Much Is dally until In the papers and other
wise against the annrchlsts. Such Rtrlctiircs
nro just , but of little account. Men llko
the Valllant , wlio threw the bomb Into the
French Chamber of Deputies , nro past reason
themselves anil can have no wide Influence.
In ono point tirades against thcso violent an
archists are vrorso than useless. They with
draw attention from the nnarchlsm that la
really dangerous. The anarchism which tn
fact threatens society la not that of our Ig
norant Immigrants , It consists In the npathy
which our best people , socallcd , display In
view of their social and political obligations.
There are many reasons for thin apathy.
Most of us have been religiously trained to
distinguish sharply between the sacred and
the secular portions of our conduct , and to
place political and r.oclal affairs In the secu
lar class. This teaching was wrong and
has produced most unfortunate results. Wo
have derived from It the habit of thinking
that as care for public concerns Is merely
ncculnr It Is hardly a duty at all , and may as
Well bo neglected as not.
Equally common and equally pernicious
Is the thought that the existence- human
beings on this earth has meaning only In
Vlow of a higher form of existence to conto
nfter death. It certainly ennobles our con
ception of human nature to think of It as
destined for a fuller being than Is possible
hero , but It Is extremely misleading to rc-
Kard men's earthly experience ns destitute
of value on Its own account. Viewing It
HO , wo Inevitably coino to consider It of llt-
tlo Importance how the cflalrH of this world
go on. Is not an unselfish life hero niul now
as beautiful a thing ns any other sphcro of
existence will offer ? And so of society : If
wo can bring U to something llko Ideal per
fection right hero In this actual earth , will
not the heaven thus begun have a valuable
tharactor of Its own ?
DANGEROUS IDEAS.
Queerly enough , contempt for civic affairs
lias been extended and Intensified by certain
notions Intimately associated with frco In-
ntltutlons. Ono of thcso Is the representa
tion of society nnd the state ns arbitrary
creations ; devices , necessarily evils , to which
men resorted simply for the sake of con
venience ; whereas both hnvo In some form
nlways existed , and both are absolutely Indispensable -
dispensable to any worthy development on
the part of Individuals. However , It will
not do to think of the utato simply as a
means to an end , as existing merely In order
that flno Individuals may bo produced , for
society as society Is a splendid product , over
nnd above the Individuals whom It helps
upward.
Another dangerous Idea which the pioneer
friends of free Institutions have sent down
to us Is the belief that social and political
affairs will take care of themselves. This
mode of viewing the state makes It an auto-
innton , needing only to be sot going , when
nil the good with which It Is capable of bless
ing the citizens will bo evolved without the
slightest attention from them. Some may
Rtipposo that history favors this view , bo-
cnuso In men's political development hitherto
Individuals have figured mostly as Instru
ments rather than as conscious agents with
clear purposes touching the ends which have
been actually wrought out.
NEW PnOULEMS BEFORE SOCIETY.
But this , nupposo It true till now , cannot
continue to bo the case. That society has
thus far liccn mechanically evolved , as It
were , does not Imply tlmt It Is always to
grow tlmt wny. As the rise of man's
power to think abstractly was a turning
point In evolution In KCIlcrn'i ' so now , In so
cial evolution , wo are at a turning point ,
which Is characterized by the necessity for
applying humanity's purposive thought to
the guidance of society. The world's popu
lation can no tensor spread out Into now
territory , as 1ms always been so easy here
tofore ; It IB compelled to grow by greater
nnd greater condensation. Wo must perforce -
force learn how to live to0otbcr. Mcro
trust In the so-called laws of social evolution
was once not HO unsafe , but It la no longer
sufHclcnt. As the world waxes older the Power
above more and more takes man Into his
counsel In dlrectlnc It. Problems of the
Bravest sort now confront society which a
few years ago had no existence. They
must bo solved or wo are lost , and they will
/ * * * not solve themselves.
JF ' Proper political education of the young
Involves the eradication of the above false
Ideas , and the substitution therefor of the
corresponding truths. There can bo no hem
ispheres , ono sacred , the other secular , tea
a really good man's life. Nothing In it Is
secular In the sense that duty and religion
do not extend thither. In nothing are wo
under more solemn obligation than Is upon
us to exert our largest and best Itilhionco
for the weal of the state. Man's life now la
Important , Infinitely so , and , partly at least ,
on Its own score. Society Is not on artificial
affair , a mere convenience. It Is Indtspen *
bablo to perfect Individuality , and It Is thus
necessary not as an evil , but ns a good. Nor
Is It an automaton , which God has wound
up and sot to uolng that It will run equally
well whether wo care for It or not. Per
petual vigilance for Its welfare Is demanded
from us all.
Till : ClIILUnKN MUST I1E TAUGHT.
Efficiently to Inculcate these lessons wo
must begin with the young when they are
very young. Mothers and other primary
teachers , all the kindergarten Influences , tn
a word , need to bo enlisted In the work
It la a sad fact that women , who are the
chief companions and teachers of children
during all the years when our fundamenta
nnd strongest moral convictions are formed
for the most part feel no responsibility
touching public matters. Let n strong sense
of such recponslblllty become tholrs , and the
duties of citizenship will bo talked over
as the elements of morality now are. In the
nursery , at the table , by the fireside , li
school , children thus coming early to feel I
TiV6lr duty to Incessantly consider polltlca
nnd social Interests , and to treat them aa
the most precious and Important on earth.
Schools can do much for young persons
political education by lessons upon the the
'try. facts and Uutloa of civic life. Instrtic
tlou In the elements ot political and socla
science ought to begin In the primary schools
no soon as scholars can read well , and I
slioiiHl never cease until the pupil's nclioo
days are done. U Is no dllllcult task to
Bhow a child how dependent each ot us Is
upon the society about us and upon the state
Infinite misconception still prevails on this
point. How can children , or men either , bo
radical patriots thinking ot the state si
meanly as many do and as our fathers o
the revolutionary epoch quite unanimously
did ? Evils gather about our political life , o
course , and they are not at all to bo excused
cusod because associated with what Is so
vitally essential. Hut accursed Indeed mus
be the stato. If such a state can bu Inmg
Incd , which would not be Infinitely superior
to anarchy. Not a soul among ns duly ap
predates the dally , hourly , perpetual bless
Ings derived and to be derived from the clvl
order In which wo live , move and have our
being ,
THE HISTORY OP UUEUTY.
As to facts , wo ought In our public schoo
Instruction to dwell moro on the history
of liberty In early and modern times , a
well as upon the slow growth and the cos
of liberty. Touching duties , wo might poln
out not only the obllgatorlncsa of activity
In polltlca , but the possibility and the duty
ot honest participation In political office
Very many ot our fellow citizens canno
fully discharge their calling In relation to
the state simply by regular anil hones
voting. They must hold olllco. A polltlca
career should bo looked upon as something
to bo openly sought and aspired ( o by any
properly quullllod man , not as a gift , gra
tulty or mere honor from political friends
It la Indeed' credit to a public officer I

