SOCIALISM.
Cardinal Manning Says Few Words
on the subject.


LONDON, Jan. 10-The Chronicle pub
fishes an account of an interview with
Cardinal Manning regarding. the article
III the 81. James Gazette, in which the
Cardinal was condemned as q Socialist
because of letter written by him to Il
Paris publication. The Cardinal argued
that it was impossible to defend Social
ISM because any attempt to do so was
met by three distinct Socialistic schools,
all of which denied the accuracy of the
definition, therefore It is more useful to
know what Socialism is not.
I'm the first place. said the Cardinal
''the society of man is not of human but
Of Divine creation. 1t is founded upon
three great laws of authority. The whole
of our legislation is essentially social, for
the protection of property and labor. In
contrast, Socialism claims supreme power
to change, reform, even to create the
foundation and principles of political
parties.
.sSecondly, the correction of social evils
should be conservative of the life and
health OF society. Socialism, on the other
hand, Identities the social evils with
society itself, and kills the patient to
cure his nalalies. For example,
the Socialist considers the chief evil of the
times the accumulation OF property in \
few hands, and to cure it some Socialists
would deny the right Of property to indi-
viduals, which is founded radically in
the law Of nature.
.'Sociai legislation will show how, by
just legislation, which pervades the
whole system oftaxation, to redress these
inequalities. Tho poor law,
the abolition OF tho corn law
and the laws OF succession to
real property and income tax are all
just social laws, founded upon the hrst
principles OF human society, as strictly
conservative of the commonwealth. Can
not the saying that ether similar laws are
not required, or inst they have received
with saying that any ono calling such
laws socialistic does not know what So

Road to the Street Below.
New YoRK, Jan. Il.-This morning a
collision occurred on the Third-avenue
line of the Manhattan Elevated road. a
switch engine had occasion to go out of
the main track and the danger signal was
set. Disregartling this, the south-bound
train came along at full speed and crashed
into the switch engine, tearing away the
ioot-path and railing and throwing the
engine to the street below. The engineer
and fireman were seriously injured. The
collision created panic among the four
carloads of passengers on the Train, but
no one was hurt. The switch engine,
i'll falling to the street, struck wagon
standing near the curb and smashed it
to fragments.

Passage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE California
Associated Press correspondent learns
that although the House Irrigation COM
mittee has agreed to report Vandever's
irrigation bill, the prospects for its pass
age are very slim. In the first place,
owing to the many important measures
row pending before Congress, it would
be difficult, if not impossible, to have a
day set for its consideration by the Com
mittce on Rules, which is composed
mostly Of Eastern men, who care nothing
for our all-absorblng questions OF ifriga-
ton of arid lands. Then, again, if it came
up in the House, the Committee on Pub
lie Lands would antagonize it, in the be-
lief that under its provisions It should
more properly come under it's iurisdic-
ton, rather than under the Irrigation
Committee But even if it passed the
House, it could never pass the Senate
Senator Stewart Chairman of the SEN
ate Committee on Arid Lands, believes
that it was designed wholly in the inter
est of Powell Of the Geological SURVEY.
The old fight between Senator Stewart
and the Powell men would be renewed,
and it would be impossible to secure
any irrigation legislation.
If the Republican Congress fails to look
after its constituency in the arid region,
what can be expected OF the Democratic
Congress? The only representatives of
the arid land region in the lower House
of the next Congress who will have any
influence with the Democrats viii be
Dixon OF Montana and Marcus Smith OF
Colorado. The outlook is certainly not
very encouraging.

A PAIR OF OPERA GLASSES.
They Cause a Humorous Incident in q New
York City Theater.

