DIR. DILLE's SOCIALISM.

1t Made Orth cd OK Socialism SILVER and
Loudly Make Protest.
Chairman John Larsen raised false hopes
Wednesday night when he announced in
the crowded Turk-street Temple to Liberty
Branch of the Socialist Lator party that
Rev. DR.. E. r. Ollie was a socialist OF
course the announcement was made upon
report and like all things founded upon
report the verification was disappointing.
DR.. Dille's subject was, Wealth, Wages,
Work." The doctor started out very well,
indeed and the scarlet bunting draping
the speakers stand aid not seem out of
place when he denounced the corpora
tions, the mouopolies and the trusts and
told of his pathy with the striking
coal miners. He was warmly applauded
when he recommended the Governmental
ownership and control of public utilities.
When he spoke OF the division OF labor
and the many evils it entailed under the
present social conditions, he had his audi
ence with him.
Radical socialism, such as inculcated
by the Socialist Labor parry and in Bella
my's Looking Backward, t" had a fatal
and self-destructive ensot, he said. 1t
abolished the individual, and assumed
that an idle, lazy, vicious man could be
made good by giving him three meals
day with Government spoon and pre-
senting him with two suits of clothing
year.
1.-The present system, imperfect and I'M
satisfactory as it is, ;" con tinued DR.. Ollie,
would not be so bad if the men ana
women in its makeup were better. Bel.
lamy takes no account of the fact that
every man is selfish and lazy. Every man
is as lazy as he dare be and he will not
work unless under the spur of motive.
That motive is the fear of want, and
therefore under the sociallstic plan there
would be no incentive. The trouble with
Bellamy's system is that it proposes 10
save society without saving the individ-
ual and leaves human nature out of the
question.
II would rather live in an old rookery
in Tar Flat than be taken in charge of by
Government baby act. The world is
bad enough now. with its poverty and ig-
norance, but it is in finitely better than a
despotism like that.
"What 1 think the world needs is more
government from within-a modified So
cialism which should safely give play to
lndividualism."

PortIand's Chief Blue
coat Brings About a
Marriage.
Assists a San Francisco Girl
in a Search for the Man
She Loved.
The Big Hearted Official Pays
Wedding Expenses and Sup
plies the Ring.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 6-Chief OF
Police Barry has proved Cupid in the
case of San Francisco couple. On the
23d of last month Ruth Inman. a girl %
years of age, of MiGna street. wrote to
him upon the suggestion of Sergeant of
Police Colby of San Francisco asking that
he aid her IN finding young man named
Frank Parks, between whom and herself
mutual attachment existed. The writer
added that were it not for the influence OF
his people he and she would now be mar
Iied.
Il know" continued she, "that if l
could see and have an understanding with
him he would wed me, as l am sure he
really cares for me and knows | am an in
nOcent girl. l do not wish to cause his ar
rest nor do l want an officer to approach
him, as that would bring about necessary
publicity in the matter and trouble. But
if you can locate him for me, l can see OF
write to him and our trouble would be
ended. He has promised to marry me
and our engagement has been announced
in the pap ers."
The rest of this letter was of the most
intensely appealing nature, and no one
who read it could doubt that it was penned
by a good hearted woman who valued her
honor above all else. Chief Barry took thar
view OF the case. He put forth his best
efforts to locate Parks. He was success
full day or two later and he at once wired
10 the expectaut young woman.
On the 30th OF July Miss Inman wrote
to Chief Barry a letter proiuse with the
deepest gratitude. She added that she
would sail on the Columbia for this city
last Sunday and would like TO meet her
affianced at the steam ship dock. The de-
termined young woman arrived here on
Tuesday and met the young man, who
was not at all averse to making her his
wife.
1t transpired that Parks was out OF
funds pending his appointment to lucra-
tive place in large mercantile house III a
few days. So Chief Barry played the part
of a generous Cupid. He not only paid
for the marriage license and bought her a
we'd ling ring, but advanced the new groom
a few dollars to help him out until he was
settled in his new business position. And
now they are married.

FILIBUsTERING TAOTIOs.

