PERSONAL RIGHTS.

Every police official, many journalists and some judges that we could name ought to paste in their hats the follow ing extract from the letter addressed last Sunday by Judge Murray F. Tuley to the Turner Societies of Chicago;
 The preservation of personal rights and the maintenance of liberty" are convertible terms. Just so far as an in dividual is deprived of his personal rights. just to that extent is he in slav- cry. Every law which directly or indi- rectly forbids the exercise of or abridges a mans personal rights" deprives him to. that extent of his liberty. When such abridgement is not for the benefit

of all the people it becomes an unjust and tyrannical legislation,
 But the danger to liberty is not so much from unequal or tyrannical legis lation as it is from the usurpation-by ofiicers--of powers and authority not granted by the law. When Gas in this city of Chicago the police arrest on bare suspicion and without warrant persons not found in the act of violating the law; when the police undertake to determine who shall and who shall not meet in open public assemblage to dis cuss political or economic questions; when (after one hundred years of liberty in this country q citizen is arrested without warrant, confined to prison cell for eight long days Ca recent case in connection with dynamite find at the Iaymarket monument), and is prevent ed from communicating with his friends, denied the privilege of consultation with his legal adviser, and is not even in- formed of the nature of the acusation against him; and when, in answer to a judicial mandate, the door of his prison cell is opened, and the officers of the law are required to show cause "why this violation of the citizens rights" the chief executive officer of the police makes return to him, to this free mans writ of habeas corpus, that he arrested this citizen upon the letter of an unknown party and detained the citizen in prison while trying to find such unknown party-''a returu," the like of which never before disgraced the records of civilized country; when trial by newspaper" s substituted for trial by jury' when upon almost every article of food, of drink and of clothing a fictitious price is made by means of unlawful trusts and combina- tions--it is tune, say, not only "to call halt" but also to establish "personal rights leagues in every school district, in every county, in every State of this Union.

results end with him, or in his small immediate circle?" A critic might say that it was the cynicism ci success that has made Dr. Faxon Il Nationalist. Here is a man who has not merely acquired, but has studied the methods of acquire ment, and has come gradually, not jumped, as many poorer men do, 10 the conclusion that while it Is necessary and justitiable, so long as the present iniqui- tous system exists, for man to obtain goods and chattels in as honorable method as possible. it is, after all. a poor way for an immortal soul to be spending its time. even if it has eternity as bank account to draw upon; and, on the other hand, if man is to have no conscious life hereafter, it is a foolish way of squandering ones pittance of existence, to devote ones self entirely to the heaping up of riches for others not so moderate or so sensible to have the spending of. The intense practical ity of this man, his knowledge of men, gained as surgeon in the army, and in the ordeals of many town meeting in lively town, as well as his deep belief in the fundamental ethics of Nationalism, make him man for the position of pre- sident, to which the First Club has re. gently elected him. Dr. Faxon, it should be added, is man of well.nigL national acquaintanceship, being doubtless known by sight to thousands of Army of Poto- mac men, as he was surgeon in charge of the depot hospital of the 9th army corps, which hospital he organized at Fredericksburg in 1864, and of which he continued the head till the close of the war. He is also writer of marked abi- lity, and is governor of the National Sailors Home at Quincy.

Part of the sermon preached by Mir B. F. DeCosta last Sundays,in reference to the "Citzens" might have been mis- taken for quotation from the WORK MEMS ADVOCATE. The extent, he said, to which moral ideas are obscured by our immoral surroundings, lis illus trated by the fact that committee of ecclesiastcs who felt called upon to re- form our city government invited first of all for this work the cooperation of the class of men who,t more than all others, represent the criminality of New York, and who, above all others, are responsible for the poverty. the oppres- sion, and the miserable condition of the people; men whose gambling operations would produce, if it were possible, fifty. two black Fridays in the year. :.

make arid land productive it may be said that for the sandy soil of Egypt 17s inches have been found sufficient; for the heavier soil of India l9t inches are required, l6t of which are supplied by irrigation. The records at Santa Fe show l0.S2 inches to be the average rainfall during the period when the crops need water. Making due allowance for eva poratlon and absorption, it is calculated that 10, 40 inches need to bc supplied by irrigation. Contrary to the prevailing belief it has been stated on scientific authority, after many years of study, that "whereever there is soil in these regions it is rich in the primary eIe- ments of fertility" These undertakings to supply the one thing needful-water-- are therefore obviously of great signi- ticance.
