Wnr DKNOUNC12 l'ATERNAL OO VISRN MKNTY During a recent period many of tho newspapers and magazines of tho United States, with some Europoan periodicals, as well as a largo class of politicians, bavo on oyory notablo occasion, when a new idea in legislation, political economy, or any varia tion In tbo conduct of governmental affairs, lias been suggested, not strictly In the old well worn rut, set up the familiar and un ceasing cry, "It Is paternal government," "It Is paternalism run mad." "It Is only a step from socialism and communism," and other similar expressions of rldiculo and contempt. It Is proper to dcslgnato a fovr of tbo leading public measures pro posod of lato years, which invariably brine' forth tho potential charge and familiar re frain, that they nro of a socialistic tendency and would, If adopted, surely lead to ruin and "paternal government." For Instance, Senator Blalt's bill which proposed (to dis tribute the "surplus" in tho United States Treasury among tbo several States of the Union In aid of the cause of public educa tion, seems to bo peculiarly obnoxious to many people In this respect. The fact that tbo Unltod States Government has practically uono mis very tiling many tltncsjand many years ago, by giving to tbo several States of the Union yast tracts of public lands and public land scrip, to aid and encourage tbo causo of education, appears cither to have been forgotten by theso anti-patcrnallsts, or else they regard It as not in point. But why is It not In point? It Is "on all fours" with It. At tho time when the United States Government gavo such liberal and lnvalu ablo aid to tho causo of public education In tho States, the newspaper press did not raiso tns cry or "paternalism run mad." JFIth hardly an exception the press wisely favored the necessary legislation. If the ucneral Government has surplus funds In tbo Treasury, It would bo interesting to bavo some able opponent of "natornallsm" point out cltbor an economic, a legal or a constitutional distinction between the past legislation of Congress on this subject of aiumg education, ana senator Blair's pro posed plan for tho distribution of tlie sur plus. I mean a distinction with a differ ence. Again, the bill for tbo proposed ostannsnmeni or a "rostai Telegraph sys- thm," to bo owned nd operated by the uovornment, brings forth the same Identi cal lamentations In an emphasized torm, be causo It Is plainly a stab at a big mono poy. It may bo observed, however, that, at the present time, there is an objection of some force to this Idea of having a Govern ment telegraph system. The"tox popull" Is to a certain degreo justified In declaring that if it probably would causo as much trouble and turmoil to fill the offices In the proposed telegraph system as It now does to nu tne postouiccs, then tho Govern ment should let It alono. Tho rriln ob jectlon is, that to make tho General Government do s; -h things "is to involve us in a sea of trouble and end In a cast- "on despotism," because of tho vast power which the control of the official patronage worlld clve to unscrnmilnus nollticlans. But tho remedy for this great administra tive evil is easy and slmule mako the "Civil Service Laws" as firm and inflexi ble as tbo United States Army regulations, and tho spoils system with its attendant train of evils, and the ot.ectlons to "Paternal Government" will bo Immenselv reduced. The nightmare of "a heavy cast- iron uespousra" win yanisn unaer com pleto "Civil Service Laws." that Is. un der a purified system of government, just as surely as nightmares will depart from tho vision of man when his physical sys tem Is made healthy and pure. H'o very much neod oducatlon on this feature of the administration of tho Government, and senator uiair's idea to educate the people, wnaa in tho right direction of a great puuuc neeu, wiietncr it ho practicable or not. And until "Civil Service Reform" becomes a genuine reality, the less legisla tion wo uaye oi tne so-called paternal tendency tho better, except It be In tho matter of more universal education. But just think how mauy things the Govern mont now does, and attempts to do, that nro of a much inoro "paternal" character than tboso aforesaid. For oxauiplo, collect ing prlvato debts for prlvato Individuals, and enforcing contracta between Indi viduals, oyon whether they be citizens or not, with all tbo power of the Government. It evon looks after the food and health of individuals, JJut I will not enlarge. Again, tho loudest shrieks against "paternalism" are heard when It Is pro posed to prevent tho formation and con tinuation of tho colossal monopolistic "trusts" or our day, by legislative enact ments, so as to crush out tboso semi-con spiracles and soulless entities organized contrary to we unwritten law or tho land, with vast aggregations of caDlt.il. con trolled by tho keenest and most unscrupu lous orains, ror tne avowed purpose c raising and maintaining tbo prices of the necessaries or life, of transportation rates and traffic generally, contrary to tho laws of supply and demand. It is urged that Bucn