ENGLISH SOCIALISM.

ENGLISH SOCIALISM,.
 MT. William Clarke, an advocate of what he calls rational socialism, has recently writ- ten paper on the progress made by political socialism in England during the last twenty five years. He asserts that England has made during this. period greater progress in socialism than has been made in any other country.
 MT. Clarke declares that the Manchester economic school, which supported MT. Cob den in his free trade propaganda, and which has always been in direct opposition to so- cialism, has been steadily losing ground since the death of Lord Palmerston. The basis of this school was the right of unrestricted competition, or, as it is usually termed, the laissez faire doctrine. This theory, if it were carried to it's logical con clusion, would not allow the government to interfere in any way with the business of country. Each indi- vidual would have the right to make such ar- engagements and contracts as seemed to him good, and if he suffered thereby it would be loss for which no one was responsible but himself. As illustrations of what has been done in socialistio way Mir. Clarke cites the restrictions upon the employment of women and minors, the limitations of the hours of work, the inspection of mines and factories to see that they are maintained in a manner to safeguard the health and lives of their oc- cupants, the laws regulating the amount of freight that merchant vessels can carry, and the employers liability law. These'and other legislative enactments of similar character have all been distinctly sooialistic in their character, depriving both the employer and the employed of that complete freedom of contract which is the essential basis of the laissez faire doctrine. But the most marked instance of departure from this theory is found in the Irish land acts, which have completely taken from the landlords and vested in the hands of commission appoint ed by the government the right to determine the proper rent which tenant should pay to the owner for the use of his land. Besides this there have been various munich ipal en- actments under permission of Parliament, the tendency of which has been to have the mus nicipal corporation perform variety of du- ties that have hitherto been left to individual initiative.
 Of course all this hasn't been called social- ism, but Mir. Clarke makes good point with it. And he insists that what has already been done is but the mild forerunner of what is soon to take place, and that at the next general election it will be found that both parties, the Conservative no less than the Radical, will consider it expedient to hold out to the people number of reforms which will be essentially soeialistic in their general purport.

ssThe GlorIGed Spinsser.''

From the London Spectator.l
 There is paper on :'The GloriGed Spins ter' in Macmillan's magazine which gives striking picture of the new class of young men who do not regard marriage even among the probabilities, but so lay out their lives as to be altogether as independent of exter- nal help as If they were young men of the same education and abilities. The writer tracting good deal of pleasure from cheap social amusements, quite indifferent to home society, extremely frugal, more completely emancipated than the other sex from old prejudices, and also as at least supposing themselves much more ready than men to act on revolutionary ideas when once cons vinced shsy have, as they think, convinced themselves of their truth. The difference between them and "old maids" is said to be that the old maid is a woman minus some- thing-namely, we suppose, husband whereas the glorifed spinster is woman plus something-nanely, we suppose. self dependence-the one wanting to lean with ont having any legitimate support to lean upen; the other not wanting to lean at all. Nevertheless, we would ourselves never have thought of describing her as woman plus something, especially if the writer's proba
 ply rather exaggerated description of her as quite willing to discuss the advantages of State-regulated infanticide, or any equally hideous mode of dealing with the evils of society, be 8 true description. Grant the truth of that description, and we should regard her as a woman minus more than any plus could make up for; and so far from thinking her to be in any sense 8 spinster glorifed, we should treat her de- eidedly as spinster mutilated. We sus- pect, however, that the class of women de- lineated-those who maintain themselves without even looking forward to marriage as their natural lot-are by no means so "emancipated" from all feminine prepos. sessions as are the few married women who pose as freethinkers, and who really de- pend a good deal on acquiescent husbands for encouragement in propounding their startling social opinions. The self-depend- ent women Tho earn their own livelihood, and who have taught themselves to live ] happily in comparative solitude, are neces- ! sarily keen, prompt and decisive; but, like most men who are keen, prompt and deoi- sive, they have learnt good deal of in- | tellectual caution from their habits of &C., | violent speculation with half the abandon with which women who really lean for all practical purposes on others, are prepared 1 to give themselves up to such speculation if
 they find that by doing 50 they gain the ap- plause of those on whom they lean. The ssglorified spinster" is not half as audacious as the pretty married woman who is sure of
 masculine sympathy in her flights.
 But the interest of this striking sketch consists for us less in the mere picture of the
 able, cheerful, self dependent, laboriouz
 creature who can earn eighty pounds year
 and live upon it, and get good zeal es

A GREAT MUSICIAN.
And His opinions of other Comp.

