RUSSIAN DESIGNS.
The Anglo-Russian question is to
the European press what the mam
moth kquaah and the five-legged calf
are to the editors of country newspa
pers, says an exchange. It "comes in"
considerably of late.
We are treated to dispatches con
cerning the weakness of the British
war navy, as we hare been treated to
them on a thousand prior occasions,
' the fact still remaining, as it has done
for two hundred years, that the Brit
ish war navy is by all odds the finest
in the world. We are treated to dis
patches that advise ns of the designs
of Russia against Erzeroum, Constan
tinople no longer being an objective
ppint of Russian military policy, ac
cording to the dispatch maker. We
are told that Greece is to be converted
into a Russian ally by the gift of
Crete in the redistribution of territory
that is to follow the new Russian
movement; as if Russia, or anybody
else, cares a fig for alliance with
Greece, with its bankrupt treasury,
its paper navy, and its inconsequen
tial sham of an army. We are told
that Turkey is to become a Russian
ally, which will be very strange when
it is proved to be true. Still the fact
remains that the Russian policy of
to-day is just what it was in the days
of Peter the Great, and what it ever
since has been, a policy of silence and
su prise. Russia seldom strikes at the
point that she menances.
In time of peace she establishes
friendly relations with the tribes 'that
inhabit the outposts of the British
possessions in Asia; Bhe works steadily
toward development of post roads,
that, should war come, may serve as
military road; she keeps dropping a
little colony of Russians here, and a
bivouac of Cossacks there, and when
she has roads fit for transportation,
food supplies obtainable from her
farming colonists, and a force of Cos
sack scouts ail arranged, she moves a
column of regular troops and annexes
another bhco of military frontier. No
nation more wisely and more patiently
makes 'a good get ready" before niov
ing than Russia.
Wherefore, we give not much cnd
ence to the opinions of "Herr Rim
enyi, as a famous writer and former
attache of the Austrian Embassy a
Constantinople," as set forth in recrn
dispatches. Since the time of Metter
nich Austria has had no diplomat cap
able of fathoming the purpose of Rus
sia. "Oq to Constantinople" has been
the Russian watchword for more than
two centuries, and' she has moved
Btaadily, and, all things considered
rapidly in that direction. It hardly
is likely that she has abandoned her
purpose, though she may be feigning
forge tfulness of it.
MONARCHY VS. ANARCHY.
Anarchy appears to have suddenly
risen to the surface with considerable
force in continental Europe-, and this
may be accounted for by reasonable
hypotheses. In monarchies govern
meat is not for the people, but for the
privileged classes. Under the present
system what has the peasantry of Rus
sia to do with ' shaping the policy' of
the czar! Nothing at all. They are
imply the slaves of the soil, who ig-
noraatly believe that they should be
thaakful to God and the emperor
for the privilege of existence. Is
any matter of surprise that if, by cir
cumstances, they become educated to
the true status of affairs, they join
nihilistic societies, and attempt to ori
gin a form of government in which
Russians should have the controlling
influence! That such is the fact is
simply indisputable evidence that in
telligent patriotism is not dead in that
country, and that those "to the man
ner born" have some interest in the
.. land where their ancestors for centu
ries lived. And is it any wonder that
the lordly Spaniard, with the proud
Caatilian blood in his veins, should not
bear with meekness the rule of the
court at Madrid, whose paramount ob
ject appears to be its own aggran
disement and the perpetuity of the
reign of the ruling monarch. Even
in Great Britain what right has Queen
Victoria to be the ruler over 43,000,
- 000 people, whose ancestors have been
attached to that soil for nearly a
thousand years! There is no more ob
selete doctrine in this age of the world
than the divine right of kings, and
the supremacy of the nobility can
not be supported by any process of
reasoning. The world should be
republican, or, at least, every
. individual should hav6 some inherent
rights, with which no one should in
terfere. This is the line of advance
ment of . the nineteenth century, and
the brotherhood of man and father
hood of God should be universally ac
knowledged. That the mind of the
' Russian patriot or the liberty-loving
Spaniard, when reformation seems im
possible, should revert to the total de
struction of the existing forms of the
social fabric is the natural sequence
of the hopeless longing of patriots.
Anarchism is a political disease, and
it is impossible to eradicate it while
the present conditions exist. Ton nay
cure diphtheria and fevers by path
ological treatment, but they will recur
until the atmosphere is purified and
the causes which produced them have
been eradicated. In republics anar
chy only exists because the germs of
the disorder have been brought from
foreign countries, and the purifying
influence of free institutions will soon
work a permanent cure with all sane
men.
