CORONER EANMRTTs DUTY.

Qusrterman Horatia n. Steele, employed
at the Washington navy yard, met horrible
death there on Friday by the bursting Of a
steam pipe. 1t is the belief Of his friends
that his death was due to the csrelessness of
the higher officials Of the yard in compelling
the man to repair q broken pipe carrying a
full head Of steam, when common prudence
would have required the steam to be first
turned of. Steele, however, being merely a
humble subordinate and not the wearer of
brass buttons and gold lace was forced 10
obey orders.
Steele is dead and it now becomes the duty
Of the coroner 10 ascertain the cause OF his
death. But Coroner Hammett also takes the
aflcial view OF the case. The man is dead.
the steam pipe scalded him, why bother the
wearers Of brass buttons and gold lace by
asking them inconyenient questions. Coroner
Hammett deems an inquest unnecessary.
We cannot agree with the coroner. It is
his duty to institute searching inyestiga-
ton. to ascertain whether Quarterman Steele
death might not have been prevented, and If
so 20 hold to strict accountability the persons
responsible for the tragedy. And if Coroner
Hamnett is blinded by the glare Of brass but
tons and gold lace, the Commissioners. whose
subordinate the coroner is, should compel &C

mere political or diplomatic considerations.
Il involves the universal resentment awak-

The whole civilized world is shocked by
the sickening reports that have come from
Asia Minor. In all history no record can be
found Of worse atrocities than have been
practiced by Turkish soldiers, under the
command Of their officers and at the behest
OF governors OF provinces. upon Armenian
Christians. Not even the American Indians,
against whom the charge Of inhuman cruelty
has often been brought, have ever been guilty
OF such acts as have recently been perpetrated
in Asia Minor. 1t is possible that some of the

BALLOT REFORM IN THE SOUTH.

Report comes from North Carolina to the
effect that one of the first questions to be taken
up by the new legislature majority of
which is composed of Republicans and Popu-
Hsts-is the reform OF the election laws. 1t
is the purpose of the majority, so it is said,
10 frame a statute which may serve as model
for other Southern States.
There is no doubt that ballot reform is the
coming issue in every Southern State. In
nearly all of these the election laws are so
constructed-e designedly or through
sheer carelessness- instead of preventing
fraud they incite, promote, and encourage it.
Year after year the cry of unfairness, cheat
ing, and political theft has been heard, and
chiefly in those districts and States where
the negroes predominant. The people of this
country are averse to Federal legislation on
the subject of elections, yet their innate love
of fairness abhors oppression, whether by
force of arms or by force of law, and public
sentiment is undoubtedly in favor of a change
in the manner and method of Sout hern
elections.

spondence with Senator Saxton, the author
Of the election law now in operation in the

Well may the hope be INDUCED that the old
Tar Heel State will blaze the way for ballot
reform in the South, and that its work will be
so full Of honors and profit for itself as TO be
initiated by every other State south of Mason
and Dixon's line

DECEM BER.

The cold, bleak days OF December,
Have come with their withering breath;
Friends that we fondly remember
Have passed through the portals of death
Leaves of the oak and the willow
Lie scattered and blown by the gale,
Like foam on the bounding billow
Or showers of northern hail
But hope in the heart still fingers
And tells of the flowers OF spring,
Where crocus with golden fingers
Points to rapture in everything.

ceeding further, however. We ought to say
that socialism is of many kinds and degrees.
Properly to describe what it really Is would
require much more extensive knowledge than
the present writer can lay any claim to. 1t
may. however, be said without fear of going
very far wrong that there are mild forms, ex-
trerne forms, and even violent forms of So
cialism. They all, however, go in the direc-
ton of the community exercising its power
through its servant. the State, for control
ling the individual for the common gool. AS
an example of mild socialism in action We
may mention the work of the Christian So
cialists of England, who aim mainly at en-
couraging cooperation III manufactures and
trade and at enco uraging legislation for the
control of factories, mines &c. For our own
part we think it would be hard to find any
thing to say against socialists of this kind,
whose plans can be tried and proposals dis
cusSed openly and freely, and allowed 10
stand or fall according to their merits. From
these We pass through all grades of socialists
till we arrive at the men who would make
the State the owner Of all land and all en-
terprises and make every man a servant Of the
State. SOM of them would even 90 SO far
as to compel all men to work q certain num-
Der of hours daily at SOME manual labour,
would do away with money as an evil that
excites men to competition with each other,
and in short would make every man a slave
of the State, to be regulated in all his move
ments by officials. If against the anarchists
We have to plead for retaining a little order,
against the socialists we have to plead for re-
tanning a little Of our liberty In its ex-
IRENE forms socialism is justas much q craze as
anarchism. although it is a craze in Che very
opposite direction. But Notwithstanding that
the directions are opposite, the violent followers
of each doctrine stand on this commons
ground, that both parties hate and wish to
destroy the existing state Of things, and this
is why we find the two parties 50 frequently
mentioned together, and why they applaud
each others violent speeches and violent
deeds. not withstanding the fundamental diff
ference IN their views as to what is best for
mankind.
To speculate ON the future of Socialism
would be to go beyond the scope of this short
article, the purpose of which is meIely to
offer a brief expla nation of the meaning of
two names commonly used in these days,
but perhaps not 50 commonly understood.

her on IL street southwest last nisht,
although he had warned her to keep away.
Nellie claimed that since the last time she
had reformed and was now working In a
steam laundry. Judge Kimball remembered
her old familiar face, and a reference to
the books Of the court showed that she had
been put under 500 bonds only a couple of
months ago. Sam Kendig. the baiiff of the
court. whose memory for details about the
criminal classes is something phenomenal.
when 1t Is known what a line OF faces
passes through the Police Court every day,
recalled all the features of Nellie's last
appearance. even to the fact that she wore
q veil which the Judge compelled her to
raise. and he knew exactly where she was
arrested. Today her face showed the eff
fects Of an evil life, but as she claimed to
have been going straight for some time
past. the court continued the case in order
to get some more evidence, for If Nellie has
really backslidden her 500 bonds will have
