OHAUTAUQUA.
MEETING OF THE PIERIAN CIRCLE.

MEETING OF THE PIERIAN CIRCLE.
The meeting OF the Chautauquans last
Sunday was the largest and undoubtedly
the most successful the circle has held since
its organization. There were seven new
members initiated and out of a roll of forty
eight members there were but three alb
.sentees. caused by illness. 1t was bust
ness meeting from start to finish and justly
deserved the high eulOgiums passed upon it
from all present. The Rev. Critic, who
was present as usual, was accompanied by
Rev. Archibald Haddin, field secretary of
Carleton college. Northfeld, who was
deeply interested throughout and apparently
delightfully."- astOnished at the literary at
tainment the circle displayed. The reports
submitted by representative from each
OF the SIX classes were excellent throughout.
Previous to adjournment the Warden. who
was present. generously responded to the
request of the president to say few words.
He said he did not come prepared with his
paper, but as the Rev. Critic had discharged
his duties, he felt safe in entertaining them
for few moments. He felt very proud of
the Chautauqua circle here and he had good
reasons to be proud of it seeing as he did
the great interest taken and advancement
ilouo ny Clo luoluU6IS individually ana COL
lectively in the pursuits for which they had
banded themselves together. The progress
of the members of the ChautauQua circle in
this institution, in itself was a rebuke to
the arguments of one Mr.. Andrews who, in
the October number of the Forum, makes
pitlable effort to prove that the refOrmatOry
rather than the punitive system in prisons
IN this country was the cause of the great
increase in crime which in the mind of the
author at present existed. His experience
led bin to say. to give a man. on whom
misfortune has fallen, from whatever cause.
g chance to retain his manhood was to con-
fer an incalculable blessing not alone upon
him. but on society at large. He reminded
the members that the eyes of the people
were upon them and he relied upon every
Ian to do his duty as Chautauquan to the
last.
The members. one and all. feel very
grateful to the Warden for his generous
congratulations and stirring remarks and
hope that he may honor their meetings with
his presence often during the current year.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN FRANCE.

Especial Paper By e. L. H. of Glass c.
France is called a republic. And when we hear
the term republican government naturally
think OF the form Of our government But
there is a vast difference between our republic
and the republic of France. In that country there
are no states independent of each other and the
general government in local affairs. There is
Capitalization of authority. Everything is done
by the authority of the national government.
Territorially. France is divided into eighty.six
departments. These are divided into arrondisse.
ments; the ACCOMPLISHMENTS into cantons, and the
cantons into communes.
The commune is the administrative unit. The at.
fairs OF the commune are managed by municipal
council and a mayor The council is elected by
universal suffrage, and the members of the coun-
Gil then elect one of their own number mayor.
The canton is more of judicial than an admin.
istrative district. 1t has justice of the peace and
each canton elects one member of the general
council and one member of the reimbursement.
This latter council, which is elected by the peo-
pie. and sub protect. who is appointed by the gov.
eminent. represent the government in the arron-
basement.
The department is the most important division.
1t is governed by the general council elected by
universal suffrage and the project, who is ap.
pointed by the president of the republic on the
nomination of the minister of the interior. He
executes the laws and exercises sort of police
inspection over he.towns He is superintendent
of schools. and appoints all teachers of the pri
mary schools The general council celebrates and
votes on all departmental affairs. 1t is elected
by universal suffrage. The members get no pay.

The legislative power in France is vested in q

THE ROAD QUESTION.

