HuMeuooINo THE SOCIALISTS.
The Tactics of Empsror William towards

The Tactics of EmpsrOr William towards
Germsn Socialists.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The fact that 1000
Socialists were allowed to meet openly
in Berlin, and that Herr Bebel was al.
lowed to address them for two hours,
is an indication of the Relation which.
under the young Emperor William and
since Prince Bismarck's fall, has been
made in the administration of the anti
Soci alist laws The conclusion must
not be arrived at too hastily, however,
that an era of perfectly free speech has
dawned upon Germany.
The fact is that a complete under
standing existed in advance between
Herr Bebel and the police as to what
the substance of his address was to be;
otherwise it was improbable that the
meeting would have been allowed to
take place at all.
The speech, accordingly, was a very
moderate one, and it is being referre d
to with great complaisance by the gov
eminent organs as proving the wisdom
and farseeing craftsmanship of the EN-
peror, who by policy of leniency to-
ward the Socialists and of solicitude
for the welfare of the working classes
has inspired even the arch Socialist
Bebel to place confidence in the govern
ment's good intentions.
This is a trife exaggerated, but it is
near enough to the truth to pass we'll
with the admirers of the Emperor. The
meeting, after listening to Herr Bebel's
address. resolved unanimously to defer
all further meetings and all newspaper
polemics until after the International
Socialistic Congress, which meets at
Halle in October.

THE NAVAL MANGUvRES.


ADMIRAL Seymour Stll at LRrge-The
Change IN Naval Tactics.
LONDON, Aug 27,-Sir Michael Culme-
demonstrated to his own satisfaction in
the naval man9uvres just closed that
he could, with his portion of the fleet
break the lines of the defending squad
rons under Admiral Sir George Tryon,
he put to sea, for the purpose it is be-
lieved of determining how long it
would take his supposed foreign fleet
to overhaul and disable the principal
English merchant liners while the
home fleet were recovering from the
effects of their engagement with the
enemy.
These maneuvres differed slightly
from preceding events of the kind, in
that they were largely devoted to as
certaining how far away from a coast
the leviathVns of modern naval con-
struction can prudently conduct hos
Utilities, in reasonable security from the
torpedo boats with which nearly all the
continental maritime powers are eff
GENTLY supplied.
In other words, England would pre-
fer to draw her enemy ont as far as
possible to the open sea, having con-
6dence to win victory apart from the
lurking dangers on an enemy's coast
dangertto which the slow moving, coal
consuming monsters of the fleet are
especially liable.
These man9uvres are considered
much more practical and sensible than
the sham attacks on coast towns in
CIR at Britain and Ireland which, while
Electrically attractive, were but slight
instruction to the sailors and were at
tended by a series of blunders.

Cardinal Newman
John Boyle O'ReiIIy,

In the death of these two great men
the world feels that it has lost two in
tellectual giants who were endowed
with something like supernatural ge-
MUS. Their whole lives were spent in
irving to better the condition of their
fellow men, yet they met with fierce
opposition from the very ones they
tried to serve. When will poor, weak
human nature try to reverse the order
of things and give credit to men while
they are living As 1t is with nations
No it is with great concerns like the
Waterbury Furniture Co, which is do
ing everything in an honorable way to
benefit the people, buying goods by
the carload in order to make the man
ufacturers pay the freight and thus
save our customers large percentage.
OF course WE ARE NOT PERFECT.
The Waterbury Furniture Co has its
dark spots, so HAS THE SUN. Com
petition and opposition make us like
the diamond-THE MORE WE ARE
RUBBED THE BRIGHTER WE
SHINE. The more we are pushed the
harder we work to please our custom
ers. Take for instance, our beautiful
Quaker" Jr Range, all furnished com
plete for $25, that other dealers are
compelled to charge $50 for. 1t makes
us smile when We see how happy we
are making the young couples who are
getting married. The young men all
wish they had got married sooner when
they price our goods and find how far
a little money will go in furnishing a
home.
In conclusion we most respectfully
thank the New York Sun" and other
Metropolitan papers, as we'll as the
Hartford "Times," the New Haven
Palladium" and otner state papers for
publishing our productions. Good,
healthy, reading is what the people
ought to have and we will continue to
give it to them.

might not legally withhold rents, but
the man who paid rent and left his

PARIS, Aug. 27.--The railway CON
pany which is making desperate efforts
to secure from the Swiss government a
right of way mp the famous Matterhorn,
is meeting with an equally earnest op-
position from people who regard the
proposal as one of dissertation. Though
the excuse for the railway is that it
would accommodate tourists, the chief
opposition to the scheme comes from
that very class, who argue that the
picturesqueness and healthfulness of

with the advent of railways.

MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK,
81 AND 80 WALL ST., N. Y.

