BUILDING IMPROVEMENT.

Everything now points to quite
an activity along the line of build
ing improvement in Caldwell this
fall. Among the most important
projects that have crytalized into a
certainty, we enumerate the follow
ing:
It is now definitely settled that
the NJ. E. congregation will soon
erect house of worship in Cald-
we'll. The site has not yet been
located, although we understand
the vacant lots on Kimball Street,
west of the Iowa House, are being
favorably considered. The Metho-
dists have raised about $4,000 for
building purposes, which, judiciou:. :
ly expended, will return them a
neat, comfortable and substantial
church.
Hardy Maxey informs Us that he
has the contract for building an ad-
dition to the Baptist Church. The
addition will be placed on the south
end of the building.
Mr.. A. Strickland, having dis
posed of his extensive stock inter
ests in Jordan Valley, has conclud'
ed that Caldwell is good enough
for him, and will accordingly build
handsome residence on his recent
purchase.
C. M. Wheel will shortly build
an addition to his house. G, III.

SOME REFLECTIONS.
Horace" Ruminates for the Benefit
 of the HOrny.Handed.

Well, the battle Is over, and many are the corpses scattered over the field. As usual, the mass of the workers have voted with their ene- mics, thus showing how little appre- citation they have of their own con- dition and prospects. They will now have time and sufficient oppor- tunity and occasion for reflection. Now, brothers, you doubtless think, ycu who voted the republican ticket, that you have achieved a great victory; but seriously, what have you gained? The right of wage slaves to continue in the servi- trde of your masters, provided the masters have use for you. And you, brothers, who voted the "demo- cratic ticket, what have you lost ? You think you have lost power. Console yourselves, dear brothers, you will lose none of the power you have exercised under democratic" administration to serve your masters as wage slaves. My poor deluded "republican" and "democratic' brothers, when the cold blasts of winter pierce your scanty attire, gather your rags closer about you and seek your poor abodes in cheap tenements, where the cruel wind forces its icv fangs through every crack and crevice, listen to the plain tive appeal of the little ones for more fire, more fuel, more clothing, and then reflect that you have voted for continuance of these condi- tions. At the same time 1 want you to remember that at all times the production of labor in the country IS ample for all the needs of the whole people if there was an equit- able distribution, and that such equity will prevail when you as a body so will; but as long as you try to be contented with present condl- tions, just 80 long will present condi- tlons prevail.

BONFIELO AGAIN.
He Tells Another Cock and Bull Story
 to Reporters.

That rascally police ghoul, Bon field, of Chicago, seems bound to keep his friends, the gamblers and capitalists generally, in "a state of mind" His latest story is that there are 5,000 able-bodied anar- chists in Chicago, ready "to carry out their object of destruction" He even goes so far as to say that the day appointed is July II, 1889, the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille in France hundred years ago.
 What rot No sensible person will believe that there are any con- siderable number of people who are intelligent enough to be dissatisfied with the present ruinous system of society and are still so stupid as to believe that they can effect a remedy by the use of physical force.
 While there may be a few rattle bralns of the Most variety Tn Chl- cago and other cities, the capitalists are the last who need fear them. Such people usual ly seek to destroy labor organizations by sneaking in under false pretenses and then, when they have opportunity, creating dis cord. They could not do better service for capitalism if they were hired for the purpose. People who claim to be opposed to all forms of orderly organization, and then act the part of spies and sneaks, are not the kind of individuals that will do capitalism any harm. But Bon field assures the world that there is an international organization of just such creatures, and that their head quarters in America is in New York.
 This Bonfeld is no doubt bent on frightening somebody into paying blackmall in the shape of subsidies to some detective agency. The scheme embraces the engagement of a lot of "bums' at $l.50 to $2.0 a day and then placing them "on duty" and receiving for their "ser- vices from $5. % to $7.00 and up- wards per day. There's poodle in it for the agency and it's bunco steerers of the Bonfeld stripe.

A public meeting of our Section will be held next Sunday, Nov. IS, at Meta mora Hall, 12 w. Lombard street, be- ginning at 10 o'clock Ii. iii.
 Every reader of the WoRKMEN's AD- vOCATE in this city whom l have interviewed about his opinion in re- spect to the socialist principles has de- clared that he stands entirely on our platform, and believes in every word of the same. And why should any honest workman not recognize such generous principles? ?

