ASnLLIoNAIRE SOCIALIST.

In the December number of the North
American Recie,r, PIERRE LORILLARD one OF
the nations milliOnaires has an article on
capital and labor. He believes in q "limi-
ted political socialism," that canals,
rivers, oceans, railways and postal and
telegraph systems should all be controlled
by the Government. He says among other
things:
rights OF private property should be
respected. A mans earnings, whether
BY ability, luck or wit, should be his en-
tirely and without restraint during his life.
There should be no incOme-taN, which
only offers a premium on fraud, and OPP
presses the energy OF both labor and
capital. a lespoy TAX should be laid. ="
Ine extent of say ten per Uent, on all
fortunes in excess of $500, 900. This
legacy-tax would not Cypress the heir re-
ceiving so much property, and should not
be regretted by the dead, who was indebt-
ed to the protection Of the Government
which enabled him to accumulate his
wealth. This legacy-taX, leading to dis
tribution through divisions of estates,
could be fairly collected. 1t would give
handsome returns to the State and cause q
considerable reduction of taxes 1t would
render the perpetuation OfimmenSe fortunes
in few families impossible, and would
thus obviate that grave impending danger,
the concentration of wealth in single fam
lilies, which wrecked the Roman Empire. "
Mr.. LORRILLARD would also have the
trades of the country organize Labor
Congress, to sit one month every year, and
would have an Advisory Board composed
of seven Judges, who shall decide all labor
disputes.
Some of these ideas are certainly origin
al, if nothing else, and it is good
sign to see that at least one millionaire is
thinking seriously of the problem of seek
ing better adjustment of our industrial
and social problem.

An Il.TreAted wife Gains Her Suit
for Separation.

NRw YoRK, December 2s.-Judgs
Reynolds OF the Brooklyn City Court,
today rendered his decision in the
suit OF Mis-. Louisa O. Stsunton
against her husband, the Rev. Benja-
min Staunton, for separation. The
Judge said there was no real difficulty
in arriving at the facts In the case.
The plaintiff relied mainly ON her own
testimony to establish the acts Of
cruelty alleged. The Judge said that
brutal husbands will not beat their
wives In the presence OF witnesses.
The assault OF February, 1888, is cor
roborated by the evidence Of neigh
bors who heard her outcries and her
brother, to whom she fed for refuge.
The only witnesses who impeached
the Veracity OF the plaintiff were those
who sympathixed with aud aided the
defendant The Judge expressed him
self as clearly Of the opinion that the
charge Of cruelty and inhumsn con-
duct was made out, and that the
plaintiff was entitled to judgment Of
separation.

How still We see the liel
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent hours 90 by.
Yet In thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears Of all the years
Are met In thee tonight.
For Christ is born Of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch Of wondering love.
o morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birtht
And praises EinK TO God the King,
And peace TO men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift Is giVenl
So God imparts 30 human hearts
The blessings Of His heaven.
No ear may hear His e0minE;
But In this world Of Sin,
Whore meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters In.

Failure IN Crops from Christian
Standpoint.

StuhupVh"s
En-. FREE PREss:-Iu recent issue you
alluded to the continued failure OF our crops
and suggested as a preventive diversity OF
products instead of planting so much cot
ton. This we think is correct from prac'
ticll farm err standpoint, but as per the
above heading will you kindly permit the
writer to give to our farmers what we think
the cause of the continued failures-year
after year, and.to also suggest or advocate
q cure for these failures
LIST. The cause:-We have been robbing
God!
In reading the Bible,-God's word to u.s.
we see He demands of us tithes and offer
ings. q small portion of our income say
one.tenth. For the giving, or rather pay
ment, of this to Him (Which by-the-by al
ready belongs to Him, for all our time' tai
ent. wealth, &C., are His), He promises
blessings, spiritual and temporal.
And as it is the latter with which we arc
now dealing, we beg to refer you to Pro-
verbs iii, and 10: "Honor the Lord with
thy substance, and with the first fruits Oh
all thine increase. So shall thy barns be
filled with plenty &C."
And in Malachi III, S-12, after God had
accused the people of robbing Him by their
omission to pay Him their tithes and offer
inps, He adds: Bring We all the tithes IN
to the storehouse, that there may be meat
in my house. and prove me now here"l'n'
saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open
Won the windows of Heaven, and pour you
ont n blessing that there shall not be room
enough to receive it. And l Will reouke
the deyourer for your sakes, and he shall
not destroy the fruits of your ground; Meth
err shall your vine cast her fruit before the
time in the field, saith the Lord OF HOSTS.
And all nations shall call you blessed; for
We shall be delightsome land, saith the
Lord of Hosts"
Do not these words handle the subject In
hand in reality and to the point'
Tn conclusion, let me add that there are
so many ways to honor the Lord with our
substance" the terribly stricken parts OF
orr country by the earthquakes, storms and
nestileuce Our churches need help, our
Foreign Missions, our Orphanages and other
Charitable Institutions, and nearer home'
our friends and neighbors in sickness ana
and distress, the fatherless and the Widows
This morning --"Thanksgiving Day"-let
ma commence. Let our hearts go ont,
actions speak, to the less favored ones
around us.
Now shall we go on robbing God?
But remember, the promises given are
conditional. We have no right to claim
them except we comply with the conditions.
IF we meet them we shall realize true pros
perty. Not only will we be blessed tenn
poraIly, but also spiritually. Then let us
go to work, plant our seeds, cultivate them'
pay God His dues, and we shall reap
Take Gods word for it.
That our farmers may realize their re-
snonsbility and interests and act accord
ingly, is the prayer OF one
Nor A PREACHER.
