S O CIALISM.

PAUL WtLSTAOl:J.

To the !' ln rlent in Philo~ophy it nppe:trs s trnnge t!Jat

there a re so many popular enors. He thumbs hi s pages and exclaims: "How in tile name o f common sense can iofirlels oon~ciention sly be. iev e wha t they tnnch '?'', • 1How did Rou~sean e ver fall into hi s soc ial ••ompact error?", anrl. the t-hinker, a fter t•unniug through his tract. on Pmperty :tncl compariug the · i·leas of the Socinli:;tt. and Commnnists, thmws down his book, and feels, if he does not exclaim: " \'\Tha t ft>Ols Lltese mortals

be:'' How rn n they be iu,':u ceLI inti> such g ross el'l'ors? It

is lack of tho ugllt. Tbe ir acti ons oel ray thetn. Who are the Socialists? They anJ their recruits are a lways fuun<l among the lowe::;t c lasses, amOttg Lhe ignomut., th e irreligious: tlley are infidels 11 early every (JfJI'l. Yet t,hey preteoct to convince tile t-hinkers, t,he ec!Pcated, by their argument;; thPir arg um euts, forsooth ! a clu b. a fire-arm, dynamite. They pretend to advocate a pure Socialism but their views c: ilange wil.lt the s tntus u f their pocket- book.

Grant tJ,em n. littl e leanting. But-"A litt.le learning is a da11gerons thing, Drink deep or (lrink not of the Pyl'ian s pring."

T hey are struck with an id ea, its bri lli ancy dnes them, and before they tnlly rr.a lize what material they have in band, they are V[ll,l.nting their principles in the facE:: of society. ' f'b ey neither trace the idea to its somce n()r to its last end. Their amhition is to inv ent, to be

original. The tollowing from B almes is apropos: "Un!le r the influence of this exclusive predi lect ion,

this prejudice, the min(l developes its irlens aml accom ­modates fitet:> to suit it; that which was at first ou ly an ingenious and extrava gan t irlea, becoml)s the germ of

import:-;.nt doctrin.es ; and if it ari~;e in a person of ardent dispos ition, fan aticism, the canse of so much m arlness, is the consequence."

The great battle cry of Sociali:sm is Char ity! A

grand sentiment.. How mu ch of good that word implies, help to tile poor, a id for the oppressed, succor for tbe weak. "Do unto others as yon would wish others to do unto you." ·what golden wonls. ,And thus the heart and rninct :o~,re rap~ in a perfect fl a me of zeal . All that is in the least contrary to cllarity is branded as tyntnnical, authority i:s a. usnrpation, property a theft. And so from

~ bRd to worse . A lack of thought is at once apparent, reason gives place to sentiment, and the heart becomes the ruler of the mind.

The great battle .cry of Socialism is Chal'ity. But is

their system a cha1·itnble one? We willtwt only prove the contrar.' ' • bnt also that it is destructive .of t:Lll orde11, the principle of sloth, of s lave1·y. An Utopil),, whose realizativ n is not only improbahle, bu't impossible, nnd utterly a bsurrl to even think of.

I have cnrrierl , the reacler t hus far on the Sll[)posit,iou

'Ve mu:;t preserve the French l:tnguage in Cnnarla.: H ere is a proposition which s0arcely requires any

"Ma sœur, si les pleurs Ranimaient notre argile morte, AinSi que la rosée apporte Une nouvelle Yie aux fleurs, Tu revenais, de bonheur ivre,

Ton enfant revivre!

Comme d'un sommeil, il s'éveillerait pour te sourire Entrouvrant sa lèvre de myrrhe; Et t.n dirais: c"est son t(\int vermeil, C'est son œil où le mien se miré!

Il vit! Il respire!

Héhs! au tombeau Pas de germe f}Ui puisse éclore Oh! rien qui ne renaisse encore Au sein de ce triste berceau. il ne sort jamais de ses fanges

Que l'aUe des anges!

Et dans leur essor Ils emportent bien loin des &mes De ceux qu'ici-bas nous aimâmes, Comme la chrysalide d'or

Qui cherche en déployant sorr aile La voüte éternelle.

Mais répands, ma sœur, Ces pleurs dont ton &me est chargée : Tu te sentiras sotûagée Du poids glacé de ta douleul'. Le ciel sombre se fond en pltüe

Pour que l'ombre fuie

Coulez de nos· cœurs, 0 larmes, suave rosée; Et sur la joue have et crensée Laissez d'immortelles douleurs, Comme au bronze que l'on cisèle,

L'empreinte mortelle.

Car le cœur humain Est tout une source de larmea Qui se gonfle avec nos alarmes; Et dans la joie >ou le chagrin­

Qu'un être naisse ou meure-Ah! toujours il pleure!

ANALOGIE ENTRE LA FORlUATlON DE

L'EGLISE ET LA CREATION DU MONDE.

( Snite et jin.) Considérez, .Mes::; ieub, qnel spuct.ac.:l e dut dfrir le

monde après les trois premiers jours cte ht création lorsque, selon le langage du Psalmiste, " Dieu eut dressé les cieux comme une tente, qu'à sa voix et au bt·ui t de son ton~ erre les eaux qui cuu v raient la te ne comme d'un vêtement eurent fu i, que les moqtagnes oe furent éleveés ct que la vallées se furent creusées à

leur pied." (l">s 113.) Representez vous cette verdure langnissante; ces tertres jauni»; ces dé:;erts arides, où croissaient çà et là des ru·bres au feuillage dernesuré et des plantes gigantefques; cette pille lumière; ce ciel sombre; ces monts dénudés qui échancraient l'horizon ; le bruit monotone et mourant de la brise qni - traver­sait les· plaines, gli~sait sm· le !Jenchant de collines et se mêlait au murmUt;e plaintif des eaux expirant sur la plage. où battant le üanc de rochers. Comme tout était sombre, lugubre! Sur la terre pas un mouvement, dans les air~ pas une voix, dans les cieux pas un astre ;· jour plein d 'effroi et qui n'eut de semblable que le jour où· le Christ expira, lorsque les astres s'enfuirent , que les cieux pâlirent d'horreur ct qu' un voile sombre couvrit le mo n'de. L' A1·éopagite, plongé encore dans la llUit du paganisme, s'était alors écrié: "Le Dieu de la nature souffe ou bien le mécanisme du molide se dissout.''

Il fut, · ce semble, une heure semblable pour l'Eglise quand le Christ eut quitt~ la terre. Elle demeura obscurcie et comme voi lée de tristesse. La lumière avait été faite, c'est vrai ; mais qui ue sait que la lumière ici-bas est encore mêlée aux figmes et aux ténèores de la foi? L'Eglise était bien iormée; les eaux supérieures avaient hien (•té séparées des ·eaux inférieures par la distinction du clergé et des laïques: les cieux de l'Eglise étaient par conséquent tendus ; mais où étaienL le mouvement, les joyeux concerts ? Où étaient les astres répandant leur pure et donce lumière? Les apôtres ? Sans doute, selon la parole de Jésus-Christ, ils devaient être la luwière du monde par l'édat de leur doctrine, mais comment le pouvaient-ils alors ? N 'avaien t-ils pas fui à rheure Où lem chef

LE GENIE EST UNE LONGUE PATIENCE.

Ces esprits arrivent plus tôt r4ue les autres à l'âge de r::tison, à cet âge oi:J pour la première fois l'homme corn­prend,, éprouve pour ainsi dire, d' une maniè1··e vagu e en­core, mais douloureuse, ln. noblesse èle son origine et la profondeur de sa chute. Ils sentent pl ua tôt que les autre,; et plus cruellement surtout, l'éternel tourment de l'ir.­fini; ils sont pounuivis par un id én.J qui les h::tnte, et qu'ils ne peuvP.nt ni saisir ni fixer. Ils s'fln vont par le monde, receuillant pal'fois la gloire et parfois le mép ri ~

mais toujours tristes, m·~Contents de leurs œn v res . '

froides à leurs yenx parce que jamais elles ne reproèlui sent cet être entrevu, deviné par leur âme, cet être qui fait partie d'eux-mêmes ét qu'iii> ne peuvent e01 bras­ser;-tristes et mécontents, parce que rien ne reprodnit leur idéaL-Et l'on dit qu'ils ont du géni e.

Qu'ont-ils pour que leur âme soit si vivement éprise de cet êtte inconnu auprès duquel tant ct'hommes pas­sent indi:tféreuls ?--Rien! le génie est un don que la nat ure, que Dieu lui-même leur a fait, parce qu' il attendait .:l'eux de gmndes clH >Ses· C'est un feu intérieur que l'enthousiasme excit.e et qui, >tu moment de l'inspira­tion, ne se possètle plus et demande à se manîfe,.ter. Ecoutez le poète:

. . . . la lave de mon g(onie Déborde en torrents d'harmonie Et me consume en s'échappant.

Et l'on dirait que le génie est un e longue patience, un, labeur semblable à celui de l'artisan qui cisèle ...

Vingt fois sur le métier remettez votre ou vra.ge, Polissez-le sans cesse et le repolissez.

Cela suffirait-il pour 1aire une œuvi·e de génie? No~ , non; le poète doit chan ter :

Comme l' oiseau gémit, comme le vent. soupire, Comme l'onde murmure en coulant.

Cependant la nat-me ne fait p,as toub et le travn.il, sans ê tre un élément essE<ntiel du génie, en est néan­moins une condÜiou indispensable. Là où. Dien crée nne âme artiste ou de poète, le travail fournit les moy ­eli s d' exprimer, de commauiquer aux . autres. quelques unes de ces vibrations ressenties avec 'une douleur a·i déli cieuse. .

