THE COMMUNISTS RELIGION.

AFrcnch Positivist, eminently fitted
both by his position and by his talents
to form n correct Judgment Of the men
upon whom he passes n verdict, has
sent to Mr.. BeeSly, Of London, n COM
m~unication describing the leaders of
the Commune, in which he nses the
following language:
Their philosophy is atheism. materi-
alism, the negation of all religion
their political programme Is absolute
individual liberty, by means OF the
suppression Of government, and the
division of nationalitieS into COM
munes more or less federated their
political economy consists essentially
in the diSpoSseSsion, with compensl-
ton, Of the present holders Of capital,
and in assigning the coin, instruments
of labor and land. to associations Of
workmen; their historical theory Is
that the nobility and the bourgoiSe
have each had their reign, and the
turn Of the proletariat has now come.
They exclude all that l. outside the
working class from society, consider
ing Ii as socially and even physiolocic-
ally efste. Such Is the doctrine of the
Central Committee Of the National
Guard and Communal Council. sitting
Mt the Hotel de Vile, which since the
18th of last March have been absolute
masters of Paris. The competent au-
thority from whom we receive this
statement goes on to say: Neither
the committee nor the council has put
forward this programme In an Official
way, and they defer the execution OF
It BY governmental or forcloie means
till after the victory which they reckon
OIL gaining over the Versailles party.
If this be, as we have reason to be-
lieve it is, n correct view Of the hopes
and dreams Of the men now selling
their lives rs dearly rs they. may be-
tween the ~implacable advance Of Mac
Mahon and the memorable lines of the
German bayonets, 1t Is clear that the
victory of the Versaillists has at least
saved Paris and the Communists them
selves from a fate In comparison with
which all that has now overtaken that
beautiful but unfortunate city is slight
and easy to be borne.

nur "F1RE

For a week or ten days past there
bavs been Il great many "fires" or
"conflagrations" in various parts OF
the United States. Some have been
local, destroying factories and dwell
ings, and others have spread over large
tracts Of country, consuming miles and
miles OF timber. These casualties
seemed to have become epidemic"
so to speak, and much ingenious theo-
rizing has been brought to bear on
the discussion Of the subject. Occa-
sionally we find it stated that it Is an
outbreak of incendiarism, the fever for
which, it is said, spreads like conta-
gion. 1t requires but short examine
ton, however, to find other and much
more likely uses AS to the wide
spread fires in the forests of north
eastern Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Canada and elsewhere, they
can all be accounted for by the high
heats and excessively dry weather Of
the period involved, which have re-
duced the leaves and decayed wood Of
the forests almost to the condition Of
finder, ready to blaze up from the
chance contact of a burning wad from
Il shotgun, the sparks from the pass
ing locomotive, or n ~carelessly thrown
match or cigar. In cooler and wetter
seasons the risk Of destructive fires
from such chances is not 4 hundredth
part so great, and this is why there are
so few at such seasons, and why they
are SO frequent and numerous in "the
hot aud dry spells" 1t may not be
productive OF as much good as We
could desire to remind people Of this,
but it will certainly do no harm to set
them to thinking that they cannot
leave burning gun-wads, or light fires,
or throw about matches and lighted
cigars, among the dry leaves in mid
| Summer, when there has been no re-
cent rain, with the same impunity as
in mid Winter, when the woods are
wet or the ground covered with snow.
The prime cause Of "flres" in both
country and town Is in~attention to the
teachings of experience, and very fire.
