pressed, they are: l, sound finance;
2, military and naval reforms; 8, land
reforms; 4, protection to American la
Dor; 5, anti-monopoly; 6, generous pen
sions; I, restricted immigration; s.,
civil service reform; s, the rights of

of which there is, and can be, no ques-

of the republican party. So far as
they have been accomplished at all,
they have been accomplished by the
republican party against the protests

she said TO a reporter of a New York paper.
There were large audiences everywhere

"a Unitarian minister at Edinburgh. We
had long talks upon anarchy and | rather

London is great place. Instead of pre-
venting anarchists from parading on Nov

for celebrating that event. We had the
flag out, too and had chance 20 say that
IL meant not bloodshed and carnage, but
the brotherhood of man. 1t seemed as II
the further away you get from free Ameri-
ca the more freedom you find for anar-
ehists."
Mrs Parsons is soon to marry again, and
with not few bushes she admitted tho
fact.
