COLLAPSE OF PIGOT1ISM.

The Parnell investigation, either for immedi-
ate or Interior purposes, has been brought back
to the point where the prosecution broke down
Sir Charles Russell, re-examining Mr.. Houston
for the defence obtained an admission that the
" Parnellism and Crme'' series was an elaborate
reprint of Pamelism Unmasked,n compila-
ton made by Pigott for the Loyal and Patriotic
Union. Mr. Houston had paid Pigott $500 for
the original manuscript, and the secretary of
the Union had subsequently borrowed Sc, 500
from DR.. Mcguire Sir Roland BlennerhasSet
and Lord Stallbridge in order to pay the forgcr
for the spurious Parnell letters. These admis-
sions established the authorship of the famous
series Of articles which has formed the basis
Of the Parnell investigation. Pgott was en-
ployed by a powerful Loyast organization in
the North Of Ireland 10 write and subsequently
to revise the series which 4" The London Times"
assumed the responsibility of publishing; and
the letters were obtained from the same dis
honest hand and paid for by three conspicuous
enemies of the Home Rule cause. The alleged
voucher for payment made to Pigotts mys-
FERROUS friend, Eugene Davis, was admitted by
Mr.. Houston to bear marked resemblance to
the forger's handwriting After securing this
damaging testimony Sir Charles Russell de-
manded the production of the books of the
Loyal and Patriotic Union, which had been
trafficking with Pigott. This was a reasonable
request, since that organization had been d.
rectly implicated in instigating the compilation
and purchase Of the "Parnellism and Crmer
series, on which the investigation was ground

been produced upon the demand of the prose-

4 LESSON IN SOCIALISM.

The difficulties which have been encountered
in the distribution of the JohnStown relief fund
deserve to be examined with some care, for
they illustrate some Of the practical hindranceS
to every scheme OF Socialism. In this case a
community has been suddenly rendered deSti-
tute and dependent wholly upon the outside
world. This was an industrious community,
earning its own living and saving money in
good times The calamity which overwhelmed
it has made necessary the distribution of food,
clothing and money on liberal scale and with
out conditions. There seems to have been no
other available course Relief had to be given.
and quickly. But experience shows that no
matter how inevitable the arrangements, or
how deserving the recipients. evil results were
inseparabe from the method. Out Of some
80, 900 persons on the lists at first, it is stated
by the Relief Committee that 900 continue
to depend upon the distribution machinery, and
it is intimated that large proportion of these
have been demoralized by the intervention Of
the agencies which have taken from them the
responsibility Of their own maintenance. They
have neglected to seek work, TO renew their
industrial careers, to make n fresh start, be-
cause their moral nature has been weakened by
this even temporary solution for them of the
problem Of life
Probably this Generalization will soon be
recovered from in the JOhnstown case; but what
has happened here is precisely what would GER
tainly wreck. and has already wrecked, every
scheme of State Socialism. The State that
undertakes to secure a living to all It's mem
bers will inevitably be swamped by the pau
persm and incidence its own institutions will
create. The theory that the world owes every
man living is in truth the theory Of the pro-
fessonal tramp, who will not work and is not
ashamed to beg. Most Socialists seek to hedge
by providing some system of universal work,
but it should be obvious that whenever sub
sistence is assured to all, 1t will be demanded
work or no work, and since in such conditions
the idle element must rapidly como to the front
it will certainly in the end give the tone to
the system, and render all work repugnant to
the masses, with the prompt effect Of National
bankruptcy, famine, brgandage, anarchy, and
final military despotsm. Men can never be
trusted to work when it is possible for them
to live without work that is the principle of
human nature which is destined TO render
abortive the most crafty and ingenious Social
iStic scheme

THE ULTIMATE APE.

That wcll.lSnown scientist, Professor Romanes
F. II. S., lately read a paper before the London
Zoolopical Society on "The Mental Faculties of
Anthropopithecus Calvus." 1t is rather for
mdable looking theme but the professor clothes it
with great interest. The paper is devoted TO an
account OF a series of experiments made with the
female chimpanzee which, for a number Of years.
has been one of the ornaments Of the sOciety's
menagerie. The result of these experiments is
well calculated to encourage dudes and all other
human beings who are not overstrOng in the upper
story The chmpanzee did not compel Pro-
fessor Romanes TO read the compulsory education
act 10 her before she would consent to have her
mind improved She would seem to have taken
10 learning and she certainly developed fair
amount OF capacity.
The professors first lesson was designed TO
make her a ready reclSoner-not lightning cal
eulator-but only to an extent unlikely to impose
too great tax upon her brain. Here is his
statement of how he caused her young ideas TO
shoot:
Having enlisted the intelligent cooperation OF the
keepers, ] requested them 10 ask the ape repeatedly
for one straw, two straws three strawS These

In making these requests, but, Whenever she handed

she gave the proper number. her offer was accented
and she received piece Of fruit payment In this
way the ape was eventually taught tO associate these
three numbers with their names Lastly II two sraws
three demanded. she taught 10 hold
one straw or two straws I'm her mouth until She had
picked Zip the remaining straw, and then to hand
the two sraws the three straws together This pre-
vented any possible error arising from her interpa
ton OF vocal tones-an error which might well have
arisen II each straw had been asked for separately.
II will be seen from this that the professor
believes in the merit system When the

SUMMER SCHOOLS.

That is an exceptional season in which ut least
one new summer school is not established.
There was n time when the Chautauqua ldea
having apparently taken root in previous years
seemed to be languishing, and there is now
reason to believe that it escaped extinction by
a narrower margin than was generally supposed.
It cannot be said that Chauauqua was the
original germ of this mental activity, but 1t IS
now in great measure the sustaining lOrce' ~

succession of intellectual diversions, but it is
a very significant thing that an intellectual
stimulus should be applied in great multitude
of scattered homes from one end Of the country
to the ether
1t is altogether probable that some Of the
summer schools which are springing up here
and there will have a brief career and perish
unregretted. They are likely to be successful
in the degree in which they are inspired by the
Chautauqua spirit, though they need not neces-
sanIy conform to the Chautauqua methods. If
we understand the aspiration which is at the
basis Of this activity, it is not thirst for
specific knowledge, but somewhat vague

ExEMPrING MANUFACTURERS

The interest manifested by our Min
neapOlis friends in the proposition
which originated with the board of
trade of that city, to exempt new manu-
featuring enterprises. in whole or in
part. from taxation until they can fairly
get on their feet, Is an indication that
they are on the right track in pursuit of
a proper policy to secure more rapid
growth and development. The GLOBE
has heretofore directed the attention of
our st. Paul people to the necessity for
pursuing a similar course. and we again
urge it upon them. The committee APP
pointed by the Minneapolis board of
trade to investigate the subject will rec
ommend the philadelphia system. which
provides for exempting raw material
and machinery and making low rate
of taxation on the buildings containing
the plant. Philadelphia is one Of the
most solid cities in the world. and its
prosperity is largely due to the estab-
lishment of innumerable small manu-
featuring concerns which were encour-
aged to open up on account of this lib
eral policy pursued by the city, and
which in the aggregate give employ
ment to large number of persons.
