Prof. Ely Says Whnl Is XihmIimI Is Net Socialism, lint Secial ltefbrni. Prof. Hichnrd T. Ely, or Jehns Hepkins I'niverslty, delivered" nn addiess in Hal Hal Hal timoeo, 011 Monday night, en "The .Strength and Weakness or Socialism," He began his address with the re mark that, while himself net a So cialist, he did lint think Hint nnv geed was accomplished by Indiscrimi nate attacks Usm Socialism." He held that the best method of dealing wllh Socialism was te examine It impartially, le recngulxe what geed there might be In It, and at tlie same tltne te ex-Kise these weaknesses which render It r.s a whole impracticable. 110 said mat "socialism, as a theory 01 in dustrial society, comprises reur elements: First, common ownership or tlie Instru ments or production; second, their man agement liy tint collective authority; third, the distribution of annual Income by collective authority; fourth, privote prop erty in income alone. He thought that anything Is Secialistic: which tended te the absorption or all industry liy the state. It was thus ossbIe le draw 11 sharp line be tween what is Socialistic and what Is non Socialistic or even anti-Socialistic. Free public schools, he held, were anti-Socialistic, because, in rendering tlie individual better ulile le adjust himself te the present social order, they strengthened this order and tended te avert Socialism. Passing ever te the streugth of Socialism, Professer Ely said that certain moral aspects of It were attractive, especially Its emphasis of au all inclusive brotherhood of man. The championship of the cause of woman, which had characteii7cd Socialism, was another strong point. Socialism also accomplished geml in teaching men te think socially and te leek at public quostlens from tlie stand point of the masses. Finally, in promoting udiKciissien of tlie funetionsel' government, It had led political economists te discrimi nate mete aivnrately than hereto herete hereto fero between the duties of the state, citv or nation and tlie industrial duties of prhate parlies. On the ether hand, Pi of. Ely claimed Hint no practicable plan for the icaliatlen of the SocJallstle ideal had overyet becnedanced. He held, furthermore, that it would be dangerous te liberty te hand ever our en tire industrial life te the control of the pub lic authorities. The dniiiliiationef -1 single principle In Industrial life, like that of pub lic aiitliei ity, would be dangerous te civil ization. After mentioning oilier weak nesses or Socialism, which led him te reject it, Prer. Ely concluded by saying that what was netsled was net Socialism, but social reform; net revolution but evolution along existing lines. stulllvan Hard ut Werk Training. Jehn L.

When the Inte David Themas, of Catasauqiia, llrst suc ceeded in tisliiganthiiicituceal for smelting iron ores away bad; in the forties, hematite ero could be mined and delivered at the furnaces here at $1.25 a ten, and ether ma terials correspondingly low. Tlie books of soine of the furnaces In this region show that iinlliracila coal cost them liefem the war only $1,75 te $2 a ten dellvered at their works, but coal com binations anil tlie excess!, e and Inordinate greed of the railroads changed all tills. These hematite ores iseiv cost Irem ?2.f) te $3 at the works. It is the supurinr quality of these eies which has given te tlie Lehigh iteus their high reputation for excellence as foundry Iren. Foimerly as high as three-fourths of lliese hematites and one-fourth of New Jeisey magnetics comprised the piovelllug charge or the furnaces, but the fierce com petition which has pi mailed In tlie markets lias made it necessary te use less ami less of these local ores, until new few furnaces are found here whicli use mero than one eno ene half, and many considerably less. During the past year large quantities of Lake Superior hematites have been hi ought here, yielding from sixty le smoiity-llve per cent, nt metallic iron, as against thirty-live te feity percent, us the yield of tlie local hematites.