CURRENCY AND THE TARIFF.
The public mind in the United
States is agitated on two questions at
present currency and the tariff.
There are some who honestly believe
that the only remedy that can be ap
plied to the existing hard times is free
coinage of silver, and others who are
firmly convinced that the silver agita
tion in this country has caused the
financial depression lately experienced.
Ihe verdict of commercial nations is
in favor of a single standard ss
measure of value, and this conclusion
has only been arrived at after long'
continued experiments. Perhaps the
tariff question has not been tested in
as thorough a manner as that of the
circulating medium, and, aside from
the theories of some college professors
and the experience of Great Britain,
there are no indisputable authorities
in favor of free trade. England pur
sued a very stringent policy of protec
tion until 1846 when she changed to a
modified free trade not absolute. The
empire of Great Britain derives her
revenue from duties, but not on raw
materials. In this connection proper
consideration should be had of the
conditions in each and every country
Great Britain, aside from her colonial
dependencies, is not an empire of va
ried resources, and very many raw ma
terials have to be imported. To tax
these would cot protect the home
products because, in many instances,
there are none but would simply io-
crease tbe price of the article to the
consumer. This is not true of tbe
United States, for the variety of soil
and climate make it possible, without
ruinous foreign competition, to erow
almost everything that enters into tbe
manufacture of cotntnoditiea There
is the experience of commercial na
tions in favor of the sold standard as
a measure of value, and Great Britain
is the only successful country that is
the champion of free trade, and she
has every inducement to the policy she
pursues by reason of the paucity of
her natural resources.
The discussion of such subjects dis
tingaishes a faee people from those
under the sway of an absolute mon
archy. In Russia the peasantry takes
the nkase of the czir ns sacred as holy
writ, and only the students in the uni
versities possfss that patriotism which
induces them to call in question the
nht or wrong of implicitly obeying
the powers that rule. Freedom may
descend to uubridled license; but any
one who lias an interest in the govern
ment in hioh be resides either as a
property owner, subject or citizen
should have the privilege of cntcismg
the laws that govern him, and with
out this j rivilege he is little removed
from a herf or slave. Tbis inter
change of opinions in this country, on
the street and in newspapers and peri
odicals, is the indisputable evidence of
free institutions, and when it does not
exist the great republic will hove be
come simply another name for despot
ism. However much our opinion my
be inclined towards honest money and
the economic policy of protection, we
rre always delighted to hear a free
and frank discussion of these subjects
in ever? place.
But a few days will elapse before
tbe first Democratic congress for over
thirty years will convene in Washing
ton City, and tbe country is anxiously
waiting to see what legislation it will
pass. On August 7th President
Cleveland called a special session to
repeal the silver-purchase clause of the
Sherman act, and this has met, done
its duty and adjourned. Still the
pressure of hard times is felt in every
department of trade, and relief has
not come as promised. The ways and
means committee has drafted its new
tariff bill, placed several articles an
the free list, and manufacturers and
capitalists are tremulous that Democ
racy will wreck the industries of the
country by passing this bilL Repub
lican i will stand a solid phalanx
against free-trade legislation, but they
are in the minority, and are powerless
to avert this threatened disaster.
From all appearances there can be no
hope of business again becoming pros
perous and the wage-earner being em
ployed at remunerative wages until
1896, when the party of progress and
protection will be placed at the helm
of national affairs. Four years of
Democratic destructive legislation is
an appalling prospect to contemplate;
but there is no possible way to avert
it, and if our people will only learn
wisdom from this direful experience,
the American policy will not be jeop
ardized again by any insane desire for
change.
The defeat of the notorious Judge
Maynard and Tammany' at the last
election in New York has encouraged
ex Mayor Grace, ex-Secretary Fair-
cbild, and other independent Demo
crats to reorganize the anti snap move
ment of a year ago as a permanent
power against the dictation of Tam
many in the future. They will again
invite Democrats to put down their
names and pledge themselves to oppose
Tammany even by uniting with Re
publicans to defeat machine-made
ti-k-sts in New York city. They ex-
poc', also, to extend their organization
over the state to oppose tbe dictation
of the Hill machine in state politics,
and claim that they can control 250,-
000 Democrats in the state to defy
David B. Hill and drive him from
power should he next year try to con
trol the nominations for Governor and
other state offices.
xne iourtn volume ot t&e papers
accompanying .blount s Hawaiian re
port was given out by the state de
partment Saturday, and is of tbe same
import as those previously published.
