# Littell's Living Age/Volume 135/Issue 1745/The Mennonite Communists

From The Pall Mall Gazette.
THE MENNONITE COMMUNISTS.
An interesting account of the Mennonites in Manitoba is given by the Winnipeg Standard. The Mennonite reservation, east of the Red River and about twenty-five miles south-east of Winnipeg, is now as well populated as any district of the province of Manitoba, and the most recent immigration has been directed to a reservation of seventeen townships adjoining the frontier and extending west of Red River to Pembina Mountain.
The settlement on the reservation first mentioned, called Rat River, consists of six hundred and fifty families and on the second reservation, called Dufferin, four hundred and fifty families have been planted. In addition thirty-three families have been have been settled near Scratching River, and a late arrival of thirty-five families will go to Dufferin.
Estimating five to a family, the Mennonite settlements of Manitoba contain a population of 5,865, which will doubtless increase steadily, but by no means with the volume of the past three years. There are Mennonite settlements in the Western States, but the land system there enforced does not admit of special reservations; and Manitoba has thus been enabled to present greater inducements for this class of settlers, the community being able to organise itself according to its traditions, including the rural village life of the "dorf" under which groups of families take their homesteads separately but throw them together and form a village or dorf.
Through these villages a street two chains wide is laid, and the plot divided into half-acre lots, with assignments for church, school or other public use. A tract most suitable for tillage is then selected in a block which is enclosed, and within which each head of a family cultivates his allotment. A hay meandow, held also in severalty, is chosen and the remainder of the consolidated homesteads is used as a range for cattle and other animals, which are attended by a herdsman, who is paid by the dorf. The village lots and other subdivisions are distributed by lot. The houses are comfortable heated by central brick overns. Each family has a yoke of oxen, two cows and poultry. The pig is not wanting, and there are five hundred sheep and one hundred and fifty horses on the Rat River reservation.

United States Supreme Court
87 U.S. 575
Longstreth v. Pennock
ERROR to the Circuit Court of Pennsylvania; the case being thus:
A Pennsylvania statute of June 16th, 1836, enacts as follows:
'The goods and chattels being in or upon any messuage, lands, or tenements, which are or shall be demised for life or years or otherwise, taken by virtue of an execution, and liable to the distress of the landlord, shall be liable for the payment of any sums of money due for rent at the time of taking such goods in execution: Provided, That such rent shall not exceed one year's rent.
'After the sale by the officer, of any goods or chattels as aforesaid, he shall first pay out of the proceeds of such sale, the rent so due, and the surplus thereof, if any, he shall apply towards satisfying the judgment mentioned in such execution.'
This statute being in force, Pennock rented a warehouse in Philadelphia to Wattson & De Young, at the yearly rent of $4500, payable in equal quarterly instalments. Wattson & De Young, the lessees, being in possession of the premises, and having therein a stock of goods more than sufficient to pay the rent if a distress had been made, were adjudicated bankrupts, and Longstreth, their assignee, took possession of the premises, and of the stock upon them. The landlord claimed of him the rent due and accrued up to the date of the issuing of the warrant in bankruptcy, and it having been paid to him under a stipulation to restore the same if the assignee were not allowed credit therefor on the settlement of his account, and he not having been allowed such credit, this action was brought by him to test his right to get back what had been so paid for rent accruing prior to the warrant, which was for much less than a year's rent. The Circuit Court adjudged that the payment was rightfully made, and that the assignee could not recover it back. The assignee now brought the case here.
Mr. J. C. Longstreth, for the assignee, plaintiff in error; Mr. J. B. Townsend, contra.
Mr. Justice SWAYNE delivered the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
87 U.S. 575
Longstreth v. Pennock
The assignee acquired his title to the movable property found on the demised premises, subject to the rights of all other persons. #fn-s-s The rent in question was for a period which terminated when the assignee took possession, and the entire period was within a year of that time. Before the commencement of the proceedings in bankruptcy, the defendants in error might have distrained; and it is agreed that the property upon the premises was more than sufficient to satisfy the demand. The statute of Pennsylvania, of June 16th, 1836, provides that where property under such circumstances is seized and sold under execution, the rent due for a period not exceeding one year shall be paid first out of the proceeds of the sale. This case is within the equity of that statute. #fn-s-s-s The question presented is one belonging to the local law of Pennsylvania. We think it was correctly decided by the Circuit Court.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

