narformed nv the State; and in his Accident
Insurance bill has left in definite form his
confession of Socialistic faith Accompany
inc this bill when it was introduced in the
Reichstag was this declaration;
THAI the State should care for its poorer men,
hers In a higher degree than Ii has formerly done
is a duty demanded not only by humanity and
Christanity-and the institutions Of state should
be penetrated through aud through by CHRISTIAN
ity-but 1t Is also measure required for the pres
eryati0n of the State. A sound policy slould
nourish in the INDECENT classes OF the population,
which are the most numerous and least Instructed
the view that the state is beneficial, as well as
a necessary arrangement. Legislative measures
must bring them direct: easily perceived adyan-
tages to the end that they may learn to regard
the State not merely as an institution devised for
the protection of the Weather classes but as one
that likewise mi nisters to their needs and inter
ests.
The aim of the bill was to make provision
for industrial laborers injured in the prose-
cution of their callings through a system of
State interference. When the bill was
brought forward one of its most earnest sup
porters was the Socialist leader Bebel, and
another Social Democrat, Kayser, declared
that no one should "terrorze him-he would
support Bismarck" Professor Ely, in his
work on German Socialism, says this incl
dent reminds one of the ancient prophecy:
"The wolf and the lamb shall feed. together,
and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock"
1t was only for the occasion that Bismarck
and the Social Democrats found themselves
working together; but it brings up forcibly
tie suggestion that in those conversations
with Lassalle years ago, the theories Of the
daring Socialist made some impression upon
the mind of the remarkable statesman.

Bismarck and The Socialists.

The statement in yesterdays dispatches
that Prince Bismarck, who is about to adopt
most stringent regulations against the Social
Democrats, is nevertheless something OF
Socialist himself, seems very strange in
view of the well known reputation of the
Iron Chancellor as an aggressive conserva-
tive. But Prince Bismarck's attitude
towards the Socialists is in several respects
very remarkable. The great leader of the
Social Democrats Of Germany was Ferdi-
nand Lassalle, who died in 1864 leaving
name famous all over the world where social
questions are studied and discussed. With
this great Socialist, Bismarck enjoyed per-
sonal acquaintance. That this was so we
know from a public statement which the
Chancellor himself made in the German
Rechstag. "Lassalle," said he, was one Oh
the most gifted and amiable men with whom
have ever associated" "Our conversations
have lasted for hours, and | have always re-
GREETED their close" at would have given
me great pleasure to have had similarly
gifted man for neghbor IN my country
home" That Bismarck admired the leader
of the Social Democrats there can De no
doubt; that he came thoroughly to under
stand his principles must be equally certain.
1t is also an undoubted fact that Bismarck
has held and still holds those principles to be
pernicious: for one of the leading features
of his administration has been the use of
exceptional and despotic measures against
the Social Democrats. The arbitrary regula-
tions announced yesterday are in perfect
conformity with the policy which Bismarck
has all along pursued against the disciples of
his admired friend Lassalle Yet even in
the Reichstag of the Empire, to which he has
appealed for extraordinary powers against
Socialism, Bismarck has declared by his acts
that in his opinion some Of the duties of
society towards the poorer classes must be

1t had generally been supposed that the
Philadelphia & Reading company was a
business corporation established for the pur-
pose Of making money. But it appears from
President Corbin's statement that it is one
of the most benevolent eleemosynary corpo-
rations in the country, dispensing its chart
ties with bounteoas hand among its en-
ployes. within twelve MONTHS" says MIR.
Corbin, ''this company has moved and sold
fifty-one millions tons Of coal, paying to the
miners in wages fifty-seven million dollars
and has received for all this coal less than
forty-fve million dollars, or twelve million
dollars less than the miners wages" The
company, therefore, has given from its
own resources and without consideration,
either to the coal consuming public or to the
miners, at least one million dollars year.
1t is evident that the Indignation meetings
that the people of some parts of Pennsylva-
mia have been holding over the conduct of
this corporation have been, il President Cor
bins statement is not misleading, entirely
unjust, and have wrongfully cast reflections
upon philanthropic band of men carrying
on the business Of coal mining purely for
the benefit Of the laboring man. In view Of
this statement another series Of meetings
should be held to express the high apprecia.
ton which the people of Pennsylvania ought
to feel at the self-sacrificing deyt ton of the
model stockholders and officers of the Phila.
delphia & Reading Railroad company.

