is placed bet ore him, the battle of inn
pulses Immediately begins within him,
andlunless he is man of extraordi-
nary force OF will he falls at the first
onslaught, the impulse of the moment.
No matter how one views the subject,
he must confess that education is no
proof against the Vaccinations of
temptation.
My view upon this question may not
coincide with the statistical views of
the students of this question; but,
since we all know. that experience is
the best teacher, as we'll as authority.
The author is convinced, both from
experience and observation, that edu-
cation is not an essential factor in
reducing crime, unless it is strong
enough to dominate mans will in the
hour of temptation. Education is the
one precious gift that all mankind
should strive to acquire, it is really the
secret of all happiness and therefore it
ought to be made compulsory for every
youth to be educated,
Space is too valuable in The
MIRROR for me to ask for much more
to present more arguments upon this
question, so in conclusion we will just
say: You who think education the
true remedy for crime, advocate your
claims, though it be deIusion, you
are nevertheless doing great good, and
we appreciate your services, for after
all, it is only an ignoramus that man
ages to get into an institution of this
nature. j. G.. d.

Manning and Gibbons. The Rev. Sam
uel Bornett, for many years rector of
st. Jude's Church, and warden of
Toynbee Hall, London, says, that in
the slums of cities the social reformer
must precede, or, at any rate accom-
pany the preacher unless the latter be
himself social reformer.
The Rev. H. p. Hughes leading
Methodist, gives like testimony, stat
ing that he has had as much expert
ence in EvangeIistic work as any man
in England and that in his opinion it
is of no avail to preach to hungry men.
General Booth, of the Salvation
Army, tells us plainly in his Darkest
England" that it was the hopelessness
of attempting to save the wretched
and outcast population of London
without change in their environment
which led him to advocate his extern
sive plans of social reform.
Ely says: socialists generally at
tach Importance to the moral wretch
edness of society, as seen in divorces
and embeZzlements and defalcations,
both in private and public life, because
they hold that society at the present
day is so constituted that these iniqui-
ties are it's natural and almost inevi-
table outcome. Men cannot be honest,
we are told, and maintain themselves
in the business world Private busi-
ness, it is maintained, uses public office
for its own ends, and disgraces public
life. Competition in business rules
the mass of men, and is transferred to
competition in expenditures. Every
one desires to make a greater show
than his neighbor This leads to ex-
travagance, to wild speculation and to
embezzlement. The end is seen in
widespread ruin. The structure of
society, under socialism, would be such
as to abolish necessarily the idle class
es, and this constitutes strong feature
of socialism. No one under socialism
can gain livelihood without personal
exertion, and the maxim of St. Paul,
"He who will not work neither shall he
eat" would become of universal appli-
cation. w. d. r.

A Curious Catastrophe.

Three little mischiefs, Ceggy, Belve-
dere and Donny, rummaging in the
garret found an old powder flask filled
with powder. Oh what a dainty bit of
forbidden danger and hidden fire had
fallen into their hands. They thought
they would have lot of fun watching
it puff as they lighted it off, a little at
a time. Silently they stole down the
back stairs and out through the back
yard to street behind their place.
They had not forgotten to bring
matches either, and Belvedere brought
his toy gun that would crack paper
cap and shoot an arrow at the same
time. He had got it from Santa Claus
on Christmas eve.
After laying several piles on the
ground and setting them off, they
thought they would try another exper-
iment. They took Bel's gun and filled
the arrow chuck full of powder 1t
was a tin cylinder about foot and a
half long by half an inch in diameter
with spring at the bottom. Reggy
was to hold the gun upright while
Donny drop ped lighted match on the
powder. Belvedere being afraid of
getting hurt, stood in the middle of
the street while the others stayed with
the gun beside high fence at one
side. Every thing being ready, Donny
lighted match and dropped it on the
powder, but as he did so Reggy let 60
of the gun and fell on his face upon
the ground. There was flash Of light
as the gun fell with the muzzle point
ed straight at Bel standing over thirty
feet away, and to all appearances
nothing out of the way had happened.
A few minutes later though, smoke
was seen to issue from under Bel's
coat, and at the same time he felt
uncomfortably warm. Pr ling his coat
open hastily, mis- shirt ana the whole
of the inside of the front of his coat
was found to be on fire. He pulled his
coat off and threw it on the ground
and while Donny stamped it in the
snow he began rolling in a small snow
drift himself. Then after the fire had
been extinguished the three little
wights, very much puzzled, sat down
in the snow to wonder and cogitate
how in creation the inside of his
clothes had got on fire and to ferret
out some excuse to offer the folks al
home. NJ. j

Socialism.

Our class book on the strength and
weakness of Socialism, by Richard S.
Ely, shows much study and careful
compilation of facts. He says, there
is probably no country in which more
violent, bitter and even unprincipled
extremes may be found than the
United States. We have on the one
hand the anarchists, who aim to arouse
bitterness and hatred and who shrink
from no exercise of force, provided
they think that thereby they can ac-
complish their ends. With them the
torch and the dynamite bomb are ques-
tions of expediency. We have on the
other hand, a class OF men who advo-
cate the claims of wealth in exactly
the same spirit. Every proposal of
reform is treated by them with 'ridicule
and misrepresentation. 1t is the old
spirit which has ever greeted the re-
former who has advocated changes in
behalf of the masses with the cry,
"crucify him! cruelty him"
Most fortunately there is between
these two extremes a large class of
fair minded, well-meaning men and
women, who are the hope of the coun-
try. There existed early in the century
socialism of utopian type in
France, England and Germany.
France, in particular, had number of
thinkers who gained great reputa-
tion at home and abroad-Cabet, Saint
Simon and Fourier, are names which
are familiar with this early movement.
The United States had it's wave of
Fourieristic socialism and its Brook
Farm and other settlements. Albert
Brisbane, Horace Greedy and George
William Curtis among other distin-
guished Americans, took part in the
movement. This early socialism was
destroyed by our civil war, but soon
after that ceased, foreigners coming to
this country from France and Ger
many took up the work among our
wage earning population. The social
lists of Germany established the
Social Labor Party in the seventies,
and this continues to the present day.
1t early entered into political life, and
has in recent years been very active in
several parts of the country, putting
up presidential candidate at the last
election.
Their is probably no one man who
gave socialism such boom as did
Edward Bellamy in 1888, when he gave
to the public that wonderful book
"Looking Backward"
The Catholics have of late displayed
great activity in the discussion of
economic questions, and in this they
have been encouraged by Pope Leo
xiii. Two of the most noteworthy pre-
lates in this connection are Cardinal
