The ancient proletsriaus had no connect
fundamental difference between the old
and the new. 1t was not possible to in
crease the general wealth of the commu-
nifty by the investment of capital in manu-
featuring processes for the benefit of the
freemen. Slave labor monopolized and at
the Same time dishonored all industry.
The freeman of Greece and Rome was in
the same condition as the poor white of
the South while slavery hourished.
Slavery alone made it possible for the rich
to devote to the State the time and labor
demanded of them, but it also prevented
the free proletarians from rising into real
independence. It will be seen at once that
the distinction between the ancient and
modern conditions is radical In the
former the line of separation between
rich and poor was ineffaceable. In the
latter the line is always auctuating, and
members of each class are continually ex-
changing places. Now it is obvious that
true Communism can only flourish when
the social or political conditions are such az
to prohibit the advance of the proletarian
class altogether. For if this class is
free to change It's environment, either par
tally or as whole, its intelligent members
will refuse to consent to my policy which
would prejudice their prospects, and d.
minish the value of the prizes for which
they contend. In the ancient democracies
the dearth of commercial and industrial
pursuits almost compelled the populace to
fall back upon their votes as means of sup
port. They had no hopes of sharing the
wealth of the rich, for enterprise was not,
and all invention was rigidly confined to
slave labor. The ancient Socialism, there
fore, though it inevitably issued in the ruin
Of the communities which yielded to it,
was far more logical and consistent than
the modern Socialism, which is in fact q

GREECE AND TURKEY.

The Phil-hellenistic movement which
has been proceeding during the past half
century in Europe seems to be ripening
into positive support of Grecian terrific.
rial claims against the Porte The basis
of this movement is curiously confused
and indeterminate. So far as it can be
analysed it seems to have a double forma-
ton. In the first place there is admira.
ton of ancient Greece; in the second
place there is admiration for the modern
Greeks. The former of these sentiments is
far more ineligible than the latter. The
Greeksof the Levant certainly have acquired
a reputation, bnt it is one which honest and
high-minded men would be very loathe to
bear. They are universally conceded to be
the trickiest, most mendacious, uuscrupu-
leus, and prolific in expedients and re.
sources, of any race in Europe. All their
ability in fact finds expression in finance
and commerce of the most questionable
character, and though they have shown de-
cided talent, and have frequently acquired
wealth, the race has won name which is
as far removed as possible from that with
which classic Greece is associated. 1t is
true that those who study Homer with
care may find in more than one of his
characters q recognition of that thrift and
thickness which the present generation has
so exaggerated. Ulysses is not altogether
and always pleasing character in this
respect, snd Homer evidently sympathized
with his hero's adroitness in driving bar.
gains. Precisely what auguries are to be
drawn from the present characteristics of
the Greeks it would be difficult to saw.
but to us it does not appear at all probable
that they are capable OF indicating the
confidence reposed in them, or of
building up new empire upon
the ruins Of the old one. Nations are not
reconstructed so easily, and the Greeks
have been almost as completely donation
allied as the Jews. England and France
may help the King of Greece to keep off
the Turkish ironclads, and his little army
may be then enabled to win more territory
from the impotent Porte, but it by no
means follows that the Greeks will ad.
vance. and in fact the belief that they are
on the eve of renaissance is opposed to
all experience.

vention to ignore the question, and this is
the sharpest commentary that has yet been
made on the course of President Hayes in
the premises. Owing to the persistence of a
Boston delegate clause was introduced
favoring reform principles in an indefinite
and far-away fashion, but it was evidently
understood that the whole issue was to be
shelved as quickly as possible. When
General Garfield came to write his letter
of acceptance he slurred over this topic
in a very Indifferent way; in fact,
he went so far as to indorse the
machine view by defending Congressional
interference with executive appointments
The reason why all this is so should not
need to be pointed out. The fact is that
the people have shown too languid an in
terest in civil service reform, and have
rather encouraged the politicians by taking
it for granted that it was impossible to do
anything about it. Now, the fact is that
it is no more impracticable to reform the
American than the English civil service.
All that is required is resolute and
earnest public opinion in the matter a
conviction that the future safety and pros
perity OF the country depends upon the
removal of the patronage from factions,
the substitution of merit for political In.
terest as a cause of appointment, and the
abrogation of removals for political reasons
alone. These changes can all be had il
the people insist upon them, and they can
be had without in any way injuring the
Government. We must have them before
long, or the Government machinery will
become hopelessly the spoil of faction,
and taxation will be exercised with less
and less regard for the rights and interests
of the citizen, and more and more concern
for the exigencies of party.

