About Some Great Problems.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Is this world, this material world itself, advancing towards such an era of transfor nation as shall fitly prepare it for an i'm mortal abode, the heaven of the souls and spiritualized bodies of our race; of all who through the life and death trials of their mortal state have really lived in the faith and hope of the better life beyond? Our pro phetic scriptures, and especially the apostolic teachings of our New Testament, do plainly tell us of new earth, and blessedness is pronounced for those who shall inherit it. Some interpreters will say that such teach ings may refer to 8 condition of things while the reign of death continues here, that though generation after generation of man. kind will die even in this worlds best era yet the race will always live on the earth, though it be so that the mortal condition of every generation shall continue. Such a doctrine, however, seems to me to contradict the true meaning of things and of the prophetic word and is probably accepted chiefly because men are hostile to changes which are difficult or impossible for them to explain. But there are uncounted truths which men cannot explain. Why, men cannot clearly explain the fact of their own existence. The true inwardness of life itself-t' life of either man or animal or plant is as much of mystery to man as it is even to the animal or plant. There is indeed Gas we measure things) good deal that men may know which they don't yet know though they must forever have Limitations. We can believe. Thank God for faith. Mans absolute knowledge is, and must be (and probably ought to be), so limited that he is worth nothing for another world, and nothing for this either, without faith. Enough said for the present, except that you may print the foregoing lines if you think they will do. A.

FEWER SESSIONS,

oA.ASS@OANSe
 The Committee on Constitutional Amend ments has made up it's mind that the Legis- lature ought not to meet as often as it has, and has reported in favor of General Bradley s bill providing for biennial sessions. Possi- ply its experience of the present session has led it to this conclusion. It certainly might have gone further in it's search for arguments and fared worse. In 8 former article we said that the State suffered from overlegislation rather than too little of it. But ver-legisla- tion cannot be laid to the charge of the pres ent Assembly. Its sins are all of omission, rather than commission. The members have originated little important legislation of their own and have been fer the most part vigorously employed in rejecting what has been suggested from outside. We scarcely remember session that has accomplished less than the present one In fact, about the only reason there has been for holding the session at all is because the Constitution requires it. If the Legislature had met and passed the constitutional amendment providing for bi- ennial sessions and then voted to adjourn it would have done two very excellent things Moreover it would have saved good deal of expense and the poor, overworked lobby could have had a holiday, or taken up some honest business just for change.
 The Legislature should meet often enough to do the needed work. We have never heard it seriously claimed that the really necessary legislation required a session every year. The fact is, the State isn't pining for legislation at present. It could live good while on the stock on hand without being sensible of any inconvenience. We do not know of any reason why the an- nual sessions should be continued unless it be that the honor of representing the people will not go around quite so fast among the party workers. Of course 1t is the merest platitude to say that the Legislature ought not to be run as a mere part of party ma chinery. It should meet to do the honest work of legislation, and that does not require annual sessions. If it does tell us why.

MT. E. T. Craig, the venerable champion of cooperation in England, has just issued an interesting address in answer to an invita- ton to attend public meeting to promote co operation in Chelsea. A part of what he says is well worth the attention of laborers in this country. More than fifty years ago, says Mir. Craig, I saw the terrible tendencies of the prevailing competitive system, in the vast distractions of profits out of labor for the formation of immense masses of capital in the hands of masters, so that those who produced nothing became enormously rich, while those who produced everything became poor, capital taking all the blessings of wealth and civilization, while leaving little to the la borer beyond toll, poverty and the work house. One great cause of the vast misery of the working classes appeared to me to arise out of lack of knowledge of one or two simple principles. To stand alone is to be- come the prey of all other classes of society, which abstracts profit from the consumer out of everything he eats, every article he wears, and as rent for ev- cry miserable room he occupies so that he becomes the victim to poverty dis ease, and premature grave. By the adop- ton of combined action in mutual co-opera- ton with his fellow-workmen every man might save 10 per cent. profits out of all he expends and by combined action all the divi- dends would soon raise capital amounting to many millions year. The great future of the working classes lies in thus combining to secure all the profits of work, trade, manu- features, and the possession of houses and lands To realize these results workingmen must become intelligent co operators. It is to be regretted that at the present day they dissipate their dividends instead of combining them. They might rule the world of profits, and make the earth full of abundance, plenty, peace and happiness.

Eight years ago it was estimated that the total cost of the Capitol at Albany would be eight millions.

The New York Legislature did well in killing libel bill which would have been prolific of Injustice to newspapers. It will also do well in passing bill now before it which provides that the complaint of criminal libel must be accompanied by a bond with adequate sureties, to secure the defendant newspaper it's reasonable expenses in case the libel is not proved. Due exception is made of public officers who may be called upon to prosecute criminal offences. Ire sponsible persons would thus be hindered from malicious proceedings.

Seabright, New Jersey, is just now agitat ed by controversy about ''the indifferent things but the discussion is not conducted as politely as was the one lately carried on in this community. Rev. P. Hall Packer, who is the editor of the Seabright Sentinel, warned his readers to avoid bathrooms, and some of his young readers were very indig- nant. Soon afterward MT. Packard received 8 scurriIous circular, signed Indignant Citi- zens,' and copy of it was sent to every prominent person in the locality. There are evidently some persons in Seabright who cannot receive much harm from dancing.
 William Joest, German traveller who has been in all the accessible countries of the world, tells rather startling tale concerning traffic in German girls. He says that he has found an organized and widely extended traffic in these girls, who are consigned to 8 condition hardly better than that of slaves. They are sent from Hamburg, which seems to be the main shipping point, to the coun- tries of South America, both on the Atlantic and Pacific coast, to China, the West Indies, Central America, Mexico, and the United States. Joest found such girls in Alexandria, Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai. There were none in the Dutch colonies of Asia, Holland not per- hitting their introduction. Joest states that he has evidence that a large number oI agents and travelling drummers are employed in this traffic, and that it is well known to many of the German consuls abroad.
