PATERSON, New Jersey. November o.
The political nightmare still browns
the voice of labor in New jersey as else
where. Idleness prevails in many of the
mills, and it is no exaggeration to say
that one-half the looms at least In Pater-
son bear traces of rust. In proof of this
we would inform your readers that an
other batch of German weavers have de-
parted within the last week for Europe.
The first meeting of the new legisla-
tive committee of the Federation of

was its producing cause. Blackstone
in his Commentaries says that "The true
and natural foundations of society are
the wants of individuals" But neither
he, nor any other rlwriter. down TO the
much-lau6ed Herbert Spencer, has evel
told us how to get a complete classified
ton of these wants. They looked wholls
to experience, but never at man himself
the cause of all the experience. Nature
furnishes us with far more perfect sam
Piles of individual men and women thar
of communities and nations. Let u:
study-these best types.
Yes, know that we must be practical
But good and true things are just as prae
tical as low, and false, and imperfec'
things. Mr.. Spencer staggers under q
mass of statistics about what men Eave
done in past times. He labels this mass
Sociology He tells US frankly that he
does not know how to reconstruct soci.
ETY.. He hopes that IN some sort of 9
way lit will grow.n But he forgets that
intelleci, and knowledge, and science are
among the great factors of its growth.
Society grows quite as much. by the i'll.
crease and the application of knowledge,
as it does by the development of feeling
Its growth is the result of intentions and
plans, as much and more than 1t is o.
blind impulses.
The only true way to test any instltu-
tion, or any proposed measure of reform
is to compare these plans directly with
the nature of man. 1t is for him tnat
they are designed. In 1859 and 1880 the
writer OF this article carefully examined
the duties of every class of officers, in
all the institutions of civilization. He
extended this survey over both ancient
and modern times. He traced the duties
of each officer back to the mental faculty
from which it originated. The result Of
this year and half of work is summed
up in the diagram entitled "Civliism.
Up to the present year, 1884, of our Com
mon Era, only the six lower groups Of
faculties have been in any way repre-
sented. The noblest half of the mind
the six higher groups, have been left to
the isolated and always aboltive efforts
of private individuals. They have never
formed constituent part of any institu
ton in society. 1t is true that the church
and some other organizations have some
times taken the name OF these higher
faculties. But-the true function of re
lieion is two fold. 1T must unite The en-
ftiFe human race in one composite and
responsive life. And, it must unite and
harmonize man with the spiritual life Of
the universe. The church has never I'M
dertaken to accomplish either of these
results. 1t has really represented an
obedience to authority, and this springs

on the side Of the head:

time support the Democracy, because all
Europe. and South America to boot is
arrayed against the Maine statesman
vigorous foreign policy. But it says
that Mr.. Blaine's personal purity record is
assailed, and that his temperance procliv-
tiles will array the whisky element against
him and give it to the Democracy. Accord
ing to its own showing, therefore, this
Southern Democratic journal admits that
Mr. Blaine is the strongest Republican that
could be chosen is representative of Amer
lean ideas: is temperate and wise; was and
is Union lover; was and is an abolition
list, and therefore lover of human free
dom; is a man of lofty ability, statesman
and an acute politician and does not COM
mand European sympathy because his for
eign policy is distinctively American. The
Post should be employed to continue the
advocacy of Mr. Blaines cause. 1t is too
honest and outspoken to do the Democracy
any good.

The subject of the following sketch from
the San Francisco BuAeti, of June 18th was
formerly resident of Sacramento About
two years ago a secret marriage took place
in this city that caused tiutter of COM
ment At that time Evangeline Ballou, a
girl scarcely old enough to be called a
young lady, was singing at the Tivoli, and
there met Maurice Hageman, another
member of the company. They were
secretly married, much to the displeastIre
of Mrs. Addie Ballou, the poet-artist and
mother of the girl. Mrs. Ballou, thinking
that her daughter had made a hasty and
imprudent marriage, took successful steps
TO secure possession of her child, and Hage-
man in despair went to Oregon and became
manager of the Tivoi Theater in Portland.
Two months ago Hageman was surprised
by receiving letter from his wife, inform
ing him that she was still in the custody
of her mother, and desired to hear from
him. The letter contained the further in
telligence that she had been divorced
through the efforts of her mother. Hage-
man lost no time in answering the letter
The result was that about two weeks ago
Miss Ballou went secretly to Oregon. After
overcoming some very energetic objections
on the part of Mrs. Ballou, the youthful
pair were reparried. Miss Ballou sang in
the chorus of the Emma Abbott and Maple
son opera companies during the recent en-
gagements in San Francisco She has q
rich contralto voice and good stage pres
ence. 1t is presumed that general recon-
citation will now take place.

