In the light of Count Tolstoi's declara-
tion that there is sufiiciency of grain In
Russia, the difficulty being in the inabil-
ity of the poor TO purchase it. it looks
like waste of energy and a needless de-
lay IN administering relief to send ship-
loads or grain from this country. "A te'c,
graphic money order would be a zeal
more speedy, and consequently more ell
ficacious.
n clever excuse for the churlish Demo-
Gratis IN Congress, but 1t won't work.
The price of grain is naturally high In
Russia. IL will be remembered that mt
the time OF the great Irish famine, when
the people were starving for lack OF po-
tatoes, there was plenty OF wheat III the
country. and it was exported by the
shipload. That didn't excuse charity
from its blessed work, however.
1t is a very simple problem in arithmetic

100 passengers at 81 aregreater than those
OF 100 passengers at S3.-Journal.
1t is even simpler to figure out whether
a nation of 65,O00,O 900. whose working
members are highly paid, is to be pre-
ferred TO n nation of 2O, 900, 600 or O,OOO,-
600 with low pay, as our would have
been under free trade. But the Journal
is unable to work out this easier prob
lem.
The delegates to the Democratic conven-
ton, which meets in this city tomorrow
seem to be taking so much counsel from
their personal animosities that 1T may
safely be presumed they would not care To
listen TO any advice from other sources

Perhaps not; perhaps not. Yet it is
rather cruel of the journal, holding as
it does, all political wisdom in its waste
basket. not TO enlighten them a little.
Up in British Columbia the telegraph
companies, postofice and other businesses
will not take United States silver coin at

This fact is respectfully referred TO Mr..

The EUCnipg Telegram has the largest
circulation of any paper In New England
outside of Boston The Sunddy Telegram
has a circulation more than four times as
large as any Sunday paper in New Eng
land outside of Boston, Telegram.
Both these statements are conspicuous
ly untrue. The Telegram has a good cir
culation, but it is surpassed by the Prov
idence Bulletin and the Springfield Re
publican, while in Rhode Island the
PROVIDENCE NEWS runs it a close race
for size of circulation and far surpasses
il in quality. The Sunday edition is
none of our funeral, but as a matter of
fact it has less than four times the circu-
lation of the Springfield Republican,

New Haven Register and several
others. The Sunday paper is not popu-
lar in New England, or the list would be
considerably longer.

But it isn't, for money talks. And

Wise Democratic action in Congress and
skillful management in the State could
take Nebraska out of the Republican
column in November.-New York World.
Perhaps, but the conditions are far
from being fulfilled.
And now comes England, through her
press, taking a firm stand against immi-

England hasn't had so much of it, but
she is quicker TO resent AN evil and less
conservative in moving to put stop
TO 1t.
Although it is an act of supererogation,
the Herald desires to state that Colonel
Morrison is not afactor in Illinois politics.
Chicago Herald.
What is he, then? A malefactor?
He's something. He's a living, breath
ing. speaking entity, and the author of
the Horizontal Bill. What's the matter
with Morrison on his native heath!
This year President is to he elec ted,
and the canvass will be an interesting one
in this State. Next year an associate
Judge of the Court OF Appeals is also to be
elected and presumably the Democratic
candidate will be Isaac II. Maynard, the
ad interim incumbent. That will be in
terestiug, too. o.-Brooklyn Eagle.
Interestiag! 1t will be disgraceful!
A man who has disgraced his judicial
