outlook to secure a roof over their heads
free" What do they mean ?''
Why do bring up these things before
you?
| To prove that man alone is not mt to
| govern, neither would woman alone be.
| In giving the ruling power into the hands
of either sex we are going contrary to
! Gods law of perfect equality, as exhibited
in plant life which knows no law but His,
and grows as He orders. Politics should
become ia measure our national religion
we should go to the polls as we go to our
church--mcn and women together yet each
responsible to God alone.
What do politics mean? what should a
political life mean but broader living
and a grander doing? The laws of our
country arc supposed to be made simply to
help our people to live and protect the
home, for the homes create the nation, and
men tell us that the homo is the ''woman's
kingdom" We do not ask kingdom,
but should demand half one as our d.
vine right
have great faith in the inherent good
ness of mankind, but greater one in the
goodness of woniank ind, and | want to see
this goodness brought into the nation as a
vote. And better, want to see men put
us there that we may at last give to them
the title of Just as their very own.
We must learn, sisters one and all, the
great lessons that this crusade has been
preparing for us page by page, verse by
verse, to place no faith in any political
party but the one that aims at national
prohibition and to not trust that out -four
sight, but to march with it straight to the
ballot box and to cast our vote i'll with it,
casting it as we pray in faith and trust,
knowing that we have well done our part
and all the rest is Gods. We must learn
to uplift all womankind through the bal
lot, for it is the lioness who defends her
motherhood high and low that must defend
her young.
There is more than this to say and all to
better say, but let us end with this grand
and to His divine workings the more We
will see and understand how impossible it
becomes to set aside Hi laws of perfect
equality for His children of both sexes,
without doing ourselves, our sisters, our
brothers and our country the greatest of
wrongs.
| Dare we set ourselves above Him in wis
| dom? Yet mankind has done so for CELL
| turies.
| Genesis, first chapter, tells us how Good
created male and female and gave them
dominion over the earth, y and until this is
carried out by law, by letter and in spirit,
no nation can truly prosper.
| "Thou from ON high, perceivest it were better
| All men and women should on earth be free;
| Laws that enslave and tyrannies that fetter.

Both Mr.. Brett and Himself Express Sat
isfaction with Results.
At least 1900 people thronged the Ber-
gen Reformed Church last evening to hear
Evangelist B. Fay Mills preach his closing
sermon. His text was:
Behold 1 stand at the door and knock.-Rev.
ill.,, 20.
Mr.. Mills was intensely in earnest and
exhorted his audience in fervent accents
to lead the life of the Christian.
While Mr.. Mills was speaking about 800
of the regular congregation assembled in
the lecture o and We're led in prayer
by Rev. l.. w. Hathaway of the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian Church. A pathetic
story was told by the evangelist Of his old
family doctor, who deferred joining the
church from day to day until finally in
temperance led to dependency and de-
spondency to suicide. His voice quivered
as he spoke and tears streamed down
many cheek.
When Mr.. Mills completed his sermon
nearly 800 people asked for prayer.
The evangelist then distributed cards
to be inscribed with the name and adj
dresses of those who have attended the
several services, under the words: II de-
sire henceforth to lead a Christian life."
Not a little has the expressive singing
of Mr.. Lawrence Greenwood increased the
effectiveness of the discourses. Like Mr..
Mills. Mr.. Greenwood is heart and soul en-
gagged in the work, and regards it as a
labor of love.
EpMr. r. Mott, their organist, was taken i'll
after the services on Thursday evening,
and wa obliged to retire to his home in
Philadelphia.
When interviewed last evening Evan
gelist Mills expressed himself as much
pleased with the result Of the weeks work.
"We have made hundreds of converts"
he said. Enemies of years have become
reconciled, and / could instance numbers
of interesting cases did not the nature of
my work forbid it,"
ssThe services have been wondrously
successful said Rev. Mr.. Brett, the pas
tor; ssthe number of converts will run into
the hundreds. Tomorrow morning Mr..
Mills will preach to the young people in
the Westminster Presbyterian Church.
He will repeat his sermon at the Bergen
Baptist Church in the afternoon. The
evening services at the same church will
be for young men only, commencing with
d service of song at 7;15.
While Mr.. Mills is preaching to the
young men, Mrs. Isabella G. Davis, whose
work in organizing the society of the
Kings Daughters is so well known, will
conduct services for women at the Bergen
Presbyterian Church.