From Miscellaneous Poems
Of all the myriad moods of mind  That through the soul come thronging, Which one was e'er so dear, so kind,  So beautiful as Longing? The thing we long for, that we are  For one transcendent moment, Before the Present poor and bare  Can make its sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,  Glows down the wished ideal, And Longing moulds in clay what Life  Carves in the marble Real; To let the new life in, we know,  Desire must ope the portal;— Perhaps the longing to be so  Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is God's fresh heavenward will.  With our poor earthward striving; We quench it that we may be still  Content with merely living; But, would we learn that heart's full scope  Which we are hourly wronging, Our lives must climb from hope to hope  And realize our longing.
Ah! let us hope that to our praise  Good God not only reckons The moments when we tread his ways,  But when the spirit beckons,— That some slight good is also wrought  Beyond self-satisfaction, When we are simply good in thought,  Howe'er we fail in action.

246 U.S. 146
Locomobile Company of America v. Massachusetts
Argued: Oct. 19, 1918. --- Decided: March 4, 1918
An excise tax of $1,300 imposed on a West Virginia corporation for doing a local business in Massachusetts during the year 1915 is here in question. The state court sustained it. 228 Mass. 117, 117 N. E. 5. The corporation is engaged in manufacturing in Connecticut and sells its manufactured articles extensively in interstate commerce. It does both an interstate and a local business in Massachusetts. Each is of considerable volume, but the interstate is much the larger, although this is not material. The tax is of a designated per cent. of the entire authorized capital, and was imposed after the maximum limit named in St. 1909, c. 490, part 3, § 56, was removed by St. 1914, c. 724, § 1. As thus changed the statute is in its essence and practical operation indistinguishable from those adjudged invalid in Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Kansas, 216 U.S. 1, 30 Sup. Ct. 190, 54 L. ed. 355; Pullman Co. v. Kansas, 216 U.S. 56, 30 Sup. Ct. 232, 54 L. Ed. 378; Ludwig v. Western Union Telegraph Co., 216 U.S. 146, 30 Sup. Ct. 280, 54 L. Ed. 423, and Looney v. Crane Co., 245 U.S. 178, 38 Sup. Ct. 85, 62 L. Ed. --. This we have just decided in International Paper Co. v. Massachusetts, 246 U.S. 135, 38 Sup. Ct. 292, 62 L. Ed. --.
Judgment reversed.

# Letters of Two Brides/Chapter XXXVIII

September.
My dear,—There is lying for you at Chantepleurs a full reply to the letter you wrote me from Marseilles. This honeymoon journey, so far from diminishing the fears I there expressed, makes me beg of you to get my letter sent on from Nivernais.
The Government, it is said, are resolved on dissolution. This is unlucky for the Crown, since the last session of this loyal Parliament would have been devoted to the passing of laws, essential to the consolidation of its power; and it is not less so for us, as Louis will not be forty till the end of 1827. Fortunately, however, my father has agreed to stand, and he will resign his seat when the right moment arrives.
Your godson has found out how to walk without his godmother's help. He is altogether delicious, and begins to make the prettiest little signs to me, which bring home to one that here is really a thinking being, not a mere animal or sucking machine. His smiles are full of meaning. I have been so successful in my profession of nurse that I shall wean Armand in December. A year at the breast is quite enough; children who are suckled longer are said to grow stupid, and I am all for popular sayings.
You must make a tremendous sensation in Italy, my fair one with the golden locks. A thousand loves.

