AN OUTLINE OF THE STORY.
DR.. Ed. DILLON who by Tolstoi's au-

DR.. E. j. DILLON who by Tolstoi's au-
thority, has translated the novel from the
unpublished manuscript, says in a recent
letter addressed to my London ONCE:
''The plan of the story is in brief as follows:
1t begins with q conversation between the guests
who were staying at the house of rich man.
They all agreed that life as they were leading it
was miserable; they all decided that 8 radical
change in their mode of living was q necessity
from any and very point of view, principally,
However, from the moral dpoint. A young
man was the first who decided to effect the
change in himself, but his friends dissuaded
him Oh the ground of his youth. a middle ssea
man followed suit, but he was dissuassf So
cause of his obligations TO his ssEsfa An
old man next declares his lassssSn OF reform
already contracssd.s and acquired tastes ,tt
which arsxsS5s9eefd nature and cannot be
chaaSsassSsHsn follow some reflections Of The
sEn4sfs ana the prelude is ended.
This is but the introduction-and gives the
key noe of the story, which is supposed to
take place during the reign OF the Emperor Ira
gan, in Kilrikia, Ciica. The dramatis per-
son9 are two young students, Psmphiiius and
julius, their parents and Z wise old Pagan doc
tor.
THE two stu tents separate before finishing
their studies and Pamphi ius returning home
becomes Christian. Julius in after years Wis
Its him, discusses the problem of life with him
reasons against Christianity, is almost con-
WINGED tn I he should embrace its tenents, but
mee:ing with a Use doctor Is induced to put IL
of till he grows wiser and Older. He might re-
pent OF a resolution taken befose he thoroughly
understood its import. Years pass away, he
marrles. Inen comes description OF his mar
ried life, which is that of most married lives to-
day. His love eyaporates and his happiness
too. He again sees his friend Pamphilius
again discusses the same questions; his OBJ
jections are removed and he seriously thinks of
becoming Christian, but the wise doctor meets
him again and he again defers it on the ground
of the duty he has contracted 10 his wife and
children, whom it would be immoral to
abandon.
Years pass away, his wife dies. He sees
Pamphilius, discusses the same questions, the
same things are repeated. At last, an old man
he is iasulted by his own children, who, be-
leving him dead, celebrate the event with
banquet. He then leaves everything in anger
ald goes over to the new sect. in spite OF the
celebrations Of the dying doctor to be courage
Gus and bear his misfortunes ike man. Here
he falls into des pair at the thought that he has
brought to Christianity the ruins of life But
he is comforted and treasured by his new breth-
rem.
1T cannot be published in Russia, because
the Censor there will not allow any remarks o5

TIE RESULT At WASHING TON.

What are " the arbitrary, revolutionary. ana
despotic decisions" which the Speaker OF the
House has made, and which a majority OF all
members present has sustained? They are two
first. that members actually present cannot
block all business by disregarding rules, re-
fusng to vote, and pretending they are absent
and second, that motions obviously and purely
dilatory. designed only to block the doing OF
business, need not be entertained, but can be
declared out of order. The sole object OF these
decisions, every man must see, is to prevent a
confessed minority from stopping the business
of the House If there were at any time a
majority of those present opposed to a motion
made or to the transaction of the business pend
ing, that majority could under these decisions
have its own way, and determine the course oil
the House The two decisions are therefore
one That majority of the House. more than
a quorum being actually present, shall have
power to do business.
In the exercise of any and all power as organ
of the House the Speaker acts in open day, and
subject to his responsibility. If he declares
any member present when he is not, the fact
can be stated, and the mistake corrected as one
of that nature was corrected on Thursday. If
he refuses to entertain any motion which the
House does not consider purely obstructive and
dlatory, the majority can put aside the business
in hand, and force the consideration OF the mo-
ton. Unless sustained by majority of the
members present, the Speaker can do absolute
" nothing. When so sustained, he is the or
gan of the House, acting to protect its right 70
do the business for which it was created. That
which is denounced as " usurpation," therefore,
can at no time be usurpaton OF an indlvid-
ual or to carry out his personal ends; it must
at all times be uSuTpation" by an actual ma
jority of the House, a quorum being in fact
present and for the purpose of doing the busl-
ness which that majority decides TO do.
The issue made up for the people is whether
they wish to have a majority do the business
for which it was elected. 1t was time that the
power of a minority, often of small minority,
to stop the transaction of all business in the
House was completely and forever terminated
The will of the people, expressed in the cleo
ton of a majority of their representatives,
ought to be the law of the land, respected and
obeyed by minority large or small. Tyranny
of minority was never intended by the Con-
stitution or the laws. The usurpation occurred
when. by violating the law of all parliamentary
bodies, minorties seized the power to dictate
what should or should not be done. The de-
cisions of the Speaker, sustained by the ma
iority, restore the Government to the intent
of the Constitution and the laws
