Ivan Psnin, who was lately deliv-
ering a course of lectures on Russian
literature in Boston, said in lecture on
Tolstoi "Tolstoi is, in Russian litera-
ture, the preacher, the inspired. He is
not the inspired of Russia alone, but OF
mankind. His voice is not the voice
of the nineteenth century, but the voice
of all centuries. 1t is not his voice that
speaks, but God who speaks through him.
God has not ceased to speak through
men. Tolstoi is the latest of heaven
sent inspirers. He is heaven.sent be-
cause he came to proclaim what is ever
lasting, that which was as true in the day
of Jesus as in the day of Ruskin. Toll
stoi came to proclaim not the old gospel
of death but the new gospel of life, the
gospel of reverence before God and love
of men. Tolstoi is a spirit who cannot
be approached with scalping. knife.
shall only point out how he differs from
the messengers Of God to which he be-
longs"

A MONOPOLY.

The popular eutcry against "monopolies''
| is to great degree unthinking and unjust.
It is pretty generally recognized that monop-
| olies may be very dangerous, and their bene-
fits are often overlooked. The Western
| Union Telegraph company is one of the mo-
| nepolies that are considered especially wicked
| It is interesting and instructive to see what
| can be said on the other side of the question.
DR.. Green, the president of the company,
has just been talking to a committee of the
New York legislature, and some of this facts
he gives are we'll worth the attention of
| those who think there is no good in a mo-
nopoly.
The Western Union corporation has en-
abled !, ,574 individual males, S71 individual
females, 292 firms and companies, 66 execu-
tors, SO trustees and II corporations and
banks to engage in the business OF tele-
graphing, whereas anyone oft them all would
be able to so employ his capital if he had to.
go into it alone. The practical consolidation
of telegraphing into the hands of one eerpo-
ration has enabled the public generally to
communicate by telegraph at rates which
swele, under the separate companies so large

community. Formerly the charge for an Or
dinary message from Portland, Maine, to
Portland, Oregon, was $16.50, and from
Portland to New Orleans S. SO. Now the
same message costs only one dollar. At the
same time rapidity of communication has
been SO improved that whereas formerly no
one expected reply from any great distance
the same day, now the sender often waits at
the sending Office for his answer. In 1868,
soon after the separate companies were con-
solidated into the Western Union, 2, ,4O4 900
messages were sent; in 1887 the number was
Al, 500, ,000 When the Western Union began
busin SIS with the consolidated companies
message cost 63 4-10 cents to send; the sender
was charged $1.07 for it. Now the cost of
sending is % cents, at an average cost of
80 410 cents to the sender Its lines of poles, if
continuous, would six times encircle the
earth. They are spread over third of the
habitable globe. Over 10000 people draw
their means of livelihood from its earnings,
and civilization enjoys it's facilities.
These are impressive facts. We call atten-
ton to them to show how completely those
who rail- against nonopolies ignore their ben
efts. Monopolies look bad, and some of
them are bad, but they are not entitled to
indiscrininate condemnation.

Reports are current, and from all
that can be learned, well founded,
that the past week witnessed free buy
ing on English orders. The sales
made are said to be chiefly from sec
ond hands, particularly the Columbia
river fish, at prices reserved, but
claimed to have been at $l65 to ST.
671a I. o. b. at Astoria. The Carquinez
brand of Sacramento river pack has
been taken for export at S150 f. o. b.
here. Several goods sized parcels of
Alaska are also reported to have been
taken for export at S1.3715 to 1.45 f..
o. b. here, according to brand and
quantities. 1t looks as if the English
buyers held off too long, and have
been forced into the market by the
lateness of the season and the poor
runs of fish and consequent short
pack on the Columbia river and a
prospective Indifferent pack on Frazer
river and Alaska.-HeTGld Of Trade,

remarks: "that newspaper men have

own paper. Bluster and bully will
not curb us, as we propose doing
pretty much as we please with our
machine, but at the same time shall
strive to please the people. A news

is no man at all, and is unfit for Q

an elephant by the side OF it. We

us a show and we will give you a good

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons dietfrom dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception. receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed TO
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief
