Wright, United States com- Brunet Debsines. missioner of labor, gave the second lecture in im the free course at the chapel of All Souls’ - church last evening on the subject of “Com- ‘4 VOICE FROM THE | nonism in History.” Ina preliminary way the CLIFF," speaker said it was not his province to discuss socialism as it held the public mind at the pres- ent time, but simply to give the definitions of communism, the apparent philosophy of social- ism, nationalism and kindred theories and prac- tices, and also to show the most brilliant efforts in history to establish a communistic state. WHAT I8 COMMUNISM? He said that communism is a philosophy be- longing chiefly to the domain of property, for as the idea of individual property grew out of common ownership or community of goods so communism seeks to drive property back into that anarchial state from which it emerged. Modern writers are quite well agreed that the idea of separate individual ownership is a growth of comparatively recent date and is the result of great social changes and of progressive development extending over vast epochs of time, Among the Aryan nations in Central Asia, 2,000 years probably before Christ, the earliest form of property was that of com- munistic groups of rsons acknowledging a common kindred and possessing a common re- ligious worship. ‘Che tribes led by Moses dur- ing the forty years’ wandering were fully com- munistic in their ideas and practices regarding property. Following this community of prop- erty came property vested in the family. Whether this grew out of the community idea or spraug up on an independent basis it is im- possible to determine. itis certain, however, that in th liest stages of the Roman state, and in the corresponding periods of the Grecian cisies, property was considered asa right be- longing to the family in its collective capacity, By gradual changes in personal wants and de- sires and in social customs, by the growth of trade and by all the other influences which have tended to elevate the individual the notion of private property has been developed and finally become firmly established as one of the foundation stones upon which the struc- ture of modern society is erected. POLITICAL COMMUNISM is born of the pernicious sentiment that the world owes every man a living. Religious communism is born of the principle which un- derlies the injunction, “Bear ye one another's burdens.” The firstis that which secks to hold all property in common, to wrest from skill, toil and thrift the products of skill, toil and | thrift, and share equally with those who are unskiliful, indolent and unthrifty. ‘This kind ofcommunism is in itself destructive in the state. The second is that which secks the est good of the greatest number by Christian co-operation, protection, love, which is the embodiment of the divine rule, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This is in itself | coustructive in the state and means our growth, our civilization, our Christianity. In the mod- ern sense, Communism means the destruction of labor, for it robs it of all motive and incentive and of all results; in fact, it dehumanizes the race, By Winslow Homer. “THE EVENING BREEZE," Mowbray. “THE ROSE OF ALL THE ROSES,” by Alms Tadems and others. the fluest publications and best impressions.

