The soclalists and the CentennIaI.

NEW York, April 24.-The national Social

ing upon tho celebration Of the Washington
inaugural centennial They point to various
respects in which the ideals entertained by
the founders Of the republic have not been
realized, and deprecate the prevailing ten
dency to suppress this side Of the picture and
to undnly emphasize the more obvious facts
Of increased population and wealth. The
mere increase Of wealth, they insist, cannot
be considered proof Of genuine progress. The
real test would be as TO whether wealth dis
tributes itself equitably; whether opportun-
tiles to acquire it are equally accessible to all,
and whether or not there Is danger Of the in
PRODUCTION Of class distinctions founded upon
differences in wealth IL Is upon the sub
stantial economic independence Of the citizen,
as well as upon his political independence,
that the true hope Of a people rests. Look

dress declares that there is much reason for
serious apprehension. The document Is very
moderate in tone, and asserts thntal reforms
