The Indifference OF Voters TO th'
Constitutional Amendments.

The election returns show how
little interest many persons take IN
matters Of vital Importance to them
unless those matters are very closely
connected with politics. The pro
posed amendments to the constitu-
ton of the sta te were not made an IS
sue between the parties, land compare
lively little interest was manifested
in them by the voters during the
campaign. Thousands upon thous
ands of tickets were found IN the
ballot boxes after the election, OF
which the depositors made not the
slightest reference as to their opin-
ION of the wisdom and necessity of
the amendments. Many who did
vote for them had no idea what viii
be the results of the amendments
when they become part of the con-
stitution. and many failed to vote
upon them, did so because they
thought it unnecessary trouble.
MANY a voter would have walked

tionof his property, the framing of the
laws under which he lives or other
matters of equal importance to him
he wouldn't take the trouble to put
crsss on his ticket. But to have
headed that part of the ticket with
nm emblem of Jackson and Liberty,
or Abraham Lincoln, and declared
it principle of the Democratic or
Republican party, would have in
sured that scarcely ticket would
have been deposited by the voters of
the party without cross opposite
the amendments.
Politics is q necessary evil of
government, and when confined
within proper limits may enert a
most beneficial influence upon the
people of country; but when indi-
vidual opinion must be sacrificed to
party feeling, and when interest in
party success is placed above all
other interests, politics has gone be-
yond its proper sphere and has be
come a dangerous power in Il com
munity.

The LulI IN Europe Before the
Storm.

In Europe three million armed
men are sullenly facing each other,
waiting only for the word to spring
at each others Threats. War has
been thought of as imminent, and
this state of things has come to be
regarded as normal. This anoma-
lous condition, without a parallel in
history, is wildly portrayed in the
November Forum by William r,
Thayer, one of our most acute stu
dents of European politics. He has
striven to put before his readers a
picture Of the status of each of the
great powers their strength, their
feelings toward one another, and
their probable course in case of war
He concludes that Russia is to-day
the centre of the warlike storm area
and that her course endangers all
western Europe.

Ivan, of Cronstadt. During the last
three weeks at least three different
booklets have been published giving an
account of his life and dOings, and these
find ready sale, for his deeds have been
told. by rumor, throughout the empire
and exaggerated till they have reached
marvellous proportions. 1t is popularity

he prays and makes not the slightest
claim himself to the possession OF occult

Government of Archangel, in the FAR
north and was settled in Cronstadt
thirty-five years ago. His reputation has
therefore been thing of slow growth
for it is only during the last few years
that those outside his own parish have
heard of his good deeds; but now every
one in Russia talks of him as much as the
world now talks of DR.. Koch.-Londo"