prouiouory legisiat'on is paternal, dangerous and impolitic, becauso it pre sumes to intoriere with private business enterprises. Do such objections constitute tho sort of statesmanship mat should bo encouraged, as wo draw near tho closo of the nineteenth century. In an ago of steam and electricity? I regard government as a quasi corporation established by mankind for the purpose of attaining a civilizing and moral object. One party decries It as teeming with mis chief to man. while another lauds it as the means by which he will attain his highest dignity and excellence But bo this as It may, society may tako such measures as seem fitting for the attainment of that which tho governing voice decides to be ror the good of tho greatest number. That tho suffiago of tbo majority Is by no means a scientific test of soalal good and oyll, Is unfortunately too true; but, In practice, It Is tho only test wo can apply, and tho refusal to abide by It means re volution or anarchy, Tho purest despotism that ever existed Is In Its Ideal historical conception as much based upon that will of the majority, as the republic of the United Btates, although It may not at first Diuiu seem so. law u tne expression or the opinion of the majority, and It is law, and not moro opinion, becauso the many aio strong enough to enforce it. I fortify mv views inter alia with Prof. T. II. Huxley's. Ho says: "I am as strongly convinced as the most pronounced individualist can bo, that it is desirabla that every man should be free to act In every way which do - not limit the corres ponding freedom of his fellow man. But I fall to connect that great induction of sociology with the practical corollary wh.ch is frequently drawn from It; that tho Stito .hat is, tho people in its corpor ate capacity has no business to meddle with anything but tbo administration of justlco and external defence It appears to mo that the amount of freedom which Incorpoi ate society may fitly leave toils members It not a fixed quantity to be de termined a priori by deduction fioui the Action called 'natural rights' i but that It xnrH bo determined by, and vary with circumstance. I conceive It to be de monstrable that t- higher and the more complex the organisation of the social I ly, tho rr ace closely Is the life of each rrembor bound up with that of tbfl whole; And the larger becomes the category of acts which c ,se to be merely self-regarding, and which irterfere with the freedom of others more or lew seriously." It has been repeatedly and plainly pointed out by tho profoundetl thinkers, that the steadily growlug and Irresistible tendency of modern civilisation Is towards decentra lisation, that is to say, towards democracy, which meant Paternal Government. lnded, n ay as well be said, that such Is not only tlm tendency of modern civiliza tion, but such lendoncy towardsdemocracy. Is clearly discernible in the history and evn'.tuion of ail civilizations, ancient or modern. Vigorous thought and enter piise, knowledge and invention, domina tions of genius and deyelopmnnts of governmental and social organizations, have become worm-wide growths; and no kind of progress. Intellectual, industrial, governmental or social, can !e kept within Its former narrow boundaries; it crosses the seas, It penetrates tbo mountains, geographical and political binndarlcs aro no longer obstacles to tho potential march of evolutionary progress In tho history of civilization. The world tbo wldo, wldo world- Is now tie true domain of know ledge; ond If each nation displays some f peclal capacities In somo special branch, tho various capacities of different nations compensate one another, and the advant ages which could be derived irom ihcm would he only temporary. The fine British workmanship in mechanical arts, the Yankee boldness for cleantlc cnternrlse. tho French systematic mind, and the German pedagogy, aro becoming Inter national capacities. It is needless to say, that these facts, with others, distinctly indicate a strong current, in a largo stream, towards decen tralization and n purer democracy: and that in the same ratio, all things being equal, Government everywhere tends to wards paternalism. And ir tno Ideal "Paternal Government" means, to more completely minister to the wants and needs of the people; why should It not be encouraged? .If it tends to do this, it is tho grandest and sublimcst Ideal to strive to get into practice. Woodrow JKIison on "Congressional Government," page 03, etc., emphasizes this tendency, by drawing a striking con trast between two seemingly opposing tendencies, to wit: between centralization and paternalism. Ho well and forcibly says: "Tliero are voices In the air which cannot bo misunderstood. Tho times seem to favor a centralization of Govern mental functions such as could not have suggested Itself as a possibility to tho franiers of the Constitution. Since tbey gave their work to the world, tho whole f aco of that world has changed. Tho Con stllutlon was adonted when it was six davs' hard traveling from Jfew Tork to Boston; when to cross East Blvcr was to venture a perilous voyage: when men were thankful for weekly malls; when the extent of the country's commerce was reckoned, not In millions, but In thousands of dollars; when the country know fow cities, and bad but begun manufactures; when Indians were pressing upon near frontiers: when there were no telegraph lines, and no monster corporations. Unquestionably, the Dress ing problems of tho present moment regard tuo regulation or our vast system of com merce and manufacture, the control of giant corporations, tho restraint of monopolies, the perfection of fiscal arrange ments, tuo facilitating or economic ex changes, and many othor like national con cerns, amongst which may possibly bo numbered the question of marriage and .1 1.. . r.A , 1. ..,.. . 