As the institution of the commune of the Middle Ages broke the chain of feudalism 80 the revolution broke the remnants of feudal- ism lingering in the nobility and the clergy. Equality and liberty—these two words sum up the whole revolution, says Lamartine. There were deplorable excesses, but the excesses were not the revolution; they were the com- mune. Their emancipation was to them an in- toxication of gladness, an exultation of hu- manity which induced France to embrace the whole world in her ardent patriotism. Drank with liberty, crazed with equality, the people could not remain under the aidange of men like Lafayette and irabeau, who desired to have the revolution conform to the American type. Led away by the fervid and vague deciamations of those whose only idea of civil freedom was the absence of all restraint, the people broke snc- cessively through all the ties of organized soci- ety, morality, religion and even of common humanity. Passing from the reign of terror to later days the lecturer briefly reviewed the history of French communism during the first half of the present century until it finally worked ontits own rain. He then turned his attention to AMERICAN COMMUNISM, which, he said, presents a strong and pleasing contrast to the French article. Without going into its detailed history, it is sufficient to say that it has so far been based on a religious foundation. It came with Robert Owen, a wealthy English manufacturer, in 1823, when he founded at his own CS eet a communist society at New Harmony, Ind. There were a few years ago not less than 72 communes in the United States, numbering over 5,000 persons and Possessing 8 capital of over $12.000.000. They all have as their bond of union some form of religions belief, and their members are usually Chistians, ak all believe in owning Property incommon. and some in the community of wives, although the Shakers are celibates in principle. They have all been founded to remedy the wrongs of society, and, while they have flourished in‘ material point of view, it is because the world is not communistic, and they traffic with the world. These American experiments have been peaceful, and have done no perceptible harm. The members are working out a problem, the solution of which must be looked for by all honest-minded men— how can poverty be removed? The history, ex- perience, customs and habits of these Am can communes furnish interesting material f¢ a large volume, but the limits of an address preclude their more specitic consideration. CONCLUSIONS. GLADSTONE ON LIVE ISSUES. He Speaks of the American Navy and Denounces the Parnell Commission. Mr. Gladstone delivered an address at Chester last night, Referring to the United States and the plans for an enlarged navy he said that this country is still enjoying the blessings and comforts of a restricted trade and therefore would pay 40 or 50 per cent more to build a navy than it would if contented to com- pete on equal terms with other nations. But its resources are so great that it can afford to pay for the luxury of protection. The worst was that while America would cite England's example for enlarging her navy England will give a similar excuse for further naval increase, It is a matter of deep sorrow to reflect that the very ostentatious addition to the defenses of a country made under a real or pretended neces- sity is made an apology for an increase of the burdens of every other country, Under pro- feasion of an additional security the policy of governments thus tended more and more to jeopardize the peace of the world, Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said the country would be likely soon to hear much abont the Parnell commission, Without anticipating the judgment or breathing a word of suspicion of the judges, he would say the subject must be probed with the deepest attention of the country and of parliament, His opinion was that the cumbrous proceedings constituted a case of oppression practiced upon an individ- ual by a legislative chamber and an executive government without a parallel since the evil times of the reign of Charles IL He recommended Scotland's unvarying sup- post of liberahsm. If Scotland demanded ome rule neither tories nor dissident liberals would blow the war trumpets against it in the hame either of the union or the integrity of the empire, Scotland had a good claim to home rule, because the tory majority assisted a handful of Scotch members to outvote the Scotch majority, The conflict for home rule is a territic struggle of powerful influence on one side against conviction on the other side, It is the Principle of liberalism to trust the people, qualified by prudence; it is the prin- ciple of toryism to distrust the people, quali- fied by fear. He was confident of the ultimate judgment of the country. If ready to meet dissolution, but without impatience for it, it was because he felt strongly the justice of the cause and knew it must triumph, Mr. Gladstone declined to criticise the course of the marquis of Salisbury in the dis- To what conclusions do all the various ex- periments we have cited lead us? The fatality of communism is that it leads to evils a thous- and times more devilish than those it seeks to remedy. Its antiquity is, as wo have seen, the antiquity of the human race, and the opponents of it usually fear to refer to its antiqnity, but, o me, this is the great argument against it, for it proves that itis but national infancy, and that to adopt it is to go back to the time when civilization was born, for it is but the feeble ery of the infant. It is not even the creeping ago of civilization. It is extreme democracy, or democracy gone to seed, for it demands not only all laws to be made by the people in their aggregate capacity but the control of all prop- erty interests by the same power. Bairiiecnnti, PLOT TO BEAT ALLISON. Iowa Democrats Scheming to Unseat Sixteen Republicans. Des Moines Special to Philadelphia Press, The most sensational scene that has ever oc- curred in the Iowa legislature took place in the house yesterday, when the republicans exposed the democratic motive for the dead-lock. It had been rumored that the democrats would try to unseat members if given a chance and then proceed to elect a democratic Senator in place of Senator Allison, repeal prohibition, and carry things with a high hand through the session. The republican members all come from districts that the democrats claim are un- constitutional, not having, it is alleged, the requisite ratio of population. The democrats have ridiculed the idea that any such echeme was intended, but the republicans discovered that this argument of unconstitutionality was being used in the petition prepared by Mr. Lehnian, the democratic candidate for tempo- rary clerk, in the contest for one of the repub- lican seats, in which contest he appears as attorney for one of the contestants, The republicans therefore determined to force the democrats to show their band today. So, in carefully prepared speeches, they at- tacked the democratic position and boldly as- serted that it was the democrat tention, if given the speakership, to carry out this revo- jutionary proceeding. There was great excite- ment on both sides of the house and the repub- licans provoked the democrats till one of them, Hotchkiss of Davis county, walked into the trap and boldly announced that he did not be- lieve that any member elected for the gerry- mandered districts should be seated. The re- publicans then said that there could be no more conference between them on any arrange- ment looking to give the democrats the speaker- ship, for they knew it would be used i a revo- lutionary way. Hotchkiss quickly replied that if he were speaker he wouid agree to leave the roll as it is, CAUGHT IN A TRAP. “Will you put that in writing?” republicans, “Yes, I will,” he answered. “Will your colleagues also stand by it?” was the next question. “Yes, they will,” cried Hotchkiss, ‘‘andI call upon them all to rise and show that they in- tend no trickery.” ‘Then turning toward the democrats he shouted: “Stand up, gentlemen,” but not a man arose. Your silence confirms my charge,” said Mr. Blythe, the republican leader, while the specta- tors and republicans cheered to the echo. Hotchkiss wasa greeubacker wo was elected by fusion with the democrats, but he had not been taken into the democrats’ secret and un- intentionally placed them in a position where they dare not affirm and could not deny, The democratic plot to unseat sixteen mem- bers is the talk of the state, and the republi- cans are determined now to resist any over- tures that would give the democrats au oppor- tunity to carry out that plot. 808 shouted the SEEKING “JACK THE RIPPER.” Hew English Detectives Board Cattle Steamers In Search of the Murderer. First Officer Matthews of the cattle steamer Borderer, which has just arrived in Boston, gives the following account of the manner in which Scotland Yard detectives are hunting for “Jack the Ripper,” under the supposition that the murderer is a cattle man: “The detectives have such an arrangement over there that they know nearly every one of the men who go over on our steamers, Ifaman isn’t known he is carefully questioned and if there is anything suspicious about him they have him shadowed during his stay in the city. Detective Reagan boards every London-bound steamer carrying cattle at Gravesend, the first point where it would be possible for any one to land. Thore he talks with the cattle men about their busi- ness in London and what they propose doing while in the city, and accompanies them ashore, “The work done by the ‘Ripper’ seemed to show that he had experience in butchery, and as the crimes were aie coincident with the arrival of cattle boats it seemed probabie that a cattle man from a foreign shore had been the assussin,” ———coe_—_____ Ten Souls With a Single Thought. A remarkable quintuple wedding took place at St. Alphonso’s Catholic Church in Davies county, Ky., yesterday morning. The couples were: W. . Hall and Miss Sarah Robinson, G. T.

