While wo are talking about our Sockless Jerries in politics and dis cussing social reforms, it is well to remember that the socinlistlo movement in Europe, and which has grown In this country to have a publishing house of its own, buses its fundamental arguments upon tho teachings of Christ. Its enthu siasm and religious ardor are de rived largely from the inspired utter ances of the lowly Nnzarene. It should also be remembered that tho transcendental and most pro gressive teachers of modern Chris tianity represent that a high typo of Christian socialism shall be tho final result of the work of tho Christian church. In this respect they claim that the conclusion of tho present system of Christian culture will oyontuatu in what the radical social ists now aim to achieve in starting a new revolution. Tho old and the uowest lines of reformatory thought thus meet and complete a circle of thought that is both extensive aud powerful in its inilueuces. Both of these forces are based upon tho direct and literal teachings of Christ aud the question naturally arises, Was Christ a Socialist? A book with the above title has been written by Prof. Austin Bier bower, (published by Sergei & Co., Chicago, III., 12mo cloth, $1.00.) It presents the attitude of early Chris tianity toward socialism and Us related problems. All ancient writ ings bearing on the subject aro criti cally examined, as well as all ancient socialistic theories aud attempts at practical communism. Tho author believes Christianity to bo the out come of a tremendous popular move ment. Moderns will bo astonished at how thoroughly and passionately thoso questions wcro anciently dis cussed which seem new to this age, and how thoy received a solution by Jesus or his immediate followers. The book Is unlike any ever written, aud will awaken Intense Interest lu early Christianity as well as in social and economic problems. It Is writ ten in popular style aud abounds In constant surprises. According to this book tho social istic teachings of Christ consist in his coming to establish a new king dom, wfifch ho announced as the chief object of his coming, This new kingdom, umering irom an mo old and existing kingdoms, was to be established In tho interest of tho poor, of the people, and especially of tho lower classes. In this kingdom of tho weaker aud more unfortunate elements of humanity there should be no Inequality, no iujustloo, no oppressions, no wrongs, but all should bo equal and happy. It Is a retaarkablo fuct that thoso who aro oppressed aro always most ready to grant what they have not got equal rights. Thoso who suffer tho Inequalities of society want for tho rest what thoy never had and can not get for themseves equality and happiness. Christ virtually proposed to estab lish a government in tho Interest of those not in authority the euts: A government favoring tho ruled as ugaiust the ruling classes; tho gov erned and taxed as against tho ,gov erniugaud taxgatherers. Christ ad vocated tho rights of tho citizen In all matters civil or ecclesiastical, as against tho state, laws, kings, nobil ity, priests, and laud and property owners. This author contends that Christ's teachings Implied a general revolu tion iu the Interest of tho people, an overturning of then tho existing class and tho elevation of a now class In their steud, by which the high should be brought low aud tho lowly raised up, tho Ilrst last and the last first. Ills sermon on the Mount was only an enlargement of this idea. Blessed be tho poor, ho said, for yours shall bo tho kingdom; blessed are yo that hunger foi ye Hhall bo filled; blessed are ye that weep for ye shall laugh; blessed are ye when men shall hate you and shall bopur ato themselves from you, as do tho urlstocratlo aud higher classes, aud shall reproach you, as they goner- ally do the poor, and count your name as evil, the low, for your re ward shall bo great; but woe unto you that u rich for ye have re ceived your consolation; woe unto you that are full for yo shall hun ger; woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you; in short woe unto you that aro uow In tho ascendancy, or In sympathy with suoli, for you shall be abated, aud blessed are the unfortunate and nether ranks, for they Hhall be brought uppermost In ths coming revolution. Tho day of "Lea Mis erable," the "Sana Coulottea," In BunrFTf the BouKlees Jerries, U at hand. ' We are not proparod to udopt the literal interpretation wliioli the so;laIUU place on these passages of ihoscrlpture. But certain 11 Is that there Is a tendency toward doing something fir tho poor that haa never been dono for them before. Porhaps they aro doing it for them selves. Tho newspaper and tho common school aro spreading intel ligence among tho masses of citizens and voters where it never existed before. With increasing intelligence aud becoming less the prey of im morality and vices that so otteu accompany ignorance, the poorer classes, armed with politi cal power, and dominated by thn socialistic aspirations for equality before tho law, as they havo never hod It before, will co operate with tho most highly-cultured chiBs of christian citizenship to bring about tho long-dreatned-of christian socialism, when tho whole human family shall bcono brother hood and one family of rational aud intelligent human beings. But tho question remains to be solved, was Christ a Socialist? and to what an extent will the socialism of Christ prevall.in the coming civilization of tho world? MAY GO TO JAIL. There Is actual danger that some of tho railroad maguates may havo to go to jail. A New York Judge and grand jury threnten to hold the directors of the Now York Central railroad responsible for a terrible accident that occurred at a tunnel recently, whereby scores of people lost their lives. And why not? Thoso responsible for tho manage ment of railrords have over had im munity Irom the law in this respect. A bank or lusuranco director could bo Jailed for uegllgenco, but a rail road magnate has nover been held to that direct personal liability. It is timo for n change In this. Generally when t hero has been wreck tho blame has been put on tramps, or tho employes, and In most instances thoso hi authority havo escaped all censure, and a criminal conviction was not seriously thought of. If tho directors of these public highways could bo made responsible to the people, there would, without tho least doubt, result a highly im proved order of railroad service, and the present appalling death rato would diminish. OI'KN THE UIVKIM. An enort is" making to get tho Sa lem business men to buy a boat and maintain it on tho WHIametto riyer. Wo aro told that all compe tltlon has been removed and that this Is tho only way to get freight by water. This Is no doubt tho fact. The corporation Interests at Portland havo pooled with the few boats, and wo aro to havoaB practically a closed river as tho' a chain of mountains lay between tho Columbia aud the WHIametto valloy. Tho boats will be withdrawn and nil tho agricul tural wealth of tho valloy will have to nav trlbuto to tho railroad mon opoly and still further swell tho millions of tho Huntiugton and Stanford crowd, Wo aro told that Portland would open tho Columbia to tho Bea to save tho farmer a dollar a ton on his wheat, etc. It strikes us If Portland Is interested in open rivers that town would gain as much lu getting the grain of this valloy Into Port land as iu getting grain out of Portland to tho sea. Tho whole thing Is a farco. The clogs pluced upon tho produce by tho present corporation management is a crimo against common prosper ity. There will be no relief until tho open river question becomes a political Issue. FUOM McCOY.

