BISHOP vLADIM1R's TROUBLES.

The GTecO-RusSian Church difficulty ap-
pears to be the result Of a personal contro-
veT5y between Bishop Vladimir and men,
bers Of his congregation. The instigatOrs
of the raid upon the Bishops school are
said 10 be q priest who was lately dismissed
by the Bishop, and a layman upon whom
he had pronounced the censure of the
church. Under ordinary circumstances, the
public might be content to leave these con-
tentious Russians 10 fight out their battles
by themselves; but if there be any school
IN San Francisco where boys are cruelty
treated, or kept in state Of servtude, it is
right that the public should know it, and
that the thing should be stopped.
Thus far, the evidence does not confirm
the charges of the Bishops assailants. The
language in which the incident has been
worked uD in some Of the papers reveals
more malice than impaTtiality, and leads 10
the suspicion that somebody is using the
columns Of a contemporary to injure the
Bishop, who IS now absent in Alaska and
cannot defend himself. 1t appears from
seemingly reliable testimony that the four
teen Alaskan youths. who are being edu-
Gated at the Bishops school, were well fed,
properly clothed and comfortably housed.
Some Of them were dirty, and on some of
them were found marks OF recent cbastise-
ment; but it must be remembered that
cleanliness is not virtue of the Aleut In
dian-that among Russians it is, The lads
are picked up in Alaska by priests of the
Grec0-RUssian faith, and brought here to be
educated at the cost of the Russian Govern
ment, III order that they shall be fitted to
serve as teachers among their own people
1t Is unlikely that their guardians here
would subject them to treatment which
would inevitably cause them to run away.
Americans have never quite understood
therelation which the Greco Russian Church
Of San Francisco sustains to the civil author
tiles in Alaska, and especially to the trading
companies which control the industries of
that Territory. The murder of the late
acting Bishop Kedrolyansky remains as
dark mystery as ever. 1t is easy to dis
Germ motive for the deed, but the skill of
the detectives has never established a con-
nectiOn between the parties who had the
motive and the unknown aSsaSsins who
dealt the fatal blow

PERHAPS A PARTY ISSUE.

In the national platforms to be formulated
next year the question of immigration will
figure more or less cOnspieuously. From
present appearances the immigration planks
in the two old parties will be at consider
able variance with each other. The New
York World has taken the side of the
European Iaborer who desires to come TO
this country. The World admits that it is
right to exclude paupers and criminals and
contract labor, but contends that immi-
grants who can work and who are willin to
work should be admitted freely. That
journal gives as one reason for its position
the assertion that Connecticut farmers are
offering SIS month and board for unSkilled
men and cannot get them. 1t contends that
there can be no surplus of labor in a country
where men without especial knowledge of
any kind of work command S25 month
and board. THE CALL does not profess to
have any particular knowledge of the Con-
necticut farmer who cannot get help at So
per month and board, but unless the labor
condition in the East has been much mis-
represented there are a good many thou
sands of able-bOdied men in all sections Of
the country who would jump at chance to
earn SIS a month and board.

THE TROUBLES IN GERMANY.

