Tondon. oct. 5-Socialism has become cloud
larger than a mans hand. The independent
lahcr partv with the social democratic teueTa-
ton behind it, has organized a campaign
throughout the kingdom and will start opera

Parliament will address meetings al great

old age pensions, work for the unemployed and
state ownership of railways viii be distributed
This general muster for a single field day will
be followed by a systematic canvass for social
reform during the autumn and winter. The
labor leaders are appealing for a campaign fund
for the payment of the expenses Of agitators'
speakers and organizers
This formidable demonstration OF activity is
directed. by half a dozen labor members who

The defensive measures against aggressive

Lord Balfour Of Burleigh has sounded an
emphatic warning against the growth of polit-

practical measures for fighting it. These range
from tariff revision and a broader basis Of tax

preston Of socialist meetings and the arrest Of
the agitators- Meanwhile. influential bodies like
the Church congress at Yarmouth have shown
that the public conscience is concerned with
the pathos Of poverty rather than the menace
offered To the rights Of property. and President
Roosevelts speeches are accepted as evidence
that the modern world is confronted with serious
problems which cannot be evaded by shallow
partisanship, but must be worked out coura-
geously. I. y. F.

SOCIALIST SESSION.
u. BRAND Separates Himself from
"HerU6iSm.
Especial by French Gable to The Tribune


Paris, Oct 5.--The political sensation of the
hour is the decided step which NJ. BRAND, Min
lister of Public Instruction. has taken in freeing
himself finally from all further association with
that section Of the unified Socialists which
shares the military and anti patriotic ideas
of NJ. Gustave Herve. This completes the
scission between the advanced radical group
from which the members of the Cabinet were
chiefly drawn. and the collectivist Socialists,
whose leader in the Chamber is NJ. Jaures. For
some months past NJ Jaures has been sitting on
the gate, hestating whether throw in his lot
with the anti -militarists or with the less
compromising internatonalists. who still cher
ish old-fashoned affection and some political
preferences for their own country NJ. JaureS,
however, the threat of expulsion from the
unified Socialist party, which is tyrannized over
by the terrible Jules Guesde. inheritor of the
mantle of Karl Marx, was compelled to disguise
his own finer instincts and to chant in chorus
with Gustaye Herve. the anti-patriotic anthem
with which the anti-mtarists seek to excite
young soldiers to rebel against regimental dis
Cipline. and which contains recommendation to
plant the flag upon the dungheap.
However much this excessive internationasm
may be in accordance with the strict doctrine
of coilectivist Socialism and Improvement, from
a theoretical point Of view, the more human
conceptions of Herr Bebel and German Socialists,
it is certain that the great mass of Frenchmen.
whether Conservatives or Radicals or professed
Socialists are absolutely opposed to it. NJ.
BRAND. whose fortunes were made upon the Col
lectvist Socialist ticket clearly recognizes this.
and his breach with his old friends. his indig-
nant and eloquent reputation of what is begin
ming to be known as "IIervGism," the brusque
gesture with which he has wiped off from his
political coat the last traces Of the old anti
patriotic Socialist mud are the additional proofs
of that remarkable foresight and keen percep-
tion of the real trend of public sympathies which
have already distinguished him in his ministerial
career
NJ. BRAND is now looked upon here by expert
enced observers of the parliamentary gate as
the coming man. He has the youthful buoyancy
and elasticity which are beginning to fail VI.

FRENCH POLICE SERVICE.
Demand for Reorganization, as 1t
Is Inadequate.
Especial by French Gable TO The Tribune.l


Paris. Oct. 5--The extraordinary increase in
the last two or three years in the statistics Of
crime especially of crimes of violence, has raised
a universal demand throughout the country for
the complete reorganization of the police service
that in Paris is notoricusly inadequate and in
the provinces is infinitely worse. NJ. Hennion
director of the criminal department at the Min
istry Of the Interior is now in Marseilles max
ing a thorough investigation Of the conditions
there for the purpose of offering a remedy for
the present scandaIous situation. which makes
the streets of MarsenIes absolutely unsafe to
unarmed foot passengers, whether by day or
night
II. Lepine, Prefect Of Police is energetlcally
endeavoring to solve the same problem in Paris,
but the funds at his disposal being far too small
practical results are so far visible, and the
Bois de Boulogne, and even the boulevards after
nightfaIl and even in the daytime are filed with
dangerous characters, so that the Partisan who
adores open air life has all this summer been
robbed in a great measure of his evening and
early morning strolls.
Large towns such Tours and lie Mans
have also become exceedingly dangerous owing
to the practice of the French criminal courts
Of forbddng q sojourn in the capital to old
offenders. Many of the worst ruff1ans in Paris
are thus constrained to transfer the field Of
their operations to provincial towns, which
from being quiet humdrum centres of rustic or
industrial Il. have now become hotbeds Of burg
larry and assassination.
An American gentleman, who has a country
house at st. Symphorien, Tours, tells me
so great is the alarm felt throughout the entire
countryside that all the inhabitants. in defiance
of the law. go about armed to the teeth. and
this on the advice of their own Mayor, while the
pedlers who formerly sold ribbons and cotton
n do larp de In
volvers. The result of the poll of public opinion
on this burning question opened by a Paris
paper is a consensus of approval in favor of
the introduction Of corporal punishment for
crimes Of violence and the retention of the
guiIlotine. G. l. B.
