LAzrNEss THE FOUNDATION OF SOCIALISM.

LAzINEss THE FOUNDATION OF SOCIALISM
Socialism is disease of state of civiliza-
tion in which a true science Of society scarcely
exists, in which false notions of life OF the re-
lation of the individual to the state and the So
ciety, are widespread and in which all ranks
are honey-combed by sentimental notions Of
what ought to be, and can be, in this world.
Since Rousseau, certain set of doctrines has
been permeating modern society, which have
no truth in history or fact at all, but which
fiatter human nature and are sure to be popu-
lar, because they make light of education, cul-
ture, capital, breeding, and all the excellen-
ces which, being all ve"y hard to get, raise him
who has them above him who has them not.
The same doctrines teach, per contra, that the
unframed man is the norm, and type, and
standard, so that men, instead of being urged
to seek the excellences, are encouraged to be-
lieve themselves superior, without them, to
those who have them. Such is the outcome of
the doctrine of equality, and, as it has spread,
it has only grown more popular, has propa-
gated more and more fallacies, and shifted
more and more into a thirst and demand for
(equaD enjoyment of material luxury. Social
ism is an effort to crafty this thirst in some
other way than by using it as an incentive to
industry and economy. Obviously there is no
. other way, unless it consists in taking away
the means of material enjoyment from those
who have produced and saved them, and Civ
ing them to those who have not produced and
saved them. Every step in that direction is q
step toward universal impoverishment and bar
barism, and every step will have to be won by
war. The socialists assume that their victory
in that war is certain, but it is certain that
they are entirely Observation-Disclosures.

by heart. and in answering by rote such ques-
tions as were printed for the masters use that
school has been the best where the routine was
most iron bound, where children were drilled
in their exercises like soldiers in the manual,
and where excellence In the ole case as in the
other, depended on turning human beings into
machines
Now, apart from the fact that such disci-
pline is pernicious, because II enfeebles the
mind by overlooking it with undigested mat
ter, and crushes out originality BY discouras-
ing independent thought, it Is equally objec-
tionable on other grounds Long experience
has proved that 1t is doubtful blessing to
teach a man to read, and then turn him upon
the world to pick up such further education as
the cheap literature of great cities affords.
The immense sale Of sensational newspapers of
the worst class proves the truth of this fact,
and is admitted to be one of the most threat
ening signs of the times. There is no use in
attacking the publishers of criminal literature
by indictment, and by fine and imprisonment.
Where there is demand there will be a sup
ply, all the laws in the statute-book to the
contrary notwithstanding. The true way to
suppress such publications is by lessening the
demand, and this can be done only by educat-
ing children in the common schools to read
something better. That much can be done in
this direction the believers in the new depar-
ture are thoroughly convinced, and that with
out any great expense or radical change, ex-
cept in bringing common sense to bear upon
the educational problem-Atlantic

THE NEW REPARTURE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
AT length the old system which has endured
so long seems to be crumbling, and new meth
DDS and ideas appear on every side. That old
system, the system beloved by tie true peda-
gogue, is only too well known. 1t is the sys-
people under forty who have not at some time
suffered under it.
To excite interest or arouse enthusiasm has
not been considered the task of master in the
common schools. On the contrary, an inter-
ested school-room would probably be rather
noisy, and hence Objectionable. Scholarship
has been held to consist in learning textbooks

MEssRs. EDIToRs: There is not much
news to writc from our little burg. We
nro oil very quiet and the most of us hard at
work; especially is this the case with the
farmcrs, who arc we'll up with their work.
The recent rains have put them 10 good
spirits and they arc busily engaged killing
tho grass. While the crops arc looking
very we'll now, their future, of course,
depends upon tho seasons. Cotton ia
looking as well as have ever seen it at
this season, and is growing of rapidly. AS
stated before, this yoar's acreage in cotton
will exceed last years by at least twenty
per cent Corn is looking very we'll, but
1t is somewhat backward. The wheat cron
may bc put down as failure. Rust is the
cause of this and it is impossible, under the
circumstances, to mako any estimate as 10
its yield. The oats, too, 7 am informed
have the rust, but | am not able to saw
to what extent. The farmers are becoming
interested in barley, and those that havo
tried it are we'll pleased with It., and they
intend to SOW this fall on q larger scale.
Our merchants are getting on very we'll.
They have no especial grounds of complaint,
as regards trade, but on tho contrary, seem
to think that tho country will bo flooded
with money this fall; at least, l judge so
from thoir actions, for Mcsars Xix ~ Pull.

The Judgment of tire COUra
Against Whitaker.

WEST POINT, May 29.-Tho Court for
tho investigation Of the Whitaker case met
to day in secret session, and made up its
final report which was agreed upon, and
signed by all the members of the Court.
Tho report after reviewing tho fucts and
evidence in the case gives tho following
conclusions:
First-The Court is unable to believe
that such slight wounds as Cadet Whitta-
kcr received could have b@cn inflicted by
persons IN the manner, and under tho cir
cumstanccs described by him.
Second-lt does not sec why man
with his surroundings, and in his condition
and franc of mind, us shown by his own
evidence, should have submitted to an
assault such as is alleged without summon
ing assistance during the assault, or imme-
diatcly thereafter
Thrd-lt believes that as persons tied,
as ho was, and left ns he claims to have
been, could have ssrcadily released himself
should he have excrtcd himself to do so.
Fourtll--Erom tho testimony of post
surgeon aud others, the court is compelled
to believe that Whitaker was neither asleep
nor insensibc when he was examined on
the morning of April 9th, but that he was
fcignipg.
Fifth-Thc court is not ablo to discover
any motive that any person other than
Whitaker could have had in making such
an assault, and thcro is no evidence what
ever to warrant the belief that nny other
person did make it.
Sixth--It believes that the ear clipping,
flesh cutting, and binding could have ali
been accomplished by Whitaker himself
Scyenth-The theory that the note of
warning is an imitation of Whittakcr's
writing is in tho opinion of tho Court un-
tcuable. The severe tests to which the
experts in handwriting were subjected,
and their positive testimony, place it be-
yond doubt that Whitaker himself wrote
the note of warning, and therefore that he
is not ignorant of tho person or persons
engaged in the affair. Tho latter conclu-
sion is strengthened by the fact that one
half Of the sheet of paper on which this note
is written was found in Whittaker's nos.
session.
Opinion. tho strong array of
circumstantial evidence from tho testimony
of the experts in handwriting, and from
the conflicting statement of Cadet Whit
takcr, and tho lack of voraoity evinced by
him in certain cases during the inquiry as
shown by the evidence, the court is of tho
opinion that the mputation upon the char.
actcr of Cadet Whitaker referred to in the
order conycning tho Court in tho official
reports of the commandant of cadets and
post surgeon, is fully sustained"
When to report was sent General to
Schoiold, and carefully read by him, ho
oaascd lettor to bo addressed to Col.
Lo,ellc, Commandant Of tho corps of
cadets, directing tho arrest of Whitaker,
and Ylacing him in confinement in his
rooms. Tho order was promptly carried
out, AMI Whitaker will remain under ar
rest undl his case is disposed of, and
the guari will keep him under survcil-
lance.
