MORE COMMUNISM.
strong Language at DR..
F~oftMightiy.

DR.. Stoddard's Fortnightly Cosmopoh-
tan Club met in the gymnasium of st.
Johns Free Church., on Summit avenue,
last night and discussed Communism.
Mr.. Hanley, a representative of Commun-
istic ideas, opened the discussion with a
long speech. He talked on the labor ques-
ton as it is today and as represented by
the communists. The communists as
stated by Mr.. Hanley, ~believethat the ex-
listing condition of society must be
changed in order to bring relief to the
laborer or producer of capital. Mr.. Han
lev proposes to bring about a quick
method of reform by wiping out what ne
called "Commercialism destroying the
rights of millionaires to gamble will the
rights of others, and grab up the mil
lions from the robber and place 1t in the
hands of the producers"
He holds that "commercialism' is the
worse class of gamblers, and says It Is
the duty of all who consider the welfare
of society to aid in it's destruction. He
also holds that society has no right to
designate a man as lazy. Nature mas
provided q place for every man to labor,
who may interfere witt those rights
which are granted to YOU"
In other words, Mr.. Hanley believes
that society should be brought to a level,
and that the laborer will always be poor
as long as poverty is forced upon him by
the sinful hand of the millionaire.
other speeches., which touched upo
various points outside of communism,
occupied the rest of the evening.

GENERAL sHERIDAN,s HossR.

A good story of General Sheridan was
told the other day by a Mexican. an In
timate friend of the great Northern sol
der in his lifetime. One day, calling on
the commander of the army at his office
in Washington, he found him at his desk,
his feet encased in slippers and his shoes
democratically placed ON the top of the
desk. While the General was appar-
emily absorbed in some writing, the Mex
lean gentleman, who thought some SER
want had left the warriors shoes in the
wrong place, took his cane and gently
deposited his shoes on the floor. The
next day the Mexican falled again on
Sheridan, and found him at his desk,
dent of the tropics began once more
removing the shoes to the floor, when
all at once Sheridan roared OUT
Don't you do that again, sir! You
make me ridiculous, SIR
Il beg your pardon, General, but how
why, sir" said Sheridan, still an
inoyed, yesterday, sir, | went out to
walk after you had called on me. I
was nearing the White House when |
noticed a gentleman looking at me in
tently. Soon he addressed me, saying
Excuse me, General. but aren't you
afraid of catching cold?' Why, sir, no,
sir, not that | am aware of. What is
the matter, sir? Well said the gen.
tleman,, it is very damp and you are
sir" said Sheridan, addressing his Mex
lean friend, you made me ridiculous.
1t is my habit, sir, to put my shoes on
my desk where l cannot fail to see
them, so ] may not forget to put them
on, and, confound it, sir. you come
around here with your notions of pro-
priety and send me around town in my
slippers, sir."-BoSton Herald.

PROGRESS AND POVERTY.

Is we would judge of the relation in
which progress stands to poverty, it is
the relative amount of poverty we, must
consider, and not the absolute amount.
To adopt the opposite course is either
madness, stupidity, thoughtlessness, or
dishonesty, or a mixture of all four.
That this is so we can see very easily,
by turning from poverty to two other
dreaded -evils-disease and death. AS pop
ulation increases in a given area, there
will be more cases of illness within
that area than there were before; but
this is no proof that the inhabitants
are becoming less healthy. 1t is quite
compatible with an Improvement in
health throughout all classes. And If
we consider death, the case becomes
more clearer. If there are fifty thou
sand people within an area of four
square miles, more people will die within
that area than died within it when it
contained five hundred only; and yet
the death rate may none the less be
lower. If then, we would estimate the
real character of modern progress, so
far as 1t relates to the poorest and most
miserable classes, what we must consid-
er is not the actual number of the poor,
but the rate of pauperism, just as if we
would estimate the result of this pro-
gress upon health, what we must con-
slider is the death rate and not the num-
Der of deaths.-North American Review

yesterday gave an opinion to County

Cumberland County in the Lands Town

treat the election of trustees as a nullity
and appoint the to fill the vacancies.
A meeting was held some time ago
for the election of school trustees. and
a great many women attended the
meeting for the purpose of voting under
the act of the Legislature Oh 1851
giving the right of suffrage TO All per-
sons. whether male or female. IN any

vented from voting. 1t is even said
that violence was used.
Mr.. Charles K. Lands, an aStute
young lawyer of Vineland. who has
been retained by the women to look
after their interests. informed Superin-
tendent Poland that the women VINO
hindered and prevented by physical
force from voting.
superintendent Poland. in his opinion,
says that it is settled law in this State
that a public officer to whom any duty
is assigned under an act of the Legisla-
ture is in duty bound to execute the
law. and hat nothing but absolute GER
tainty of the entire validity of the act
would afford an excuse 70 an officer for
his refusal to execute it.
Superintendent Poland consulted At
torney Genera stockton in reference to
the matter. who Informed him that
from the facts in the case he was Of
opinion that there was a failure to elect
and that it was the duty of the County
Superintendent to appoint under the
act approved May %. 1891. which pro-
vides for the appointment of trustees
by the County Superintendent in any
district which fails to elect at the regu-
lar time. Under the circumstances SUI
perintendent Poland advised the County
Superintendent to treat the election as
a nullity and appoint other persons to fill
the vacancies.
When the County Superintendent ap-
points. it is expected that the ousted
trustees will take out a writ of GER
tiorari TO test the legality of the appoint
ments, and the opinion of the Supreme
Court will necessarily follow as 10 the
right of women's suffrage in the State.
An opinion of the court has never been

had the women been permitted to vote
at the meeting in question the result of
the election might have been different.