They Cause a Humorous Incident in New
York City Theater.
A humorous incident occurred recently at
the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
Five people became involved in a complica-
ton over an opera glass. In one row of or
chestra chairs four people sat in adjoining
seats. A young woman and her escort sat
next the aisle, and two young men held the
adjoining seats. The young men were
friends, but did not know the pretty young
woman who sat next or her escort.
Directly behind the young woman sat a
young man. During the first intermission
the two young men in front went out to see
friend, leaving pair of opera glasses on
the seat next the young woman. The glasses
slipped to the floor after the youths had gone
out and the young man behind picked them
up, and thinking the young woman had
dropped them touched her on the shoulder
and held out the glasses. She accepted them
smilingy and surveying the house passed
them to her escort. He asked her where
she got them, and she nodded toward the
young man. The escort bowed his thanks
to him and turned the glasses on the boxes.
Finally the young woman returned the
glasses to the young man, who, thinking
the lady wished him to have few peeps
himself, smiled and surveyed the house. As
he finished and was handing them back to
the kind young woman. the two youths came
back. One OF them grabbed for the glasses,
but the young man could not permit any
such performances. The young woman's
escort took hand in, too, for he did not
wish the obliging youth behind to suffer
He knew the glasses belonged to him. So
did the young lady. The young man knew
they belonged to her. The two youths knew
they belonged to them. and for five minutes
there was comedy OF errors as funny as
anything in fiction. An eyewitness ex-
planned the error, and the comedy was

ages the formation by workmen of trades
unions with a central body. 1t also claims
a similar right of organization. Given, then,
the two kinds Of organizations, shall aTb-
tration be the means by which in general
Disbursements shall be settled? If so, what
are proper questions Tor arbitration? How
shall the joint board OF arbitration be
formed?
The association is not unit on the first
of these questions. 1t will probably be de-
bated; aud among the champions on either
side will be Mr. Sayward OF Boston aud Mr..
McAllister of Cleveland The former is in
elined 10 look with favor upon any reason
able plan of arbitration; the latter is a
Scotchman with plenty of fight in him, and
he objects to dictaton.
The association will probably recommend
some plan of arbitration to the several ex-
changes. 1t can do no more. There is no
provision for enforcing action. Hitherto,
however, the orders formulated in the gen.
eral convention have had widespread and
important effect
AS to the proper subjects for arbitration
L mad a conversation with an officer of the
association, who told Inc that as a general
rule the builders granted the workmen the
right to decide for themselves the question
OF hours and pay. This was not a matter
Tor arbitration. In the same way the build
erS assert, the question of employing or dis
charging this or that man is a matter for
the bosses" to decide and should not come
before the beard of arbitration. Such an
arrangement, If agreed upon by masters and
workmen, would seem to amount to perma-
nent arbitration upon certain questions
AS to the constitution of the board. the
gentlemen to whom have referred thought
the standing committee of the exchange
would answer as its representative to meet
similar body from the trades union.

ment on that evening in order to convince

that whistled popular song entitled "Wil-
lie Reilly's White Shirt" as l climbed the
New York, and had long waited an oppor-
tunity TO whistle 1t in a solitude that would
conceal my degradation. For it was such a
bad tune; so shamelessly suggestive of every
other bad tune; so offensive to q sensitive
ear; in short such a thoroughly typical
popular song that | had felt guilty when l

There was nothing coarse in the words :;
they even had a moral purpose. Willie was
represented as residing in the Fourth Ward,
and the song appealed directly to the young
men of that locality. Who could say that
1t might not be the means of leading many
of them to emulate vii les example and
procure white shirts for their own USE thus
distinctly advancing in the path of civiliza-
tion. l said as much to Patrolman Cassidy
of that district, and he replied that was
not the first one to think of this possible
result, for he had noticed that the washer
women were hauling in their clothes lines
earlier in the evening since the song had be-
come popular.
No, no; the words were pardonable, but
the tune-ah, there was the crime. 1t had
the property of contagion. 1t was musical