Their grlovanccs, thoy say, aro beyond further enduranco, and only a sweeping shut-down will avail them anything. Tho scale provided at tho Columbia convention for 60 cents per ton of 2000 pounds, has been iguorcd by all tho operators, who demand of tho men 2240 pounds per ton. Tho miners will make a demand for tho eight-hour day, and tho absolute freedom from tho sys tem of purchasing tho necessaries pf life from their employers. Tho presont nctiou of tho miners la largely duo to tho general resump tion of tho "pluck mo" stores, aud tho method of keeping tho men continually lu debt to tho operators.

An at temnttn burn thn fvi-ovmu asylum at Avondalo aud Us (hirty flvo Inmates very nearly succeeded Sunday night beforo 8 o'clock. When the children wero undressing for bed, n strong odor of smoke aud oil was detected, and ono of the glrla noticed smoko curling from a crack near the window on the north side. Tho matron quickly got tho chil dren In lllio and marched them out. Tho smoko grew denser, nnd tho ilro department of tho vlllago was railed upon. Tho Humes, which wcro betweon tho wall and the plas tering, wore finally extinguished, after doing several hundred dollars' damago. An Investigation rovcaled startling facts. Tho slruoturo is ot frame, resting on stono pillars and leaving a spaco between tho ground and tho lloor. In this space was found the charred remains of a largo pllo of kindling, over which kero suno had been poured. There is no clue to the person who started tho fire, but tho colored peoplo say tho asylum has long bepn an eyesore to the whites, sonio of whom would not scruple at any means to secure Its removal.

St. Louid, March 80. Mre. A. W. Clifford, wlto ofthc president of tho Tamaulaplas Land, Mining and Manufacturing Company is reported to have gone lusauo on Christian Science. Tho family lived in a brown-stone front on Ollvo street, and consisted of Mr, Gilford, his niece and wife. The lady was an Invalid, and her husband says ho has spout (25,000 in vain efforts to euro her. About two yearn ago sho said she had a vision, In accordance with which sho went to a Christian science healer and was cured. She obeyed tho warning and got well. This made a convert of her, aud she began studying, She soon becamo a healer herself, and her husband also espoused tho faith. Sho devel oped tho highest powers, and was considered the very light of tho school hero. Sho aud her husband tried to make an advocate of thelrjllt- tlo uelco, hut it is said thoy failed in this. Studies and practises then took a wider rungo. She went Into hypnotism, spiritualism, and other occult mysteries. Itocently tho fam ily dlnapcured, and hor hundreds of lollovrera aud friends havo been wondering what had become of her. To-day it developed that her reasou had become dethroned.
