An association known as the "Anti-
Monopoly League" was organized in
Cooper Institute, New York, last week.
The meeting was merely a preliminary
one to start the organization, and another
and larger one will be held in short
time. It's purpose is to oppose the gi-
gantic mOnopolies that, by their man
agement of the railroads and telegraph
wires, are running trade and commerce.
The league will endeayor to secure laws
to prevent pooling and combinations and
discrimination against any citizen to
obtain railroad commissioners, laws
against watering stocks" against bri
berry and free passes, and finally laws
restricting the rights and powers of cor
porations. 1t is proposed to organize
State and county leagues throughout the
country, and to endeayor to force the
question prominently into politics.

INTERESTING SANITARY STATIsTICs.-
From q variety of sources we are get.
ting fresh proofs of the benefits accru-
ing to populous communities from the
greater attention paid to sanitary science
of late years. In Glasgow, Scotland, it
is officially reported that during the past
twelve years the death rate per thousand
persons Of that city has been reduced
nearly IL per cent, under the operation
of the sanitary measures instituted there.
In Edinburgh it has been reduced IA per
cent, and in Dundee 10. During the
same period, by the introduction of san
itary improvements in twelve leading
English towns there were sixtY.one
thousand fewer deaths between the years
1878 and 1878 inclusive, than there were
in the same cities between the years 1867
and 1872 In all the cities referred to
the improvement in the general health of
the people has been of the most marked
character, the great diminution in the
number of zymotic diseases being espe-
cially noticeable.

Railroad Building in the United

1t appears from the Railroad Gazette
annual statement of railroad cOnslruc,
ton during 1880 that the total mileage
was $50, which is greater than for any
year since 1872, when it was 2 $40, that
year being the elimination of a period
of great energy and enterprise. During
1880, Dakota must be credited with the
greatest activity GA niles in new enter

Ohio 500; Iowa is credited with 456,
Kansas 1868, Missouri 312, Nebraska 81

the previous railroad building era cul-
minated, only Texas, Iowa and Kansas
have built more railroad than Ohio, as

THE CATHOLIC CLERGY AND THE

clergy of the archdiocese of Boston held
a meeting at the Episcopal residence,

in Ireland and the position which might

assume. A committee was appointed,
which has prepared an address expires
sive of the feelings of His Grace the
Archbishop and the reverend clergy,
that assured to the Irish people theiI
moral and material support. The ad
dress Endorses the platform of principles
of the recent Land League Convention
at Buffal ). The paper promises sympa.
thy and co operation to all those who
are laboring in such just and righteous
cause as long as they are guided by
these principles. The address is signed
by John J. Williams, Archbishop OF
Boston; VIM. Byrne, Vicar General, and
the clergy of the various Catholic
churches. 1t will be followed imme-
diately by a contribution to the funds OF

The Irish Ladies' Land League As.

movement. A Central Land League

IN Dublin on Monday last. At the meet.
ing called for that purpose Miss Anna
Parnell, q sister of the Irish leader of
the League, presided, and made an ad-
dress explanatory Of the purposes of the
organization. A proclamation defining
those purposes is to be written and dis
tributed among the women of Ireland,
and another to the women of America
and other countries. The deep interest
taken in this peculiarly IIish question by
all members of the Parnell family is
well known, Mrs. Parnell, the mother Of
the agitator, an American by birth, and
resident of New Jersey, together with
her daughter. having frequently been
present at the meetings held in New
York by the American branch OF the
Land League. The public cooperation
of the women of Ireland in the Land
League movement will be crafty
ing to all who sympathize with
the objects of the association. These
are declared to be ''to alleviate
the distress and suffering which
must ensue from the vindictiveness and
rapacity of the landlords, from the
effect of the coercion acts, and from
wholesale evictions during the present
year" Such an organization, engaged
in such womanly duties, is capable of
accomplishing much good. While it
will necessarily act almost wholly, if not
entirely, outside of the rough and-tumble
of Irish politics, its tendency will be to
strengthen the determination of the male
members of the league to persist in their
demands. 1t will also give dignity to
the cause they have espoused, and may
help to put a check upon those acts of
lawlessness which the leaders have dis
avowed, and which, if continued, are
calculated to drive off many moderate
men who sympathize with the aspira-
tons of Irish people not only for a
thorough and radical change in the pres
ent system of land tenure. but also for
legislative independence.

From the York (Ra.l Daily. Fesruarss
NEW York, January %, 1s81.-Hon
C7tduncey r. Black: MI DEAR STR.-I
have received your letter notifying me
of my unanimous election as the first
honorary member of the Jefferson
Democratic Association of York. &C.
cept the distinction thus conferred in
order to testify my approval and COM
mendatiOn of the objects Of your asso-
citation. Thos. Jefferson has title to the
esteem and gratitude of the
American people even greater
than that which he derived from
being the author of the Declaration of
Independence, and from being the au-
thor of the statute of religious freedom
by the State of Virginia. During all the
bloody conflicts of the American revolu-
ton, and the civil struggles out of which
our system of government emerged; and
the controversies through which was
impressed upon it the character of a gov
eminent ''by the people, for the people, ]"
he was the apostle of human freedom,
and the greatest leader of that benefcent
philosophy which was embodied in our
institutions.
At time when powerful tendencies
are at work to subvert the original char
acter of our government-to break down
the limitations of power established by
the Constitutional centraliZe the action
and influence of Official authorities-to
create a governing class, using the
machinery of government as a corrupt
balance of power in the elections, and
then shaping legislation and admins
tration in the interests of the few
against the many-the precepts and
example of such a man as Mr.. Jefferson
cannot be too often invoked. The for
nation Of societies which can act as cen
tres of discussion, and as agencies for
the propagation of the pure principles of
the fathers of the republic, is a measure
capable of great service to the people
and to mankind.
With assurances of sympathy and
esteem, to the members Of your as
ISOLATION and to yourself, have the
honor to be, your fellow citizen,
