CHAZY SOCIALISM.

CHAZY SOCIALISM.
George D. Heron, described in news
dispatches for many months past with
delightful vagueness as a professor in
an Iowa college, and now referred to as
formerly a professor in that institution,
is evidently seeking after notoriety. He
has said some more or less clever things
at different times recently; but the dec
larations imputed to him in a recent lee
ture in New York fairly apply to him the
brand Of the notoriety seeker
No church, Protestant, Catholic or Mo-
hammedan, needs or would accept de-
Tense against this mans attacks They
are delivered in the name of socialism,
and they are strictly of the character
which has long operated to deter thought
full men of decent lives from identifying
When the advocate or representative of
given cause assumes responsibility for
the brutal falsehood that the Christian
church is an immoral organization, as
Prof Heron seems to have done, he
places himself and the cause which he
represents beneath the consideration of
all classes of society save cranks and
criminals.
Prof. Heron is declared to be on his
way to visit Count Tolstoi. Does he
carry this brutal doctrine with him as
an intellectual Offering which he may lay
at the feet of his socialist master?
Doubtless. Count ~Tolstoi is q socialist,
like Prof Heron; but the one bases his
socialism on the doctrine of human char
world-worn doctrine of human hate. Toll
! stoi believes the regeneration OF human
| society will be achieved through the
benefcent influence of the Christian re-
ligion. Heron believes the same result
is to be brought about through the in
tervention of government paternalism
and that Christian worship, like individ-
ual energy, must give way to the divine
influence Of the state. Society will never
| hesitate In making choice between the
doctrine which revives the savagery OF
mediaevalism and that which seeks to
conserve every influence and energy

BAD FOR MOLINEUX.
His Testimony Before Coroner Ad.
mitted In Trial.


NEW YORK, Jan. 23--In the trial Of
Roland B. Molineux for the murder of
Mrs. Katherine j. Adams. Recorder Golf
today admitted the evidence of the de-
PENDANT given at the inquest into the
death Of Mrs. Adams. The defense fought
against the admission of this evidence,
and half a day was spent In discussing
its admissbility.
The recorder ruled that Molineux, while
before the coroner. was not charged with
murder, and the prosecution might place
Molineux's testimony before the jury.
Two damaging fiat contradictions be-
tween Molineux's testimony at the in
quest and the evidence produced in his
trial exist. At the coroner's inquest
Molineux denied ever having used or seen
any of the tri-crescent robins egg blue
paper. In the trial the Burns letter,
signed by MolineuX. and written on such
paper, was produced and acknowledged by
him. as-
Molineux also denied at the inquest
that he ever sent for patent medicine by
mail. This same Burns letter, signed by
Molineux. is a request for patent medi-
cine. Not all the testimony of Molineux
at the inquest was read today, but such
portions We're selected as Mr.. Osborne de-
sired to bring before the jury
After adjournment today Mr.. Osborne
said he still had four witnesses to call,
two being handwriting experts

goes not only unpublished, but virtually
uninterfered with.
OF course no intelligent American citi-
zen could live in this community for over
three weeks In succession without having
acquired information sufficient to enable
him to distinguish that the raid made by
the mayors force on the gambling place
of Mr.. Griffin on Saturday night last had
two animating purposes: First, to bring
the other police force and its head and
leading members into disrepute by ar
resting the man with whom certain OF
them were and perhaps are now in busi-
ness partnership; and, second. to fool the
grand jury into the belief that serious
effort is being made to suppress gambling
in ST. Paul.
The person so taking up his residence
If he had read the daily papers, would
see that crimes of violence are surpris-
ingly frequent and that the hold-up artist
operates with absolute impunity on the
very doorsteps of our citizens; that the
burglars hardly take the precaution to
make reconnaissance or to satisfy them
selves that the occupants Of the houses
they desire to enter are away, before
commencing their operations. If he fol-
lows up his observations with judicious
inquiry he will soon learn that this state
of things has been in existence during
the entire period Of the present admins
tration and that during the greater part
of that time the mayor and the chief of
the one police force have refused to speak
as they pass by, and that the chief of
the mayors police is an ordinary patrol
man, assigned to special duty as license
Inspector and, nominally at least, as
fully subject to the order of the other
chief as is any other patrolman on his
have offered for this wonderful state Of
things is that the mayor does not think
it safe politically to remove the heads of
the other police force, and chooses rather
to maintain a police force Of his own.
When the new resident of st. Paul
aforesaid learns further that the politi-
clans who are thus responsible for exist
ing municipal chaos have been sustained
time after time at the polls by majority
Of the voting population, and that they
have undisputed control of local concerns,
without the slightest apparent dread on
their part Of disturbance, he will con-
clude at once, especially If he has any
thought of going into the hold-up bust
| ness himself. or into any other form of
| industry that the law looks upon with
disfavor, that st. Paul is a most advan-
tageous site for establishing himself in
| permanently. IF, on the other hand, he
| is just an ordinary pater familias, look
ing around for a good place in which to
| bring up his family and to prosecute his
! business, his inquiries will afford him g
| lot Of information Of another kind, and
he is not unlikely to reach an entirely
| different conclusion.

RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.
Official of the Canadian Pacific Tells
of Company's Plans.

of Company's Plans.
MONTREAL, Jan. 23.-SpealSing of rail-
way extensions In the West, William j.
Whyte manager of Canadian Pacific
line west of Fort William. who Is at
present in the city, said that the COM
pany's plans in this regard were not yet
matured sufficiently to permit of a definite
statement. He went so far as to say,
however that considerable work would be
done during the coming season.. Last sea-
son a line from Winnipeg to Lac du Pres
settle was commenced. 1t Is twenty miles
in length, and a portion of the roadbed
has been graded. Another branch, which
will be about fifty miles in length. yet
remains to be completed. Leaving the
Souris branch 1t runs southwest of Bran
don and then. west to Moose mountain.
This road will be completed during the
coming summer. A good deal Of pre-
liminary work has also been done in con-
nection with the proposed double-tracking
of the mainline between Winnipeg and
Fort William. Another piece of tracking
to be completed Is that on the branch
Crow Nests line into the north in British
Columbia From this point the road may
be extended to Windermere, and on to
Golden. Another line that is just about
completed is that from Robson to Mid

JAPAN AS A TRADE C,

JAPAN AS A TRADE COMPETITOR.
If the United States wishes to secure it's
fair share Of the trade Of the Orient 1t has
no time to lose, for in the far East strong
and aggressive competitor is rising rap
idly to position of dominance The
competition Of Great Britain, Germany,
Belgium, France or Russia is old estab-
lished and can be met in course of time,
but the competition of Japan is something
different. The proximity of the japanese
islands to China, the cheapness of Japa-
nese labor, combined with the wealth of
raw material and the energy and enter
prise displayed in utilizing these advan-
tages, make Japan probably the most
formidable competitor with which the
United States will have to contend in the
Chinese markets. And then 1t must be
admitted that the Japanese thoroughly
understand the needs of the Chinese and
are prepared to cater to them, with the
added advantage Of greater familiarity
with the language and customs of the
Chinese than American merchant and
shipper can hope to acquire for some
years at least.
The enegy which the Japanese are be-
slowing upon the cultivation Of their ex-
port trade is shown by the intelligent at
tention they are giving to the encour-
agement of their merchant marine Ac-
cording to a statement in L'Economiste
Europeen. Japanese shipbuilding has
made remarkable growth in the last few
years. There are already seventeen pri-
vate docks, several of which are adapted
for the building and repairing of the
largest vessels. Regular steamship lines
are operated between Japan and ports in
Europe, America, Australia and China
The Japanese merchant marine engaged
in the foreign trade consists Of SO7 vessels,
with a tonnage of 100000, and of this num-
Der 691 are steam vessels.
The internal development Of Japan ap-
pears to be making progress equally as
rapid as the marine interests. There are
in actual operation $500 miles of railroad.
and many new lines are being construct
ed. The cotton manufactures of Japan
have total capitalization Of about s15,-
100000, mining Industries are capitalized
for about $9.OOO,OOO silk mills for 81, 500, 900.
petroleum companies about $9Oo, 900, sugar
companies about 100000 and shipbuilding
companies for about s1,6OO,OOO. These are
the figures for 1899.
If the United States is to compete on
an equal footing with the Japanese, the
first step Is to provide this country with
merchant marine capable Of carrying
all American goods In vessels of Ameri-
can register flying the Stars and Stripes.
The United States has the goods to sell.
1t has the men to man the ships, and 1t
now needs the means Of delivering its
goods to the millions of prospective Gus
toners in China, and what it wants most
In it's vessels is carrying capacity. Speed
will follow as 1t is required by the de-
mands of trade.

the purpose Of supplying the naturaliza-

during today to bring to the city hall
as many as possible Of those who are
qualified for naturalization. Any person
otherwise qualified who has not completed
