Socialism Is Due In 1908.
Nov, the agitation for Socialism, as
IL Is known to-day, began In earnest
about 1872. It was rife everywhere in
1876. II am right In my inference from
history, therefore, Socialism is due by
1905-perhaps by 1902; and 1t will be
due all over the world, for It's agitation
has been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Western university some time ago ad-

Gators could no more ignore Socialism
than they could ignore chemistry and

with one exception, the situation to-
day Is very much like that Of France Just
before the unforeseen turmoil was ex-
cited which inaugurated the French rev.
Olution. That exception Is that the per-
version Of the Socialist hopes does not
make the people ill-humored. For the
first time in history we are to see con-
structive reVolution-a revolution
wrought by the printing press and the
tongue Obedient to love and sympathy,
not to hate.

Thirty Years In History.
1.-THE American Anti-Slavery Society
was organized in 1882. In 1862, the
emancipation proclamation was ready
for use. From the organization Of the
Chartist movement in England till its
demands were part Of the British con-
stitution, thirty years elapsed. Several
of the colonies asserted, in 1746, the doc
trine that the colonies had independent
power as to their own affairs. The agi-
tation began In earnest then In conflicts
with the Governors appointed by the
crown. In thirty years, q continental
congress proclaimed the Declaration Of
Independence In thirty years after
ROsseau and the Encyclopedias began an
organized agitation, the Bastile fell and
the old monarchy Of France had ceased
to be.
"In 1851, agitation began against the
attempts of British land-holders to re-
store the slavery from which the poor
had become partially free. In 1881, thirty
years later, came the Peasants revolt,
under Wat Tyler, which forced the land
lords to begin to let go. From the date
when Luther's movement ceased to be
q mere reform within the existing
church, and became an independent and
hostile agitation, count thirty years, and
you reach the Augsburg confession, the
triumph of Luther's revolt.
why Not Law Of Nature
There are few instances which seem
to tend to prove the existence Of ma
ural law that apostles have only to begin
a great movement and agitate vigorously
for 1t, and In thirty years heaven will do
the rest. Why should 1t seem incredible
that there is such a law? Is such regU-
larity OF periods Of growth and con-
to be found nowhere In ma
ture? Is 1t not the rule? Cannot the
farmer make a pretty good guess how

Dover, Oct. 25.--The remains of DIR.
Samuel Creadick of Philadelphia, form
erly of this place, were brought to
Dover yesterday morning. The funeral
procession, which formed at the depot,
was very long, and nearly an hour
elapsed before it reached Wesley M. E.
Church, where services were held. They
were conducted by the Rev. G. Nj.
Simpson, D. D., pastor of Wharton
Street M. L. Church, Philadelphia,
assisted by the Rev. G. w. Beckley,
ID. D., pastor of Bethel M. e. Church,
Philadelphia and the Rev. Vaughan
s. Collins, principal of the Conference
Academy, Dover. The honorary pall-
bearers were DIR. Bradley, DIR. West,
DIR. Rhoades, DIR. Freund, G. III.
Hulings, all of Philadelphia, and DR..
P. s. Downes of Dover. The floral
emblems were elaborate. One was a
broken column several feet high, from
the Select and Common Councils of
Philadelphia, of which the deceased
had been member. Another was a
ladder, sent by the four physicians of
Philadelphia, who acted as bearers.
The services at the church lasted nearly
an hour, after which interment was
made in Lakeside cemetery.

ELECTED BISHOP OF KIoTO.


