SOCIALISM PROSCRIBED.

( L. S. Meyers, who, has been staying at the Monnett Children’s Home for some time, looking after the management of the lands, etc., is a brother of the Dr. Meyers of Chicago who is at the head of the Chicago Training School, which institution was given the 1,000 acres of land lying adjacent to Rensselaer by Miss C. P. Monnett about one year ago and from which the Monnett homestead and grounds were given to the Deaconess Society for the establishment of the home above mentioned. payers is a socialist, and is alleged 'to have gotten the socialist speaker here who spoke on the street Friday iHght, Saturday and Sathfday night, and that the latter stall out to the Home with' Meyers wh|t'e here. Mne “friend” seems to have reported the matter to Dr. Meyers and put' up a great howl about the speaking, and the latter is said to have written his brother here that tbit “socialist talk mußt be cut out*’ The fear seems to be that a lew votes may be coaxed away frogn the g. o. p., as there is no disaffection among the democrats and the socialist idea does not appeal to them.
