Bliss on Current Con- ceptions of That Sys- tem of Government. | | His Address Be'ore the Socialist Labor Party Last Night. | Sccialism Means Practical and Peace- ful Revolution—Bakurin and Marx Compared. Rev. McD. P. Bliss was the guest of the Socialist Labor party last night, under whose auspices he delivered an address at | the Tark-street Temple. The Rev. J. E. | Scott presided by special request and the Rey. William Hall Moreland of St. Luke's Church also occupied a seat upon the platform. Rev. Mr. Bliss, on rising, was accorded 8 most cordial reception. ‘“Brothersand gisters and comrades of the Socialist Labor | party,” he said, “if 1 am here as an Epis- | copal minister, Iam also here asa political socialist, and 1 desire to tell you frecly | and frankly what I think we should do ‘n | order to realize socialism. I am not sure that I agree with all of you. Socialism, you know, stands for free thought. free | manhood, 'and each man has a right to think his’ own thoughts, and on the broad platiorm of the Socialist Labor party I have the right to differ from you. To- night, however, I wish to tell you what I mean by Christian socialisnl. | True socialism is of the whole bod. of the nead, of the heart, and when it | comes to vote, of the hand.” Christian so- cialism emphasizes the socialism of the { beart. Itis not opposed to political so- cialism or to Fabian socialism, or to any | other kind. It simply says that asa part of socialism we must” bave the socialism | of the heart. The phraseCh n secial- ism_has two faciors—ibat of Christ and Christianity and of straight socialism. By Christian socialism I do not mean milk | and water socialism, but rather the Social- | ist Labor party in the true spirit of Jesus | Const. |~ “The purely economic part of socialism |.is not anarchy, with all due respect to the | Republican and Democratic papers, but the foe of anarchy, while plutocracy is the In those countries of re there is most socialsm there narchy. Germany, Belgium, nd Switzerland are leading in | socialism, and they are not the countries | in which men are throwing bombs and making dynamite. In the same ratio as develop socialism you prevent v, and just so far as you ‘down’ m you develop anareiy. At the same t alism is revolutionary, but it is practical revolution, and thereiore of the head and not of force.” Mr. Bliss traced the rise and growth of m during the last half century. ew a parallel between the destruc- propaganda of Bakurin and the tive theories of Kerl Marx. The latter, though quite as revolutiona as those pro- poundeda uy the Russian anarchist, pro- revolution by evolution. The worid ' soon recognized that Bakurin‘'s theories were not practical, and that anarchy could not create the co-operative commonwealth. | To-day, therefore, anarchistic commun- | ism, was dead. Marx, on the other hand, | turned the socialistic wave into a law- abiding channel, and his name was hon- ored by hundreds while Bakurin's was | honored by only one. “Sociaiism,” said the lecturer, ‘“is the foe of patern: It1snot the expa sion of the Sta some people think Nor are National railroads, nor municipal local transit necessarily socialism. Social- ism rather depends upon who Uncle Sam is. In Toronto, for example, I was told that they preferred an Albert Edward |limited to an Andrew Carnegie un- | limited."” All true socialists, such as Owen, Fourier, St. Simon, Engels, Lassalle, Bebel, William Morris, Marx, Maurice, | Charles Hughes and Kingsley were, he insisted, essentially democrats and foes of paternalism, and the socialists of France | opposed land nationalization, hecause they were not satisfied that the Govern- | ment was really the people. Socialism | was essentially fraternal, He drew a care- | ful distinction between a nominal and a | genuine democracy, and stated his convic- | tion that nowhere in Europe, except per- | haps in Russia, would Debs have been so unfairly treated asin America. The iacts of mod history were a contradiction of | the evervday assertion that socialism was | an impracticaole dream. | In Germany 1,800,000 persons voted for the party and the present position sug- gested 2 game of chess between the people and the Kaiser, in which, Mr. Bliss added, | the people had checkmate. Both in Bel- | giura and England the outlook was equally promising. “‘Socialism then,” continued Mr. Bliss, “is the co-operative commonwealith, the ownersbip and operation of land and capi- tal by the people united collectively.” | He admitted that its complete realiza- tion must be gradual, and in diffcrent | countries its evolution would assume aif- | ferent forms. It would be necessary to | educate, agitate and organize, and this agitation, organization and education | must_have as wide a scope as possible. | Socialism meant the true triumph of indi- viauality, and it was because he believed in the freedom of tho individual that he | was a socialist. ANNA JOHNSON’S DEATH. [ Dr. ©. 3. tharp Charged by the Coro- | ner’s Jury With Being Respon- sible for it. OAKLAND, Car, Jan. 6.—An inquest | was held to-night into the death of Anna | Johnson. The facts in the case have already been published. Many witnesses | were examined, and the jury returned a | verdict that charged Dr. C.J. Sharp with being responsible for the girl’s death be- cause of performing an illegal operation. ——————— AINSWORTH A BENEDICT. Oakland. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan, 6.—The friends of Captain George R, R. Ainsworth were much surprised this evening to learn that ne had taken a bride in the person of Miss Ids Murphy of Oakland, a young lady 18 years of age. The couple proceeded to San Francisco this afternoon, where a marriage license was issued to them and the marriage ceremony performed. The couple have not returned to Oakland to-night, and are sapposed to spending their honeymoon in | 8an Fraucisco. No one in Oaklana imagined that Captain Ainsworth contem- »iated marriagé, his friendship for Miss Ritrphy being looked upon as a sort of & fatnerly regard for her, which she recipro- cated as a daughter would. Captain Ainsworth is 65 years of age, | and has kept a grocery-store in West Oak- land for a long time. He is supposea to be quite well to do. Miss Murphy lived | near Captain Ainsworth's store and her acquaintance with him began some four months ago, culminating to-day in her marriage.