An Inside History eflfmr It WesDrnricd nnd Hushed Through Cenurcss. Washington Dl.patch le the New Yerk Htnr. Sollclter-deneral Jcnks, who, according te a well-stlstalHcd rumor, Is shortly te be retired from his position and assigned te special duly en the tolephouo cases, Is iireuably ene of the best pleased men In Washington Inconsequence of the decision of tlie supreme court iilllrmlng the consti tutionality of what Is known us the Scott Chinese exclusion bill. The luslde his tory or the passage or that measure Is In teresting and has never yet been publicly told, ljite ene afternoon during ihe pro longed summer session or the last emi gres William I Scott suddenly Jumped ill the Idea that n rigid Chinese exclusion bill would be just the thing te sweep the Piicllle slates In the fall elections. Always quick In iiuttlng his Ideas inle practice, he started for the attorney gen eral's oillce le consult him. Mr. (larhind waseul of the city, and Solicitor (Icneral Jenks was the only eiUclal en hand. Tak ing him In tow the Pennsylvania congress man made Ter the state department, only te find that Mr. lUiyard was also out of the city. Still nowise daunted Mr. Scott celled for paer and pen and asktsl Solicitor Jenks te sit right down and draw up a bill whicli would eternally keep every China man out of the United States. Sitting down In ene of the ante-rooms of the state deMirtiueiit, Solicitor (Icneral Jenks, en ene half sheet of the blue weve English -luuiimiiu HiHr oiiecicii ny me state department, drew up the bill new known IIU tllfl Sliwtf lttttlb!..l, nnl With this In his -Misscssleu Iho Irrepres sible Pennsylvania!! drove nut te Oak View View te consult tlie president, lie found that Mr. Cleveland had gene te the Country club, a select roert lying botwecu Ills ew h place and Secretary Wliilney's suburban residence, '(Jriisslanils," whither Mr.Seelt followed him, and found Postnuister (Icn (Icn oral Dickinsen and President Cleveland tassliig a social evening together.

S(eaker Carlisle, McMIUIn, acting Iu the placoefMllls; Hiindall and ether leaders were seen nnd agrees! te let the hill, which thus apparently bore tlie approval of the presiuent, tlie slate department and the attorney general's oillce, go through by unanimous consent Iu the morning hour without reference te the cemmittee en for eign affairs. This plan w'ns carried out. The bill was read a llrst, second and third tlme and -tasscil Inside of live minutes. Secretary llayiinl, when he learned of It Inter was inrieits, but powerless. He ad mitted, however, that w hoever drew up tlie act knew hew te shape an exclusion bill. The supreme court has Just eiideised that opinion. Cheaper C'oke Wanted. I'rem the Philadelphia Prtw. Several weeks nge a reduction iu Iho freight 011 ceke was asked for, but the rail road cem-mulcs would net listen te tlie re quest. A petition was gotten up, and tills was treated the same way. A prominent railroad official told an Iren man that peti tions had no weight, foninybedy would sign them lust tu oblige a friend, and tlie best thing ferthe furnace men tnde would be for each ene le write a letter te the dlllereut railroad companies, asking them te make a reduction. The Heading people wme tlie II 1st te be approached, and tliey thought at llrst that the I reight was low enough en ceke new and, besides, if they would reduce the tells, It would have a bad ell'cct en anthra cite coal, as tlie moie ceke consumed Iho less anthracite coal would be used. A prominent Iren manufacturer 111011 hear ing this went around te see Mr. Hall, act lug general freight agent of tlie Heading company and seen changed his opinion. He said no mailer whether the tells en ceke urn reduced or net, 'ceke would he used and anthracite would also be re quired. Frem 0110-feiirtli te one-third of coke is new used and from two-thirds te three-fourths or anthracite, though Iu the ceke region all ceke is used, hut mixing tlie ceke with anthracite coal Increases the capacity or the furnaces. At the Heading's oillce it was said that a number or furnace men had been te sen them, mid they had prollercd them their support. If the ether companies- would act they would willingly make 11 concession. Pennsylvania railroad elllclals said they had been looking Inte fi eights 011 coke, hut bad dene nothing. They were greatly sur prised at tlie Heading's action, saying that the Pennsylvania railroad ceiniuinv had ulwiiys been willing te make a reduction iu the toils en coke, but the Heading would never de se, uud for thorn te take the Initiative was far out of the ordinary.
