SOCIALISM.

A theory of society which advocates more
precise. orderly and harmonious arrangement
of the social relations of mankind than that
which has hitherto prevailed.-W ebster.
A theory of civil poity that aims to secure
the reconstruction of society, increase of
wealth and a more equal distribution of tho
products Of labor through the public collec
tive ownership of land and capital las distin-
guished from property aud the public collec-
tive management of all industries. Its motto
is, Everyone according to his deeds."-The
Standard Dictionary.
The abolition of that individual action on
which modern societies depend, and the SUBJ
stitution of of a regulated system of cooper
alive action.-Imperial Dictionary.
The science of reconstructing society on an
entirely new basis by substituting the
principle of association for that of competi-
ton in every branch of human industry
Worcester.
The ethics of socialism are identical with the
ethics of christianity.-The Encyclopedia Bril-
tannica.
The farmers alliance game under differ
ent cloak."-M edicine Lodge Cresset.
Because a meeting was called at
Mumford on last Friday evening to Or
ganize club to discuss socialism the
Cresset has felt called upon to define
socialism and to warn the faithful to
beware of it. But we find there is a
difference in the definition given by the
| recognized authOritios and the Cresset.
Whether the last named is correct and
Webster and the others wrong, or
Whothor tho Croccot o,thor throunh ,rr
norance or an attempt to deceive, has
| published false definition, we are un-
| able to say; but to get true knowl-
edge of socialism the Cresset man

| However, the Cresset is not seeking
after truth; indeed he not only shuns il

to do the same. He is fearful lest

INGALLS, makes lots of hard
hits at Cy Leland and his
henchmen in his public letter
which is the political attrac-
ton in these days, and it is
doubtful if any other person
could couch as much sarcasm
and satire in as few words in
dealing with the same SUBJ
ject. For instance, we quote
two short paragraphs:
Assembled around him is a gallant
band of young, generous and lofty
spirits, like George Findlay, Lit Crum.
Frank Brown, Mort Albaugh, Jim
Simpson and their associates, animated
by the patriotic passion which drives
heroes to battle and martyrs to the
stake. To say that these eminent
citizens are attracted to Cy Leland like
flies to feculence, like buZZards to car
rion, or Esquimaux to an occasional
walrus, is an offense not defined in the
criminal code. To continually stigma
TIE these young men as professional
buns and muckworms, living at politi-
Cal free lunch counters, scurvy thimble
riggers, crooks, gamblers, bunco steer
ers and confidence meE who have work
ed conventions and legislatures, as fax
irs and pIckpockets follow a circus:
boodling hawds and draDs whose lep
rous infection no potash, nor murcury,
nor hot springs can cure. Is an outrage
on decency and truth. II there is any
dirty work about legislatures, any votes
to be bought, any reports to be smoth-
cred, any statutes to be mUtilated, the
people know it is not done by Cy LIE
land and his cabinet. What
right have Baker, Broderick and Curtis
to oppose the will of Cy Leland? They
represent nobody but their constituent
cies. Their credentials were written
only by the people. That these mere
creatures of the popular will, with moth
ing behind them but majorities should
have the effrontery to recommend any
body for Office without first obtaining
the consent of Cy Leland seems like
unwarranted and insufferable imperti-
nence."

IT will be remembered that
during the campaign of 1895
the republicans we're break

thing in sympathy for the
bleeding and dying Cubans,
but now they are breaking
their necks to crawfish. The
republican party is notorious
for making promises before
the election and breaking
them afterwards.

A Parting Shot.

A young girl was taken in to din
ner by solicitor, who probably,
considering her too youthful for it
to be worth his while to make him
self agreeable, barely spoke single
word to her during the meal 1t so
happened that she had before din
ner asked him to explain the differ
ence between a barrister and So
icitor, which he did by telling her
that, az the latter was not permitted
to speak in court, the former had
always to be employed for the pur-
pose. At the conclusion of dinner,
as the ladies were leaving the room,
she sarcastlcally addressed him in
the following words: What a pity,
Mr.. K, you omitted to bring your
barrister with you this evening. y

A Matter of Wonder.

