(Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett. | Loxpox, Feb. 7.—{New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.]—Cardinal Man- ning has a long lotter in the Times discussing the problem abont tho uncmployed and so- cinlism. When people interview him he is not apt to tatk as thoughtfully as he writes. 1 send the most interesting of the views of this great English Catholic: What, then, is socialism? It is a vision of society governed by the law of nature only, under which state is supreme and therefore really the only land- lord and the supreme and therefore really the only employer of labor. It is, therefor the nogation of all progress and of all the social laws which wisdom, justice and experience have sanctioned and matured. It is also an attempt to t or reverse natural iniquities resulting from the intrinsic inequaiity, intellcetual and moral, of man— an impossible task and a theory replete with every kind of injustice to men and to society. needless to say that the poor law of Elizabeth is profuse with social compassion withiout & tinge of spurious social- ism, and Mr. Mill, with his large foresight, readily perceived the difference ‘between the right of sustenance or of work in a parish and the drail (trairal in the Ateliors nation.) Nevertheless e points out the identity of the principle and justifiod the principle and at the same time repudi use as supremely inexpedient in the ha any government and liable to produce both outbreaks and socialism--outbreaks in the disappointed and demoralized and socialism in the sharp and perverse will of their lead- ers. It can hardly be necessary to draw out the roasons, and if some whose intelligence is 8o “high and balanced had not failed to express—for they must clearly know the destinations of parish relief and national work shops—I would not weary your readers by detaining them. First, and above all to make the state—beyond its own legitimate dutics, of which we will speak hereafter—the public employer of labor is an exaggeration of the worst danger in politics, coupled with tho worst form of that danger, namcly—exaggerated cen- tralization. Even the centralization inevi- table and necessary for the ordinary admin- jstration of government, involving large patronage, with all its evils, is suMiciently dangerous in any state. The number of official persons is always large, but neces- sarily sclected, or ought to be, for intelli- gence and fitness, But to make the stato—that s, the government of to-day—the only employer of an unlimited member of the populace at large, who must necessarily be the least skilled, succeasful and, to a great extent, trustworthy of the people would be a public danger, fatal sooner or later to any commonwealth, and in such a commonywealth as ours of certain and speedy disorder. National workshops in this country ‘would destroy the labor market, would become a political influence in all the alternate conflicts of factions and parties, a source of the wildest and lowest patronage, ravenously sought by all kinds and conditions of men, a closo field for every kind of jobs in the cloud of officials Greated by it, and and open waste of demor- alization of the people at large. et DICKENS' ANNIVERSARY, The Birthday of the Great Novelist Appropriately Observed. Copyright 1658 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpox, Feb. 7.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to the Bee.]—The passing London week furnishes several historic anniversaries. Yesterday was the one of the birth of the good Queen Anne, next Friday will revive memories of the queen’s marriuge, to-morrow i commemorated the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, and on the next day the mar- jyrdom of Bishop Hooper. To-day was the anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens, who, if alive, would have reached the age of seventy-six. His grave in the ‘‘Poets’ Corner” of Westmister abbey, which is besido the remains of Sheridan and Garrick and shaggwed by Thackeray's bust, is, as usual on Mo recurrence ot the day, covered’ with flowers, among them & bunch of snowdrops and attached to it this: “From a Little.” Henry J. Dickens, the second son, honors tho day with u small dinner party, as also docs the movelist's ~ great “‘youthful friend,” J. C. Parkinson. At both the tables the health wus drank of Charles, the second, now in the states. There is progressing, as [ bogin this dispatch, a remembrance celebra- tion under the following card of announce- ment: “DICKENS' BIRTHDAY CELEBR. FEBRUARY 7, 1888, Seventy-sixth birthday of old England’s favorite novelist, and third celebration, The committee beg to iutimate the above charming anniversary at the elegant and commodious Balmoral rooms, Hart street and Oxford stre An entertamment of musical and dramatic items from or con nected with the late Charles Dickens will be given at 8 by special artists. At 11 will com- mence the Dickens in