Kearney and Schwab's enfranchsed laborer
to the possession of the capital of his en-
ployer is not likely to be one of roses But
the communistic theories have been put in
practice again and again in this country,
on Fourfer's basis, on st. Simon's, and
even lin Pnlteney, on the Ohio, on
Comte's. They have been tried by bodies
of men possessed of intelligence, culture.
sound comprehension of the principles which
they wished to prove correct by their lives,
and by large capital; yet from Brook Farm
to Oneida they have proved failures. Not
that they did not make money, when the aim
was money making. Several Of these COM
punities have grown enormously rich, as, for
instance, the Rappites, at Economy, below
Pittsburg. But, just as in the outside world,
the strong and shrewd invariably have become
leaders, and gobbled up the lions share
of honor fame, and substantial COM
fort, and the weak have gone under.
Go into any of these communities and
you can pick out at glance the

all scrupulOusly call each other brother. When

Fourier, COmte and all the red caps Of Ste.
Antoine to back him. The women in these
societies. where their individual lives as wives
and mothers are denied them, are invariably
lean, hungry, faded caricatures of their sex.
Amy corporation or system may ignore Nature,
but she knows how TO ayenge herself. Yet in
these fraternities communism in its every
phase has had fair play, with every favorable
chance of development
These poor Kearneys and Schwabs have
not even learned the alphabet of the system
they profess to teach. They gable of it as
ignorantly as boys who catch up popular
cry. Neither have they any more money than
knowledge to put their theories into prae-
tice. If their disciples wish to know what
Communism actually is, let them look at
these real towns and villages where it has
long been in operation, and see for themselves
whether the ignorant, the weak or the lazy
men succeed any better there than IN the old
fashioned world outside.

CoMMUNISTTc SOCIETIES.

Some of our contemporaries, in the dearth
of news this hot weather, are worrying them
selves a good deal as TO whether the Oneida
Perfectionists are going to dissolve or not. It
really is not question of the slightest i'm
portance to the general public. The leaders
in the Oneida Community are shrewd, money
making men, and they will probably contribute
their quota of work in the outside world and
make traps OF can vegetables quite as success
fully as now, under a religious banner. The
men and women, too, in the fraternity who
were drawn there by their sensual tastes will
practise RIGHTEOUSNESS outside, with as little
molestation as now. Such men as NOyes may
change their skies, but never their manners.
The history of communal societies in this
country, by the way, Is not especially en-
couraging to the ignorant workingmen who
are taking up the name Of communism as a
new catch-word, with very vague notions Of
the thing itself. Their idea OF it is apt to
be spoillng of the particular rich neighbor
whose comfortable surroundings offend their
senses, or a burning of his barn at least. A
good many difficulties lie as yet In the way

large aperture and short focal length,
and 10 rapid cOllodion process, but
mainly to careful series of ex-
periments made months beforehand to
ascertain the method of obtaining the best
Photographic results. DR.. Diapers account
will be read with wide interest, and New
Workers in particular will not be slow to con-
graduate him upon the brilliant results OF his
expedition. At the same hme the scientlhc
world would like to know more about those
photographs upon which everything depends.
How long were they exposed9 How many
sets were takeni Are the dark lines clearly
visible in the photographs taken during the
middle of the tOtality2 Do all the pictures
give the same results7 On these and similar
points Dr. Diapers account is provokingly
silent. Is it too much to hope that he Will
take an early opportunity to enlighten us
The facts, presented elsewhere, which have
been compiled by the Massachusetts, Bureau
of Statistics to show the condition of labor I'D
that State, furnish good answer to Its dema-
gOgues domestic and imported. The Bureau
found q 900 laborers out of employment on
the LIST of June, of whom nearly two-thlrds
were unskilled labOrers. This number, 1t IS
believed, would have been greatly reduced II
the enumeration had been made at buster
manufacturing season, though there is COM
pensation in the fact that it was made when
many persons had temporary employment on
farms. Admitting this figure to be larger
than it is we'll to have it, the report still de-
clares that there have been fewer de-
mands for charitable relief, throughout the
State, as shown by indisDutable evidence,
than for several years back; and the general
testimony of officials is that many Of those
who are without work would not take 1t II
they could get it. Taking this result as a
basis. the whole number of persons out OF en-
ployment in the United States is estimated
at $4,000, or less than six per cent
Of the aggregate of persons occupied IN
what are called productive industries.
This IS n formidable showing, and yet 1t Is
scarcely oGe-sixth the size of the figure that
the tramp STATESMEN have been imposing upon
their audiences. That part OF the report which
discusses reasons for encouragement should
be read everywhere. 1t is a hopeful sign that
people are learning 30 adapt themselves to
the changed circumstances OF the time. war
prices, ms Mr. Grow said, cannot be had with
out war; initiation prices cannot be had with
out initiation; and sensible people know that
resumption means moderate prices for what
they buy as well as for what they sell.

THAT EMPTY LOUISIANA HOLE.

