SOCIABLE POLITICS.
The organization and working
methods of the Labor party of
New York city present some novel
and interesting features. In every
assembly and in most election dis
tricts, regular monthly business
meetings are held, and in nearly
half the districts permanent head
quarters have been secured, many
of which are open every evening.
These district organizations have
no pecuniary resources outside of
the purses of the members. The
hat is passed round to collect
funds to pay rent and current ex
penses, and each member is as
sessed 10 cents a month, but the
charge is not strictly enforced, and
receipts from that source are
meager and uncertain. Under the
circumstances the maintenance ot
a vigorous organization indicates
the zealous devotion of the party
to its objects, and accounts for the
confidence with which its leaders
declare their ability to carry the
city at the next election.
It is the social side of fhis polit
ical movement, says the S. F. Bul
letin, which forms its most remark
able feature. Members take their
wives and children with them to
the business meetings of the dis
trict assemblies, and in some cases
women take part in debate. The
assemblies hold "entertainment"
as often as business meetings,
and speeches, recitations and
musio displace liquor and
tobacco, which, by tacit consent,
are forbidden at these labor meet
ings. A piano is almost as con
stant a feature of the various dis
trict headquarters as a secretary's
table, and often very fair amateur
concerts are given. In some dis
sricts semi-weekly debates on eco
nomic subjects are held, and the
speakers often show close familiar
ity with the works, not only of the
prophets and teachers of their own
politico-economic faith, but of the
leading authors on various sides of
the question. No such instance
of the welding of social and polit
ical affairs has ever been known in
the United States, except, possi
bly, in the Grange movement,
but there the conditions are so dif
ferent that a parallel can hardly be
drawn. "What the ultimate effect
of this feature may be on the
methods and prospects of the party
remains to be shown, but unpreju
diced observers admit that its im
mediate result is good. No doubt
it grows out of an enthusiastic
faith that this political movement
will bring about a decided change
for tho better in the condition of
the working classes. Anticipation
is apt to outrun possession in this,
as in many other matters, and it
would be unsafe to predict the per
manence of thisfeature of political
life in New' York, or. its develop
ment in our other great citis.
Losses by fire on the Pacific
coast during the month of May,
says the Pacific Underwriter, were
8239,119, divided as follews: California,'-
$218,800; Oregon, $2,362;
"Washington territory, $6,320; Mon
tana territory, 811,637.

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver i3 torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi
gested, poisoning the
olood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi
tude, despondency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
It acts with extraor
dinary power and efficacy.
NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
As a general family remedy for Dyspepsia,
Torpid Liver, Constipation, etc., I hardly
ever use anytmng else, ana nave never
so anything
been disappointed in the effect produced;
It seems to be almost a perfect euro for all
diseases of the Stomach and Eowcls.
