WIDOW DoLGOROUKI.
State Secrets Revealed by the Nor rganatio
Wife of the Late Czar.

Princess Dolgorouki, the morganatic
wife of the late Car, has, according to
an Odessa telegram, just published her
memoirs in Russia. Every available
copy, however, has been pounced upon
Immediately by the police. In this in
teresting volume the Princess gives
graphic account of what happened on
the very eve. of the assassination of the
ill-fated Alexander II. During the
evening before the tragic event took
place she was in a room adjoining that
in which the police report for the day
was being submitted to the emperor.
When Colonel Standen mentioned that
soldiers in whom more trust could be re.
posed had been stationed on guard al
the palace, the Gear displayed great ir.
ritation, exclaiming, What! am l sur.
rounded by traitors even in my own
house? If such be the case, the most
ragged beggar is happier than l. Well,
l shall appeal to the people, dwell
among them. and show them that have
confidence in them and do not fear the
cowardly assassins who dare not emerge
from their obscurity!" His Majesty
then went into the room where
the Princess was sitting, and said that
he had decided on going to Vienna,
although the Russians were hated there
since his father died. He would settle
some business with the Emperor M Aus
tria which could not be intrusted to a
third party. Soon afterward, at midnight,
the unhappy Emperor discovered, to his
horror, that his favorite dog Tristan
had been poisoned, and, flying again
into violent rage, he overwhelmed his
valet with abuse and threats
The Princess had begged Alexander
II. not to go out on the morrow, but at
nine O. clock in the morning a note was
brought to her which betrayed the nerv'
GUS agitation to which the unfortunate
monarch was prey. He had begun by
saying that in conformity with hel
wishes and his promise he would remain
at home, but had scratched out the
words, and had written, inst ad, that he
needed air and exercise, and would &c
out soon, adding that he would bring
back the Grand Duke Sergius to lunch
with her. The Princess was making
preparations to accompany or follow the
Gear, when looking out OF the window
she saw the guards passing by in grea
confusion. Soon afterward she hoard o
the Emperor's death. She hurried t.
the Winter Palace and threw herself oil
the mangled and bleeding corpse. Thei
Alexander Ill told her that his fathe
had uttered her name with his dyini
breath. 1t is to be hoped that trans
lation OF these memoirs will soon max
Its appearance as the Princess was in
position to throw light on many politi
cal puzzle.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman
says that alien ownership OF land is q
great detriment to the country and
seriously threatens the future, and that
the same objections urged against alien
owners may in a great measure be urged
against corporate ownership VIII the
Husbandman kindly explain what diff
ference exists between man who owns
land in Montana and lives in New York
and another man who owns land in
Montana and lives in England? Or il
a man is holding land for speculative
purposes, does it really make any diff
ference to the community in which the
land is located whether the owner lives
in the community or on the other 81 de
of the globe? 1t is not apparent that it
is the land ownership and not the pres
ence or absence of the owner which is
the great evil.
If one man or one thousand men or
one million men can own all tho lands
to the positive and unquestioned exclu.
sion of all other men, then the land
owners, be they few or many, can take
from the non-owners all the products OF
the labor of the latter except what is
necessary for bare existence. That is
practically condition of slavery with
out the name, and is the condition which
the producers of this country are rapidly
approaching, as is evident from
the mortgage-debto of the farmers of the
land, this mortgage debt being only
another form of rent. But if the mar
who claims the land were compelled tc
pay into the public treasury the renta
value which the community gives to the
land, no man would hold any more lant
than he wants to use, and immenst
quantitie of land now unused would bt
thrown open to the use of the landless
which would broaden the field for the
employment of labor, and would give
every man who did not want to work fo
others chance to work for himself. II

In week or two, however, Mr.. Mere

ferns waved softly to and fro, like
miniature army, with banners OF
emerald grasses. The sultry summer
day had burned itself to close. the
6ery ashes OF the sunset were piled
up in the glowing west under columns
of rose and gold and deepening violet.
Alice Adams, the tired, little district
school-teacher, on her weary way home
from the one-story, red building, where
she had ruled her small kingdom all
day long, had paused in the cool shadow
of the woods to rest and think.
She was an orphan, but, ever since
she could remember, Uncle Jabez
Adams had given her homo and
fathers tfectionate-though unsympa-
thetic-care.
Aunt Abby had scolded her and fon-
died her, by turns, and she had alter

Jabez pronounced her "old enough to

AS she stood there, her bright cheeks

footstep crushed the dead boughs under

wild ferns at her feet.

young man, dressed in rough suit of

braided straw hat from his luxuriant
brown locks, "but is this the way to
Wild Glen?"
Under his arm he carried portfolio,
in one hand was balanced light fish
ing-rod and sachel, and, as she looked at
him, Miss Adams decided upon his iden-
tity at once.
"You have taken the wrong road, !"
said she. THE foot-path to Wild Glen
branches off to the right as you pass by
the old windmill with both it's arms
broken. You have trAen the path
which led to the left--and here you

"And how far is the nearest house of

Single Tax work Hearing Fruit.

Land reform is in the air. The per-
sistency with which the single tax doc
trines have been preached are bringing
about practical results in many quar-
ters, even without any change in the
law. In Chicago they are compelling
the real estate speculator to give up a
portion of his gains to the rightful
owners-the community-by the simple
process of carrying out the existing law
and taxing unimproved lands up to their
full value. If even this much were
done everywhere the beneficial effects
would very soon be felt. Land specula-
tors would be forced either to SELL
which would mean Il general reduction
of prices and render land cheaper to
improve, thus giving labor employment
and putting up wages. 1t is surprising
how much could be done by simply
ayailing ourselves of laws now in force,
which have been set aside owing to
capitalistic influence.
