May day has come and gone; the parades of laboring men have taken place; but with one or two trifling exceptions no disturbances occurred.
 The individual who cannot see that we are in the midst of the most pro- found social revolution which has ever been seen must indeed be blind to the signs of the times. Socialism, anarch- ism, nihilism are on the tongue and in the thoughts of the world. By most persons these three are con founded. are looked upon as one and the same thing-as involving adhesion to the same principles, and those principles combined opposition to es- tablished order and rights hereunder. Anarchism, as illustrated and preached by the most of its adherents, is sys- tenn of foul method and fiend's dis position; and so is nihilis- n, in spite of the Munchausen lies of MT. George K"nnan as to the angelic purity of the Siberian outlaws.
 Socialism may be wise or foolish, but it does not mean reckless overset- ting of the established order of things, nor murder nor rapine. Order is it's basis, and this Is insisted upon with an utterance more emphatic and more determined than any system ever con ceived. Socialism means the absolute subordination of the individual to the state, and no one holding other views can be socialist; the principles of socialism are not applicable unless this effacement of the unit is accomplished Everything which tends to the com mon good is socialistic; everything which inures to private ad ,antage or advancement Is anarchistic, if it is at the expense of the public interests. Cooperation is socialism; competition Is anarchism. Cooperation and com petition are here used in general, not restricted sense. The socialist is trying to do everything by associated effort, and in so far as anarchism com pines 10 render combination impossi- ble it is socialistic; but in so doing it is merely adapting means to an end i; its ultimate purpose is to destroy all cooperation, all combination, all law. Naturally it is lawless. Our present system, which ii gradually yielding to

lMPESITENT JOTTINGS.

And so that stupendous aggregation of unaccredited mishaps, John c. Ere mont, is once more pensioner upon the United States government. 1.-The General who never fought battle, the statesman who never made a speech, the pathfinder that never found a trail.". The incompetent that, but for the intelligence of his wife, would have long ago sunk into the ohscurily he merits, is retired as Major Gen eraI, receiving about $5,OOO a year, while hundreds of worthy, battle scared veterans are destined to go to their graves in the manner of paupers. But it is in the nature of such things as the pension system to grow. The extension ot the nations gratitude" 10 appropriate objects soon attracts attention to other equally deserving objects, and their inclusion insisted upon; and so the ball rolls along until what? But really the United States is indebted to General Fremont for committing the offence which caused his resignation at the beginning of the war, and which kept him in retire ment until the close of hostilities Otherwise, he might have been in- strr ctor of tactics at West Point.

Reports from Upper Sulphur Spring valley are that cattle are rapidly dy- ing, the immediate cause being lack of water. They have to travel long distances to obtain food, and on re- turning are so exhausted that they die by the water holes. Stockmen, who have as little use for the Bible as South American Amazon warrior has for a new silk dress, are praying for rain. It seems that water can be got most anywhere in the valley by sinking a few feet and erecting a windmill, and why this isn't done is a mystery. Enough cattle die every year from lack of water to erect wind mills every mile all over the entire valley.

the encroachments of strict socialism, is a cross between socialism and an- archism, the latter of which is the type of primitive society.

1 " pc OI DIlIllItlNC cONlOtys
 There arc two great types of society -the militant and industrial. The
 militant represents compulsory CO
 operation, the industrial voluntary CO operation. In the one the services oi
 the citizen are completely subordi-
 mated to state welfare; in the other
 they are required only in case of a
 common peril; at all other times the
 individual is free 10 his own behests.
 The trait characierizing the militant
 type type throughout Is that it's units
 are coerced into their various combined
 actions. This structure is adapted for
 dealing with circumscrihing hostile
 conditions, and all parts, civil and
 military, are completely subordinate
 to central regulating apparatus. The
 traits in which the industrial type diff
 fers from the militant type originate
 in those relations of individuals
 brought about by industrial activities.
 All trading activities are effected by free exchange. This Voluntary co op- eration, in which the mutual render ing of services is unforced. becomes the predominant relation throughout society as industrial activities predom- mate, and tends to decentralize the primary regulating apparatus Ohe governmenO by making it derive it's dcputed powers from more numerous classes. or the modern nations Ger many is an example of the perfect militant type, and the United States of the industrial type. Both are ex- amples of socialism because both are combinations for national benefit. The benefits which the civilizedsworld en- joys are measure of the progress of socialism. Frequently, however, trans formations of types take place-from industrial to militant, and vice versa. An example of the former Is at pres- ent to be seen in the United States. With the building of war ships comes talk of defence, but means of defence imply means of offense and the incli- nation 10 use them With revived be- ligerent talk, and retained and re- newed beligerent measures, such as the "protective tariff" comes revived beligerent GUS; oms, and we cannot fail to see along with increased armaments comes a spread of compulsory regula- tions. While nominally the freedom Of the individual is sustained by his power to vote, it is in many ways actu- ally diminishing, both by restrictions which ever multiplying officials are appointed to insist on, and by the forcihle taking of money by legisla- ion to secure for him, or others at his expense, benefits previously left to be secured by each for bimself.
 That an upheaval is upon us is pat ent. But what lines will it follow? Will the inevi' able changes be better or worse than the present system, and Ire they to come without bloodshed? Is individualism to be digested in the nsatiable belly of mediocrity, or will t aggressively rehssert itself? These Ire questions for all to ponder. Per laps the best reply would be that of our apathetic ncighbors on the south -"Quien sabe."

Our evening contemporary com
 plains with, think, more bitterness than justice, that one of the distin- guished majority of the misdirectors of county affairs has been treated with undue harshness in having the attention of the public directed to va rious discrepancies in his record which seem to indicate that he is not entitled to tho office which he so signally mis
 fits; that, in fact, he IS not citizen of the Uni ed States. This, if it be true, is a condition of affairs needing reciitication, anl our worthy contem- pOrary cannot expect that it will be permitted to do all the talking Nat urally, it must expect 10 find people spea ing of things of which they are not densely ignorant.

The Mississippi Supreme Court has decided the case on appeal before them in favor of the "only John L. Sulli- van," Boston's favorite and typical lit erary man. The reasoning of the court is commended to the members of our own Supreme Court Tor careful study. They will find it of utility, perhaps. In fact, this opinion Is worthy of study by even laymen, es- pecillly those having fondness for witnessing dextrous pugilism. The first flaw which the court finds in the indictment is that Sullivan is not f charged with having engaged in a public prize fight, though what the legal difference between public and private prize fight is only judicial mind could say; the second one is that although the indictment states that John L. Sullivan did unlawfully engage in prize fight with the said Jake Kilrain, to-wit, did then and there enter B ring commonly called d prize ring, and did then and there in said ring beat, strike and bruise the said Jake Kilrain," it is not averred that Kilrain fought Sullivan. To have brought the matter properly before the court, the indictment should have alleged that Sullivan and Kilrain fought togei her and against each other" The acumen of this decision implies high power of sustained re- hec,ion on the part of the legal minds from which it emanated, and cannot but bring to mind that Hudibrastic character who
 -''could distinguish and divide
 A hair twixt south and southwest side;
 On either which he would dispute,
 Confuie. change hands. and still confute;
 He'd undertake to prove. by force
 Of argument, mar IS no horse;
 He'd prov- a buzzard iS no fowl,
 And that lord may be an owl,
 A calf an alderman, goose justice; which brings us to the conclusion Tor we were headed, and which, it is not improbable, is admitted by most non legal minds.
