Somebody sees a mudscow in the ofiiing,

The ancient. peaceful fishing tug that

a dreadful foe;
She leaves little streak Of smoke 10

And the frightened downeast Yankee

No good deed ever dies. In fact the

EDWARD BELLAMY.

The death Of Edward Belamy removes
n most interesting character from the
literary and the political world. We do
not know just what aims Mr.. Bellamy
had in view when he wrote his famous
book, Looking Backward We do not
know whether it as his purpose to pro-
mote Socialism, or simply to make a
readable book. But whatever his pur-
pose he succeeded in doing both. Look
ing backward" is a clever conception
and while possessing all the romance and
interest Of Buffers Coming Race IL
possesses also a certain plausibility which
at once commended it to all Socialists
as a prophecy Of that which was In time
to be literally valuable.
The world at large accepted Mr.. Bel
lamy's book as an interesting romance
but as we have said many people took
il seriously. so seriously, indeed that
Mr.. Bellamy himself took it seriously
and supplemented his book with news
paper called "The New Nation And so
great was the influence OF his book ana
his newspapers that between three hum
dred and four hundred papers devoted
TO nationalism have since been started
in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
This. TO say nothing of a large number
Of papcrs already in existence that have
become in a degree opponents Of the Bel
lamy doctrine.
It is not strange that Bellamy's book
should have caught the popular ear. 1t
is beautiful picture Of peace and plenty
and socialistc perfection. In the estima-
ton of the Socialists. it is condition
attainable. and they believe that If the
socialistic party could once get control
OF the Government, it would soon bring
TO pass Bellamy's Utopia. They do not
stop TO consider that perfect Socialistic
system, such as Belamy has described,
pre-supposes a perfect humanity. When
sin and selhshness and rivalry and am
bition have ceased to be. when all men
love their nelghbors so well as that the
great and powerful shall be wiling that
the weak and lowly shall share alike
the fruits OF their labors. then and not
until then will Belamys dream be real
lied.
There is and cannot be perfect Social
ism in this world. That IS TO be found
in Heaven only, and we are told that
even In that blest abode there are
"many mansions"
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1898-05-24

We learn from our Boston exchanges
that at a meeting the other day of the
business men Of that city a regular or
canization or bureau was established
FOR the purpose of securing a practical
agency to work in the general interest
OF the manufacturing and wholesale
trade OF the city in the same way as Is
done In New York and elsewhere
So far as we can gather there is nothing
specially the matter with Bostons trade
hut the merchants recognize the TACT
that in order TO maintain itself in this
dav Of competition each and every city
must have its business organization and
must be always on the alert TO protect
tho trade that It has In short, that
there Is no such thing as standing still.
All cities either go forward or go back
ward. and by reason Of steam and eiec-
,rlc,tv the country IS now so small that
almost every city Is in competition with
every other city and the most enterpris-
inc will get the lions share Of the busi-
ness that IS going.
1t seems TO be particularly wise that
Boston should make such a movement at
this time. "If in time of peace It Is wise
TO prepare for war" says the Transcript
.the converse OF the proposition IS more
omphatlcally true"
There is a whole business sermon IN
that suggestion. and we commend 1t to
the poople of Richmond. Is Richmond
preparing for peace? is question that
tho business community should discuss
not once but many times in public gath
erings
The war. be It short or long Will ne
cessarily make changes in business con-
ditions. we shall not attempt to point
out what these will be. But in a general
way we predict an awakening in the
business and in the industrial world as
soon as the war shall have ended. We
believe that there will be more thade IN
the South than ever before. We believe
that men from other sections will come
into the SCUM anu sttUC "0'S' w
lieve that there will be greater dispo-
sition on the part Of northern and west
ern people to trade with the South than
has hitherto been the case We sug-
gest. therefore, that Richmond put itself
in position TO take advantage Of every
such opportunity as may offer to extend
its trade and enlarge its business. Let
us keen constantly before us the motto of
Boston: In time OF peace prepare for

GOV. RUssELI>s CONFESSION.

Governor Russell, Of North Carolina,
has asked Senator Pritchard TO lay be-
fore the Department OF War the fact
that Ensign Bagley's death has had a
most dcmoralislng effect upon the state
troops. and that in view Of the slowness
with which volunteers arc coming in, he
may be forced TO draft the States quota.
Here is a confession that must be most
humiliating TO the people Of the OLD North
State. II IS bad indeed. that the Gov
ornor OF the State should publicly declare
that because one North Carolinian had
been killed in battle other Carollnians
are afraid TO enlist.
We do not Lelieve -. We believe that
this is a slaneer on the brave men OF
North Carolina. In the war between the
states there were no drawer soldiers than
those who came from that great State.
and we do not believe their sons such
deecnerates as Governor Russell repre-
sents them TO be.
II IS not the Generalization OF Bag
iey's death that deters them, but The de-
rnorallzatlon Of Russeliism. IL Is only a
few days ago that we quoted a dis
tinguished North Careln'an as saying
that the government OF the State during
the past several years had been 30 In

The Norfolk virginian and Pilot SAYS
that the Chicago Democracy does not
oppose all trusts, but only bad trusts.
This is to us such an interesting pro-
nouncement that we wish to discuss the
question further. and in detail with our
esteemed contemporary. We are going
to give a fair and frank reply as to the
attitude Of The Times, which the Nir-
ginian and Pilot has called in question
but before doing SO, we would have a
definition. We would know Of our friend
what, in his opinion, is a good trust
and, therefore. a trust TO be encouraged
and what a bad trust, and, therefore,
trust to be prohibited by law.
We do not ask this in any captious
spirit, but as the lawyers say, that we
may make an issue.

Editor Of The Times:

Editor Of The Times:
Sir.-I write this letter without the
knowledge of the State Executive Com
mittee Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION with the hope that the Christian
people OF Richmond may realize what a
mighty work for good is being accom-
plished through the efforts OF the Young
Mems Christian Association at Camp
Lee. The tent is packed day and night
with the soldiers. There hav been be-
tween sixty and seventy-dve conversions
in the meetings held. and there would be
hundreds more II the tent was large
enough TO hold the soldiers who wish 10
get in every night. Hundreds Of letters
are written daily and the games are go
on all the time In the camp proper you
hear swearing and see card plyaing going
on all the time just outside YOU find the
bar rooms. In the Young Mems Chris
tian Association tent YOU do not hear an
oath. The boys gather around the organ
and sing every hour In the day. Per-
sonal workers are at the tent and take
every opportunity TO help and instruct
the men in the way OF eternal life. a
great drawback Is the smalness of the
tents accommodations. If some OF the
wealthy Christian men and women would
come out to the tent and see the work IL
would not be twenty-four hours before
tent holding five hundred men. with pro-
per Equipment, would be IN place of the
present quarters. The State Executive
Committee IS certainly doing a great
work there. and I do hope the Christian
people of Richmond will take some ac-
ton to-day to enlarge the quarters There
are men in Richmond who would do al
most anything TO save their own sons
Here IS an opportunity To- fave men by
tho score. Mr.. Coulter, the State Secre-
tary. IS in charge, and will be glaa I
have no doubt. TO have the sympathy and
help OF anyone interested.
