CIxcIySATI. eept 23.-Council No. of the
American branch Of the Irish National Land
League met here this afternoon. The session
was secret, but President John itz<eraId
states that the object was to appoint committees
to meet and care for the coming speakers to ar
rive from Ireland. Notwithstanding the arrests
OF o'Brien and Dillon. Fitzgerald names them
as the coming speakers, along with O'Connor
and Q'Reiily. He does not think their arrests
viii interfere with their trip to the United
Sia'es The council this Afternoon adopted q
resolution referring TO the arrest of Dillon and
o'Brien, in which they say: "Ac,ing within
the scope Of the policy laid down by Parnell and
associates. we renew arnestly and emph stcally
our pledge to meet this new stroke of Ireland's
foreign rulers with earnest activity ana more
liberal support. and exhibit. 10 our American
citizens this latest phase of British brutality as
new proof of English incapacfty to govern
Ireland" The resolutions further sincerely de-
plore the death of John Boyle O'Reiliy.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The, usual standing room sign was
displayed last night at the Bijou on the
occasion Of the opening of The Dear
Irish Boy''-an Irish comedy drama in
FIVE acts. The only soft place in the
performance is an occasional repetition
of the title, for the play is deserving of a
better name. The story of the play is
pretty one, mingling love, villalny and
herOism, and is Ornamented and refined
by beautiful stage settings, and songs,
dances and laughter. The wit and
humor and big heartedness of the Irish
people are subjects that the stage seized
upon and has utilized for centuries, so
that these subjects are old and familiar
to all, but there is still room for such
plays as this one, though not for such
titles as The Dear Irish Boy" The
personnel of the company is very good.
Gus Reynolds, the star, is most salts
factory actor. Teddy O'Nell is good
actor, and sings superbly. Miss Mae
WOrden, whose face strikingly reSem-
bles Miss Syhil Johnston's, is all that
one could wish as an Irish servant glrl.
Harry English, most handsome man
and good actor, played the thankless
part of the villain spleEdidly. The play,
though perhaps trltle long, is enlOya-
bic throughout. Same bill all week.
This evening local audiences will
have their first opportunity to see the
City Club BurlesQue company, which
opens its special engagement at the
Pence opera house. So much has been
said as to the excellence OF this COM
panY, both in the East and in local the
alter circles, that little need be said in
addition to guarantee full house. AS
void Of precaution it is only neceS-
sary to state that seats should be pro-
cured early in the day in advance in
order to obtain one, as the standing
roOm-only sign will be out. There has
already been an immense advance sale.

design compatible with bcnefcence:
that in the differences in society. even
it we leave out all which on the
score of vice should be left out, there
remains vast residue of facts no Spe-
cial pleading can explain away, ana
which are full OF pain and anguish to
large part Of mankind who have to bear
their import. The system under which
we live. and the way we interpret our
duty under the competitive Individual
ism, have made society what we see tia
place in which the persons who ere /
most alert, keen and selfish. or, in some
part of what are usually called
the good things of life, and the dull,
the weak, are left to take care of them
selves; not that we do not provide for
the absolutely helpless, but that those
little above that state are left to look
after themselves. The gospel of the
Christ teaches US a different view Of
life and of duty. In its light we are to
see our fellow man, not because of
his remarkable brightness. or of his
power to take in cash and place \
it at interest, so as to give,
him power over others or the means
of subsistence. The socialism which
we advocate and which the Bible
teaches is that which takes living note
of the fact that the Maker of the world
is God; that He OWNS it, and that He
has given it in trust for the children of
men; so that wealth has responsibility
as well as power, duty as well as the
possibility of enjoyment; that poverty
is not to be looked upon as disgrace or
even degradation, if it be honest; that
man is made in the likeueSs of God
and that he is greater than all kings he
sees; that he. just as well as the proad-
est monarch, has destiny which death
does not END, land which will endure for
ever; that IN the light of mans origin
aud immortality the brotherhood of the
race is a fact, and so love should reign
supreme, and all which is contrary TO it
be done away with. Not i'll the idea of
service of self is our highest good to be
gained, but rather in the Serv-
ice of our fellow man, in the
perfection not of an individual, bu
the race; in making the common good
our personal interest: in understanding
that theories OF repression will not de-
velOp the nobiest qualities of the soul
of any child of man, but rather that
they Will crush out and degrade: or
that warm Christlike love will make
the saddest hearts to bound for JOY.
These principles put into operation will.
as sure as the light of the sun will
dispel darkness. bring to speedy
end some of the most violent and
virulent troubles which now affiict
humanity, and bring in day of
gladness such as now is only dreamed
of by enthusiasts. 1t is not III formal
laws that the regeneration of society
is to be found, but in the producing by
grace in the hearts of men such dispo-
sitionS as shall transform their lives, and
make them at once an incense in sight
of heaven and daily benediction to
their fellow men. This is the Chris
tan socialism which is taught by the
gospel, and desired by the Lest of men.