THE WAY TO DISCOURAGE BRUTALITY.
[Boston Transcript
A prize fighter has been killed in the ring,
and we may expect the usual columns Of
moralizing in the very newspapers that pub
lish full-page accounts OF encounters that
end less disastrously. The best and most eff
fective newspaper method of discouraging
such brutal exhibitions is to ignore them.
Let the press limit its sporting columns to
the records of manly, healthful sports and
games, or better still, omit altogether refer
ence to the rufianism of the ring, and we
shall have an end TO such brutal exhibitions.
Then boxing, very different and vastly bet
ter thing than what has come to be known
as pugilism, could still receive attention,

1t is unnecessary to add a word to the COM
mendation of the Hon. Henry B. Cleayes to
the Republicans of Maine, set forth in the
Daily PRESS this morning. The PRESS tells
the plain truth, without exaggeration or
ornament, and the facts so stated are better
than any eulogy. Mr.. Cleayes is man of
tried and proved integrity and ability, and
so far is the peer of other honorable men
whose names have been proposed for the
nomination for governor. He is also one Of
those brave men whom, quarter of cen
fury ago. the Republicans of Maine promised
TO remember and honor whenever the oppor-
tunity should arrive. The party wrongs it,
self and dishonors most glorious traditions,
when it allows that promise to be forgotten
or set aside. In this case, fortunately, there
is every prospect that the promise will be
remembered and that Lieut.. Cleayes will be
the next Governor of Maine.

In the Senate Monday Senator Frye made
powerful presentation of the behefits accru-
ing to American labor from protection, and
demonstrated very exclusively that England
was anxious to have our markets, and was
gratifed with President Cleyeland's message,
because 1t seemed to foreshadow the aban-
donment of our present policy of keeping our
own markets for our own people. The Senator
showed that it was perfectly easy to reduce
the surplus without tearing down the tariff,
and thereby jeopardizing the wages of the
American laboring man. Mr.. Frye's speech
held the close attention Of the Senate, and it
will undoubtedly prove with the country a
potent antidote for the free trade doctrines
disseminated in the Presidents message.
Itscomparsons between the wages Of the
laboring men in this country and Europe
should attract the attention of every work
ingman. The free traders contend that the
tariff has nothing to do with wages, but the
laboring man can judge for himself whether
the admission of articles made by the poorly
paid labor of Europe to competition with the
product of his labor would not reduce his
wages OF kill the industry from which he
gains his livelihood.

When 1t was represented to President
Cleveland that the people of Massachusetts
were pleased to have General Banks contin-
ued IN his office as United States marshal,
Mr.. Cleveland is reported to have said he
thought we'll of General Banks, but supposed
the Republican party of Massachusetts
might find place for him, a commissioner
ship or something of the sort. This answer
is worth noticing. At the first of his term
Mr.. Cleveland professed to believe that the
system Of using Offices as rewards for politi-
cal service was wrong; now he in effect tells
Massachusetts Republicans that they must
take care of General Banks because he wants
the office for some of his friends.

Editor O'Brien, whom the Salisbury minis
try shut up in jail in the hope of striking
terror to his countrymen and frightening
them from continuing their agitation, has
emerged from prison, and to show how his
countrymen have been frightened it is pro-
posed to run him for Parliament. The only
result of sending these agitators to JAIL as
far as can be discovered, is to magnify their
Importance with their countrymen, and in
crease their influence. When.they go to Jail
the people turn out and glorify them as mar
tyrs, and when they get out the people stand
ready with brass bands to escort them
through the streets in triumph, and tender
them the highest honors in their power to be-
stow. Perhaps if Balfour could shut the
majority of the Irish people up at once he
might strike some terror, but shutting up
here and there prominent citizen only tends
to keep alive and strengthen the Irish ma
tional sentiment. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
has apparently discovered this, but the rest
of the Tory ministry are as thoroughly satu-
rated with Bourbonism as ever.

In Massachusetts, dogs are put to a good
purpose. A county tax is levied on them,
and the money, after all damages done by
dogs have been paid for ont of It, is returned
to the towns to be used by them for their
public library. In Middlesex county last
year the receipts from the dog tax were
$36,372.S0; the expenditures for damages
S2,903.2S, leaving handsome sum for the
encouragement of letters. In our State the
dog is a wild animal. declared so by the
court, but this need not prevent him from
contributing to the cause of education and
enlightenment The deer, caribou, moose,
partridges, salmon and trout are wild ami
mails, but they have all contributed to the
prosperity of the State. The dog might now
add culture to wealth.