J. Tucker, Stephen NJ Wright. Mr.. Tucker
is President of the New York Exchange and
MIR. Wright is Secretary. The latter 10 par
tcular has had his hands full making the
arrangements for the convention aud tor
the entertainment of the guests.
The general programme includes daily
sessions OF the convention at Masonic Hall
FOrenoonS and afternoons will be occupied
in this way. On Monday evening the build
ers will visit the New York Trade School at
First avenue and SiXty-eghth street. There
will be general sightseeing at all avail BILE
hours on Tuesday. The biggest theater
party ever given in New York will occur on
Wednesday evening. The Committee of
Arrangements has made bargain for a
whole thcater-One of the Broadway houses
and they will run it to sui. themselves.
The regular attraction will be given, but
special gags will be introduced, and gag
committee has been preparing them during
several weeks. 1t is pity that the general
public will not be permitted to discover
what sort of a gag can be turned out by the
rules governing bricklaying aud masonry
Handsomely engraved invitations and
gorgeous souvenir programmes will also be
tons. The house will be decorated for the
occasion.
Thursday evening will witness the grand
banquet in LenoX Lyceum. 1t is a SPACIOUS
hall, but the services of expert designers
nave been required to solve the pro blem of
getting in seats enough. On Friday the
whole party will be taken to Philadelphia
direction of the New Workers, but the enter
tainment in the Quaker City will be n
charge of the local exchange.
The special reason of this visit is to give

and the architect can designate it by num-

see whether the plan has been followed by
the builder.
In the basement of the Philadelphia Ex-
change Building is the trade school, and the
bui ders will have a chance to compare it
with that under Colonel Auchmutv's charge
in New York. The Importance of establish
ing such schools is strongly set forth in the
declaration of principles" of the national
ASSOCIATION. The association urges the
establishment of manual training as part
OF the public school course, but if that were
done there would still remain the need of
the special night schools under the direction
OF the various local trades organizations for
Inc 6eneht and Improvement of apprentices.
Colonel Auchmuty's school teaches brick
laying, plastering, plumbing, carpentry, va
rlous kinds of painting and blacksmith
work. Doubtless there will be addresses
and debate upon the trade school question
In the coming convention.
But the most interesting of all the sub
jects to be considered is arbitration. This
matter has been for the past year under
consideration by the following committee
J. Milton Blair, Cincinnati; Anthony timer,
ST. Louis; George c. Prussing, Chicago
Mare Eidletz, New York, and David A.
Woelpper, Philadelphia. A report has
been prepared for the convention, and,
whatever may be its nature, there is no
doubt that it will be warmly debated

that such conferences should only be COM
petent to report results in the form of reso-
lutions OF recommendation to the individuals
composing the various organizations, avoid
ing all forms OF dictatoriaI authority
In preparing to receive the visiting mem
bers Of the craft, the New York Mechanics
and Builders Exchange has been assisted
by the Building Trades Club, an organiza-
ton which is the only one of its kind in the
country. OF course the club members are
nearly all members Of the exchange, but the
club as body acts independently. 1t has
handsome rooms at 90 East Twenty-frst
street.. and these will be prepared for the
reception OF the visiting builders. Among
the interesting things which they will see
there-exclusive of irst-rate lunch-wll
be a fine collection of photographs of all the
principal buildings in the city The hand
some, well-llghted room now used for bill
lard playing will include both the lunch
and the Photographic exhibition.
No doubt the visitors will vote unanimous
ly that the Building Trades Club is a great
Institution, even as it stands, though it is
nothing to what it will be if its ambitious
designs are carried out-and there is no
reason to doubt that they will be. The
club is negotiating for the lease of new
home, which one of the members told me
was now "palatial residence" When
they get it they will fit it up in a manner
well fitted TO supply both business and social
needs. The first floor Will be used for bust
for conferences between men engaged in
different departments of building work be-
tween contractors and sub-contracto for
instance. StenogTaphers and typewrlters
will be furnished by the club and all sorts of
documents can thus be speedily prepared.
On the floors above will be the rooms for
social purposes; the cafe and parlor. 1t is
an institution likely to lie duplicated, or at
least Initiated, in other large cities by nd
by. Its membership is drawn exclusively
from those actively engaged in building
work. 1t has been in existence only year
and a half, but is already an assured sue
cess.
The club talks shop" and is not ashamed
of 1t. Within its walls one hears nothing
but discussions upon subjects relating to
buildings.
The chappies in the clubs on the avenue
talk clothes and society,"" said member to
me, land the athletic club men talk slug
ging and rowing. Our conversation Is
little more solid, that's all. The club has
done great deal in introducing builders to
each other socially. Men who have been
bidding against each other and doubtless
hating each other for years meet here, and
learn that they're both good fellows after
all
