How many cholera deaths have occurred in Liverpool, or in London? Perhaps as many as in New York, or perhaps twice as many. But London and Liverpool maintain no such quarantine as we have here: passengers who are found to be in good health are permitted to land and to go whithersoever they please"]; "Chili and the 'Irish Vote'"; "Domestic Service" ["The repugnance of women to domestic service is justly regarded as a very important social phenomenon, for it portends nothing less than a revolution in family life"]); "How Would This Thing Work?" by Individualist Anarchist J. [M.] Armsden (on Anarchism) with a "Rejoinder" by Associate Editor J.W. Sullivan; letter from Robert H. Cowdrey headlined "Mr. Cowdrey Heartily Supports Direct Legislation" (Robert H.

Brown (who claims he was healed from severe asthma attacks); "Is Homestead Portentous of a General Class War?" by J. W. Sullivan ("II. - The Story of Homestead (Continued)"); one-column "A Freethought Political Party" by B. F. [Benjamin Franklin] Underwood ("I see by a paragraph in the Twentieth Century that somebody has formed, or is to form, a Freethought political party. That is rich!"); Correspondence; column Politics and Economics (lengthy report "Progress in the Topolobampo [Bay] Colony" by Rudolf Kobitzsch); columns Science and the Useful Arts, The Working of the Yeast, and Our Weekly News-Letter.