ArcnutacUn bau Oh wilmington hOnOreu
by General Convention.
The House of Bishops Of the General
Convention, in session at Washington,
on Monday elected the Rev. George G.
Hall Of this city to be bishop of Kioto,
Japan. Archdeacon Hall has been
attending the convention, but returned
home a few days ago, and although
there was q report last week that he
was talked Of for d bishopric, no
defiplte action became known until
the announcement OF his election yes
teroay, and it came as q surprise to
Mr.. Hall. ITe and Mrs. Hall have
been preparing to occupy the new
rectory of st. Johns Church on the
boulevard, which is nearing COM
pletion.
Kioto is new diocese, which COM
prises the city of Kioto and con-
siderable district thereahouts. The
city has about 800, 600 Inhabitants and
has been the home of the emperors of
the centre of the Buddhist religion and
is noted for pottery and silks. The
Episcopal Church has number of
churches, and q school there, the
school having been built with money
contributed by Holy Trinity Church,
Philadelphia. Mr.. Hall was born so
years ago in Perry county, Pa. He
was d son of William and Margaret
Hall. His mother is dead. His father
resides in Nebraska, where the most
Of Mr.. Halls family live. The son
attended the schools of Madison town
ship and the preparatory school at
Mercersburg, Pa, and thence went to
Franklin and Marshall College, where
he graduated at the head of his class.
After leaving college he studied for
three years at the Theological Semi
nary at Lancaster and entered the
ministry Of the German Reformed
Church in the United States. Two
years later he entered the ministry of
the Protestant Episcopal Church. He
studied year at the General Theo-
logical Seminary in New York.
Most of his ministry has been spent
in central Pennsylvania. He was arch
deacon of Scranton for five years and
was also examining chaplain. Some-
thing over four years ago he came from
Honesdale to this city to take the
rectorate of st. Johns. The work of
that church has made rluch progress
under his efforts. He is serving his
second term as archdeacon of Whining
ton, and has been, with the Rev.
DR.. Charles Z. Murray, examining
chaplain,

has been done in this matter and there
is no necessity for making mistake
on election day. 1t has been pointed
out that If q person wants to vote for
Samuel NJ. Knox he can do SO, either
by voting the straight Republican
ticket, both Of the Republican tickets
being alike, with the exception of the
First Senatorial district candidate, or
the name of Samuel N. Knox can be
scratched on the. Union Republican
ticket and the name Of Samuel M.
Knox substituted. II such voter
fails to act as outlined above he votes
for Samuel N. Knox and against
Samuel M. Knox. Without question,
such votes will be SO construed by
the Senate, which is the final judge in
the matter.
II might add, in speaking Of the re-
suit, that the city of Wilmington will
be carried by the Democrats for the
second time In more than 40 years at a
State election. The last time was in
1888.
II learn that there is full Demo-
cratic registration in the two lower
counties and predict that the Demo-
Gratis will carry both of them. -

Experience ON the Reading Railroad.

Susquehanna, Pa, Oct. 25.--When
the night express train, No. 12, east
bound, of the Erie railroad arrived at
this station about 12 O. clock last night,
the engineer, Henry Kinsley of Sus-
quehanna, was found dead in the cab
with his head badly crushed.
After the train left Binghamton, %
miles west of here, trainmen and others
noticed that the enigneer failed to give
the usual singals at crossings and
small stations, and that the train was
running at an unusual speed.
Fireman Cowgirl noticed that the
whistle was not blown for this station,
and going forward into the cab found
the dead engineer.
The train had run 20 miles at ter
rife speed without an engineer. There
were over 200 passengers on the train.
1t is supposed that the engineer was
hit by water crane at a point just
east of Binghamton. Engineer Kinsley
was one of the most reliable engineers
on the Erie road. He leaves q widow
and several children.

His Second Wife Secures Letters on His
Estape Before No. 1 Appears.
Register of Wills Crossan on Monday
afternoon granted letters of admins
tration on the estate of Joel W. Poore
to his widow, Elizabeth Poore. About
an hour later, Mrs. Ella Adele of No.
320 Crown street, Philadelphia, ap.
peared at the registers, office and said
she was Poore's first wife, and asked
for letters on the estate. She was rep
resented by Benjamin Nields, but was
too late. Notice of an appeal from
the registers decision was given, and
the case is to be heard next Monday.
Mrs. Adele also visited the Poore
residence, No. 121 French street, and
told Mrs. Poore she was Mr.. Poore's s
first wife, and had never been divorced
from him, although she had married
again. Poore had had son by her,
who lives with Mrs. Poore, his step
mother. Mrs. Adele wanted to take
the boy back to Philadelphia, but he
did not want to CO. Mrs. Abele said
that Poore's estate belonged to her
and if she so desired she could put
Mrs. Poore out in the street. To pre-
vent trouble, Mrs. Poore called in De-
tective Jones and Special Agent Stout,
and Mrs. Adele did not put her threat
into effect.
Mrs. Poore seems to believe the story
told by Mrs. Adele. She says Poore
and the woman were married in 1887,
but separated after few years and
Mrs. Abele married again. Mrs. Poore
No. married Poore about year and
o half ago, not knowing, she says.
that Poore had wife living. She said
she would be willing to give up the boy
provided she is allowed to see him
once a month.
