The American House of Repre-
sentatives has passed the Nc Kinley
bill by q strict party vote with the
free sugar and bounty clause left
intact. 1t begins to look alarm
ingly possible that the Congress
will demonstrate the wisdom aud
foresight of our present Cabinet,
while the Legislature is still in
session. This is q mode of proof
which is likely to make men of all
parties pretty sick. We earnestly
hope that the vindication of the
Ministry will be achieved by argu-
ments OF q less drastic character.

the bill good one, but feels doubtful 90

Noble Widemann approved the intent

This is law for gentlemen only. Admit
ting there may be as many gentlemen
dipsomaniacs as of the poorer classes,
still do not see why the latter should not
be cared for as well as others. I might
even say this clause is unconstitutional
because it covers one part Of the COM

The House is pushing business
forward with commendable dill

astray into the eternal labyrinths
OF a wearisome and unnecessary
debate. Yesterday the first bill was
passed, viz, the appropriation bill
for the expenses of the session.
The zeal with which this bill has
been pushed shows that some mem

THE RUSSIAN sruNpA.
A Movement Directed Against the splri
ual SunremacY of the Gar.

A Movement Directed Against the Spirit.
ual Supremacy of the Gear.
You are already aware that the Arch
bishop of Odessa and Kherson few days
ago, when Oddessa celebrated its cente-
nary, delivered a speech in which he
spoke somewhat severely of the Rus
sian peasants. Archbishop Nikannor
declared openly that ''the orthodox Rus
sian peasants, are in almost every thing
inferior not only to the Lutherans, but
also to the Jews and Tartars living
among them,'' and he thinks that this
regrettable state of affairs is due to the
TACT that so many hundred thousand
peasants in Southern Russia are con-
verts from the orthodox church, and he
concludes his long and interesting
speech by warning every one against the
Stundists.
Ibis speech has again directed general
attention to the powerful religious
movement known as Stunda, whose adj
herents already number at least S, O0O,-
600. 1t is difficult or impossible to tell
where this movement originated and
who was its founder. 1t is more than
thirty years old, and probably the first
impulse was given to it by the Ger
man colonists in Southern Russia, not
directly by propaganda, but, Indirect
ly. The orthodox church, which has
always been strongly supported by the
police, has from the first paid great at
tention to the movement, but has never
succeeded in discovering its prophets.
AT first the police was simple enough
n hi 30 1k<
ment by generous use of prisons and
the knout, but it soon learned that these
measures had quite the opposite effect;
and since then the Stunda has spread
irresistibly even beyond the southern
provinces. Nor is this to be wondered
at, for remarkable change takes
place with the orthodox peasant who adj
heres to ''the new doctrine" He gives
up drinking, he is better dressed, his
manners are better, he becomes better
workman, and he soon gathers little
fortune.
The new doctrine is really nothing
but somewhat modified Lutheranism,
and it has happened often that the
Stundists call themselves Lutherans.
They will not have any thing to do with
the orthodox church, but yet they are
generous enough to give the popes what
they want for their existence, although
only on condition that they do not preach
against the new believers. Archbishop
Nikanor stated in his speech that many
OF the orthodox churches in his diocese
have for several years been completely
empty. Many of the more intelligent
orthodox priests think that the time is
not far off when the Russian church will
be overthrow by the Stunda. The gov
eminent is not able to combat the stead
lily increasing movement. Only one
measure might, perhaps, prove effective
religious liberty-but the government
has not the courage to grant it.-St. Pc

DEAD MAIL MATTER,

Great Increase Ia the Quantity at the

The New York branch of the Dead
Letter Office has had its business in
creased very rapidly of late. In one
week recen.ly-and it was not an extra
ordinary week-ninety-five bundles, con-
tanning 25092 pieces of all sorts, were

Most OF or increased work is due to

Newspapers and packages are wrapped
In the himsies: paper that is made
abroad. guess. and fastened often with
sealing wax. The packages are tossed
into mail bags on the other side, and
partly in consequence of friction and
moisture from the air the wax IS broken
and the wrappers are torn Of. On the
arrival OF the mail bags IN the New
York post-ofice, nearly nine-.enths of
the newspapers are without saperscrip-
tons
Stronger and thicker paper should be
used for wrappers, and mucilage is
better gum than sealing wax. With
Americans there is little fault to find
in this respect. The best way. how
ever, to insure newspaper reaching its
destination is to put the superseription
on the newspaper itself as well as on the
wrapper. In fact. this course has been
recommended by the International Post
al Congress, and the English, Scotch and
Irish often comply with the rule The
French, German and Russian mails are
