THE wORKINGMEN.

n Neso Assoctatton Formed Last Evening.
There was very large and. spirited
meeting of workingmen at Turner Hall
last night, which resulted in the new or
ganization enrolling about 200 names, to
be known as the General, Political, So
cial Workingmen's Society Of Cincinnati.
Mr.. e. Hoffman was chosen President
Of the meeting, 4. Rosa. Vice President,
and G. Schiff Secretary.
Mr.. Rosa addressed the meeting, speak,
ing or the capital of the country as
aiming to put the labor in bonds. Urg-
ing the laborers to unite and make. y
strong and determined resistance to this
invasion Of their rights by the capitalists
and bondholders Of the country.
Mr.. Rosa then attacked rather severely
Mr.. Hassaurek, whom, at one time, the
Germans thought to be their leader In
this movement, since, In 1854, he had
organized labor reform party and
Freedman's Society. But since this
time he claimed Mr.. Hassaurek had for
saken the party going over to the enemy.
The speaker here referred to the progress
Of labor reform in Europe, expressing
astonishment that even in monarchical
countries the labOrer should suffer less
from oppression than In this, our great
Republic.
The laborers, he said, should organize
and refrain from voting until strong
enough to elect their own candidates, OF
at leas t,pntil some one Of our many po-
litical parties should show an inclina-
tion to protect their interests.
Mr.. John Simmer, os New York, then
followed at some LENGTH stating that at
the outset in Europe people at the head
of this movement had been branded as
demagogues, ana that even up to the
death OF Lascelles their movement had
been looked uponas failure. Buttruth
was victorious, and in the natural course
of years the statesmen Of Europe, and
| especially OF Germany, had begun to re-
gard this as the leading question:.
They saw the urgency and the neces-
sity OF the question, and to-day the most
profound and influential thinkers of the
world were at the head OF the movement.
The great misfortune Of this country he
thought was that but few intellectual
and influential men are following this
movement, else the Labor party would
be dominant in America to-day. He had
not, however, lost faith in our statesmen,
and sooner or later they would be conn.,
PEELED to give .their attention to the
question.
The meeting then adopted platform
for organization, the main points of
which are equal rights, freedom OF
against monopolies, for the eight-hour
system, for common free education,
against children's labor in factories, for
taxation of bonds and obligations, in
favor of an income tax, and against a
tax ON necessaries of lite. The platform
was unanimously adopted, after which
the meeting adjourned.

Three Children Of one Family Killed in Half an

Hour.
Mr.. Alden informs us that family re-
siding in the western part of Richland
county lost three children OF five years
of age and under, last week. The oldest,
about five years, and her younger brother,
found hens nest under barn, and
reaching her hand under to get the eggs,
she was bitten by huge rattlesnake
twice in the hand. With scream she
withdrew her hand, when the brave lit
tie fellow said he wasn't afraid of the
old hen picking him, and put his little
hand In and received the thrust OF the
rattlesnake's fangs. The mother hearing
the screams Of the children, set down on
the floor a boiler of hot water and hast
ened to their rescue, which from their
screams and cries for help she knew
were in danger, and to her horror found
both fatally bitten by the reptile, which
had taken possession of the hens nest.
She seized her little ones in her arms
and ran to the house, and on entering
what q horror met her gael Her babe
had fallen into the boiling water! We
have not all the particulars, but are in>
formed that in less than half an hour
death relieved the three children from
their terrible sutferings.- Viroqua Wis. y

Disappointed Homes.

The political arithmetic men, who
were in such hot haste to prepare the
public for an enormous increase in our
city's population as the result of the re-
cent census farce, have come to grief.
The figures which we were told would
foot up anywhere from 1900, 900 to1, ,50o,-
900, are now reported, and, just as we
predicted month or two ago, they fail
to reach ], loo, 900 and show an increase
OF less than 100, 900 on the census returns
OF 1870. The changes of the past five
years In our population, as indicated by
a comparison between the so-called CEN
sus Of 1875 and the governmental EMU
meration of 1870, are not remarkable as
a whole.
It is only in a very few localities that
these changes are specially noticeable.
For example, only five city wards exh;:-
bit decrease In population during the
five years. The other nineteen wards
report an aggregate increase OF 9S,26I, OF
which 40 per cent. (39, 1867 has taken
place In the Nineteenth wara alone. The
Twenty-secOnd ward shows all increase
of 49, 020, and the Twelfth ward IL, 4p9--
the three wards together reporting an
increase on their population in 1870 Of
63,544 or nearly So per cent. of the total
increase Of the city's population. OF
course this is easily accounted for by
the location Of these three wards and the
relation they bear geographically to the
