Socialism IN GERMANY.

The prevalent confusion of the American
mind respecting the use and the understanding
Of the terms Socialist and Anarchist accounts
for part Of the surprise with which the heavy
vote reported for Socialist candidates In Der
lin. Hamburg and other German cities Is re-
parded The voters for such candidates were
doubtless not by any means all believers in the
theories which are in this country called So
e1alistic Here Socialism has not tho excuse
which il has in a country where the people do
not govern themselves In the United States
it is necessarily revolt against government OF
the people. Presumably, many OF the voters
in Berlin who supported Socialist candidates
were persons who would in this country heart
ily uphold republican government. They take
that mode of protesting against the rule Of a
monarch. against the methods of arbitrary
power against the burden of great standing
army. against all institutions and customs which
deny equality of civil and political rights. But
with that allowance, the voting in German
cities was still remarkable
According TO the Berlin correspondent of
"The London Times" the Socialists cast in
Berlin 1875 900 votes out of a total of go 900,
and Hamburg has elected its three Representa-
tives. all Socialists. The fact that Hamburg
has been for twelve years under the anti-So-
cialist law, and that in Berlin the condition of
police surveillance has been ikened to "A state
of siege does not render these results OF the
voting more surprising. 1t is precisely where
the severity of arbitrary. rule is greatest and

II is well known that the high State tax
rate last year-albeit the purposes for VIII n
the Legislature made appropriations were de-
serving and the appropriations in no true
sense extrayagant-was employed by Demo-
Gratis in the campaign of 1889 as an argument
against the party which controls the Senate
and Assembly. This year resolute effort has
been made at Albany to keep down the appro-
priations, and consequently the taxes. How
resolute it is may be Judged from the Supply

The proposition to abolish the unnecessary
Office of City Chamberlain does not appear to
meet with universal favor among the chief
city officials, who conferred yesterday for the
purpose of giving the Legislature the benefit
of their united wisdom on measures relating
to Ncw-York. Ii was hardly expected that
it would. Controller Myers, however, had the
temerty to suggest that the Chamberlain's sal.
AIRY might wisely be materially reduced and
there is prospect that it may be cut from
$4,000 to $4,000. Of course, SIS, 600 is toe
much, since the Office ought TO be wiped out
but the reduction would certainly meet with
cordial public approval.
