In the Democratic Siaie Convene tlona of New York. .Maryland and Indiana Mr. Bryan’* candidacy war favored, but no approval wan expremed of the Chicago platform.

SOCIALISM! THEORY AYI) PH At - TH E. Socialism I* bmtlful In theoty. Fnd r It each individual ha* equal lixthts, equal Advantages, equal work and equal p operty with every other Individual. Given a pencil and a piece of paper, any enthusiastic, so cialist can demonstrate Just, how to inako all mankind happy through an equal dis tribution of the burden* and luxuries of life. There are no problems- too abut ruse to be worked out U autllull.x < n piper. Mr. Bellamy’s book didn’t have a Haw iu It. Everything moved as by clockwork, and everybody was contented If not posi tively huppy. But when it conns t tut ting soctullsm Into practice, there’s tii • rhb. Numerous attempt* In that direction have Ixern made. As yet the first success 1* to be chronicled. Heveral years ago a number < f colonists from the Northwest came to Ge rgl.i with a well worked-out plan socialism In mind. They secured a tract <*; giynl land near Columbus, founded a co-lony upon the 00-operutivr plan ami start'd in io give a practical lllus r.uicn of their theory. The colony was named Common wealth. A school was established, and n blacksmith shop, printing office ond wood working shop were set up. Faun* were l.ii I off and orchards were planted. The grounds were Intelligently tilled, good crops followed, and the enterprise seemed in a fall* wuv to be successful. Ther. w.i ; harmony and good fellowship among the membership of the community for u whi'o. At length, however, dLaenslons arose. Borne of the members of the co o iy claim ed that certain other* were arriwuidqg t themselve* too much authority; and not only that, but were getting mote if ih* benefits of the united efforts of th% • m munlly than the complainants. The dis pute became bitter, and ugly charges were made. Finally the dhsktistb and ele ment tiwk the matter into court, .olein ; for a receiver for the colony* and a di vision of the assets.• That was about n year ago. The application for a re.- tver was dismissed, but the pdson of dissen sion had done it* work. The colony ha* not flourished since. A gentleman of Colum bus who has recently visited Common wealth *aye that he found “the men 1! idles sitting about the house* In risking chair*; the orchard* and Held* grown up in grass and freed*, and not an acre “f cotton or com on the place. The only thiug in cultivation was a patch of p #> There are now- only about twenty-live or thirty persons at the place, and some of (Item are preparing to leave. It is unde *- stood that Rev. Ralph Albertson. th practical leader of the movement, is rr ranging to leave *oon. The county school authorities ore thinking xf dcon;lnutng the school there." There wns no fault of soli, or ol mi . attuatlon. The dlfllculty was that the founder* ol th* colony tried to acc. mplish the Impossible; that is. to harmonise >'l--- cordant human nature, to make a numbsr Of Individuals of differing cnpaclllcs. laslcs mid temperaments conform l 1 ' n ' set rule of conduct. That men are not "created equal" Is the great stumlMnft block tn the way of -ill socialistic experi ments. And until It 1* pottstbl* to evolve a race o< men each Individual of which will be endowed with tho sumo amount ot brain, and brawn and public spirit, U will be Impossible to put socialism Into successful practice.

