ANARCHISTS AND SOCIALISTS.

Few persons understand the theories
entertained and preached by the ad-
vocates of these two systems. The
mention of the one generally suggests
the other, and one person in hundred
is not aware that Anarchists and So
cialists reprerent the two pales or ex-
tremes of social theory. From the
Boston Herald we reprint definitions
of each, showing their marked opposi-
ton to each other:
Stated briefly, the Anarchist believes
that the people of this country are too
much governed the Socialist believes
that they are not governed enough.
The Anarchists would do away with
the laws that are now on the statute
books, whatever they may be; would
abolish congress, legislature, govern
ors, presidents, city councils, mayors
and all of the paraphernalia of gov
ernment, giving each individual right
to do as he saw fit, qualified merely
by the right of all other citizens to do
what they saw fit, believing that in
this way each man would be in a
position to secure, without let or him
derence, the largest possible share of
worldly well-being. If he did not
succeed it would be his own fault, and
he would have no one to blame but
himself.
The Socialist theory is precisely the
reverse of this, starting as it does, on
the assumption that it is incumbent
upon each individual to do all that
he can for the welfare of others. In
stead of finally dismissing legislatures,
and discharging, once and forever, all

As the Prophet had told his companions

three cheers when they emerged from

recent vaunting. The cavalcade rode
down to the lake and went into camp
on the shore The horses were staked In
such grass as they had never cropped
before, and they rolled and ate with a
sense Of enjoyment in striking contrast
with the feelings Of their masters.
Fires were lit and the red glow flashed
out on the lake, turning it to blood and
frightening the wild fowl sleeping in

flow of spirits than usual When the
evening meal was over, he went from

SLAVE RAIDS IN AFRICA.

More Than = Hundred Villages DESTROYED
In One Campaign.
As we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopulat-
ed and the villages were in ashes. We
passed dead bodies floating in the river.
Canoes were standing on end like hol-
lowed columns; crowds Of fusitives
were afioat and hiding among the reedy
Islands. These were all signs of gen
eral terror, but we could get no infor-
nation o. its character. Vague ideas of
an invasion from some savage tribe
came to our minds, and now and then
we had misgiving that there must be
Arab siavers in the neighborhood.
Continuing our ascent, on the third
day we came in sight of a huge Arab
camp on the right bank, and before long
we discovered that the Arabs of Nyan-
give Uivingstone's farthest point, hav-
ing heard the most exaggerated reports
OF our successful descent Of the Kongo
in 1877, had fastened after us to reap q
harvest Of ivory and slaves. They had
been too successful Over 11S villages
had been destroyed below Stanley falls
alone, rich plumber of ivory was in
their camp. and several hundred slaves,
old and young. were herded like goats
and heavily fettered in the slave pen. 1t
then appeared that while we had been
negotiating with the negro chiefs along
the river, making roads, building sta
tions and hauling steamers overland,
the Arabs CT Nyangwe had been coming
down the river. laying the country
waste. We had ut last met, about so
miles below the falls. A glance at the
scenes of the camp was sufficient to re-
veal what q future awaited the Kongo
valley had we not conceived the project
Of opening the river to civilizing infiu-
ences. There was not moment to lose.
We had no authority to open fire on the
miscreants. They We're subjects of the
Prince Of Zanzibar, who was q protege
OF England. and to plunge into,hostili-
ties with them might possibly involve
us in serious complications. But while
we dared not use force we believed that
by continuing the same system We bad
found SO successful with the native
chiefs we could check the audacity of
the slavers by our mere presence.among
them. After some days spent in cautious
and friendly negotiations with the
Arabs We were permitted to establish a
station ut the falls, and after seeing it
well advanced we turned the prows of
our steamers down river toward Leo
