arrange his hours of work fix his pay, des- ignats the house in which he should live and. in short, prescribe his method ana mode of life in every detail. All mines mills, factories, farms, railways. and every factor in commercial, agricultural and in- dustrial development would become common property, and amusements, concerts and games would be decided upon by vote of the majority and supported from the com mon fund.
 Bin Wye once said that "a communist ceasss to be oommunist as soon as he owns . house and lot" The definition ap- plies pretty accurately to the socialist. aI- though 1t is . fact that many men of means have been attracted by the teachings of the theories. It Is not difficult to understand out Q home. without ambition to improve his condition by individual effort, would well come the Socialist regime. but there is noth- ing in it that appeals to the American spirit of Independence. nothing that satisfies tho desire of every young man worthy of the name to meet and overcome obstacles and make a place and name for himself in the world by his own honest. earnest endeavor. The doctrine is emphaticaliy un-Anerican. and it is difficult to understand what .ae conditions are which furnish an inspiration for the development and growth of the movement, as shown by the increased vote for Debs. Whatever the cause, the big po- litical parties must recognize Socialism as political factor and make their plans for overcoming the menace to American institu- tions which will follow its further growth.

TAKING ON COAL AT SEA.
Difficulties once Insurmountable Have
 at Last Been Overcome.

Large quantities of coal have been carried to sea to replenish the bunkers of the Russian war fleet on US way to the orient. The comparatively new expedients for coaling steamships at sea will have the most thorough tests yet given to them. The results Of ex- periments with the transfer of coal Tn seas not too rough seem to have placed the work on a practical basis. Ever since Admiral Seymour succeeded In coaling the British naval fleet in the Mediterranean during the short cam paign of 1882 against Egypt the prob lem has been regarded as needing only better appliances for its full solution.
 No nation has since been compelled in the stress of war times to develop a system of sea-coaling, though in 1SSS, in the late war with Spain, the United States navy occasionally coaled at sea. but while the large fleet lay off Santia- go for many weeks it made a coal depot at Guantanamo Bay. to which vessels were sent for renewal of supplies.
 In the early days of experimentation 1t was thought that to coal successful ly the colliers and warshlps must seek the quiter waters inshore, outside of the three-miIe limit, but with the ap- pliances and methods since invented vessels have been coaled far out at sea and in stiff winds if the water surface were not too tumultuous. The Rus sians themselves have been prominent In these experiments and a series Of pictures published last spring showed the lbattleship Retvizan coaling while under way.
 The method now used is to have the collier in two of the steamer to be coaled. An overhead cable extends from the aftmast of the warship to the foremast of the collier and on the cable Is a traveller provided with hooks for carrying buckets of coal. The full buckets are sent over to the warship and returned empty.
 In this way from thirty-five to forty tons of coal have been transferred to the hold of warship in an hour while the vessel was steaming at the rate of ten or eleven knots. With sufficient number of colliers the Russians are not likely to suffer for lack of steam power on their long Journey to the other side of the world.

Dangers of Debsism.


 Leaders of both the big political parties are forced to admit that the growth or socialism in this codntry can longer be safely ignored Returns from the last election show that Eugene V Dehs. the candidate of the Socialist organization for President received more than 6oo,OOo votes. as compared with s7.O00 cast for him in 1900. The numerical strength of the or ganization is now such that it can no longer be treated as a political fad. The party can not be ignored with safety to the country.
 Socialist leaders are not modest in assert 7g that the reason their party has not
 own more rapidly is that the common ,eople of the country. the farmers and the working classes are not sufficiently edu- cated to appreciate the beauties of Social ism. It is difficult to see how the doctrine of these leaders can appeal to even as large a number of citizens as are already enrolled under the Dehs banner. The so- cialists would, according to the teachings of their leaders. abolish wealth and gdistrIbuts all funds In fairly equal proportions among the people. They would apportion employ ment assigning each individual his stunt

THE CONDITIONS IN DELAWARE

THE CONDITIONS IN DELAWARE.
 From time to time something appears in the papers about the debauchery of Delaware. but only part of the truth gets to the public. It is so much worse than Is generally known that the wonder is that the good people of the State can put up with it. Recently we saw in The Philadelphia Record a letter from a Presbyterian minister re- siding in Wilmington which gives some Idea of the condition and feeling there. Among other things. MT. EIwood tells of being in the lower part of the State <on election day when two reputable and prominent citizens told him that on coming out of the election booths they were met by a squad of negroes who laughed in their faces, and one Of them said: Your votes don't count. We run this State"
 It is not to be wondered at that one of these men said to MT. Elwood: If only the votes Of niggers and heelers count in this State (and this election seems to prove it) then it is high time for all decent citizens, for the safety of our homes and the State. to organize and secure a change, peacefully, if possible, forcibly if necessary" Neither is it strange that the Reverend gentle man. knowing the conditions, added A hearty Amen" to the intimation that force might be needed to redeem the State from the rule of ignorance and corruption.
 This is the State that has so long been virtually manipulated by the Ad- dicks-Allee combination, with the en- couragment and active assistance of Theodore Roosevelt. President of the United States. As we said, only part of the truth gets to the public, and MT. Elwood declares that mot the half has been told" concerning the corrup- tion. degredation and political de- bauchery of that State, With the pos- sibIe exception of Pennsylvania it Is politically the most thoroughly corrupt State in the Union. There are some good and honest Republicans there, but they are powerless. and the Democrats are not able to redeem the State, or else they are not of the right material to do it. It is not by any means a creditabIe condition of affairs, to say the best of it.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
STORMS FOR AWHILE INTERFERE
 WITH BUSINESS.
Resumpticn of Wire Ccmmunicatfon Followed Immediately by Recov- ery-A Large Jobbing Distri-
 button of Holiday
 G0Oda.

