“Feeling our -way to tlie Millennium” was the title of Prof. .Richmond's. address 'before the Now Zealand Socialist Party at Ilis Majesty’s Theatre, Wellington, last Sunday evening. . After confessing- himself to bo an agnostic so far as social and politicil .matters were concerned,'the professor said that clearly society was endeavoring to improve, aiming at the perfect well-bo-ing of all. But this was not practical politics, and so improvements must be |made one by one. Probably the present needs would he best served by a mixture of collective and priviate enterprises, <and’ Socialism would have to 'arrange that ovorv man took out of the public wealth only so much as his labor had produced. Not 'until the standard of right and wrong had been improved and a wider idea of duty embraced could economic equality come. Graded payment which was still in voguo must continue for sejme time to come. No matter how > delicate the stomach, Stearns’ Wine always agrees with the patient.
