The Blight of Socialism in Australia.

According to the Globe, the steadily | increasing number of departures from
 New South Wales and Victoria for
 Canada, South Africa, and even
 Great Britain, is beginning to awaken
 alarm in the commonwealth.
 During the first six months of the
 present year according to official re- ports. no fewer than 16327 persons left
 New South Wales alone for ports out
 side the commonwealth the emigra- tion exceeding the immigration ZIG.
 In addition. there has been Q large in- , fiux of New South Wales and Victoria
 population into Western Australia.
 This is one of the immediate effects of socialist labor legislation in the mo- ther state and Victoria. The people birds of passage. They are mostly a class who have been born or long set | tied in Australia, many being steady. competent tradesmen: not a few be- , long to the ranks of master craftsmen.
 others being pastorialists, farmers, sta tlCn hands-in fact the very men in which the commonwealth stands in most need.
 Scarcely any are trade unionlsts. The non-unionists, under the new order Of things, has no place in Australia The New South Wales industrial arbitration court and the Victorian wage boards each refuses to recognize his exisfanco He must either join a trade union or starve. And this is a land capable of supporting the whole Of the European population several times over.

Christmas Stories.

The average reader will agree with us, we think, that the Christmas stories in our magazines are generally of the very middling sort. Most of them be- tray lack of originality and imagina- ton, and some of the high priced mag azines bring a collection of Christ mas literature which is really inferior to what is furnished by the cheaper and less pretantious periodicals. Through out, perhaps the most striking feature is the absence of genuine humol. On the whole, however, a reading of the cur rent Christmas literature is not likely to give one the blues.
 But rot even this much is to be said for the English publications. A writer in the New York Tribune has gone to the trouble of wading through mass of the Christmas stories printed this year in London, and he gives a dolefu account of his discoveries. Positively grotesque gloom" is the prevailing spirit we are told. and If the several stories which he has summarized are typical, his conclusions cannot be dis puted
 Thus, one story treats of man and his wife, living in the middle of a vast prairie. The husband absents himself for a day or two, in winter. having left his wife alone with money in the house that he holds in trust. He makes her swear before he leaves that she will adrnit no one while he is away She breaks her oath, out of pity for q wounded soldier, who seeks shelter from the snow; in the night they hear some one stealthily breaking in, as the burglar enters the woman shocts him dead, and, when the mask is torn from his face she sees that she has killed her husband. In another story. two men in the Klondike toss up to see who shall take q holiday and go back. for a time, to civilization The win her agrees to bring with hin. on his return. the sweetheart Of his friend. so that they can be married without much further delay.
