with Heber Newton AS President.
At well attended meeting in the Sun
day school room of All Soulss Church
at Madison avenue and Sixty sixth street
on Saturday night the Society of
Christian Socialists" was formed
"What we propose to do" is set forth
in a programme drawn up by Heber
Newton and substantially similar to that
of the Boston society. 1t proposes:
Ito call upon the clergy to preach
the " gospel of wealth until the money
making power shall be held by society
10 It's true responsibility as a social func-
tion, and the force of public opinion
shall exact c. it the discharge of this
trust, not in charity, but in justice.
2-lG call upon the churches to enlist
their members in the study of our social
problems and in works Of social reform
as a part of their religion. 10 further
! the formation Of classes and societies for
this study, and work in connection with
| the churches.
3-To aid the educating society upon
| this subject by meetings, literature, etc.
Ito act as occasion may demand IN
accordance with our principles by medi-
ating between classes in our community
and by bringing into closer sympathy
the Church and social reformers,
J-To work for special measures OF
reform as may be practicable: industrial
education, shortened hours of labor, I'M
proved conditions Of labor, contro
or ownership by the city, State. OF
nation of natural mOnopolles, and the
reassertion of the underlying right o
the commonwealth over land in the in
terests of the people at large.

labor. In some instances the proportion
going to labor is much greater than
these ratios indicate. Labors share of
product has increased relatively to that
retained by capital. Prices have de-
clned to The consumer. Labor's money
wage increases, and indirectly it gains
through the enhanced purchasing power
Of his money. Notwithstanding all these
things, however, there is more OF dis
content than ever before. This is be-
cause the laborer has been raised in the
social scale. He has become a man with
the aspirations and hopes Of man.
Taken from his place in the industrial
machine of which he forms part, he
becomes almost incapable of self.support
and liable to pauperlsm. Hence, pauper-
ism is a greater social evil than ever
before, and the true labor problem is
really to enlarge the labOrer's opportun-
ity to increase his wealth, and thus
protect him tro;n the dangers accom-
panN ing the social progress in which he
has shared.
To this Socialism offers no solution. 1t
contains two radical errors: one is that by
changing mans environment you may
Clldnge lle man, ana lne OllST lndl ny
redistribution of wealth you can per.
manently better the condition of the
masses. The true solution is in increas-
ing the social wants Of the laborer, en-
larging his opportunity to devote time to
other things than toll, and advancing
his wages, thereby increasing his capac-
ity as consumer, and correspondingly
increasing production, by thus enlarging
the market upon which production de
pends for its reward. An enlightened
political economy ceases to regard the
laborer merely as an impersonal factor
in production and here Christianity joins
with it in developing the individual and
reforming society from within outward.
| The Christian minister may aid in the
solution of the labor problem by enforc-
ing the gospel of justice and equity
between men and by intoxicating the
spirit of Christianity, which transforms
the man, and bring about an improve
ment of the individual, which elevates
him to higher social state.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1890-03-08

The address was heartily applauded.
A clergyman expressed the wish that
Mr.. Wadlin would disseminate these
facts" among the laboring classes by
publishing them in the Boston Herald,
which would reach so many of them.
This same Herald, few days ago,
carefully abstained from publishing in
its first morning edition, which alone
goes among the workingmen, a reply of
Edward Everett Hale to Minot J. Sa-
wages attack against Nationalism. But
in the present instance it made haste to
publish Mr.. Wadlin's facts, some Of
which we shall here examine briefly.
/. In relation to the share of labor in
its product Mr.. Wadlin, by making a
dry comparison of 1860 with 1880, with
out the necessary comments, stated half
the truth, which is more deceptive than
a square lie. BY comparing all decades
from 1850 to 1880, we find that the share
of the labor engaged in manufacture in
Massachusetts, was 58 per cent of its net
product in 1850; that it fell to Al per cent
IN 1860; ttat under the great impulse gi-
ven to manufacturing industry by the
war, it rose rapidly and was still "a per
cent? in 1870; but that it fell not less rapidly
during the following crisis, and although
it recovered somewhat in 1880, which was
year OF great activity, it was only 81 per
cent in that year, or 6 per cent less than
in 1850.
| 2. We find that the share of that la
| Dor in its gross product, that is, in the
total value of its manufactures, was 26
per cent in 1850; % per cent in 1860; 2l
per cent in 1870, and 20 per cent in 1880,
or, again, 6 per cent less than in 1850.
3. We find that the average share of
each Massachusetts establishment in the
net product of the manufactures of that
state was IS, 100 in 1850; $l4, 500 in 1860;
SIC, 500 in 1870, which was year of un-
hated prices and $4,000 in $780, 1t
must furthermore be observed that,
while the number of establishments in
creased from $3.50 in 1850 to 1850 in
1880, the actual number of owners is
probably less - IS in the case of farms
throughout New England; so that the
actual average share of each boss has
increased in a much greater ratio than
the above figures indicate.
4. We find that the average earnings
of each worker were $233 per year in
1850; that they rose only to $3.50 in 1860,
while the share of each " boss" had risen
from $500 to $14,5OO; that, VI Ter the
conditions already mentioned, the wage
workers earnings increased TO 1922 in
1870, but rapidly declined and were
1864 in the active year 1880.
8. We find that the increase of rent
alone absorbs a large portion of the in
crease of earnings; that many neces

