A declaration was read on the occasion, showing forth the power and fume of Russia, and the chict’s present at the durbar applanded it. The Ameer closed the proceedings by telling the chiefs to return to their posts and vharpen their swords to meet the enemy of their country. SEVERE FIGHTING AHEAD, The Stendard’s despatch from Thull says the At- ghans have got their guns up the Peiwar Paes and to have established a battery on the summit. The Afghan troops swarm on the ridges md crags, ‘Three regiments failed to turn the enemy's position on Satnrduy aud retired on dis- covering his strength. One man was killed and twelve wounded. The withdrawal of a battery and of the camp of the remainder of the force: was tendered necessary by the accuracy of the Afghan artillery fire. The British will attack the pass on Monday, after the troops have hada day's rest. They sre contident of a good result, although the pass is 7,000 fect high. Tho fighting will certainly be severe. A despatch to the Staadard from, Sukhar sayé:+“The news from the Quettah column is dis- couraging. In consequence of the loss of camels it is universally believed that the advance on (andabar will, be delayed until spring.’ A despatch to the Daily News from Peshawur, Saturday night, saya:—“General Appleyard, who was sent to clear the Khyber Pues, has been heavily angaged.

ANGLO-RUSSLAM COBBESPONDENCB, The officisl correspondence between England and Russia relative to Central Asia is published :— M. von Giers, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, bu July 3, 1878, informed Loni Augustus Loftus, the British Ambassador at St, Petersburg, that neither the Russian government nor General Kaufmann had ever seut or intended to send a representative to Cabul, He subsequently said it was possible General Kaufmann might have senta letter, and he gave as- surance of the stoppage of all the military and politi- cal precautions which were taken agaiast England when her relations with Russia were strained. On August 19, Lord Salisbury being informed of the approach of Russian forces to the frontier of Af- ghanistan, and of the reception of a Russian mission by the Ameer, expressed the hope that the mission would be immediately recalled, Russia, in the course of the communications in St. Petersburg, de- clared that the Minister of Foreign Affeirs was igno- rant of the mission, which had been sent by General Kaufmann on bis own responsibility. England re- plied, that even if so the Minister of Foreign Affairs was responsible, M. Von Giers writes, under date of September 9, Saat the Russian dispositions in Central Asia had been effected by the relations between Knglend and Russia during the late Eastern crisis, but that those disponi- tions are now the same as formerly, and not of a na- tare to excite the suspicions of England. The mis- sion to Cabul was merely # provisional one of courtesy. ‘The Russian representative’ dt London expisined that there had never been any question of the Caar aending a letter to the Ameer, Lord Salisbury writes to Lord Cranbrook on Sep- tember 20 that he infers that M. Von Giers acknowl- edges that all the former Russian assurances in regard to Afghanistan have recovered their validity, The correspondence also contains a despatch from Lord Derby, dated June 13, 1877, warning Russis that an advance to Merv would entail a corresponding ad- ‘vanes on the part of Great Britain. “THE REVOLT" IN AUSTRIA, While Premier Tisza, of Hungary, was speaking at aclub of the liberal party in Perth, last night, » bomb was exploded on the staircase. No one was in- jured. Count Andrasay, in his speech before the Budget Committee on Saturday, explained that the continuance of anarchy in Bosnia and Herzegovina would have entailed the interference .of Sorvia and Montenegro aud the ultimate loss of Dalmatia to Austria, The Berlin Congress, by entrusting the occupation of the Provinces to Austria, had pro- claimed that a powerful Austria was a European necessity. In the Budget Committee of the Austrian delegation yesterday Count Andrassy, replying to questions, said the occupation of Bosnia and Herze- ovina would cease when its object was accomplished and when Turkey had reimbursed the outlay which was incurred and guaranteed the future orderly gov- erninent of the provinces. Austria's mission could only be altered by the unanimous decision of the Powers, The committee thereupon adopted the esti- mates of the Foreign Office, thus closing the conflict between the government and the delegation. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Prince Lobanoff has reassured Satvet Pacha con- cerning the execution of the Treaty of Berlin by R: sia, and stated that he had arranged with General ‘Todleben in regard to a settlement of pending diff. culties. He particularly referred to the restoration of Mussalman refugees to their homes, .Prince Loba aoff also informed Safvet Pacha that the Russians will svacnate Bulgaria and Roumvtia conformably with the freaty of Berlin, but that they will continue to hold Adrianople and Thrace pending the Porte’s acceptance of adefinitive treaty, The Czar hos left Lovudia for Moscow, where he will remain two days.

