TIL r. NIHILISTS.

Their mysterious Newspaper HotC IL Is
supposed TO be Printed.
In connection with the dispatches regard
lug the terrible condition of affairs in Russin,
the following description of the chief news
paper organ of the Russian revolutionary
party may prove interesting: That journal
publishes the sentences of the secret revolu-
tionary committees, desiguates those who
are to be the victims, and describes the sex
ecutions" carried ont by the Nihilist agents.
Copies of the paper are To be found every
where except where they are sought for.
They appear in the most unexpected manner
in the government offices, in factories, bar
racks and restaurants; The privy councillor
finds them folded up with his conservative
Journal, and the sergeant among his
reports. The Zomlla iSoa6oda is
published once or twice a month.
and the yearly subscription to it is
six roubIes The subscription is stated on
each paper to be payable at 'the known
places" where, il is added, various resola-
tionary pamphlets whose titles are given
may also be obtained. The shape of the
paper resembles that of the Allgemeine Zet-
tung. 1t is printed on course paper, in clear
type, though the printing bears marks of
haste. Ii is believed that each contributor
has set of types in his possession with
which be ''composesn his articles for the
press, so that the printing of the paper is
completed ia few hours On the day af-

into the workshop of the world received a
striking aud happy illustration the other
day. The scene was hereabouts, the
characters rising young merchant and
pretty young woman, lie had an affec-
tion for her, she liking for him, so they
became betrothed. After time she
fouud out that she didn't love him we'll
enough to marry him, and that match was
broken off. 1t was a severe blow, and he
staggered under it; but he fought we'll
for himself, protested that his life was

love him, and in all WAYS did the proper
thing. She was immovable, however. and
he sadly and reluctantly took his leave,
While his eyes were full Of gathering

national elections against the same local vio-
lenoe that would overthrow it.
THIS DISCRIMINATION
has never been attempted in any previous lesss-
lation by Congress, and is no more compatible
with sound principles of the constitution or
necessary maxims and methods of our system
of government on occasion of elections than at
other times. In the early Legislation of 1892
and of 1895. by which the militia of the States
was the only military power resorted to for the
execution of constitutional powers in support
of state or national authority, both func-
tons OF the government were put on the same
footing by the act of 1907. The employment
of the army and navy was authorized for tho
performance of
BOTH CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES
on the same terms. In all later statutes on
the same subject matter the same measure OF
authority to the government has been accepted
for the performance of both these duties. No
precedent has been found in any previous
legislature and no sufficient reason has been
given for the discrimination in favor of the
States and against the national authority, which
the bill contains. Under this sweeping terms
of the bill the national government is effect
ualiy shut tout from the exercise of the
right, and from the discharge of All
imperative duty To use its whole executive
power wherever and whenever required for the
ENFORCEMENT OF UNITED STATES LAWS
in places and on times where and when itf
elections are held, the employment of it's or.
ganized forces for any such purpose would be
an offense against the law unless called for by
and therefore upon permission of the authori-
ties of the State in which the occasion arises
What liz this but the substitution of the drec
ton of State government for the discretionary
government of the United States, as to the per
Torrance of its own duties. In my Judgment
this is an abandonment of its obligations by
the national government,
STANDARDIZATION OF NATIONAL AUTHORITY
and an extension of State supervision ovei
national duties which amounts in spirit and
tendency to State supremacy. Although | be,
heve the existing statutes are abundantly ad-
equate to completely prevent military inter
ference with the elections in the sense in which
the phrase is used in the title of this bill
and Is employed by the people of this country

additional legislation limited to that object
which does not interfere with the indispensa-
BILE exercise of the powers of the government

All About the Pulse.


Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse in
health; then by comparing it with what
1T was when he was ailing he mgy have
some idea Of the case Parents shatld
know the healthy pulse of each child as
now and then person is born with re-
markably slow or fast pulse, and the very
case in hand may be Of that peculiarly
An infant pulse is 40; a child of seven
years, about 50; and from twenty to sixty
years, it is 20 beats a minvte. declining to
so at fourscore. A heathful grown per
sons pulse beats seventy times a minute
There may lie a good health down to so:
but if the pulse always exceeds seventy.
there is disease. The machine is work
ing itself ont, there is fever and infiama-
ton somewhere, and the body is feeding
on itself, as in consumption, where the
pulse is quick, that is over seventy, gradu-
ally increasing with decreased chances of
cure, until it reaches 10 or 1870, when
death comes before many days; When
the pulse is over seventy for months. au1
there is a slight cough, the lungs are
ffected

The Art Of Advertising.

Some o. the queer things in business IS
the propensity of people to seek irregular
mediums for advertising. 1t is unac-
countablc the prices that some now pay
for sticking their advertisements IN irrcg
ular place. Especially is this 80 when
compared with their unwillingness 10 pay
anything lpr advertising in the regular
channels Men will pay large sums 'o
inserting their business cards in a section
Of "A frame in hotel, bar-room, street car,
railway station, or in hotel register or
an almauac, or guide-book, or annual of
one sory OF another. The by-ways they
seek, or that successfully solicit them, arc
nnumelabte. Likewise they will spend
large sums for printing special circulars,
and in postage TO send them. In all this
they ignore the most essential condition
in advertising, namely, that II has char
acter and effect from the medium through
which il is given to the reader. Adyer-
tisements thrust into irregular and unbusi
ness places impress the general mind
that the concern is Of similar
character On the other hand, an
advertisement in general newspaper of
first class standing carries the impression
that the advertiser has IA standing in his
own community, which he is not afraid
Ia show to his ncighbors, and that he
docs moi shrink from competition with

impressions that arc made on all minds
by advertising in journal olhlgh charac-
