Land Tenure In Siberia.


Almost the first popularity of q west
Siberian landscape which strikes q trav
eler from America is the complete absence
of fences and farm houses. The cultivated
land of the peasants is regularly laid out
into fields. but the fields are not inclosed
and one may ride for two or three hours
at a time through fertile and highly
cultivated region without seeing single
fence, farm house. or detached building.
The absence of fences is due to the Sibe-
risn practice of inclosing the cattle in the
common pasture which surrounds the vii.
lage, instead Of fencing the fields which
lie outside. The absence of farm houses
is to be explained by the fact that the
Siberian peasant does not own the land
which he cultivates, and therefore has nc
inducement to build upon it.
With very few exceptions. all Of the
land in Siberia belongs to the crown. The
village communes enjoy the usufruct OF
it. but they have no legal title. and can.
not dispose of it nor reduce any part of II
to individual ownership. ALI tnat they
have power to do is TO divide it up among
their members by periodical allotments,
and to give to each head Of family sort
of tenancy at viii. Every time there is q
new allotment, the several tracts of
arabic land held under the crown by the
commune may change tenants; so that If
an individual should build house or a
barn upon the tract of which he was the
temporary occupant, he might. and prob
ably would be forced, sooner or later, to
abandon it. The result of this system of
land tenure and this organization of soci-
ETY. is to segregate thu whole population
in villages. and to leave all of the inter.
vening land unsettled In the United
States such farming region as that be
ween the Urals and Tiumen would be
dotted with houses. Crsnaries and barns
and 1t seemed very strange to ride. as we
rode. for more than eighty miles. through
country which was everywhere more or
less cultivated. without seeing single
building of any kind outside OF the vii
lages--George Kennan in The Century

Where the Shoe Pinches.

think it is safe to say that ninety nine
out Of every hundred women wear shoes
that are too large in the instep. Shoes
that are too large in the instep allow the
feet to crowd forward on to the toes and
the result Is there is q deformity Of some
sort. When q woman's foot hurts her,
nine times out Of ten she will have the
buttons of her shoes set SO they will be
made larger in the instep. and if Der toes
are troubling her the mischief is only in
creased The button should be reset so
as to make the instep smaller and the
shoe to fit the better The slovenly fitted
shoe is the cause of most of the trouble

We take occasion to print, today, this
extract from Mr.. Blaine's letter from Paris
to Mr.. Whitelaw Reid:
/ am not willing that even one of my
faithful supporters in the past should think
me capable of paltering in q double sense
with my words. Assuming that the presi-
Dental nomination could by any possible
chance be offered to me, could not accept
it without leaving in the minds Of thousands
of these men the impression that had not
been free from indirection, and therefore l
could not accept it at all. The misrepre-
sentations of malice have no weight; but
the just displeasure Of friends could not
patiently endure.
But II all these men-the friends of other
candidates unite in asking Mr..
Blaine to accept, he could hardly refuse
without incurring the just displeasure of
these very friends.

The arraignment of Cleveland by Gen.
Hastings should be reprinted, from day to
day, during the entire campaign. 1t is
canstic, complete and in all respects TRUE.
1t is as follows:
The country is tired of shams, double
dealing and Inediocrity. We have seen a
chief executive who proclaimed his belief
that the presidential Office should be limited
to single term, eagerly clutching
at the nomination for second.
His promised reforms Of the civil
service have resulted in the prosti-
tuition of his great Office for the narrowest
of partisan purposes. Processing sym
pathy Tor the welfare of wage-earners and
established industries, he has forced upon
his party policy, which, If successful,
would be ruinous alike to both. Forbidding
political activity in his subordinates, he
has allowed them to use the public service
for the advancement of his own personal
aggrandizement. He has inaugurated and
fostered diplomatic policy hostile to the
interests and the dignity of the American
people.

Fred ID. Mussey has written the best let
tiers that have been sent from the Chicago
convention. Here is what he telegraphed
about Mckinley Friday night:
There was sensation when Texas cast
two votes for Mckinley, of Ohio. The air
had been full of rumors about Mckinley.
! People said: "Well, what's the matter with
McKinley?" and many agreed that "He is
all right
/ The situation was suggestive in connec-
] ton with Mckinley, and people whispered
among themselves and punched each Other
and pointed out Mckinley. Says one:
He is the incarnate representation of
the principle on which we have joined issue
with the democratic party"
Whenever McKinley's name was men,
toned in this connection it eliclted hearty
applause; but so did Foraker's, and so did
Butterworth's. In her wealth of good ma
teriai Ohio did not think 1t strange that one
of her sons, who had not been put In NOM
nation, should be voted for. 1t was
amusing to watch the big Four" of Ohio
when the votes for Mckinley were read off.
The tremendous effort at indifference in ap-
pesrance was well enough. but If one could
have read the hearts Of the men some in
teresting phases of human emotions would
have been developed.
Major Mckinley took up newspaper, in
his usual and imperturbable manner, and
was soon intensely interested in its contents.
He was reading thrilling account of dog
fight in Buda Pesth, and chicken fight in
Canton, Ohio. He was anxious to read
about fights However fast his heart may
have been beating-and any mans heart
may beat little faster to know that some
of his fellow-citizens think him worthy of
the highest Office In the world-he showed
nothing of it. Some mems faces are like
an open book, and the quickened or less
ened heart-beats write their story there SO
that there is no disguise and all men can
read. Mckinley is not of that class.

A day or two ago dispatch came from St.
Louis stating that Depew, as the agent of
Vanderbilt, had sold out the old Grant
homestead, and on the same evening Mr..
Depew withdrew as a candidate for the
presidency. Mr.. Depew is a splendid man,
but he has associations which are inimicaI
to political ambition.

