TIE POPE on SOCIALISM.
ANOTHER ENcTcLIcAL ISSUED FROM THE
VATICAN

VATICAN
Rome Jan Is The Pope's encyciical on Socialism
was issued to-day. It is dated January Is The
Pope begins by recalling his two previous encycli-
calls on social questions, and says the sequel OF
these encyclicals was that the Catholics devoted
all their activity social works in order to help
the working classes. He reviews all that has been
done in this direction, the foundation Of labor
bureaus funds established for the benefit Of the
rural classes and workingmens associations of all
kinds. He considers the appellation Christian
Socialism" incorrect, and says Catholics who oc-
cupy themselves with social questions sometimes
also called Christian Democrats" But even this
qualification is attacked by people being i'll
sounding. DiYergenceS having arisen therefrom.
the Pope ardently desires to eliminate them A
careful distinction must be drawn between Social
ism and Christian Democracy. The first concerns
itself solely with material possessions always seek
ing 10 establish perfect equality and a common
holding of goods. Christian Democracy, the con-
trary, respects the principles of Divine law and
while seeking material amelioration has in view
the spiritual welfare of the people. Christian
Democracy. moreover. must not be confounded with
Political Democracy. for the first and ought to
subsist, does the Church herself under the most
varied political regimes. Christian Democracy
ought also TO respect the laws OF legitimate civil
authority. The appellation Christian Democracy.

The Memorial Arch,

The Memorial Arch Association has set
its limit of cost at a figure which will in
sure a commendable result without neces-
sarily entailing a long canvass for the
funds. With s1,5O0.OOO in hand it will be
possible to erect a monument to William
Mckinley in keeping with the purpose held
Ia view and the surroundings amidst which
the structure is to be placed, according to
present plans. Every indication points to a
vigorous, successful campaign for the arch
The central organization is excellent in per-
sonnel and form. The state forces are be-
ing organized with enthusiasm by men
whose names insure activity and persist
ence. The work of subdividing the appeal
to various classes of the people Is well in
hand and there Is every reason to expect
that within a short time the contributions
will be coming in at rate to insure early
success. This undertaking, however, must
not fail. Its very character bespeaks GER
tain accomplishment. There can be no fall
tering at any point in the line. 1t Is in
conceivable that when the appeal has once
been made to all the people of the country
the response will be otherwise than imme-
date, generous and sufficient.

where they are not Immediately menaced
by the flames themselves. BY the use of
large waterproof covers, stretched quickly
from ceiling to floor in stock rooms and
over tables laden with goods. the chances
of water damage are materially reduced.
The workers in these corps are trained in
the handling of their devices and are given
authority to take full charge of menaced
premises. In the case of private residences
where the quick removal of furniture Is
imperative to save it from loss, they super
intend the transfer to the street and there
guard 1t against theft or injury. Much
damage is done at such fires by the volun-
teer helpers, who rush impetuously into the
houses and tear loose whatever they lay
their hands upon, often wrecking goods
far more seriously than would either the
fire or the water. The policemen are usual
ly needed outside in the handling of the
crowds. The firemen have no time to care
for articles of furniture. The authorized
salvers in such an emergency could easily
save their companies many times the cost
of annual maintenance. Washington has
developed it's fire fighting service to high
point and it should now be supplemented
with some such organization, which, being
chiefly for the benefit of the insurance
companies, should be maintained by them,
though under degree Of official upper
vision.

The Fight Against Tammany.

The battle in New York between the
Tammany and reform forces closes to-
night. On the eve Of the election 1t Is ap-
parent that there Is more confidence on
the part Of the fusionists than among the
Tammanyites. The estimates given out
by the two sides, of course. clash In re-
suit, but 1t is noteworthy that those of the
Low managers range from extreme con-
servatism to the forecast of a sweeping
victory, indicating that, according to the
temperament of the estimator the fight
Will be close or else one-sided. On the
other hand, there are no claims OF a great
Tammany victory. The figures are eau
tiously advanced, and represent moderate
expectation of success. The bettors have
@avered considerably in giving or asking
odds during the campaign. having started
out at even money, with tendency to-
ward favoring Shepard. About the middle
of October. however, the Shepard hackers
began to ask for odds, which were given
at the rate of 10 to o and to 4, which
remained the prevailing disposition of the
books until the past few hours. when a
number of large bets were recorded at
even money.

seven years in the aggregation of counties

Costly Fun-Making.