Mowraran, Dee, 1, 1878. ‘The Sabbath day has been inexpressib:y grateful to all concerned in the progress of the new Governor General of Canada and his royal wife through the Do- minion, For one space of twenty-four hours there have becn no formal addresses, no receptions, no hurrabs. Yet even Sunday did not rebuke away the crowds of sightseers bent on obtaining a glimpse of Lord Lorne and the young daughter of the Queen. On every possible route whieh they could have taken on their way to church the sidewalks were lined for hours, and the halls of the Windsor Hotel from the foot of the elevator to the ladies’ exit were pucked with a lot of well dressed and clogent lion worshippers until past dusk in the afternoon. In the course of the day the fol- lowing cable telegram camo to Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise from Her Majesty the Qneen:— ‘Winpson Casrir, Dec, i, 1878. Delighted ut reception.

Admission to the church.was by ticket, an arrangement which pre- vented overcrowding and confusion. ATTENDING. SERVICE AT [HE CATHEDRAL. At five minntes to eleven o'clock His Excellency and the Princess. with their attendants entered, the congregation rising and remaining standing until they were seated. Then the choir sang the national anthem. The Rey. Canon Anderson read the morning service up to the , first lesson, which was read by the Kev. Cannon EMegoed, the Rey. W. Bayles reading the second lesson, After the choig had sang @ very beautiful orrangement of the ‘Benedicite Omnia Opere,” the Bev. Canon Henderson, principal of the Theological School, read the service up to the enthem, “Thy Marvellous Works Behold Amazed,” from the, “Oveation,” the solo being sung. by Mrs. Barnes.. Rev. Canon Baldwin read the prayera ordered to be used when the litany is omitted. ‘The Dean of Montreal read the ante communion service, the epistles being read by the Venerable Arch Deacon Leach, Thehymne sang were the fine ‘Lo, He comes with clouds descending,” and the 387th old ver- sion of the Hundreth psalm, “All people that on earth do dwell.” The Very Reverend the Dean of Montreal, bishop elect, preached the sermon, tak- ing his text from the I. James, i., 17—Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lighis, with whom is no variablenese, neither shadow of turning.” There was nothing in the sermon which was especially adapted to the visit of the Governor General. . THE MARQUIS INCOG. Inu the afternoon the Marquis disappointed hun- dreds who were waiting in the hotel and on the streets, by walking to St. Andrew's Chareh incog- nito and unaccompanied by the Princess, instead of taking @ carriage which was supposed to be waiting at the hotel door. Rev. Gavin Lang preached the sermon, which, although eloquent, had no signifi- cance in connection with His Excellency’s presence in the church, i ATTENDING TO BUSIXESE, At half-past ove P. M. the Governor General had an interview with M. Lefebvre, the French Consul General. It was at the special request of his Excel- leucy that the French Consul attended at that hour, and the subject of the discussion was weighty, it. .the length of time it occupied means anything. One of the items before them was the question of admitting French wines into Canada, and the proposition of the Marquis was that the French government, in exchange for » remission or paring of the present heavy duty upon French imported wines, should reciprocate. in the matter of admitting Canadian ships bottoms to French ports, At present these are practically excluded by the very heavy duty upon them. It is understood that M. Lefebvre is here at the request of Sir John Macdonala, and the incident is characteristic of that astute statesman; wiping and dining and dancing is his first business and diplomacy afterward.

