in fact, for the good of this section.
In San Diego we already have an
official report of rainfall of 10-100
of an inch. 1t has rained also at
Santa Barbara and we have had a
light shower here. On both sides
of the Colorado violent storms have
interrupted railway communica-
tion-the longest interruption, in.

have had railway intercourse with
Yuma. AS we write, the indica-
lions of a storm abound on every
hand. The observant agriculturist
in this region would far rather see
the rainfall postponed at least a
month or six weeks. Only on the
supposition that it should prove
continuous, if 1t begins thus early
in Southern California. can we
hope to escape the threatened de-
struction of our pastures.

Is Russia Nationally Young?
Karl Blind in Contemporary Review.

Karl Blind in Contemporary Revlsw.l
Mr.. Gladstone, in an article In
which he spoke of the sample evil
dence of just and philanthropic
mindn in Alexander H., once de-
scribed Russia as NATIONALLY
young" No greater historical err
ror could be committed. Russia is
an old country; and the tyranny
of her rulers is of the most ancient
date. Vainly does the eye search
for period of popular freedom in
wandering over her imperial an
nails. From the ninth to the nine
teenth century the grim darkness
of the long Cimmerlan night Of her
oppression is but relieved here and
there by pale star of nascent lib
erty, whose uncertain glitter,
scarcely seen, rapidly vanishes
away. At the very time of the for
matien of the Empire we find a
dire despotism, "born with teeth In
it's head" And to this hour the
same tyranny, only in crueller,
more systematic form, holds the
nation in an abject thralldom
against which the nobler minds
among the better educated classes
before all the aspiring youth
carry on desultory warfare. The
earliest chronicles Of Russia show
us q people subjugated by foreign
warrior tribe, called Warangians,
who came from the Germanic
North. They were Norwegians,
Swedes, Angels, and Cloths, led by
chieftains whose names are all of
the clearest Teutonic type. 1t was
Rurik, with his brothers Sincus
and Truvor, who laid the founda-
tions of the realm in the ninth GEN.
fury and gave the country its name
and Its institutions. Slav, Finnic
and Tartar tribes, dwelling be-
tween the Finnish Gulf and the
upper course of the Dnieper, were
combined by these Teutonic War
angians into Russian Kingdom.
AT this time the word "Russian"
only signified the conquering race
even as the name of France rose
out of that of the conquerors of
Gaul, the German Franks. To this
day, thirty-nine princely families
in Russia. assert their origin from
the direct male line of Rurik.
Among these families are the
Oortchakoffs, and the Krapotkins,
one of the latter of whom recently
fell victim to the Secret League,
while another Krapotkin lives an
exile in Switzerland.

The Republican papers have of
late been full of fearful amount of
"rot" about Tilden's lack of popu-
larity at the South. The truth is
that Mr.. Tilden has hosts of friends
at the South though, here and there,
there are other men who would
be more acceptable to particular
Eoutherners. The Atlanta Georgia.
Oonstitution, the other day, put
this question in a nutshell. 1t says
that any man who is the NOM
inca Of the Democratic National
Convention is certain to receive
the support of the Southern people.
No one who has lived for year
outside of lunatic asylum can
doubt this fact. After all this Til
denphobia of the Republican press,
the cause Of Mr.. Tilden is dear to
the heart Of the American masses,
including, by the way, hundreds of
thousands Of Republicans; because,
In his person, can be most striking
ly vindicated the outraged majesty
of the American people. Such an
episode as the Eight to Seven
enormity of 1876 cannot be permit
ted to pass without signal and
memorable rebuke. The eight Su-
preme Court Judges of the United
States who declined to hear word
as to the equities OF that great ma
tional issue-who, in the phrase of
Mr.. Justice Bradley, pronounced all
questions Of right atiunde the in
quiry-will yet live to hear them.
selves hailed as modern editions of
che subservient Jeffries. Either
that, or the downward course upon
which we have entered will know
no pause short of a practical SUBJ
version of the Republic. No peo-
pie more fully than those of the
South appreciate the force of these
facts.

prior to the Constitutional cleo
ton, that in the Railway Commits
sion clause of the new Constitution
the people of California had a SOW
ereign panacea for all their ills re-

new Constitution was adopted by a
satisfactory majority; and, presto,
we have the old discussions renew

should be given chance to prove

Mics Tylney-Long, whose per-
sonality was lately sworn in Eng.
land under 5000, 900, was half.s lister
of the greatest heiress of her day,
Mrs. Wellesley-Pole, who owned
Wanstead Hall, in Essex, which,
up to 1922, was one of the finest
houses In England. The Queens
uncle, the Duke of Sussex, pro-
posed to marry her, but was re-
fused, and she gave her hand to
Mr.. Wellesley-Pole, son of the
Duke of Wellington's second BROTH
er. Within few years he sauan-
dered all hen property on which he
could lay his hands, and her home
was the scene of an auction which
lasted month, after which the
house, which had cost $1,000, 900,
was RACED to the ground and the
gardens plowed up. The site of
Wansted can now hardly be traced.
Mr.. w. Pole subsequently became
Earl of Mornington and survived
his wife some twenty-five years, an
object of contempt to every one and
supported by small pension from
the Duke of Wellington. His
second wife often applied for chart
ty from the police magistrates.
