mittee of clergymen: "Is is unjust Of You to
demand that others, who have = different view
OF the Sabbath from yourselves, shall be op-
pressed. Your churches shall be protected,
and the authorities will do all in their power
in order that services may nos be disturbed.

force the Ohio law, which is plsirly against

the closing of the gArdens.

THE NEW SOCIALIST PARTY IN Russia
A trial which took place before the st. Pc
tersburg Ssuate has thrown light on the
new Socialist propaganda, which seems to
be making coueiderab o progress in central
and southern Russia. Some fifty persons
were arraigned, of whom sixteen were
peasants and Ten were women, the oldest
man being only thirty six, and the oldest
woman but twenty five. These agitatoJs
had chosen for the theatre of their
movement the provinces of Vladimir and
Saratof, and the cities of Kief and Odessa;
but the principal committee sat at Moscow,
and it's members before founding it, had
gone to Switzerland for Instructions. This
principal board had under its orders, in
various localities, Il large number OF clubs,
to which it furnished firearms, revolution
airy tracts, and money. The most striking
facts disclosed in the proceedings were the
discipline which the new party has con-
trived to establish, the blipd obedience
with which its orders are executed. the
self devotion with which both men and
women belonging to the higher grades
of society consent to toll in factories
and workshops, in order to form close
relations with the working c4ass, and
finally the exceptional proportion OF peas
ants implicated in the case.
