In advan; this th Mr. only reiterates the ctring advocated by eminent socialists the world over for the last fifty years, The essence of this doctrine is that ail pro- luction shall be for use and Mot for profit But how this to be brought about in free country? Mr. Bellamy not only i that the government shall carry on all lif: and fire insurance, all the iilroads, telegraphs, mines, ail mills, lumber mills, but also manufacture ail clothing, liquor and in fact all commodities in general use. That means, virtually, put ting all the able-bedicd workers in the country on the federal pay roll. When that comes to there will be no incentive for individual ambition or enterprise and no expansion: e cepting as the government would improvise government works, There might be great population s like Pekin and Yeddo, but there would be no great world cities like London, Berlin, New York, Phila- delphia and Chicago. With all the commerce carried on from mammoth public buildings, there would be no usc busine: affairs of t d on I ized a people nee Ty telam I8 a own and operate steel and pass cente Paris, for stores, warehouse: or other business blocks. A Bellamyite city would consist of a central railway depot, a and po:tal and telograph building, half o dozen mammoth store and warchouses, haif ket bulldings dispensaries, twenty or thirt s and working woman's dormitories staurants, thirty forty school houses and a few thousand dwellings, built for use nd not for ornament. Possibly there would public baths, theaters for athletic exercise. all these were erectod the city could be fenced There would be no material growth beyond the natural in- and incidental immigration. There be nothing for the building trades little for artists and profes- slonal outside of the schools and academies. This would be an ideal state, but not a state in which the masses would remain contented. From a political standpoint nationalism would mean perpetual agitation and revolu- tion. With hundreds of thousands of lu- crative positions within its gift, there would be a flerce perpetual s ambitious ans to get into This greed for office and power might be curbed by life tenure, but it could not be kept down, be. cause promotion to important would be the only ambition.

AMENACE T) JUDICLAL INDEPENDENCE Not content of congress of the democracy judiclary, a trol of the two hous the department government, the southern turns its attention to the gainst whose independ has undertaken to lead an attack. In no other light can the be con strued which Mr. Oates of Alabama has made from the judiciary committee of the house recommending for submission to the legislatures of the several states an amend- ment to the constitution fixing the tenure of our judges at ten years instead of for lifo during good behavior, now pre- scribed. The reasons advanced for the pro- illy the purpose of the amendment, to remove the bulwark that has before the en- croachments of the rights propa- ganda In behalf of a ten years term for federal judges it is urged that life tenure has not secured that independence and impartiality with which the framers of the itution ught cndow the judiciary. Further- more, that some of the judges have partici- pated in and have scemed to be judgments; that they are sonsibility to an with c and executive federal now federal ence it report as 1s conceal which is stood up state’s bosed change co politics their far removed from one that they do which they would abstain were they held responsible for their acts; that ineflicient judg endured until they reach the age of retire- ment, and above all that the federal judi- fary h ners to undermine, distort and practicall destroy all the checks and ba of the constitution and to convert our government into a centralism.” Why the amendment should stop short with a term of ten years, ratfier than five years or three years or one vear, its advocates have not taken the trouble to explain. Neither has it been made clear why, If responsibility is the thing de sired, that responsibility Is not made direct to the people by popular election rather than the circuitous route of presidential why, if independence is independence of sals The framers of tho constitution the of the courts so highly that they provided for it not one safeguard but many—the lif tenure, the presidential appointment, the im- munity from a possible diminution of salary all of which contribute to the end. To say that the constitution has failed of its purpose in this respect is to lgnore the pal- pable teachings of experience. Ask any lawyer which state courts most respected for their independence and decisions are most cited as authrities and he will the states in which the judicial tenure approaches most rly to that of the federal judic Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware and Rhode Island have judges who hold their offices for life. The term in Pennsylvania is twenty-one years, In New York fourteen year: in Maryland fifteen years. Recent changes In /different states almost without exception been in the ction of longer terms.

LUXURIES AND REVENUE, The internal revenue statistics furnish in- teresting Instructive facts bearing on the question of taxing articles in general use not the tax on certain articles designated as luxuries, The statistics show that in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, there was a decrease of less than $100,000 in the revenue from the tax on smoking and chewing tobacco, as com- with the preceding and an in- of $750,000 in the revenue from the on cigars. It would appear from this during the last fiscal year tho ten- was to smoke the more expensive cigar In preference to the cheaper pipe. The beginning of the financial stringency was Just before the close of the fiscal year of 1803, and the effect of the hard times was shown by a falling off of nearly $1,10 first quarter of the current the from smoking tobacco, and of §750,000 in that from In’ the same the revenue from cigarettes nearly , showing that the cigarette substituted tho to a extent. The large falling oft in the revenue from smoking and chewing tobacco 1s good ovidence of the stringency of the large proportion of the unemployed work ingmen having been compelled to give up their tobacco or to In.qu much less than formerly.