Ky., Dec. 1, 1878. The only account received here of any Gisturbance in Breathitt county comes through the correspondent of a Mount Sterling paper. It is regarded in the BELIEF THAT j main ag sensational, though its statement that two men were killed is generally credited. A> personal difficulty existed between the newly elected County Judge, named Burnett, and a man named Strong, who was his opponent in the race. Burnett is reported killed, I called upon Goy- ernor McCreary this evening, and he tells me that no offieial information of the disturbance had reached him, but on the basis of the letter in the Mount Sterl- ing paper he has addressed a letter to William L. Randall, the Cirenit Judge of that district, whose | court closes aecording to Thw at Jackson, the county seat of Breathitt, this week, and who is probably now at Manchester, Clay county, where his term be- gins to-morrow. THE GOVERNOR INVESTIGATES. In his letter hoe asked for@ statement of the facts concerning the difficulty in Breathitt county, and directing him if the trouble was such as indicated to as possible, in order that all persons who unlawfully participated in the difficulty be arrested, tried and punished, and assuring him that he would be fur- nished all the militia .xid necessary to enable him to enforce the law and imaintsin the peace. The county seat of Breathitt is in the mountains, fifty-two miles from.any railroad station or telegraph office, and at this season tho roads are in bad condition. These troubles are not common in this section of the State, and when they do occur grow out of personal, and not political feuds. ‘The statément that Judge Randall had fied the fury gf the mob is not credited. His court had probably closed its business when he left Jackson, otherwise he would have communicated with the Governor ere this, as be has had ample ¢ime to do since Wednesday, the dute of the Mount Sterling letter. FATAL STEAMBOAT DISASTER. TWENTY LIVES LOSI—THE BOAT AND A VALU- ABLE CARGO BUNK. New Orieans, Dec. 1, 1878. The officers. of the steamer Charles Morgan, from Cincinnati, report that at four o'clock this morning a collision occurred at Bringier’s Point, La., opposite Donaldsonville, between the Morgan and the steamer Cotton Valley, of the Red River Transportation Com- pany’s line.

When the collision occurred the wind waa blowing @ gale and rain was falling in torrents. The boats were rounding the point in opposite directions, and the officers of each, seeing the danger of collision, stopped their engines, but the force of the wind and the headway of the Morgan was so great that her guards struck the Cotton Valley with the utmost violence, and the latter sank in fifteen minutes. The Cotton Valley was valued at $18,000 and insared for $10,000 in New Orleans offices. Her cargo was valued at $75,000; insurance unknown. ‘The officers think thai twelve or fifteen roustabouts,- mostly coiored, were drowned, Lowndes MIDNIGHT WEATHER REPORT. Wan Deranrwenr, .

GEORGE HENRY LEWES, Acable despatch from London this morning an- nounces the death of George Henry Lowes, the di tinguished English philosophical and seientif writer. Mr. Lewes was born in London on the I#th of April, KY and he was, there- fore, in his sixty-first year, To tho American | public he has i probably best known | as the husband of “George Eliot,” and as the Liographer of Goethe, But his high reputation in his own country rests on a broader and surer basis, He | was intended by his fathor for commercial pursu but finding his ovceupation distasteful he devoted himself to medicine. ‘This also wes abandoned | for metaphysics, the study of which he pur- | sued with great ardor in Germany, Having decided to devote his life to literature, he returned in 1840 to Englend and began writing 1 r riticisms and essays for newspapers and tnug- . This habit he kept up through ell his carer. lany of his uncollected writings are to be und in the reviews-—the British Quarterly, the Edin- hand Westminster, tho British and Foreign and oreign Quarterly, He wrote a great deal also for Black cod and for Fraser, for the Morning Chronicle and © Atlas newspapers. In 1843 he published his | “Biographical History of Philosophy from Thales to Comte.” It is a reviow of the different philosophical systems which have attained acceptance in the world, | ‘The book reached 4 second edition in 1852, and in 1857 @ third, revised by the author, A fourth edition, | u_partly rewritten, appeared in 187i, In 1847 fr. Lewes wrot» “Ranthorpe,” a novel, followed by ‘Rose, Dlanche and Violet,” also anovel. In the same year he published “The Spanish Drama,” an account of Lope de Vega and Calderon, In 1819 the Jeader newspaper was started, and he beeame its terary, editor, remaining until July, 1864. In 1850 appeared his “Life of Robespierre, with Fxtvacts from His Unpublished