FRANCIECO LL, THURSDAY, JUNE ot vuts o v v oo || OYAL RESIDENTS OF NAPA 'PREPARE BIG CELEBRATIO other senses become so keen that they take the place | + of sight. They adjust themselves to space by touch, Y G I sound and a certain sublimation of all the remaining senses, which deserves to be named a sixth sense. They walk even in strange paths without a stick, and if there be an obstruction in the way they “feel” it as accurately as if they could see it. The capacity of the juvenile blind has been proved as boundless as that of those who see. Harvard has had a blind professor of mathematics; Boston has a blind sur- geon; Herreshoff, the yacht-builder, is blind; in New York a blind sculptor has executed lucrative contracts; in this State we have had two blind Judges on the Superior bench; a blind Assistant United States District Attorney has recently died in THE €A IMPRESSIVE WEDDING AT ST. IGNATIUS St. Ignatius Church was the scete of an impressive wedding yesterday nprr ing when Aloysius James Welth took for his bride Miss Ethel Tobin. Father Ke: of Santa Clara performed the ceremoly assisted by Father Lally. The chum was thronged with Hhandsomely attired guests. A profusion of roses in a variey of tints comprised the principal part af the decoration, interspersed with ferny and palms. St. Joseph lilies surrounded the altar. \ The bride was beautiful in a creation of white liberty satin elaborately shirred and trimmed with duchesse lace, ruchings of tulle and clusters of orange blossoms ABOUT SOCIALISM. HE Oakland Enquirer is the organ of Ameri- can socialism, and advances its theories with distinct ability and persistence. Commenting upon our notice of the socialist successes in Germany, | that paper declares that its most prized amusement is watching “the antics of the ordinary editorial writer when he is face to face with a subject of which he knows nothing. Now the ordinary editor does not know what socialism is, unless he has a certain superficial acquaintance with the manifesta- tions of an obsolete communism which practically died at the barricades of 1848. The socialism of to- day, with its philosophy, its traditions, its ~advan- tages and its limitations, is hidden from him.” .

THE RIGHT OF CONTRACT C IDER of things, that it scems strange that any one should as been stoutly contested and its ON ABLE space in the verdict of the oi the anthracite coal strike was given to the right of non-union labor to make e th protected by the'law. The nary, so much in the order and nature mon as to lead large num- s to believe that it had no is becoming appar- denial of that right means stem of government. In dis- he right of workingman to make individual con- to sell labor where, when, to whom and at price he pleases should be defended by the vhole organized force of society The meaning of his is t i on the right of contract, ind that the American abor and to t right by denying and pre- enting act must be resisted because it s destruct i the state The Cardir is expressed concurrently with + decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois. As an ncident in the labor union politics of that State the egislature was induced to create free employment I's view igencies for the benefit of union labor, and to pro- | 1ibit the voluntary employment agencies, which were it the service of non-union and union labor alike. Fhe Supreme Court holds this law to be unconstitu- jonal: The court says: “It is now well settled that he pri ge of contracting is both a liberty and a sroperty right. Liberty includes the right to make ind enforce contracts, because the right to make and mforce contracts is included in the right to acquire wroperty. To deprive the laborer and employer of his right of contract with one another is to violate h:e constitution, which provides that no person hall be deprived of life, liberty or property without lue process of law.” ' The quotation is from both the Federal constitu- ion and the State constitution of Illinois, the same | yrovision being in both instruments. But there is 10 doubt that denial of the right of contract has a Federal remedy, to be supplied by the courts of the Jnited States. The individual whose property rights re taken from him by denial of the right of contract s-entitled to the protection of the Federal Govern- nen?, which is that whole force of organized society vhich Cardinal Gibbons says is bound to protect the 1on-union laborer in the enjoyment of his natural ights. _We repeat, it seems strange that the seli-evident ights of property were ever denied in this country. 3ut the denial was impinged upon other questions, : o that it was obscured. It is well that the Cardi- 1al and the court revert to primordial principles and ssert 1h.cir vitality. 2 e et o s e As 2 result of the tour of the Liberty bell to Mas- achusetts a movement is now on foot to tote Ply- nouth Rock around the country on a visit to all of he larger cities. This is another example of the watriotic foresight of the Pilgrim Fathers in select- ng a rock that was portable. Six hundred young Mormons in Brigham City, Jtah, have been threatened with excommunication or patronizing a dancing pavilion conducted in oppo- -iticn tp one owned by the church. This is enough o make Brigham Young’s bones rattle a fit on the oor of his coffin. A San Francisco policeman is figuring in the role f a modern miracle worker. Upon his attempt to trest a lame beggar yesterday for asking alms the itter not only arose from the sidewalk, but cast side his crutches and proceeded to “mix it” with the opper. to imitate the children who sit down by a hole in the ground and call for the doodle bug to come out. As The Call is classed with the great order of ignorami onu this subject we take occasion to say that we did | not attempt to classify or describe German or any other breed of socialism, but merely noted its gains, ;ils startling and encouraging gains, in the elections to the German Reichstag. At the same time we called