WINGED of one thing-if Garside could
have remained here for three or four
weeks, he would have succeeded in or
ganizing one. have heard many social
lists speak, but never one who combined
thorough understanding and compre-
hension Of the subject, and clear and
forcible expression with so much elo-
quence and gracefulness as Garside
does. When Garside speaks he becomes
fascinating, His power lof language is
admirable, and ! think that the Party
has cause to congratulate itself in hay
ing gained the services Of a man of such
callbre.
Unfortunately, he became very sick
here; SO much 50 that we had to call in
the aid of two physicians, who, for a
while, were afraid of the worst. Hap
pity, however, he rallied, and after a
few days illness he was able to proceed
on his journey.
Since Garside was here, | have come
to the opinion that tour like his
should be differently arranged, One or
two lectures will of course do some good,
but it will be of IA passing nature. A
stay of several weeks, however, will en-
able man like Garside to accomplish
something Of more permanent nature.
An agitation for a few weeks in one
city will be of more practical results
than the travelling about Of the agita-
tor during that time.

the same hall with fortnightly meetings
of the Social Science Institute, debat-

There is a friendly cooperative spirit
between ourselves and the knights in
sustaining these meetings. The agta-
tatlon on the part of the Socialists is
conducted 10y a committee consisting of
two delegates from each of the three
Sections here, which committee meets

papers if space can be obtained for it.
The subject discussed at the last meet
ing, April 18th, was The True Meaning
of Socialism, introduced by an address
based ON John Stuart Mills posthumous
chapters on Socialism, by your humble
servant. Mills understanding of mod
ern Socialism was of course criticised,
and his mistakes pointed out. The dis
Cussion that followed was quite lively
and instructive.
On the same day, in the afternoon,
there was "A well attended meeting of
the Eight Hour League at the Labor
Temple. Two or three hundred dele
gates from labor organizations of Min
neapols, st. Paul and other cities and
towns in the State were present, and a
programme was made ont for agitation
work on behalf Of that movement
The Minneapolis and st. Paul Sections
of the s. l., p. had delegates present
who abStained from taking any active
part, and were present simply to show
their sympathy with this among all
other delusiye efforts of organized
labor" to better their conditions

meeting Of eight or ten thousand PEG
pie was held in the open air at Bridge
square, where very radical speeches were
made and resolutions passed Among
these was an almost unanimously sup
ported resolution, calling upon the State
Legislature TO condemn the plant Of
the railroad corporations for public uses,
and legalizing the purchase Of it by the
city, and the carrying on Of the same
business in the interest Of the public by
the same authority.
This evening, at the meeting Of the
Social Science Institute, the eXpediency
Of this was discussed, when the Socialist
had an opportunity of explaining their
attitude towards it, showing that even
socIallstIc Institutions would be disap-
pointing except under socialistic condi-
tions and management. There is likely
to be an exciting time tomorrow, when
an attempt is to be made to start the
cars with "scab" employees.
Two weeks from to-day the Socialists
of Minneapolis will visit their comrades
in 81, Paul, and a joint meeting will be
held, the first, we hope, Of frequent visit,
Of the kind. | regret to add that the
comrades here have sustained a severe

TIE FUTURE OF AUSTRALIA.
Statistician Estimates That 1t Will Hay
125, 900 Souls In a Century.

Statistician Estimates That 1t viii Hay
125, OC0 900 Souls In Century.
Statistics that have been prepared By
com peteut authorities in Australia show
that in the year 1891, when the regular
census will be taken, there will be iu the
Australesisu colonies of Great Britain
not less Ihan 100000 inhabitants. Judg-
ing from the growth of Australia by the
progress that Is already teiDg made, and
by similar increases that have taken place
in the United States, the statisticians of
the antipodes assert that IN century
from this time Australasia will have a
population of 125, 900 600 souls; that is
there will be upon this southern continent
and its adjacent isisuds a population
greater than is now found on the cont
nents of North and 5uth America. OF
course, st that time the increase in pop
ulatioG in other parts OF the world will
have gone op. Russia will then have
more than 20O,OOO,OOO, Germany, 100 OOO,-
OOO, and the y 1ited States at least 25O,-
100000 people. But even allowing for
gains made elsewhere, says the Boston
Herald, it Ia evident that at that time
Australia will be looked upon as one of
the great nations of the world, for it
hardly needs TO be said that long before
that time colonial ties that bind the
colonies to the mother country will have
peen broken and the Australians will
have only those sentimental connections
to attach them TO EsgIand that they will
share with the members of the wide
spread English-s spesking race. In iudg-
ing of the future of great division of
the world it is necessary ID take INTO &C
count its industrial and political as well
as its natural advantages. Politically
considered there is not much difference
between the condition of the Australian
colonies and the condition of our
American states. They sre in all respects
| self-governing communities; in fact, If
| any hing, they are more free than an
American commonwealth. for neither
| New York nor Massachusetts, can raise q
| revenue or protect its local industries by
| a tariff tax, while Victoria and New South
| Wales can cut into each others trade a.

