SIX HUNDRED DEFINITIONS OF So
CIALISM.
(Ihc NelU NatiOn.)

The Figaro newspaper OF Paris recent
ly offered Il prize OF 100 francs for the
best definition OF socialism. Over 600
persons tried for the prize, and the prize
was awarded to the following: $50
cialism is tile totality Of aspirations and
theories which would establish between
men, by various legislative measures,
the greatest equality OF wealth or pow
erty." Lafalgue, the leading French So
cialist authority. suggested us IL good
definition: SOCIALISM is notthc system
OF any reformer whatever; it is the doc
trine OF those who believe that existing
society is on the eve OF IL fatal economic
evolution which will establish collective
ownership in the hands OF organizations
OF workers in place OF the individual
ownership OF capital. Socialism is Of
the character, therefore, OF a historical
discovery" Some OF the definitions
were attempts at wit, as, for example:
at is the egolsm Of this world endeavor-
ing to stille the esoism of the next
I world" 1T IS the search on behalf of
the human race for the key OF Paradise
Lost" sit is the right OF the unfor-
tunate not to die OF hunger in q country
where SO many die OF Indigestion" The
experience OF the Figaro with it's 600 dif-
ferent definitions onsoclalism is rather
striking illustration OF the truth of the
New Nations recent observation that
socialism is a generic and not a specific
term, and, when appropriated by any
particular school Of reform, only leads
to confusion.

s.em to the Republicans d very deplora-
bic contamination. How they would
grieve to see the new party a wreck and
the debris taken in by their fellows

such reasons as they Indicate. The
chief results OF the cooperation Of the
Independents and Democrats in the last
legislature WAS the election OF Senator
Kyle. He IS an Independent, and has
served them acceptably SO far in the
senate. There are congressman to elect
this year as well as the state officers.
Probably it would weaken and delnor-
alize" the Independents to obtain a :ib-
cral share OF them. This the kind-bcart-
ed Republican leaders would avert. if
their advice is sincere. Whether the
Democrats are inclined to Cooperate
again with the Independents is not
quite evident. They are, perhaps, wait
ing for counsel from their Republican
friends IN the matter.-St. Paul Globe.

Coad Will be Given an Opportunity to Dcaz-
onstrate his Ability to Complete the
D. W.-The Telegram Sent
this Afternoon.
The committee of trustees held a meet.
ing this afternoon, all members being pres
ent, The situation was fully discussed and
a perfect understanding arrived at before
adjourning. Mr.. Coad will be given the
opportunity which his friends have been
contending for, that of demonstrating his
ability to complete the road. If he can
do this, as it is claimed by himself and his
friends that he can, he will be given every
reasonable assistance and encouragement.
If he cannot now demonstrate beyond a
question his ability to carry on the work
and complete the road within a reasonable
time-say six months-neither the trustees
or Rapid City can be justly blamed for
refusing to wait any longer on him or for
withdrawing from him the promised, but
by all admittedly forfeited, support.
At the meeting the following telegram
was agreed upon and forwarded this after
noon:
W.. T. CoAD, Chicago, Ill:
Before more assistance is rendered by
the city sufficient guarantee must be fur
nished by you that road will be completed
within a reasonable time. If you desire to
furnish such guarantee when and whore will
we meet you to receive 1t.

Our farmers are making or rather
have made IL mistake this season that's
very common with them. The putting
OF too many eggs in one basket. With
the price received for wheat the past
year and the slow sale evenatlow prices,
one would naturally think that little
would be sown this season and yet we
believe the large proportion of small
grain will be wheat and IL larger acreage
OF it than ever before SOwJt in the Hills.
This will make oats the best paying crop
the coming season. The late rains have
numbered seeding and but asmall portion
OF oats are yet sown. There will no
doubt be fully the usual acreage OF this
grain. The late season will no doubt
cause less corr to be planted. There
will be good money in potatoes, plant
plenty.

THERE is Il vast difference between the
ma who advocates party Tor the sake
OF reform and the one who advocates re-
forms for the sake OF party, The n
will say, give Inc anything Tabled reform
to get my party success, and the other
will say. give me any party to secure
this reform. The true cause OF reform is
heavily loaded with men who neither
understand or care for the reforms that
are popular, but are doing the most agi-
Eating in favor OF them, in order to get
u party that will give them ajob. Their
ignorant and erroneous support OF
measures they do not understand is
often strong evidence against the cause.