on American socialists to pool their issues and elect a Representative to the American Congress in | order that this country may get an authoritative, of- | ficial definition of what socialism is. Its Oakland | organ, though moved to mirth at the ignorance of | others, does not define its doctrine, but leaves the | poor, ignorant ‘Call where it found it on that sub- | ject. True, it says: “If you are to grant that there }musl be such a thing as the modern workingman, | then you must grant that this workingman will ex- | press himself politically in some way or other, and | such expression will constitute the political strength }nf the laboring classes, and will be what is called | socialism in some form or other.” | Now that is as plain as abracadabra. It is as illu minative ‘of the subject as a black cat in a tar barrel. We understand the whole subject now, if that be the When workingmen express them- elves, that is socialism! But who are the working- {men? Are they only the manual workers? That in- | cludes the skilled and unskilled, and eight millions of | farmers in this country. What do we get from their | | expression at the ballot-box? They do not all vote | | the same way. We find them voting the Republican, | | whole subject | | st ‘Demncram: Populist, Socialist and Prohibition | tickets. They are many men of many minds. But | they are not all the workingmen. Nearly all men | work. The dignity of mental toil is equal to that of | manual toil, and when we turn to the mental toilers | lowa, having practiced his profession with success, though for years without sight. Wirt’s description American classics. The Federal Senate and House of Representatives each had a blind chaplain until the recent death of Rev. Mr. Milburn. But the adult blind must be taught again to walk, to feed and dress themselves, and are compelled, as recent immigrants to a datk world, to begin life over again. For them the home in Oakland is es- tablished. Though treated grudgingly by the State, it has become the leading institution of its kind in the world, and the methods of its development are being studied by other States and by foreign coun- tries. It is of supreme interest to all humanitarians that it has been put foremost.of its kind by the energy and genius of a blind superintendent, Mr. Joseph Sanders, and that his success has directed the attention of the world to the fact that such an in- stitution is best managed by a blind man. In this way he has pioneered in opening a carcer to those whose misfortune he shares. Humanity has taken his example, and everywhere such institutions are being made independent of politics and are inviting to their management competent blind men. The di- rectors at their recent meeting unanimously elected him to another full term of four years, and now the State should consider and liberally supply the needs of the institution which he has made an example to the world. This State has quite an unusual percentage of adult blind citizens, due largely to the accidents caused by our use of explosives in mining, building roads and quarrying. The home has not a present capacity capable of caring for half of them. When admitted they are taught the blind trades and are happily naturalized into the dark world they are to inhabit. we find the same diversity of expression that, accord- ing to the critic, is socialism. If so, is it humane | and proper to gird at us for not understanding what | socialism is, and therefore confining ourselves to a; | conservative, mathematical statement that the Social- : sts, a German political party, gained so many seats in the Reichstag, and that the American sociglists | idly increasing their vote in the manufacturing | | | are rapi. States? | In the absence of any tune on the socialist organ | [ which others can hum we have a right to any defini- | tion of socialism that comes handy. It may mean | a plan for defying the law of gravity, by which men | can lift themselves over the fence by the seat of their | | trousers, economizing in gates and the hardware | necessary to hang them and fasten them. | | Or ‘we | may conclude that it is a scheme to do away with | work and permit every man to stew himself a rich‘\ brown in his own juice. Or, more soberly, we may | | conclude to characterize it as a plan to rebuild human | society on its diseases and its failures, rejecting its health and success as evils to be avoided. This is the opinion of it held by many, who, not being or- dinary editors, have taken time to examine it. Some socialists who have gone far into the sub- ject have been repelled by carrying the system to its {logical conclusion, as they see that conclusion, and { have withdrawn from it. Such have seen in it a plan to measure all men down to the capacity of the ’ weakest and least capable, and to create an artificial | system in which men will be absolved | | from the hardy exertion necessary to get on in the {world. Such students of the subject see in this the | disarming of man and his disqualification for main- | | tenance of the contest with nature, which is believed | to be the final cause of human progress. That view jof it presents it to the evolutionist as opposed to nature’s plan of life, and there be those who say | that if evolution is true socialism has no scientific basis. But, as far as we are concerned, all these things are the merest speculations, and they can be noth- ing else until the socialists themselves choose to en- lighten the world upon their scheme and its ex- pected results. They denounce the present system !and form of society as “capitalistic,” and desire to | abolish capital. Now, as a general proposition, | “capital” means property. The French socialists | | bdldly denounced property as robbery, and proposed | | to abolish property by confiscation and, penalizing | its ownership. When the American socialists. de- nounce “capitalism” do they mean what the French | socialists did when they denounced “propertyism” as a