HYPNOTISM.
uQaradra.

The Marvel of the Nileteenrh Century.
LoNDCN-A gentleman named Fletcher
invited about thirty people to his house
to observe and question M. Garmeau, q
hypnotist, who is iast now the particular
and exclusive fad among people in search
of entertainments after dinner. The guests
were sci 3oted with a great deal of care,
and it seemed like a thoroughly honest
effort to get at the bottom of Garmean's
extra ordinary power. The hypnot;st
claims to be German, though his name,
manner ard appearances are thoroughly
French. The idea is prevalent, by the
way, that he is an American with poly
gIottic mplishments. Some of his
feats we're extraordinary. 1t should be
borne in mind that the guests were in
vited and there was no attempt at an ex-
hibition for money.
During the evening Gdrmean, in illus
tratipg the effect of his WILL even from
distance, asked some members of the
party who could play the piano. To see
what effect his will would nave combating
that of the specialist, an American named
Ross, who was formerly on the governing
board of New York club. sat down and
began 10 play carelessly on the piano.
Carmean announced that he would 60
downstairs and stop the playiig in a GER
tain number of minutes. He scrlbbled a
number On piece of paper, doubled il mp
and placed 1t in the hands of one of the
guests, descended the stairs, while every
man in the party held his watch in his
hand and kept vigilant eye upon the
New York clubman.
Mr.. Ross wore a smile of singular and
beautiful superiority. He dritted casually
from one air into another and kept up
steadily for four minutes. Then the smile
faded away like flash and the pianist
sat with his hands over the keyboard, ut
terly unable TO move finger. Beads of
perspIrHtIOn poured down his face. He
announced afterward that he was perfect
ly aware of everything that was going on
and felt al abiding shame of his own i'm
potence, but he was utterly unable TO
move a finger. He remained in this state
until Garmean appeared in the room and
released him with a nod of his head. The
folded paper was then opened, and it was
found that the figure had been marked
on it. Four minutes was the limit which
Garmean had set. He seemed able to ex-
ert his power indiscrimipateIy and upon
any subject.
Some hot headed members OF the party
would announce now and then that the
whole thing was CANNON, aud then Gar
mean would turn to him with an air of
grave politepess, and say: you don't
believe in meY" The answer would in
vnriably be No" Garmean would then
ask the man to rise, and that always end
ed the controversy. In no instance was
he able to rise from his chair, though his
struggle, i'll some cases were profound
and pugnacious. | cannot see exaorly
where Garmean makes his income, for he
refused absolutely TO accept a fee for his
exhibition last night. 1t is probable,
however, that he is building up a reputa-
tion now which will be taken advantage
of later on. l have seen mind readers,
spiritualists and people of that ilk; but
| have not yet encountered anything more
startling than this exhibition of hypnot-
ism.

and that only an engineer was injured.
Some of the passengers arrived At Lis

LISBON, April 21.-Forty-two of the
crew of the Danmark arrived here to day
on the steamer Acor. Mr.. RabeR, the
first officer, who is among them, reporl S
that on April the Daumark's shaft was
broken. On the next day the disabled
steamer m ct the steamship Missouri, from
London, March 2s, for Philadelphia and
Baltimore. The Missouri towed the Dan
mark until A pril 6rh, when the latter was
about to sink. At first the Missouri was
able TO take aboard twenty of the Dan
marks passengers, but after having Jet
tisoned portion of her cargo she found
accommodations for all the crew and pas
sengors Of the Danmark. The Missouri
then proceeded to the Azores ard left
there the first and second officers and 800
passengers. She then continued her
journey to Philadelphia with $40 passen
gers and the remainder of the crew. The

Tux Railway Age states that 66 new
been projected siuct the lst day of Jan
uary. OF these 4,Sl9 miles are either
under contract or in actual process of
construction; = GIT miles have been sur
veyed, and $4,000 miles are as yet in cou-
temptation only. The Southern States
head the list with more than IS per cent
OF the new roads, - per cent. of coptem-
plated roads, and about 80 per cent. of
roads ulder contract or constructed. The
Northwest has 1t per cent. of the new
roads, rather more than - per cent. of the
contem plated mileage, and over Is per
cent. of it under contract or in process of
construction. The residue is absorbed by
the Eastern and Middle States, but chiefly
by New Eugluus. This ratio is likely 70
be disturbed by the construction of roads
in the new States, and possibly, in the
new territory of Oklahoma, but under any
circumstances of growth of Southern en-
terprise Is very notable and encouraging.
Many of the old trunk lines had agreed
with each other to enter in to no com petit
tive construction, and the tone of com
plant generally heard In railway circles
had led TO supposition that this would
be POOR year for builders and contract,
ors, but the figures furnished by the
Railway Age discredit the suppositiou.
1t is probable, however, that few of the
new roads are on parallel lines with those
of the great trunk systems. In all likeli-
hood they mostly are branches tapping
new regions or local enterprises which
will serve as feeders to the trade of
.'through roads"
