aoDEHS SOCIALISM.
One sweet Dream ofLAsy Life aud Pleas

The Tribune, by an effort, has
restrained itself from discussing
Socialism because 1t always. seemed
to be properly post-mortem question
In which mighty few of the present
generation would be in the least con
eerDed. We notice. though, that a
disciple Of this heavenly creed is about
TO hold forth in Silver City and We
are moved. A brief but comprehen-
sive definition Of Socialism Is, The
Reconstruction of Human Nature by
Act Of Congress. II contempIates
the extinction Of selfishness. thrift
lessness and laziness: IL wipes ont
individual endeaVor and individual
responsibility; 1t destroys social.
political and economic distinctions /;
overcomes natural idiosyncraeies and
acquired peeuliarities, and reduces
mankind to a smooth, oleaginous.
homogeneous paste. The life il aims
TO establish will flow on in one con
tinuous sweep Of unruffied monotony.
There will be no debts 90 pay. no bills
TO collect; no hills TO climb. no
declivities 70 slide down. When a
child Is born the government at
Washington, ID. c., enters him up for
