PARLoR SOCIALISTS
Organize international Educational
Alliance.

NEW YORK, May 2s.--Plans for
organizing an international body of
''parlor socialists" to be known as
the International Socialist Educa-
tional Alliance, and to be composed
OF clergymen and men of other pro-
fessions, were made today at a meet
ing of the Christian Socialist
Fellowship. The Rev. John d. Long,
the Rev. Chas. Vail, the Rev. e. e.
Carr, Edwin Markham, the poet. DR..
M. Thorner, a Jewish rabbi. and
other clergymen and literary workers
are interested In the movement.
In speaking Of the objects OF the
international alliance, the Rev. John
d. Long, secretary of the conference,
said:
1T is likely that the proposed
broader movement will be inaugu-
rated by a mass meeting to be held
early in June, to which all the pro-
fessional classes in Greater New
York, physicians, lawyers, teachers,
authors and clergymen will be in
vited to attend.
ut is known that large numbers
of these intellectual proletarians are
in sympathy with Socialism, and the
organization of the proposed alliance
Is to form body which will develop
and present the ethical and cultural
sides of socialism, seeking likewise
to create native literature on the
subject which will appeal to the
American public. 1t will be formed
for two fold purpose, one object
being to reach the educated pro-
letarians with the philosophy of So
cialism and another of training those
less fortunate in the enjoyment of
educational advantages in the best
methods Of advocating and present
In the teachings of socialism"

COUNTY SEAT GOSSIP.
Sentiment in st. Joe Precinct Favors
Removal.

Removal.
During the past week more than
ever we had occasion to interview
the voters OF ct. Joe precinct upon
the question OF county seat removal
and we fnd that the opinion, ex-
pressed upon former occasions. that
the precinct will vote solidly for
Occur d'Alene was more than Justi-
ned.
The people of the st. Joe precinct
feel that by voting for the removal
OF the seat Of county government
from Rathdrum to Occur d'Alene
they have nothing to lose and much
70 gain. They know that the time
has come when the county needs
new buildings and they are rather
pleased than otherwise that they
are TO be given q voice in the
selection OF the site for such new
buildings, Being provided with such
opportunity by the petition now
being circulated In behalf OF Occur
d'Alene they win look only to their
interests In the casting OF their bal
lets. There Is no gainSaying the
logic Of their argument that the
closer the county seat and the shorter
the distance to travel. everyone re-
siding south OF Occur d'Alene will
be actual money ahead by way OF
saving travelling expenses and the
saving Of time. Having been brought
70 realize the futility OF st. Marle's
claim 70 the county seat honors,
they win throw all their votes for
Occur d'Alene.
The splendid boat service recently
inaugurated win make II possible
for 81. Joe residents to come and &c
at most any time II suits their con
veAionoe. makes II possible TO go e
the county seat at Occur d'Alene
transact their business, and return
the same day, where az the county
seat 10 now situated II can scarcely
Be done In two days. and usually
Il requires three days. BY voting
for the removal they win cut Of
this Indirect tax.-st. Joe Palladium
