a NEW PARTY ALREADY PLAN
MING.

The north has been a section of
"isms." The country at large threatens
TO become still more a country OF politi-
cal parties and Christian sects. There
IS unrest and dissatisfaction, and am
bilious men are ever plotting to see
what new things can be started TO
catch the people and give them a
chance at h pudding. The same day
the 1Sth-saw two dispatches sent,
one that are rather ridiculous so soon
after the tidal-wave and before its
damage to the country is all known.
From Topeka ("bleeding" Kansas)
comes news of a meeting of populists
to start a new party-of course a ire
form party-Iike that which operated
so powerfully in North Carolina to the
undoing of the democracy and the de-
spelling of the state. The dispatch
says:
TT is to be organized along social
list lines, but will be called some other
name on accoun of the odium that now
attaches to the word socialism
THE new party will be built on a
platform broad enough TO catch all the
reform elements, and also the democ-
racy of the south and west Mr.. Hoff-
man declared that the only hope of
success of a reform party lies in a &C.
menting OF southern and western ideas
and a complete Mo of political
strength in those sections. A big on
ference Of Kansas leaders will be held
shortly to lay plans for a conference
Of national reform leaders next spring"
If southern democrats are cautious
and wise they will give heed to such
radical movement. An abandonment of
democratic principles is always hazard
Gus. From Boston, Mass, the
announcement that it is proposed "to
build up a new party''-to do this by
uniting all the reform forces under the
leadership of Hon. w. j. Bryan. Mr..
George F. Washburn, of Boston, presi-
dent OF the Bryan club, of Massachu-
setts, and treasurer of the National
Committee Of the Peoples party, has
issued an address looking to that end.
1t looks as if this movement and that
at Topeka were one and the same. The
announcement Of their purpose ap-
pears on the same day, and populists
are at the head of each movement. 1t
is an attempt to revive the almost de-
funct party, and it will hardly draw
same and sensible democrats into their
fold. A burnt child breads fire. A
party scorched by ~pretenders and
frauds will not seek another s%corching.

OF IMPORTANCE TO CUBA
The Railroad the Cuba Company Is
Building. But without n Franchise.

Santiago, de Cuba, November 21.-
Before returning to Washington Sec
rotary Root will meet Sir William van
Horn, at Puerto Principe. Local busi-
ness interests are intensely anxious
with reference to the action of the
Cuba Company, of which Sir William
van Horn is president. The company
is now employing 1000 men in the con-
struction of a railroad, but without a
franchise. Every one in this part Of
Cuba wants the line built; but the
Foraker resolution forbids the granting
of railroad concessions.
General Wood, referring to the mat
ter today, said: THE Cuba Company
is doing an excellent but an unauthor-
lied work in building the road. 1t has
no franchise. / assume, however, hat
the Cuban republic of the future will
legitimatiZe h company's action and
grant it the privilege Of doing business"

that there are legislators in Georgia
who do not throw up their hats to CO.
education. They have not yet surren-
dered altogether to the northern fad.
1t is now apparent that the bill before
the legislature to admit girls to the
textile department of the Georgia
School OF Technology, Will meet with
strong opposition. It may pass, and
probably will pass, but there is oppo-
sition, and that is a good sign and
shows there is not a complete surren-
der. The faculty of the school con-
cerned is opposed to the mixing up of
the two sexes 1t would be gratifying
to report the defeat OF the bill.

TO SAVE THE WAITS.
MRS WILLIAMSON'S WORK ON THE NEW
JERSEY STATE BOARD OF Chill
DREN'S GUARDIANS

The State Board of ChIdren's Guardians OF
New-Jersey is engaged in carrying out the axiom
save the children" in a practical manner This
Board. which has been in existence less than a wear
and a half, is largely the creation of Mrs. Emily
E Williamson. OF Elizabeth, the president of the
State Federation of Womens Clubs
The three Commissioners on Dependent Chill
dren. who framed the present bill and secured
through earnest efforts It's passage by the Leglsla-
ture, were Mrs. Williamson. Hugh F Fox of Bay-
onne. and a. T. Williams. of Trenton The system
is unique in respects in others 1t is mod
eled after similar societies in Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania
The work Of this Board consists in taking charge
OF all dependent children who have been committed
to almshouses throughout the State The children
are taken from these institutions and placed in
suitable homes all cases being carefully investi-
gated. Some adopted by families and others
boarded out for certain periods In many of the
latter instances the people have become attached
to the little waits that they have decided to keep
them without charge rather than part with them.
There are also many cases Of relatives who could
take care of the children and have shirked their
duty These are looked up and compelled to as
sumo the responsibility that belongs to them.
Inc children in homes visited every other
month, and regular reports are received from
school teachers, pastors and priests The work of
the Board Is strictly non-sectarian. It proceeds
upon the theory that children require home life
ana something approaching parental care and that
large institutions can give them the neces-
sary personal supervision and individual love. and
therefore can never them from degeneratng
influences. So far the working of this theory has
been most successful and benefcent over two
hundred children have been removed from aims
houses and five hundred homes have been Wis
ited and investigated. In fact all the almshouses
In tho State have been emptied Of children, except
that of Hudson County
The Board is working in harmony with all the
counties. cities and towns in the State, with the
exception Of Hudson County. which questions the
consttutionality Of the act creating the Board
Mrs. Williamson assumed the Office OF superin-
tendent OF the Board without a salary. the State
appropriation being only sufficient for maintaining
an office and an agent. It is expected that next
year an appropriation Will be made for the super
intendent.