THE LORING CLUB IN HARD LUCK Associate Membership of the Famous Society Dwindling, Co-Operation Among Cultured People May Aid the Artis- tic Work. Active Members Will Carry It Op, and a Committee Will Enlist Music-Lovers. There have been rumors that the cele- | brated Loring Club, the sociéty choir par | excellence, might be forced to disband. | At the regular monthly meeting of the club held last Monday night the gradual and consequent deficiency of funds were | discussed, with the result that a commut- | tee was appointed to decide what was best to do under the circumstances and | devise ways and means of reviving inter- | est in the association and building up the membership. Another result of the discussion was the passing of a resolution by almost | unanimous vote that the active members— | that is, the musicians themselves—would go dowa into their own pockets for the money necessary to keep up tne club and | maintain its high standard. The committee appointed consists of | Messrs. J. J. Morris, E. H. Hueler and Waiter 8. Mackay. They will meet to- morrow night and report to the clubat a | meeting to be held Monday night. No | consultation has as yet been had with the | advisory bosrd, and it is expected that | from some of the members of it may come | some suggestions which will help to solve the difficulties. In any event the decision has been made to continue the club’s ex- | istence, and the necessary funds will be | forthcoming. | The active membership of the club, which consists of the members who sing in the concerts, has not fallen off at all, either in numbers or efficiency, but the | associate’ membership, which consists of people who subscrie $10 per annum to enjoy the concerts, has, on account of the recent hard times, dwindled away from over 200 members to about 80, and conse- quently their contributions are not suf- ficient to meet the necessary expenses. These members, in return for their sub- scriptions, have four concerts per annum given them of the highest class, and at each concert they are furnished four tick- ets to give 1o their friend:. The clubis a ! semi-private one and no one is admitted | to the concerts but the subscribers and | their friends, consequently the diminish- |ing of the association membership has endangered the club’s existence, It is considered by the thoughtful much to be regretted that an organization which bas done such excellent work in tue past should not be -up%oned by the people of San Francisco with a membership large enough to maintain the club at the same high standard which was set by Mr. Loring when he built it up. It has an active membership of sixty highly trained male voices, and they are capable of giv- ing a first-cless rendition of the finest music composed by any ot the great mas- ters. It is an organization of musical talent of which this or any city might be proud, but Mr. Loring says that it is ap- pareutly much more appreciated by music- lovers in the East, who have enjoyed the concerts while visiting_here, than it is by its own people. Actm";filng to him it seems to be & case of a prophet not being_with- out honor save in his own country. Nearly every one of the well-trained musicians is, or has been, a member of it, and gained his standing as a musiclan largely through means of that mempership. In some of the concerts given in the past they were assisted by tue Schumann Club of sixty femgle voices. In others they bave had a full orchestra, and have given tne subscribers musical treats which | cost $700 for thesingle performance. From this it can readily be seen how necessary it is to revive interest in the club and join its associate subscribers if this deserving factor in the culture of the City is to be maintained in its pristine excellence. David W. Loring, who foundea the club tweaty years ago, is a fine musician, and he says the voices are all of a high order, {and that their training in singing to- gether in perfect unison is deserving of far more appreciation than Ban Francisco gives them. The renditions of the finest | and most difficuit music which they have given would do credit to Boston or any of the big centers of civilization. Mr. Loring, who was the musical director for eighteen years, has recently returned from Japan, where he spenttwo years. He is very de- sirous of seeing interest in the club re- newed. The present officers are: William Greer Harrison, president; Charles F. Crocker, vice-president; W. O. Stadtfeld, secretary; W. H. Murison, treasurer. The musical director is D. P. Hughes, and the ad- visory board consists of William Alvord, James D. Phelan, Mrs. William Alvord and Mrs, L. L. Baker. Recovered From the Bay. The body of an unknown man was found -floating in the bay off Lombard-street wharf by the Harbor Police yesterday. It