1. 1.1 do not fall within the enlarged sphere of tno reaerai Government; some or them can be embraced within its jurisdiction by no posslblo stretch of construction, and the majority of them only by wresting the Constitution to strange and as yet un lmagined uses. Still, there is a distinct movement in favor of national control of all questions of policy which manifestly demand uniformity of treatment and power of administration such as cannot be realized by separate, unconcertcd action of the btates; and It seems probably to many that. whether by Constitutional Amendment, or by still further flights of construction, yet broader territory will at no distant day be assigned to tho Federal Government. It becomes a malterof the utmost Importance. therefore, both for those who would arrest this tendency, and for thoso who, because they look upon It with allowance, and not with positive favor, would let it run its course, to examine critically tho Govern ment upon which this now weight of re sponsibility and power seems likely to be cast, In order that Its capacity both for tho work It now docs and for that which it may be called to do, may bo definitely estimated." It may safely bo asserted that the ten dency of Gove-nment Is evervwhore to wards demo" acy more strongly than It eycr has been at any period ot tho world's history; but this tendency does not warrant the conclusion In that unqualified sense In which tho anti-paternal'st teach;-, tbo democratic maxim that that Govern ment Is best which governs least. It Is good democratic doctrine that least Gov ernmcnt Is best Government. This must not bo taken however, 'n an absolute sense, but it means least under the cir cumstances. If this were not so, that would be tbo best Gove lment which allowed every man to trample upon the rights and libcrt'es of other men; and the Ideal Government of democracy would be ono mat permitted all corts of wrongs and Injuries without a remedv. But what Is tbo difference In principle between such a Government and ono that permits individ uals or corporations to haiass and plunder tuo community turougu tneir control and management of such public concerns as are naturally monopolies? Whenever the alternative occurs, whether the people shall bo governed by individuals, or by thomselycB, tho vital principle of democracy comes forward and no matter what mere general rule of democracy adapted to other circumstances may iiavo prevailed and declares that tho people shall govern them selyes. But the opponents of so-called "Paternal Government," forget that democracy is based upon principles which must bo adapted to conditions, and not ua on Inflexible rules. They apply democratic rules a century old. to the conditions of to day, wholly Ignoring what tho majority of the people are becinnini: to see. that In ob serving tbo rulo, tbey repudiate the princi ple. W. fit. KAPSUEIt, BROADBRIM'S I Y. LETTER This week Columbia Collcgo unveiled a magnificent memorial window in its Library Hall dedicated to its first female graduate. No honor so distinguished has been paid to any lay member since its foundation, over a hundred years ago. Rare indeed are tho women llko Mary Parsons Ilankey; such a splendid combination of qualities is scarcely guaranteed to one In a hundred millions. She not only possessed the power of triumphing over all obstacles that stood In tho way of her advancement, but she accomplished tho most difficult tasks with out any apparent effort; and entering Columbia Colloge under protest from the faculty, haying hardly a friend In its ad ministration except the late President Bar nard, she lived long enough to see all preju dice vanish, and when at the bead of her class she stood beforo tho assembled thou sands to recelvo tho reward of her years of patient toll and study,tbere was no heartier yell ever beard from the assembled students than the Rah, Rah, Rab, C-o-l-u-m-b-I-a which greeted her. She stood first In Greek, Latin, Mathematics, Philosophy, Languages and tho Natural Sciences. She spoke and wrote with fluency French, German, Italian and Spanish. She was a splendid musician and thorough in drawing and painting, be sides being proflclont in mechaalcal draft ing In which she captured several prizes. She was blessed with excellent health and a sweetness of temper that never deserted her under the