D'ailleurs le génie n'est pas !a puissance du travail ? N 'est-ce pas la faculté qu'a l'artiste de s'étudier lui-mê­me pour tl'ou ver dn.ns son âme · cette poésie, rayons de. l' infinie, qu'il prête aux êtres qui l'entourent? N'est-ce pas comme ln. co"ncentqt.tion de toutes les forces de · l'âme sur un point d'oi:J doit jaillir la lumière?

Que faisait Colomb dnrant son sf.joul' à Lisbonne ? Songer et songer toujours à ce cbem i 11 non veau qn'il vou. lair ouvrir au sein des mers. Que fllisa it Newton durant ses veilles laborieuses? Sinon chercher les lois de la natnr.a, les ~ternels principes qui régi ssent l' uni vers. Et l'artiste et le sculpteur, ne doivent-ils pa-; travail ler? Qui ne connaît les rudes débuts èl'un Michel-Ange ou d'un Rubens, les efforts constants, les ét:.:des ardues d'ttn D8mosthène et d'un Bossuet? Quel travail patient ne fitut-il pas RU poète avant qu'il soit devenu l' écho fidèl e cln Ees impressions et qu'il puisse <lire en tou.te vérité:

L'amour. la gloire, et la tombe et la vi ~,

L'onde qui fuit par l'onde incessament suivie, Toute ombre, t out rayon ou propice ou fatal Fait reluire et vibrer mon âme de cristal , Mon âme aux mille voix que le Dieu que j'adore Mit au centre de tout comme un échu sonore.

Bien sentir, vrJilà la première condition du gén io Bien rendre son émotion, voilà le couronnement. Voil à ce qui produit des œuvres immortelles, ces œuvres d::w• l e~quelle-s le génie s'inearne et demeure pout· la postt'n·i­té. C'est bien là cette longue patience dont parle Buffon. Comment l'artiste fait-il partager ses idées, ses senti­ments aux autres? Comment? Newton répond par une n.clrnirable théorie et passe le reste de ses jours à é tu ­ct i<> r, à approfondir encore et toujours les insondables ~ ec rets de la nature. Micbel Ange répond par une toile immortelle et pleure de désespoir en contemplant lui­même son œuvre et en voyant corn bien peu elle reesem ­ble à l' idéal qu'il a révé.

Lutter toBjours pour atteindre son idéal, lutter tou jours sans parvenir; c'est la loi du génie, corn rn~ celle de nous tous depuis qu'en un jom à jamais néfaste le premier homme a entendu la ser..tence irrévocable: "Tu tru va11leras !"

T he writer of •'Crimes" in a late issue ol The Chad­d,A:k Monthly, complains very bittel'ly of the prevalence of cri me in the world. This is no doubt a ml)st just lament-ation, there is iL-bnudance of evil in our midst. It is a well knowu tact,' but is there not a r enson lor it?

The writer points out a few: first, a love of money ; seeondly, an impure press; and thirdly, lutewperance. No one doubts tha t tbes~ a re the most potent agents of crim e. As a remedy the writer points out the nec~:ssity of n better enforcement of the lnws ; a punish­ment tha t shall be quick and S'l fficient to vindicate the m:oj es ty uf tbe law, etc. The writer would also have the priso11 taken out of politics; good again. The last remedy proposed: "A constant a.nd fem·less denunci ­a tiou or those evils by pulpit ann press;'' thus the writer concludes. Iu the las t instn.uce a true remedy is pointed out; one which alone can be effectual in sub­d uei ng or lessening crime. Bu t in this la nd of wavering doctrine ho w cn.u this work its e nd ? One church alone preaches lJoldly ami at a ll times against crime. She alone has the courage to call things by their right name:l, ::mel if her ministers filled as many pulpits as are filled by the contradic t(yry and wavering rr.inisters of other sects, crime would be lessened. It is her mission to te,tch a ud save the s inner and she dotls not fear I.Jim because he is poor or ignorant. She does not. pam per to the rich and make a doctrine to suit them , Lcr word. is for all men, aml for all times. No wonder ti.Ju t veople of other sects :\l'e grieved at the increase of crime. '1 hey fee l its enormity and are powerles:~ to prevent tt. Wilen w ill they learn that there is one Ark a tod ouly one? That the Cntholic ChurclJ is the ark wltNeiu there is safc.ty and oui.side of which there is no j:eace, and. no remedy fo1· the many evils that afflict :udividuals as well as the social body in general ? Until they do, tlleir complaints wi ll be empty sounds and will only go to lihow their utter inability to counteract crime. Does the wnter not seem a little ambiguou8 here? " In a single state in our own bud, crime in the last two years has increased 300 per cent. This is the State of New Jersey; one of the smallest and most peaceful Htates in the Union." A large increase surely and if that is a peaceable S tate what are the fighting ones doing?
