private ownership, and the transfer of such
Ownership to the United States Govern
mant. For this, so far as railroad, tee
graph, telephone, express, and cOal-mining
companies are concerned, he believes the
country is quite ready"
Mr.. BELLAMY is about forty years
old, re believe. If he lives forty
years longer It is highly improbable
that he will live 70 see even be-
ginning made toward realizing this pTo-
gramme which he believes the country to
be now quite ready" for.
Commenting on this programme, the
Buffalo Courier says:
The truth is not Only that the country is not
ready for these steps but that it is becoming less
and less ready. The evidences Of inehciency
and venality in governmental operations in this
sountry are so numerous as TO make thoughtful
people very reluctant to increase the number
and complexity OF government functions This
reluctance is increasing rather than diminishing
It has become a proyerb, that efficient and eco
nornicsl production and service of any kind must
come through private hands, which ind their
profit in good work snd are therefore prompted
TO it by the most powerful motive that moves hu-
msnity. the notive Of seltinterest, or to use q
stin litter word seldshnesA Some things must
De done by Government, but the public opinion
ia favor Of keeping the number Of those things
as small as possible. yer5 strong.
Mr.. Bellsmy's dream Of a community in which
all men shall perform their allotted parts like
pieces Of a wel-regulatei machine, is a seduc-
tive dream for generous aud philanthropic
minds, but whs. possible foundation can be
found for it in human history, If history teaches
anything, 10 teaches that man is a predatory an
imal He is much given 70 preying on his fell
lows Civilization has changed the form Of his
predauons bu. it has OF lessened their number
nor essentially charged their character Man is
not go3d enough for Mr Bensmys ideal state
Ifthst ideal state could be organized original
sin would disorganize it in p hours. Man may
some time reach the Looking backward" stage
OF beatiude, but it viii probably not be before
the e99.h year Of the millennium.

with. Its millionaires, their wives and
daughters, had cloistered themselves in
their wealth and responsibility, and they
looked down with feeling of pity on
those whose names were not on the list.
But they tired, some time ago, of posing
as the cream of creation; the young
men Wearied of their roles; the
pretty girls were bored, and looked
over the walls loDgingy at the gay million
outside, and sighed because Mother Grundy
forbade them to Join in their merrymak-
ings. They sighed, too, at the dearth of
eligible beaux in their own set, and their
mammas looked apprehensively at the in
cressing surplus Of blooming msidens who
we're becomiDg-let rs say it with blush
something Of drug on the matrimonial
market. To them, no less than to the new
acquisitions to the ranks of society, the
new order of things is full of promise. To
the men, the event is a great one, because,
in addition 10 establishing a new basis Of
society, it bids fair to make New York
more cosmopolitan and therefore more en-
ioyable.