THE JOURNALISTS.
National Editorial Convention Invited
to Meet Here.

The national editorial convention is
now in session in Boston. Its usual
time of meeting is in September, but it
so happened that this year the G. A. r.
are to meet in that city in that month,
and the executive committee of the asso-
citation therefore suddenly and on short
notice changed the time of meeting to
June. Had it not been for this unex-
pected change in time the Southern Cal
lfornia Editorial Association would have
been represented by delegates in the
convention this year, and they would
have done all in their power to induce
it to hold its convention next wear in
Los Angeles
Under the circumstances the next
best thing was done. Yesterday Colo
mel James j. Ayers, president of our local
association, telegraphed to the chairman
OF the convention a pressing invitation
to select this city for it's next years
place of meeting, assuring him that all
the courtesies would be extended to the
members of the convention, and that
they would be received in right royal
style.
This dispatch was supplemented by
one from Mr.. H. T. Hazard, the mayor,
in which the convention was cordially
and officially invited to accept the hos
pitalities of our city.
No answer has been received as vet to
these dispatches.

Verein Hall.
A Successful Display of Fancy
Articles.
The Close of the Contests Set for
Tonight.
An Inquest on an Old Lady-A Former
Deputy Sheriff Arrested-Other
Items of Local Interest.

The financial success of the st. Vim
cents bazar, now in progress at the
Turn Verein hall, in aid of the Sisters
school, still hangs in the balance, and as
the fair closes tonight, it only remains
with those who feel disposed to lend
kindly hand to the cause of charity, to
make use of this opportunity afforded
them OF doing so. AS a social affair it
has been an unquestioned success; but
this alone does not, unfortunately, con-
stitute the object it was hoped to attain.
The attendance last night showed a
slight decrease as compared with that of
Thursday evening, but this was undoubt-
edly due to the fact that no special pro-
gramme had been arranged for the enter
tainment of the visitors. The defect.
however, will in all probability be
remedied this evening, so there can be
no cause for complaint on that score.
What was lacking in numbers last
night was made up in iberality, iudg-
ing from the busy aspect of the booths
IN general, and especially those at which
liquid and solid refreshments were dis
pensed. This was particularly noticea-
pie at the soda-water, tea and coffee,
1ce-cream and lechi-conpinoli booths,
which were almost surrounded by Gus
toners
The contests attracted considerable at
tentlon, and at intervals the voting was
quite exciting, but as all the polls close
this evening a rush is confidently ex-
pected. At II last night canvass
OF the ballots showed the various con-
tests to be as follows:

WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
The Arrest of Former Deputy
Constable

S. H. Adams, dentist, was arrested
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon by
Officer Farmer, on warrant charging
him with having arrested John Cotti,
an Italian saloon-keeper, without any
legal authority for SO doing but was re-
leased subsequently on depositing bonds
in the sum of $50 to insure his appear
ance for trial when wanted.
Cotti rented saloon on the corner of
Buena Vista and Walters streets from
Mrs. Mary G. Adams, the dentists wife,
but recently transferred his business,
and in moving his property disturbed
wooden partition in the saloon, which
Adams claimed as part OF his wife's
property. AS Cotti refused to acknowl
edge that the partition belonged to the
premises. Adams exhibited a deputy
constable's badge and placing his
wife's tenant under arrest, marched
him up to the county jail and preferred
a charge of grand larceny against him.
AS the property in dispute was only
valued at $15, Cotti was subsequently
charged with petit larceny, but on hear
ing the facts in the case Justice Lock-
wood, before whom he was taken, dis
charged the Italian. Cotti then made
an investigation and discovered that
Adams had been sworn in as deputy
by Constable Fred G. Smith for few
days only, and that the authority with
which he had been vested had been sub
sequently withdrawn The dentist
therefore was not entitled to wear the
official badge which he displayed and
Cotti swore to the complaint on which
Adams was arrested

