Lines.

CHICAGO. Dec. 3O.-Without discus
sion and with unanimous vote the Chi
cago Trades and Labor Assembly at
sT ecial meeting last evening adopted the
report of Delegate VIM. G. Pomeroy,
who represented the convention at the
convention of the American Federation
of Labor. The discussion was for ANAL
gamatiOn with the Chicago Labor Con-
gress, or the reorganization of the
Trades and Labor Assembly on
the lines adopted by the Federation of
Labor, and while this reorganization com
pels great sacrifice on the part of the as
sembly, and will bar from IFS future coun-
ellis some of the oldest and best known
trades unionists in the city, there was not
a word said in opposition to the PROPOSE
ton. On the contrary, four or
five of the men who will be
debarred made speeches after the
report had been adopted, in
which they counseled peace, unity
and organization, and promised their
moral and financial support to the gen
eral labor movement at any time they
might be called upon in the future.
The consolidation of the two bodies
will probably take place about the LIST of
March.

Advertising Agents Make Pictures of
Nude Women More Conspicuous.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-An advertise
ment in the cars of the Brooklyn Eleva-
ted railroad has suddenly become the
most conspicuous object on the struc-
ture. One part is a reproduction of
Falero's celebrated painting, "The Me-
teors," representing two lightly clad
women executing a serpentine dance
in space. Each holds one hand aloft
and uses the finger as an incandescent
light to guide her wayward footsteps.
Anthony Comstock did not like this and
wrote letter to President Ullman of the
road, who laid the matter before the ad-
vertising agents who control the space
in the cars. They had a contract to
keep the advertisements up for a certain
time, but they decided to provide each of
the Objectionable women with a black
apron in the shape of court plaster
patch.

Is SOCIALISM RIGHT?
Discussion of the Subject Before the
Institute of AppIied Chrisfiamity.

Discussion of the Subject Before the
Institute of Applied Christianity.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 30.-Dr J. E.
Scott, editor of the Socialist, lectured
last night before the Institute of Applied
Christianity on the subject, SIS Socialism
Right or Is it Wrong?"
In substance DR.. Scott said:
Socialism is essentially cooperation in
production and equitable distribution, or
ethically expressed, Thou shalt love
thy neig h Dor as myself" It ia system
by which labor aud the products of labor
would be justly distributed. 1t is right
in its teachings as to property and
mans relation TO property, because
it demands justice or the love that works
no i'll to the neighbor. It is maintained
to be right; first, because it holds a right
'dea of soclety-that it is body of inter-
dependent mem bers; second, because it
holds just idea of property and the ow
nership of property; third, because it
would do away with the iniquity of c,m-
petition; fourth, because it seeks a lair
division of the tolls and pleasures and
opportunities of life; fifth. because it
would do away with the merely animal
and essentially degrading incentives to
effort and exalts those that are best;
sixth, because it is aa extension and real
ization of the principle of democracy,
extending 1t TO industry as well as to gov
eminent; seventh, because it would Sc
cure the prize of liberty in as perfect a
form as possible
No embryo Edisons would be left un-
educated and lost to the world because
of the poverty that drives them to IN
suitable toll Socialism stands upon
eternal right and justice. When men
tell US it leads to despotism we answer.
Yes, to the despotism of the Golden
Rule;" when they tell US it is scheme
of robbery we answer, "Yes. it robs rob-
bers of their ability to rob and compels
omic decency and oriar"

More Immigrants than Ever Arrived
This Year and a Better Glass.
New YORK, Dec 30-Deputy Com
missioner of immigration Insolvency.
estimates that $4,000 more Immigrants
arrived at Ellis island the past year than
in 1894. Thus far in December Is, 149
immigrants have arrived. Estimating
$4,000 for this month, the total for 1895
is 229.607. and the increase over last
year 61.944
For 1894 the arrivals at the immigra-
ton station were l67,663, and for 1898
they were 1884. Deputy Commits
sioner McSweeney says the character of
the emigrants is much better than in
previous years. This improvement is
due to the rigid enforcement of the i'm
migration laws, he says.
The immigrants of last year brought
81 100000 dollars with them The i'm
migrants of this year have brought a
much larger sum.

Wheat-Thomans figures on farm re-
serves have occasioned a good deal of
sharp criticism, and very few can be
found to endorse them. Perhaps this is
because the trade is generally bullish
and not inclined to accept anything of
bearish nature, unless it comes from an
official source.
The wheat market began the week
stronger and Il to 3s higher than close
Saturday. This firmness was due to bet
ter English cables and more confident
feeling seemed to prevail in the pit. The
market held around 90 to 5914 while
every body waited for the visible supply.
Exports are making gratifying ex-
hibit. They are larger than expected
and it is reported that considerable
amounts are being taken by exporters
for future shipments. It is to be hoped
this will prove true. There was sharp
bulge late in the session on reported
damage to Argentina crop by heavy
rains. Last spring holders were
helped out by short wheat
crop, but the yield turned out TO be
larger than expected, and a severe reac-
ton followed the spring boom. A good
many ara looking for a similar boom
now and they rush in to buy on all signs
flooded with predictions as TO
what is going to happen, but
it will be safe for spectators to act on
facts instead of theories. 1t would be

JOSEPH COOK NEEDS REST.
The Noted Lecturer Arrives From the
Orient Almost an InvaIid

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 30.-Joseph Cook,
the noted American lecturer and litera-
teur. has arrived here from the Orient on
the steamship China, broken in health
and almost an invalid.
Those who saw him in June, when he
passed through to Hawaii and Australia,
would scarcely recognize him now. Over
work, which produced nervous prostra-
ton, is at the bottom of the trouble.
Rev. A. II. Bradford, friend and fell
low passenger, said: "You can rest as
sured Joseph Cook has lost none of his
vigor of mind. He has been dangerous
ly i'll, and nervous prOstration has left its
mark on him, but rest will bring him
back to his old state. Mrs. Cook and
friends have had the positive assurance
of the best physicians in Japan"