THE MOKMNG NEWS: SUNDAY,’ JUNE 10. 1900. “WHAT HAS BK4 OMB OF HEUd” I'nder the title quoted above the Rev. George W Shinn, D. D.. dle.dsses in the N -i*th American Review the doctrine of futijie punishment as It is being taught from ihe pulpit and in religious publica tion at the present time. Not so much I* beard of hell from preacher or preys now cu- formerly. Indeed, it is seldom mer.- ikvm-d in .some pulpits, and when refer cr;f e Is made to hell it I* simply by w ay of expressing an intermediate iitk of the soul after dc-oth. There is never any fire and brimstone about it. No rhrleking de mons wleki pitchforks among the lost, or roast them upon gridirons. The supreme pirit of hell Is no longer pictured with hoof and horns and a spear-pointed tail. . buckling iu giee as he direct* his imps to pour molten lead over the newly* ar rived dinner by way of initiation lnro the on gre gat ion of the damned. Ail of th. foregoing figure* ond many others of their kind were made very fa miliar by preacher* and exhorters forty or tifty years ago. No sermon was cons id- > •-red complete until a fearful word-picture of th< horrors and torments of hell had drawn, and the sinner had been duly i warned that such sufferings must lnevlt nbly be his fate exJept he repent and con form to the requirements of tho church, i Human ingenuity was let loose upon the Invention of descriptions of the torments if if)#* damned which It was believed to be Impossible to exaggerate. When words and similes had been exhausted. It was -ivlkved that but a faint idea of the terri il n -of the condition of the lost had been given. Borne prea hers, among them Jonathan Ediaards, acquired such power „( description of the place of eternal fire arid brimstone that men cried out In hor ror in the midst of the sermons. These were Ideas of hell that obtained from the earliest periods of the Protestant churches up to within the memory of mid dle-aged persons of the present. "Now," says Dr. Shinn, “almost suddenly men have well nigh ceased to talk about it. li has cf-ascd to be urged as a rnotivo for good living In this life, and men are not told to prepare themselves here to avoid it there In the future. In other words, there has been, If not an actual denial of hell, a very thorough change of em phaeis.” And Dr. Bhinn believes that the pulpit has lost some of Its power because It . o .seldom appeals to healthy fear. The movement “for the dissolution of hell,” Dr. Shinn says, actually began about the year 1770, with the planting In this country of the Unlversallsta, who antagonised tho intense views held by the old Calvinists. When Henry Ward Beech er came along he found conditions ripe for a revulsion from certain religious theories, and he, It has been said, did more fhan any other man in the country to changs the style of thinking of many preachers and laymen who admired him. They began to see that the figurative lan guage of the Bcrlptures had been taken literally, translated into the grossest ma terialism, and then added to tintll it* very extravagance suggested revolt. "But when the revolt came, those who would get rid of the materialistic view of hell have so completely* explained away all of ihe figurative language In which reference la made to hell In the Rcrlptures that noth ing la left." Jn other words, "because they objected to the view* held, they have tried to deny the reality back of even the llgumttve hums in which that reality was set forth ", Thus, from their standpoint, bell has lost Its terrors. What has be- come of hell? I>r. Bhinn defends the reality behind the figurative spoeel\. "Let ns grant that the descriptions of hell are figurative. Let u's admit lhal men have blundered 111 accept ing as literal what was Intended to lie llgurativo. Let us grant that there Is no in uetlul luko of torment. Yet, afler all, Is there not something back of the Im agery? Is there not something real—so real that men may well strive to- escape it? Fan It be well with him who posses hence in his sins?” The law of retribu tion. he says, is Inevitable. We see It every .lay in this life. It is one of tile first Impressions received in Infancy, and as we grow- older It becomes firmly and posi tively fixed in the mind. We know that violations of file laws of nature or of the statute laws are followed by punishment. Likewise sin is followed by punishment. No man can satisfactorily answer all ot the questions relative to the future Htale. But "we do know that there Is retribution for sin for sin unrepented of and unfor glven. If we imiss hence with a load of Bin, judgment must surely follow us wherever we go." A I.OFAI. OPTION PLANK. The wisdom of attempting to put a local option plank in the platform of the Demo. • •ratio party of this state Is questionable. It Is prohahle thnt the effort would be stoutly resisted, and while It might suc ceed, the chances are that It would be productive of a good deal of dissatisfac tion In the party. It Is well understood now that local op tion Is the policy of the party. When the local option law was enacted that under standing was reached. It Is doubtful If the sentiment In favor of prohibition Is as strong nnd as aggressive now ae It was a couple of years ago. I would not require much ugltatlon, however, to make It verj aggressive. The prohibitionists at present seem dis posed to let well enough alone. They arc not satisfied with local option, but tlWv lire wise enough to see tha more h is been accomplished by means of It for the' cause of tcmiierance than by either the dispensary system or prohibition. The dispensary s> stem has proven to he a tallure, and 11 Is well known that In Maine, where there has been a prohibi tory law for many yrars, liquor Is sold openly In the towns. While, therefore, the prohibitionists are apparently willing that the liquor questkai shall he dealt with by means Of local option. It Is prob able that they would at once become ex tremely active tu the Interest of a gen eral prohibition law If an nttempt were made*tO git the Democrat!.