THE DEBATERS' CORNER.
OBJECTIONS TO NO. II.

To the WOrkpien's AduOcdte:
In one of your recent issues you invited
the comment of all interested as to the
various points in the platform of the So
cialist Labor Party. | have carefully
scanned the various measures therein
demanded and feel that | can subscribe
to all of them with the exception of one,
viz No. II, which relates to the grant
ing of divorces, This ! consider an I'M.
wise measure and one foreign to the vital
aims Of Socialism.
1t is not a wise demand because it is
one which is calculated to set the preju.
dices of minds otherwise open to Social.
ism against the Party. Ihave repeatedly
been assailed with comments on this
very point by parties who acknowledged
the Justice of all the other points. AL
though the fact is patent that to-day the
consent of only one party is necessary to
dissolve the marital relation, in spite of
all the safeguards thrown around it, and
the method suggested would in no way
inaug,lrate any looser notions on matr-
mony, still the demand in question looks
Dau IN PRINT anu VIII exercise repeuant
effect If this platform is to be used as
a means of propaganda, which undoubt-
eddy is one of its most important func-
tions, then the demand in question should
go.
Moreover, / do not see the necessity Of
such demand and its connection with
the aims of Socialism. Socialism deals
with economic problems, the just distri-
button of wealth and the emancipation
of the wage-worker. While / concede
that these matters may have an effect
upon the ultimate regulation of married
life and will in time certainly produce a
more generally spread happiness in fam
lily relations. l deny that the converse
is true-that the regulation of these mat
tiers will promote our cause one iota.
As an honest believer in Socialism and
in the interest of that grandest of all
movements, | therefore suggest that
the demand in question be stricken from
the platform. q.
Washington, Feb. g.

language most widely spoken; but it
must Ice admitted that the reduction of
English To rigid regulations has a com.
promising effect on such poetic beauty
as 1t may have contained before. For
instance, man is adopted for oman"
son for ''son," and "blod" for "broth.
en-; but the Nolapuk rule for making
the feminine is to prefix the masculine
noun with "ji' pronounced she); we
have, therefore, .itmdHfor woman. ii-Son
for daughter, and ji-blod for sister. To
give another example of how words are
built up III this artificial language ac-
cording to definite rules, we may quote
the word gud, which is the substantive
form representing goodness. The ad
jcctive is formed by adding liz to the
substantive, and the adverb by adding 0
to the adjective. Gm(R, therefore
means good; Vtdiho, well; gatdikum is
better; gtdikint, best; g,td0H, to make
good; g0dikuDtOA, to make better, to i'm
prove; galihdmon, to make best, or as
good as possible. The verbs are subject
to great infections, and can he made to
express a great deal by pretiXes. Thus
lQf is the root of the verb to love; diil0fon
means loving that will have been con-
slant; tofotsok, those women love them
selves. Lem is a bargain or purchases
lemon is to buy; lemob, | buy; lenaobS we
buy; dlemobs, we bought; elcniobs we
have bought; eilemobS, we have bought
constantly. Sci is sale; scion is to sell;
seIob, sell; Selobs, we sell; selol, thou
sellest; selots, you sell; pOselOls, you will
sell; Hposelols, will you sell:
We give these examples to show some
thing of the system Of building up words,
and also to indicate how, possibly, Vol
apuk may prove of value for foreign tel
grams. 1t is probable, at all events, that
some commercial firms will think it
worthy of further investigation.
The probability Of English becoming
the world S language is growing more
rapidly year by year. 1t is estimated
that when Shakespeare wrote, his Ian
guage was spoken and understood by
only about 100000. The best judges
now calculate that at least 100. 100000
talk and understand it, and vast popula-
tions in India, China, Japan, and else
where are acquiring it for business and
social purposes, The race of which it is
a native tongue is growing faster than
any other in the world; and with the
printing and circulation of literature, the
danger has departed of the language be-
coming broken up into various dialects,
as Latin was thousand or fifteen hun
bred years ago. But it is possible that
even among ourselves, as well as in COM
munication with the great countries
where English is not understood, some
thing like this scientific language may
serve useful purpose. In that view we
have thought well to offer these remarks
concerning it.-Chemist and Druggist

VOLAPUK.

