THE FACTORY SYSTEM.
Compared by MIR. Zeublin to the Do
nestle System of the Last Century.

The third lecture of the series on "A
Century of Social Reform in the interest
of university extension, was given last night
at High School No / by Charles Zeublin,
of the University of Chicago. The subject
of last nights lecture was THE Factory
SYSTEM" Mr. Zeublin said the domestic
system represented the industrial condition
of England before the revolution, when
inanimate relations existed between the
masters journeymen and apprentices, and
between the farmers and the laborers. The
factory system was the product of the in
dustrial changes of the eighteenth century.
In this age machinery has been invented
which enables one pair of hands to do the
work which formerly required ten to 1ifty.
Increased production was one of the char,
acteristics of the factory system. physical
deterioration OF the laborer resulted IN the
employment of women and children, and the
moral degradation of the laborer was seen
in the destruction of the home, the neglect
of the children. and the emphasis OF class
distinctions. Another CHARACTERISTIC was
the substitution of the cash relation for the
human relation. The essence of the indus
trial revolution is the substitution of COM
petition for the medieval regulations winch
had previously controlled the production
| and distribution of wealth

VIII Resist the Collection by Suit of
Improvement Assessments.

A meeting of Irvington citizens interested
In street improvements made in the summer
in that suburb. was held in Captain Brouse's
Office last night. During the summer ce-
ment side walks were laid on several streets
among others on Doney and Central aven-
ues The majority OF property holders
awaited themselves of the privileges granted
under the Barrett law. Having taken the
legally appointed steps 10 secure this prvi-
lege, Whey expected to pay their first
sessment along with the taxes of November
last At that time they made application at
formed that no report of the assessments
had been received there and since the
treasurer did not know what these assess
ments were. he could not receive their
money. Up to the middle of December the
treasurer was still unable to receive the
money because the lists of assessments had
not been reported to him. The property
holders. therefore, took II for granted that
since they were delinquent through no fault
payable when the next taxes became due.
Suit has now been brought against them,
not only for the first assessment but for the
whole amount with large attorney fees
added. The Irvington citizens hold that the
assessment list was purposely withheld so
as TO prevent them from paying the first
assessment when due and that the list was
brought In after they had grown tired at
tempting TO pay what was not wanted. The
meeting last night took the form OF a reg
ular Indignation meeting. An agreement
was signed To in no case accept a separa tt
settlement, but to pool the several issues
employ an attorney and make a test case.

with general and popular approval, Nlne
OF every ten business men regard the rec
ommendatlon Of the c9 n,, she = minds O Of
many there Is a doubt as to the CITY ADJ doh-
ity to issue the necessary bonds Ine oept
the State to per cent of the taxables. The
report of the controller, made jan. !;
shows the city indebted to the amount OF
81 SS45o0 within about per cent OF the
constitutional limit 1t would be imposslpie
for the city to increase the debt sufnciently
for serious consideration whether the Leg
islature has the power to grant tne ely
i b speed pob bu that he would require two
years time. In speaking Of the question
last night, Mayor Denny said:
Il am heartily in favor or the city owning
the Water companys plant and system,
but there is doubt in my mind whether the
purchase can be made right away. we
prohibited from increasing the city m
debtedness 10 any great extent. uouut
if the Legislature could warrant the 1ssu-
ance of bonds for the purpose, even tnougn
it were understood that the Indebtedness
Have you no plan whereby the plant
might be purchased, or do you know or any
scheme which has been suggested! was
asked.
II have heard one plan mentioned, which
I think would be legal, but hardy advan-
tageous. 1t might be possible to issue bonds
to the limit and expend it for the purchase
of the plant. Then the Legislature mighI
give the city the power to issue ponds Ior
they would be liens upon the plant, ana
not upon the city. By this melhoa' nov
ever, the city would have to pay a higher
rate of interest than if the city were
made responsible For this reason / am In
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of making the
purchase under these conditions
Controller Trusler also thinks IL would
be well for the city to own the plant, but
the same serious objection comes TO MIN.
Yesterday he said: .
II don't see how it will be possible to
issue bonds for. the purchase under Ine
present constitutional limit. We can't issue
any more bonds, and the Legislature cannot
give us the power to do so without amend
ing the Constitution"
Judge Martindale sees the same hindrance
| in the proposed purchase, although he de-
| sires 1T understood that he favors the
| project. He says it will be possible Tor
! the city to buy the plant two years hence,
| for by that time the $500.000 Belt railroad
! bonds will be paid off, besides several other
smaller amounts which will give the CITY
/ the right to issue large amount or ponds.
The estimated amount OF the tax assess
| ment to be made this spring is about SlOo, oOo,
| COO which would allow the city to issue bonds
| to the amount of 81. 100000. The indebted
/ ness at the present time is $l,SSf,5o0 winch
| would leave the city with authority to Issue
| something over 100000 in bonds Accord
| ing to the plan partly suggested by Mayor
| Denny this 500, 900 could be used for q
| cash payment, which would be sufficient
to insure the sale of the bonds at a rea
| sonable rate, even though they were a hei
| on the water plant only, and not guaran
| teed by the city.

The Usual Result of "a Spree.

Another wife-beater was taken to the
police station last night. Word was received
during the evening that Mike Nicola was
making life hideous for his wife and some
of the neighbours 1t seems that he had par
taken quite freely of old rye and then re-
turned to his home and given his wife a
terrible beating. He is also said to have
gone out on the street and offered to shoot
any person who dared to step in front of
him. Patrolman Spears was sent to the
place and arrested the man.

The necessity for the Governor of Nir-

however. criticised his course upon tie
ground that ne has not compiled literally

criticism upon the text of section 3eS of
the code of Virginia. which provides that
