SOCIALISM.

The appearance OF this idea in CON
spicuous form among us demands some
attention. In the recent debate be-
tween the socialists and the wage.
workers in Chicago, the latter reso-
lutely declined to adopt the views of
the former class, and, to the great salts
faction of conservative men, disputed
not only their facts, but their conclu.
sions. Yet socialism is by no means
communism. Communism advocates
the abolition of property, whilst social
ism directs its energies towards sup
posed more just and equitable distribu-
ton of it. SAINT Simon is their patron,
and his idea of "every man according to
his capacity, and every capacity &C.
cording to its work." is the Shiboleth
OF their faith.
Socialism essays also a complete re-
construction Of society aud holds UP the
vices of mankind, and their miseries,
AZ the end to which they would strive.
This is by no means new idea. II
prevailed in the times of the Roman
Gracchi but was suppressed or died q
natural death. Disappearing in the
middle ages 1t again appeared in dragon
form in the French revolution. NOEL
BABEUF with his "Tribun du peuple"
was its most powerful advocate and
after his death about the last of the
eighteenth or beginning Of the
nineteenth century it was called
Bavouism in France. Then came
FOURIER whose extravagances are
so well known and whose
conviction was the "phalansteryn-
which means community of about
1880 persons in which labor and enioy.
ment are to be doled out in proper tion
to the natural inclination of the indivi.
dual members.
The idea itself comes from one OF two
sources, either diEordered stomach or
distempered mind. 1t would cause
the generation in which It lives to
attempt reconstruction of Gods work
and make man what he is not and was
not intended to be. Not content with
PROSECUTING it endeavSrs TO make men
dissatisfied with their present position
and hesitates not at murder, arson, dy-
namiting or any other revolving crime
which would advances its tenets. la a
land such as ours it is certainly strange
that it should make its appearance.
The rich are always oontented and our
laboring classes are the best paid, best
fed, best clothed, best educated and
most privileged of any working men in
the world. There is no occasion for
them to grumblo; their freedom is ab-
solute and no restriction Is imposed on
opinion or its expression whether rellg.
ious, social or political. Socialism is 8
public enemy, and the only reason for
not stamping it out with the heavy
boot OF public detestation hes in the
fact that tcarries within itself the seed,
OF its own dissolution and must die Of
its own folly. Yet, vlgilantly and
closely should it be guarded lest it i'm,
plant itself in weak minds and bring
forth fruit in evil consequence.

ENGLAND is aroused and has a right
to be. Butler is not only in danger but
almost hopelessly involved in military
mesh. Ell MAHDI shows sagacity and
resources that astonish the world. The
militia of England is being called out
and the old country is assuming the
aspect of camp. 1t is said greater prepa-
rations are being made for the present
emergency than for the Crimean war.
May it not be for the same foe? If Ell
MAHBI has aroused the tribal COM
munities as reported and possesses the
SToNEwALL JACKSON promptness with
which he is credited, is WoLsELEY safe?
The dispatches place public attention in
the qui vive and those nations who do
not love England may probably waltz
in. BIsMARK may yet be denied the
pleasure of depreccating American
cereals.

THx present attachment law is as
unjust to the debtor as it is to other credi-
tors than the one attaching. There is
positively no redress for man whose
property is taken away from him and
sacrificed before he can even hope for
Indemnity. As the law stands now, any
man can attach another mans property
and waste it in litigation, if the supposed
debtor has not the means of giving bond
in double the amount and employing
lawyers to defend him in the numerous
subsequent attachments which the first,
even though wrongful, brings down
upon him. The HERALD earnestly ap.
peals to the members for harmony and
agreement among themselves, sufficient
to pass some salutary amendment.

AN Austin correspondent tells in this
mornings HERALD the means few
parties are resorting to in order to de-
feat the organization OF Midland county.
There can be no doubt this county
should be organized. If two or three
Interested persons and an unnaturalized
Englishman can influence the legisla-
ture In opposition to the formation of q
county wanted by the citizens in a new
country, the legislature should adjourn
and let others be elected to make laws
and act for the best interests of the peo.
pie in the state, in the future. Midland
county is really a necessity, and should
be organized at once without waiting
two years hence and until new legis-
lature is elected, when it will be formed.

NEARLY every paper in the state has
published articles condemnatory of the
policeman in this city who assaulted
Mr.. DIAL. These papers should proba-

facts are known and proven. The

offer any apology for the action of the
policeman, and believes the police
board of this city will act wisely and
well when the matter is brought before
it, On its face, the attack upon Nh.
DIAL looks like an unwarranted as
sault, which should meet with due pun
ishment.
