ST. Lous, August 5.-The Republican re-
ceived very late last night the following
special from Laredo, Tex:
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1882-06-02
sunday in Russia.

In Russia Sunday is the favOrite
shopping day of all classes. Although
the evil of this has been pointed out by
most foreign writer's in Russia, and by
many native ones, it is only of late
years that public feeling has been
awakened in the matter. This has
been partly due to the discomfort
evinced by the classes exposed to Sun
day work, but more particularly to the
influence of that evangelical movement,
within and without the Russian church,
which is one of the most interesting
features of modern Russia progress.
Archdeacon BOgoyavlensky recently
preached a sermon i'll one of cathedralS
of Moscow, the theme of the venerable
ecclesiastic being the Sunday closing
movement, in favor of which an i'm
mense petition signed by most of the
clerks at st. Petersburg, has Just been
presented to the Emperor. Referring
to this, and to Il discussion by the Mos
COW Municipal Council on behalf of the
movement, the archdeacOn demanded
of the orthodox "whether they were
not ashamed to open their shops on Il
Sunday, when the shops of the for
eigner, of the English and German
merchants at Moscow, are closed on
that day" The preacher even insisted
on the good example set by the Jews,
chose unabashed Unchristians, who
will not sell even loaf of bread on
the Sabbath" and demanded of the
"OrthodOX of Moscow" whether they
ought not to blush at their inferioIity
in this respect. at is not often" says
The London Globe, "that Russian ec-
clesiastics speak out in the style adopt
ed by Archdeacon Bogoyavlensky, and
his references to the Jews were further
all the more pointed because of the
Superlative tone adopted at the mo-
ment by the press and public of Mos
COW toward the unfortunate and much
maltreated Hebrew. On this account
it is satisfactory to learn that the ser
mon in question has been widely dis
tributed throughout Russia, where it
is to be hoped that it may have the
twofold effect of checking the evil of
Sunday shopping, and promoting great
er respect for the jew"

Couldn't Fool the City Editor.

"Would you be kind enough to pub
lish II notice of our Sunday school ?"
asked a grave gentleman of the city
editor of the Brooklyn Eagle. "And
you might incidentally speak of me as
the superintendent" "Certainly." re-
piled the city editor, opening his note
book. "What is the amount ?" Il
should think half column enough
replied the grave man. "Oh don't
hegrudge the space but how much
will cover the total loss Pn II don't
understand YOU" said the grave man.
"Well, when did the directors make
the discovery ~ exclaimed the city
editor, impatiently. "Did you confess?
or did they examine the books ~ Il
am mt loss to know what you mean.

school, and I'd like notice in your

man. GLOW am | going to write no

grave man, mildly. II am "A respecta-

"My good sir" protested the grave
man, ''you entirely misapprehend

leaning back in astOnishment. "What
are you clamoring around here after
notice for Git, now :" and the city
editor grabbed the grave man by the
collar and elbow and shOveled him
down stairs. "Who was he ?n asked
the managing editor. "a snide ~ re-
torted the ruffied city editor. "He
came around here trying to play him

tendent, when he didn't know the first
principles of the racket. He may get
1t off on some young man, but he
couldn't play it on me for cent !"

GIeaningS.

A fashion paper evidently thinks it
is telling the fashionable people of this
country something new when it re-
cords the fact that gentlemen are tax
ing to wearing bracelets, and says that
in England the Prince of Wales, the
Duke of Edinburgh and other tip-tOp
chaps have gold bands on their wrists
constantly. Now there is no news in
this announcement in Boston, where
hardly day passes without ones see
ing i'll the street gentleman with
bracelets on. As a general thing the
gentleman is very drunk and has po
liceman on each side of him, but these
details may well be lost sight of in
consideration of the general truth
which this paragraph was intended to
emphasize.-B Boston Journal.

Adirondack Murray's Down
fall.

V. A. FenHer, formerly of Sherman,
writing from San Antonio, Texas, says
that among the noted residents of the
vicinity, Rev. w. II. H. Murray, "Ad-
irondack Murray" as he is usually
called, is here, fallen giant indeed,
with none so poor as to do him rever-
ence. When he fled from Boston, his
fair haired private secretary, II young
lady, followed his fortunes and has
since lived with him. Last year her
heart-broken father came for her, and
after a despairing effort to get her to
return with him, which proved inef-
fectual, the poor old man, disgraced,
broken i'll spirit, alone in the world,
and almost penniless after his long
search after her, blew out his brains at
the very threshold of Murray's door.
Only last Sunday-Sunday, mark you
! saw him at San Pedro Springs un-
loading, with his own hands, II wagon
load of cedar ties that he had hauled
from his little place for the street rail
road company. He was without coat.
vest or collar, dirty and unshorn, and
it would take a keen eye, as Il Boston
man remarked to me, to detect in him
the idolized preacher of one of the
proudest pulpits in the Hub Lock
port Journal.

