STARVING RUSSIANS.

The circular letter Issued by Gov.
MERRIAM in behalf OF the starving

There the famine is unprecedented in
the history or national restitution. The
revolving details of the horrible story
can scarcely be comprehended by those
living amid the bounteous Prosperity
that has fallen to the lot of the United

AN DOOR OF ONIONS.

The decision that pupils may eat
onions and not be turned away from
school seems to be something of foul
blow at the red school house.-ChicagO
Times.
One of Chicago's public school teach
ers is accused of forbidding pupils TO
come to school with onion-laden breaths,
and her critics pronounce it rank dis
crimination.-Chi News.

A Chicago school teacher yesterday
morning sent to their home two chill

than that emanating from the Chicago
riyer.-St. Louis Star Sayings.

question in the city schools has been

that the result is a compromise, by
which it is stipulated that Mr.. Grinnell

other days are barred. The pretty

1.-TWO of the wonders of modern Ameri-
can civilization" But it agrees with
Charles DUDLEY WARNER, who has
already written about us, that ''a per-
son interested in intellectual pursuits
study, research, art, education and the
like-wouid find less sympathy here
than in Eastern cities of the same size,
and less consideration"
This is true, but it is not to our dis
credit The prizes of life in the West
are to the man who can do, not to the
man who knows what others have done.
The mason who can lay bricks is more
highly esteemed than the scholar who
understands how the Romans built the
Pantheon, but who has no constructive
capacity except in the production of
Latin textbooks. The lawyer who can
try law suit SO as to save his client
from loss and humiliation is infinitely
more popular than the spectacled GEN
tleman who can construe every line of
LYSIAs and Of all the other Greek adYo-
Gates, but is helpless over problem of
contemporary interest and Importance.
This is as it should be. 1t always has
been so in places worth living in, and
always will be so. The heroes of all
times have been great generals who
have fought and conquered, great states
men who have created and governed
nations, great engineers who have
spanned rivers with bridges or joined
together distant points with ribs of
steel, great inventors who have discov-
cred and perfected devices calculated
to add to the comfort and enjoyment of
human beings.

SPEAKER CRISP.

The Democrats of this district. and of
all Minnesota. for that matter. favored
Mr.. MILLS in the speakership contest
with practical unanimity. This was
largely because they knew him better
than they did the other candidates. He
came into the state year ago and
made one speech which inf1amed our
people to the highest pitch of enthu-
SiaSm and set the pace for the campaign
and the election of three Democratic
congressman from this commonwealth.
For all this we are grateful to him, and
should have been glad had he sue
ceeded III his ambition.
If Congressman CASTLE had followed
the wishes of his constituents. he would
not have voted for Mr.. CRISP. But he
was under no duty or obligation to do
this. A representative is 4 free agent,
armed with authority to act according
to his best judgment. He was on the
ground. met the different candidates
personally, had an opportunity tOmeaS-
ure their fitness for the Office to be
filled, heard the opinions of his col
leagues, and made up his mind as to
what course he would pursue by help
from these sources. The character of
the men who stood with him OH the
final ballot proves that his decision
was wise one and in keeping with the
Democracy's best interests. Had we
known Mr.. CRISP as well as we know
Mr.. Mills, very probably we should be
as enthusiastic in his behalf. We now
may grow better acquainted with him,
because for two years the eyes OF the
whole world will be directed towards
his seat. He has glorious traditions be-
hind him, and every one who has a
right to speak agrees that he will not
be unworthy Of them.

Otherwise they are nothing better than

the contemplation of what others have
accomplished, or forget the futility of
his own career by living over the lives

HARD ON STOCKHOLDERS.
Assessment Ordered in the Spring
Garden Bank Case.

SASSOSSIu6HI OruefeU IN the spring
Garden Bank Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S.-Comptroller
of the Currency Lacey has instructed
Gen. Is. f. Fisher. receiver of
the Spring Garden National bank,
to make assessment equal to the
capital stock on the shareholders of the
bank. The capital stock was $3.50. 900,
and. If all the assessments are collected,
S750.0O0 will be thus raised 10 pay off the
Indebtedness of the concern. The par
value Of the stock was 800 per share.
There are from $50 to 800 stockholders,
and Comptroller Lacey said in his let
ter that after review of the
condition of the bank he had decided
that the assets were not sufficient to
avoid making a heavy assessment upon
the stockholders. The date fixed for
the payment of the assessment is on or
before Jan. next. Receiver Fisher
was authorized to give any share
holder thirty days extension of time,
provided One-half of the aeSSesS-
ment should be paid on or before the
date fixed. In the event of refusal to
meet the assessment the receiver was
instructed to enter suit against the
shareholders. The circular also states
that no Offset will be allowed: that is,
if a shareholder had money on deposit in
the bank at the time of the collapse he
could not count the sum lost as part of
the assessment. The Indebtedness of
the bank to depOsitOrS is nearly s., 00O,-
600. The assets so far have proved to
be comparatively worthless, and the
amount collected has been small. Even
If the S150,000 is paid in, it will be tar
from meeting the banks liabilities.

WORK IN CONGRESS.

Although at the last election of men,
tiers of congress more than two-thirds
OF the districts in the entire country
declared emphatically for the policies
supported by the Democratic party, it
was given possession of but one Of the
branches of the government needful for
the embodiment of the VIII Of the peo-
pie in legislation. The senate and the
president will stand in the way of the
successful action of the house upon
Democratic lines. Practical legislation
in the interest of tariff reform is not,
then, to be looked for. If anything in
this direction is effected, it will be in
a few isolated instances of raw
material being placed OH the free
list, or partial reduction of the excess
i've duties on certain classes of manu-
features. Some believe that it will be
best for the Democrats to pass in the
house separate bills for the removal of
GutieS Oh wool, coal, salt, iron ores and
other raw materials, and for liberal
reduction in the tariff schedules on
manufactured wOOlens, cutlery, glass
ware, crockery and other prominent arti-
Giles, in the hope that the senate and
president will accept some of them.
Whether anything can be effected in
this way is quite uncertain. The choice
of a speaker is taken to favor this pol
icy. No general tariff reform bill
could go beyo2d the house, yet
in some quarters it is insisted
that one should be formulated as
a distinct embodiment of the Domo-
cratic position. Whether this is need
full or desirable is rot now considered.
1t will involve a vast deal of labor. with
no possibility of other result than to de-
fine the details of revenue reform as de-
sired by the Democrats. But there will
be important business that the house
can deal with to practical ends. The
expenditures can be held IN more mod
crate bounds, although the former con-
greSS has made it impossible to prune
as might be desired. The main scope
of the reform house may be to find
out how things have been man.
aged in various directions. 1t should
be an investigating body. There are nu-
merOuS fields for fruitful research. The
census bureau and its work will come in
for good deal of attention. If Mr..
PORTER and some of his agents have
done straight work in all important di-
rections, they should be GLAD to have il
shown. Custom houses have symptoms
Of the need Of official probing. Then,
when the investigators compare the
course of the administration with the
requirements Of the civil service law,
they will find suggestive lines opened
to them by the similar pursuit of the
civil service reform league. The most
fruitful inquiries may be in the pension
bureau. The odors of the TANNER and
RAUM regime will lead to the contain
mated spots. There will be enough for
the Democrats to do.

most startling crime. According to his
wife's testimony, he had been ailing for

shotgun and shoot him. This she did.
The gun would not work at first, and
when it did death was not instantly pro-
duced. She said he then asked her to
pile brush over him and burn him to
death. This she did not do, but walked
some distance to cabin occupied by
man named George and requested him
to assist her in the cremation. He would
not do it and notified aconstable. When