which will appear many of the | haracters from the Mamortal works. Nome but those in evening dress and other costumes will be ad- mitted. The utmost care will be token to in- sure the highest tone to the celebration, which has now become an annual event of singular interest and peculiar attraction.” The celebration at Balmoral rooms pro ceoded under the auspices of Edwin Drew, the elocutionist, who had been the young friend of Dickens and who says he was, in some repsects, the model from which the novelist took the character of Edwin Drood. A bit of music called *‘Pickwick € played the curtain up. Howard contributed au orviginal comic and on & deserved encore another. Miss Florence Emes aria from Dickens' operetta of “The Village Coquette.” The host, Edwin Drew, g the ‘‘Sergeant Buz Fuz" speech a la Toole. Robert Recce sang the “‘Little Noll" song from the original really blank vorse desevip tion of her illness. Two clever amateurs gave a duet “What Are the Wild Waves Saying.” Miss Virginia Blackwood, who in this country has been doing for “The Mar- chioness” what Lotta does the character in America, gave the “Log 0 Mutton scene with Dick Swiveller. However, the piecos de re. sistance of the programme wove scenes from “Barnaby Rudge” and “Nicholas Nickleby," partly in tableaux and partly in action and dinlogue, with an excellent Barnaby and a clever Smike. Just as the curtain fell, the suditors, rising, 8 memorial march, composed for the oocasion and performed on the piano- forte by Lehmeyer, was agreably heard. This soon changed into a verse of “God Save the Queen,” during which the chairs were removed and the floor prepared for dancing During the performance a large number of suditors sat in their fancy dresses, but when the floor was ready numbers of more Dickens- st characters from other parts of the house, and the well-known mingling oc- eurred. Howard Paul led off in & waltz with TION. Paul ballad sang on sang an ene of the twelve Dolly Vardeas who wove present, and with none of whom jealous Willatt -was ' observed to dance. Weller took to the snifiling Miss Miggs, Chadband actually embraced the follies known to the ‘‘Muse of the many twinkiing feet.” Of the ton little E: one eaptared the Artful Dodger in a quad rifle. Mr. Pickwack and Mrs. Rudge fic Rumble with Mrs, Bardell. Noone person ated Pecksniff, Dombey or Carker.

PLATT FINISHES HIS SPEECH. He Makes a Suggestion as to the Surplus, TO BE OPENED TO SETTLEMENT. Provisions of the Oklahoma Territory Bill-Disadvautages of a Retired Civil Service List—Congrese sional Proceedings. Platt on the Surplus, Wasnisaros, Feb, 7.—Among the bills re- ported from committees and placed on the ciidar were the following: elief of women enrolled as army nurses, p To restore pensions in certain cases. For the relief of importers: of animals for Dbreeding purposes in certain cases, Mr. Nye offered a resofution, which was adopted, intsructing the committee on com- meree to inquire into the right and expediency of congress assuming control of the crection of bridges over navigable rivers within state limits, The senate then, at 12:45, resumed the con- sideration of the resolution to refer the presi. dent’s message and Mr. Platt resumed his speech which he commenced yesterday. He had shown yesterday that the presi- dent’s message meant absolute and final de- struction of the protective system; that it meant practical and absoluto free trade, and that it could result in nothing else but the entire downfall of the protective system of the country. He could not but assume that the democratic party intended to follow the recommendations of its commander-in-chief. He admitted the necessity of some reduction of the income, but he was not to be frightened into the abandonment of the pro tective system by the president's “raw. head and bloody bones" figure: As to the surplus in the treasury he denied there was any necessity for such an accumu- Jation. The democratic party stood pledged by its platform and the profession of its lenders on every stump, to take steps immediately on its accession to power for the reduction of the surplus, This was & democratic administra- tion, and if any money had been allowed to accumulate in* the treasury and no_effort made for its reduction, the Tault wag that of the party in power. What reason could be given for that delay in the pa What rea- could be given for that delay to-d: f it were not that the accumulation in _the treas- ury was being used and deliberately used to force congress into _the destruction of the protective system of the country. In three years, on the Istof January, 1801, gov- ernment bonds to the amount of 33,000,000 would faly due, and 4 per cent, bouds. would fall due in 1007, Why not tey pay off that debt in advance? The president had cast doubt upon the existence of any authority for the treasury to buy up bonds, becau the authority was contuined in an_uppropria- tion bill, buf the president