdened township. Our correspondent
forgets to send bis name.
Mr.. Lewis W. Ryckman proposes TO discuss pub
cly the "FreeLove' doctrine and show its absurdi-
ty and mischief il any of its advocates see t to meet
him on the question We have not room for bis letter,
but this is the gist Of it.

more searching sarcasm on the hypocntes OF today
than any Tarufe MOiere ever imagined. When has
America feen performances so pure in art 30 histor.

OPENING OF CHAMBERs STREET.

The committee on streets of the board OF aldermen,
to whom was referred the matter deepening Chambers
street held another meeting yesterday afternoon in
the City hall 10 hear arguments OF property'hoders
for or sgainst the projected Improvement.
Fx-Judee BEEBE first addressed the committee 10
favor of the extension by the james slip roate. lie
said the object was 10 open thoroughfare when
shall afford an avenue from uver 10 rver, ana con-
tended that such an improvement would be exceed
iney desirable. One route was proposed 10 terminate
AZ Catharine street and another a, James sup. ioe
Catherine street route, every one knew, YOU'D De
the Longest the james slip route would then oe more
desirable as il is shorter, more direct not encun
bered with market and has wider mouth 10 &C.
commodate the immense amount oil business uf
would pass through the lew street. Ere long Caam-
hers street Is destined 10 be sg the great thorolgh
fares of the city, IL is fss, becoming great business
street and already it is graced with numerous cosby
and magI ifcent warehouses The proposed opening
by Catharne street would, be said, destroy large
amount Of property, and leave many Of the ots aoog
the route very small and unfit for large stores lie
coptended that the Jsmesshp route would De the least
EXPENSIVE and II would purify one OF the hitliesl
sections of the city. Csthane market should not De
disturbed for il is an old Landmark and as such should
be yenersted. The property on the Cathan1e sIeet
route was now quite valuable, and nsd business
enough. If not too much. BY taking the james 81
route less valuable buildings would oe oon -
nt;tjons in favor OF it. representing $50 600 worth OF
property could be had. The speaker continued ~
some length. warmly advocating the james slip route
as the shorter and less expensive OF the two.

of the Cathaiine street. The Jsmes-slp route was
advocated he said mostly by property holders ives,
of Chatham street and who were not really as mneh
interested as those on the Cathance-sest route: me
Cathsrine street route was by lar superior 10 VIZ
Other and In his opinion il would cost less, beside I'M
proving both the Fourth and Seventh wards, both OF
which wards might then jointly pay the sssessI,eo.'
IL would not interfere with the Csthannesreee iey
and there would be ak angles less In the sts. 20
by the other route He thought that 1t would be I'M
possible for it to cost Ave hundred Thousand doss
more than the James clip route, a. Mr.. Beeoe mao rs
serted but even If it cd cost more, there wosid oe
property that could be ss:cs'sS .nese ms,se