was re- moved to the Morgue. The features were de- stroyed past recognition by the action of the water. Iheiman had been well dressed in a black cutaway suit. ‘wore cork-soled boots. In the pockeis of the garments were an open- face French watch, chain, pall file and a com- mon knife, | falling off in the associate membership | ITS CHIMNEY WILL BE A LANEMARK Towering Feature of the New Crematory for Garbage. It Will Be 250 Feet High and Visible All Over This City and Oakland. Largest Incinerator Plant in the World to Be Erected at a Cost of $100,000. The garbage crematory waich will soon | be built in this City is the same as that | which has been in successful operation in | the city of Montreal for the past four years. It will be buiit under the superin- tendency of the inventor of the Montreal | plant, Charles Thackeray. The buiiding will be of brick and iron, two stories high. It has a frontage of 262 feet by a depth of 120 feet. The chimney is the vemarkable feature of the works. It will bs 250 feet high and will be seen | irom all parts of the City and Oakland. Its base is 43 feet and the flue is 14 feer diameter inside measurement. There will be thirty-two furnaces, which will permit thirty-two scavenger's carts driving into the building ana dumping the garbage into the furnaces at one time. The furnaces are so arranged that they may be all in operation at the same time or only a portion of them, as the quantity of | the garbage delivered may require. The block of land just purchased by the corporation will pe inclosed with a bigh | fence. No odors whatever will emanate | from the burning of the garbage, as the combustion and temperature of the fur- | naces is sufficient to overcome ali such | difficulties and one other feature being | especially adapted for this purpose, that | is, the down draught with the powertul suction of the chimney causes all the | odors, etc., to b: drawn down into the furnaces and passed over the hottest piace of the furnace. The temperature, ranging from 1500 to2000 degrees, is suffi- cient to consame and purify all and any odors that may arise. The garbage burns itself, no fuel whatever being required. There are also arranced in this plant four very large boilers, which will give | sufficient steam power for the company’s own private uses for electric light and 1or other incidental uses such asthe manu- facture of fireproot material for the fire- prooting of our modern buildings and the production of fertilizer and several other such things which the company has the intention of taking up in the near future. After the buildings have been completed and are in operation the company intends to so improve its own estate that it will be a great benefit to the surrounding dis- trict and also a credit to the City of San Francisco. This will be the largest incinerator plant in the world, as all other plants in Amer- ica and Europe have a capacity from 30 to 150 tons per day and this plant has a total capacity of 400 tons in the same time. At a meeting of the boara of directors held yesterday, President L, R. Ellert beingin the chair and a full board present. Secretary A. Sbarboro read the following list of successful bidders, to whom were awarded the contracts for the erection of the building: Brick work, Owen E. Brady & Son; curpenter work, Maccono & Rosso; iron work, including four California-made boilers, J. Hendy Machine Works; roofing, Conlin & Roberts. The bids aggregate nearly §100,000, The building will be erected on a block of Jand near the present dumps: Fitst, for the reason that it is easy of access to the scavengers, and second, for the further reason that although the plant will be worked with such neatness that it will not be more detrimental than the United States mint, still the board of airectors, desiring to avoid any possible cause of complaint, bave selected a place in the future manufacturing district, so that they can furnish facilities with their sur- plus steam power to the factories in their vicinity. It is understood that a meeting of the scavengers will soon be called, at which it is expected that utililctor{ arrange- ments will be made by which the scaven- gers wili'all retain their present position um{i their present condition be amelior- ated. The burning of 5nbue has been found to be the best and most economical dis- posal of cities’ refuse. The works at Los Angeles have been in successful opera- tion for some time, and lately Portland, Or., and Ban Diego, Cal., have also con- cluded to burn their garvage. Whoen the works will be in successiul operation they will give employment to a large number of laborers and “be a credit to the City of S8an Francisco. A HIT OF THE SEASON.

Since the announcement the finest stock of ladies’ wear has been cut to little or nothing.