SIGNS OF PHOGIIESS.
Institutions of higher learning are already
doing a great deal to nourish an enlightened
civic spirit , but they might do much moro.
Courses of Instruction In civics abound
In all the best college curri
cula , and they are very popular.
There are no other communities In the land
where correct thought and feeling regardIng -
Ing civil and social obligations are so general
as within colleges nnd universities. Stu
dents arc , as a rule , brave , open-minded
and enthusiastic. They llko progress and
now ideas. They continually arguo. Nar
rowness , provincialism , fogylsm they frown
down. A right spirit of young America Is
over abroad amonc them , and the matters
upon which It most loves to feed are these
relating to man's llfo with man In political
and social relations. But the general ,
silent and obtrusive tendencies of our higher
schooling , nnd the social studies already In
use , good aa they nro , need supplementing.
Much tcachliiR is either too abstract or too
concrete. Economic , social and ethical
theories should bo brought In the teaching
directly Into relation with the facts , In order
that students may know , so far as possible ,
what measures they shall favor and. as op
portunity serves , help execute. Upon all
the ereat social Issues , aa the ballot , in
temperance , trusts , the tariff , luxury , silver ,
civil service nnd the like , advanced pupils
should bo trained to draft nnd defend reform
laws based upon reasoned principles.
THE DUTY OF THE CHURCH.
The various religious establishments of
the country , were they so minded , might
bo Incalculably influential in the political
education of the young. When wo consider
the Immense number ot religious people
now , their tremendous resources In wealth
and learning , their standing In society , and
their perfect access to all men through the
press If not by direct religious address. It la
obvious tlmt their Influence In favor ot right
political thinking nnd practices ought to
bo fur mightier than It is. Moral teaching
Is confessedly a main part of the church's
business , nnd political conduct certainly forms
a most Important portion of morality.
Every pulpit In the land ought Incessantly
to Inculcate the duty of n public spirit. The
church should make provisions for now ,
moro careful study and teaching upon social
and political questions. As to many
of these , satisfactory informa-
tlon Is not obtainable anywhere
now. Not R few of the evils whereof all
complain nro the pure products of Ignorance.
Such people ns have the best opportunities
to learn know all too little about the details
of proper social procedure on their own
part , or concerning policies and methods for
assuaging the woes which allllct society. To
do good being the church's admitted mission ,
I too not how she can escape the duty of
making deep and triumphant study of these
grave problems now BO angrily discussed ,
that Bho may teach the results from the
pulpit and In every qther posslb'o ' way. Anew
now sort of theological education , more prac
tical than the old , Is Imperatively needed.
Sunday schools might be utIIUcd for making
known the results ot this , a form of activity
than which none could bo moro useful.