WORK FOR THE PEOPLE.

Perhaps it is unreasonable to expect
that the politicians who frame platforms,
and whose whole idea of politics is SO
closely interviewer with the spoils system.
should bestir themselves actively to pro-
mote civil service reform. Nor can it be
expected that Congressman, whose future
depends upon keeping ON the best of terms
with those politicians, can be very enthusi.
astic about thematter. But unless someele-
ment takes the subject in hand and urges
it, nothing will be done. This year it was
plainly the intention Of the Chicago Con.

EXCLUDED FROM THE ABBEY.

The Queen of England has been worsted
signally in an encounter with the public
sentiment of her subjects. 1t was her
special desire that the projected monument
to the French Imperial Prince should be
erected IN Westminster Abbey, and Dean
Stanley was fully prepared to face public
opposition for the sake of gratifying his
sovereign. But the press and people
showed so determined front on the SUBJ
ject, and the feeling of resentment at the
proposed desecration grew so strong, that
at last it has been thought expedient to
abandon the project, and it is now an
nounced that the Queen has offered a site
for the monument in the royal chapel at
Windsor. There can be no doubt that
the people were justified in their opposi.
ton in this case. Westminster Abbey
is sanctified by the collection there
of the nations most illustrious dead, and
the son of Louis Napoleon had no claim
whatever to place among those departed
heroes, statesmen and men of letters. His
connection with England was fortuitous.
He had not died fighting in her cause.
The nation owed him no tribute of esteem
or gratitude. He was unfortunate, but
that did not entitle him to place in the
venerable Abbey. Any English soldier who
fell at Isandula could have had better
claim made out for him. And though the
Queen is somewhat obstinate when her
mind is made up, it is no doubt as we'll
that she had the good sense to yield to
public opinion in this case, and it might
have been still better had she refrained
from this ostentatious attempt to connect
the Bonapartes with her DYNASTY.

Three men, named Scott, Bromley and
Sanborne, while working at the Oswego Iron
Works, six miles above Portland, met with a
very severe accident this morning They
were engaged in shoveling coal into the fur
mace, when the stack slipped in, the stack
falling about FIVE feet, forcing the Goals and
flames out upon the men. Sanborne was
horribly burned, his entire body being black
ened by the flames and the skin peeled off.
His recovery is deemed very doubtful. Scott
and Bromley are both severely burned about
the face and hands. How the men escaped
with their lives is astonishing. Assistance
came speedily and the men were rescued.

Fine Barn Burned.

The barn of Capt. Oliver H. Clark in Ches- ter, costing $7,OOO when erected eighteen years ago, was destroyed by fire Sunday night It was insured for $4 ,OOO in 6 Hart ford company. The fire originated in spon- taneous combustion among some meadow hay recently put in. The barns contents were not insured There were 9 tons of English hay, 40 of meadow hay, new bug gy, sleigh and large quantity of farming implements Nothing was saved. The Hall Brothers of Joshuatown had stacked over fifty tons of meadow hay in the large yard, which they neglected to insure, and it was all destroyed. The Hall Brothers were en- ployed by Portland firm, who use the hay for packing, to harvest the hay, and were to receive fair price per ton for so doing, after it was pressed. As the hay was not pressed | when destroyed, they will not receive dollar for their hard work. A hay press, which
 they had been using in the yard, was de- Stroyed.
