to the wealth of the country in 1880 was
S11, Isl, 72S,S5S, which means 5144 cents day
for each person, or $1.54 1-3 for each worker.
1t must be seen from the above that 51.44
cents a day for each person in the United
States will not permit that high degree of
luxury which the imaginative Socialist pre-
diets. 1t is more shan some receive and
much more than they earn, but it is less

Mr.. Mulhall, in his recent book, THE In
dustries and Wealth of Nations" makes the
production per day to each inhabitant in
Europe 261a cents, and in the United States
COZ cents. There can be no such theory as
a national socialism in which the per capita
dividend of the division of the products of
labor will be larger than it is in other
countries, for the reason that the country
starting out with larger per capita dividends
would be swamped by people from the coun-
tries where it should be less. This being the
case, 1t is fair to assume that the produc-
ton per day to each inhabitant in this
country would be a mean between 60A cents
and 261a cents, or about 4S 1-3 cents There
is no luxury in socialism which gives to each
inhabitant 43 1-3 cents a day. 1t is prac-
tically the submerging of the nine-tenths

to be able to present their own opinions on
the topics of the day-or. at least. on those
topics which most interest them-and de-
pend less on the thoughts of others in writ
ing their club papers. The average club
woman would not like to hear it said of her
that her years and experience have not
given her ideas worth repeating. but this is
the inference she allows TO be drawn when
she chooses subject to write concerning
which all her information must be gathered
from books. When her work is done the
unpleasant fact confronts her that the re-
suit is merely rehash. whereas an essay
evolved from her own observation and ex-
Derience of life can hardly be an "ill-fa-
vored thing and, being her own, will
arouse an interest in her hearers that no
compilation can ever do If club work con-
tinues to be carried on with the same
eagerness and zeal which now characterizes
it, the time will doubtless come when wom-
en- viii not be afraid TO take subjects of
current interest, politics. religion, social
science. reforms-whatever the topics are
that are uppermost in the world-and dis
cuss them freely. When that time comes
they win not be so far behind the times as
many of them now are and will also have
the satisfaction of being quite as literary as
if they were writing about Homer or
Dante.

WHY NOT BE EAR.

The News and Sentinel are eloquent in
their denunciation of the Fulmer-Seibert
Company because a city official, taking adj
vantage of its necessities, robbed it. They
might with equal justice denounce the vic
tim of the highwayman who yields to the
persuasion of a revolver and gives up his
money. The Fulmer-Seibert Company, in
its bid on the White river interceptor, al
lowed $1,5O0 for pumping water. When it
found that the sewer was too low and was
flooded with water it asked the city en-
gineer for relief, which was refused Sub
sequent events showed that what it had
asked was right and reasonable. Why was
it not granted at once? Instead it was
kept pumping water for weeks, until that
item had cost $4,000. instead of the esti-
mated $500, with the certainty that I'M
less the change was made the work could
not be done and the company and all con-
nected with it would be ruined. The de-
mand for the 5000, under these circum-
stances, was of a piece with the highway
mans demand, only more cowardly. In this
case, however, it was not Mr.. Holt who
held the gun at the heads of the company's
officers, but the city engineer, who allowed
weeks to elapse, and who saw the company,
day after day and week after week, strug-
Cling in a hopeless effort, until it reached
the point of desperation. The engineer may
not have intended wrong. He may not have
known the "gun was loaded Neverthe-
less it was his failure to do what he after
ward confessed was the right thing to do
which gave Mr.. Holt his opportunity.

woMEN,s CLUB WORK.

A glance over the programmes of the In
dianapolis womens clubs, published in the
Journal few days since, shows striking
contrast to those of even five years ago. In
the earlier history of the clubs the idea
seemed to prevail that no subject of con-
temporaneous human history was worthy of
consideration in body dignifed with the
title literary" To be literary meant to
delve into the past if the themes set down
for discussion were to be taken an indica-
ton. and the more remote the past the more
lofty the intellectual atmosphere enveloping
the club The ancient Greeks were served
up in all styles on the programmes, their
literature, their art, their philosophy, their
customs their heroes providing an almost
inexhaustible list of topics for papers"
The early Romans, too, served a good pur-
pose, and medieval history proved a fer
tile field. The history and literature of the
eighteenth century offered endless possible
ties; the clubs positively reveled in eight
zenith century lore. 1t cannot be that any
of these literary mines is exhausted, espe-
cially for the younger clubs, yet 1t is inter-
esting TO note that the great majority OF
subjects chosen for study and discussion
during the coming year relate to nineteenth
century matters. There is a tendency to
linger about the edges of the much-trodden
field but the disposition to talk about more
modern affairs Is manifest One club,
for example has taken for it's years work
a study of the development of America,
beginning with the people of the stone age
and the cliff jewellers and coming down TO
the condition of the colonies previous to the
revolution. This, it is true. cannot strictly
be called modern, but it is an admirable
foundation for what must almost of neces-
sity follow-a similar study of later events
in this country. In other clubs there is
shown the usual fondness for studies Of lit
erature and of the works of special au-
thors as against the more practical themes
involving the developments of science, So
cial evolution, politics and the like. There
is a hint of these. however, and indications
that among the many club women are some
who will offer original views on up-to-date
topics and wsll not find 1t necessary TO
delve into encyclopedias or other books for
material The encyclopedias have their
uses, but women should by this time have
gained sufficient confidence in themselves

STATISTICS VERSUS SOCIALISM,. ;,

No more timely and instructive article
has appeared recently in the leading peri
odicals than that of Prof. William It. Harris,
United States commissioner of education in
the Forum, entitled Statistics versus So
cialism." The writer disposes of the asser-
ton of demagogues and Socialists that 'the
rich are growing richer and the poor poorer
by comparison of earnings and wages at
two periods separated by number of years.
For instance, in Great Britain, the number
of persons whose incomes ranged from $3.50
to 81, 500 a year rose from 6S, 1854 in 1S50-51 to
241, SOS in 1S79-S0. The population of Great
Britain increased SO per cent. during this
period, but the number having incomes
between $3.50 and $1,000 was trebled There
is not a nation in which the daily earnings
per inhabitant was not materially increased
between 1860 and 1895.
Such statistics as the foregoing have been
familiar to all those who have cared to give
the subject candid and intelligent investi-
CATION, so that if the article of Prof. Harris
contained nothing else it would be of COM
paratively little Importance. It's chief in
terest lies in the fact that the author as
sails the theory of governmental socialism
with statistics. The socialism now advo-
Gated is that the government shall receive
the earnings of all the people and divide
them equally among all. regardless of their
earning capacity. This means that those
who are industrious and effective viii be
burdened by the inefficient, the idle and the
generally worthless.
The assumption of those who proclaim
this theory is that under such a per capita
distribution all win have an abundance.
Prof. Harris shows by statistics of unques-
tionable accuracy that there can be no such
abundance under the equal per capita dis
tribution. few OF the statistics of the
professor are given. In 1890 the value of all
farm products including live stock, was los
| cents per inhabitant for the whole country,
the value OF manufactures 1S4 cents. and
Of mining products 254 cents-total. 3l.74
cents This means s2.221s week, or s9522
| per month. AS only one-third OF the popu-
lation are wage earners 1t is necessary to
multiply these figures by three to get the
wages OF those who work. This multiplied
