New Zealand Is far ahead of the other

nEd are forwarded TO one point or an
other, where they are wanted on gov
ernment railroads or other public
works. At these points they are not
kept In camps TO be scattered again
when the work is through, but they are
assigned farms, and their work Is so
arranged that they work alternately
for the government and On their own
land. The government advances them
funds to clear their land aud TO build
themselves homes. In all parts Of the
colony The penniless-out-of-work is by
this system being converted into a
thrifty land owner.

SENATORS BY APPOINTMENT.
VeIed Question OF Governors Right
to Act When the Legisla-
ture Does Not.

The constitution Of the United States
provides that the time, place and man
per Of holding elections for United
States senators shall be prescribed by
the legislature OF the states they repre-
sent. 1t provides, too, that congress
shall at NO time alter regulations for
the choice Of senators, and section 5
Of the constitution provides that each
OF the houses Of congress shall be the
Judge Of the qualifications Of its own
members. This Ia all the law there is
on the subject Of the admission Of
United States senator's, and for many
years there has been going on Q con.
troyersy on the subject of the right
OF a governor to appoint a senator
where the legislator has failed to elect.
The question Is as complicated indeed
as that OF the identity OF the man who
struck William Patterson, the birth.
place OF Homer. the respective merits
and advantages OF city and country life,
and the schleswig -Holstein dispute.
N~omlnally, OF course. where the term
OF a senator has expired-and this is
one of the few controversies Of Ameri-
eaR politics Of which there Is no par
tiAan aspect-or when his term is about
10 expire, the duty OF the legislature
OF his state to choose his successor is
perfectly clear, and usually the legiG-
lature conforms TO It. At times, how
ever, such a result is not easily at
tained. A Legislature may be dead

THE DESERTED VILLAGE
nut seven Persons Remain 60 InhAbit
Vast Property Of the
marmOnlsts.

Writing Of communists experiments,
Arthur Henry draws this dramatic pic
ture Of the decline Of the Harmonists:
AT the present time, 70 years later
than that at which Aaron Williams
wrote, there are but seven members OF
the Society OF HaTmonists. -Four aged
women and one man, all oyer 70, and
John Duss aud wife, who are about 40,
are all thai remain Of his once pros
porous hive OF people, Most Of the fac
tories have disappeared. The great
barus thai onre sheltered hundreds Of
cattle are empty, The hocks and herds
are gone. The broad fields are unteud-
ed. The town, while still preserving
its ancient semblance, is inhabited by
another people. The houses, hotel and
store are all rented. Many Of those
now occupying 'he quaint, v~ire-eoyered
dwellings work in Pittsburgh. Some
are the hired hands, employed TO do
the little labor still required by the
society. Few OF the people now living
at EcOpomy know anything even OF
the history of he former Inhabitants.
Not one in twenty can point out to you
where the surviving harmonites re-
side. These aged remnants of the So
ciety are seldom seen. Now and then
two of the more active women appear
hand in hand and walk slowly, silent
ly through the street by the store or
wine cellar, TO the meeting mouse, or
garden. Joint possessOrs of a vast es-
tate, they dress in plain, old-fashioned
gowns of calico, or Bingham. grow what
vegetables they still have strength to
care for, and busy themselves from
dawn to dark about their households.
1t has been many years since any OF
these aged mes have needed 70 work
at all. Whetever they desired would
have been theirs Tor tie asking, Bot
the greatest distress that can befall
them Is 10 fail for u day in the little
strength still left tnem. to do the work
OF their house and garden.
While celibacy was thus operating
at Harmony, other causes were work
ing the gradual whitening Of the COM
munities elsewhere. II January, 1851,
an inventory showed the Wallingford
and Oneida PerfectionisIs to be worth
over 6 1000. In the next ten years their
net profits amounted to $4,000. In
1874 they were worth over half a mil
lion. Yet to-day, still controlling vast
property, they are but few in numbers,
and, as a community, nothing."-Ains-
lees.
