DE- LAvKLKYE demonstrates that these equal
izng and Sociallstic aspirations have never
died out among Christians, but have always
displayed renewed activity at periods OF re-
ligious excitement and revival. The Com
munistic ideas which permoated Christian
society during the first centuries VI our era
were preached again by the Waldenscs. by
the Begging Friars, by the Taborites In Bo-
hernia, and the Anabaptists In Germany. 1t
was especially the aim Of the Franciscan
fraternity to transform society into COM
munity OF brothers; and in general II may be
said that the survival OF convent life and OF
religious brotherhoods In the Catholic Church
proves how indistructible Is the tendency to-
ward communism implanted by JESUS him.
self NJ. DE LAvELEyE brings forward another
striking proof of the Socialistic lcanings In
herent in Christianity In the fact that, long
after the Roman Church had contracted its
unlucky league with absolute monarchy,
even the courtly preacher, BossUEr. felt him
self constrained to say that 1.-THE rich are
tolerated II they assist the poor"
Tho conclusion which seems forced upon
us by such considerations Is that, so far
from there being anything anomalous and
homogeneous in the alliance suggested by the
Christiun-Socialists OF Germany, such a
coalcscence of evangelical teaching and prof.
etarian aspiration Is historically and ration
ally the most Legitimate and probably the
most expcdient thing in the world.

The Governors Mistake.

When the Governor sees the use to which
the Republican press put his angry mes
sage to the Senate, he may begiu to appre-
slate the extent OF tho mistake he made in
sending 1t.
The Republicans propose to regard 1t as
applicable not merely to the Senate alone,
but TO the whole Legislature.
In fact, the Governors quarrel was with
the Republican Senators and the three Tam
many men who united in opposing the con-
flrmation OF Mr.. MURTHA. He has succeeded
In making 1t appear that he looks upon the
whole body Of Democrats in both Houses as
little better than set Of thieves.
A Democratic Governor has smirched the
record OF Democratic Legislature all over,
notwithstanding the fact that it passed very
few thoroughly bad laws, whilo it gave many
good ones 10 the people.

An Example Worth Initiating.

Tho New York Central Railroad has IL new
President in the person OF Ny. JAMES ii.
EUTTER. There is no doubt that he is capa-
bic man; but, unfortunately, he has not Of
late years received his professional training
In tho best school, and we suggest. with a
view to the Improvement Of the great cstab-
lishment which has now been committed to
his charge, that it would he well TINT he
should look about u little and find out what
progress has been made in tho art Of rum
ming railroads.
We arc sorry to say that while the Central
Ia one OF the most important railways In tho
country, and while its revenues are cnor-
NOUS 1t is not managed as well as 1t ought
to be. Tho discipline OF its servants is made
quate; It's carriages and stations arc not OF
The best quality, and degree OF negligence
and slovenliness appears about its track and
its employees which is unworthy Of its
position and its pretnnsions.
Mr.. RUrTER will not need to go far to find
Q railroad which offers Il most interesting
and instructive contrast. We mean, of
course, the Pennsylvania road whose main
Inc extends from Jersey City to Pittsburgh.
1t is q most admirable concern. and is con-
Quoted with such energy and vigilance
and such comprehensive Judgment that
1t might serve as model for the
railways OF any country in the world.
Its track is always in trst-rate order; its
carriages are perfect in every respect; its
locomotives are of the best description; and
the discipline and behavior OF its employees
show the highest ability and the most con-
slant attention on the part of their superior
officers.
Several years ago, when the great man
who made the Central what it is was still! at
its head, there was good deal of discussion
about an order he issued taking off the orna-
mental brass work and the merely snowy
appendages OF tho locomotives. 1t was n
real improvement, although some OF those
who love useless decoration were not pleased
with it. II in carrying out this order Com
NodOre VANDERBILT had applied the money
Saved to making tho road more perfect and
more safe as well as more speedy; IL he had
provided better and more comfortable as well
IS more elegant cars; II he had graded and
turfed the banks along its sides, and made
che very track thing Of beauty; II he had
improved the station houses and eating
houses; and II he had organized corps OF
cououctors, otdAciheu' ciei MS anu eVel.ion
men who were all intelligent and polite,
and inspired with zeal for their duty,
he would have performed IL public
service most worthy of commentator
But no was not wise enough to see it. and
President RUrTRR may still profit by the
opportunity which his predecessors have
neglected. In all these respects we would
also commend him to the example OF the
Pennsylvania Company Us well deserving tc
be studied and initiated.
The great railroad of New York should il
every respect be equal to the best on thu
tabltable globe.