Two men were walking along G
street at a quiet time of the day,
and man was walking only short
distance in front of them. Present
ly in line with their talk one of
the men remarked:
well, she is one of the cantan-
kerousest females ever knew"
The man in front whirled around
suddenly.
"What do you mean by talking
about my wife, sirG' he exclaimed
excitedly
What the deuce do you mean by
jumping at me like that7" snorted
the startled man in the rear, going
back on his pastern joints
''What did you say, siri"
II merely said that a lady of my
acquaintance was the most cantan-
kerous female ever met :"
well. sir, what do you mean by
saying that9''
II don't know that it is any of
your business. I don't know you,
and fail to see what you have got
to do with what say"
but you were speaking of my
wifei'
81 was doing nothing of the kind.
don't know your wife, any more
than know you"
The man seemed to have been
struck by ray of revelation. He
stopped, stepped back, rubbed his
head, bowed and smiled wan smile.
II beg your pardon" he said,
with sweet submissive gentleness.
Il thought there was only one like
her in all the world. You have my
sympathy. Good morning" And
with never word as to who he was
or whence he came, he hurried away
and was lost among the passers on
the streets. Washington Star.

A Chinese Breakfast.

The ordinary Chinese, writes an
American resident of Shanghai,
whether in city or village, takes his
breakfast at the teahouse or restau-
rant. 1t consists almost entirely of
meat rolls or patties. They are dip
ped in vinegar, soy or a solution of
red pepper, when eaten. Sometimes
the steamed rolls, after they have
grown old, are made palatable by
being toasted on a grill over a char
coal fire. Another popular dish is
doughnut fried in oil Baking is al
most entirely unknown, but there is
a cake of the size and shape of an
OK rib, which is baked by being
stuck on the inside of jar shaped
furnace, in which there is a hot
charcoal fire. These cakes are some
times circular, but in every case
they are covered with the seeds of
the sesame. which add very much to
the flavor Another variety is a
large, round cake cooked on a grid
die, and which is divided into quar-
tiers when offered for sale. The Mo-
hammedan Chinese make a similar
cake, of which they are also very
fond, without using any pork fat.
For the better quality of native
pastry and confectionery rice -four
is used, but at the treaty ports and
the cities to which foreign influence
has extended many forms of sweet
cake and biscuit are made of Ameri-
can -four. Even for purely native
varieties of rolls and cakes the
American -four is now preferred on
account of its whiteness and whole
someness.-New York Herald.

POETRY AND SCIENCE.
Poet Laureate Austin Says they Are Com
Elementary and Not Rivmln-


Poet Laureate Austin Says They Are Com
plementAry and Not Rivnls-
1t is so commonly assumed that
poetry and science are antagonistic
that an address delivered by the
poet laureate, Alfred Austin, at the
opening of a new school of science
and art, deserves a wide publicity.
Macaulay, with his well known love
of antithesis, once endeavored to
show that as civilization advances
poetry almost necessarily declines,
and taking science as one of the
most important factors in the civi-
lizing process the inference is that
a poet with a knowledge of scientific
facts labors under a disadvantage.
Now, however, we are able to give
a poet laureate 8 opinion that science
and art are Complementary TO one
another and not rivals. Science,
said Mr. Austin, is exact knowledge
that nd nothing more. But exact
knowledge is the foundation of all
the arts, and no man ever achieved
real greatness in any of them who
did not have the firmest grasp Of
the permanent facts which underlie
them. Music, the most intangible
and fantastic of the arts, cannot
move one step or excite a single
emotion without submitting to the
severe discipline of plumbers Final
ly, the matter of Il poets verse ID
not of much account unless il be ami
mated by the scientific spirit of
close and wide observation and Of
loving accuracy.
II must be obvious to any one who
has read the "Divina Commedia"
that the greatest poet of the middle
ages, than whom there was none
greater in any age, was thorough
ly familiar with all the science or
exact knowledge of his time, and
Leonardo da Vinci, who might
have equals but had no superior
in the realm of painting, was not
more fascinated by artistic concep-
tions than by what are called scien-
tifio problems, and at these he la
bored indefatigably. Alike, there
fore, by necessity and choice, art
exhibits a sympathetic kinship with
science The scientific spirit, far
from being hostile to the artistic
spirit, is ancillary to it, for, as Dry
den said, Genius is perfected b.
science " The noblest manifesto
tions of both have always occurred
in one and the same epoch. Athens
produced Euclid as well as Prax-
iteles. the vigorous old age of Mi
chael Angelo Overlapped the precO-
oious youth of Galilei, and Bacon
was the contemporary of Shakes
peare And though the century
now drawing to a close has been
pre-eminently a scientific century
the locomotive and the telephone
will not be more enduring than the
verse of Byron and Tennyson or
than the pictures of Turner and
Watts The reasoning intellect is
the foundation alike of science and
of art, but, concluded Mr.. Austin,
while reason alone suffices to
science, art is reason trans6gured
by emotion. Mature.