* parts to take additional affirmative action In behalf of local option. The fact must n<4 he overlooked that more than a hundred counties have adopt ed the local option law. and that tn nil of these counties the people are practical ly prohibitionists. In the liquor licens ing counties there ts a strong minority of prohibitionists. The prohibitionists, there fore. nre In a position to pus up a pretty lively tlglu If they were to be antag onised strong v, they might mike politi cal combinations that' would be hard o beat. There ha* as >et been no authoritative statement that there is a purpose to get the Democraeic State Convention to de clare for local option, and It may be that 1 there ts no intention to do anything of the kind. The wiser piau ts to let the matur reel where It la. Ther<? are only about two dozen con test* over the seating of delegations that will come before the Philadelphia Con ventlon. Ail of thesf- are from the South. In a real good year, from th- standpoint of the Southern Kepu dwjn delegate, there is usually a content from every district. But this year, with the nomination of Mc- Kinley a foregone conclusion, thete "not much business doing" among dele gates. The contests ar< of course, mere ly for the purpose of tiring recognition, so that In the event o: Republican victory •he successful delega **s can put In a claim for patronage. Some time ago, by the way, it was proposed by National Committee man -Payme that the negro delegation be excluded from the convention. That prop osition, however, is not likely to be heard of again soon, since Chairman Hanna Is not favorably disposed towards it. The* Bt. Louts strikers nave adopted a unique and dcttpicable mean* of prevent ing women from riding on the street cars. They have mobbed and denuded several women, for no other reason than that they made use of a public conveyance that is Wider the ban of the strikers’ displeasure. The outrages have served the double pur pose of humiliating the victims of the at tacks end warning ail other women of the city that they might expect to have their clothes torn from their bodies in the pub lic streets if they dared exercise their right to buy transportation from the street car company. Such outrageous acts will have the effect of turning public opinion against the strikers.

The Nashville American (Dem ) says; "Mr. Gorman struck the keynote when he said the character of the campaign de pends upon Mr. Bryan. Mr. Gorman may express his views, and Senator Hill moy express his views, and both are men of keen perceptions, capable of easily han dling large questions, but. after all Is said and dene, the 'character of the campaign depends upon Mr. Bryan.' Bryun has more at stake than any other one man. The highest office in the gift of the people Is his or Is not his. In our opinion, accord ingly as he makes the platform on which he ts to vLnduct his campaign.” The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.) discussing the outcome of the Oregon elec tion. says: “It is useless to moralize on Ihe result. The country is for expansion. This Is clearly indUuiyd In th* tlrst state tn which the issue has he*n squarely test ed. Will the Democrats be so foolish as Io insist on repeating this test at the presi dential election. Instead of refusing to sur render to the Republican* the old-time Democratic policy of expansion and mak ing their tight on the Republican*' admin istrative abuses of that policy?” The Cincinnati Enquirer (Demi says: "Wharton Barker has accepted the Mlil die-of-lhc-Road nomination for ('resident, and will dbiibtless keep right on. looking neither to the right nor tile left. Some of those things, though, which lie may regard us mere side issues may turn out to b* th* principal matters of considera tion. Circumstances frequently beat con ventions hi wilting platforms.” The Baltimore Sim (Dem.) says: "The Republicans are fast reaching the polni when a 'Billion-Dollar Congress' will t* regarded as an economical body, and Biaion-and-i-ILlf statesmen will be the rule, rather than the exception. The peo ple are not llkel> to overlook the fact that the money which Congress ts spending with such lavish hand Is taken from their pockets by a *yst(m of excessive taxa tion.” The Chattanooga .

Mr. Winston CharehllTa AVIt. Winston Churchill, the son of the late Randolph Churchill, is a young man of extraordinary energy and assurance, os his recent adventures in the Transvaal amply attest, says the Golden Penny. He i* blho possessed of an innate humor, which manifest' itself occasionally, to the entertainment and delight of his friends. Borne time ago Mr. Churchill and his com rades-in-arms met at a supper. Among the assembled officers was a very pom pous, self-opinionated major, whose rank commanded for him a respectful heating, but whose habit of instructing his brelh ren in matters militarj*. both in and out of season, made him rathrr unpopular. Churchill and the aggressive mijor tat side by side at the table, and the mar tial potentate voiced his opinion* in Ills usual manner. Ohurchill bore the inflic tion dumbly for a season; then, taking ad vantage of a pause, when the major want ed to take breath, he said, vefy compla cently and irrelevantly: "Do you know*, major, I’met a man this morning who would gladly forfeit £SO lor the pleasure of kicking you.” "Kicking me. sir!" roared the angry major. "Kicking me! I must ask you to men lion his name immediately." "But, the fact is. major, I am rot sure that I ought to tell you," replied Chureh-g ill. with well-assumed caution. "But I Insist upon knowing h!* name at once, sir!" shouted the truculent offlear, now re*i with rage. "Well. sir. I suppose I muM tell you.