most trying circumstances. Nor was she one of thoso dry pedants who Is constantly poring oyer books, and who frowns down the sllgbeat amusement or relaxation as light and frivolous. She was a live girl full of fun; the life and the light of every company she was In. She loved walking, running, riding, and romp ing just as well as any one, and was never so happy as when she had a party of her young friends around her haying a good time. She was a thorough housekeeper in all Its details. She was the joy of her parents, the light of ber homo, and the idol of her friends, and hr untimely death by accident, shortly after ber graduation, left a blank that will scarcely be filled in this generation. For such an assemblage if the beatitudes there was no earthly j bonor that could be added except that of canonization, and ibis Columbian College conferred on their dead saint this week by placing In their library the memorial win- j dow which shall record the story of ber virtue and fame to generations yet unborn. It Is a hopeful sign for women everywhere, that ono after another the barriers aro be ing broken down which ignoranco and pre judice for ages havo reared against her advancement. The battle has been bitter and long, but tho right Is sure to win at last, and lot us hope that the day Is not far distant when wo shall have confidence enough In mothers, our sisters, our daugh ters, and our wives to trust them with that inestimable jewel tho franchise, which we now clve freely to natlvo rascals who barter It for rum or pelf, or to tho refuse hoidea of foreign nations who wou'd sell their birthright for a mess of potago. How do yon llko Chicago for, tho World's Fair? I expect you are all dying to ask. Well, my friend, If I must tell tho truth, wo aro not going into cxtacics over It. Chicago Is a very nice place. A very nice place, but it Is a thousand miles from New Tork. It will bo tho first time in tho his tory of World's Fairs, Philadelphia alone excepted, that a World's Fair has been held anywhere oxcept at the motropolls of tho nation. I do not say tho capital, but tho metropolis which New York is. In the case of Philadelphia the exhibition was exceptional, The Congress that proclaimed our Independence was convened there, and thero was tbo old ball where tbo Congress sat. Thero was the old bell that proclaimed liberty through all the land and to all tho inhabitants thereof, and then it was only ono hour and forty minutes from New York. Ilowcvor, If the thing Is flved irre vocably New York will do her share. It may not bo quite as grand as It would have been If tho fair had been held here, but there will be enough to make people rc- membor that there Is only ono Now York, Lent is or ought to be a season of spirit ual purgation and repontance, but from the signs, as a general thing, I regret to say, that the Gospel seed has not fallen on fallow ground. Tho theatres are flllod to overflow; tbey are marrying and bolna given In marriage. Balls, dances and con certs are crowded every night. Afternoon teas and literary matinees all tend to ban Ish from our thoughts the season of sack- cloth and ashes. As an excoptlon to this general carnival of sin, I am happy in be ing ablo to state there has been such rattling among the dry bones of Wall street as batb not boen seen In this gener ation. Wall atroct la not prolific of saints. but sinners do much abound, ane the crop Is great. The nearest tho Gospel ever got to IPall street was John street, and that Is several blocks away. There was a church onco on tho corner of Pine and Nassau streets, but the Government took it many years ago for a post office, and now It Is covered by tho splendid palaces of tho Now York Mutual Life Insurance Com pany. Only one church has been able to hold Its own among tbo bulls and the bears old orthodox Trinity, the Vatican of the Episcopal 'Church In America. As It is one of the oldest Episcopal churches in the land, so It is by far tho wealthiest. What its revenues aro is known only to the Board of Trustees, and to this day no offl- olal or political plummet has ever been able to sound them. It stands In stately mag nificence at the head of Wall, and looks down In solemn grandeur on tho money changers- All the week the Stock Board and the banks havo beon In a ferment trembling as a reed shaken by the wind at the volco of a now Evangelist; not new to th9 church, nor new to the religious world but entirely new to Wall street. For Bos ton knows him as well as the Old South spire. Phillips Brooks has been calling sinners to repentance all tho week, and If we may judge by the way tbey have crowd ed old Trinity day after day, the Gospel seed which he has sown has not'becn blown from the rocks nor devoured by the fowls of the air. Grave old bankers, chipper clerics, biaso brokers, who aro oftener seen at a dog fight or a scrapping match than prayer meeting, haye for tho time dropped all kinds of business to listen to the words of 'this graet preacher. So might Paul have roused the multitude at the foot of Mar's Hill, or John havo stirred to frenzv tho seekers