And His Opinions Of Other Composers.
 It would, perhaps, be too much to say that Mendelssohn was 8 man of narrow sympathies in musical matters, but he seemed at least to have had but an imperfect appreciation of the modern developments of the art, gays the London Athenmum. His praise of Chopin, for instance, is very quali- fed. It Is true that on occasion he says that Chopin's studies have much charm for him;
 but in another letter he writes: "A book of mazurkas by Chopin and 8 few new pieces of his are so hammered that they are hard to stand" Even more striking in his reticence, which has often been commented upon, with regard to Schumann. Moscheles himself was, as we know from his life, great admir- CT of Schumann, whose genius he appears to have thoroughly appreciated, and it is highly probable that in writing to Mendels- sohn reference must have been made to Schumann's works; yet in the whole of the letters of Mendelssohn contained in this volume, we only once find the composer
 mentioned. In letter to Mrs. Mosoheles,
 dated s'Berlin, October 8, 1842," we read;
 "Then we had three new violin quartets by
 Schumann, the first of which particularly
 delighted me-" The most probable sxplana-
 tion of Mendelssohn's silence with regard
 to his friends music is that he did moi
 appreciate it; that his own tastes and predi
 lections were too conservative to understand
 fully the originality of Schumann's genius
 and that for his esteem for one who was not only personal friend, but an ardent ad
 mirer, he preferred silence to remarks which might be unfavorably construed. Jealousy of his rival has been suggested as another explanation; but it seems inconsistent with Mendelssohn's character. No traces of such feeling toward any other musician are tc be found, so far as we are aware, in Mendels sohn's correspondence, while it is abundantlJ evident that his sympathies were rather with the great masters of the past than with the pioneers of the advanced school, among l whom Schumann unquestionably ranked first. Mendelssohn, magnificent artist and genial composes, is not "epoeh making" in l the sense in which this term may be applied l to Schumann; the influence of his prede cessors, especially of his own peculiar favor ites, Bach and Beethoven, is far more clearly observable in St. PauP' or "Elijsh" than 1T "Paradise and the Pery" or 'Msnfred;" ant ! when we remember the cool reception award ed at first to Sohumann's music by many ex cel1ent musicians, it is scarcely surprising i l even Mendelssohn should to some extent hav shared the feeling.
 The music of Berlioz seems to have beel
Morning journal and courier., 1889-01-04

by no means to Nendelssohn's taste Of the overture to "Les Francs Juges" he writes to Noscheles:
 "What you say of Berlioz's overture thor eugh1y agree with. : It is chaotic, prosaic piece, and yet more humanly conceived than
 some of his others. always felt inclined to
 say with Faust: He ran around, he ran about,
 a as n e house But nothing cured his raving;
 And driven at last, in open day
 He ran into the kitchen For his orchestration is such a frightful
 muddle, such m ineongruous mess, that one ought to wash ones hands after handling one of his scores. Besides, it is really a shame to set nothing but murder, misery and walling to music; even if it were well done, 1t would simply give us a record of atrocities. At first he made me quite melan- choly, because his judgments on others are so clever, SO cool and correct, he seems 30 thoroughly sensible, and yet he does not per-
 eeive that his own works are such rubbishly nonsense"
 Not less severe are his remarks about one of Berlioz's ymphonies-probablyt the "Epi- sode de Ia Vie dun Artiste:" "What you say about Berlioz's symphony is literally true, I am sure; only I must add that the whole thing seems to me so dreadfully slow-and what could be worsea

and the result has been @ source of infinite trouble to Italy.
 The Kentucky Court of Appeals has just made a notable decision. On the trial of @ case one of the witnesses swore that the de- fendant was not intoxicated. The witness was thereupon arrested and indicted for per- jury. The case went to the Court of Ap- peals, where it was argued that the witness had merely given his opinion and hence could not be held for perjury. The court brushes aside this bubble and pronounces 1t case of perjury. It declares: Whether a man be drunk or not is not matter of opinion of the person who smlels the fumes of liquor from his breath, hears his silly, blasphemous, vulgar conversation and sees him staggering and falling on the streets. On the contrary, when witness undertakes to testify intelligibly on the subject, what he says is generally to be regarded as state- ment of fact, for the intentional falsity of of which he is to be held criminally respons- ible.
 MT. Allen Thorndike Rice advocates in his own magazine the secret ballot, and quoting
 
 years ago that the lodging house population of New York furnished eight per cent. of all the votes cast in the city, he invites anyone in quest of light on the existing condition of things to visit polling place in the lodg- ing house district early in the morning of election day and see for himself. "There will present itself to the astonished gaze of the uninterested," he says, 'sthe strange sight of voters marching to the polls in squads of two, three and four under the di- rection of trained party worker. In order to secure the proper casting of their ballots these independent voters are there required to hold up their right hand, exposing the ballot in that position until cast. The con- sideration is generally five dollars, some times lower, but often as high as ten dollars" MT. Rice believes that this can all be done away with by secret voting and the printing and distributing of ballots at the public ex- pense.