The proceedings in the National Senate
on Thursday showed a determination on
the part of the opponents Of the Nicaragua
canal bill to defeat it at this session of
Congress by flibustering. Every effort
made to obtain from them consent TO take
q vote on any particular day was defeated.
They made manifest beyond any DOUBT
that they intend TO do what is popularity
known as talking the bill to death"
When Senator Turpie closed his speech,
which had occupied the morning session
of three consecutive days, Senator Morgan
asked that vote be taken on the bill and
amendment at 4 o'clock on the succeed
ing day. To this Senator Turpie objected.
saying that while he was not prepared to
offer an amendment, he knew of two or
three Senators who wished TO speak on
the proposition. Morgan then proposed
that the vote should be taken next Tues
day, but Turpie would not agree even to
that.
After some further debate Senator Nor
gan proposed to the opponents of the bill
that they should fix their own time for
taking the vote, but to this proposition
Senator Villas, speaking tor the opponents
of the measure, said they did not feel pre-
pared at that time to fix any day for
closing the debate. 1t IS evident, there
fore, that the opponents of the measure
are not willing to have it come TO a vote.
They are aware of their weakness and will
take every advantage of the lax lules of
the Senate 10 postpone action on the
measure until the time comes when, un-
der the law, the present Congress will be
ad iourned sine die.
The opponents of the Nicaragua canal
bill are in almost every case the friends
and supporters of the great transconti-
mental railway. They are the men upon
whom Mr.. Huntington relies to carry
through the Senate his bill providing for
the settlement of the Pacific roads debts
by Governmental commission. Filibus-
tering for them therefore is q system OF
tactics which they will soon have to re-
gret. If it is permissible in the Senate
for the friends of the railroad to talk the
Nicaragua canal bill to death it will be
equally permissible for filibustering tac-
tics to be employed against the railroad
commission bill,
While the people will justify the oppo-
nents of Mr.. Huntington in defeating the
railroad commission bill by flibustering,
since Mr.. Huntington's friends have used
such methods to defeat the Nicaragua
canal bill, they will not, however, give
their approval TO such tactics on general
principles. The long delay of the Senate
in dealing with important measures has
become grievous evil in National legisIa-
ton. The Senate was created to attend to
public business-not to delay it, postpone
it and interfere with it.
Senator Hoar, during the debate on
Tuesday, called attention to the develop
ment in later years of ihbustering in the
Senate. He stated that it was the custom
in the Senate when he first came to Con-
gress not to lay an important measure
aside after two or three hours each day OF
discussion, but to continue the debate far
into the night and so bring the measure to
vote. He declared that the former Gus
tom should prevail now, and the people
will agree with him.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-23
A GOOD MOVE.

The proposal to remove the reform school
for girls from Whittier to the home for
merlY occupied by feeble minded children
in Santa Clara County will, If adopted by
the Legislature, prove to be good move
in every respect. 1t will be of advantage
to the girls, to the cause of education and
to the State. 1t will entail little or no
extra cost, and on the other hand will
provide use for buildings now owned by
the State, but unoccupied, and to that ex-
tent will be true economy.
The experiment made at Whittier of
conducting a mixed reform school to
which both boys and girls are admitted
has not been satisfactory. The authorities
at Whittier will be well pleased to have
separate reform school established for
girls, and there can be no doubt that they
are thoroughly justified in believing that
the separation would be of advantage to
both sexes. If such separation is to take
place it is certainly an economy to remove
the girls to the buildings already owned
by the State at Santa Clara rather than to
erect new building for them.
The buildings in Santa Clara County are
we'll located for reform school, and have
every advantage which can be desired for
such an institution. The houses are
roomy and well arranged; they are sur
rounded by ample grounds for exercise,
recreation and work; they are conven-
iently near railroad stations, and the eli
mate is well known to be about as near
perfection as is attainable in the world.
The home for fee ble- minded children was
removed simply because it was desired to
connect with that institution large farm.
No other objection was ever made to the
Santa Clara grounds and none can be
made. AS a matter of fact the grounds
there are amply large enough to employ
all the energies which the reform school
can give to outdoor work.
1t will certainly be to the advantage of
the State to make use of the now unoccu-
pied buildings. Devised as they are for q
State institution, they would be of little
value to private parties and could not be
sold to advantage. 1t will therefore be an
economy on the part of the State to make
use of them, and all the more so since
some arrangement must be made for pro-
viding a separate home for the reform
school girls.
A State commission is to visit the
grounds next week for the purpose of in
specting them, and there can be no ques-
tion but what they will find them we'll
fitted for the proposed use. The Legisla-
ture will have the approval of the whole
State if they make this much-needed
change. 1t will be as we have said in
every sense of the word good move.