seemed to forget that his own authoril for drawing his sal: ),000 & year instead of £25,000 was also in an_appropriation bill, the legislative bill of 15 1t scomed to make a differen “whose ox was gored,” whether the presi- dent wanted to do a thing or wanted not_to doit. If the x ous agents flitting be- tween New York importers and the White House and a committee room of the house represen had turned their attention 10 negot. s between the government and bondholders there would be no difficulty in arriving at some arrangement by which™ the debt could be anticipated and the - treasury relieved of the accumulation. He wanted the democratic party to follow its leader, to obey its commander, to take off the mask and to have a square fight on the 1ssue presented by the president. Protection was the policy of united America in its_com- petition with the world. Unless the dewo- cratic president and so-called democratic party were permitted to destroy this safe- guard, united America would continue to beat the world in the grand struggle for hu- man advancement, “The house bill to authorize the construc- tion of a bridge over the Missouri rivec at or near Lexington, Mo., passed without amend- ment. ‘The following bills were introduced : y Mr. Sawyer—-Providing that all sol- who ser y days in the late war and were honorably musterced out or discharged on the ‘surgeon’s certificates of disability, shall be entitled to receive the same bounty to which they would have been entitled had their full term of enlistment been served out.

At 8 o’clock last evening the delegation of Yankton citizens who are to confer with the Omaha board of trade in regard to the pro- posed Omaha, Yankton & Northwestern rail- road, arrived in Omaha. On the invitation of the delegation who met them here, the strangers were taken to the Graud opera house, where they passed a pleasant evening watching the comedy presented. At 11:30 they were taken to the Paxton, where they were met by a representative of the Bee. The party consists of General W. H. H. Beadle, a banker; F. M. Ziebach, receiver at the United States land office; W. S. Bowen, cditor of the Press and Dakotian; William M. Powers, a real estate dealer and county commissioner; J. P. Crennan, a banker, and E. P. Wilcox, proprietor of the Morrison house. They are all an intelligent, shrewd looking set of men, Mr, Crennan was asked with what favor the Yankton people looked upon the proposcd road. He replied that the Yankton people and the country tributary to it, as well as the people along. tho proposed route, were dll enthusiastic in favor of the proposed line and even anxious forit. The territory surrounding Yankton he further said, is @ great hog and cattle country, and the proposed road would make Omaha the mart where they could dispose of their live stock. At present all their products were shipped to Chicago. The proposed line would really malke the richest country in the United States tributary to the Gate City, and ‘would prove a valuable feeder to the great packing houses of Omaha. Not only would it open the great colintry of southern Da- kota, but also the' tich wheat fields to the north of it, which”would pour their wealth into Omaha. R “What inducements have the people of Yankton to offer for the building of the pro- posed roadi” was asked. ““‘We have not come:down to offer any other inducements just mow than the natural re- sources of the countrys These alone should be a sufficient inducement. Many of the Omaha people do. mot understand that it s not @& wilderness that is being opened up, but n country that has been settléd: for twenty years, and is full of wealth and permanent resources. This country should ‘pay tribute to Omaha instead of going further east. An immense business would be done in the handling of hogs, cattle, corn and wheat. Mr. Bowen, editor af the Press ard Dako- tian; was asked concerning the shipment of hogs and cattle from Yaukton. He replied that during the year 1887, over five hundred thousand head of hogs were shipped, and about the same value in cattle. The Jim river valey, which the proposed road would tap, he said, was about four hundred miles long and the richest strip of country in the west. The new road would also be @ great aavantage i securing cheap lumber and coal from the Manitoba country over the road now being built from Manitoba to Yanicton, and Omaha could ship to that country her pork and beef and send it by the same route into Manitoba and the other country now opening up. He said that the roads now carrying Yankton’s shipments, of course, bitterly opposed the proposed road, and had done much in the past to prevent the turing of plans forit, but the people had od that they wanted the road and were ermined to have it. He showed how that y, by extending one or two little foeders, had gathered 1 territory that should be tributary to this city., Omaha was big enough, he thought, to reach outside the state.

