Railroad Racket.

We believe that we are now in
position to say to our readers that
if we get a railroad it will be
through some other channel than
the one presented us recently by
the Messrs. Mcintyre.
Following is an extract from a
letter written by Mr.. Edgar Cher
ry, chairman of the railroad com.
mittee, to the Messrs. Mcintyre:
Our r. r. Committee or q ma
jority of them say that unless they
can have contract from the Ten
nessee & Mississippi r. r. Co.,
that the subscription voted. to
them shall not be payable until
the Paducah & Tennessee r. r.
Go. builds its road to a point with
in one mile of Courthouse on the
East side of the Tennessee River,
the people will not vote the aid sc.
Replying to which, ID. I. McIn-
tyre said:
In answer we beg to say that
we could not think of making such
a contract, and if the Committee
propose to insist upon such gross
ly unreasonably provisions they
will never get r. r. through
that county as long as the world
stands.
We are sorry to surrender all
hope for a railroad on so short a
notice. but we do so believing
that all is for the best.

Dead Kaiser Live Mayor and Bare

The news of the death of the Kaiser
of Germany, Mr.. F. w. N. G. Won Hohen-
zollern, did not disturb the serenity of
the mayor of New York, and when some
newspaper reporters called upon him to
inquire why no flags were displayed
from the poles Oh the City Hall, he
simply told them that the peoples rep
resentatlves didn't order them up. As
to his views on the death of the little
big man of Germany, he had nothing to
say save that he supposed we'd all have
to die some day, and that would be the
end of us. This Mayor Hewitt of New
York shows a surprising amount of
common sense, considering the stupid
manner in which he treats matters of
political economy. Of course, it may
not be necessary for the mayor of an
overgrown village to know much of po-
liticai economy, but there are those who
expect chief magistrate TO have at
least slnattering OF the dry science"

LABOR LYCEUM.
DIR. Fillmore Moore on 1.-THE Religious
Attitude Toward Our Bodies"

DIR. Fillmore Moore on 1.-THE Religious
Attitude Toward Our Bodies"
Despite the inclemency of the weather
the customary Friday evening meeting
of the New York Labor Lyceum last
week attracted an interested audience,
although small one. The lecturer was
Dir. Fillmore Moore, who had for his
subject "The Religious Attitude Toward
Our Bodies" which, before the lecture,
was considered by some as entirely
| foreign to the economical question, but
they were soon led to see factor in
socialism in the Doctors discourse, the
burden of which was that mankind
must work out its own salvation; our
intellectual and physical functions being
| allied, it is necessary for healthy, har-
monious relation to cultivate both; and
the mind being primarily necessary to
protect the body from the extremes of
nature, life is a continual struggle to
control nature, and the longer man con-
| trolls it, the longer is his existence.
Theological religion teaches that ma
ture is immutable. That error is the
primary cause of much of our misery.
Instead of using our intellect to improve
our economic conditions by which our
physical development is possible, we re-
main dormant and plod on without COM
| plant, "for that is considered blasphe
NOUS" and the records of centuries
show but very slight and very slow im-
provement.
The speaker dwelt upon the evils of
exercising only one or morA functions at
the expense of others, and in conclusion
he forcibly demonstrated that the nearest
approach to perfection is when the mind
and muscle are equally taxed and where
the learned professor and workman are
one.
In the discussion which followed Mr..
SiIbernick stated Tat Carl Marx and
Ferdinand Lasalle, being model speci-
mems of manhood judged others by
themselves, and in their writings neg
lected to calculate on the inferiority Of
the masses. Therefore their political
economy was impracticable.
Comrade Harry White answered him
by proving that Marx and Lasalle above
all others realized the importance of the
development of the physical and mental
qualities of mankind in order to institute
socialism. While endeavoring to edu-
cate. they strenuously advocated better
sanitary laws, endeavored by legislation
to prevent child labor, curtail the work
ing day, etc,
Comrade Schaider supplemented and
supported Mr.. Whites position.

day Evening.
The Anti-Convict Labor League had
its innings last Monday evening at
Cooper Union, where a fair audience
gathered to listen to reasons why Con-
gresham O'Neils bill, restricting the
sale of convict made goods to the State
III which they are made, should be made
law. Democrats republicans, "
single-taXers. We're ON hand, as well as
some officers of conservative labor or
CARNATIONS. A shoe manufacturer from
Albany and Dir. McGlynn were among
the speakers. The measure advocated
comes under the class OF palliatives, and
If made law would tend to compel the
workingmen i'll the several States to
fight their own battles against convict
competition. Naturally, it would coli
tine the prison labor contractors to a
narrower field for the sale of their
goods, and, in the absence of State laws
to hinder it, the convict contract sys-
tenn would i'll some instances, be espe-
cially hard on the workers in some lines:
but this might stir them to action. One
of the speakers said that machinery
should not be allowed in prison factories.
lie probably never calculated the bene-
tits that would accrue to the people if
the criminals produced the greatest
possible amount of value for the people.
And there is the meat in the C coanut:
if the people conducted their own affairs
as COLLECTIVELY, this prison labor ques-
ton and many another question of the
kind would not trouble the workers