Shortridge, editor and proprietor of THE CALL, for $100,000 on account of alleged libel, has been transferred from Lassen County to the Superior Court of San Francisco, FEE BILL FOUND INVALID N PART In Other Respects It Is Declared to Be Com- petent. Justices and Constables Win Their Cases in the State Supreme Court. Gen:ral Joy Among Township Officers Who Decided in Convention to Test the Law. The case of William Dwyer against W. ¥. Parker, Auditor of Santa Clara County, and also the case of Edward Haley against ‘W. F. Parker were decided in the Supreme Court yesterday. These cases brought into question the constitutionality of the fee bill. Dwyer claimed $141 fees due him as a Justice of the Peace, and Haley claimed fees as a constable. The conrt de- cided, the first case in favor of Dwyem The other case followed thedecisionin the Dwyer case. Justice Henshaw, writing the opinion, found that the question involved was the constitutionality of the act entitled ‘““‘An act to establish the fees of county and township officers and other officials and of jurors and witnesses within this State.” The act of 1895 proceeded to establish fees which justices of the peace may charge and collect, but limited the amount which they may retain as follows: For all ser- vices rendered in a criminal action or pro- ceeding, whether on examination or trial, §$3, provided that no morethan the sum of $75 shall be allowed out of the county treasury in misdemeanor cases toany one justice. Counsel for Dwyer claimed that these and other provisions in the act are uncon- stitutional, and that tuey are inseparable parts of the whole act, which must there- fore be declared invalid. Jusiice Hen- shaw did not take this sweeping view of the matter.. He found that cer:ain parts of the act are unconstitutional. The county government act, which was passed by the Legislature 1n 1893, provided for classifying counties according to popula- tion and regulated the compensaiion of all county and township officers according to their duties. It 1s apparent,” said Justice Hensbaw, “that the county government act of 1893 and the act of 1895, to establish the fees of county and township officers, both under- take to fix the compensation of Jystices of the Peace and Constables, and there is no conflict between the provisions in this re- ard. ““The constitution has provided that the Legislature shall regulate the compensa- tion of all county and township officers in proportion to the duties that they may perform. The conviction 1s irresisiible that the constitution has fixed a singie mode which must be adopted or followed in fixing the compensation of officers, and | that mode is to adjust the compensation in accordance with their respective duties, under a classitication of counties by popu- lation made for this purpose.’” Further on Justice Henshaw said that | the Legislature is forbidden to passany local or special law affecting fees or sala- ries of any officer. By the act of 1895 the Legisiature, unmindiul of this constitu- | tional provision, passed a law applicable to all county and township officers, declar- ing the amount of fees whica they were entitled to charge and collect from the citiz+n for the performance of their speci- | fied duties, But in the instances ennmer- ated it attempted to go further than this, and to fix or regulate the compensation of offenses to the classitication made in the county government act of 1893. This is | far beyond the power of the Legislature to do, and tue provisions of the act which undertake te do this are 1ilegaland in- valid. The Justice did not find, however, that the whole act is void. With certain excep- tions it remains a full and complete fee bill. The contention of Dwyer that his compensation is regulated by the county government act was found to be sound, Justices Harrison, Van Vieet, McFarland and Temple concurred. Oz TOWN OFFICERS GLAD. Rejolcing at San Jose Over the Test Case Outcome. SAN JOSE, CAr., Jan. 6.—Judge Dwyer and Constable Haley to-day received word | through their attorneys, F. E. Spencer and D. W. Burchard, that the new fee bill | which was enacted by the Legislature of | two years ago and which aroused such | consternation among the justices and con- stables of the State had been declared un- constitutional by the Supreme Court. The decision just rendered is on appeal from the Superior Court of this county in the cases of Constable Haley and Justice Dwyer against the county for jees under the old county government act. The suits were the result of action decided upon at a convention of township officers beld in Justice Dwyer’s courtroom in this city nearly two years ago. Justiee Dwyer was the promoter of the movement, and the meeting held in this city was attended by justices and_ constables from all the bay counties and as far south as San Luis Obispo. The officers affected will now be entitled to back fees. The constables and justices al! wore happy faces to-day, and Judge Dwyer was the recipient of many congratulations on the outcome of his fizht. : NOT A CLUB LIGHT Pacific Street Illuminated With Elec- tricity by the Exertions of Chris Bruse. Chris Bruse, who keeps a grocery on the corner of Pacific and Leavenworth streets, has started the agitation for more light on Pacific street, by erecting arc lamps between Hyde and Leavenworth. Associated with bim in this move of prog- ress are Charles Oswald, B. Frank, Bluhm & Rathjen and a few others. They unaertook to raise funds necessary to keep the block well Jighted, and they secured the following signatures to a sub- scription to have three arc lights erected in the block mentioned: Chris Bruse, grocer; Herman Klauenberg, barber: George Bauer, baker; 8. Back, dairy roduce; Charles Oswald, butcher; Bi E‘rlnk, dry goods; Bluhm & Rathjens, pork packers; Vennekohl Bros., grocers; W. Lonohimo, druggist; Garibaidi Bros., fruit store; John Eckelinan, plumber; M. Goodenough, jeweler; Kennedyv Bros., grocers; G. Mockel, furniture; D. Bada- racco, saloon; A. Wrede, property owner; 8t. Dennis, nrnpeni? owner; F. Pistolesi, property owner; F. Tillman, property owner. ‘With the subscriptions from those per- sons the lights are guaranteed for the next six months, and that block has suddenly loomed into prominence as being a lively section leading into Polk street. B e IR A Question of Paying Duty. ‘Within the next few days a case of more or less interest in commercial circles wiil be heard before the United States Commissioner. Some time ago the Southern Pacific Company recelved two consignments of creosote oils | | tors of the last will of James Phelan, de- | MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES | ing well this week. and other tar ncids. The railroad company contends that at the time of the importation these articles were entitled to be_entered free of duty under the coal-tar act.

