THE NEW BoAhp or HAALTH has
issued several important circulars
which have appeared In the GAZETTE
and should be carefully read and
strictly followed by our citizens.
Every one should unite and give the
Board all assistance in securing and
good health for the city.
There is no occasion for any alarm at
the small number Of small pox cases
that have appeared here. But the
health Of the city and Its freedom from
other diseases require attention. The
city has always been considered among
the most healthful In the country, and
still enjoys that reputation. Let us

In the first place we make

liable to come back If the

emoafners over the political suicides of
the Nsw York Senators. No Demo-
erals dispute their right to commit
harikari, since they did not embsrrass

fair criticism Of the reasons assigned
by Messrs, Conkling and Platt in their
joint letter, has been made by our
1estssmed contemporary, the Philadel-
phia Press, and we transfer 1t 60 the
GAZETTE that its readers may see how
ths letters are viewed from Q Repub-
Mean standpoint. We may add that
itisa most singular thing that Mr..
iconkhng should resign because the
President will not give him the con-
troll OF the governments patronage that
hs may bestow it upon his friends to
the disadvantage of the Presidents
friends, when in fact the patronage
belongs to the Presidential Office.
President Grant loaned whole rsgi-
ments Of soldiers to Chamberlain, of
8. G., and Kellogg, of La, and no
doubt gave Conkling all he asked for,
because he was his friend but that
- ne reason why Garfield should re-
fuse to reward his friends and permit
Conkling to take the Offices and be-
stow them upou the enemies of Gar
field and his administration. We hope
Garfield win be the President of the
whole country and it 10 IN that view
that the GAZETTE believes and has
said that he was more nearly right
while CoAkling was more clearly
wrong, He is extreme in his States
rights views, demanding even TO be-
stow the government patronage where
he finds it win pay hirn best.

The Evening critic. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1881-1885, 1881-10-25

Last evening IN shelden's Hall, Henry
Il. Sharpe, of New York city, President OF
the Cooperative Brotherhood, addressed an
audience of ladies and gentlemen, who ha d
assembled to hear him explain tho princi-
pies and plans of "Thc Integral Corpora
tors" body of social rcforncrs, whose
headquarters are in New York city. Mr..
Sharpe said that the time had come when
the organization of q higher form of civil
ization was not only practicable but imper-
ativcly necessary. In the existing civiliza-
ton there Is too much waste of force, too
much want of opportunity, and the incen-
tivcs are barbaric. being those.of war and not
ofpeacc; men still prey upon one another,
and must do so to make living. The In
tcgral Co-opcrators believe that society
can be 50 constructed that its members will
live for and not upon, each other. This
differs from all previous attempts at social
reform, inasmuch as IL is integral, and yet
does not undertake to force its methods
upon any one. Establishing miniature
republic, which they style the Free Re-
public, perfect in all its details, containing
the germs of all institutions necessary to n
full grown republic, they contend there
will be natural gravitation to that re-
public of all those attracted by its prlnci-
pies, that then IL will grow continuously,
and If founded on correct principles, wisely
administered, 1t will ultimately take the
place Of old civilization, and meantime be n
refuge for all those who, tired of the base,
the hollow, the untrue" earnestly desire to
lead just and industrious lives.
The Brotherhood has secured an estate in
Southwestern Missouri, upon which a
beginning will ut once be made of a village.
on the plans of the Brotherhood, which are
described in pamphlet distributed free,
entitled "What Might Be-" which can he