Fish and Meat as Food.

There is some danger, says the Ian
Get, of the fish question falling ont of
memory. This is not tolerated after
the interest which has been excited,
and for some time maintained, in con
nections with this important phase of
the food problem. Whatever may be
the nutritious value of fish as food
and we believe that to be very great
it must be evident that Il full and
cheap supply of fish would react so as
to produce lowering of the price of
butchers meat. The "purveyors," as
they like to be called, are encouraged,
and, in truth, enabled, to keep up the
price of flesh because there is nothing
to compete with it us staple of the
common food of the people. A revival
of the old and healthy habit of living
largely Oh fish would place the meat
supply Oh an entirely new footing.
This is manifest on the face of the
facts; but what may not be equally
apparent, though it is scarcely less
noteworthy, is the consideration that
nervous diseases and weakness in
crease i'll IL country as the population
comes to live on the flesh of warm
blooded animals. This is Il point to
which attention has not been ade-
quately directed. "Meat"-using that
term in its popular sense-is highly
stimulating, and supplies proportion
ately more exciting than actually
nourishing pabulum to the nervous
system. The meat-eater lives at high
pressure, and is, or ought to he, pc
culiarly active organism, like preda-
tory animal, always on the alert,
walking rapidly, and consuming large
quantities of oxygen, which are imper-
atively necessary for the safe disposal
of his disassimilated material. In
practice we find that the meat-eater
does not live up to the level of his
food, and as IL consequence he cannot,
or does not take in enough oxygen to
satisfy the exigencies of his mode of
life. Thereupon follow many, if not
most Of the ills to which highly civil
liZed and luxurious meat-eating classes
are liable. This is IL physiological
view of the food question, and it has
bearings on the question of fish supply
which ought not to he neglected.

The Pennsylvania Indepen-
dents.
A RINGING PLATFORM.

The Republicans of PENNSYLVANIA
who will not surrender their political
rights and who maintain the exercise
of their own conscience and Judgment
concerning public affairs, having as
sembled in state convention, do make
the following declaration of principles
and purposes =
First. We declare our attachment
to the principles of the Republican
party-trerdom, union, nationality,
equal rights before the law, mainte-
nance of the public faith, protection to
home industry-an we demand that
the record which has been so nobly
made shall he wisely and fearlessly
perpetuated.
Second. We declare that the nOmi-
nation and election of James A. Gar
field to the Presidency signified to us
the triumph of true reform in the
civil service and of an enlarged liberty
of action for the masses of the Repub-
lican party in the nomination of the
candidates and the conduct of their
affairs, and we deplOre the Overwhelm-
ing evidence presented to us in Penn
sylvania that the calamity ofhis assassi-
nation has been followed by an over
throw of these reforms in the hands of
his successor.
Third. We denounce the system
which makes patronage" and "Spoils"
out of the public Offices. We denounce
the practice of giving them to political
managers for use in advancing person
al. political ends. We denOunce the
removal of faithful and competent Off
GERS in the absence of public reason.
We denOUnce the practice of levying
assessments and demanding cOntribu-
| tions for party use for public officials.
| We denOunce severally and collective
| ly the evils and cOrruptiOns which ac-
| company the conduct of the govern
ment as "spoils SYSTEM" and which
are inseparable from such a method OF
administration, and we denOunce the
system OF "bOss rule" and "machine''
control, which when tamely endured
makes leaders into autOcrats and re-
duces the mass of citizenship into po-
litical bondage.
Fourth. We declare our purpose to
take up the work which fell when Gar
! field fell. We demand in place of the
.'spOils system" the reformation of the
civil service by law, so that the APP
pOintive places therein may be freely
open to all fit and industrious citizens,
and removals therefrOm shall be only
for good and sufficient public cause.
We demand, instead of the prostitution
of the public service to private uses,
its recognition as a high and honorable
/ trust to be administered for the peO-
pies benefit with efficiency, economy
and integrity. We demand, instead OF
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1882-06-02

the insolence, the prescription and the
tyranny of ''bossism" and machine"
rule, the free and conscientious eXer-
else of private Judgment in political
affairs and the faithful discharge by
those who assume representative trusts
of the expressed will of the people.
Fifth. We declare in favor of the
following party reforms /. That
delegates to state convention shall be
chosen by the people in the same man
ner in which candidates for the gener-
al assembly are nominated. ,. That
representation in the state convention
shall be by counties and shall be ap
poItioned according to their Republi-
can votes. 3. That state conventions
shall not be held without at least 80
days notice, nor, earlier than the sec
ond Wednesday in July, except in
Presidential year. 4. That the Re
publicans who voted for the Republi-
can candidate for President ut the Pres
idential election next preceding shall
be entitled to join in the choice of del
egates to the state and national con-
VentiOnS.
