The present financial condition Of Russia
!. causinefdo Questionable apprehension in
,,b.tcountry, and the 'press'is making ur-
cen, appeals for reform and eeonomy in
the administration Of the Government.
The Rusky Mr. states that the late war
cost about 1900, 10000 rnbles, besides
100000 rubles Of paper money issued,
and As much more added to the public
debt; and that the question now upper
mos, in the public mind Of Russia is
fnancial reform. 1t urges that the money
marke, should DO left to its own resources,
instead Of being supported and protected
As i, is now by the State Bank. 1t says:
THE financial resources Of the State
sbould be used for the advantage of the
natural products Of the country, and not
be directed to an artificial revival of the
currency. We must not only cease all
further issues Of paper money, but with
draw a portion ofit from circulation, for
its effect is to dcpreciate the value of the
labor and natural productions Of the eoun,
Try. The balance should be made up by
internal or external loans according to
the price OF the ruble."
The Exchange Gastte speaks strongly
asains, the further Issue Of paper money,
and says: mo more paper money should
be issued, and a solemn engagement
should be entered into. pIedging tho Gov,
eminent never and under no pretext to
put single paper ruble into circulation
whilst the State Bank should be converted
into private institution under State con
troll, but with its own capital and pOweroi
independent action" 20.

About one thing We can heartily con.
graduate ourselves, and that is the gallant
fight we have made for honest money and
the unity and good organization Of our
party on the subject. The Greenhack
craze has utterly wrecked and demoaliEed
the Democrats, while It leaves US com.
pact and earnest body, proud, even in
partial defeat, Of our position and Of all we
have done and said throughout the cam.
paign. For us defeat In good cause Is
honorable, but for The Democrats, what
shall we say2 They are broken and de-
feated,' they have deserted their ancient
faith without espopsing q new one, they
are without principles, aims or CO.
herence. Whetherin defeat or victory We
say what we mean, and Know weare right.
Soon or late we must attain complete vic.
tory, for right, honesty and decency Is
sure to prevail, and 50 We so hopefully
about fighting the good fghi again With

Theories Or World. Making.

Acco ding to the crude opinions pre-.
Yelling during the infancy of uacrn
science, matter and motion were al re-
uircd for cal ing u world into exist
cnrc; but II wa soon {, und hat unless
in tkc beginning, the materials whic
FORM Il the solar system moved with a
certain order ard regularity, they could
never have arisen from the chaotic %
the cosmic,l condition. A. all the plan.
cts move round the sun in the same
direction, Laplacc was led Ia believe
that in remote times all mus, havo been
connect d together; and such primitive
connection might he afforded if the sun
aud his attendants were r ginally Il
vast tire mist, their matter being So
much ~attrHuatrd by heat that il eX.
tended far beyond its boundaries of the
solar donna II. He PIP : Il that such
an immense rarciied mass, on being set
in motion by some cause which he does
not specify. would ultimately be com
PEELED by its own friction and by gray
ity. Ia rota g with II uniform angular
Velocity in all its parts and around a
common center. In accordance with
the principles Of physical astronomy he
concluded that this rotation would be-
come ~ rapid rs the immense solar
ncbula cooled aud contracted. until ut
last the 4 ntrifugal force became great
enough To owe come gravity and to
throw oil matter from the equator of
tn whirllng m -. Laplacc con idGrcd
that, under the most probable circum
stances. the ucbulouS matter thus
thrown OIL q abandoned by the shrink
ing sphrroid. would all collect together
tn form II planet; but that. in some I'M
usual eases. it would assume the ex.
banded figure of n vast solar ring; and
that under certain conditions. it might
break up into u number IF asteroids.
The singular group Of bodies revolving
between Mars and Jupiter, is supposed
to hav, come into existence In conse-
n ence Of some rare accident. which
made the great solar ring aprey to ma
ny ccnters of aggregation, instead of
allowing II To cOalesce around q single
one. In all other cases the cooling and
contraction are said to have been sue
cessful in giving birth to a great plMl.et
wherever the centrifugal force became
sufficient To separate the equatorial por-
tions of the rotating solar nebula. Ac-
cording to the views Of Laplace. Nep-
tune must be regarded rs the first. born
world of those already known; while
Uranus is next in age, and the other
planets were launched into being in v
succession depending on their dist nces
from the sun; So that Mercury is the
youngest member of the solar family.

What should be- the Aim " the Modern
Teacher.

As 500 ~ PSYCHOLOGISTS had discov.
cred that all the faculties of the intel
lcct, however originating orupon what
ever exercised, were functions of u ma
tcrial organism Of brain. absolu,cl,
dependent upon its integrity for their
manifestation. and upon It's growth and
development for their Improvement. il
became apparent that the true office Of
the teacher of the future would he to
seek to learn tho conditions by which
the growth and the operations Of the
brain were controlled. in order that he
might be- able to modify these condi.
tions in u favorable manner The alb
straction Of tho mind WAS 80 far set
aside rs To make II certain that this
mind could only act through a nervous
structure. and that the structure WAS
subject to various influences for good
or evil. 1t became known that u brain
| cannot arrive nj healthy maturity eX-
cepting by the assistance of u sufficient
supply Of healthy blood-that. il to say,
Of good food and pure air. 1t also be.
came known that the power OF II brain
will ultimately depend very much upon
the way II which II is habitually eXcr-
CiScu, anu tHHl NV pTaCtice vi sVHools
in this respect left n great deal to be
desired. A large amount of costly and
%pretentious teaching fails dismally for
no other reason than because II is not
directed to any knowledge of the mode
OF action of the organ To which tho
teacher endcavors to appeal; and men
tai growth in many instances occurs in
spite of teaching rather than on ac-
count of It, Education, which might
once have been defined ~ an cndeayor
to expand the intellect by the introduce
ton Of mechanically compressed facts,
should now be defined ~ an endeavor
%favorably to influence u vital process;
and, when so regarded, its direction
should manifestly fall somewhat into
the hands of those by whom the nature
of vital processes has been most com.
pletely studied. In other words. it be-
comes neither more nor less than u
branch of applied physiology; and
psychologists tel. us with regard to 1t
that the common processes of teaching
are open to the CRATE objection that
they constantly appeal to the lower CEN
ters of nervous function, which govern
the memory Of and the reaction upon
sensations, rather than to those higher
ones which are the organs OF ratiocina-
ton and Of volition. Hence u great
