1t is hard to compute exactly what ef-

FER the application Of sSeiaiiem. there
are as yet hundreds of things that can
not be done successfully by the state.
and that must be left to the individual .
The general trend of his argument for
public ownership is given in the follow
Ing. said to have been Lord Salisbury's
reply to the objection mentioned above.
That 1t was not a question OF socialism
at all. but simply question of business;
question whether a given commuuitv
can secure certain advantages and sup
ply certain needs common to all Of itS
people more cheaply or in a more salts
factory manner when acting collectively
than it can by leaving everything to in
divtdual effort; that q collective body
has the same right to pursue the best
business methods, and do all things nee.
essary to its welfare, or the welfare Of
its members that the individual has;
that the best interest Of the community
must be the criterion by which to de-
eide each case: that there was a time
when private individuals carried the
mails and charged what they pleased,
there being go government postoffice;
but as the world advanced every gov
eminent took the postal business into it's
own hands. and no intelligent man would
alton.
The latter part Of the speech was de-
voted to government by injunction, and
the ex-governor used the argumentsthat
are familiar On that point. declaring that
the corporations used the courts against
the workingman; that it was the judges
who made the laws really; that labor
must be protected; that the Injunction
as used in strike cases is a blow at lib
erty and violates the constitution, and
that as to the judges, 1.-The American
people can remove every one Of them
and consign them to that infamy which
Is now embalming the memory OF JEFF
fries. But this cannot be done so long as
congress is made up largely Of men
who are mere corporation conveniences.
1t will be necessary to send men to con-
gress who will be true to the people.
This may not happen at the next cleo
ton, nor yet at the next; but it must
come, and must come Soon"

Government Ownership.
Philadelphia, Sept. 7.-Ex-Goyernor
John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, addressed an
audience Of about 1000 people at Wash
ington park on the Delaware river yes
terday afternoon. His subject was .Mu-
nicipal and Government Ownership and
Government by Injunction" The event
which brought the ex-governor here was
the Labor Day celebration by the United
Labor League Of this city. President
Ernest kreft occupied the chair and
made the opening address. He then in
troduced Altgeld. The governor de-
voted five-sixths of his speech to an adj
vocacy Of government and municipal
ownership, drawing from the cities of
Manchester and Birmingham, England
his principal arguments in favor of that
system. He said that proposals Of this
sort were generally met by the claim
that they were socialistic.
He then defined socialism as follows:
Socialism has been defined as a system
of government in which the competitive
system is entirely abolished, and the
principle OF associated effort Is applied
to everything. According to the stand
ard authorities socialism is an ideal
state founded on justice and in which the
benefits of modern invention and Of mo-
nopoly shall be shared by all the people
instead of being controlled by the few
and used by these few to make them
selves the absolute masters Of the many.
The word Socialism is used as a term
OF derisicn only by the ignorant or the
serviie. However, the world Is not RIM

ALMA COLLEGE CONSERVATORY OF
MUSIC.
Remarkable Growth Under Direction
of Prof. T. Bath GlaSSOn.
Grand Choral Coneert Dec. 2lst

|
Since the opening of the Alma College
Conservatory Of Music i'll September it
mas had a steady but permanent growth.
AT present there are thirtythree pupils
enrolled III the department of tinstru.
mental music, making a total Of sixty
five piano lessons gwen each week. Miss
Torrance, the vocal teacher, gives twenty
eight lessons per week. The Choral
society numbers sixty-eight members in
good standing from both college and
| town, and the Orchestra is composed of
eighteen pieces, played by both students
and Alma citizens. This helps to main
tam spirit OF cordlality and hearty
| coope ration between the college ana
town people, which should always be
carefully guarded. The frequent appear
ance of the Orchestra before the public
mas made the people somewhat familiar
with the excellence of their work They
are now working on two operas, Der
treychutZ" and Bohemian Girl" to
be given at the Choral Concert on Dec
2lst. The piano and voice departments
are in equally as good condition as the
other. Prof. Glasson and Miss Torrance
are both teachers OF ability and expert
ence, Prof. Glasson having taught for
nine years before coming TO Alma, most
of the time in New York City. He
taught harmony and composition in
King county School of Music, Brooklyn,
and then served III the capacity of critic
teacher i'll the New York Training
School for Teachers, after which he was
supervisor of music in the Brooklyn
Institute. We also learn of him as
director Of the Pratt INSTITUTED, Choral
Society and the Brooklyn Y. NJ. Q. A.
Glee Club. He then came west and
took charge Of the music at Benzonia
college and built the department up
from four students to three hundred III
two years.
Miss Torrance graduated from the
American Conservatory of music in
Chicago and took post graduate course
under Madame Boetti at the Chicago
Conservatory. Besides giving private |,
lessons and singing in church and con-
cert III Chicago Miss Torrance has held
prominent positions i'll La Crosse Wis,
and Ter1e Haute, Ind.
Prof. Glasson and Miss Torrance are
very ably assisted by Miss Franklin and |
Mr.. Powers. 1t has been the aim of |
Prof Glasson to have conservatory |
where the pupil could take any kind OF |
music desired, and to secure only the |
best ins tructors.
The concert next Tuesday evening |
will be fair sample of the work done.
Besides the operas mentioned above, the
orchestra will play the new march,
Alma College Boys" composed by
Prof. Glasson and dedicated to the foot
ball teams, being one of several pieces
original with himself. Miss Torrance's
line voice will be heard in several solos
and violin solo Will be given by Prof.
Horst Besides other selections the Choral
Society will sing Praise Ye the Father"
by GOunOd, with orchestral accompani-
ment. Miss Grace Butts OF Saginaw,
who has just returned from the
Boston Conservatory, Will play the piano :
