NEW REPURLICAN CLUB.

The Republican Club of Massachusetts is soon to be organized, and it will start out with platform which is well worth the attention of Republicans all over the country. The purpose of the club is to promote honest politics; tc oppose candi- dacy for public office or party prominence for private gain; to purify elections, caucuses and political committees; to en- courage political activity at primaries and caucuses among all good citizens; to advo- cate and disseminate the principles on which the Republican party was founded, and by which it has won it's greatest vic. tories; and with such principles at heart to enunciate from time to time new ob jects and measures deserving support The founders of the club say:
 1. We believe in honest money. We believe in securing the adoption by the chief commercial nations of the world of fixed ratio between gold and silver We believe in the conservative regulation oi the currency, and condemn it's imitation either by the issue of unconvertible paper money or by the free coinage of the de preciated dollar. Our currency shall bt established and maintained upon as firm { | basis as that of any other nation.
 2. We believe in a protective tariff | that shall impose duties where they art | needed, and only where needed, tt | equalize the labor cost of production, anG | to develop the American resources anc American commerce, but not to reliev, l favored corporations or individuals iron | foreign competition. 8. We believe in the extension of Amer ican commerce and in the encouragement of American shipping and in placing it o, 1 an equal footing with foreign shipping il
 the struggle for the carrying trade of tn l world.
 | 4. We believe that selection for tn
 public service should be made for meri
 and not for partisan activity and that tn civil service law should be extended to al departments of the government.
 migration and in the exclusion of paupers
 criminals and other persons un6tted fo
 the duties of American citizenship.
 G. We believe in the preservation of ou
 public schools and in compulsory educa
 tion. The welfare of the state depend
 upon the intelligence of its citizens.
 2. We believe in a free and pure ballo
 and an honest count at every polling pre-
 cinct in the United States. There shout
 be no restriction of the suffrage except b
 law.
 A club organized on this basis ought
 amount to something. The principles SC
 forth above will commend themselves
 good citizens of all parties.

VOTING FOR SENATOR.

In the midst of all the confusion and un- certainty that will attend the beginning of this session of the legislature it is re- lief to know that there can be no uncer- tainity about one thing. That is the elec- tion of United States senator. This election is provided for by United States law, and this law says "shall." For instance, it says that the legislature of each State which is chosen next preceding the expira- ton of the time for which any senator was elected to represent such State in congress shall, on the second Tuesday after the meeting and organization thereof, proceed to elect senator in congress. On this second Tuesday each house shall openly, by viva voce vote of each member pres ent, name one person for senator in con for, who receives majority of the whole number of votes cast in each house, shall be entered on the journal of the house by the clerk or secretary thereof or if either house fails to give such majority to any person on that day, the fact shall be entered on the jour nal At twelve o'clock meridian of the day following that on which proceedings are required to take place as aforesaid, the members of the houses shall convene in joint assembly and the journal of each house shall then be read, and if the same person has received majority of all the votes in each house he shall be declared duly elected senator. But if the same person has not received a mai ority of the votes cast in each house, or if either house has failed to take proceedings as required by this section, the joint assembly shall then proceed to choose by viva voce vote of each member present person for sena- tor, and the person who receives a majori- ty of the votes of the joint assembly,a a ma jority of all the members elected to both houses being present and voting, shall be declared duly elected. If no person re- ceives such majority on the first day, the joint assembly shall meet at twelve o'clock meridian of each succeeding day during the session of the legislature and shall take at least one vote until a senator is elected.
 This, as will plainly be seen, means business We shall have United States senator, and his name will be Orville H. P1aft

E states, from which it will be seen that, talk ing railroad extension as an indication of development, the central and western states are in the lead.
 One of the latest schemes for the worlds fair in Chicago is 8 tower ], ,492 feet high. Notice the 1 ,492. At the base there will be globe 400 feet in diameter, represent ing the earth, with all the different coun- tries, rivers and comparative height of mountains indicated. The globe is to be hollow and can be used as concert hall. An electric railroad will run around the outside of the globe, circling it to the top.
 The imperial German census gave these results: Population of Berlin, ,547, 4s5; Dresden, 267,000; Munich, 34O, 900; Cologne, 2s2, 900; Hamburg, 570, 900; Magdeburg, POS, ,000; Frankfort, 79,000; strasburg, 1s5, 1000. Leipsic, which now has 293, 900 inhabitants, will, by enlarging its limits on January 1, have S5a, 900, and be the third city in size in Germany. Heligoland has 2,0s6 inhibitants, s5 more than it had just ten years ago. The popu- lation of Berlin shows an increase of t52,- 900 in the last ten years, and of 259, 900 in the last five. The average annual increase for the last five years is about 52, 900. The census takers found in Elbing man 49 years old with twentytwo children.
 The colored people are going to have their share of the good things. A com pany of capitalists has secured beauti- fully wooded tract of sixty acres on the New Jersey coast near Asbury Park, where it is proposed to establish a permanent Chautauqua for colored people. The pro- ject will be incorporated under the name of the Park university, and a summer course of theology for young colored cler- gymen will be established, as well as regu- lar camp meetings for the colored people. Rev. J. c. Ayler, a graduate of Rutgers and presiding elder in the African Meth odist Episcopal church, has been elected president of the board of trustees, which includes Bishop Turner of Georgia and other prominent colored clergymen in all parts of the country.
 A monster trial of all the members of a servants society for the facilitating of theft was held in the fourth criminal court of Berlin about three weeks ago. The thirty-fve prisoners organized ten years ago, according to the conclusive testimony of 150 witnesses, an association of house servants for the purpose of theft. All the plunder of the members was brought to the meeting rooms of the association in the Chaussee Strasse, was there sorted and appraised, and then classified, so that it might be pawned without exciting suspi- cion. The profits were divided according to the presidents judgment of the respec- tive merits of the members. The result was that all the prisoners got sentences varying from one to five years in prison.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Who killed Sitting Bull, is the great question. It may yet displace the inquiry concerning the murder of MT. William Pat terson.
 MT. Allan w. Paige will be nominated at Hartford tonight for Speaker of the house, and there is practically no opposi- ton to him. His ample legislative expert ence, and his marked fitness for the place in other respects, have been generally rec ognized.
 There is good deal of talk nowadays about injecting gold into the blood of the sick. If such injection has as powerful an effect on the feelings of sick man as the injection of gold into the pocketbook of a well man has upon his feelings it will work wonders.
 The total mileage of track laid on steam railroad lines in the United States from January 1, 1890, to January 1, 1891, is 5,775 miles, an increase of 6S0 miles over the number laid in 1889. Of these 5,775 miles only 92 were laid in the NewEngland states and 1,275 in the south Atlantic

