members. And instead of being sternly re-
buked, the tendency to gossip is oftentimes
encouraged or winEed at by the clergy, or
at most is only made the subject of good ma
tured badinage.
The offense is one Of the gravest nature,
pregnant with the most important conse
quences. Tt should command the attention
of all church members as well as of the
clergy. TIE slanderer is a loathsome rep

compelled either to prove the truth of his
allegations, OIL to retract them in a public
manner; and it is the duty of the church,
as the conservator of the morals of the com
munity, to institute the reform. All SIAN
derers do not belong to the church, and we
do not expect that the church can work a
thorough reform in the matter T; but by set
ting good example by holding its men,
bers to strict accountability for their utter

deliberately or thoughtlessly bear false wit
ness against their neighbors, it can exercise
a powerful influence upon the morals of the
community at large, besides obeying the
commands of the master it processes to
serve. AS long as he church overlooks the
envious and malicious gossip which pervades
every part of its body polite, how can it
consistently denounce the ofense

And it should not be forgotten
that ISLANDERS emanating from church mem

chief than those set ahoat by others. They
go abroad as by authority-their truth in

statements carry greater weight than if they

therefore doubly incumbent upon the
church to put check mon the ISLANDERS that
proceed from the church, and to punish il

will guarantee that if the church moves in

THE FAILURE OF SOCIALISM.

1t will be instructive at this time, when So
ciety is shaken to it's foundation by the agi-
tation of the so-called socialists, to examine
the experiments that have heretofore been
made to work revolution in our social sys-
tenn. We have the warrant of one of the
apostles for the statement that as one of the
results of the religious fervor which sue
ceeded the gift of the Holy Ghost on the day
of Pentecost, "all that believed were together,
and had all things common; and sold their
possessions and goods, and parted them to
all men, as every man had need.' But this
seems to have been period of exceptional
grace that was soon overcome, for neither
sacred nor profane history records that it
was maintained for any length of time. Men
returned very soon to their old modes of
life. But ever since then, socialism has
possessed its attractions for a few mortals in
all nations, and the effort to attain absolute
fraternity among men has been more or less
spasmodic. The theory has never yet been
abandoned wholly, and at the present time
it seems to have obtained particular strength
both in Germany and America.
Communism, although in theory desira-
BILE condition Of society, perhaps, is, under
our present political system, unattainable.
1t lacks one element-a willingness on the
part of those who possess wealth to divide
with their neighbors. It is strong in the
willingness of those who have nothing to
partake of the plenty of others, but
has no other element of positive
strength. Until the reluctance of
property owners to sharing the
results of their efforts with others can be
overcome-until selfshness can be eradi

Gated from the human breast-all efforts to
establish a perfect community must of neces-
sity be failures.
A case in point is furnished by the Oneida
community. This society was started many
years ago, about the time of the Fourier
excitement, and as one of the fruits of the
''advanced ideas'' of that eo-called philoso-
pher. At the same time other communities
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and
other States were formed. For a time all
prospered finely. All property was pool
ed, and every member worked for the com
mon interest. Bnt one after another be-
came disorganized. The communistic theo-
ny invaded the domestic relations, and the
colonies became perfect hotbeds of icen-
tionsuess, and finally either fell to pieces
from their own rottenness or were sup
pressed by the police authorities asdetrimen-
tai to the public morals. To-day there are
but three in existence-the Oneida commu-
nifty, colony Of Dutch socialists in North
ern Ohio, and small community in Western
Iowa. In these, however, the seeds of dis
indignation have been sown, and they begin
to show signs of speedy dissolution. All of
them are prosperous commercially. They
produce and sell sufficient to maintain all
| members in comfort and leave comforta-
BILE balance for the general bank account.
But assertions, especially among the
younger members, are becoming alarmingly
frequent. They revolt from community
of intercourse, and pine TO,
the true domestic and family
relations which are inconsistent with
the theories of socialism. Secessions have
already become SO numerous as to bode dis
aster and utter dissolution ere many years
along adhered to the principles of commun
ism have been obliged to confess their failure
when put into practice.
When those who have adopted socialism as
a religion, and practiced it under the mos
favorable conditions, are compelled to admi
the failure of the theory, how much more
likely are the present agitators to meet with
disaster. They are unable to give any good
reason for anticipating success. They demand
simply division of worldly goods, not seem
ing to realize that while some may improve
their opportunities, and profit by the star
given them in life, others-and by far thu
largest portion-would neglect their chances
or dissipate their substance, and that ere
year had passed another division would b.
required to maintain the equilibrium.
Communism, even if desirable on genera
principles, is utterly impracticable. 1t is i'm
possible to make some men industrious ant
frugal, and they would succeed in squander
ing what others could make and save. Ant
it is impossible, as it is undesirable, to crust
the ambition of others. Such would be tn
tendency, however, of communistic govern
ment, for the moment you remove the in
centive to labor-the hope of attaining pre-
eminence-you destroy industry and man
hood. Socialism is absolutely impossible O
attainment, and must always be failure
except OIL an extremely limited scale. Th,
present agitation, therefore, is Utopian, and
bound to meet with overthrow. No danger
to society can exist from it as long as human
| nature remains as it is.

