SOCIALISTIC CONVENTION.
Their Ranks Gradually Swelling With the
Scum of Large Cities.

CHICAGo, Sept. 30-At the convention
of the sOcialistic labor party today reports
were received FROM a number of sections
throughout the country, showing that the
membership was slowl y increasing. The
secretary read a report, reviewing the
troubles between the New York factions,
which has eliminated in the suspension
of four members of the national executive
committee. These four claim they were
illegally suspended and that they are the
only real national executive of the party.
The convention now in session is under
their auspices and in all probability an

THE Manchester Mirror reports that it
is receiving letters of inquiry from people
outside the state rs to deserted farms in
New Hampshire, not few asking if there
will locate thereon, some reople at least
eoneeiving the idea, from the talk made
upon the subject Of late. that such is the
case. The Mirror very properly goes on to
state That there is no land there to he had
for the asking, whether in the shape Of
desert farms or not; but ii assures those
seeking homes, in substance, that with a
little money and due diligence they can
do as well in New Hampshire as anywhere
else Such is undoubtedly the case. More
over it is true that in very many Of our
rural towns. to-day good land. cleared and
fenced, can he had practically for nothing.
That Is to say. there are scores and hum
dreds of farms in the state than can be
purchased for less than the cost Of the
buildings thereon For illustration we
notice the announcement Of the recent sale
of a good farm of 300 acres of land in the
town of Acworth, for the sum of 5000.
This sum would not half pay for the build
ings alone. The land is excellent and the
farm is located but few miles distant
from Charleston and Claremont, the latter
furnishing an excellent market. Nor is
this an exceptional case There are many
good farms in the state to be had at cor
respondingly low prices.

CHICAGO, Feb. G.-Alexander Sullivan, ex-
president of the Irish National League of
America in speaking to day in regard to the
statements made about him by DR.. La Caron
before the Parnel commission in London
yesterday, said that he knew La Caron very
slightly. Tho latter had represented himself
to Sullivan as a F'renchman with au Irish
wife and of most ardent Irish sympathies. lie
claimed to have served in the union army,
and afterwards in the Fenian organization.
Mr. Sullivan believed that there was not
particular of foundation for La Caron's
statements about Parnel's expressions of
sympathy with any method except oUen pub
lie agitation to ald Ireland. The whole story
was another desperate effort to give some
color of excuse for continuing the case
against Parnell.
The Evening News declares that La Caron
served in the union army during the war,
and that botn then and during his connection
with the Fenans he acted as a spy for the
British government He had an Office in
this city on LaSalle avenue, but left for
Europe about Christmas.