It seems that tbe question has finally
settled down to one of fact be
tween ax-Minister Stephens and the
commissioner appointed by President
Cleveland. Every allegation made by
Mr. Bleunt may be true, and yet it
does net furnish the least evidence that
the international policy outlined by
the present administration is very
strong or very protective of theinter-
ests of the republic.
DEMOCRATIC SOPHISTRY.
The following which we clip from a
leading Democratic exchange in this
state, is clear evidence of the sophis
try to which that party resorts to sup
port its fallacy of free trade:
"The woolgrowers and the lumber
men of Oregon will naturally be op
posed to that feature of the Wilson
bill which proposes to transfer wool
and lumber to the free list. They will
oppose it on tbe supposition that a
duty on these articles is necessary to
uphold the price?. The fallacy of this
proposition has already been demon
strated in tbe case of wool, whioh to
day is not selling for as much as the
schedule rate. The McKinley law im
poses a high duty on wool, and yet the
market price for wool hardly pays for
clipping the fleece, much less for rais
ing the sheep. The same is relatively
true of the lumber product."
Wool-buyers and manufacturers
have expressed themselves on different
occasions during the last few months
that the reason they have not pur
chased the raw material was because
they expected it to bn placed on the
free list.and would be at a much lower
price. This is simply exercising ordi
nary precaution in business, and is the
rule that is followed by every mer
chant in this or any other country who
desires to be successful. It makes no
difference in trade circles about the
McKinley tariff being in force when
there is a well-grounded apprehension
that it will be repealed at an early
date, for men exercising the least sense
will buy as little as possible if there
are indications that articles will be
cheaper. Even our esteemed cotem
porary, in buying his stock of paper,
would not lay in a large supply, if he
thought in the near future the
market would be much lower.
With the endorsement of the
Chicngo platform for free trade,
with tbe pledges of ibe victorious
party given to the people that the
robber" tariff should be blotted from
our statute books, it is nonsense to
argue that because the doctrine of pro
tection was still in force that manu
facturers would buy an largely as in
former years when thsre were no
signs of any change in the economic
policy. During the past season there
were few sale of wool at any price,
and tbis was for the reason that free
raw materia! was expected after the
vote cast last November. . And these
apprehensions have been proved not to
have been groundless, for the ways and
mesne committeehas pi aced this pro
duct on the list of free articles, and
nothing, except a solid stand taken by
republicans in tbe next congress,
can save the country rrom being
flooded with Argentine and Australian
wool at a price that will be ruinous to
our sheep, raisers.
The Democracy should be satisfied
for the ways and means committee will
very likely place sufficient articles on
theree list to fulfill the promises of
the Chicago platform. Free trade has
been a Democratic- dream for years,
and now that party may rejoice and be
exceedingly glad in seeing their desires
realized. But it affords no encourage
ment to the hundreds of thousands
starving laborers in the country, who
have beer, thrown out of employment
by reason of factories closing down
and are now in a deplorable conditio
because they have no means of fur
nishing food for themselves or their
families. This new tariff bill says to
them, starve or leave tbe country; for
the economic policy of the' Democratic
party must be carrieJ out if every
American industry be destroyed
and want and poverty be the common
lot of wage-earners. There is a ray of
light in the hope that this measure
will not pass congress, and that the
Republicans in the senate will stand
as an impassable wall between Ameri
can citizens'and Democratic idiocy.
free trade is inaugurated the nation
has only experienced the beginning of
hard times, and instead of this being
the land to attract immigration it will
be the one from which to emigrate,
After that event the gates of Cast!
Garden will continually open outward.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The war in Brazil still continues,
and it is difficult to say . whether the
government or the rebels have the
advantage. This is said to be an at
tempt on the part of the revolutionists
to re-establish a monarchy, and if the
authorities in Washington City de
sires to firmly establish the Monroe
doctrine on this continent this is an
eligible opportunity, a much better
one than to interfere with the Ka
nakas in the Sandwich islands.
The northwest is directly interested
in protection, and without it the rich
resources will lack development. We
need factories to utilize raw materials,
and thase will not be inaugurated
without tbe gates are closed to foreign
competition. With proper safeguards
the states bordering or. the Pacific
ocean, in a few years, will manufac
ture almost every article needed by
the population; but without them these
states will remain for a long time in
an undeveloped condition.
The Hawaiian question isstill up
permost in the minds of the public,
and some editors appear to be deter
mined to make a little war in these
peaceable Sandwich islands. One, in
particular, proclaims that be would V
delighted to hear of the United States
marines being defeated by the forces
of the provisional government. Af
fairs in the Kanaka country will right
themselves, and we should have as lit
tle as possible to do with the Polyne
sian natives, Uninese and Japanese
who constitute the population.