SLANDER.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbour Xxx: 16.
A mans reputation is his chief possession
To achieve an honorable distinction among
his fellows-to rise above the common herd
of mankind-is his chief ambition. For
this he labors with his hands and his brain;
for this he sacrifices his comfort and his
appetite; to this he subordinates all else.
To protect his honor, or the honor of those
he holds dear; he will sacrifice his prosperity
and his life, for with the wreck of his hon OF
comes the loss of all incentive to effort, all
desire to live and labor. Without an honor
able name a mans life is blight-an exist
ence not worth living an empty nothing.
This being the case, is it not marvellous
with what freedom people generally regard
and trile with the reputation of their neigh
bors? word lightly spoken, the curl of a
lip, a sneer, create distrust of the integrity
of a man who has by years of noble effort
built for himself character for uprightness

suspicion upon the virtue of woman whose
life has been blameless. The voice of
calumny seems to be all-pervading in our
society, and even though one be as chaste as

How often do we note the ruin of life's
hopes-of lfe's ambition-cau by some

The Champion Badge Shoot Results in
Much Effective Powder Burning.
The shooting for the champion badge of
the st. Paul Sportsmens club is always the
signal for large gathering of sportsmen
and other spectators who delight in such ex-
hibitions of skill, nerve and quickness as
pigeon-shooting demands. The attendance
yesterday at the clubs grounds at Lake
Como was no exception to the previous ex-
perience on other similar occasions, one
marked feature being the presence Of quite a
number of ladies. The weather, in itself,
was an attraction, being all that could be de-
sired.
There are special rules governing the
holding and shooting for the champion
bridge, which is magnigcent and massive
gold medal and beautifully designed,
enamelled and chased, and the association
surrounding it, arising from the numerous
and brilliant contests that have been held for
its possession, render the trophy one that
is much coveted. It is won in a match of
twenty single rises at twenty one yards, and
the rules are such that only the holder and
the challenger can shoot for it at any one
| contest, thus concentrating the interest at
taching thereto into a keen focus. If the
| holder of the badge succeeds in retaining it
for two consecutive years it becomes his in
| diyidual property thereafter. 1t has not,
| however, been SO held, there always having
occurred some slip by which the holder has
lost the medal before the two years
expired. Mr.. G. A. Zimmerman has held
it for the longest period it has been retained
by any one man, namely year and three
quarters, Mr.. Baldwin, the present holder,
won the medal last fall, SO that he will prob
ably have number of foemen worthy of his
acknowledged skill to contend against ere
the fall of 1879 comes round. Yesterday g
contest for tue badge was interesting from
the fact that Mr.. Beaupre, the challenger,
and the holder were considered to be toler-
ably evenly matched, and the expectation of
| close shooting was quite natural. Mr.. Beau
pre- was, however, somewhat unfortunate,
his birds being more difficult in their rises
and flights than those of his opponent. In
other words, he had to shoot with luck against
him. This is proved by the fact of two
of his birds unfortunately falling dead out
of bounds, that most disheartening of all
mishaps to shooter.
The match was called precisely at 8 P. M.
and resulted in the following score:
