two members of tho legislature of
one or two states. Even these vic
tories were speedily lost and the
pnrty has now no political represen
tation anywhere It is not a politi
cal factor at all, and there are no
indications that it ever will he. The
Socialist would proudly reply that he
cured nothing fcr the oillces, and was
moi'sly contending for principle. Of
coui'3c, if he docs not scoK the ofilces
he i3 not in politics at all, and he is
therefore only an Idealist. Like all
radicals he forgets that he is simply
an advance agent of tho great mass
of humanity and that, as such, he
can not force that mass to follow
him. He may think he can "blaze
the way," but it is likely that many
generations will come and go with
out ever teaching a place sufficiently
advanced to discover the "way that
has been blazed." The whole world
is ,certalnly advancing along social
istic lines but so slowly and safely
that they scarcely recognize it. Nor
is it at all likely that the dream of
Socialism, however vividly told, or
brilliantly depicted, will hurry the
slow march of tho ages. It lias taken
many hundred years to get tho good
we have and some of us would be
glad if we had more and could get
many times what we have, all at
once. But the m.sus the power
the army of humanity do not see it
that way. There is no more danger
that the Socialist party will win than
that the streets of Marshflcld will
pave themselves automatically.

TIIK DREDGING OP COOS DAY.
The report of the committee of
tho Chamber of Commerce in regard
to dredging the Marshflcld harbor is
well worth the careful perusal of ev
ery citizen of Coos Bay and all others
who may bo interested In Coos Bay
and Its future. It Js a very encour
aging report, too, for It shows that
with a single dredge the private en
terprise of citizens will Improve the
harbor so that large boats can reach
the head of the Bay and Isthmus In
lto without delay. Already boats
drawing fourteen feet pf water can
reach any part of the Marshfleld wa
ter front, but there is an Immediate
necessity for accommodating boats
drawing eighteen feet.
One of the Interesting features of
tho report is the estimated cheap
ness of tho work proposed that is,
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. This is reduced by forty thous
and dollars which owners oi land la
Railroad addition are willing and
glad to pay to have their lands
raised. The money to be raised is
therefore only about one hundred
and ten thousand. Tho cost Is merely
nominal compared with the immense
advantages which will accrue, not
only to abutting owners, but to the
public- at large. While it is esti
mated that with a single dredge it
will take some three years to com
plete the woik, yet It Is very prob
able that tho conditions will change
so rapidly In the near future that
other aid will be invoked whereby
tho work can be accelerated. Tho
widening of the channel by moving
tho lino of tho harbor east four hun
dred feet will constitute an improve
ment which will double the value of
all water front both in Marshfleld
and East Marshfleld for commercial
jiui-ioses.
This proposition to dredge the bay
is tho most Important which the citi
zens of Marshfleld have to consider
and all other questions are of minor
consequence compared with it. Ev
ery improvement which is made on
or In connection with Coos Bay ma
terially Increases tho prospects and
importance ot this port. Other mat
ters should not, of course, be neg
lected, but every energy should bo
directed to making a great harbor
where nature has made It possible to
make one at very small cost, and
where commerce demands one at any
cost. Coos Bay Is such a harbor. It
is gratifying to observe that the com
mittee of tho Chamber of Commerce,
composed as It was of responsible
citizens and some who, from their
position and expert knowledge of
such matters, wero able to ascertain
tacts with exactitude, have investi
gated the subject with conscientious
and scientific attention to details. It
Is the duty of the Chamber to con
tiiiuu tho great work undertaken and
of the citizens to give every possible
aid to its prosecution nnd success.
SOCIALISM.
Tho belief that political socialism
Is becoming moro and moro powerful
as tho days and years pass does not
scum to bo borno out by tho fact, in
tho United States. Thero has always
boon a radical party In this country
and it may well bo supposed that
thero always will bo one. Never has
a. radical party succeeded in becom
ing dominant. Tho Free Soil party
did not succeed. Tho Greonback
party did not succeed Tho Populist
or Pooplo's party did not succeed.
Tho Domocrntic-Republlcnn party of
Thomas Jefferson was not radical.
It merely advocnted Democratic
tendencies and n strict construction
of the constitution. Tho Whig party
was inoroly a protectlvo tariff com
mercial party. Tho Republican pnrty
did not insist on the abolition of
slavery, but proposod to check It.
Tho Socialist party lias never
elected a governor, a senator, a mem
ber of congress or any important exe
cutive. Its only political victories
aeeiu. to havo been scored in Haver
hill, Mass., nnd Anaconda, Montana,
wuero It electee mayors anu one or