It is somewhat difficult to estimate the
causes of such an outbreak as that of Sat
urday night at Buffalo, when on the formal
closing of the exposition crowds rioted in
the Midway with license and destructive
ness that necessitated police aid to restore
order and protect property. 1t was ap-
parently a ''rough-house' on great scale.
The American spirit does not naturally
trend toward such costly horse-play. Nor
is the average American a vandal by nat
ure, nor thief. Yet this is not the first
occasion of the kind when on some slight
pretext of excuse for playful rioting crowds
have burst the bounds of decency and law
fulness and enjoyed themselves at the cost
of others. In London this same disposition
appeared on Mafeking day. when the de-
tenders of that city returned to the capital.
The streets were filled with good-natured
rioters who, in the name Of patriotic en-
thusiasm, smashed hats and windows and
played the most expensive Of pranks,
seriously to the detriment of the law w-abid-
ing. So violent was the outburst that today
a new word has come into being in Eng
land, ito Mafeking,' which means to run
amuck in the name Of good fellowship
The London outbreak was naturally aug
mented by the doings of the roughs, who
are always present in numbers whenever
crowds gather, seeking chances to pick
pockets and to ply other nefarious trades
1t has even been suggested that the dis
orders of Mafeking Day were to be traced
originally to the antics of just this class.
deliberately seeking to upset the conven-
tions of good order for purposes of pillage.
Yet this spirit Of romping takes possession
of men far removed from the suspicion of
Illegal intent, as when the brokers on
change on certain occasions proceed to
rumple and bruise each other with the
utmost good nature out Of respect for an
cient traditions. Probably these outbursts
are due to the remnant of boyishness which
In most natures is never, quite squeezed out
by work and responsibility.

terest at this time. In 1894, Strong. republi-
can. beat Grant, Tammany. for mayor by
45.1S7. In 1896, Mckinley carried these
counties over Bryan by 81, ,420. In 1897. Van
Wyck was elected mayer by a plurality OF
79,05S over Seth Low. the nearest of his
opponents, although had the Low and
Tracy votes been combined Van Wyck
would have been defeated by about $4,000
In 1898 the counties went against Roose-
velt for governor by 81. 400, and in 1900 they
went for Bryan by %. 105. thus reversing
the verdict they gave for Mckinley four
years previous. 1t is to be seen from these
figures that the city of Greater New York
need not be now regarded as surely DEM
ocratic center, especially when municipal
issues are at stake. Indeed the past two
mayorality elections have demonstrated
that Tammany hall is in minority when
the votes are all out and counted. The
same conditions prevail in general now as
in 1897, when the split between Tracy and
Low permitted Tammany to win easily.
The fusion of the republicans and the Citi-
zens' Union is complete. and the combined
ticket has elements of unusual strength
On the other hand the Tammany ticket
contains two names certain to be badly cut
on personal grounds, Van Wyck for judge
and Fromme for president of the borough
of Manhattan
One of the most interesting questions of
this election relates to the fate of Jerome,
fusion candidate for district attorney, upon
whom the wrath of Tammany is centering
1t has been predicted that he would be
seriously scratched by organization republic
cans III revenge for his accusation, after
ward retracted. that Senator Platt had con-
spired to defeat him. 1t has also been as
serted that Tammany would trade off Shep-
ard to beat Jerome if the tide seemed to
set against the Hall. On the other hand.
some of the preliminary caHasses have in
dicated that Jerome will run far ahead Of

The result of this election is watched
with keen interest by the people Of other
cities, who are anxious to see how New
York will act in the face of SO excellent an
opportunity to cleanse it's municipal or
ganization and establish city government

Isl An.