THE State Board of Charities of New
York has fled a protest against the over
burden imposed upon them by the hood OF
alien paupers, servile, demented and idiotic
aliens. They are sent over to US by the
ship load. The Chinese are bad enough,
but this sewer discharge Of the alms-houses
of Europe is worse. But then the tender
footed sophomores of New England say
that this is the home for whomsoeyer will
come, and that we violate a sacred prin-
ciple if we seek to close the door against
the servile and pauper hordes which clamor
for admission, y sickly and exploded sen
timentality. Americans never have COM
mittcd themselves to such preposterou,

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

There is considerable agitation in this
city concerning proposed changes in the
course of study i'll the High School of Sac
ramento. Amy change that will benefit the
greatest number of pupils in the public
schools, and induce the largest attendance
at the High School, should be adopted,
destructive of the purposes of the
school. These purposes are, or should be,
to fit youths as fully as may be done for
useful entry upon the active duties of life.
The High School should be the opportunity
for the child of the poor man, and we be-
ieye it has been thus far, and that the
roster of the school will show it. Prepar-
alton for the University is but incidental to
the High School. 1t never was one Of its
original purposes. 1t still should be re-
tanned as a possibility for all who desire to
embrace it. That privilege should not be
circumsCribed so as to prevent pupils from
entering the High School with view to
preparation for the University. But, in
fact, if Judged by the course of study and
the requirements Of the University the
High School does not and cannot equip
pupils for immediate and full entry into
the University There will, of course, be
some friction in any attempted readjust-
ment Of the course Of study; but there
need be no acrimony. Our High School has
an enviable reputation and it must not be
married But desirable thing to accom-
plish is to broaden the advan-
tages for all pupils, and to prevent
suel narrowing as will exclude all but
a few bright intellects and those whose
chief aim is to reach the University. In
short, our schools should not be conducted
with an eye single to university or col
legiate course. On the contrary the High
School should be considered the apex and
finishing point of the common school sys-
TEN, Notwithstanding that it is but an at
tachment of the system under our laws.
The one thing to be aimed at is to fit our
boys and girls to the best advantage by the
Grammar and High School courses for
entry upon the practical and active duties
of life. Itshould be possible as it IS, to ac-
complish the two purposes, of promoting
preparation for the University of all who
desire to apply for entry there, and of de-
veloping 10 the fullest extent possible in
High School course all-and they are the
majority-wham the necessities of life re-
quire to finish their educational career with
the High School, and to obtain as fully as
may be practical education. If, as some
contend, to accomplish this properly and
without undue strain, it is necessary to
round out the High School course with an
added year, it will not of necessity be OBJ
iectionable The " bright intellects will
not thereby be hindered from moving for
ward as rapidly as their capacity admits.
The idea of four years in the High school
course is not new one, and is worth seri-
Gus consideration.

AFTER all the talk, the bolt Of Har-

" kick 1t is a growl, and poor one at
that Democrats cannot draw consolation
from it. since the Weekly gives them very
clearly to understand that it has no love for
them, nor hope for their party, and that it
will not aid the Democracy in making the
Republican party target for its assaults.
For the Weekly while regretting the nomi-
nation Of Blaine, and insisting upon lis in
expedicncy, adds The Democratic Party
really stands tor nothing but opposition
and a repulsiye tradition. The endeavor to
identify it with any definite policy except
that which is known as general cussed-
ness fails etc, 1t admits that the nomi-
nation of Mr. Blaine is agreeable to the
majority Of the party, but still thinks the
nomination ought to alarm honest Re