LOANS PAYABLE IN INSTALLMENTS
A shareholder in the Mercantile Co.
operative Bank may borrow in INSTALL
ments. If he does not own real estate suf-
ticient to pledge the loan, and owns lot,
wishing to build upon it he can take shares
and apply for loan, drawing the loan as
his building progresses.
For instance, suppose that a man holds
shares, he is entitled to apply for a loan
of $1,000, as the maturity value of his
shares is 81 900. If he owns a lot worth
say $500, and wishes to build home upon
it for say, $1,000, he can apply fora loan
of 81 900, and will get $500 as the first in
stallment on his $500 lot With that $500
he can commence building, and on the ex-
penditure of that amount, his lot will be
worth 500 and he can borrow another in
stallment on furnishing the bank a certi-
ticate from the architect, builder or con-
tractor of such expenditure, and so from
time to time as the building progresses
he can draw his installments, as he needs
them, so that on the completion
of the building, he will have his full 81 900
loan, and the bank will have first mort
gage on the property, which will then be
worth 81 400, and ample security for the
money borrowed.

Enlarging New York City.

The bill creating commission to
inquire into the expediency OF Mr..
Andrew H. Green's scheme for the
consolidation of the towns in this
vicinity, so as to form a greater New
York, has passed the assembly and is
now in the senate. Mr.. Green's sound
theory is that all the municipalities
about the port of New York should
make up one great town, in order that
the development OF these water priv
ileges should be more harmonious than
it is now. The present division OF
authority produces confusion
and causes much needless expense.
This port is the center of population.
of about 100000, and it is growing
at the rate of something like one
third every ten years. The popula-
ton of the main town is today in the
neighborhood of 100000; Brooklyn
contains about $4,000 people, Jersey
City has about 10000 inhabitants,
and Long Island City, Hoboken,
Staten Island, Yonkers, and the other
towns and villages of the vicinity are
all growing as rapidly as Western
settlements who have most reason
for boasting of their progress. Yet
this population is divided up and
parcelled out among two States, four
cities and six counties. Nowhere in
the world is there a more naturally
homogeneous community. Ithas the
same interests and is really one in
sentiment and political aspiration.
Yet it is stupidity governed by con-
fiicting municipal machines that
stand in the way of it's healthful and
orderly progress.-New York Sun.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-05-15
MERCENARY LEGISLATURES.

If the charges, openly made by the
New York Herald against the legisla-
ture of that State, are true, it is one
OF the most corrupt bodies that ever
met. The Herald asserts that the bill
abolishing capital punishment was
railroaded through the lower house of
assembly by rich electric light COM
pany, and the unanimity with which
it passed that body indicated the ex-
tent Of the bribery among the mem
bers. If one-half of what is charged
is true, then majority Of these mer-
cenary,faithless legislators ought to
be in the penitentiary. According to
the Herald the infamous boodleism OF
New,York aldermen has been trans
ferred to the legislature in making a
sort of second edition of Tweedism,
and honesty among legislators the ex-
ception, rascality the rule.
But it is always easy to make
charges, another thing to prove them,
and the Herald has failed in its duty
to the public as well as justice to the
assemblymen to print the proofs and
call names. If the evidence
was not at hand, then the Herald had
no right to brand the legislators with
bribery, corruption and theivery. Ac-
cording to this way of doing things
the legislature of any state can be
blackened whenever it fails to do just
as some disgruntled editor wants it
to do. True, this is free country,
and it is one OF the privileges of the
great American citizen to denounce
and anathematize those in authority,
but there should be limit beyond
which the citizen will find himself in
the domain OF criminality.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-05-15
THE NI'KINLEY BILL.

The manner in which this measure
has been launched in the house in
dicates that the party in supremacy
mean to rush it through with only a
few hours debate, whereas two years
ago the Democrats allowed two or
three weeks on the Mills bill.
If the purpose by such hasty action
is to cover the defects or any particu-
lar jobs that may be hidden in the
bill, Mckinley and his coadjutors will
find them selves mistaken. The people
are watching this important measure
which raises instead of reducing i'm
port taxation, and no hoodwinking
will prevent their seeing into it and
acting on their knowledge when
lection day comes round again.
But there is little doubt of the final
passage of this bill. The Democrats
need not shed any tears over it. The
Mckinley bill, if passed in its present
form, will throw the next house into
the hands OF the Democrats and the
tariff reformers.

AsoLIsH1NG CAPITAL. PUNISHMENT.

ABOLISHING CAPITAL, PUNISHMENT.
The New York Star denounces the
movement in the legislature of that
State for the abolition of capital pnn-
ISL ment, and which seems to have
been successful enough to pass the
lower house OF assembly. This looks
like a step backward for New York.
Abolition of the death penalty would
simply be turning the criminal classes
loose upon society in New York or in
any other State. 1t would be the I'M
claiming OF the hyena-the unhang-
ing of the panther. II it is difficult
task to control the Grimm ii classes
with the sight of the gallows and the
rope or the death-dealing electric
machine. How shall crime be pre-
vented without this powerful agency
originally instituted by Deity and
promulgated by Moses'
Instead of doing away with the
death penalty we need more of it, not
only in, New York but throughout the
country. We could stand little
more of it in Texas where capital
punishment has been practically
abolished by juries, being given the
option between the gallows and the
penitentiary, and:besides the commu-
tation and pardon business. If New
York abolishes the death penalty who
can walk the streets of the metropolis
feeling that the law protects him
from the sneaking assassin
