TIE NEW COLORs.

There ale only sizty-six shades in the
color card for the coming winter season.
The favorite now seems to be helio,rope,
with blue second and some charming
browns struggling for third place.
Among the entirely new shades are vcr-
veine, medium hcliotrope, dauphin, a
dark rcseda, maroquin, a light brown :;
bluet, light blue, and triton, a very
pretty blush gray Dattis is a rather
trying color, being cross between olive
and sulphur yellow. There are eight
shades Of hcliotrope, dahlia being the
darkest, pcrse the li9htest, and salomo
having blush tint more appropriate for
summer than winter wear.
Bluet promises to be the favoritc
among the blues, although marine is in
active demand, and "a new grayish.blue
shade called liboiule will be much worn.
Among reds the light coquelicot and
dark grena are already favorites. Rose
and azalec are making new friends. The
only novelty is pivoine, medium red
rather trying to most complexlous. -

CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST RE-
VOLT,

Interesting and significant things have
been taking place within the Christian
Socialist camp. The Christian Socialist
Society was organized early this year
with DR.. Heber Newton as President,
and a large number of very earnest min
listers and laymen as members. Soon,
however, DR.. Newton began to show
the cloven hoof. lie had it so arranged
that no meeting could be called but by
himself or by the executive committee;
he managed things in such way that
no meeting whatever was called of the
society, for agitation or otherwise, while
he himself, in the company of two ves-
trymen and other Wall street black.
legs. started their "Citizens" move
ment. DR.. Newton never expected
but that the Christian Socialist
Society would keep quiet and let him
run the concern to the satisfaction of
boodledom. But it happened other
wise. The honest socialists in the or
ganization rose in revolt. About four
weeks ago twenty six of them signed
letter addressed to DR.. NeRton and de-
manded that without delay he call
meeting of the society to elect delegates
to the Convention of Labor and Ma
tionalist Organizations at Cooper Union,
hat and not the Citizens being, as
me letter declared, the only body
with which Christian Socialists could
in decency join. Newton did not
even answer the letter. There
upon the signers of the letter
called a meeting for last Tuesday. The
full case was stated the conduct of
Citizen" Newton was laid bare; a COM
mittee was appointed to visit the officers
of the Society, ascertain their intentions
and report at next meeting; and de-
legation consisting of DR.. Raymond and
Mrs. Dewey were elected delegates to
the Labor Convention at Cooper Union,
with instruction that they join hands
with the workingmen toward the aboli-
ton of the wage and competitive and
the substitution of the cooperative sys-
tenn in their places.

The Miners.
Sec'y pro tenn.

The next trade to try for an eight.
hour work day will be the miners
Their association, the United Mine
Workers of America, has begun prepara-
tions to enforce the new rule on May /,
1891. This association includes both open
trades unions and local assemblies of the
knights of Labor, and its Executive
Committee will have charge of the fight.
Mr. Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, received
a circular from the Executive Com
mittee last week. 1t says that these men
work so long in the bowels of the earth
that the result is inevitably physical
disability and decay; and that the pre-
sent system, consisting entirely either
of famine or feast, of too much work
or none at all, should be equalized by
the adoption of the eight hour system.
The circular reads further:
"Inasmuch as we have been nominal
ed by the American Federation of Labor
as the next trade to be appointed by
them to make the eight hour demand,
we hereby notify the proper official of
the Federation that we have decided
upon April 30, 1891, as the last day of
the present system, and also notify the
General Executive Board of the Knights
of Labor that we are ready to avail our
selves of the advantages of the General
Assembly granted at the Atlanta session
TO any trade nominated by the Fedora
tion for the Inauguration of the eight
hour day. And now having made our
demands, we call upon all miners every.
where to make no contract which will
prevent the consummation of this plan
for May /, 1891

| found to be workingmen from trades
organizations which for one reason or
another prefer to lie low and not be
known to take official action in politics,
or whose leaders are so far gone in Tam
many, Citizens, Republican, or other
Doodle parties that the organization can
take no action. Most interesting at this
moment are the 9th and 18th Assembly
District organizations, of which James
Hurley and Tom Doyle are members
respectively. The 9Th has reputation
of long standing for independence and
vigor, James Hurley, as an old resi-
dent, knows this, and he is stirring the
waters of that pond in way that will
be felt in November and will send
chill down the backs of "Archi- DOODLE
dom" generally; while on the other
hand the 18th is notorious for being a
cesspool of the worst stripe of politicians,
and is enlisting the full watchfulness of
Tom Doyle in keeping that gentry out
and attracting the decent element in.
Thus a healthy, but not noisy, agitation
is going on throughout the city for the
labor campaign. The work will be
found to have been done in good shape
in the 22d, where the Archi-boodler
himself resides and is thoroughly known
inside and out, 50 much 50 as to have
forced him into alliance with the black
legs of the Stock Exchange who are try
ing to hoodwink the people with their
false pretenses, and upon whose credu
lity the dull witted Archi-booder has
been able to play, leaving the impress
sion that he is great leader with
great following, whereas he neither is
leader, great or otherwise, nor has any
following outside of the bakers dozen
that constitute his local assembly.
While this is the progress in the
workingmen's districts, even the 21st
Assembly, the "brown-stone" district, is
chipping in its mite, thanks to such
earnest workers as Miss Chevaillier, who
by word and pen in stirring up sense
of duty among the residents of her dis
trict that cannot fail to have telling
effect upon the campaign.
"The convention that meets on Thurs
day promises to be sufficiently represen-
tative to authorize it to proceed upon
its work. Soon as it opens the campaign
the field will begin to clear up all
around"

The officers of this company are r. P.
Bell. president; w. J. Perry, secretary;
w. P. Tams, treasurer; J. Mason Miller
and VIM. Patrick, directors. The di-
rectory may be increased at the option
of the company.
There are 35 members composing the
Staunton Land Company, who are also
stockholders OF the Staunton Develop
ment Company. Their object is to pur-
chase lands by individuals who were
willing, through their organization to
advance the money necessary to make
the payments and secure the lands. This
is simply what the Land Company has
done. The land purchased by the Land
Company has been turned over to the
development Company without a dollar
advance or profit, the members of the
Land Company receiving in return the
stock of the Development Company at
par, and advancing all the cash pay
ments necessary to secure the lands.
There has been no mystery or secret
about the matter. 1t is a simple bust
ness method which has been pursued by
all land companies, and which has
worked no detriment to the Develop
ment Company, but which has given
them the benefit of money which they
did not have, and which was simply adj
vanced by the Land Company to be re-
paid in stock of the Development Com.
pany. By this plan individuals and
promoters of the Development Company
are relieved of the responsibility of a
chance of failure or loss; the Land Com
pany, as an organization, assumes all
the responsibility. If it is asked where
their profit is in doing such business, it
is stated in reply that it is just what in
dividual promoters would receive, only
with it all the responsibilities are trans
ferred to the Land Company organiza
