German Socialism in America.

A writer in the last number of the North American Review foresees possibly large evil effects from the introduction of Ger- man socialistic ideas inte the United States. He takes as his text a recent speech de- livered by Professor Fawcett at Cambridge, in which that close observer and acute reasoner observes that if socialism should continue to advance in Germany and the United States with as much rapidity as it had lately shown, the day is not far distant when it will control legislation in both these countries. He quotes, in connection with this, a remark once made by Secretary Seward, that of all the elements that enter into the American national composition, the Germans are most to be feared. He shows that six million Germans new form part of the American Union, and that still larger annual additions than have been the rule in the past will be made to this body, under the repressive legislation of Prince

Bismarck. Ho believes that the mass of these naturalized Germans are of the class from which the ranks of the socialists are recruited; that

they bring their peculiar notions with them in full strength, and that they consti- tute centres of agitation from which may easily grow a sucialist party strong enough to coutrol legislation in the United States. He shows that at the first National Con- vention of Socialists held in Philadelphia in 1876, three-fourths of the delegates bore German names; that at the second National Congress in Newark the next year, half the delegates and two-thirds of the committees were German, many of them—a significant fact which the writer does not sufliciently consider—having arrived so recently as to be unfamiliar with the English language; and that the platform then adopted was a mere abstract of the familiar views of Las- salle and Karl Marx. From these plain enough facts he deduces the conclusion, rather hinted than expressly stated, that America is in danger of being overrun with a tide of German Socialism that shall de- stroy its political institutions and replace them with the combination of state tyranny and individuai slavery which is the essen- tial ground-work of the proposed new dis- pensation. —St. John Sun. —— -— -<—>-__-—-— The Nile Slave Trade.

OPERATIONS AGAINST TRADERS ON THE WHITE

NILE— DEFEAT OF A PROMINENT SLAVE

MERCHANT IN KORDOFAN.

A letter dated Demidris, January Ist, to the Governor-General of Southern Egypt, from an officer sent to break up the slave depots in the neighborhood of the Bahr-El- Gazal (White Nile), in the Province Of Kordofan, reports an engagement with Suleiman, one of the chief slave traders and owner of twenty-five depots, in which it is stated the women alone waiting impor- tation into Egypt number 10,000. The Egyptian forces numbered 300 and were entrenched, part being armed with Rem- ington rifles. Suleiman, with 11,000 men, attacked the entrenchment with desperate courage. The attack was completely de- feated, and the assailants fled in disorder, leaving 1,087 dead. The Egyptians lost

20 men.

A young lady while on her way to be married was run ever and killed. A con- firmed old maid savagely remarked, ‘She has avoided a more lingering and horrible fate.”’

The Pall Mall Gazette says that ‘Queen Victoria, has expressed a strong wish to see Canada, and the Prince of Wales is en- couraging her to visit both that country and the United States.”

A melancholy list, extending over six columns of small type, isin the Glasgow ‘‘Herald,” of shareholders in the Glasgow Bank who are to be proceeded against for non-payment of calls ranging from £200 to £15,000. The frequency of women’s names is distressing. Trustees are also numerous.

Mr. McCarthy, who has been returned as the Home Rule candidate for Longford, Ireland, has many personal friends in America, where he lived for three years, is forty-nine years old. He has been a journalist and magazine writer for more than aquarter of a century, and is the author of several clever novels.

John Davis, of Detroit, has received a cablegram from Hanlan, the sculler, stating that his English trainers were forcing him to do work his constitution could not bear, and he threatened, if they did not stop it, he would return by next steamer ; that his chances for winning in May were already lessened. Davis has started for England.

Considerable excitement has been caused by the mysterious disappearance of Thomas Vincent, jeweller, of Ottawa. He was last seen on Saturday apparently very low- spirited. On the 7th the door of his room was forced open and his revelver found with four chambers discharged and the bed- clothes and floor covered with blood. His watch and $10 in money were found upon his table. No traces ef blood can be found on the stairs leading from his room.

The report of the Englishman who was sent by Rivers Wilson to enquire into the famine in Egypt, shows that 10,000 per- sons died of starvation alone in Girgeh, Kena and Esna. The famine, which was really a money famine caused by over- taxation, has now terminated, but has left disastrous consequences. If similar taxa- tion continues, another partial failure in the rise of the Nile will cause a famine worse than the last.

A Quarnt System or Boox-Kererina. — A committee of creditors, consisting of four prominent business men, visited a debtor, a large manufacturer, the other day, and after the usual seasonable compliments delicately broached their errand as one of investi- gation. ‘‘Oh, gentlemen, yon want to see how I stand. Hanged if I know. Here's my books ;” and fishing out of a vest pocket three thin pass books, he laid them on the stove. ‘‘Honest Injun, all the books I keep. You see I manage to keep goods enough over in New York to draw against. Borrow some money, keep track of my notes, and when money’s easy, of course, I’m doing well ; when money’s hard, why it just looks squally. Won't you look over the factory, gentlemen ? ’-—-Boston Advertiser.

A few weeks ago a young man named Robert Weissey was arrested in Toronto at the instance of his wife, on a charge of threatening an assault. The case came up at the police court on the morning after the arrest, but the wife did not appear. The case was dismissed, and it was afterwards discovered that defendant’s mother-in-law and his wife had left for Ottawa, taking with them defendant’s furniture. Weissey, who had only been married seven months, laid a charge against the mother-in-law, but as he would be obliged to go to Ottawa to prosecute, he allowed it to drop. He stated, a few days ago, that he had issued a writ against the mother-in-law, claiming 31,060 damages for defamation of charac- ter and false imprisonment, and he also in- tends to apply for a legal separation.