California is determined to make
the midwinter fair a success, and the
citizens are using their best endeavors
in this regard. Our neighboring state
has always been renowned for enter
prise, and it rarely undertakes any
thing in which it does net succeed. It
has a fine climate, a rich soil and en
terprising people, and these will in
crease the wealth of any locality. Ore
gen should be fully represented at this
exhibition, and this state has fruit and
cereals which cannot be excelled any- -
where. There is an era of develop
ment for the Pacific coast which is
just dawning, and which will make
many agreeable changes in the next
few years. The world's fair at Chi
cago has impelled this forward, and
the midwinter one at San Francisco
will also tend to quicken development
ot the varied rich resources of the
western slope of the continent.
A thankful spirit is to be com
mended in a nation as well as in an
individual; but there are times when
prayer and fasting, significant of peni
tance, are more becoming, and per
haps this year of grace 1893 is one of
them. Business depression, want and
poverty and the prevalence of weather
destructive of the products of the soil
have been experienced. Under these
existing conditions to-morrow fchould
be a day in which earnest supplications
should be made to a beneficent Deity
to save tbe American nation from im
pending and any future misfortunes.
Candidates for the different offices
in this state are looming up quite
prominently in different portions of
the state, and the only difficulty to be
apprehended is that there will not be
enough offices to go around. It is to
be regretted that the legislature will
not meet before the day of election, so
that more positions might be created
and the ambition of all aspirants sat
isfied. Of course, it is well under
stood that in the next election the
Democrats will simply nominate can
didate while the Republicans will seat
whom they please into the different
offices. The Democrats will no doubt
as nsual hold conventions, and place a
ticket in the field; but their fun will
end with this, for their votes will not
count any more than a drop in the
bucket.
The New York Sun prints an arti
cle on "Impending Economic, Indus
trial and Social Changes," in which it
wakes the prediction that the farmer
will soon be on top and have thingi all
his own way, because the area of ground
suitable for cultivation has nearly all
been absorbed and the effects of a
monopoly of the land must necessarily
make itself felt. This may cause the
worthy agriculturist to congratulate
himself until he reflects npon the fact
that tbe prices of products of the farm
have steadily decreased of late years,
although the production of wheat has
remained nearly stationary, while the
consuming population has increased
greatly. If in the face of such con
ditions prices can be manipulated so
that the farmer cannot pursue his avo
cation profitably the probabilities are
very strong that he will not be al
lowed to grow rich too rapidly, even
when all the free land is absorbed.
Tbe tariff bill drasted by the ways
and means committee appears to please
the English press, and this is one ob
ject it has accomplished. British
statesmen, ever since the adoption of
free-trade by that country, have la
bored bard to bring the commercial
nations of the world to' their manner
of thinking on tbis subject. The Cob
den club has scattered thousands of
pamphlets broadcast over the world to
accomplish this object, and has been
very particular to have this country
well supplied during every presiden
tial campaign. Its labors have been
fruitless until last year, when the
Democratic party on a free-trade
platform was successful, and now the
draft of the bill to be presented to the
nert congress meets its unqualified
approval. If the United States can
be added to the list of free-trade na
tions the Cobden club will be joyfu'
and it will turn its attention to other
fruitful fields of conquest.

Harvard and Pennsylvania.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 80 With

A RESCUE THAT COST A LirZ.
He Saved the Young Lady, bat Slipped and
Was Dashed to Piece.
I witnessed a most heroic incident
many years ago. In 1865 two ladies
and two gentlemen went over the
Susquehanna river, opposite a small
town in Pennsylvania, to a place call
ed Peter Steps. To get to Peter Steps,
which is on a bluff 150 feet high, you
had to go by a back road. On top of
the steps were two tall pine trees,
eight feet apart, and to tie a rope to
the trees and 6wing out over the
bluff was the object of the party.
After the gentlemen had been swing
ing some time one of the ladies want
ed to swing. Annie, a beautiful girl,
got in the swing, and after a short
time she exclaimed : "Give me a good
push. I want to go out so I can see
the road below." We did so, when
snap went the rope, and with a terri
ble scream Annie went crashing down
on the rocks.
Almost scared to death we ran to
the road below. We could not see
Annie, but on looking up there she
was. Her clothes had caught on a
small scrub oak tree, and she was
hanging betwoen heaven and earth.
