TEMPERANCE IN RUSSIA.
TCbicago Tribune,1


The Russians, in their anxiety to di-
minish the consumption of spirits, are
proposing to reduce the duty on beer,
and are vehemently opposing the re-
cen proposal of the Russian minister
of finance to raise the import duty on
tea. The Moscow Gazette ridicules
the idea that tea should be regarded as
an article de luxe in Russia, where
even among the poorest classes, tea is
the only beverage that W the peo-
pie from the evil effects of drinking
impure water, and greatly reduces
the consumption of alcoholic drinks.
1t is pointed out that if the duty is
raised, smuggling will be carried on to
a much greater extent, and public
health will suffer by a~dulteration. In
support of this statement that tea is
the chief drink among all classes in
Russia, the Moscow Gazette publish
es statistics furnished by experts en-
gagged in the ted trade with China, &C
cOrding to which Russia consumes 80
Cer cent. more tea than England.

PENDLETON TELLS HOW HE SERVED
HIS PARTY.

CINCINNATI, April lin his speech
at the dinner given in his honor last
night, ex-S Senator Pendleton, the new
minister to Germany, said that he had
always been a partisan democrat, but
he believed that he who served his
country best served his party most ef-
fectively. He had sought to serve his
party by seeking to promote its purity
and honesty. There was no abuse of
public office too small to deserve re-
proof: there was no act of wrong in
public life but had its origin in selfish
motives, and that found its support
among "lewd fellows of the baser sort"
who, if they could not defend the
wrong, could calumniate the motives
of those who opposed it. There was
no important vote of his which he did
not cast with a full appreciation OF his
responsibility to his constituents and
his country. He was willing % follow
his Judgment and his conscience rather
than to seek ephemeral applause, and
he felt willing to abide the honest YER
dict of the people upon his course.
There was no vote that he would change
if he could.
