Everybody's wisdom is, In some oc-
cised by those who represent Every
body.
Is this a forward or a backward
movement? Is this one of the condi-
lions which Herbert Spencer saw and
noted here that caused him to say,
when here last, that you will have to
go backward before you can go for
ward?" Must the individualist revise
his logic and discard it's premises? Is
1T untrue that, in the wide view that
takes in generations, it Is better both
for the individual and the nation that
each person be given the largest pos
sible liberty of action and charged
with responsibility for it? Is the nat
ural law of the survival OF the fittest,
as the only line Of racial development.
so inhuman that the state must inter-
vene to save the unfit from them
selves. Is all this national progress
the world has seen for the last four
centuries, whose marked feature has
been the conversion of power in the
state into liberty for the subject
retrograde movement to be checked,
and humanity turned back to patri-
archalism? Is Democracy a failure?
We cannot accept this. The growth
or nations, like that Of individuals.
IS never steadily progressive. There
come intervals of reaction, Of lassitude,
where the condition, If not stationary.
IS backward. The man and the ma
ton remain thus until it's dangerous
| tendencies are perceived. and then
comes the vigorous resistance and the
| FORWARD movement again begins. 1t is
during the interval of immobility that
the movements noted by Mr.. Storey
ma their opportunity and show their
activity. Largely they have their mo-
tive In mistaken sentiment, largely in
selfish greed clacked with sentiment,
Both combine to force the conviction
IN the minds of many that the state
should take over the general supervi-
sion OF industry. Prophets Of the Bel
lamy school appear and beg11ile q
weary people, tired with lifes strug-
gles, with their dreams of Utopia
Sentiment and philanthropy, seeing the

phases of human nature, despairing Of
the slow process Of reformation Of the
individual, invoke the power of F,verv-

the evils remain unsurpassed. Selfish
ness, with keen business sense of
the advantage of having for part Of
IT'S capital the law-makiner mower of
the government, secures it under pre-
tense OF the common welfare Thus
hand-ln-glove for a time go these two
forces, the one sincere but mistaken

THE cRoconnE ACT

Republican leaders and at least one
Republican newspaper Of this city have
already announced it to be the policy
Of the party to throw aside the excel
lent precedent which has governed for
so long in the selection of the district
judges for Ramsey county, and to use
the judgeships about to become va

pocriticaI, they say that the present
attitude and condition of the Demo-
hope that any agreement can be
reached with 1t respecting candidates
for judicial positions. This is, of course,
a particularly mean and insincere
bit of partisanship. No Republican
knows what the Democrats will do.
Every Republican does know that if
his convention were to make a square
proposition to the Democrats to take
these places out of politics and main
tain a non-partisan judiciary, the prob
ability is that their suggestion would
be met more than half way. If it were
not, it would cover those who refused
it with a popular odium that they
would find 1t Ill to bear
The cue has been given to these Re-
publicans thus far in advance by those
who are running the party. They feel
reasonably sure of victory this year.
and are therefore anxious to make no
divide. You can always measure the
Republicans idea Of his prospect OF
success by observing how he regards
the judicial Office. When he thinks
that the other side has the best chance
fees ought to be taken out of politics,
and proposes a conference and fair
divide. When he believes that he has
cinch on the situation, he proceeds
to remark at the earliest possible date
that he much regrets the unreasonable
attitude Of the opposition, which will
make it necessary to precipitate a
party struggle over the judgeships, and
prevent them from being taken out Of
the list of places to be fought for. This
is in harmony with his general con-
ception of politics as a vast game Of
humbug; and the crocodile tears that
he is now shedding over the judgeships
in Ramsey county would provoke vast
amusement were 1t not for the indig-
nation aroused by his proposal to abro-
gate the old arrangement Of non
partisan bench. and to make the iu-

THE SOCIALISTIC TREND.

Moorf1eld Storey. In his address to
the National Bar association, review
ing the legislation of the year, noted
as one of it's striking features ''the
rapid growth Of disposition to assert
the general interests of the commun-
ity at the expense of individual free
dom" This is the socialistic trend no
ticeabIe, not only In this country, but
in foreign nations. We see it every
where in acts Of congress, Of state
legislatures and In the ordinances of
municipalities Everywhere it comes
under the same guise, the welfare Of
the people, and everywhere 1t rests on
the primal assumption that the people
are unable to take care Of themselves.
This assumes as it's basis the unques-
tionable wisdom of government to take
care of them. It accepts Talleyrand's
observation as basic law, that there
is one person who is wiser than any
body and that is Everybody" And

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Secretary
Morton, in his annual report, which

ministration and cite figures to show
that he has covered back into the
treasury $4,000 600 of the appropriation
for the agricultural department during
the four years, or 5000 each year.
This is in the neighborhood of 20 per
cent of the appropriations for the year.

lengthy refutation of the claims Of

He will contend that the agricultural
interests are not declining that ~ per

without any encumbrance while the en-
cumbrance on the remaining 2S per cent
was incurred in the purchase Of i'm

FAVORABLE TO MENELIK
Treaty Signed Between Italy's
Minister and the King of
AbysSinia.
Protectorate Abrogated and the
Independence of Ethiopia
Recognized.
Provision Also Made for the
Payment Of Indemnity
by Italy.

ROME, Nov. 16.-Under date of Adis-
abeba, Oct. 26, Major Verazzini, Italy's
envoy plenipotentiary to the Negus
Menelik Of Abyssinia, has telegraphed
to the Italian government as follows:
"Ihave today, with great solemnity,
signed tr eaty Of peace and a conven-
ton for the release of the prisoners lin
Menelik's hands.) The treaty provides
for the restoration of the status quo
pending the appointment Of delegates
by Italy and Abyssinia year hence to
determine the frontiers by friendly
agreement. II recognizes the absolute
independence of Ethiopia and abrogates
the Uccialli treaty. Italy undertakes in
the meantime not to cede the territory
to any other power Should she desire
spontaneously to abandon the territory
it would return to the Ethiopian rule. !"
By the Ucclalli treaty concluded in
1886 between Menelik and Italy, Abys-
sinia became an Italian protectorate.
The settlement announced above by
Major Verazzini is the outcome of the
Italian reverses at the hands Of the
Abyssinians. Major Verazzini tele-
graphs further as follows:
1.-THE treaty provides for the conclu.
sion of further commercial treaty if
necessary. The present treaty will be
communicated to the powers and rati-
fed month hence. The convention,
after detailing the arrangement for
the release of the prisoners, provides
that Italy shall indemnify Abyssinia
by sum which the Negus leaves to
Italy's sense of equity for the expenses
incurred in the maintenance Of the
Italian prisoners"
