COURAGE.


It's gratifying 70 learn that one re-
publican senator-Hatch-had the
courage Of bis convictions and dared
espouse . measure which has hereto
fore inundated republican leglsls-
lures. After the bitter factional fight
which has almost disrupted the repub-
lican party in Iowa, the issue has been
met and will DO overcome. Prohibi-
tionists have heretofore dominated the
republican party, and BY threats held
them TO the support Of the prohibitory
Law. In introducing his licsnss bill
Senator Hatch has thrown of the yoke
and delivered tho state from out the
hands Of democracy. One other sena-
tor--Brower-has signified hrs intention
OF supporting . license bill. This will
insure il passage in the senate, and no
fears need BE- felt for its fate in the
house, especially - there 10 growing

ANOTHER RUSSIAN FAMINE.

There is no cause for wonder at the an
noWcoment that Russia is beginning 70 suffer
from another famine. 1t was to be expected
that such would be the case and wcll-ni0rmed
observers have for a long time been predicting
it. Count Tol>toi, who raised and admins
tered a large relief fund last winter, and who
has been doing a noble work among the stricken
peasantry, gives a dark forecast Of the situa-
ton. The cat harvest this year is failure.
the rye harvest scarcely better. The horses
and cattle that were destroyed by the famine
have not been replaced. nor have the agri-
cultural implements and other goods that were
sold to buy bread or burned for fuel. Neither
have the people regaincd their normal health
ard strength. If therefore. this second famine
be not actually so severe as the former one.
the people are not SO well able to meet and
to endure it and 50 the effects threaten T.
be as bad as before.
1t is not easy for those who have not lived
there to realize the primitive and helpless con-
dition Of the Russian peasants. They ac-
cllmulatc almost nothing. but are content if
the years labor provide the years necessities
of life. Beyond such slight economy they
never look. Laying aside something for a