Correspond- ence,” a work which lcaves Mttle or nothing to be added to the history of that dark chapter of the French Revolution. In the same year Mr. Lewes is- sued “The Noblé Heart: a Tragedy," which did not | mect with success, He prepared in 1863 for Bohn’s Scientific Library a yolnme on “Comte’s Philosophy of the Sciences.” In 1855 he gave to the world the “Life and Works of Goethe,” the work by which he is best known to the veading public, Jn 1873 he issued a new edition, partly rewritten, This book was received with euthusiasm in Germany. In 1863 Mr. Lewes issued ‘Seaside Studies at 1 combo,” aud in the same year prepared for a mee of the British Association a paper on “The Spinal asa Centre of Sensation and Volition.” In 1: | published three papers on “The N tom:/? in 380, | “Ihe Phssiology Common | Li and in ‘1861, “Studies in’ Animal Life:”’ his obj in these researches being to obtain the clew through the labyrinth of mental ph nomena, His next volume (1st) was entitled “Ari. totle: a Chapter from’ the History of Science, and is devoted to careful and searching ani of the .xcientife writings of the " Stagirite phiJosopher.. In 1865 he established the Fortnightly Reevw, but soon after he resigne 1 its editorship, on | account of ill health, into the hands of Mr, John Mor- ley. In 1874 he published +The Foundations of a Creed.’? TIncommon with ell his works it bears the marks of indefatigable industry, of ke ight, ct. persistent and earnest study.

The Wuldrons are among the oldest of the Knickerbocker families, and in addition to the dignity their large possessions invested them with they have not a little ancestral pride, coming as they do from an authentic nobleman of the pre- Revolutionary date, In 1654 or thereabouts Baron Waldron came to Manhattan Island trom beyond the sea, and through the favor of Peter vated tastes, his versatile and.brilliant powers, in | SOCTALISM, Germany’s Bitter War Upon Its Advocates. THE AMERICAN BRANCH. Why Socialis ceed in this Country. ic Doctrines Cannot Suc- ‘The meeting of French socialists ia West Houston street last evening was largely attended by ladi gontlemen and even children, who accon:panied th parents, M, Roisset oceupied the chair, and in « ing the procecdings called attention to the Tact that the very presence of such @ large andicnce showed the growing iv taken iu the social ques- Ho trusted thut the French section of the socialistic party, at least, would show by the conferences that all were dispored to be in- structed in the great questions affecting mankind all the world over, After the singing of several Frencit and German airs by Mime, Lutz, M. Leopold Finiel ascended the platform ani explained that socialism was really, nothing else than the practice of principles of justice, honesty and rectitude. Nevertheless it was a vast study how to amoliorate the social position of mankind, One great idea must be continually borne in mind. Man had the right to exist and to eat. Whatever theorists might argue, the truism thut man had the right to eat always me to the front, and whcnever society refused to acknowledge this truism society should be reminded that each man had a right to his’place in that society, and, again, that he had a right to eat. It would then be asked how much docs # man require to subsist. ‘That was 2 question of figures. In fact, imaterial economy was based entirely on figures, WAGES IN FRANCE, _ Take the average wages of a workingman in France, for instance. He is put down by statisticians us gaining forty sous—-five centimes cach sou—por day. But he does not work 365, ‘only 210, days per year. Again, an average workingman does not represent himself alone, he represents at least four persons, constituting his family, for whom the law of nature compels him to provide. When the proper calculation is made, then, _ this same workingman instead of — earning’ forty sous, only carns 231, centimes per day. Now, then, to take another method of proving thia by caleulat: ing the actual products of a country, say of France again, and dividing that amount by aceriain number of consumers which it contains—the same result of centimes per day would be reached. The work- gman, then—it was the same for one country as, as for the other—as not enough to live upon. He therefore asks more toda y, because he begins to understand that he fultils his duty in society, while: those who control society do not. Take, for instance, in this country the provision merchant. In erranging the prices of his wares, which werkingmen must purchase, the merchant calculates first the cost of the articles, then he adds on duties, taxes, transportation and iis own profits. He then sells to the wholesale mer- chant, The latter puts on his expenses, his profits and sells to the retailer. The retailer then puts on his expenses and his profits, and the poor devil