The refusal of the Caprivi Ministry to
listen to the petition of the workmen IN Ger
many for the free admission Of foreign ce-
reals transfers the contest to the conStitu-
ences. On the one side the landowners in
sist upon the exclusion of foreign importa-
tons, while on the other the great body Of
the workmen demand cheap food.
Germany, like England, is unable to feed
its people. Its population, by the census of
| 1885, was 46, $50, 900. Its wheat crop in 1890
was 2,S39,0O0 tons-say 93,6S7, 900 bushels.
France, with a population of IS, 100000,
raises 300,OOQ000 bushels. Germany grows
a large quantity of rye - nearly $4,000, 900
! bushels in 1890 and an average of over $780,
100000 bushels during the last ten years.
Rye is a cereal which can be grown on
land where wheat cannot. 1t is largely eul-
tiyated in Russia, Scandinavia and Ger
many, where the cereal is made into a toIer-
able bread with which travellers are fami-
liar and on which the peaSantry mainly
SubSist. Even With rye Germany Is unable
to grow enough tor the consumption of its
people. In 1889 the importatIonS of foreign
rye amounted to IS, 753, 900 marks.
If the rulers of Germany devoted one
half as much attention to the development
of wheat culture in the empire as they be-
| stow on the army the poor among their
people Won d not have so bitter struggle
! for life, and Germany would not in the
| event Of war be compelled to rely On foreign
nations who may be foes for bread to feed
| its armies. But the labor which might be
| employed in institutlng more thorough syS-
| TENS Of agriculture 50 as to extend the
| wheat-gTowing area is consumed in military
pursuits. a million Of men who might be
uSefuly occupied on farms are wearing
uniforms and practicing with weapons Of
destruction. The consequence is that while
on a few model farms high cultivation is in
use and some fine results have been OBJ
tanned, the great bulk of the arabic land in
Germany only yields about half what it
might be made to yield.
In following the footsteps of Prince Bis
marck Chancellor CapTivi is fastening the
time when Germany will be riyeu by con-
test between the landed proprietors on one
side and the mass of the people, led by
w0Tkmen in cities, on the other. The
Emperor fayoTs the operatives with plans
| for life Insurance and model cottages.
/ These devices are temporary eXpedIentS
which may delay but are not likely TO avert
q conflict. No intelligent people will be
content forever 10 see their savings swept
away by the taX-gatheTeT and the eldest son
of the family, who should be its support,
CUnsCdpted into an army whose real pur-
pose Is TO suppress the liberties of the ma
ton. Men are long suffering. Abuses
sometimes endure for so many years that
observers lose their faith in right and
justice. But truth prevails at last, and the
end IS the more overwhelming because it
has been delayed.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

Thomas Norris, a popular leader Of the
English working classes, is reputed as say
ing that 'if Coventry was unfit to be y aster
Of the Hounds because he is a gambler. is
the Prince Of Wales fit to be master of a
kjngdom2!. The tone and temper Of this
interOgatory contrast painfully with an
editorial in the London Sunday Times which
declares that THE Prince has always upheld
the best traditions Of The English race" and
rs to-day, as he has been, the noblest man
and finest gentleman in England" The
value of the Times editors opinion is some
what impaired by the fact thathe hopes to be
made a baronet Editor Harris would serve
ms master more effectively if he would alb
stain from comparison. When he asserts
that the Prince has always upheld the best
traditions of the English race" he prOvokes
the inquiry as to what those best traditions
are, aud when he pronOunceS the Prince the
noblest man and finest gentleman in Eng
land he reduces certain eminent English
men whom the world admires to a low level.
Editor Harris rather stopped over.

THE sEAL-POACHERs' HARVEST.

THE CALL expTesse the opinion some
days since that the agreement between
Great Britain and the United States to stop
seal-poaching came too late to do much good
this year. The American Iessees, being a
responsible company. can be compelled to
limit their catch to the number allowed by
the agreement, but it is not clear how the
irrepressible poacher is to be reached. They
are on the ground in large numbers and
have space of 1000 square miles of sea to
poach in. There is a good deal of fog on
that sea, and it is not supposed that the
pOaChers will waste much time in hunting
the British or American cutters up. 1t is
more likely when they see one in the dis
lance they will have business in the opposite
direction. When the cutter does overhaul a
poacher and informs him of the law the
cutter will have to let the pOacher go. Il
cannot presume that the law will be violated
The poacher will, under such circumstances,
choose between lost season and the chance
of capture II oyertaken a second time. The
chances are therefore that the p0achers
will put in a pretty good season in spite of
the cutters

THE NEW RULER OF CANADA.

Sir John Macdonald's mantle has fallen
upon the shoulders of J. J. c.. Abbott, a gen.
tleman who has been In politics for nearly as
long as his predecessor and who is known
on this side Of the line as a leading LAWYER
having been chief counsel of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad for years. What his politj-
cal opinions may be now is unknown in this
country. he was a member of the Macdon-
aid Conservative Ministry, but in 1919 he
joined the annexation movement and was
one Of the signers of the famous manifesto
which declared that Canada could not work
out her destiny until she entered the Union
That was a long while ago and men gener-
ally change their opinions in forty years
Under the peculiar semi-English system
which prevails in Canadian politics the Sc
lection Of the Prime Minister of the Domin-
ion belongs to the Governor, who is appoint
ed in England. 1t appears that the English
speaking members of the Conservative party
would have preferred Sir John Thompson,
while the French Canadian preferences
were divided between j. A. Chapleau and
Hector LangeVin. For reasons Of his own
Lord Stanley chose Abbott 1t remains to
be seen whether he can command a majority
in Parliament. without which no Canadian
Minister can hold Office.
