We have seen the above dispatch

that they will settle for per cent. Of

IT will be remembered that certain
republican papers in Topeka and
elsewhere contained q sad story ralat-
ing how some detestable tramps,
'Gewelling's friends" as the papers
designated them, broke into a Topeka
church on Christmas eve and de-
Stroyed or carried away some Of the
good things that were prepared for
Christmas. 1t was an exceedingly
sad story. But il turns out that
these "tramps" were Topeka boys,
who, OF course, were led to do this
distardly act by the governors tramp
circular. Hence it follows, accord
ing to the logic Of republican pa
pers, that all the once good people
OF this sanctimonious city Of To-
peks have lately been transferred
into consummste scoundrels. That Is

that all unemployed people on the

RAILROADINe AND SOCIALISM

Our Colorado correspondent replies
in another column to our criticism
upon his former communication. He
says:
II the very broad meaning given to the
term socialism in the ADVOCATE Of Decem-
Der 13, is correct, every act Of the state
where self government exists is SooislistiO,
the furnishing Of a wagon roae as much a.
a railroad. And further the state can divest
any Of her functions Of their Pocialistio
character BY simply appointing private in
diVidual or corporation 20 act for her in the
place Of her government. Yet both govern
ment and the corporation are her sgents.
one natural with general powers, the other
special with specific powers and duties. II
is not easy 10 see how this substitution
changes the nature Of the function.
We understand that our correspond
ent is correct In his statement Of the
functions that are socialistic In their
character, but the distinction which
he says it is difficult for him TO see
consists in this: When the function
is performed by the state it is per-

tation has gone far enough. The AD-
vocATE not only published the de-
tense alluded to, but it proposes To
stand by it, and to designate by their
proper title the cowsrdly ours who
make a practice of assailing the char
acter and reputation of good men
only because they have the courage
to be independent IN their views and
utteranCes. If you know anything
wrong about Mr.. Clemens let us have

a villain In every paragraph like the
above chat finds place in your
columns.

formed solely for the public good and
with no idea Of taxing the people foE
profit. Take the postal system as an
example. The purpose Of the govern
ment is to make it as nearly selfsus-
tanning as possible, but not to tax the
people for purposes Of gain. If the
power to conduct the postal system
were to be delegated by the govern
ment to an individual or corporation,
that individual or corporation would
operate 1t, not alone for the public
good, but for gain. Again; if the
postal system as operated by the
government should yield q revenue
above cost of operation, the profit
would accrue to all the people. re-
would go into the public treasury and
be available for other public expen-
ses; whereas in private or corporate
hands the profits would 90 to indi-
ViduAls.
There is still another distinction in
case of our railroad system in private
hands. The power Of taxation which
is a function belonging alone to the
state, is illegally delegated to private
parties, and the people are afforded
no safeguards against the abuses
prsctiCed Of taxation Of one class for
the benefit of another, even to the
extent Of paying interest upon fCti-
tious capital and dividends upon
wstered stock. II would seem that
our correspondent would be able to
see these distinctions.
He is undoubtedly correct about
the power Of individuals or Oorpor-
atoms to construct roads or other
public utilities where it is necessary
to take private property for public
use except as the agent of nation,
state or municipality. He is right
also in that the functions performed
by railroad and other corporations
are public functions. Our tn cory is
that the delegation of these powers
to individuals and corporations for
private gam is illegal, that such dele
CATION of power to tax one class for
the benefit of another was never con-
templated by the founders Of the
republic; and when they are so dele
gated the function performed ceases
10 be sOCislistic in it's character
because it Is performed for private
gain instead Of solely for the public
good.