McNally isn't flokle; tie's attached to Dewey still; He says he loves him dearly, and he swears h always will; And when it was announced, at Casey's bar. the other night, That Dewey’d run for President. Mack opened up the light. He climbed upon a table and he said 'twas very plain That Dewey'd reed an oralor to manage his campaign. And added (hat they'd be surprized, he didn't doubt, to hear, That Dewey'd wired him to know If he'd electioneer. He said that he'd accepted, and that he was there tot tell Of things that Dewey’d do, for everyone who served him well. He said that he was authorized to say, that every vote They polled for him. would bring them tn o twenty dollar note. He said that Dewey counted on the Irish, one and all. That hts Inauguration meant the British bullies' fall. He told them Dewey'd promised him to set old Ireland free. And uniform. In green, th* jolly tars on every sea. He e.iid there'll be no taxes levied on the \liquor trade; The hottest suue of summer would be fifty in the shade; And three time*, every day. there'd be served, free, a templing lunch At every barroom in the land, with bowls of Dewey punch. McNally paused to take a drhik. he c.ift his eyes around To see If he and Dewey had been gain ing any ground. But -oid to siv lie noted, that Instead of reuing cheer*. the gang responded to hi* speech with epithets and Jeers. He noticed, too. thnt Fasey failed to pass ■wound the drinks. And caught the member* of the gang ex changing furtive winks. And then It Hashed upon him that Instead of proselytes. He stood surrounded by a gang of rabid Bryanites. Th* content* of the room they hurled at poor McNally's head; And from o score of ugly wounds. Mc- Nally freely bled; They .Fagged him from the table, and with him they swept the floor. And then they took him bodily and pitched him through the door. McNally gathered up himself—as much a* he could find— And crawling to the barroom door he thrust aside the blind. He swore at them; he shook hi* (tot. said he: "Ted hist raplni. F-r Oi'll be boss srr this praclnct. whin Dewey'a Prl.Wlnt.” —Lawrence Pore her Hext. ITEMS OF IXTEHEST. —The locomotives on the Northern Pa cific Railroad are equipped with electric headlight*, and Incandescent lights are also provided on the under side of the run ning boards and beneath the boiler, thus enabling the engineer ond fireman to ex amine any part of tbe machinery with ease. -—One of the interesting pieces of ap paratus recently shown at the Royal So ciety Soiree, at London, was a *iock which was controlled from a distance by means of wireless telegraphy. The rg nals were transmitted by Hertz wave*, and there was a short vertical wire, h coherer, relay and locaJ battery, which worked the mechanism of the clock. U was stated that wiih the use of a stand ard pendulum and thl* opporatu*. ail the Hock* in a town would be kept alike without the use of w*ires. —lncreased interest is bdng manifested in electrical works In Spain, and a com pany has recently been formed by Conti nental capital to utilize the power cf :i w*aterfall Of Cos Id as do Reyes and furnish llfcht to a number of towns in the vicin’.ty. One thousand horse-power is generated at this cataract, and Is transmitted to various distances up to twenty-six ki o meters. The machinery used is French, the copper employed in the conductors come* from France and Germany, while the lamp* are mostly of Budapest manu facture. —MM. H. Moissan and P. Lcbau have re cently announced to the Aeademle <3es Sciences in Pari* that they have sucJeeded In obtaining anew gaseous substance, per fluoHde of sulphur. The new* gas is color less, odorless, tasteless and incombusti ble. It solidifies at a temperature of 55 degrees Centigrade, forming o while crys talline mass, and at a slightly higher tem perature it liquefies and boils. Most of ihe properties of the new gas are similar to those of nitrogen. It is but slightly solu ble in water, and more fo in alcohol which has been boiled and deprived of all water. —The banana plant is remarkable as yielding under similar conditions of cul tivation forty times as much as the po tatoes and one hundred times as much as wheat for the same amount of land. The fruit has also great nutritive quali ties on account of the large amount cf saccharine substances which it contains, these forming 22 per cent, of its composi tion, while there is also 72 per cent, of water and 2.14 