THK SOCIALISM OP CHRIST.
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.

INCENDIARY WORK. fc
Cincinnati, Mar. 31. 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. Tho white boys in tho
neighborhood aro also a source of
aiinoyauco to tho Institution. Tho
probablo theory Is that tho ilro was

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. Many
stories aro told of her vagaries. On
otto occasion she took a live pet par
rot and put it iu a furnace, aud
watched It die, as an ottering to tu
powers that controlled her. Tbf