All the world remembers the extinguish-
ment of noisy Know Nothing leader by Mr.
Beecher's story of DOG Noble" For years
nobody could think Of that persistent hater
without laughing, as the picture was before
the mind of the half-crazed but indomitabe
dog barking his life away before an empty
hole. A similar picture is offered for our
amusement by General Butler. as chief in
vestigatOr OF the Potter Committee. He started
out with a fixed idea that there was some
awful secret to be discovered that some cor
rupt and Infamous bargain had been secretly
made between President Hayes OF his repre-
sentatives and certain prominent Democrats
of the South. Long ago, it became perfectly
clear to everybody else that, whatever else
might be true, that charge was false. AS
everybody else could zee, that hole was
empty. But Butler has been barking at it
ever since, and doubtless will bark while life
lasts.
The investigation has done a great service
for the President. 1t has proved that his con-
duet and advice, in private relations with most
intimate friends, or when approached by po-
htical opponents or INSCRIPTIONS schemers,
were always straightforward and honorable.
He believed that he had been elected fairly,
but wanted nothing to do with the Presidency
if he had not. He privately counseled friends
that not single unfair or dishOnOrable thing
should be done by them, even to prevent the
success Of known frauds by opponents. He
refused 10 make any bargains or pledges, and

The correspondent VINO has dItdu1 taught
thousands of American readers that the most
familiar scenes in foreign lands can be in
vested with a new interest when the eye OF
the observer sees the soul of things and his
tongue can speak what so many feel but so
few can utter, takes us to-day into the hall
lowed precincts of Westminster Abbey. The
subject is one that has been written about
for centuries, and yet every reader who has
a mind to learn again the lessons of the place
will find in the writer's musings much new
thought and deep reflection.
In her speech to Parliament, Queen Victoria
does little more than repeat the information
which every one knows regarding the Berlin
Treaty and the Anglo-Turldsh Convention.
The Queen is made to connect the latter
agreement with the engagements accepted
in 1856. and to assert that the recent FAR
"rangements secure the Porte ga position of
independence which can be upheld against
aggression" These statements indicate
desire to defend the crooked diplomacy Of the
Foreign Office. as well as to maintain the ic-
ton that Turkish power has been placed on
firm basis by British assistance.
If the correspondent whose letter we print

that is hardly possible, the Knights of Labor,
about whose mysterious dOings vague para
graphs have occasionally found their way into
the newspapers within the past few months,
are already very formidable organization.
The existence in this country of an oath
bOundorder numbering eight hundred thousand
men, the majority of them ignorant and Bit
terly prejudieed against CAPITALISTS, and burn
ing for an opportunity to begin a general
sh1ke is not a reassuring circumstance. 1t Is
TO be hoped that the exposure now made of
the character and methods of these secret
enemies of society will cause their movements
to be watched and any unlawful plans they
may have to be thwarted. It Is not strange
that some Of the bad seed now so plentifully
scattered should take root, but neither COM
munism nor forcible adjustment of the re-
Iations between capital and labor Will be toll
Grated in American society as now organized.

LONDON. November 2S.-A Paris cor
respondent of the Times, in discussing
the assertion of the lfoniteur, that Presi-
dent MncManon may submit to the
oenniu ihe alternative OF dissolution or
his resignation if the chamber refuses to
vote the budget, snys others believe, and
they are probably right, that if the Sen
ate refuses to second dissolution,
PRESIDENT MacMahon will hold himself
absored from his rash promises. and

tion to urge the Marshal to return to O

situation is unchanged. because the next
move is expected to come frem the SEN
ete, which stands adjourned until Thurs.
day. The general opinion seems to be
that this Adjournment was for the pur-
pose of giving time to the government to
win the support of the Orleanists for ex-
treme measures. Nevertheless, dis
patches this morning indicate calmer
feeling than on the previous day. The
non.lssue OF any circular by the new
foreign minister to French representa-
tatlves abroad, and the countermand of
receptions OF their subordinetes by the
several members of the Cabinet, arc
cited as indications that the Cabinet does
not expect to last long. The report of
tho budget committee on the special
accounts opened by the Do Broglie
ministry during the recent dissolution,
which was read in tho Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday, but not discussed, be-
cause the ministers were absent from the
s.te;nSS. emonn.:a5 e I, I9o, coo 600 francs;
declares the accounts illegal. and that
they cannot be sanctioned by tho Cham
per without compromising the rights of
the nation. By rejecting the bill sub
mitted by the late Cabinet, the Chamber
would not definitely refuse to sanction
the expenditure, but would simply re-
serve Its ulterior decision.
The Times correspondent says: "This
report strikes by anticipation ut one OF
the experiments which probably had
been relied on for expending money
without nrevions authority of the Cham
Der. The partisana of resistance thus

THE PENDING QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, December s. - Senator
Blaine will call up his investigating resolu-
ton tomorrow, and deliver speech upon
the subject. Senator Thurman will speak
upon the subject also, but it is understood
that Senator Eaton will deliver straight
out opposing speech. Mr.. Blaine has in
tmatcd his willingness to accept any
amendment to his resolution that does not
tend to defeat the original object,
pUrTERINd poTTERITEs.
A prominent member Of the Potter com
mttce tonight said that it was extremely
uncertain whether or not the committee
would continue its investigation. Some OF
the members of the committee were in favor
of going on, but others thought to let the
whole thing 60 as it was.
CIPHER DISPATCHES.
The cipher dispatches now in the possess
sion of the committee have never been over
hauled, and their purport of course, Is I'M
known, consequently both sides arc afraid
of them. 1t is probable that the committee
will hold meetings at different intervals
from now until the 4th Of March, but with
out transacting any business.