All the young | people are Catholics and live on farms in | Davies county, They are intimate friends, | The Masses Bianford are sisters. The parish j yet Father W. P.

There were ushers but no bridesmaids, All took their station be- fore the altar, and after an unusually long and impressive ceremony, Father McCarthy cele- brated nuptial high mass and blessed the kneel- ing couples. The young busbands and wives afterward were given a reception, and then in the simple country went to re- spective homes, pecs SP en tO HE WASHINGTON ARCHITECTUKAL IRON T AND BRIDGE WORKS. EDWARD L.

A High-Born Russian Shoots a Pretty Girl Who Refused Him. Mary Petrikovsky, a handsome young Russian girl, was cruelly murdered yesterday in New| G York by her lover, Michael Popoff. Popotf | ¥ comes of a wealthy family of high standing in | Moscow, Russia. His parents died two years | ago, leaving him the heir of large estates. He became a spendthrift and squandered most of his fortune. He belonged to the Russian army and six months ago he deserted and fied across | the Russian border in disguise and came to this | country. Between three and four months ago he be- came @ boarder in the family of J. M. Petri- kovsky, a brother of the girl he murdered, Miss Petrikovsky frequently visited the house and Popoff fell in love with her, The girl disliked him on account of his lazy and shift- less habits, and when he asked her to marry him she refused. Yesterday the girl visited the house and Popoff came in from his room with a nine-chambered Russian revolver in his hand. He drove the rest of the family from the room at the point of the weapon and then shot the girl in the head, intlctiug a wound which caused almost instant death, A police- man was called in and arrested the murderer, who, it is believed, meant to kill himself also, but lacked the courage. The murdered girl | was nincteen years of age, and is the daughter | of Marcus Petrikovaky. a linguist, She was ex- ceedingly pretty and well educated, The mur- derer is twenty-three years old and a good-look- ing fellow of military bearing. a -eoo— Bly Likely to Beat Bisland.

Montana's legislature, be- ing unorganized, can make no appropriations, and this may save the state treasury from hope- less wreck.

Meer no. — Saar ComneangLt rr Hta Ui AEP ERQBESSIONAL FINE WORK 4 SPECIALTY. wt THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER | OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WERK. It prints ALL THE /S, Local, Domestic aud Foreign, ‘ ADVANCE OF THE MORN- | ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs, THE STAR bas a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- Sand SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTL FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itts therefore able to print each day a full Feport of every transaction of public tn Serest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIs- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Kurope, Asia, aud Africa for the morning papers. Equally does THE STAK lead all ite contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its owa office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, towa and hamlet in the Unitea States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print | atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Auuntic and Pas citic Oceans. SF NOTE THE RESULT: 2 semasioigietiaan: THE STAR HAS MORE THAR THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGEIHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrous, ITS ADVER- _ TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. —0: — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE { STAK does not rely upon empty boasts toimprese the public. ITS CIRCULA=- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —o:— ® The esteem in which THE STAN is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively showa by the Gige 'N | ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average dally cir oulation of the paper was: In 1885. “ 1886. “ 1887... “1888. Equally significant is the showing tn regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication Of its acknowledged value as o medium of publicity. Thenumber of NEW AD- VERTISEMENTS printed in the col- umue of The Star during the first six months of the years named was as fole lows: In 1885.. ~ 1886. ~ 1887.
