the first steps toward the remedying Of these
inequalities the nationalist propose
changes; first, that the railroads be managed
by the government second, that the tele-
graph, telephone and express services be as
sumed by the government and managed in
connection with the postal service; third,
that the coal business also be assumed by
the government: and fourth, that municipal
tiles shall undertake the duties of furnish
ing their own lighting and street car service.
But these are only the first steps, The ma
tionalists intend that finally all branches
shall be managed by the government. Some
parts of this programme, like the govern
ment control of the telegraph and railroads,

received more or less approval. But even
these have not received the appreciation of

Some of the changes advocated by the
nationalist may come. Indeed some of
them are likely to. Cities may as a rule
manage their own water and lighting plants,

The telegraph and even the railroads may
be assumed by the government. But this
will hardly be n the fullflment of the

American people is Mr.. Edward Beilamy's

is captivating to every man or woman who
has rubbed against the hard side Of life. In
this respect it is much like all the other
socialistic programmes; but In its ingenuity
and FEASIBILITY it far surpasses any of them.
1t has captivated so able an intellect as Ed
ward Everett Hale's, and today Mr.. Hale is
at the head of an association Of 5000 readers
of Looking Backward" who have started
out with the deliberate purpose of bringing
about the state of society that Mr.. Bellamy's
fancy has evolved. This association have an
organ, the Nationalist Magazine" that has
attained circulation of nearly $4,000 copies
since the first of last May. This movement
is OF such magnitude that the convention of

is worthy of some attention. Edward
Everett Hale presided and Mr.. Bellamy was
one OF the chief speakers. The audiences
are described as large and enthusiastic. Mr..
Bellamy stated the conditions that have

Reports that come from Brazil are vague
and unsatisfactory, but their tendency is to
show that the transition from one form of
government to another is not being attended
all the provinces with that quiet resigna-
ton manifested by the inhabitants of the
capital. In some of the provinces the mo-
narchical spirit is strong, and there the adj
vent of the republic is not looked upon with
favor. One of them has already rejected
governor appointed by the government. and
in others there are manifest signs of discon-
tent. The new government may be strong
enough to cope with this hostile sentiment
or at least prevent it from manifesting it.
self in overt acts. But the strength Of a
government, founded as this one appears to
be, more upon the ambitions OF party than
upon the convictions of the masses of the
people, is apt TO be feeble unless it has at its
command military force strong enough to
enforce its DEGREES. The existing government
of Brazil has. 1t is supposed, the army be-
hind it, but the army is small and not very
effective. The navy, on the contrary, is be-
lieved to regard it with suspicion. If not with
positive aversion, and in an emergency the

upon. The danger is that some ambitious
politician or military commander msy start
a revolt, and gathering to his standard all
the elements of discomfort in the country,
precipitate a rebellion which the govern
ment will be unable to cope with. 1t mus
always be borne in mind that large per
cent. of the masses in Brazil are ignorant
and illiterate, and incapable of self govern
ment. Therefore the foundation for genu-
inc republican government is wanting. At
best the government can only be republican
in form-and the substance of power will
necessarily remain in the hands of the few.
This of itself is likely to produce discomfort
among the masses, and make it easy for an
able cons pirator against the existing regime
to work up popular uprising. The repub-
lican experiment In Brazil has not yet been
sufficiently tested to entltle 1t to be pro-
uOunced a success.

colts defalcation. That is proper enough,
for though Sergeant-at-Arms Leedom was
not perhaps technically public disbursing
officer, long custom had practically made him
one. 1t is a pity, though, that Leedom can
not be compelled to make up part of the
deficiency out of his own pocket, for his
carelessness in entrusting large sums of
money to man who was living at so rapid a
rate as to excite the liveliest suspicious of
his honesty in everybody that observed him,
richly deserves punishment.

The Louisiana lottery concern has opened
local agency in Springfield. Mass, and the
people are eagerly buying tickets. The Re-

habit Of batting the people of large places by
assigning to some inhabitant of the place a
big prize, which it pretends was drawn.
When by this process the people have been
sufficiently excited. it proceeds to open a
tJcal agency and rake in the shekels Of its
dupes. This was done, the Republican says,
in Boston, and is now being done in Spring.

st. John is expected to have lions share
of the business of the Canadian Pacific, and
she is going ahead in the right way to get it,
il there is anything that will carry trade so
far down East. Last week the city govern
ment voted to grant subsidy of $4,000 a
year for 20 years to encourage the construct
ion Of dry and wet dock, with wharf and
warehouse accommodation, on the west side
of the harbor at the terminus OF the short
inc from Montreal and the West. The
docks proposed would cost about million
dollars and would accommodate eight or ten
ocean steamers. But the granting of this
encouragement by the city does not by any
means insure the construction of the docks.
James d. Leary, the rash innovator, who
conceived of and constructed the great jog
gins raft, is the protector of the docks; but
ne cannot do anything unless the New
Brunswick government will add another
subsidy of $4,000 to the subsidy offered by
the city of st. John. So there are some very
important conditions In the way of the &C.
complishment of the desires of st. John. Ca
madam governments are very free with theiI
subsidies, however, and Mr.. Leary has
proved to the world that he is quite fellow
to go through an undertaking.

The gangs of men that are cutting down
the dangerous wires in New York are max
ing sad havoc with the street lighting sys-
tens, and the result is that a considerable
part of the city is at night in almost total
darkness. The electric light companies
complain that the work is done with little
discrimination, and that much more injury
is inflicted upon their plants than is neces-
sary. The destruction Of their property,
however, even though 1t be wanton, is not
likely to cause much weeping on the part of
people not pecuniarily interested. They, or
at least many Of them, have never manifest
ed any disposition to put their wires in safe
condition. but ON the other hand have taken
advantage of all sorts of legal technicalities
to defy the authorities and public opinion as
well. They long ago by their conduct.
aliented all public sympathy. The absence
Of light at night In streets that abound in
thieves and desperadoes is, however, pretty
serious matter, and this may create reac-
tion against the apparently pretty reckless
work that the cty's gangs are doing.