For some years past, and much more
frequently of late, there have been refer
ences in English and Continental journals
to the Volapuk, worlds speech, or uni
versal language, and it would seem as if
in some quarters there is growing in
clination to take its pretensonSseriously.
A small volume recently plblished by
Messrs. Whitaker & Co, containing the
grammar and voCabularies of this inven-
ton in an English form, enables us to
acquire some idea of the design and its
merits, The original IL Mr., Johann
Martin Schleyer, of Lii tzelstetten, Baden.
Germany, and his work, which was first
introduced to the world in 1880, has been
translated into English by Mr. w. A.
Secret. of Glasgow, who describes himself
as "certihcated teach er of the universal
language" This gentleman tells us that
Nolapuk "has already gained affirm foot
ing in Germany, switzerland, Holland,
Hungary, Italy, France, Sweden, and
especially in Austria, and in Syria and
Arabia, having been in troduced also into
Russia, South America, ASIA and the
north of Africa"
We have no means of knowing what is
to he understood by the "tim footing
alluded to, but 1t is Ger tainly something
far removed from every thing APPROACH
ing general adoption. But, as we said,
it has evidently approached the stage
when people begin to to ask about it.;
the English Pathological Society has dis
cussed it with something like APPROVAL
one of those fierce Englishmen who per-
petually write to the Times from Cont
mental hotels has felt called upon to de-
nounce it, and the leading journal itself
has devoted column of somewhat heavy
banter to it, A defender of the language
has since written from Paris, declaring
that there are already some half million
people corresponding i'm or still learning
Nolapuk, and announcing that congress
of Volapukists is to be held in Paris in
1899.
Mr.. Schleyer's object seems to have
been to provide a scien tiiic, SYSTEMATIC,
and easily acquired language, not to sup
plant others, but to furnish all nations
with ready means of communication,
suitable especially for commercial cor
respondence by letter and telegram. No
one who studies his scheme can help ad-
miring the ingenuity of many of its
parts and the scrupulo1s rigidity with
which rule once laid down is main
tanned 1t seems cruel TO have to add
even one extra to the vast education
which it appears is necessary nowadays
for commercial clerk who wishes to
hold hisown against the dreadedGerman;
but knowledge of Vol;apukis much
more fearsome thing i'm sound than in
reality. A few hours study will enable
any one with some phil ological knowl-
edge to master the Fundamental rules;
and with dictionary he could then
translate either into or from Volapuk
without much further dI fficulty.

The State Prison.

The question of the future dispo-
sition of the convict labor at the
state prison at Waupun is to be con
sidered at the coming meeting Of
the Legislature. At the last session
the matter was more or less dis
cussed, and a Legislative committee
was appointed to visit various pen
itentiaries and penal institutions in
the east and report upon the subject
Of convict labor in all its relations
to tie state and TO its com petition
with free labor. That committee
made it's tour of inspection last year,
and its report will be awaited with
interest. The conclusions the com
mittee arrived at are already known,
and members of it have not hest
tated to say that the committee will
unanimously recommend retention
of the present contract system The
committee discovered in its visits to
other states and other institutions
that every other system and all at
tempted reforms in the effort TO
reduce competition with free labor
to a minimum had resulted in fail
ure aud an increase of public taxa
ton beyond all the relief to coupe
tition that the experiments afforded,
The Wisconsin state prison ia now
practically self-sustalning. The
deficiencies that have occurred in
the last two or the years have been
created by OUTLAWS for permanent
improvements which were necessary.
Considering the enormous expense
which the system of idleness in
vogue i'm New York has entailed
upon the state, and counting similar
experiences in other states, Wiscon-
sin is to be congratulated upon being
able to maintain such a costly and
yet necessary state institution at SO
trifiing a cost TO the taxpayers. 1t
would seem TO be worse than folly
to change the system and fly to
greater evils than we are positive of.
