DEVELOPING IoRALIpEAs.

Professor Hadlcy's Lecture-Rrom
 Unorganized Vengeance 10 Christi-
 anity.
 The following is brief synopsis of Pro- lessor A. T. Hadley's lecture yesterday sf- ternoon at Osborn hall on s'The Develop ment of Moral Ideas" During the course of his lecture Professor Hadley said:
 The reason for not doing wrong, which has obtained among primitive peoples, was that if you do wrong you will be killed. The tribal gods exacted conformity to cer- tain rights and customs, and violation of these by the individual involved the na- tion. Just how this belief originated we to be salubrious was attributed to divine authority. The unorganized vengeance of the tribe was vested in the chieftain or the priesthood, and a system of moral laws be- gan to be formed. These never began to reason about con duct, and it was seen that & crime committed with deliberate intent was different from one that was acciden- tai.
 The early sacrifices were honoretic rather than propitiatory, the tribesmen and their
 
 made friendly compact between each other. Gradually it came about that when an unintentional criune was committed a sacrifice was made, and thus the tribe was freed from guilt. The gods now not mere ly regard the act but the motive. The next necessary step in the moral education is the idea of individual re- sponsibility, which grew out of the fact that the gods did not judge by conse- ouences but by intentions. The gods were no longer arbitrary beings, they had re- vealed a moral code. There was law in their dealings with men. But when | this code was first promulgated | it had the oriental characteristic of despot- | ism "Thus saith the lord, thou shalt | not kill" It was wrong to kill, because | God said so. Still, this led to monotheism. Several gods might be friendly, but as | soon as a code of morality was promul- gated it was necessary to find out its au- thor All through classical literature and the Bible is the conflict between mono
 theism and polytheism with the Hebrews monotheism was settled for them. Their
 God was stronger than the gods of other
 tribes. We have proceeded from an unor
 ganized vengeance for violation oi
 certain fixed customs to monotheism Let us go one step farther. Gradually
 people began to see God revealed in hii
 moral law, God who loved righteousness
 and hated iniquity. Here the process wal
 slow. The mythological element went
 backward, the lsw-giving element went
 forward. From the oriental idea of des | potism we come to @ more modern idea o
 a lawful kingdom. Then people began tt | rationalize the moral law.

THE SUFFERING IN RUSSIA.


 Omcial statement of the Extent oi
 the Famine District-Aid Needed by
 Millions of Vanishing People.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The department
 of state has received from Minister Smith
 at St. Petersburg an interesting report of
 the actual conditions of the stricken dis tricts of Russia, prepared from evidence of eye-witnesses and most trustworthy sources. The territory afflicted by the famine. the report says, comprises thirteen provinces of European Russia, viz: Kasan. Mijinovgorod, orenburg, oufa, Pensa, Riazan, Samsra, Saratof, Simbirsk, Tanboff, Viatka and Verenege.
 In five other provinces the famine pre- vails in parts, viz: Kursk, Olonetz, Orel, Pens and Tauride.
 One or two others, like Kharkov, have suffered to some extent, but are not in- cluded in official reports.
 The first thirteen provinces in area are one third greater than all Germany and the population is about 37, ,000. The desti- tuition is not universal, however, as there are those whose accumulstions have saved them from want, and there are some spots preserved from blight by irrigation, where 8 good harvest was reaped, but at the best the proportion of suffering is en- ormous.
 An official estimate of the number of those without food or means of support who require aid is given as IA, ,000, 900 per sons and this is probably below the true 
 The report includes: Time is @ most inn portant factor in the work of relief Every week is vital. One hundred and eighty million CSC, 1000, ,000 pounds of food are necessary. Fifty carloads should arrive every day in these stricken prov inces, but only eleven carloads per day were received Christmas week. The em- ergency pending has not been realized un- fortunately, but the spectre of the famine has overshadowed everything, and every energy must be strained to mitigate the calamity. The imperial government has up to the present time appropriated the 55, 900, ,000 roubles, (s42, ,500, ,000,) from the public treasury for the work of relief But the work must still go on and the expenditure must amount to much higher sum. The Rus sian emperor has personally given enor- mously and all classes are giving according to their means. A conservative estimate ol tH6 lOsS tO huSsla III VleW OI HI cOuss- luences is placed at not less than one thousand million roubles (500, ,000, 900 dol ars).
 Up to the present there have been few from abroad, but the gov and the people of Russia are deep y sensible of the spontaneous offers that nave been made in various parts of the United States and the emperor's ministers IS we'll as others have manifested such to Minister Smith in their expressions of ap- probation.

THE NEBRASKA GOVERNoRsHIP.
A Decision in Favor of Boyd by the

A Decision in Favor of Boyd by the
 United States Supreme Court.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The United States supreme court to-day decided in fla vor of Boyd (dem) in the Nebraska gov ernorship case. All the justices except Justice Field concurred in the conclusion of the court that Boyd was 8 citizen of the United States and entitled to the office of governor of Nebraska.
 Justices Harlan, Gray and Brown con- cured in that part of the opinion which held that Boyd was citizen, because from record in the case it must be considered as established that Boyd's father, having ex ercised all the rights of citizen, had, in fact, in 1854 taken out his final naturaliza- ton papers, notwithstanding that he did not have the record of such final naturali- zation papers.
 The court also held that there was such thing as collective naturalization; that the enabling act of Nebraska constituted & naturalization of all the inhabitants of Ne braska at the time of it's admission, except such as desired to retain their foreign rights, and that Boyd's exercise of various offices showed his intention to become a citizen. The opinion is by Chief Justice Fuller.
 The court reversed the judgment of the supreme court of Nebraska and ordered it to take further proceedings in conformity | with the decision that Boyd is citizen.

 BEAVER, Penn., Feb. 1.-The defendants in the Quay libel suit were sentenced to six months imprisonment in jail, fine of $500, and the costs of the prosecution. Judge Wickham, in passing sentence, scored the defendants for printing alleged libellous articles even after Quay's denial of the charges against him and after the arrest of defendants. He also referred to the fact that the defendants had made no retraction. The sentence occasioned some surprise. It was supposed Senator Quay would be satisfied with @ nominal fine and perhaps one day in jail. After sentence had been passed Messrs. Mellon and Porter were taken to jail to serve their term. It is said after short incarceration application will be made to the board of pardons for their release. It Is also re- ported that their fines will be paid by the democratic state committee.