The American Section of the Socialist Labor party held meeting last Sunday afternoon in Goldman Hall. Various phases of Socialism, such as the govern ment control of the telegraph, railroads ann machinery of production, were dis cussed by J. w. Badger, George J. Mouton, D. H. Biggs, Charles Friede and others. A number of members joined the Section.
 One of the stump speakers for the Democratic" party during the last cam paign was elected by the Central Labor Union to represent that body at the na- tional convention of the American Fed eration of Labor.

ALBANY, N. Y.
How Political Activity has Affected
 Our Party.

The election is over, and we can calmly survey the field and see the ad- vantages socialists have gained. When we consider to what extent the old par ties have agitated the public mind upon the fallacious questions of free trade" and protection" when we consider the corruption of the poodle parties, the elaborate use of money on election day, and the insufficient knowledge possessed by the wageworkerS as to their real con- dition-w hen we consider all this, we can safely assert that the Socialists have won victory.
 The Albany Section, though numeri- cally small, went into the election with q deternination to be recognized by the people and to strengthen their Section. Our success surpassed our expectations, for we gained fifteen active members, and polled 232 votes in this District for our candidate for Congress. Had our ballots arrived sooner and been more uniform in appearance with those of the other parties it is safe to say that our vote would have reached 800.
 One thing which we have missed in this election is a daily paper of our own in the English language. Although the Albany papers have treated us kindly, we know what the effect of a daily or gan of our own might have been. We hope our comrades all over the country will see the necessity of establishing daily paper with which we could place our principles before the people and have no fear of the future.
 The Albany socialists will not stop with this election, but will continue un- til they make this old burg stronghold of socialist principles AK.

The significant thing about this cleo tion, so far as the figures can yet be ana lyzed, is that the democrats gain in the towns and cities, and the republicans in the villages and country. This gain of democrats is especially noticeable in the manufacturing cities and towns, the very places where the numskull politicians of both parties expected to find the strong. est devotion to the protective fetish. The truth is that it is in these cities and towns that the discussion has come quickest and has been most dctiCe, and it is especially in the manufacturing cities and towns that the ed,tcation of the labor associations has been going on. It is in these places that the growth of the single tax idea-the perception of the ndturdl equality of all men and of their equal right to the use of ndturdI opportunities has sapped at their very foundations the fallaces of protection.
 The really significant thing about thls election just passed, is the per fectlon with which whilom l0b0r re- formers can perform contortional evolutions in politico-economics, and in the rapid transformation of a cor rupt carcass of political character into a most beneficent organization for freedom and reform; in which a certain person by the name of Cleve- land was made the especial target for the denunciation of these self same reformers some two years ago, but who Is now in their estimation, "every inch man." in which the echoes of Tammany Hall To Let Tammany Hall To Let have hard ly died out, when 1t has become the most hol y sanctuary in which labor leaders may worship. But above all, the lesson which should be learned from the last election in the city of New York and which every true worker, either of hand or brain, should take to heart, Is not to longer allow few men of ability, to mislead them and to cut the heart out of the labor movement as they did at Syracuse in 1887, the re- suit of which we now experience, in a reduction of a protesting and sin cere vote of 68,OO0 citizens, to a combined protest of the same char acter of really less than 5000 votes, for of the 1000 cast for Mir.

The Photo~rapher and the sitter.

A photographer asked gentleman to sit
Tor his likeness. and the gentleman assented
upon condition that he should pose himself as
he chose. The photographer agreed. provided
that he might pose the sitter for another like
ness. The sitter adjusted himself in a position
which seemed TO him natural and comfort
able, and the negative was taken. Then the
photographer adjusted the sitter, and pres
emily showed the result of the two attempts.

one aside, 'but this is very good" Yes"
said the photographer; ''the first is your
pose, the last is mine" The sitter smiled
good naturally as if struck by thought.

Etiquette of the Napkin.

A napkin should never be put on the table a
second time until it has been rewashed; there
fore napkin rings should be abandoned or re-
legated TO the nursery tea table.
At fashionable meal the guest does lot
fold his napkin. At social tea or breakfast
he may do so if the hostess set the example,
but there is no absolute law governing that
branch Of the subject.
Never fasten your napkin around your
neck; lay it across your knee convenient to
the hand and lift one corner only to wipe the
mouth. Men who wear mustache are per
mitted to saw" the mouth with the napkin,
as if it were bearing rein, but for ladies this
would look too masculine. Nothing is more
unpleasant than a damp napkin. Never al
low napkin to be placed on your table until
it has been well aired" Manners and Social