of a workingman pays the whole of it, whether it be for sugar, coffee, tea, hams or any other necessaries of lire. Sometimes they were told that they exaggerated the state of affairs, but the speaker gared not to lift the veil which covered that society of Cabinet Ministers ond kings which ex- claimed continnally that workingmen demanded too much, Not only the aged, father, but the child in the cradle suffered at the hends of socicty, the which it was constituted to-day. the day of felief was © dawning. Only a iit while ago defenders of s e igo tl the old system declared that the small band ot social- ists were making u great deal of noise in the world; to-day, at least, these people were obliged to listen to that noise. In Germany, for instance, they were com- pelled to take ferocious measures to ‘oppose the on- slaught of socialists. Despots now passed their days in terror. So much at least had beon gaincd. All socialists should march on to the day of deliver- ance with confidence. The day was not far oit, and men, women and children, one and all, should press forward to become martyrs, if neceseary, in the great cause, EFFECTS OF SOCIALISM UPON OUR INSTITUTIONS DISCUSSED BY REY. DRS. HITCHCOCK AND Stuyvesant, aud subsequently by the royal imunifi- cence of: George IIL, who was parcelling ont real es- tate quite liberally just then, the new comer secured a grant of the land lying between Seventy-fourth street and Fordham. @ old Waldron homestead is stil standing at Eighty-sixth street and Second avenue, and there the famliy resided during the early days of the deceased lady's life. Her father, William, however, found the old house distasteful to him after the death of his wife, aud Mise Cornelia took up her abode at No, 10 Lafayette place, which also be- longs to the estate, Hero she had resided for a long time with her sister, Mrs. Hig- gins, a lady five years her junior. The catate of the Waldrons was estimated some years ayo at fabulous figures, bit owing to the recent deprecia- tion in property its valuation can now be fixed with more aceuracy. Four millions, however, is the very respectable sum which it is still said to represent. Like most big estates it hss got into the courts and has at several times been @ fruitful cause of litigation. During the Ring days a tract of marshy lunds covered by the grant was disposed of by the city and the Waldrons at once resented this invasion of their rights. The suit growing out of it has ex- cited no. little interest, and it had the effect of multiplying alleged sctons of the family in various parts of the world, and would-be claimants have been expected to come to the surface at any mo- ment. Miss Cornelia Waldron had always taken an active personal interest in the busi- nest of the estate, and being & woman of good btwiness qualitics she had herself assumed the burden of its management. Last week she was called by the deeth of her cousin to the house of Mr. Me y, of the Old Dominion Steaiuship Com- pany. She seemed as strong snd active as ever and attended the funeral with the other relatives of the family. Since that she had been ont of doors even during the tryipg weather of last week, and on Saturday night she waa out a some ‘asea when the le fit prostrated her. Mise Waldron’s tuneral has been set down for next Wednesday, from No. 8 Lataystte place, and by ber own request it will one of the ola fashioned kind. Instead of hearses, car- es and the like, only the cottin and the mourning train will go to the place of the dead’s repose. The former will be carried through the streets to St. Mark’s churchyard, where the old family vault of the Waldrons is located, and it will -be followed by the zelatives and friends of the deceased, FATHER DOMENICO CHELINI, ITALIAN MATHEMA- TICIAN. Father Chelini, one of the mort celebrated of modern Italian mathematicians, died at Rome on November 16. He was born at Florence in 1811, was educated at the University of Bologna, and, after be- ae monk of the Scolopian Order, he accepted the post of Professor of Mathematica successively at the Colleges Niazereno and at Bologna. He withdrew from the latter post in 1850 owing to his refusal to take an oath to sup the House of Savoy, and weut to Rome, where he filled a professorship in the University. treatises on mechanics and on mathematical astronomy gave him « wide renown. He was a friend of Father Secchi and of Professors Dontdi and Munsotti, and was an indefatigable pioneer in dificult branches of his chosen science. LADY CHARLOTTE MOOR HATHERLEY. lady Charlotte Hatherley, wife of Lord Hatherley, formerly Chancellor of England, died November 19 t Red House Park, near Ipswich, England. She was the only daughter of Major Edward Moor, of Great Bealings, Suffolk; born about 1810, and married in 1830 Mr. William Page Wood, who in 1968 was made Baron Hatherley.

