THE RADICAL CLUB"

A valued correspondent requests the publication of the following announce ment:
 Radicals of various schools have been busy for some weeks past organizing a new club. On the evening of May 19, a meeting of the subscribers took place at room 24 Cooper Union, Augustus A. Levey presiding The provisional com mittee reported through it's secretary, F.. A. Mclean, that 135 signatures for membership were obtained, and that the object of the club was to provide rooms to be kept open every day for the social intercourse of radical and liberal people, and to provide for the propa- ganda of radical ideas" Monthly dues, 30 cts.
 The membership of the clubincludes both sexes, Anarchists, Socialists, Ma tionalists, Single Taxers, Free. thinkers
 The meeting indorsed the ideas of the provisionial committee as to the objects of the club. Mrs Marguerite Moore was elected Treasurer, and Mir. E. A. Mclean | l444 Broadway, Secretary. The club
  | ting of seven members, among which the female element is represented by Miss Baldw and Miss Cunz. The other trustees are Messrs Leubuscher, Cham berlain, Foote, Oppenheimer, Silbernik. | The trustees are also to act as Executive and House Committee. A novel departure ill club life is that the Radical Club will have no president, but elect chairman for the occasion, when required.
 The constitution Is also a new depar- tre; it dispenses with regulations and l bylaws, trusting in the common sense and activity of the members and leaving nearly everything to their own initia- | tive.
 It's main provisions are as follows:
 This club shall be known as the Radi- cal Club.
 The object of this club shall be topro- vide rooms, to be kept open for the so- cial intercourse of radical and liberal people.
 Monthly reports shall be printed, un- der direction of the trustees. containing an account of receipts and expenditures, reports from officers, lists of candidates for membership and office, of lectures, debates, &c., and resolutions and other matters upon which it is desired to have the members vote.
 "These reports shall be printed upon writing paper with wide margins, like an Australian ballot, and be sent to the members in duplicate, so that they may indicate their disapproval of any item or name, and return one copy to the Secretary, signed with their names and addresses"
 The monthly reports will develop new and interesting features. Their regular publication Is contemplated. The socialist and nationalist element in the club is quite strong. But it is not intended that any elemeut should try to capture the club, but that the new or ganizaton should form a sort of neutral ground where all radicals and liberals can meet on a basis of perfect equality and fair play. Among the well known members are: T, B. Wakeman, Da- niel De Leon, Augustus A. Levey, Ernest Bohm, Fred. Leubuscher, Hugh O. Pentecost, J. W. Sullivan, Mrs Mar. guerite Moore and Mrs Emma Beekwith of Brooklyn.
 We do not see that any good can come from this new club that the older and better known Manhattan Liberal Club might not accomplish as well. The tendency to multiply in the same city organizations of the same character is