Occasionally we discover man who has
been TOO fearless, too brave and too true
with too long q record Of honest and bril-
liant service-to admit of his making a good
candidate. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster
and William II. Seward were too great and
had too great personal records to allow
them to squeeze into the front, or the rear
door, of the white house. Perhaps we
shall be forced to add both Blaine and Sher-
man to the list.

1t takes a democratic paper, like the New
York Slrp, to talk to workingmen about
free trade-which forms the big plank In
the Cleveland platform. Mr.. Dana says:
Free trade means putting all the labor
ing men of the world upon one level of COM
petition.
Protection means restricting the competi-
ton among laborers to those living in our
own country, and the consequence of such
restriction is that wages remain at high
level: whereas, If the competition of all the
laborers in the world were allowed to oper-
ate here, they would steadily fall to the
lowest level.
That is the reason why the workingmen
OF this country are better paid, are more
prosperous, live in better manner, are
better educated, and bring up their children
with more of hope and ambition than be-
long to the workingmen in any other
country.
This is why the workingmen of the
United States like the American system Of
protection, and dislike the British system
of free trade.

Summer days have come at last,
When hot waves grow intense
When tom cats sing with might and main
Sweet music on our fence;
The organ grinder haunts the street,
And so do ragged tramps;
And summer clOthing's all the rage
For those that have the stamps.
Around the daily bulletins
A hundred men or more
Are striving hard to get a show
To read the base ball score;
And politicians will be alert
To poll their largest vote,
While all who want summer suit
Save money up at Knote's.
The Springfield man with heavy clothes
Now goes to Knote's great store;
he knows they have big supply
He's purchased there before.
Then sing song of joy and bliss
Let all your voices chime;
For summer has arrived at last;
In fact, twas almost time.

De4rH OF CAPTAIN pALMER HALt.

DEATH or c4PT4fy P4LMER H4LE.
Quite large number of our citizens will
be surprised and grieved to learn of the
death of Capt. Palmer Hall. of Westerly.
Rhode Island. We find the following an
nouncement of his death in the Westerly
| Weekly, of June 2lst:
Captain Palmer Hall died at his home in
| Lottery Village, in this town, Thursday,
June 14th. He had been in poor health for
some two months previously, and though
his immediate family hardly expected him
to recover they did not think that his end
was so near. In his younger DAYS Captain
Hall was a seafearer, being master of q
whaling ship many years. He was re-
markably successful in his chosen work,
and was enabled, many years ago, to per-
manently retire from that business. During
all of his experience as a man, he never
lost man under him; and though some of
his adventures were of a most thrilling
kind, he was very fortunate in them all
Captain Hall was born in house which
stood on the site Of his late residence. No
vember IL, 1910. In 1888 he married Mary
Ann Dunbar, by whom he had five chill
dren. Mrs. Hall died in 1864, and Of the
children two died in childhood. Colonel
Elias p Hail died In 1882, and Mrs. Charles
II. Chapman passed away in 1884, leaving
Mrs. Maggie P. Wing, of Fort Collins. Col,
as the only survivor. Captain Hall mar
ried as his second wife Mrs. Nancy Bowler
Smith, and she died about one year ago,
Mrs. William c. Pendleton, of this village,
was a sister of Captain Hall, and she sur
wives him at the ripe age of 81 years. The
funeral was held on Sunday, at his late
residence, Rev. b. ID. Hahn officiating.
Captain and Mrs. Hall made several Wis
its to Springfield and met a number Of our
citizens. The captain had remarkable
career as sea captain. BE started out as
a boy and soon was made master of ship.
He was Christian from the first,
and as long ago as sixty years was a total
abstinence man and would not allow any
liquor to be drank on his vessel. At one
time revival of religion occurred on his
ship while he was on his way to the Sand
witch Islands, and thirteen of his men were
converted. The captain was one of
the noblest of men-generous, hospltable,
faithful to his convictiOns-and his entire
life was one of conscientious and loving
service to his fellow men. He was for
some years stockholder in the
REPUBLIC. Mrs. Hall, who died
about year ago, was a worthy wife
to such man. She was a sister of the
Bowlers, the well-known iron men, Of
Cleveland, and a woman of matchless
qualities. The friends of the deceased, in
this city, will bear in mind Mrs. Halls
daughter, Mrs. Langdon, who lived with
Captain Hall in his later years, in her
great afflictiou and bereavement.

Gus coolness and courage, came among US
with head and face crimson with blood,
and told us how it happened. He was
whirling around the curve, and the posi-
tion of the side-tracked freight obscured
the switch signal; but he was on the
lookout and the instant it appeared
he saw death and destruction ahead
He had less than trains length
to go, and was making forty-five miles
an hour, but he piled the full power of
the air-brake and reversed his engine, and
before he could remove his hand from the
lever. his mighty machine was plowing
the earth, and the cars were piling upon
each other. 1t is wonderful that the
engineer and fireman escaped with their
lives. But for this lightning like celebrity
in applying the brakes, the whole train
would have been frightillly wrecked, and
the loss of life much greater"
In what are thoughtlessly called the
good old times" which, compared with
the present, were very bad old times for
the most part, the praise of courage and
honor used to be monopolized by men
who occupied themselves in the business
OF killing people. But new era has now
arrived where the heroes are men who
show themselves ready to die for others,
and who, in their ordinary pursuits, are
so habituated to the thought of self-sac-
riiice that, when the emergency comes,
they meet it with courage and Judgment.
All honor to the heroes of the lever