Despatches from the West say a tremendous siow and sleet storm prevailed last night along the line of the Missonrt — Pacific Railroad, west of Otterville, and extended into Kansas, ‘The telegraph line was torn down on the Pacific road, Kansas City was entirely isolated telegraphically, and the whole surrounding country is buried in snow, ‘ STORRS. “For years I anticipated socialistic trouble,” said Dr. Hitchcock, in the Church of the Pilgrims, Brook- lyn, last night, ‘and now it has come. I see serious trouble ahead, but naught to indicate ruin. Lam convinced thet any organized attack upon property here is sure to be drenched in blood. A>- cording to the last census there are nearly thice million farms in this country, and, allowing five per- sons to each m, we have 15,009,000 sturdy hearts that will resist to the death ony invasion of their in- dividual rights. An attack on them by Commu- nistic fanatics is sure to meet with swift defeat, In fact, the wiser portion of the socialists no longer threaten every one indiscriminately. | They except three countnies from the universal ruin that is impending over the heads of the nations. France is one, Great Britain another and the Ameri- can Republic the third. France, because she settled forever the question of Communism on the strects of Paris seven years ago; Great Britain, because her trades unions and labor orgauizations remove the necessity of resorting to extreme meas- ures in the strnggle between capital and labor, and the United States, on account of the entire free- dom accorded to every onc. Germany, Austria and Italy, say the socinlists, are destined for a terrible baptism of blood, but we are to be spared, The only apprehension we may have is that socialism, radist- ing toward communism, may penetrate our political life, and its heresies find expression in our national and State legislation. This is the evil that we must look squarely in the face and resist. SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM, Socialism aud communism sre often used as ca mous terms, but incorrectly. One is generic; the other specific. ‘Communixm is the anuihilation of the individual, his entire absorption into the ‘State. rights or propert According to it the individual as such has no ie Tt assumes control of all private industries and dictates what kind of work and how much of it & man must do. It withers all energy and di ys even the natural ambition of getting along well in the world. Property, family and reli- ey perish beneath its baleful influence. Some may old Commmnistic ideas toward property alone, but your true, philosophic, thorough going Communist attack# all three of tho deurest ties of,the individual. Now a socitlist is not necessarily a Communist. So- cisliom is that which takes cognizance of any i uality of social condition with a view to correct it, Theat inequalities it secks to remove despite natural differences, It assumes that the social con- dition may be equalized aud human characteristics atterward ted, Now, for the social problem there is no socialistic solution. No cunning legisla- tion, no co-operative schemes, nothing with sovial- istic elements and ty} can prove a suiticient remedy for the evile of social lite. Christianity is the only efficient worker fn the solution of this problem. It places individual character first and the condition second. The battle with socialism will be brief, but will be very hot. No quarter will be given until it is ended. It is astonishing some- times to hear Christian men talk of adopting some eo ‘ative plan by which tho straggle may be ave! Professor Price, of Oxford, in an admirable treatise on political economy, says that it is an art and not a science and can be easily learnod, The average mind can understand the rales for the production and distribution of wealth, He says we must depend on the clergy to bring these principles to the mind of every one. A preacher should throw all his influence on the side of labor, not jn a socialistic, but’ in a humanistic sense, The minister otight to be the poor man’s fricnd and go to him with kindly feelings, ret, in- Yasiavs DGG ALERIRS, Po Res cn soc} inequalities we iv equal ee endowment of body and mind. In the second place there are inequalities of Providenco or chances, sich as sickness and other afflictions. Then we have commercial fluctuation, and the more ad- vanced and complicated society becomes the greater these fluctuations, The last inequality may be called immorality of conduct, especially in the use of intoxi- rating liquors, to which source may be ascribed a very large proportion of crime and poverty. Mev. Dr. Hamlin, of Maino, said that the Liquar law thoro has well nigh aunthilated panperiam., Many of the social inequalities may be t to human weakuess and indulgence. Suppose socialiam gives the laborer more- wages, What is the use if he still goes to the rumshop and spends it all.