per cent, of nitrogenous matter. In Mexico it is stated that on? hectare of land planted w*lth the banana will yield food for 150 men, w*hile the same territory planted with wheat wotild fur hlab food for but six individuals. —A novel form of electrically heated soldering iron is being used In Germany, in which ihe copper of the iron is heated by means of an electric arc in a closed cy linder, and the same arrangement has also been applied to flatirons. In the sold ering iron there is a cylinder of wood which carries nt one end the soldering Iron itself, while at the other there is a receptacle for the carbon. The arc is formed between the carbon and the cop per. and the consumption of the carbon ik said to be small on account of the are being enclosed. From four to five amperes of current are used nt a pres sure of from tweny-flve to thirty-five volts. —There has been constructed at Port land, Ore., a dredge of novel design, which Is to be used In gold mining along the beach at Cape Nome. Alaska. It is to work from the mark cf low tide to water of ten or twelve feet <leptfy, onl rests on large rollers, so thot its position may be readily changed. These rollers are mount ed on three vertical shafts, nnd these shaft* can be adjusted so as to keep tho platform carrying the machinery always level and above water. The power is fur nished by a gasoline engine, and operates a chain of bucket*, which ar*' capable of excavating to a width of twenty-five nnd a depth of six feet. The gravel is raised to a platform, where there is m i - which throws out the coarser par ticle* and passes the finer grains to fluted copper plates, on which the gold is saved by amalgamation through a shaking pr reclprocoflng motion. —A few weeks ago a preliminary te?t was made of the gTeat telescope at the Paris Exposition, and the results are Raid to at least equal. If not surpass, the pre dictions of Its designers and makers. In an observation of the sun it was possible to see the movements of flame which have up to the present time only b on visible as coronal excrescences durlna un eclipse. It Is also state! that the moon appears as nt a distance of only fifty miles, nnd that craters of 500 meters in diameter are clearly visible. The tele scope, which differs from the usual type In being fixed' tn horizoma! position ard having the light from the heavenly bogles reflected Into it by a moving mir ror or *iderosta/t, is locaied in a build'ng near the Eiffel tower. This building con sists of a long gallery, containing the tube of the Instrument and connectin'; two amphitheaters, In one of which is lo cated the stderostat. and in the other an auditorium where photographs taken with the special lens of the telescope ore thrown on a screen. The greatest care has to be exercised In using tbe tele scope, and in the observations made on the sun the precaution wns takeruof lim iting the duration of Ihe observation, as it was feared the heat would deform the glass. —Marconi received two patents for wire less telegraph apparatus on M y 22. The specification* state thnt experience lihs shown that the aerial conductor s• metim become* charged wilh atmosphe-lc elsc trteify. end when the same conductor is used- both for transmitting and receiving, this electricity discharge* through ihe operator when he shifts the conductor from the transmitter to the receiv. r. or through the coherer when Ihe conductor I* shifted from one instrument to ih other—thus either giving a shock o De operator or injuring ihe coherer. To ob viate this, th* aerial conductor Is Ird iu close proximity to cne terminal of n soirk ing apparatus; and if Rhumkorff roil or transformer la used, the a rial cr.du - tor can thus discharge itself by the sm 1! spark gap io earth ihtough the secondary winding, thereby preventing Ihe no muhitlon of atmospheric electricity in it. To this end the arm cf the t:on>-m!:Ung key tn prolonged beyond Its pivot, nn 1 carrle* an Insulated terminal which is permanently connected to the atrial con ductor. Below thla terminal iheie is cn the base of the instrument the te mic 1 of the receiver. The arm is so m range 1 that tffimediately it Is released ty the rper il tor after sending a message. It tur a about on ll* pivot and thus connects ihe receiver to the aerial conductor. —ln a medical Journal an article is de voted to feminine folly as exemplified in the use of clothlrs at this season of the year.