To George Sand
 Your name, dear George, while casting a reflected radiance on my  book, can gain no new glory from this page. And yet it is neither  self-interest nor diffidence which has led me to place it there,  but only the wish that it should bear witness to the solid  friendship between us, which has survived our wanderings and  separations, and triumphed over the busy malice of the world. This  feeling is hardly likely now to change. The goodly company of  friendly names, which will remain attached to my works, forms an  element of pleasure in the midst of the vexation caused by their  increasing number. Each fresh book, in fact, gives rise to fresh  annoyance, were it only in the reproaches aimed at my too prolific  pen, as though it could rival in fertility the world from which I  draw my models! Would it not be a fine thing, George, if the  future antiquarian of dead literatures were to find in this  company none but great names and generous hearts, friends bound by  pure and holy ties, the illustrious figures of the century? May I  not justly pride myself on this assured possession, rather than on  a popularity necessarily unstable? For him who knows you well, it  is happiness to be able to sign himself, as I do here,
 Your friend,  DE BALZAC.
PARIS, June 1840.

LETTERS OF A JAVANESE PRINCESS
By RADEN ADJENG KARTINI
TRANSLATED FROM THE ORIGINAL DUTCH
By AGNES LOUISE SYMMERS
WITH A FOREWORD BY
LOUIS COUPERUS
LONDON: DUCKWORTH & CO.
3 HENRIETTA ST., COVENT GARDEN
First published in 1921
​“When you sail from Chambra fifteen thousand miles on a course between south and southeast, you come to a great island called Java. And experienced mariners of those Islands who know the matter well say that it is the greatest Island in the world and has a compass of three thousand miles. It is subject to a great King and tributary to no one else in the world. The people are idolaters. The Island is of surpassing wealth, producing black pepper, nutmegs, spikenard, galingale, cubebs, cloves and all other kinds of spices.
“This Island is also frequented by a vast amount of shipping, and by merchants who buy and sell costly goods from which they reap great profit. Indeed, the treasure of this Island is so great as to be past telling.”
Marco Polo.
NOTE
The letters of Raden Adjeng Kartini were first published at the Hague in 1911 under the title, “Door Duisternis tot Licht,” (from Darkness into Light). They were collected and edited by Dr. J. H. Abendanon, former Minister of Education and Industry for Netherland-India. Many of the letters were written to him and to his wife “Moedertje”. Dr. Abendanon has given me permission to publish this English version, which is a selection comprising about two-thirds of the original book.
I also wish to acknowledge my debt to Dr. Leonard Van Noppen, who, when Queen Wilhelmina Professor of Dutch Literature at Columbia University, first called my attention to the book and told me something of Kartini’s story.

# Letters of Two Brides/Chapter XXXVII

Genoa.
My beloved beauty,—I was bitten with the fancy to see something of Italy, and I am delighted at having carried off Macumer, whose plans in regard to Sardinia are postponed.
This country is simple ravishing. The churches—above all, the chapels —have a seductive, bewitching air, which must make every female Protestant yearn after Catholicism. Macumer has been received with acclamation, and they are all delighted to have made an Italian of so distinguished a man. Felipe could have the Sardinian embassy at Paris if I cared about it, for I am made much of at court.
If you write, address your letters to Florence. I have not time now to go into any details, but I will tell you the story of our travels whenever you come to Paris. We only remain here a week, and then go on to Florence, taking Leghorn on the way. We shall stay a month in Tuscany and a month at Naples, so as to reach Rome in November. Thence we return home by Venice, where we shall spend the first fortnight of December, and arrive in Paris, via Milan and Turin, for January.
Our journey is a perfect honeymoon; the sight of new places gives fresh life to our passion. Macumer did not know Italy at all, and we have begun with that splendid Cornice road, which might be the work of fairy architects.
Good-bye, darling. Don't be angry if I don't write. It is impossible to get a minute to oneself in traveling; my whole time is taken up with seeing, admiring, and realizing my impressions. But not a word to you of these till memory has given them their proper atmosphere.