The railroad company bas ap- pealed from this decision and the Commis sioners will take testimony. NO CAUSE FOR ACTION. The Supreme Court Finds Against Fran-'| cesca L. de Martin in Her Suit Against Alice Phelan. The Supreme Court has decided that Francesca L. de Martin had no cause for action egainst Alice Phelan et al, execu- ceased. The suit brought by Francesca L. de Martin was given publicity at the time it was begun. She alleged that on November 4, 1831, she owned land subject to mortgage which was of the value of $399,375, upon which James Phelan held mortgages amounting to $196,000. She had, she alleged also, at that time, thir- | teen children and she was in indigent cir- cumstances, destitute of available means of support, in great need, and unable to secure an additional loan upon the land or to sell the'same. ' She also alleged that Phelan, desiring to take advantage of her necessities, offered her first $4000, then $10,000 and then $19,- | 000 for her equity in the property, making these offers on successive days, and that, | in the meantime, Phelan bad advertised | the property for sale under an execution upon a decree of foreclosare, but had the sale postponed repeatediy for the purpose of securing her equity of redemption for | less than its value. | She also alleged that | she finally yielded to thteats, and on Jan- uary 4, 1881, accepted the ofter of $19,000. 1 Phelan hud fully intended, sheaverred, to offer $45,000 if he could not get the equity for less. The opinion of the Supreme Court was written by Justice Temple. It was found | therein that the complaint constitutes no cause of action. “Itis impossible to be- lieve,” said Justice Temple, “‘that counsel are serious in their contention that it con- stituted fraud or oppression upon the part of Phelan to conceal from bher the fact that be intended to offer her as much as $45,000 for her equity if he could not get it for less.” The court also found that the relations between the parties were in no sense fidu- ciary. The sale, even after the decree was obtained, was not hastened. *I can dis- cover no element of iraud, oppression or unfairness in the case,’’ said Justice Tem- ple in conclusion. The judement irom which an appeal was taken was therefore affirmed. Some Attractions That Draw Large Houses—Programme of the Nordica- Scalchi Concert. “The Old Homestead”’ is drawing satis- factory audiences at the Baldwin. The quartet and choir-singing are especially enjoyed. The next dramatic attraction at the Baldwin will be Modjeska, who will open on the 25th inst. in “Magda.” The members of the Joseph Murphy company at the Columbia are rapidly re- covering from their recent indisposition. The star himself was not well enough to act last night and may not be able to do so for some days; meanwhile his brother | will supply his place. Next week the company will present “Kerry Gow.” “In the Name of the Czar,” at the Grand, is a melodrama that teems with sensation and has concessions to the mors cheerful popular taste in the shape of a comic Irish groom and a French maid, who sing comic songs and generally enliven the gloom of life among anar- chists’ oppressors. The comic songs are all hailed with delight and are nightly encored. Leslie Morosco has s sym- pathetic part as the American, who always bobs up serenely in time to rescue his friend when he is at the last gasp, and Mortimer Snow takes kindly to the part of the friend who is rescued. *In the Name of the Czar” is well staged and the all- around caste is satisfactory. The double bill at the Alcazar is attract- The curtain-raiser is prettily acted and “A Serious Tangle” is one of those bright and frothy comedies which amuse an_audience without taxing any one’s mental capabilities. ‘“Jack and the Beanstalk” continues to tax the seating capacities of the Tivoli. Next week the second edition of the bur- lesque containing a number of new spe- cialties will be presented. The Orpheum’s really strong bill isreap- ing 1ts reward in the shape of packed houses. All the new acts have taken well, though the ballets still remain the chief attraction.