crime? somehow | | | | | i | | | | i Alired Knapp of Hamilton, Ohio, who is on trial | for the murder of his wife, appeared in court dressed in deep biack and wearing crape. Since he has con- fessed to the murder of five women, his period of mourning promises to be short. | =5t T synary institutions of a State is frequently un- wise and sometimes corrupt. In this State there are abundant examples of both. Party politics dictates the seizure of the patronage of public insti- tutions as part of the spoils of victory, and even | scholastic establishments do not escape the looting | process for party advantage. N The recent meeting and action of one board of directors of a State institution presented gratifying features in the form of a good example to all others. The California Home for the Adult Blind, in Oak- land, is intended as a mechanical training school and working home for the large number of our fellow citizens who_ lose their sight inadult age. That loss entirely incapacitates them for following any of their former occupations. It instantly obsoletes all knowledge, all the skill, all the experience that may have preceded the falling of that capital mis- fortune upon them. It is as if they were suddenly stricken out of life, as they knew it before, to be im- prisoned in a dark world, which they can know only by sound and touch. Only in recent years has appeared the knowledge of the great difference in condition between those who are congenitally blind or lose their sight in in- fancy and those who are stricken by blindness in adult age and after they have adjusted themselves on | the basis of eyesight. The juvenile blind, having en- A GOOD EXAMPLE. HE administration of the punitive and eleemo- R | said: Its management has been excellent in its economy and in the extension of its benefits to those who should receive them, and its ways may be profitably studied by those who are responsibfe for our other public institutions. It is a distinct credit to Cali- fornia. Report comes from France that the French artists and manufacturers hesitate to send their work to the St. Louis Fair because “America skillfully and eco- nomically uses ideas which originate in France,” and | because their work will be “shamefully copied and stolen on all sides during the exhibition.” This seems to be one of the penalties of genius, and the French artist and artisan would probably have to bear with it in any country that admires their work. While not a compliment to our creative faculty, there is no denying the tribute to American enter- rise. PRACTICAL CHURCH WORK. EV. H. ASTLEY PARRIS is a pastor of the ing in the Eastern cities of late and has stirred up something of a hornet’s nest by his frank state- ments concerning the methods of his work in the | islands and by saying: “We have been asked by churches and missionary societies if we did not wish to send missionaries to the Indies, and we have told them we did not. They come to us puffed up; they think they are a superior class; they patronize us; the people in the end are degraded rather than helped.” That and similar statements have startled the East and obtained for the Barbadoes pastor the attention he seems to merit, for according to his own account he is doing good work even if it be quite a peculiar one on the part of a man of his profession. He is quoted as saying, “The work with which I am con- them us nected stands for the only attempt at social or Te- | ligious democracy in the West Indies, and we are producing a class of men who every day show that they are fit for freedom.” That is clearly good work, but the point of interest | lies not in the results aimed at, for those are common to all churches, but in the methods which have been adopted by Mr. Parris and his colleagues. He states that when he first began to preach he told the natives not to steal and they would respond promptly enough, but when it became necZssary for them to get food they would steal it, and would .justify the act by saying: “God Almighty knows I have to steal in order to get enough to keep soul and body to- gether.” He found the women living in a state of concubinage and warned them against it, but they “What can we do? We cannot support our- selves and our children. We must depend on the men.” Facing that condition of affairs the preacher says: “I began to think that, aiter all, preaching the gospel was not enough to lift those people up. So after a while I abandoned preaching and began to grow more liberal and to see more humanity in God. We have been getting more and more liberal, until now I sup- pose we are called everything that is bad. And yet, while I could count a dozen churches that have been founded in the West Indies, in this great work of making men of the men we are practically standing alone to-day. The habit of all the religious bodies there has been a matter of tyranny, of holding men in bondage. We are opposed to this. W have two small churches--we call them churches for want of a better name—in which, for instance, we have no creed. We bind the people to no confession of faith, We don't even ask them to affirm a God. We ask them to come together for mutual help, for mutual elevation, for mutual contact, in which each fully re- gards the rights of nr‘other. That is all the religious part of it.” Having thus substituted the principles of self-help and mutual assistance for religious dogmas, the work of the Barbadoes Free Church goes on. It appears ‘to be doing well. Mr. Parris says: “When a man feels want pressing upon him he does not now go and steal food. He comes to the church bank and asks for a loan. The security is absolutely personal, and we have never lost a penny.” Evidently the pas- tors of such a church have little need for imported missionaries. They can hoe their own row much better if left to themselves in freedom to follow their own notion of how best to eradicate the weeds. of the blind preacher is one of the most charming of Barbadoes Free Church.
