in London.
London, Dec. So.-The customary
pressure for money at the end of the
year has been less marked than usual
and last week the demand gave the
market only a temporary impulse. At
the stock exchange the business was
small on the three days the exchange
was open, being occupied with the set
tlement of AN easy account. The mar
kets, with the exception of that for
American securities, were generally
firm. Home railway securities were
active. In foreign securities the only
feature was a sharp advance in Bra
zilians. There has been no abatement
of excitement in the mining share mar
ket,, and prices are still rushing up

road securities was as gloomy as ever.

Mans natural tendency is towards
communal relations, the formation OF
society, and the establishing of gov
ernment. Wherever, and among whom
we seek, individuals are found unit
ing and forming society. All society,
savage, barbaric or civilized, is formed
and maintained by some form of
government Its origin dates from the
first union of individuals among prim-
tive man, thence, from the simple
forms by them generated, we trace its
growth, ever growing broader, more
complex, more powerful as the scale of
racial culture and refinement ascends,
until it assumes those higher forms
which to-day are seen, the result of this
growth, growth that shall continue
until the doctrine of love and universal
Justice shall be and remain the prena-
tai inheritance of the human race. In
all conditions of life these social
unions are found to have in their for
nation, three clearly defined objectives;
strength, security and order. These
fundamentals are the foundations upon
which has been laid that weighty mass
of finite wisdom and folly, that dele
gated, assumed or stolen authority,
called government. Government is a
necessary institution. Plunge humani-
ty to-day into chaotic conditions of
unorganized existence, and tomorrow
reorganization would begin. Human
kind are prone to depart from society S
beaten path of assumed morality, which
society declares it's irrevOcable fiat;
obeyed. and the individual becomes a
part of the existing social order; op-
posed, and delegated authority arises
with the power to enforce these social
DEGREES and to punish the offenders.
And this, too, is right; for government is
needed to restrain the bad, not the
good. Were the race perfect, govern
ment would be useless institution
for right would then be done for rights
sake and not through force, compulsior
or necessity. Human nature, however
in every age and under all conditions
remains essentially the same; this being
true, then the ideal race sought for, is
only an image of the minds eye pro
duced by a distorted fancy, or dis
eased brain; perhaps a supernorma
liver. The good, however, being so few
and the bad so numerous, the latter t(
protect themselves from each othel

of interest in their welfare, while it's
dignity is aroused over the injustice to

live up to the principles by which they
