MONDAY FEBRUARY 24th 1890, THE fact that the socialist vote at the last elections in Germany slowed an increase of 20,000 in Berlin alone over those recorded at the last poll is It shows that the the people are gradually awakening to fact that the population of a country does not rightly exist. for the maintenance of enormous armies a glittering court and a section of the population in idleness and luxury.
If we understood the term socialist it applies to those who see the hollowness and injustice of the system. They are agitating for reform in the internal monagement of their countries, and one of the first necessities in their eyes is that the legions of soldiers should be disbanded who are kopt in training, and in consequence nonproducers, in order that crowned heads and governors of countries shall be in a position to gratify their ambition by hurling one mass at the othor, Of course until thero is a sufficiently strong body, in cach" country to insist that this reform shall take place all maintain nations are compolled to armies and navies for self protection. England for instance that has 'no thirst for territory. except which is forced upou her by nocessities. Tho occupation of is mainly due to necessity, she is under of protecting highway to India, the Suez.
Canal: The work before the reformers is an arduous one, and will take many years get to accomplish, but in days of the printing press and those consequent enlightenment of the mass of "the people, events follow on one. another much than of yore. Reformers, more rapidly however, can "do much useful work in their spectivo countries short of attaining the that at which thoy aro aiming. as goal at which we a have pointed out They will without doubt as a first step do away with hereditary legialators, in this decade of the nines onth century it last is too' outragoous a system to continue. It the is fact uttorly illogical to suppose that from of a man being the son of his father he is fitted to make laws for the intelligence government of of his country, The growing the people will lead them to insist upon the abolition of our House of Peers and similar institutions in other countries, That a second House is use 8 8 8 8 8 1.

CIVILITY, CLEANLINESS AND ATTENTION, I we are' ready to admit, but this House should consist of men who have been tried in: the political furnace and not found wanting, That there have alwaye been, Incl of high ability and intogrity in this House of Lords is no argument for its continuance, aside irom the appointments made to it of brilliant men from time to time it: is that its members might all be men of within the range of probability low mental and moral calibre. The fight which labor is making at the present time to rise above the thraldom of capital, is evidence of growing intelligence, and is one feature in the socialist's programme, we use the term as synonymous with roformer. There aro always extreme men, and they are mostly of small mental capacity, who are given to talking nonsense and thus bringing their fellow workers and their cause into disrepute. The ranks of the latest order of reformers have not been free from those men and have given their opponents many oppor tunities of ridiculing them as a body, the most powerful weapon of attack, Those who are watching current events caunot doubt: for one instant, but that the materials are fast being accumulated for the compelling of reform, Some bloodshed must result in the meantime, crowned heads in order to divert the attention of their subjects from social reform will enter upon war with one or other of their neighbours, bnt it is very, questionable whether tho. people will be so casily as formerly diverted from their object.
It is quite as' probable that they will take the opportunity to rise and hurl those from power who refuse to grant them the rights and privileges which their growing intolligence teaches them they are entitled to. This to our mind is the solution of the question of the long continued maintenance of peace in Europe, Reforms in a free country like England can be brought about. at the ballot box, but in those which are despoticully governed the process will be a longer one, and lead to horrible bloodshed.