New York, Nov 1s.--R. G. Dun and Company's weekly trade review of Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Business was retarded by the storms which interrupted telegraphic commit nication, but the loss was quickly re- covered and retail trade responded to the lower temperature, while large jobbing distribution of holiday goods occurred. Fall River mills were reop- ened. but the operatives did not return in sufficient numbers to keep the ma ohinery active. and there is still dif- ficulty regarding the water supply in the Connellsville coke region, which handicaps the blast furnaces. Other commercial reports are encouraging and on the wohle conditions steadily improve Confidence is Increasing. particularly in the steel and textile industries. and operations are very vigorous for the season. while mercan- tile collections are more prompt Farm staples are lightly cheaper in re- sponse to splendid news from agricul- tura1 centres, and several freight blockades have delayed the delivery of grains and merchandise. Railway ear- ings thus far reported for November are S.6 per cent larger than last year.
 Foreign trade is exceeding the most SdnEuAnS expectations. OIiCldl TS- turns for October make the value of exports s162,57o,393. exceeding every month on record. with the exception of October 1900.
 From the highest forms of machin- cry and other finished steel products down to scrap and pig iron there is evidence of a better demand and an upward tendency in quotations.
 As the packer hide market is close ly cleaned up and many varieties sold for distant delivery. there is a ten- dency toward higher prices despite the lessened activity. This strength is re- flected in leather. New England shoe factories have large contracts on hand for spring delivery. Progress in cot ton goods is still very slow. but buy ars are gradually exhibiting little more disposition to provide for the futures.
 Failures this week numbered PIT in the United States against 24s last year and 27 in Canada. against 17 a year ago.

YEAST USED BY ANcIENTs.
Germs Found in the Air Utilized tG
 Leayen the Bread.

Leaven the Bread.
 The yeast employed by the ancients in making bread was probably of the same kind as the Israelites of the days of the great Pharaoh the oppressor used, calling it Heaven" This was what Is known nowadays as a wild yeast It's germs or spores being afioat everywhere in the air.
 A bit of dough was preserved out of each batch prepared for the ovens. and when this was added to the next dough the yeast contained in 1t quickly spread through the whole, only little being required to Heaven the whole lump" But when the people of Israel were wandering in the wilderness they did not always have yeast handy, and so were obliged to eat unleavened bread.
 The best examples of old Roman bread have been found at Pompeii, a town that was destroyed by an erup- ton of Vesuvius in the year 7s A. D., Forty-eight loaves were dug out of one bakeshop. These specimens markedly resembled those found In the Egyptian tombs and were originally composed of ground barley.
 The ancient cliff dwellers of the southwest raised Indian corn and made their bread of it. Once ina while a loaf of it is discovered in one of their deserted houses, and speculation is naturally indulged as to the degree of its antiquity. Perhaps 1t is 800 or 500 years old. In that extremely dry climate it has not decayed.

Rrad.treet,. Review.


 New York, Nov. 1S.--Bradstreet's tomorrow win say:
 Reports from the great basic indus tries are more favorable and whole sale and jobing trade in holiday and spring goods displays a more confi- dent tone. Interior buyers appear more willing to stock up and are meet ing with fair success. despite the fact that unreasonable weather. activity in fall farm work and in small farm work and some holding back by, farm CTS retard retail trade and collections in the west and northwest.
 Cold weather at the east and sea- sonable conditions at the south induce better reports as to final distribution from those sections. Trade generally Is showing gains over corresponding periods a year ago. Money displays remarkable ease, crop moving necessi- ties are about satisfied and a return flow from the country is apparently in sight. Railway earnings show a tendency to swell earnings for the year to totals above those of 1903. Dry weather for winter wheat is a flaw in the outlook, but may be yet repaired. The coal trade is improving, Iron and steel are active and buoyant in price. and cotton textiles, long he's itant. display more life. Raw wool is higher on the week, available sup plies being closely curtailed. This tends to unsettle the market for mems wear material. There mas been a ma- terial improvement in jobing distribu- tion since the election.
 Leather and it's allied products arc strong, the tendency of prices is up- ward and the only doubt expressed is whether shoe manufacturers can suc- ceed in getting the higher prices rem dered necessary by the advance in the raw material
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending November IT, number 190, against 1S4 last week and 234 in the like week in 1903. In Canada failures for the week number 24, as against 25 last week and 16 in this week a year ago.