St, Mark’s Church was well filled last evening with Acongregation attracted by the announcement that the rector, would preach on the subject sin, ‘That there was uo expectation of any upholding of Communism in its pres ent popular form was shown by the con- spicuons sbsence* of prominent Communists. The Communism of the Scriptures, while it was acceptable to the congregation as the subjcet of the sormon, contd hardly b@ expected to prove attractive » modern exponents of the doctrine. He took for And the muititude of them » of one heart and of one soul; any of them that aught whieh he pos- sessed was his own; but they had all things in com- mon.” He said it was not fair to judge a system by its abuses, otherwise Christianity would have a very bad name. From the outrages in France under the name of the Commune, Communism has a bad name, The gentle Ebenezer Elio! says the idler is very willing to forfeit his penny and pocket your shilling. Another writer says that envy is the ground of Communism, Yet wise men have deemed the ct worthy of careful study, and many of the best men of the world have been Communists in theory at least. Plato and Sir Thomas More, Harrington and Campanelli are smong them. No one will cammniate the late Robert Owen, who apent a fortune honestly carned in trying to al- leviate human on Such amen are neither knaves nor charlatuns. They are supported by too many social’ wrongs to be met with the vitu- peration.of preachers, Communism, as a system, is j not to be crushed by abuse. Communists insist that our present form of society is unjust in theory and ernel in practice. Its wrongs are to be met, according to the socialists, by an al ion of private property. There are to be no idler: men of leisure, but all are to be employed. The proceads are to be equitably distributed. The diseased and other incapables are to be provided for by the well. EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYERS. ‘Talk as we will of the evils. of capital, he said, the weak will probably have to suffer in the race of life, ‘The employer will get all he can for his mon The laborer is @ part of the machinery. He -i a hand, uot a. mu impuls often lead capitaliata — te for the benefit of the laborer. If I were preaching to a company of workingmen 1 would try tu euforce a cone sideration of thess things—of the burdens borne by employers. God help masters as well as men in such (imes as these. A lady once proposed to send deputu tions to the masters to ask them to give higher wages, ‘There is a great deal of that kind of thinking among the people. Competition is not taken into consideration, But just here commun. ists say the advantages of their system willeome. T wish I could believe it, but I cannot. It is too beantiful to be realized. Communism demands too great and high characteristics. They do not rule men, Alittle company might possiply succeed for a time, but it would not answer for the world at large, Dr. Rylance then cited the instance of Robert Owen's eettlement of New Harmeny, quoting Mr. Greeley’s review of the work, RELXING ON THE STATE. When Communism, de continued, undertakes to regu- late the world it tries to do something which will result in failure. There is a cowardly and idiotic reliance on the State in Communism, Experience teaches us that the people are the best off when the powers of the State are curtailed the most. Yet these men who cry ont against despotism propose adespotism more in- tolerable than any iu history. All is to be done by the State. Let the reward of labor be equal to all or un- equal the result would be rain. , it would ruin the higher chare:teristics of men; would put a premium on idleness and skulking. The late Mr. Mill asks if there would be any asylum left for indi- viduality—whether all men would sot be ground into exact similarity. We will most of us take this ab a cautious condembation of Communism. There aro other objections; but enough. You have not seen in what I have said ony animus azainst Communism. But it is impracticable; it is a dream, a very pleasant dream, but little more, begging the shade of Plato, pardon, There is little danger of the American people adopting Comniunism. Let us not yiell to foolish alarms or feel _unkindly toward ‘agitators. ‘There is some ill feeling on the part of tho working people, but under the cir- cumstances I wonder there is not more, Let us re- member that we that are horige Sein to bear the in- firmities of the weak. As to the text, Ithiuk I can oxplain its seerning indorsement of Communism in & future lecture. HOTEL ARRIVALS. General Benjamin F.