WILL GO TO COURT.
Subscribers Decide Not to PaY the
N. P. Subsidy.
They Acknowledge No Indebtsd-
ness, ON the Ground that the
Railroad Company Did
Not Meet Its Agree

memt.
The subribers to the Northern Pacific
subsidy and bond, amounting in all to
about $4,000, have decided that they are
under no obligations to pay to the com
pany the amount asked for bringing the
road through Olympia and will take the
matter into the courts. About half Of the
subscribers and their representatives met
in the First National Bank building last
evening to discuss the matter, and after re-
viewing the facts in the case, and the ac-
ton Of the railroad company, they placed
the case in the hands of committee con-
sisting of Judge Robinson, R. G. O'Brien,
N. "A. Root, John F. Convey and S. O..
Woodruff, who will bring it properly be-
fore the court.
The gentlemen present came to the con
clusion that the 80 subscribers to the bond
were not liable, and agreed that the
amount should not be paid. They ac-
knowledge no Indebtedness, because the
railroad company did not sustain It's part
OF the contract in completing the road
hand, there were those of the subscribe
who, while they likewise acknowledged no
Indebtedness, realize the benefits the city
derives from being placed on a transconti-
mental line and. expressed a willingness to
make donations to the company of lots
and blocks of land. In doing this, it is
with the understanding that it does not
apply in lieu of the subscriptions made,
nor on the bond, but merely an apprecia-
ton OF the roads coming here
When the Northern Pacific sought an
inducement to come to Olympia, tie citi-
zens had already pledged $15O,0C0, ofWhich
amount $780, 900 was for the Port Townsend
Southern, $4,000 for the widening of the
narrow guage, and $4,000 for the Union
Pacific, consequently, some difficulty was
experienced in raising the $50, 900 asked by
the Northern, and in order to make sure Of
the latter road, thirty citizens signed a
bond for 81, 900 each, in addition to which
the company was given terminal grounds
200 feet wide and 1000 feet long. In CON
sideration of these subsidies, the railroad
company was to have its road running into
Olympia by December 1, 1890, and to com
plete its entire system from Tacoma to
Gray's Harbor by March /, 1891. AS a
matter Of fact, the latter part of the agree
ment is not in operation vet, while the
company failed in the former part by not
getting into Olympia until January l, 1891

POINTS WORTH NOTICING.

A Few PIanl1s Suggested For the Consider
alton of the New Party.
Congress has been passing measures
condemned by the people at the last
election because of the moral defect in
our constitution, by which the laws it
passes are not referred back to the peo-
pie for veto or approval as is done in
the real democratic republic of Switzer-
land The first demand of intellectual
reformers is therefore for the ''initia-
tive" and referendum"
1. A real government by the people.
All important laws passed by Congress
during the previous year shall be sub
mitted to the people to vote on at the
annual elections in November. Any
measure shall be submitted when thirty
representatives demand it in congress,
or when thirty thousand citizens petition
for it.
2. When thirty thousand citizens pc
tition for the passage of legislative
measure, it shall be taken up and de-
bated by congress and submitted to the
annual popular vote. All measures ap-
proved by the people to be constitu-
tional.
8. Increase in wealth requires a pro-
portionate increase in currency for the
transaction Of business, and any further
contraction of the currency to suit
money lenders would paralyze all in
dustries. The proper increase at the
present per capita can be secured by
paying the school taxes of the nation
through an annual issue of legal tender
notes by the general government to be
paid in monthly installments to the
states and territories in proportion to
population. School books to be in
cluded in said taxes.
4. Concurrence in the sub-treasury
plan. A graduated income tax.
8. The tariff to be adjusted by fixing
by law the minimum wages that labor
must be paid in the protected industries
and by allowing capital fair interest
on its investment. The scale of wages
to be fixed annually, one year before
taking effect. Eight hours to be legal
days work in mines and factories
6. When trusts exact exorbitant prof
its, a receiver to be appointed to man.
age the business and sell the goods at a
fair profit.
I. Alien ownership of land to be pro-
hibited and special tax to be imposed
on land now held by aliens, until alb
sentee landlordism is taxed out of ex-
istence.
8. The natural monopolies to be grad
ually owned by the people, beginning
with the telegraph. Railroads to be
under government control until they
become public property.
These are few planks suggested to
the new party which every decent man
could support and which the old parties
could not successfully combat.
The labor on the farm must help to
protect the labor in the factory, If i
would secure its cooperation and the
consequent success Of both. u. Hag'
gerty, IN Journal Of knights OF labor.
