INFAMOUS SOCIALISM.
4 Monstrnus Proposal That the Liberals
Are Bound to Resist.

A Monstr"u~ Proposal That the Liberals
Are Bound to Resist.
No system which the brain of man
has ever devised carries that tyrannous
repression so far as socialism, says the
Fortnightly Review. Liberty, let me re-
peat, means the power of man TO
make the most and best of himself; TO
develop fully his personality. This is
his aboriginal, imprescriptible, inalien-
able right, it's limit being that the cor
responding right of others is not in
tringed. And private property is real
lied liberty.
1t is. in it's first idea, the guaranty to
an individual person Of what has been
wrought through the exercise of his
personality, by labor and abstinence. 1t
is essential to the development and
maintenance of personality in this
work-a-day world. 1t is requisite for
the very existence of the family. But
| socialism, even in its mildest type,
means the confiscation of private prop
erty, the destruction of the family and
the humiliation of individual freedom.
II PROPOSES W ltilleuN WIldl ~ CdllS--
not altogether without reason--the
slavery of labor not by vindicating the
| liberty OF the laborer. but by establish
ing Il system of universal servitude.
This monstrous proposal the liberal
party in England is bound to resist
even, if necessary, to the shedding of
blood. And to the shedding of blood the
matter is not unlikely to come in the
long run. For socialism is rather sect
than party. Its votaries are animated
by spirit akin to that of religious en-
thrsiasm. They are largely of the stuff
of which martyrs are made
Assuredly, the privilege of sealing
their testimony with their blood should
be withheld from them as long as posi-
BILE. But it may not be always possible
And as assuredly the preservation of the
fair frame Of civilization is of far more
account than are the lives of few fools
and fanatics.

The tragic fate of Capt Wilson Hub

States in 1898. is recorded by the his
torian Of Stratford. Conn. While re-

tragedian. Tomasso Salvini, was born in
school at Naples, Florence and Genoa and
in Switzerland, afterward entering a tech
nical school IN Florence. 1t was intended
that he should become an engineer. In
1881 he came TO America with Charles
ChizZola, the manager of Rossi's Ameri-
can tour, and instead of looking up a place
as an engineer as he had intended went
with Rossi's company for consid era BILE
part of the tour.

and studied English so that he could speak

SoRs MURDER THEIR FATHER.
Antonio Jeroio Becomes the Victim of
0fspHngs Probably crazed BY a
Death in the FdnHg

SOUTH VINELAND. n. j., Dec. 15.-
A horrible tragedy occurred near here
yesterday. Antonio Jeroio, aged 65 years,
was brutally murdered by his son Tony.
The Jeroio family was composed of old
man Jeroio and four sons-Antonio,
Nicholas, Louis and Charles.
Three weeks ago Nicholas died. and
since that time the family has been acting
very strangely. About two weeks ago the
two younger sons were arrested and sent
to jail for disturbing the peace by con-
tinually praying around tue Catholic
churches. Their time having expired,
they were liberated on Saturday last and
returned to their home.
They celebrated their release by brutality
attacking their father, whom they drove
away from the house. He returned yesIer-
day, and upon entering the house was
thrown into the cellar where he was again
attacked by his three sons. He managed
to break from his captors and fled across
the fields, closely pursued by Antonio,
who overlook him about 100 yards from
the house and hit him over the head with
a cordwood stick, telling him to the
ground and killing him instantly. Jeroio' s
head was mashed to a jelly and his brain
oozed from the wound.
The only cause for the crime is that
Antonio became crazed with grief over
the loss of his brother and committed the
horrible murder as a sacrifice, as he
claimed such a sacrifice would restore the
lost relative. He admits the killing. An
inquest was held to-day.

Decision That Means a
Death Blow to Racing
in Missouri.
Outlawed Tracks Cannot Stand
the Competition of Downtown
Gambling Resorts.
And the Big Spring and Summer Meet
ing at the Fair Grounds Will
Also Be Crippled.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 15.-1n decision
rendered to-day by the Supreme Court at
Jefferson City the poolroom law OF 1895 is
declared unconstitutional, and the State
of Missouri is now without race betting
law. The decision was based on an appeal
of Thomas Walsh of st. Louis, who was
sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 for con-
Quoting a poolroom in this city. The
effect of the decision will be to reopen all
poolrooms, which have been closed during
the last two years, and will also result in
the abandonment of two winter race
tracks now in operation here. as the own
ers declare they cannot compete with
poolrooms.
The Judgment of the State Supreme
Court to-day that the anti-poolroom law
under which Tom Walsh was convicted
and sentenced to fine in this city is IN
constitutional is believed to be a death
blow to racing in Missouri Both of the
outlaved tracks will close winter racing
at once, as they could not last week
against the competition of downtown
poolrooms.
The big spring and summer meeting at
the fair grounds will also be crippled.
Al Sphinx OF the South Side track said !:
"a poolroom gets more money in one day
than a winter track does in a week, so
that there can be no question as to the
result.
1.-The decision shows, however, that II is
almost impossible to make case, so that
poolroom people are going to take the
chance of getting through the courts as
Walsh did. To my mind it just reopens
poolrooms and kills off the racing IN ST.
Louis"
President c. C. Mafitt of the Fair
Grounds Association said: 1.-The tracks
will have to stop operations and the old
fair grounds will be sold cut and cut up
the crowds and keep people enough away
from our tracks to make the tracks close"
