window was decorated. The fire spread

esLlAMYsM SCORES A FAILURE.
some of the Many Obstacles to Success
in Carrying Out the scheme.

(Fsom the San Francisco Chronicle. !
Vancouver, Dec. 5.-The socialistie
community that started cooperative
society near Hastings b. G., three years
sgo, Is a busted community. Bella
lny's dream Choking Backward" was
the ideal aimed at by the little band of
well-meaning Missionaries, who to the
number of 200. left comfortable homes in
Vancouver to wander after strange gods
in the trackless wilderness of British
Columbia
One hundred thousand dollars, or $500
each, was the amount of cash provided to
found the city of Bellamy. as it was
called, and those who did not provide
money were allowed to pay into the com
mon treasury an equivalent in time
checks in exchange for labor on public
buildings When the social departure
was fairly inaugurated a Board of Com
missioners was appointed to settle dis
putes and to teach the doctrines of Bel
lamy. The colony soon numbered 500
men, women and children. Sawmills,
farms and trade shops were started. At
first all the men received the same wages.
Brains or skill did not count for a cent.
Soon those who shirked work lived at the
expense of the active to1lers and the colo
ny was compelled to start a scale of
wages.
Soon after the colony was founded the
brainy man ceased to think-the necessity
did not exist. There was no spur to am
bition, no competition. Then it was dis
covered that the work done in the shops
lie inf hat. pn
marketable outside. Many shareholders
in this community asked for their money
baeI but they did not get 1t. Some de-
serted. The common eating houses and
herding of families in big dwellings led to
chickering's and iealousies among the
women folk. The men took up the quar-
rels OF the weaker sex and every mans
hand was raised against his neighbor.
The commissioners, who held the cash
and arbitrabed, were overwhelmed with
appIications for the administration of
Justice, monetary and social. The COM
missioners were not equal to the occasion
and resigned IL body. No members
of the community would take their place,
and there was no Law, no justice. Man,
ers earned money outside the community
and on their return the members still
faithful to the tenets OF BellaDy de-
mandded that division be made of the
spoils earned outside.
Then the shrewdest and fittest started
up the sawmill and farms again and en-
p1oyed their weaker brethren for wages in
defiance of socialistio principles. The
community was drifting back into old
channels The ambitious got the reins
of power in their hands and all went
we'll for little while. Then creditors ar
rived and there was no money to pay
them. The books of the community
showed a debt of 100000 1t was a
busted community"