Representative McCrae, chairman Of
the house committee on public lands,
has reintroduced a bill which has been
before several congresses, providing for
the forfeiture of all lands granted to
railroads opposite to and coterminous
with such portions of the railroad not
completed within the time specified in
the original grant.
1T begins to look as if the much talked
of investigation of the census bureau,
which was authorized by the house
sometime ago, will amount to nothing.
Democrats who instigated thelesolution
say this is because the investigation was
put i'll the hands Of the house census
committee, members OF which are under
personal Obligations to superintendent
Porter for patronage, and the republi-
cans that it is because there is nothing
to investigate.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1S92.-The
Blaine talk, like the silver question, will
not down." this week it is heard wher-
ever republicans congregate. The silver
republicans are largely responsible for
this Blaine revival, SO to speak. They
are averse to supporting PresidentHar-
rison, because OF his we'll known opposi-
ton to free coinage, but they are perfect
ly willing to take Mr., Blaine without
knowing that he is anymore friendly to
free coinage than Mr.. Harrison is. The
anti-Harrison republicans generally
haye also, 1T seems, come to the eonclu-
sion that the only way to keep Mr..
Harrison ont OF the nomination is to
nominate Mr.. Blaine, and if they can
have their way the Minneapolis conven-
ton will nominate Mr.. Blaine whether
he will or not.
In these days OF bitter and
ing craftsmanship in congress it was a O
tive pleasure to bear Representative
Hooker, OF Mississippi, who is a demo-
craft, make a speech in the house ,prais-
ing the administration for the diplomatic
victories it has won. He said that the
in which Secretary Blaine had
treated the complications with Chill and
Great Britain proved him to be a great
statesman.
If the Canadian sealers think to avoid
Seizure in Behring's sea by sailing under
the Mexican or other flags they will
make a costly mistake, as the com
manders Of the United States vessels
will have orders to seize all vessels
caught taking seals, without regard to
the flag under which they sail.
Senator Hill is confident that he Will
receive the democratic nomination for
president, but the Cleveland democrats

that he has not even a ghost of chance.

A Game of "Freeze OUT

A Game of "Freeze Out"
The Rapid City Daily Republican has
improved its appearance by q "new
dress" Of type. 1t announces that here
after it will be delivered to subscribers
at SO cents per month. 1t says this re-
duction in price is made for the reason
that it has come down to a game Of
freeze out" in the newspaper business
at Rapid City, and that 1T is ready to 20
into the game for all there is in it.
Three daily papers in Rapid City are
about two to many. The Greece out"
game alluded to by the Republican will
be watched with interest by
men, and it may incidentally serve as
an instructive lesson to any who may
contemplate engaging IN the daily news
paper business in the Black Hills.
There is glory than 'srocks" in
this particular line, and those who can
subsist on glory alone will find an in
viting field in almost any town in the
Hills.-BulletIn.

The Rapid Daily Rel ublican has come
out under a new head and also reduced
it price to fifty cents per month. This
claims there is not room for three
papers in Rapid. There is an old
that "There is always room at
top" but OF course this Saying could
bring no consolation to that paper.
The republican will learn thatlt will take
something more than a new head and a
reduction in price to enlarge it's circula-
ton, or freeze any other paper out.-In-

Good Bye,

The growth OF the DAILY UNIONS sub
scriptiOn list has been remarkable. The
company did not go into the daily bus:-
ness expecting much. AS announced at
the time, the large force made necessary
by the growth OF the weekly circulation
and the addition OF a stock department
made it possible to add the daily with
very little extra expense. The aim was
to reach, by a low price and newsy
paper, a clrss of readers who had here
tofore taken no daily and judging from
our contemporaries we expected to be-
gin with say 50 subscribers and slowly
work up to $50 or 200. But the ven
ture has proven u surprise. 1t proved
that business men as well as labore,s
felt the burden OF $l.OO per month for
poor papers and all classes f1ocked to
the UNION. In seven issues the circula-
ton exceeded that of either old paper
and in one month it exceeded the COM
blned circulation OF both, while for the
past month we have printed daily, Id
out a single effort at canvassing after
the first two weeks.
1t was expected that many took the
paper out Of curiosity and yet up to
May LIST but three subscribers stopped
their paper. One because Of the article
censurlng Dr.. M'Gillycuddy for his re-
marks before the republican conventions;
one Tor renting OF the Office for the issue
of a democratic paper and One for nom
payment. Since the first We have lost
ID, whose manner appear below, and
have had q new names handed In, max
ing q deduction Of IL winch appears
in our circulation. We should have been
pleased to have gwen the REASONS for
these parties disseminating as previously
announced, but no reasons were given
except in one case when the party laid
it to lack OF news, when asked where he
was going to better himself, he stated,
t1at he was aware it could not
ba done; that he was going to take no
paper.
some no. doubt belong to that
class OF citizens who do not care to hear
the truth without it IS pleasing to them
and politically want to hear nothing eX-
cept 1T be on their side. As will be seen
most of the list are so cent republicans
who have no doubt answered Mr.. Gird's
frantic call for help.

Which Will Win?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-There promises
to be a full attendance tomorrow at the
meeting of the national Democratic COM
mittee, when the date for holding the
national convention will be decided upon.
Several OF the members have been here
since the beginning of the week. The
delegations from the various cities that
seek the honor Of entertaining the con-
vention are hard at work, but it is difficult
to determine which has the advantage at
this stage of the game. The favorite
cities are St. Paul and Milwaukee, while
Kansas City has many friends. At the
same time it is believed that the choice
will fall to one of the two places first
named. The executive committee OF the
National Association OF Democratic clubs
IS in session this afternoon at the Loan 4
Trust building with Hon. William l.. Will
son presiding. 1t will decide upon the
time and place for the next gathering.