Instances Enumerated in Which They * Are Ruinously Low—Fraundulent Importation of So Cilled Breeding Stock Protection For Agriculture. . Feb, 7.—Some time ago the Tribune invited expressions of opinion by individual farmors, agricultural —socicties and granges regarding the influence of the tariff upon the agricultural industry and the changes in the tarift desired by farmers. "The result was the reccipt of several thous- and lettors which the Tribune submitted to a committee consisting of Hon. Warner Miller. Cyrus Carpenter, John F. Rich, W. C. Morse, Edward Burrough, J. D. Lyman, W. M. Grosvenor, J. H. Hale of Connecticut, and Hon. James Wilson of Towa, This com- mittee was charged with the work of making up the concensus of farmers as shown by these letters, Its roport is accompamed by the following petition which cmbodies the finding of the committeo and which farmers and farmers’ organizations who favor its propositions, are requested to sign and trans- mit to congress, or to the Tribune. Petition For the More Effectual Protection of Agriculture--To the Speaker of the House of Representatives: The undersigned respect- fully pray that agriculture may be more ef- fectually protected by preventing fraudulent importations of cattle on the pretence that they are for breeding purposes only; by o duty of 20 cents per bushel on barley, with a proportionate increase of duty on malt; by dutics of$25 centssper bushel on potatoes and onions; £ per 100 1bs. con cabbages; 3 per ton ou hay; 10 cents per pound on hops; 20 per cent on beans and peas; b cents per ‘dozen on eggs; 30 per cent on fowls and poultry, andon vegetables in their natural state ‘or in salt or brine not otherwise pro- vided for, with no removal or reduction on market garden products now dutiable; by such increased dutics on flax and linen goods as will effectually encourage the preparation of fibre and the manufacture of goods; by abolishing all duties on sugar, with a bounty to home broducers; by preventing imports of leaf tobuceo suitable for wrappers at duties imposed on other leaf tobacco, and repealing allinternal taxes on tobacco; by restoring to wool growing the substantial protection enjoyed under the tariff of 1567, modified to meet later forms of foreign competition and of evasion.

Everything want in wheat, corn and oats, and the moderato break of yesterday was supplomented by a little larger one this morning. The ball was started rolling yesterday afternoon appar- ently by a few local traders who had bought corn in anticipation of a war which did not come, and in trylng to get rid of it found 00 buyers and were ull the more impatient to let go.

The bears assisted, of course, in pounding prices down, but the long grain coming out was responsiblo for most of the decline. May wheat opened at $15g@81%c, sold spar- ingly at 813;¢, then dropped to 811§¢ before a halt was called. At this price and a littlo abovo the shorts bogan 1o recover and the decline was stopped. Ream was said to hayo bought in 1,500,000 bushels. Poole & Sher- man were also heavy buyers, sups posed to be for Kent. Hutehinson, who has been the most prominent figure in tho market for somo days, was said to be selling wheat, but in the largely in- creased transuctions his actions were not of 0 much importance as formerly. From 8140 there was a reaction to 81'¢¢ and during the remaindor of the session thie limits of those two prices were not passed. The pressure to sell was relaxed, but there was very little wheat wanted at 8lige. Nor was there much for sale at slige. The 1 o'elock close was at Slifc.

In point of activity lard rather led the trade, though' short ribs and pork had spurts of more than ordinary life. Still the movement all around was due largely to the operations of a prominent trader, who was a free seller of lard whenever the market was in a condition to take his offerings. The same party also sold short ribs carly with some freedom, but his pur- chases of them later probably cqualled his sales. In pork the trading was general and without special feature., All things con- sidered, an encouraging undertone of strength was witnesscd, ed on last night's clofings, pork at 10'clock was un- changed, ln unchanged to 2}¢e higher, and short ribs 2i5c higher, N—Wheat_lower; May openad at 811@s14.e on the split and sold off to 80%ge, then ut 814@s1 e and at the closing at 8lebid.