after truth, by the waters of the Jordan. Time alono can tell what will be tbo spiritual aftermath; but for a time at least Brother Breoks has done ereat good I did not see Mr. Gould, nor Russell Sage, nor Addison Commack, nor eyen as ortho dox a christian as Cyrus Field, among the crowd. Air. urooks gave the public to understand that tho services wcro for sin ners, and that was possibly tho reason that this plutocratic quartette kept away. they wanted to give the slnnefa a chance. Notwithstanding their absence, thero were thousands thero who will see the camel pass through tho needle's eyes beforo they get by st, Peter at the gate. It Is wicked thought, I know, but sometimes I wish I was ono of those fellows, for whom St. Peter Is constantly keeping bis weather eye open. news has como to ns from across the sea that Scovllle, tho tenor, who married Fuggy Rosevelt, has developed into plunger at Jlfonto Carlo, and has busted all the banks, some say for sixty thousand dollars and others for a quarter of a mil lion. I remember Scovllle several years ago as the favorite tenor of a fashionable up-town Episcopal church, at which the lato Judge Rosevelt was a regular attend ant, and, If I mistake not, ono of the vest ry. His only daughter, Puggy, as she was affectionately called, was not blessed with what tho world calls beauty, but she had many lacs of rupees which moro than com- peuiated for the absence of feminine at tractions. Scoyllle was ono of thoso church singers who, having a fine voice and an agreeable presence, traveled on his shape. Puggy fell desperately in loye with him, and ho fell desperately In love with Peg gy's millions. They went to Europe os tensibly to perfect Scovllle's musical edu cation, but if the late accounts be true, be Is more likely to distinguish himself as a gambler than a tenor. Mrs. Scovllle, nee JIss Rosevelt, la a good wife and an affec tionate mother, devoted to her two really beautiful children. Let us bopo that the reports aro not true. Mr, Sbovllle has money enough and has no need to gamble. If ho has done so, tho best thing he can do is to cry a halt. Few men over get rich at gambling, and If they do, It Is always at the price iof somebody's else's rain. To tbe-tlgbt-about face, Mr. Scovllle; let Monto Carlo alone, and deyote yourself to the cultivation of your voice, to jour wife and your babies. You may not win fame as a plunger that way, but you will live and dio an honest man, which you cam never do by bucking "tho tiger at Monto carlo. Last week In Brooklyn a widow by the name of Bollei, fat, fair and fifty-six, was married to a youth who Is serving on the schoolshlp, aged nineteen. No sooner was it known abroad that the marriage had actually taken place than the whole neighborhood was in an uproar. Gossips, with their bands rolled under their aprons, stood on the corners of the streets and j canvassed the mattor as If a cyclone had swept the town, or a dam had bursted; men congregated In the saloons, and oyer their beer and whiskey grew indignant at what they were pleased to call an outrage. It Is trne that the gay widow had two sons older tnan ber husband, and that the sons were going to kick up a row about It, but what of that? Sho loved her sailor boy and ho toyed her. There was not only a slight discrepancy of thirty-seven years In their ages, but qulto a difference In tbolr avoirdupois, the tipping tho beam at two hundred and thirty-five, and ho at one hun dred and twenty-six, hut Mrs. Bollcs lays he has not yet got his growth; let us hope so, that at least this difference may be equalized. It is only a few months ago since ono of the wealthiest merchants In this city, aged sixty-four, led to tho alter a charming young bride, whose ago was eighteen. Sitting In the pews were three of his daughters, the oldest thirty and the youngest twenty-five, and a ton thtrty-slx, with four grandchlldron. Nobody kicked np a row there. The girl's father gaye her away, and ber brothers and titters wished her God-speed, and overybody appeared to think that she had done exceedingly well, for he was rich and sho was poor, but her face was ber fortune. That was a clear case of bargain and sale. If tho man had not had money and position and a tne house, the girl would not- havo looked at him. But Mrs. Bollos' was a gonulnolove match. IHien Mr. Bollcs was on his way to the happy hunting grounds ten years ago, as tho end drew near, he looked np and said, "Tilly, do you love nu?" And the, like tbo affectionate wife that she was, replied, "John, you jest bet I dot" John was post all betting, but he accepted her assurance and sald.j'TUIIo, darling, you've been a good wlfo to mo; and if whon I'm gone you kin make any other feller as happy as you'yo made me, yon jest go an' do It, will you Til?" With her voice choking with emotion, the replied, as sho wiped her eyes with the corner of her apron, "Yon jest bet I will. John. Haye you any objection cf he's young? she murmured. "Not in the least," ha grasped., "Go It Til, go It." And sho did. And that's all thore is of it. I am, yours truly, BROADBRIM.