have now, taken together, 1882 miles In
operation and 923 miles under construction,
and according to Mr.. CHARLES WARrNa-to
whose article In the Fbrtni0htlv RerieU we
are indebted for the facts here cited-many
Of them are ut present earning from to 10
per cent. upon the money invested
Notwithstanding the favorable exhibit
made by some OF these provincial roads, the
Brazilian Government became convinced
that native capital could not be relied upon
to develop the country with adequate ener-
gy, aud consequently, in 1873, 1t returned to
the system OF State guarantees for new
series OF arterial lines destined to connect
the seaports with actual or prospective CEN
tire, OF production. 1t agreed to guarantee Z
per cent interest for thirty years on &c.,
10000. the capital sum to be distributed
among twelve railways having n total length
OF LASS miles The stock Of eight Of these
roads has been successfully issued in Lon
don, and the work Of construction Is rapidly
going forward. That no doubt Is entertained
by British investors regarding the trustwor-
thincss of the Brazilian guarantee Is evident
from the fact that. although since 1881 Dom
PEDRo's Government has declined to offer
public works. large enterprises have been
undertaken by British capital ut the less re-
munerative rate.
Looking back over the whole railway
network cf Brazil, wo see that it en-
braces 400 miles, OF which $500 are ac-
tually working. When the additional 1000
miles OF arterial communication which
are now under construction, or at least
fully planned, shall have been COM
plctcd and supplemented by tho provin-
cnl branches and extensions for which local
capital will prove adequate. nearly million
OF square miles will have been brought in di-
rect relation to the Atlantic seaboard and to
the markets OF the world. Such immense
accessions to the earth's productive area
cannot fail, when the facts become well
known, to exercise great attractive inilu-
enco on the currents of European emigration.

Railroads to Revoiutionize Brazil.

One OF the most important undertakings
In which British capital is now engaged is
the opening of railway communication with
the interior OF Brazil. A great impetus has
recently been given to railway construction
In all parts OF the thinly peopled empire
which is destined to receive a large share of
tho surplus population Of Europe. To meas
ure the inducements to emigration which
will presently be offered by the public works
now prosecuted under the progressive Gov
eminent Of Dom PEDRO SEGUNDo, we should
remember that the actual inhabitants al
though they number about twelve millions,
occupy for the most part merely fringe of
territory along the scaconst. The natural
resources not only OF the valleys Of the
Amazon and other great rivers. but OF the
vast upland plateau between the Coast Range
and the Andes, remain to this day as unde-
velopcd rs were our Western prairics AT the
beginning of this century.
The Brazilian railway system dates back
about thirty years, but for some time it
proved difficult to attract private capital,
even by Government guarantee of interest.
Nevertheless, between the years 1852 and
1883 three lines. In the provinces of Pcruam-
buco Bahia, and $40 Paulo respectively, were
constructed by English companies ut al az
gregate cost Of nearly s3o,OoOGOv, on which a
minimum interest OF Z per cent. was guar
anteed. The aggregate length Of these roads
WIS only $40 mics. About the same time,
however, the Government began to build nj
Its own expense q trunk line from Rio lie
Janeiro through the province Of the same
name, with branches to the province OF Sac
Paulo on the one side and that of Mna-
Icraes on the other. This line has now AZ
miles in operation and Gj under construction
and 1t returns y per cent. net profit on thu
tifty million dollars laid out upon it by the
State. OF the three guaranteed roads be-.
longing TO this first group ou!y the Bahia line
imposes any consi derablc burden ON the un
tional treasury. and this is nearly offset by
the profit derived from the English company
working the short Sac Paulo railway. which
last year paid dividend OF l0l per cent.
and, as required by its charter, turned ovcl
to tho Government half OF It's net receipt.
over per cent.
The next material additions to the Brazil
ian railway network were made in the lively,
years following 1862. A large number o
provincial lines were now constructed. fol
the most part branches and extensions Of tn,
trunk roads already in existence. All thu
railways belonging to this series We're bull

The Dowling Green Railing.

Sir CYRUS W. FIELD not long ago tore
down the old Washington Hotel at the Bat
terry, to make room for great Office building
which he Is now putting up.
That was all right enough. But now 1t ap-
pears he wants to 20 further, and have the
Park Commissioners remove one OF the
fcw remaining Revolutionary relics in the
city, situated in the peighborhood OF the
property he is covering with new structure.
There is about Bowling Green Park an old
iron railing of Revolutionary associations
which make 1t peculiarly interesting to New
Workers. In tho centre OF the Park, 1t will DO
remembered. there stood a leaden equestrian
statue of GEORGE I'LL. which was torn down
by multitude OF excited patriots on the 9Th
OF July. 1776 or upon the receipt Of the news
OF tho Declaration Of Independence, to be
turned into bullets "to assimilate with the
brains of tho adversary" There Is tradi-
ton, too, that the iron balls on the tops Of
the posts OF the railing about Bowling Green
Park were cut of for use as cannon balls by
the patriot army. And to this day those
posts remain decapitated.
That old iron railing has, therefore, the
most inspiriting associations. But Sir CY-
RUS w. FIELD, 1t seems, does not'like the
looks Of it. He.has got few other property
holders about the Battery to join with him
In potitioning for its removal by the Park
Commissioners, who. VIC believe, are to con-
slider the subject ut their meeting next
Wednesday,.
The Revolutionary associations OF the old
iron railing are not Of the kind which seem
TO stir the soul OF Sir CYRUS w. FIELD. A
proposition to reconstruct the statue OF
GEORGE ILL.,, so wantonly destroyed In 1776,
would perhaps be moro agreeable to him; or
he might ask OF the Park Commissioners the
privilege OF erecting u grnnder efIlgy Of the
monarch SO hateful to the patriots Of that
day. Such statue would be fit companion
OF the ANDRE monument, and might more
closely attach the aristocracy of England to
their American admirer-to the one OF oul
countrymen who is supposed to stand next
| to G. WASHINGTON CHILDs, A. NJ, the poet
in their cordial affections.