By this time a crowd had gathered
on the road below. Everybody was
excited and was wondering how to
get her from her perilous position.
Just at this time Harry Saylor came
running tip the road. Seeing what
was wrong, he went up the back road
to the pine trees, and catching the
rope that was used for the swing de
scended. But, alas, the rope was too short.
He did not wait for a longer one, but
inch by inch he picked his way to the
oak tree, and by the greatest exer
tion he managed to get her to the
base of the tree. Once there even he
dared not leave go of Annie or the
tree. In the mean time a longer rope
was procured, and tying it around
Annie's waist she was landed safely
above. Not so with Harry. When
near the top, he slipped. Down he
went, landing on the rocks below, a
bruised and bleeding mass.
Gently and tenderly was he taken
home, but his work on earth was
done. On the stone that stands at
the head of his grave are these words,
"Sacred to the memory of a man who
bravely gave his life for another."

A Glimpse of New England Life.
Apropos of character sketching are
the following little bits of New Eng
land life seen on a train the other
day. A couple of middle aged coun
try women entered the car at a way
station. One, dressed in seam worn
black and carrying a bright yellow
pumpkin took the inside seat, and
her companion, settling herself on the
extreme edge of the remaining half,
arranged various bundles comforta
bly around her. Presently they en
tered into conversation. "Hevyou
Been Mis' Brown lately?" inquired she
of the bundles. "Why, hevn't you
heard J" returned the owner of the
pumpkin. 1
Her voice sounded aggrieved. "Mis'
Brown an I don't speak jest now,"
she went on. ' 'It happened like this.
Twas at the last sewing circle. We
were sittin side by side out to supper,
an when the biscuits come along I
broke mine open an says I to her,
'Well, I must say I've eat better bis
cuits 'n these. Ain't they spotted t'
Well, them were Mis' Brown's biscuit
an since then she and me ain't
spoke." "You don't say," commented
her companion. "Hadn't Christians

Attention Paid to Walking;.
It is enough to imagine the un
feigned amazement of a dame of the
old school if the proper position of
the feet in walking were made a
matter of doubt. For years the
dancing master's standard in all
uiuiuug uioabcro euiuuu.ru 111 ail
matters of carriage and walk has
umu uu uiiuuesuuueu uiie. xiie 1111
de siecle young woman, however,
has a mind of her own. She has not
found that the conventional train
ing of the dancing master, valuable
as it undoubtedly is, was all suffi
cient in producing that grace of car
riage and elegance of manner so de
sirable in the woman of the world.
On the contrary, she has found
that tbe physical training of the
woman of the stage has been more
often conducive to the desired end.
Hence it is that schools of Delsarte
have sprung up all over the land,
and systems of physical training, in
cluding boxing and fencing, hereto
fore relegated to the sterner sex,
have found patronesses in plenty.

An Aged Man's Amusement.
Henry RusselL the veteran com
poser of "Cheer, Boys, Cheer," passes
half the day in making miniature
chests of drawers. They are in every
respect a work of art, each drawer
fitting with a truly remarkable exact
ness. The dear old gentleman has a
room on the ground floor of his
charming house especially set apart
for his work, and therein may be
seen all kinds of tools and nails, two
benches, tins of paint, glue pots and
large planks of wood.
He never attempts to make any
thing else but these little chests of
drawers, and he often sends them to
charity bazaars, where, if his auto
graph is on them, they have been
known to fetch as much as 2 or 3.
Thus he provides himself with an in
nocent amusement and does good at
the same time. London Tit-Bite.

A gentleman who has recently re
turned from Europe tells of an odd
superstition m vogue among the more
ignorant classes of seamen. They
are of the opinion that the presence
of a young couple on their bridal
tour aboard ship portends a violent
storm. The Canadian, an Tnman
.steamship, had a young couple
aboard, and sure enough the ship
was caught in a hurricane. A num
ber of the sailors were intent upon
throwing them overboard, and only
the courage of the captain, who op
posed the mutineers with a revolver
in each hand, saved the lives of those
who were enjoying the first weeks of
their honeymoon. Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette.
The Families of Pattsnon.
Tompkins with a "p" is not more
significant than Patterson with two
"t b" if tradition is to be trusted. Ac
cording to the story that has come
down from the 16th century, the Pat
tersons all spelled the name with one
"t" before Queen Elizabeth set about
marking those of her subjects who
left the ancient Catholic faith and
cast their lot with the Church of Eng
land. She insisted that all the Prot
estant Pattersons' take to themselves
a second "t," and since that time
many have followed that mode of
spelling the name. New York Sun.
