The Sections of New Jersey Hold state
Convention and Decide to Take In
dependent Political Action.
The New Jersey Sections Of the :, l..
=. met in convention on SUNDAY after
noon the 18th inst, at Newark, The
hall was appropriately decorated, The
delegates, representing Sections Eliza
beth, Paterson, Newark, IIoboken,
Gutenberg, Union Hill, and Camden,
were called to order by Comrade f.
Scheer of Newark. As soon az the
necessary proceedings Of organization
were disposed Of, they turned their
attention to the object for which the
convention had been called together.
The first question presented was
whether the Socialists Of the State of
New Jersey should henceforth take in
dependent political action, A general
debate ensued, in which all the delegates
took part, and resulted in the unanimous
adoption of the following resolution
which was presented 10y the delegates
from Section Elizabeth
"WHEREAs, There is in existence to-
day class is possession of power where
with to turn to their own and selfish
purposes the laws, the rights, and the
freedom OF the people; and
"WHEREAs. BY reason hereof that
,.ln h1L ipT ha ahEyIbta a
sion of all the means of production :;
and
"WHEREAs, Such condition of things
drives and keeps the working class--the
only one that produces the wealth of the
uaton--doWn to the level Of wage
slavery; and
"WmEREAs, The existing political
parties cannot, owing to this inherent
corruption. wipe out the class legislation
Of the present social system; Socialism
alone is qualified to insure to the labor
ing class the product of their labor
therefore be it
"ReSoIred, That the Sections of the
state of New Jersey, in Convention AS
sembIed on Sunday, the 18th day of
Januray. 1891, at Newark, N. j., viii
hencaforth take active part in the po-
lltiGal campaigns Of the land as an
independent political party
The adoption of this resolution
necessitatcd the adoption of a series Of
provisions locking to the agitation and
organization Of the state, and kindred
matters These took up the Fest Of the
time and were satisfactorily disposed Of.

trHSt which enables them to control the
market
Why cannot the working people Join
hands, follow their example, and con.
troll the labor market? Work eight hours
day, instead Of ten and twelve and
make room for those who now have to
tramp.
"Another result of competition and
labor saving inventions is that the mar
ket ls ovcrttocked with hats, clothing
and shoes, while thousands of wretches
walk the streets in need of wearing ap-
parel ana have not the means to buy
amy. II every man in need could afford
to supply himself, there would not he
single palr Of hoes or one hat left and
the Journeymen hatters and shoemakers
would not be forced into idleness.
MACHINERY has proved to be blessing
TO capitalists, Let the workingmen then
turn 1t into a blessing for themselves,
by overthroWing the tyrants who now
rule us under the masks of republican,
ISM and democracy. Let lis unite our
votes at the ballot box for the genuine
Labor Ticket Great appause)
New members were enrolled, all of
whom are known to be good workers,
and we do not doubt that our efforts
Will be crowned with success

The Philadelphia Press says that "care-
fully prepared statistics of the coke trade
Of the ConnelIsville egion for 1890 show
the last year to have been a record
breaker. During the year just ended
the ConnelIsvilIe producers marketed
6,22l ,51S tons of coke, and the bulk sold
at better price than coke has ever
commanded since 1873. The output for
the first two months in the year was
sold for $1.15 per ton, and the price for
the remainder of the year was 81 u.
The trade Of the year may, therefore,
be said to represent in round figures an
income Of 100000"

There are now a dozen private banks
in London that do larger business than
the Bank of England without being
compelled, as the latter is, to carry re-
serves of money in heir own vaults.
The recent SUSPENSION Of the BarIngs
has called attention to this fact, and the
feeling Is growing throughout Great
Britain in favor OF extending IN some
way the public control over private
banks

Ahi Every Thus.

Each man thinks all men mortal
but himself. Each merchant thinks
the others are more likely to fall
behind in the race than he. Prin-
ters' Ink gets a good drive at some
self-eomplacent business men after
this fasion: Cox am at the head OF
the trade; why should l adver-
tise?' said prominent manufac-
turer of cocoa. He was sure that
he was right. The majority of his
business friends agreed with him.
He might as well have said, l am
in good health; why should l in
sure my life?' But none of them
looked at it in that way. Asleep in
his feeling of security, he did not
realize the necessity OF erecting q
fertilization of advertising around
his business, and although he had
a grand start of all his competitors,
younger houses grew more active
as he grew older, foreign competi.
ton came in despite the tariff, and
his declining years were mortified
by his taking second place; next
third place; finally, fourth, fifth
and sixth place in mercantile rank.

The Kitchen.

Few things tend so much to
peace and comfort, making all lab
oring for the family contented and
comfortable, as bright, pleasant,
well-furnished kitchen. In no
other room in the house are sum
light and fresh, pure air so indis-
pensable as in the room where
some of the most important work
must be done. A long, narrow,
dark kitchen is an abomination. In
some city houses, we suppose, it
cannot be avoided; at least, so the
architect will affirm. Ranges or
cook stoves should not be placed
opposite a door or window. A
good ventilation is important over
the range or cook stove, by which
the steam and dlsagreeable odors
from cooking can be carried off
without pervading the house.
Three large windows are always
desirable, and for a very large
kitchen four would be better

ME storp af a Book Clerk.

Mark Twain told a good story
the other day. It illustrated MS
point that all the clerks IN our
bookstores are not the best informed
in literary matter.
The humorist's wife and 1rleno
recently went into a bookstore, IN a
city of good size, not many miles
from New York.
Accostlng clerk, Mrs. Clemens
said that her friend desired TO Sc
cure copy of Taine's " Ancient
Regime"
"Beg pardon, what book did you
say?"
Mrs. Clemens repeated the autnor
and title of the book.
Going to the rear of the store the
clerk soon returned, only to inquire
May I ask you to repeat the name
of the author2"
"Why, Taine," repeated Mrs
Clemens, becoming a little an
noyed.
Assuming an air of superior
knowledge, and looking at his Gus
toner with a piteous glance o.
sympathy, u he ventured to Mrs
Clemens:
Pardon me, madam, but YOU
have the name trife wrong. fot
mean Twain-not Taine."
It takes Mark Twain to tell th'
story.

The Salt Lake Tribune claims
that, protestations and professions
to the contrary Notwithstanding,
the belief in polygamy is far from
uprooted in the Mormon Church,
and there are still saints in high
standing who believe in it, even to
the extent of practice, having
wives in Utah and Wyoming at
the same time. The Tribune de-
MES emphatically that polygamy
is "dead issue" in Utah politics.