The attempted assassination of Tsi An,
the Chinese empress dowager, may prove to
be sign of intense popular disapproval
of her reactOnary course, or it may be
only a sporadic case of crankism or indi-
yiduaI resentment. Unfortunately for the
sake of truth and history. the would-be
murderer was Immediately slain by the
guards and his motive for attempting the
life of the real ruler of China can never be
known. The assassination of Tsi An, while
removing her personally from the scene of
action, would not regenerate China. She
represents today the worst type of celestial
ruler-crafty, retrogressive. malignant. She
has through her own attitude brought on
much, if not most. of the troubles which
confront China today, not to mention the
painful, costly experiences of the foreign
powers. But she is only the type of the
dominant class. If she in fact inspired the
Boxer revolt of last year and connived at
the, demonstrations which the court per-
sisted in describing as riots by uncontrol-
liable forces, she was merely the center of
authority among large number of equally
reactionary officials and dignitares
A strong ruler, actuated by progressive
impulses. would have had a hard time to
prevent the wreck. But it has not been
written in China's program for many gen.
erations to have such hand at the helm
II will be difficult even now, with the for
eign prestige materially increased by the
events of the past few months, to ensure a
responsible government based upon progress

the anti-foreign sentiment which animates
the mass of the people and large number
of the ruling class. Tsi An will In the
course of time pass away. Should China
meanwhile be regenerated through the in
fusion Of wholesome ideas of government
into the ruling class from without her in
fuence for evil will have waned and she
will not be succeeded in responsible place
in all likelihood. by another of her present
kind. If, however, She should remain until
her end an aggressive force for retro
gression and seclusion, preserving her pres
tige as the power behind the throne it will
be because of the support given to her and
her principles by the forces which dominate
the imperial court. The course of advance
ment in China, as everywhere else in the
world, is through enlightenment not
through crime.

Hurrah in Campaigning.

This years campaigns, with the exception
of the one in New York city, have. upon the
whole been rather quietly conducted The
assassination of Mr. Mckinley had much TO
do with this. 1t not only threw camper
over the whole political situation, but Topped
off a full month from the usual campaign
ing period. In all the states, therefore,
where the parties are contending, ana par
ticularly in Ohio where the gloom naturally
has been greatest, the appeals to the people
have been devoid of excitement. As re-
suit the registration is light, and a vote OF
only moderate size is expected
New York furnishes the exception in the
practice and in the issue. The campaign
there has not been of political character.
The town has been profoundly stirred by
charges of the grossest and vilest misrule
on the part of Tammany Hall, and nom
partisan movement has asked for support
at the polls in the interest of publication
of the official life of the community. This
has explained and justified the energy ex-
hibited there, ana the enormous crowds
which have gathered to hear the speakers.
From Harlem to the Battery the public
halls have been jammed atsevery meeting,
and those orators who have spoken with
the greatest frankness, and with less re-
gard to stump eloquence than to everyday
effect have been cheered to the echo. Even
Mr.. Depew has felt encouraged under con-
ditions so inspiring to change his usual tone
of banter and his rhetorical flourish for
methods more sober and unornamental.
1t will be interesting to note on Wednes-
day therefore what all of this feeling and
all of this enthusiasm have meant. Have
the crowds come out simply to hear? Have
they been attracted more by the sensational
nature OF the issues and the candor en-
ployed in meeting them than by desire to
know the whole truth and determination
to help redress the city's wrongs? Has
all of the cheering been but the idle noise
of idle men? Would a circus have drawn
the same crowds? Will the vote show that
the laundering before election meant moth
ing at the polling booths? Is the most
vigorous and deserved denunciation of Tam
many Hall ever heard on Manhattan Is
land to be followed by Tammany triumph
at the polls?
Hurrah in campaign is often mislead-
ing feature. Mr.. Blaine discovered that in
his race for the presidency, and Mr.. Bryan
twice proved that a great difference some
times exists between yociferation and vot-
ing. If his capacity as vote getter equaled
his capacity as an entertainer of crowds he
would be the most powerful personality in
politics. But let us hope that this hurrah
in New York means something; that the
people will vote they shout. and that
campaign waged in the interests of munich
pal honesty and decency may win.
