WHY Is 1T ?

Yes why is il {? That while almost
every town and city of Importance in
the state has contributed something
toward the relief of the food sufferers,
and the papers are crowded each day
with reports of boundless gifts from
other states, that Sedalia has as vet
done nothing Do our people feel
certain that they are secure alike from
food and storm and nav never need
the helping hand of their fellow men?
Or is it seifshness, mere thOugntless-
ness or a waiting for some one to take
the initiatory, is responsible for this
unwonted and unseemlv laxity of
a plain duty. If the latter, then for
want of better leader the BAzoc
cheerfully offers its services and sug-
gests that two-bit with the privilege
of an unlimited increlse to those who
can afford it anu feel Inclined would
be good plan. Books are now open
ed to the people now on earth ard to
our citizens, subscribers and readers, we
say send in your quarters and We will
publish the list as it comes to us, for
ward the money and publish the ac-
knowleagment Of its receipt. Who
will be the first to place their name
on the roll of honor? The BAzoo

To VIM. Fox.

Nevada Nail
Mrs ID. f. Fox, the mother Of VIM. Fox
recently executed here, has sent the follow
ing lines, dedicated To her son, To the Mail
for publication. There is TO love like
that of mother. No sacrifice too great
for her TO make. No time when she fOrgets
the memory of her dead or no crime which
she will not pailiate or excuse To exempt
his name from odium. Poor Mrs. Fox
Often she feels the hard grasp of want. Sor-
row is a constant companion, and distress
daily visitor, but she forgets her own
hard struggles and while her mind dWells
fOndly on the memory of her dead boy,
the pain at heart is harder. when she re
members the world looked upon him as
murderer and an outcsst. There is but
one solace, and that is the belief that he
was truly penilent, and numbered among
those who came in at the eleventh hour:
Where We Oft hsve gone in gladness
On the hoiy Sabbath d,y,
Slowly now with grief and sadness
Each pursu~s his lonely way.
One we love has left our number
tor the dark and silent tomb;
Closed his eyes in deathless slumber,
Faded in his early bloom
Hear us, Savior.
Thou hast blest the lonely tomb.
Through its dark and narrow portals,
Once they bore Thee to Thy rest
There's ray of light immortal,
Like sunbeam from the west.
From our circle, dearest son,
Early hast thou passed away;
But the angels say our Willie
Lines our holy songs to-day.
Weep no longer, dearest wife,
Jesus, he will wipe our tears.

REPRESSION IN RUSSIA.
Government severity with Journal
ism~-Porbidden Books
Ichicago NswAI

lChicago Nswsl
Deeming the press the most dangerous en-
envy to despotism, the Russian government
continues its old-time severity with Journal
ism. Private property In newspaper enter
prises has no rights whatever hat the gov
eminent is bound to respect. Government
makes its own laws Of ofIenses, itself Judges
their violation, and without court or trial in
hicts such punishment as 1t deems advisable
by its own standard. A paper may be sus-
pended for a time, or suppressed altogether.
The authorities may forbid it sale upon the
street, or forbid it 20 publish advertisements.
The government dislikes to openly suppress a
paper, but is not above accomplishing its end
cowardly and indirectly.
Not long g it became displeased with
The NovotcherkAsk Don, The Kama Gazette
and The Tifis Obzor. No paper is permitted
TO discuss political matters at all, or sven to
print governmental news that has not been
given out officially. Notwithstanding the vlgi-
lance Of the local censors-there Is u censor
for every town in which a paper is printed
these Journals had contrtved to print "a few
lines OF political information. They were
ordered TO send their proofs TO the censor at
Moscow, instead Of 10 the local censors. As
the Journey to Moscow and back takes seven
days from Novotoherkask, twelve days from
Kama, and twenty days from Tinis, the
news became ancient before it could be pub
lished. and two Of the discouraged editors
have suspended their papers.
Book stores are quite as carefully guarded
as newspaper offices. Keen watch is kept
for the appearance of pamphlets or books
containing seditious writing. foundations of
such works as those of Agassiz, Bagehot,
Huxley, Zola, Lassalle, Lubbock, Lecky,
Louis Blanc. Loves, Lyall, Marx. Mill, Re
clus, and Herbert Spencer can be sold only

III DAILY Pres. vs.. h Magazines.

lSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
There is not a point In which the magazines
are not beaten ON their own ground by the
daily press, whether IL Is in news, in excel
lence of literary or scientific matter, or in the
formation OF public opinion. The vast
amount OF capital now invested in the daily
press compels excellence and the lively com
petition insures 1t. The daily papers are
really c-ompendiums OF everything good In
the history, life, thought and literature OF
the day; the magazines can be no moro than
this, and are thus forced to no small degree
TO follow in the steps Of the dailies.
or course news Is a held the magazines do
not try, other than in the most unsatisfactory
way, TO cover; but in general literature ar
ticles are every day published In the daily
papers equaling in depth Of thought and ele-
gance of diction any that appear in the
magazines The reason of this Is twofold.
First, writers do not desire to wait, after
preparing an article, till they are gathered to
their fathers in the hope Of its appearanee;
and second, the pay offered by first-class
papers for such matter as they want is at as
high rates as that given by the magazines,
while their demand for and consumption OF
1t are much greater.
There Is also, perhaps, a third considerA-
ton which is taking the better class OF writ
ers from the magazines-the fact that matter
printed in a great daily paper Is read by thou
sands, whereas in a magazine 1t would have
only its tens OF reader. All these contribut-
ing causes have helped TO break down both
the circulation and the influence OF the maya
zines, while the daily and weekly press have
been more than proportionally built up. 1t
is certain we shall in future have fewer
magazines than now, but whether they will
be better Is an open question The proba
bilities are that such as survive will owe
their continued existence TO the adoption Of
specialties, and will find their subscribers
among the ranks OF specialists.