"Uncle Tommy" IIawker, Of
Tunnelton, was in town the other
day and went before the County
Court to protest against the present
iniquitous and unbusiness-like sys,
TEN OF working our county roads.
lie says that as it is, with the wages
at only sl.00 per day and the hands
paid OF with orders, that they have
to go to the country stores WITH, or
discount. to get their money or else
wait long time for it; that it is
impossible to get good hands to
work on the roads, and nobody bet
boys or Old broken down men who
can make day will work for this
money and then take an order to
the poor-house for it.
Hands who can do good work,
can do better elsewhere. Then
again, as he says, the money Is di-
vided out in little dribs aud appor-
toned among large plumber Of
Road Surveyors, who manage to
keep most of it in their own family
by bringing out their own teams
and tools and boys and tinkering
along at the work when they can't
work on the farm. A little now
and then between times, or when it
is toe wet to work.corn or harvest,
etc. Under this old fogy, moss
back system we never will have
roads fit to travel over, except in
summer when they arc at their best,
and our county never Will take her
proper place till she gets better
roads. The wealth and business of
ia county can be gagged by its roads
as surely as by any other method,
and capital will not come to us over
roads fit only for sheep path.
This question is great one for our
people to consider, and some means
should DO devised to bring about
this much desired result. MIR.
Hawker's idea is, for the county to
first collect or borrow this money
and put it in the Bank or tho hands
of an agent and furnish each Road
Surveyor with check and an order
authorizing him to pay out to his
hands the amount of his apporhon-
ment, and then let him settle with
the County Couyt instead of COM
pelling all the hands to go through
the rod tape rigamarole of waiting
for the Court to allow them what
they have earned and should have
at once. Then ono dollar per day
is not enough for a man to work
and board himself or at such hard
work, too. Good hands won't work
for it and the county loses in the
end by paying such low wages, sine.
only inferior hands will work, as a
rule, and these only kill time and
accomplish but little.

Five doctors are now in attend

stated that there is "nothing serI-

to determine which is the more Sc

of which he is the idol. But while
there may be hopes Of the former s
recovery, the latter is beyond doubt

NEW YORK LETTER.
: Nrw Yoak. Jnly "a. 1891

-N INN July IL 1901
Jay GonId has recently been max
ing efforts to obtain another slice OF
Battery Park for his elevated rail
roads, but the attempt is very like
ly to act as boomerang and to re-
suit in cvicting his network of iron
from the Battery altogether. Foi
a number of years past the elevated
roads have been permitted to occu-
py portion of the Battery at the
pleasure Of the Board of Park Com
missioners. For this privilege, as
well as for permission TO use the
streets of this city and all other
similar privileges, the company has
never paid one cent. Their at
tempt to obtain still more of the
peoples space shows how true is the
proverb about giving an inch and
taking oil" In tho present iu-
stance, however, the company may
now be regretting its grecdiness.
The mass meeting which was held
at the Battery on Friday evening,
shows that the people are aroused
and arc after Mr.. Gould with big
stick.
The Home of Industry and Ref
uge for Discharged Convicts, nov
located at 1l15 First Avenue, will
soon he transferred to its new build
ing on West sixty-third Street,
where its usefulness will be greatly
increased. The idea OF the Home,
as tho name indicates, is to look
after the welfare of discharged con
yiets by providing them with ON
ployment and good moral surround
ing5. The inmates ale employed
making brooms, brushes, etc, at
present, but other branches Of in
dustry will be added as soon as pos
sible. Regular meals are provided
as is also comfortable beds. Part
of the money earned by the men is
given to them, and the remainder
helps to support the Institution
While in the Home the inmates
must conform TO certain regulations,
but they are permitted to leave
whenever they please. The new
structure is handsome one. and it
is expected that it will accommo-
date all who may apply.
The steamer, City of Berlin,
which sails from New York on
Wednesday next, has been especial
ly chartered to carry the Knight
Templars of Albany to Europe.
The trip will be a remarkable one
on account of the large number OF
Knights who will participate. The
excursion will start from Albany
tomorrow by the Peoples Line Of
boats, and will comprise about 35C
knights in full uniform. In Flu
rope the uniform will be worn only
at receptions indoors, as it is not
the custom there to make street
parades. On shipboard, parades
and reviews will be IN order every
day. The City Of Berlin is a regu-
lar fr5t-class liner, and this is the
first time That any such ship has
been especially chartered Tho trir
rs expected 70 cost about s1f5, 900.