In mournfully commenting upon the success of recent strikes in England, the New York Times pays the following compliment to our comrades on the other side of the Atlantic: "The Eng fish socialist orators are much better educated and personally much more respectable men than the corresponding agitators on this side of the water; but it does not follow that they are less mis- chievous. On the contrary, the ad- dresses of these sincere and instructed fanatics to London mobs have had much more serious consequences than any result of labor agitations thus far in America" Our Pecksnitfian contempo- rary wisely concludes, therefore, that the bosses did we'll to yield, for the obvious reason that if their wage, slaves remain at work "they will not be in the way of hearing arguments that they have a right to be as we'll off as their neighbors."
 As the modesty of our English con- rades IS only surpassed by their great worth, this recognition of their merits is not likely to give them an attack of '" big head" On the other hand the implied disparagement of American socialists will not greatly affect our sensitiveness. We shall continue to speak, to write, to cogitate and to agi. tate as well as we know how. expecting as a matter of course that the New York Times will continue to carefully abstain from reporting our doings and progress, not because it would be dangerous to place its wealthy readers "in the way of hearing socialistic arguments" but

because what socialists have done and are doing in America is actually of no consequence whatever.
 By the way, was not John Swinton the greatest editor that the Times ever had? Was not Horace Greedy Social ist? Did not Charles A. Dana, the apostate, once profess to be a Fourierist :? Is not Sylvester Baxter as good jour- nalist as the NobodySmith who now pre- sides over the editorial staff of the Times? Is not the Rev. Edward Everett Hale of Boston entitled to figure in the Times directory of the "Respectables ?" Is not Bellamy fairly well "educated 7" man, even by the high standard of Mo- body Smith?

larity every year. When 1t was first put in operation in the smaller cities, some of them were reluctant to accept it, and only few asked for it. Now the de- mand comes from all over the country for it's extension, and it is probable that the Postmaster-Generalw will recommend, as MT. Dickinson suggested in his report of two years ago, that free delivery be given to cities and towns of five thous- and or more population, wherever com- pactness of building and local conditions justify it.. This would extend the ser vice to some 150 or 200 new towns; but as the number of carriers required would not average much above two, the addi- tion to the force in the country would probably not exceed 500. In these smaller places there would probably be two daily deliveries,-one early in the morning and the other about half-past 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Postmaster General Dickinson pointed out in his re- port for 1887 that the smaller towns were as much entitled to this servlce, where the conditions would at all justify it, as the large cities, and such an ex-. tension would undoubtedly add greatly to the popularity of the carrier system and the postal service in every section"
 We are fast coming to general re- cognition of the fact that the experience of the Post Office shows the superior fitness of Government, as compared with individual or corporate enterprise, to. carry out any business, regardless of it's magnitude as whole, or of its minute ness in detail.

armed with pistols, and he (Shevitch) knew it.
 We shall not discuss here the question of legality, It will be time to do that when an indictment shall have been found, if any be found. We shall simply to-day remind the World, and the New York press generally, and the District Attorney in particular, that no indictment has yet been found against the police who, at the first meeting above referred to, violated the law, the Constitution of the State and the Con- stitution of the United States.
 We know of men who are still suffer- ing from the murderous blows inflicted by policemen under the command of Captain Reilly on that occasion. We know of at least one who has been maimed and disabled for life.
 A voluminous statement of all these facts, duly corroborated by affidavits and other documents, was two years ago placed in the hands of the District Attorney by the able and fearless lawyer, Thaddeus B. Wakeman. What has been done with it? Will anything ever be done with it? If the police can stand an indictment for it's conduct at Union Square, Shevitch can surely stand an indictment for his utterances at Cooper Union.
 The HOrld, perhaps, had these facts in view when after foaming and shout ing "sedition" it concluded+hf !after all, certain freedom of speecA must be granted under our system." So had the New York Herald, who on the same day observed:
 "Dont arrest the New York anarchists. Let them alone and they'll talk them selves to death. There is nothing that hurts the feelings of a professional blatherskite more than to be ignored"
 We are quietly waiting for develop ments.
