"H.N. r. writing to the Cincinnati

THE BLACK SEA.
Official Russian Account oftho Settlement
Of the Question.

The following remarkable article in
the Government Messenger. of st. Pc
tcrsburg, gives the official Russian ac-
count of the settlement of the Black Se:,
question: ..Fnr fifteen years Russia has
strictly fulfilled the obligations of the
treaty of Paris, OnerOus as some Of them
were for her dignity. Meanwhile pO-
Iit;ca1 events had made considerable
changes in the provisions ofthis treaty,
and in the course of time the position
of the European powers in their rela-
tions towards each other had become
essentially modified. 1t was impOs-
siblc for Russia to submit any longer to
the restrictions which had been inn
posed on her on the Black Sea, which
bathes the Russian coasts, after the in
ternational relations of the other States
had become so remarkably altered.
! The Imperial Cabinet notified to Eu-
rope by the Imperial ChanceIIor's cir
cular of the 10th of October that it no
longer considered itself bound by the
! restrictions relating to the Black Sea,
and that his Majesty the Emperor had
resumed his full sovereign rights upon
that sea, leaving at the same time the
other sovcrciEns free to resume their
entire extent. notwithstanding the
violent and biased declarations of many
| organs of the European press, the great
| powers which had signed the treaty of
Paris did not look upon our circular as
| Il prOVOcatiOn addressed to Europe, nor
| as an indication of secret plans against
her peace, but as Il frank and moderate
notification; and they resolved, ut the
suggestion of the North German Con-
| federation, to assemble in conference
| for the purpose of bringing this Motif
nj i,r infD hnr a.
treaty of 1856. Our Cabinet gladly ac-
ceptcd the invitation to take part in
| this conferences, more especially AS in
| the circular of the 10th Of October it had
already bcrn stated that his Majesty
| was disposed to conclude any new in
| tcrnatiOnal agreement whose object il
| should be to strengthen the prospects
of universal peace. While securing the
dignity of Russia, the labors of the con
ference were greatly impcded and dc
layed by the contemporary pOlitica
events; but from the very beginning
all the Powers expressed IL readiness t.
solve the questions in II spirit OF pcac
and Justice. In yesterdays number .
the Government Messenger Il Telegram
was printed announcing that n new
treaty had been signed at the LondOI
Conference which abolishes those arti
clcs of the treaty of Paris That limited
the sovereign rights Of Russia and Tur
key on the Black Sea. There can be
no doubt that not only all Russians, but
all friends of peace and Justice, will
heartily rejoice ut this work of Euro,
pcan diplomacy. 1t limits no ones
rights, it docs not demand any sacrifices
while it has restored rights which had
been violated, removed II symbol of in.
tcrnational distrust, and strengthened
the intimate relations of the European
States. 1t is prc-cmincntly n work o
| peace and juSticc.'

Fight Your Way Up.

The many who have taken the world
rough and tumble are prone to envy
the few who roll through it unjOlted in
cushioned vehicles on patent springs.
The tOilcr, as he stumbles through its
thorny thickctS and climbs over its
notwithstanding gravel, is apt to curse
the ill-luck that placed him on such n
hard road, and to sigh for II seat in one
of the splendid cquipagcs that glide so
smoothly over Fortunes macadamiZcd
turnpike. Born with pewter spoon
in his mouth, he covets the silver one
which was the birthright of his do

Occupation is the '.immcdiatc jcwcll'
of life. 1t is true that riches are no bar
to exertiOn. quite the reverse, when
their uses are properly understood.
But the discontcntcd worker who pines
for wealth, without being willing to
labor for it, regards the idleness in
which it would enable him to live as
the acme of temporal happiness. He
has no idea of money as Il great motive
power, to be applied in enterprises that
give hcllthful employment to the mind
and body. All that he desires is, to live
Il fcathcr-bcd IifG-to loaf luXuriOuSly.
We have no sympathy with such sch
suOus lonGings. People who indulge
in them never acquire wealth. They
lack the energy to break their way to
the worldly independence for which
they ycarn and whine. They don't
know how nnuch more glorious it is to
tear at1luencc from opposing fate by
main strength of will and infiexibifity
ofpurposc, than to receive it as Il wind
fall. There is infinitely more Satisfac-
tion in conqucring a fortune than was
ever experienced by Il sIucky heir" in
obtaining the golden store that some
thrifty hand had accumulated. Your
accidental Crpsus knows nothing of the

Wine at two millions of dollars Il bot
tie is Il drink that in expense would
rival the luxurious taste of barbaric
splcndOr, when costly pearls were
thrown into the wine cup to give Il rich
flavor to its contents. The French
Courier speaks of Il wine which graced
the table of the King of Wurtemburg
on II late occasion, which was deposited
in the cellar at Bremen two and Il half
centuries ago. One large case of the
wine, containing five OXhOft or 2IO bot
ties, cost 500 rix dollars i'll 1924. In
Guiding the expense of keeping up the
cellar, and of the contributions, inter-
csts of the amounts, and interests upon

time 535, ,657 ,7S0 riX dollars, and consc-
quently II bottle is worth 2,723 ,Sl2 riX
dollars II glass, or the eighth part of II
bottle, is worth 3l0, l76 riN dollars, or

of Bremen is privileged to have one

guished guest, who enjoys a German or
European reputation. This fact illus.

The Text Books We Want.

The recent lecture OF General Gordon
in Memphis, in which he forcibly urged
the Importance of adopting throughout
the South a new and better system of
text books for schools, will doubtless
have the effect of inaugurating there
and elsewhere Il reform that is much
needed. The objection very properly
raised against many of the books in use
is not so much to their Northern orr
| gin and publication as to the fact that
they are not unfrequcntly tinged with
Northern or sectional prejudices. 1t is
complained of that they are politically
biased and historically distorted, and
for that reason unsuitable for political
instruction; that they are insidious We
hiclcs of untruthfulness in narrative,
and unsoundness in principle, and con-
sequently Il fraud in school literature
that derserveS to be exposed and repu-
dated.
There is so much truth and justice in
the complaint that we wonder it has
not been universally recognized, and
the only possible correction applied.
The Southern people cannot be
blamed if they shall finally take into
their own hands the business of COM
piling and publishing books for their
schools. AS n branch of enterprise, 1t
is feasible and comendable; but there Is
still the danger to be apprehended OF
their repeating the same errors which
are so strongly deprecated in the North
ern book makers. No advantage to
education or the fraternal relations of
the country will be gained by the adoF-
ton of IL purely sectional series ut one
end of the Union or the other. NO
pcrniciOus bias is to be remedied by
substituting another pernicious bias for
it. They viii not neutralize each 9TH
er, but only double the resulting evil.
What is really wanted is a truly
national system against which the
shafts of prejudice may fall hurtless-
one that shall defy the assaults of crit
icism from every quarter, and If the
South succeeds, ,.s she has but to make
the effort to do, in the production of
such n system, she will do herself inn
mortal honor, and convey the scvercst
possible rebuke to the partisan peda-
gogues and publishers, who now make
their business the medium of political
fnlschood.-iN. Louis Times.