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Preparations of the Roads for the
Fourth of Tuly.

Preparations OF the Roads tor the
Fourth Of July.
Both the Santa Fe and Southern Pa
citic railroads have arranged for round
trip tickets on the Fourth of July at
single-trip rates. The Santa Fe will run
on the Fourth two special theater trains
for the benefit and accommodation Of It's
suburban passengers. One train will
leave here at. 10 :45 in the evening after
the theater is out. 1t will arrive at San
Bernardino at :l5 a. M, and at River
side at | 80 a. m. The other special
will leave Santa Ana at $50 p. m., ar
irving here at :45, and returning, leave
at 10 AS p. m., arriving at Santa Ana at
midnight.
Henry Steer, the travelling passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, returned
yesterday from trip over the southern
connections of the line for the purpose
of advertising the celebration which is
to be given in this city on the Fourth.
He states that from the talk he heard in
various places it is probable that great
many people will visit Los Angeles on
the day of the celebration.
A recent issue of the Pasadena Star
says:
From statements made by those in a
position to know, it may be accepted as
pretty certain that the plans of the
owners of the Cross road involve the
purchase OF the Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena road, the extension of the l.. A. p.
u G. across the Los Angeles river to a
connection with that line, and the
changing of the Glendale branch from
narrow--gauge to a broad-gauge. To
carry the last-named project out, the
point of departure for the Glendale line
will be changed to DeCamp. Whether
the extension of the road at this end is
a part of the general scheme or not, is
not known, but it is quite probable that
the matter of running up the Canada
valley or up the Arroyo to be ready to
meet the coming Carson and Colorado
road is seriously discussed. From in
formation coming from Captain Aims
worth it is known that the project of
bringing road through the Arroyo
Seco pass is not dead by any means, but
quite alive.

AN INQUEST.
The Sudden Death of Mrs. Sophia
Hudson.


Hudson.
Coroner Meredith held an inquest yes
terday upon the body of Mrs. Sophia
Hudson, a native OF Maine, rs years of
age, who died suddenly during the night
of Thursday last at her residence, No.
729 South Olive street. From the testi-
mony adduced it was learned that Mrs.
Hudson had been very low for some
time past, and, as she was subject to
heart disease, her death was considered
probable at almost any moment. She
was, however, somuch better than usual
on Thursday night that it was not
thought necessary for any one to sit up
in attendance on her, and her son and
his family retired. At O'Clock yester-
day morning her son went to his
mothers room, as was his custom before
going to work, and to his sorrow found
that she was dead. The jury, on learn
ing these facts, returned a verdict of
death from natural causes.

Court.

The Deposition of Juana Rias Read in
Court.
The Weyse divorce case was called be-
fore Judge Wade yesterday morning,
but owing to the absence of an attorney
for the defense, the case was continued
until half-past o'clock in the afternoon,
at which time the deposition of Juana
Rias was read, and its points argued
over at considerable length. The deposit
tion stated that Juana Rias was 90 years
OF age ana was acquainted with both the
plaintiff, Mrs. Weyse, and her husband.
She had visited them on College street
when Mrs. Weyse was sick about four
years ago, and was present when quar-
rel took place. She was SO ashamed
that she left before the end of the quar-
rel had been reached. While she was
there Weyse came in and gave Mrs.
Weyse powerful blow in the face with
his hand. Mrs. Weyse was lying down
at the time. On another occasion about
a year ago, at about midnight, she was
awakened by Mrs. Weyse calling to her.
She went out and found Mrs. Weyse
excited and trembling. Mrs. Weyse said
she had been whipped by her husband
seven times and she was not going to
stand it any more.
The court adjourned at O'Clock until
this morning, when the taking of testi-
mony will be commenced.