Is very Ilttlo to bo said , as they nro per

furnish or suggest any arguments that will

nance passed as possible , I will appreciate It.
I beg pardon for the delay In acknowledging
the receipt of and thanking you for the

Dear Sir : Your ordinance received and road.
I congratulate you In constructing an ordi
nance whcro there are no hardships for the
electric light companies ; It Is Just and equit
able. With this ordinance a law you will
have a model city electrically. The compa
nies , ot course , will oppose It on general
principles. They do not want to do good
work , because It copts money to put In good
material , and every plant should bo Inspected
as you provide for public safety. The com
panies will fight It now. After you have
done all the good work In getting the dif
ferent plants la safe condition and all the
defective wire , which U a menace to life and
property , displaced by good and safe wlrc.the
very people who nro opposing you will
thank you , and your councilman will congrat
ulate themselves that they had a man who
know what ho was doing , and that they ( the
councllmen ) assisted you to make It a law
regardless of what the companies say or do.
Now. I think It high tlmo that there was
a check put on the electric light companies
doing rotten work. By complying with said
ordinance they will make it and save money
In their coal pile in the end. The intelli
gent citizen will not tolerate dangerous ma
chinery much longer. We all know that
electrical machinery is dangerous if not con
trolled by competent supervision and man
agement , and , again , there Is nothing so dis
figuring to a city as electrical construction
poorly and carelessly put up. It Is cheaper ,
of course , to put up a line poorly nnd care
lessly , and so long as the wlro will convey
the current what moro do the companies do-
slre ? What do they care for looks and neat
ness of construction , BO lung as the wlro
will convoy the desired current ? There
should most emphatically be some ono to
compel them to erect their lines In a sightly
and safe way. Municipal authorities should
have control of such work.
The section providing for the removal of
dead wires Is very good. Wo are suffer
ing from just such a nuisance In our city.
Wo have miles of dead wires and no ono
owns them , therefore the city 1ms to ap
propriate hundreds of dollars to take thorn
down. The .companies who put them up
and made money out of them repudiate thcso
wires when they have no farther use for
them , and the city must pay for taking them
down. But , with nn ordinance such as
yours , each one will bo compelled to own Ills
own particular wlro nnd when abandoned be
compelled to take It down.
There Is not a slnglo fault In the whole
ordinance. Push It through with all your
might ; It Is Just and equitable. Pay no at
tention to the companies ; they would kick
you If you took them to heaven and made
them spend money by going there. They
would use the water mains to convey their
current If they could , because It would cost
them nothing for copper.
I trust this ordinance will become a law ,
and tlmt you will have the assistance of all
right-minded and progressive citizens of
your city , and will have the vote of all your
councllmen , who have the safety of your
citizens and beauty ot your city at heart.
Very truly yours , J. A. CABOT ,
