WHAT LIBERTY WANTS.
 It is worth while occasionally to take mo- t1oe of what is going on in circles whose members are opposed to the established order of things, and who only want power and op- portunity to upset that order. People who do not see the organs of the 'sreformers'' as they style themselves, do not realize what ideas have gained foothold in this land of the free, or how earnestly those ideas are ad- vocated.
 One of the most notable of recent utter ances of the kind to which we refer appeared ;n Liberty, paper published in staid and re- spectab1e old Boston. The article declares boldly for anarchy. It denies the right of the majority to make laws for the govern ment of the minority, and declares that all law is tyranny, and all capital briga ndage. It declares that the first duty of the revolution ists of the nineteenth century will be to make an auto dot of all existing laws, as they will of property titles. It demands the abolition of the ballot box, saying: ''The very swindle that alone makes the poverty and degradation of labor possible is held up for adoration and glorihcation in the very house of humanity's friends. It is this very ballot box itself that only needs to be rolled off the neck of labor in order to put it into the arena of fair fight with the oppressor. All those grievances of which the reformers complain were born in the very principle of despotism which creates the ballot box and perpetuates it. The ballot box itself as an accepted assertion of the right of majority to rule minority, is the very despot that must first be cast out and buried. There is where the reformers still toddle in the very infancy of true reform'' We are further told that study of the An archistic philosophy, as developed by ''the great" Proudhon and actively propagated by ''the heroic" Bakounine and his successors on both sides of the Atlantic, would open g whole Armament of light to the infatuated champions of the ballot box, and Liberts proposes to fling it's reminders in the face o1 the deluded reformers till they shall be made one after the other, to halt and look square ly at the root of despotism. ''From the An archistic, the only logical point of depar ture, the ballot box craze will soon become the silliest surrender of common sense imag inable''
 Liberty is in favor of abolishing all fed era1, State and municipal authority, all righti of property, all law. It is not content with Socialism, but advocates anarchy. It says ''The State, in it's very nature, is compuZ soay institution whose real purposes (whatev CT it's pretensions), are offence and invasion an institution to which all are forced to be long and which all are compelled to support
 Fortunately for the country there afe not many ''reformers'' here who subscribe to the doctrines set forth by Li6e1ty but there art enough to cause an unpleasant thought now and then. When "hard times' come agair we shall hear more about them than we dt

The Zulu Cetewayo has his own idea of the newspaper business He has thus defined it When asked why people were anxious to have things which seemed so worthless the wise men that are with us answered with many words. And from what they told me I believe that these sheets of paper are made by men that are wonder workers, like the witch doctors in our own land, and that these are their spells. For these men are very powerful among the English, and the chiefs of the English listen to their words and fear them and pay court to them, though they are neither great warriors nor Indians, nor chiefs such as we saw in that Assembly. But, for all that, they very wise, for they know not only what has happened, but what is going to happen, and tell the English what they are to do at all times. And they pro- nounce blessings and curses as seems good in their own eyes, And if, indeed, they all agreed to bless and to curse, no man could lift up the heel against them. For when they all bless one man at one time, he grows fat and has much wealth and honor, and he whom they all curse is withered up. But there is jealousy among the witch. doctors and they will not agree with one another and the great chiefs encourage it, for each seeks by blandishments to win over as many of them as he can, that he may bless him and curse his adversaries.

Fashion's Latest Follies-Playtng the
 Fiddle and Praying on a Rug the New
 Agontes in Gotham
 INew York Letter in the Cincinnati Enquirerl
 Two new idiosyncracles of fashionable life are to play the fiddle and pray on & rug. These two joys of New York young woman hood are somewhat dissimilar and must not mix them in description. First, then as to fiddling. It is not rare now to meet finely dressed woman carrying one of those black, coffin shaped boxes which formerly were lugged by professional musicians only She is on her way to or from her violin les son. Pretty soon, if not already, she will stand up before the guests in her papa's par Tor, tuck one end of fiddle between her chin and breast and proceed to torture the company's while delighting their eyes. However horrible may be the noise produced she will look well during the process of making it-and that is some comfort, at least to herself. There is something masculine about fiddle, and therefore when a pretty woman plays it she gains somehow by the contrast. It is the same way with a cornet. Have you ever seen girl fairly blowing her life out through cornet without hating the pesky instrument and loving the dear tooter
 Now for the new idea in prayers, which is to do them on genuine prayer rugs from the East A Mohammedan, you know, never travels without one. They are usually about three by four feet in size and can be distin- guished by the design, which always repre- sents some large hgure at one end ana polut- ed at the other. Places are indicated for the hands and knees. The truly good son of the Prophet spreads out his mat several times a day bares his feet, kneels with his face to- | wards Mecca inclines himself forward until his face touches the rug, and then let's go his l prayer.

 facing Mecca, pumping their heads on the | floor or removing their shoes and stock

Bishop Huntington declares that the "task of lifs'' is fearfully aggravated throughout the Connecticut Valley by malaria. ''Labor- ing men," he says in the Congregationalist,
 ''are disabled about half of their time.
 Hard working women, needing every ounce of their strength and every hour of the week, are prostrated. Children are interrupted at school and become objects of anxious care at home. The household economy is sorely strained. Spirits are depressed. In some instances important branches of industry are embarrassed, enterprises are checked, busi- ness engagements are broken, temper and patience are tried. The moral atmosphere is disturbed with the physical" The Bishop is hopeful that the nature of malaria will soon be determined exactly and remedies provided. He is inclined to accept the theo- ry that the disease germinates in the human body from very minute spores. Assuming that the spread in that region may be due to mill dams, with their frequent exposures of damp ground and decaying debris he says :

The Local Election.

EDITOR TRANsoRIPT The enforced econ
omy of the times should compel a careful Sc
lection of two Town Commissioners to fill
the places of the two worthy officials whose
term expires on Monday next. Considering
the plentitudes of extraordinary demand
upon the Town Treasury in the past year,
all questions are alive and likely to be forced
through but none seem so certain as the
pump arrangement for protection against
fire (ostensibly) but in reality for street
sprinkling purposes. This expense should
never come against the whole taxable prop
erty, as three-fourths of the persons resident
here will derive no benefit from the outlay.
If enough real estate owners request the
Commissioners to proceed, and will obligate
themselves to take enough water at rate
which will pay the expense, the Commission
ers should 90 on with the matter, but they
should surely see that the water-works viii
be selfsustaining. All towns, cities, etc.

RACES upon defenseless white women
would speedily follow, and the predic-
tions were well founded. The outrage
is one Of the most nefarious of its kind
ever committed in this State, and that
its perpetrator was not promptly strung
M on limb Of some handy tree to kick
at indefinite space, speaks strongly for
the forbearance of Odessa people, and
proves that they have not lost all faith
in the courts of their State. The evi-
dence against Redden seems overwhelm-
ingly conclusive, and he will doubtless
be promptly tried, convicted and exc
cuted. Should his neck be saved by
such means as were resorted to in the
case Of the negro Neal, no remedy will
be left the people for the protection Of
their wives and daughters but resort
