the purchase OF their dwellings. There IS
not one OF these Innovations the expedi-
cncy OF which Is not vehemently disputed
by persons intimately acquainted with the
facts; nevertheless. Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
would invoke State Intervention In each
instance because some plausible argu-
ments NAV be advanced In Its favor.
This programme Is certain to meet with
disapproyal from all men who believe In
tho doctrine OF individualism. and OF such
men there are many In the ranks OF Lloeral-
Unonists and Conservatives. MIR. CHAM-
BER1AIN apparently counts on onsetting
any defections among his present followers
by large accessions from the mass OF work
ingmen who throughout England are DO,
coming leavened with Socialist IDEAS. anu
to whom his proposals would seem only
modest instalment OF their deserts. III
may be true. rs he assumes. that the larger
portion OF the English workiDgmen at the
next general election will vote for that
party. Gladstonian or Unlonist, which shail
make tho largest concessions to socialist
views. But VIC do not see on what ground
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN takes for granted that
he and his friends would be able to outbld
the Gladstonians. The latter. who consul
tute the bulk OF tho progressists In tbs
London County Council. have shown them-
selves ready to go much further In So
cialist direction than the ModerGtes. who
substantially correspond with tho Union
lists. 1t Is true that In the matter OF an
eight-hour labor day Mr.. GLADSTONE ana
Mr.. JOHN MORLEY have taken conscrva-
tive stand, but there Is reason to believe
that other Gladstonian leaders are quite as
willing as IL Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN to meet the
wishes Of the workingmen. 1t Is UNDER
stood, for instance. that Mr.. ScHNADlIoRsT,
tho chief organizer OF tho Gladstonian
party. believes that frank acceptance OF
Socialist demands is essential to sweep
ing victory In the metropolitan districts'so
that Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN is unlikely to have
the field to himself. even should he succeed
in the unpromising task OF commenting
Socialist notions to Liberal-Unonist manu-
facturers and Tory land owners.

Don't Crowd the Crocuscs.

The question OF an extra session Of the
Fifty-third Congress is discussed as II it
wore an affair OF tomorrow. or Of the day
after tomorrow.
President HARRISON cannot convene the
Fifty-third Congress. Mr.. CLEVELAND can
not convene 1t until after he shall have
boon inaugurated as President. That will
not be until March 4. 1s03 date nearly. four
mouths distant.
There will be an extra session OF the Sem
ate next March. ne Is usual and necessary,
In order to provide Mr.. CLEVELAND with a
Cabinet and to confirm his nominations to
the moro important OF the numerous pub
lio Offices OF which tho triumphant Democ-
racy Is about to tako possession.
But as to converting. ns upon an ex-
traordnary occasion. the House OF Repre-
scntativcs in March next with view to
general legislation and to tho shaping Of
the party's policy-that. as the Hon. RUD.
YARD KrrLrNa OF Vermont likes to say.
that is another story.
Meanwhile. we observe that the loud de-
niand for tariff legislation before tho cro-
cuscs are out proceeds almost exclusively
from two sources.
1t comes on one hand from Mngwumps
and free trade extremists. Newspapers
like tho New York Evening Post and the
Bosion Herald are strong for crocus tarir
legislation.
On the other hand. the united voice Of the
Republican press is for an extra session In
March and an immediate and radical
change in the tariff policy Of tho United
btatcs Government.
Against tho folly OF spectacular and
sensational programme. sach as would de-
light both the extreme free traders and the
Republican enemies OF tho Democratic
party. Mr.. CLEVELAND Is no doubt already
fortified by his own common sense. by tho
ptvicc Of his wiser aud more moderate
sou.lsclors. and by the lessons Of political
H..r icncc. which show that the assem-
l'i"- Of Congress in extra session on any
occasion less urgent than great national
emergency is disastrous to the party re-
spunsiIlc for the call.
We arc strongly Of the opinion that the

State Socialism in England.
