Firemon's Union of London, was then introduced. He has been sent to this country to organize his craft in the port of New York, as during the recent strike in England scabs came from the United States to deteat the strikers. The union has large membership in Great Britain, Australia, California and Denmark, and its object is to organize the men em- ployed on ships as we'll as along shore throughout the world. Mir. Reid made an interesting speech, which was lis tened to by the delegates with close at tentlon. They applauded him heartily when he mentioned that, in all proba- bility, there will be a general strike in Great Britain on May 1, 1890, for the purpose of introducing the eight-hour system. The Committee on Organiza- tion was ordered to assist Mir. Reid in organizing the sailors and other ship workers in New York and vicinity.
 The Brewers and Firemen's Unions reported further progress in their nego- tiations with several boss brewers who, it IS said, are willing to leave the pool.
 The delegates of Ale and Porters Unio Mo- reported that the proposed amalgamation with the Ale and Porter Protective Umon had not yet taken place, as the latter refuse to leave the K. of L. In the meantime the former are steadily gaining large numbers of new members. They recommend the brewery of Hawkins & Sons, Forty first street between Eighth and Ninth av- enues, as a strict union brewery.
 All unions desiring to push and pro- tect their label are requested to confer with each other, and elect delegates to find ways and means of advancing their interests. A uniform plan should be proposed to serve the interests of all union labels.
 A discussion of the eight-hour ques- tion was then entered into, during which it was stated that the Gasw ork. CTS in Hull had been recently organized, and introduced the eight-hour day.

PARTY NEWS.

That considerable vigor has been in- fused into the S. L. P. by the legitimate, timely and successful effort of the New York Section to rid it of an impotent and imbecile management, is becoming every day more apparent.
 In this city old comrades who had dropped out in disgust are daily return ing and new ones are enrolling. The utmost activity prevails, and the great meeting held at Cooper Union last week is only prelude to greater demonstra- tions.
 In Chicago an enthusiastic meeting was held on the Northwest Side last Sunday afternoon for the purpose of forming a Section in that part of the city, to be known as the Second German Section of Chicago. Grotkau and Christensen made stirring addresses, and | an organization was effected with Hen- icke as organizer, Langhoff as recording secretary, and Scheidt as financial sec- retary.
 In Paterson, N. J., meeting 'was held on the same day to hear an address by Delegate Ufert, of Union Hill, upon the Chicago convention of Oct. 12. Seventeen of those present joined the reorganized Section, and an appeal was issued inviting all old Socialists and new sympathizers to meet next Friday at Richter's, 8 Fair street.
 At a special meeting of the Buffalo Section, called for the purpose of hear ing Comrade Negendank's statements in relation to past troubles and present conditions, one member only-Comrade Weiss-spoke in favor of the old Execu- tive Committee, and a resolution was adopted Weiss alone voting against it) to recognize the convention of Oct. 12.
 The Boston American Section is doing good work, and will unquestionably next week endorse the convention. The reorganized American Section of Chicago sends five dollars to this office for subscriptions to the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE. Its members are active and practical men, and in spite of the stormy weather its business meeting last Sun day was well attended.
 On the same day the Rosenberg-Mor- gan Section of Chicago resolved to in- vest all its money in American flags We do not say this in fun it is sober news.
 The Syracuse Section, after long and animated discussion, resolved by a unanimous vote to recognize the Chicago convention of Oct. 12. Forty dollars were then appropriated as follows: Twenty dollars to the National Execu- tive Committee, and twenty dollars for the support of the party organs. The money was mailed immediately.

free speech would be tolerated in Eng land. The workingmen of Great Brit ain generally, and the Social Democrats in particular, expect great things from the Labor movement and the Socialists of America. The investments of British capitalists in American industries are full of significance, and Comrade Reid hoped they would compel closer union of the labor interests of both countries for their mutual defence. In conclu- sion he said that if at any time it was deemed desirable to secure the services of Burns or Hyndman on this side of the Atlantic, they would unquestion- ably answer the call and serve the cause to the best of their ability.
 When Comrade Reid had concluded his address, the Section went again into executive session; and after transacting some routine business elected com mittee to visit the English-speaking trade unions and advance the circula- tion of the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE. The Committee on Organization was also empowered to issue subscription lists for the purpose of raising such funds as are necessary to carry out the agitation plans of the Section,

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.

There was ''lots of politics" in the Central Labor Union last Sunday-lots of politics and lots of fun.
 John Doyle, of the Franklin Associa- tion, occupied the chair to the general satisfaction of the delegates present, while Charles Rogers acted as vice. chairman when the necessity called for it.
 The Teutonia Labor Club reported as not being in favor of changing the day of meeting.
 A request made by the Gotham Asso citation of Knife Cutters set the politi- cal turmoil agoing. Their request was that the nomination of Col. k. K. Brown for the Fifth Senatorial District be condemned by the Central Labor Union because he had, as manager of the Daiiy Neacs, refused to accept advertisements from the shirtmakers during their last strike, and thus shown his enmity to Organized Labor.
 Brown was sat upon. He being the Tammany candidate for the above dis trlct, motion was also passed to con- demn the nomination of Col. Murphy, candidate of the County Democracy in the same district. Political matters then came to standstil for while.
 The Whtestone Association of Marble Polishers reported that their men were still on strike, and asked the c. l.. U. to request the c. L. U. of Boston to see to it that no work from New York firms be done there, as the bosses here were determined to send their work to that | place, and in that way wear out the patience of their strikers. This request was most willingly complied with. The Stairbuilders donated $5 to the striking Trunkmakers.
 From the Teutonia Labor Club 6 | communication was read denouncing ill | strong terms the action of the owner of l Beethoven Hall in Fifth street for hay | ing broken his contract with the T. l.. c. because pressure had been brought to | bear upon him by some committee from the c. L. F. A request from this organ lzation that that hall be declared scab hall in consequence of the above action was granted.
 In place of Corresponding Secretary Matthew Barr, resigned, James F. Arch ibald, of the Paperhangers, was elected by exclamation.
 The Worlds Fair Finance Committee had sent a circular to the other Worlds Fair Committees requesting them to have their respective organizations dis play some activity in getting contribu- tions for the Guarantee Fund. Dele gate Warner brought the matter before the delegates, and it was decided forth with to issue call upon all organiza- tions connected with the c. L. U. to take this matter in hand. The secre- tary was furthermore instructed to in sert in this call notification that on Sunday, November F, the question of amalgamating with the c. l.. F. will come up to be decided, and that it would be very necessary for each organ ization to have its full delegation there.
 A communication from some party styling itself Associated Trades" was laid, without reading, upon the table, upon recommendation of the Commit tee on Outside Communications. The letter was Tn bad English, and signed by James Fox, Secretary, 903 Third avenue, and asked the c. L. U. to endorse the

The assessor is making out map of

When he gets it done he had bet
ter file it in his Office as public
document, for the fuse and infor-

requires him, as well as the asses
sors of all the other parishes, to
make complete maps or plats of all
the townships, and a book already
marked and ruled for this purpose
is furnished to each assessor at the
expense of the State, 1t is a mat

that large number of the asses
sors neglect or refuse to perform
their duty in this respect. A little
vigilance, coupled with the austeri-
ty of the law, on the part of our
police jnries would have whole
some effect right here.
