The fates seem to be arrayed against
the realm of the Russian car. For sew
eral years the people have been distracted
by social conditions that have rendered
life Il burden to a great many. Upon
this, and without one whit of ameliora-
ton, came widespread and terrible
famine that intensified the suffering and
misery among the lower and poorer
classes in some portions of the empire.
And now. before the baleful effects of
the famine have disappeared the coun-
try is scourged with the cholera plague
that is taking off the people at the rate
of l, 700 day. These visitations remind
one of the scenes and incidents recorded
i'll sacred history as having taken place
in Egypt upwards of three thousand
years ago The children Of Israel figured
conspicuousiy in the latter events. And
their descendants have been prominent
i'll these later transpirings.

As a result of the Homestead ruction
profits from the idleness of their mills
and the men lave lost about seven
weeks of pay, and about fourteen hun
dred of them have lost good paying posi-
tions, to say nothing of the half-dozen
lives that were sacrificed and the ire
parable loss thus entailed upon the famiA
lies of those slain: the trouble and losses
that must inevitably ensue from the ar
rests and legal proceedings pro and con
growing out of the trouble, and the hurts
inflicted in thousand other ways And
who has been benefited?

SOUTHERN TITLES.
An Engiishmnn Thought re Sew the Who
Army and Navy in One Street. Car.

An Engiishmnn Thought re saw the whole
Army and Navy in One Street. Car.
81 am very much interested and
gratified to-day" said an Englishman
visiting the city, Ito meet by chance
all the officers of your army and zavy
in one street car. OF course I oo not
know the occasion which brought tn EN-
together, but they were al IA civilian
dress and seemed to be q jolly lot Of
good fellows"
When the Englishmaa said this I
could scarcely restrain ny astonish-
ment. / had not heard % any con-
siderable number of army navy off,
GERS being in the city at oae time, and
guessed that the visitor must have
been laboring under misrepresentation
of some kind, bat was too proud TO
admit il.
.weller," 1 said hunting about for
q clew, AZ hope you will remember
their names so as to give y good ac-
count of them"
Unfortunately" said he, ST caught
but one of their uames-that of your
commodore of the navy Mr.. Smith,
whose white mutton-chop whiskers an
clustering good-nature led me to be-
Eeve that he was an e ~-a in
disguise. All, you should be prouo u
your commodore
With this much as q starter it did
not require any extraordinary amount
of genius to picture the scene to which
the Englishman had been an interested
witness.
1t happened on a Washington avenue
car, which was wen filed with bust
ness men, at Garrison avenue, where a
short, thick, good-natnred man mount
ed the steps.
'-Good-nacrning. commodore"
''Hello. colonel; how do you DO this
morning?"
''Why, captain; how are yeu? Haven't
seen you for a day or two"
"Howdy, major; nice morning, isn't
it? Going to be delightfully."- wet day"
'Well, if there isn't the judge. Good
morning, judge. Glad to see You out
again"
But why continue the conversation?
You recognize it as characteristic of the
daily ride downtown on any street car
of the city. And when you come to
analyze the various titles attached to
the bunch of business men, this lie what
they amount to:
The Judge" was once judge of cleo
ton; the commodore had been an
iron merchant and in that capacity
weighed an anchor; the colonel" was
ON the governors military staff in time
of peace; the "major" led the process
sion in front of Fourth of July band.
and the captain" was graduate of

''Who Pays Your Taxes!' published
by the PutEanls as one of the 'Ques-
tions of the Day" series, is a discussion
embracing in an entertaining wav the
whole field of taxation. It consists OF
papers contributed by various well
known writers and designed to cover
the entire subject without repetition.
All the arguments are noticed fer every
system of taxation except the single-tax,
of which. and the tariff, the editor has
steered quite clear, perhaps regarding
them as dangerous subjects to breach TO
conservative readers. The arguments of
Mr., David A. Wells report on taxation
in 1871 are summarized in Chapter III,
under special sanction of that eminent
writer. The other articles are contribu-
ted by Thomas G. Sherman, Julien I.
Davies, counsel to the Mutual Life In
surance company; Archbishop Keene,

It was stated few days ago that ID.
r. Hill was at Buzzard's Bay, in bis
yachting cruise Of the coast, and white
ashore in the town procured a supply of
candy from one of the confectioners
there. The natural conclusion is that he
made the purchase Baby Ruth, but if
she ever received it no mention was
made of the circumstance. This may be
accouted for, though, by Ruth's pas
aversion 10 any public mention of the
name of any Of his family.

According to natural science there are
but two members of the family of
marsupial animals. i. e., the kangaroo
and the POISON. Political science, how
ever, has developed new species of that
genus, towit the Popccratic party. I'm
like the natural species the later de-
velopment is a combination, but in its
make up its chief characteristics are the
same. It has pouch or pocket in which
it carries its progeny-the Pops or Gratis
being tucked away as circumstances
make them superior or secondary. The
new development likewise possesses the
predominance of hind legs in its loco
motion, and to as conspicuous degree
in mouth feature and in the play Of the
innocent when cornered.

A Pathetic incident.

From the Lawrence World.
There is something very sad in the sur
eide of Judge Normile at st. Louis. In
common with most public men ne was
bounded by malicious newspaper and
was not able 20 teughen his SKIN. IL Is
unusual for men in public positions to
Iiinch under even severe criticisms and
accusations They become accustomed
10 such things. Judge Normile could
not tiicken his skin, and rather than kill
another man killed himself. Il IL re-
markable procedure for man 10 calmly
reason out that it was his duty 10 xii
another end then rather than do 50 lutiict
capital punishment on himself. Judge
NormiIe's life shows what perseverance
can do. 4 poor Kansas beotbiaek, hs
won honorable distinction. An ignorant
IRISH lad. he made headway over Gun

The rainmakers are gone, but the rain
has come. This business is something
like that of a smart boy who goes at
something too biz for him. He fails and
his father comes out and laughs at HIM
and shows him how easy it is to do 1t.
So in this case. The boys couldn't make
it work, so the original Rainnlaker takes
it in hand and shows how easily it Is
done. Nature is our best, our most
trusty reliance for rain as for other
things of the kind, and don't ask for
any money guarantee.

ton it is throwing stones in glass house
for which il will sooner or later feel very
sorry. The fact is, although it is not
generally known, the Democratic candi-
date for governor of Missouri-Hon.
w. J. Stone is actually MEM
her of the Cherokee Strip
Live Stock association and has been
for long time. OF course he being for
many years a congressman his name has
not appeared very conspicuously in con-
nection with the affairs of the associa-
ton but he has been one of the largest
sharers in the profits of the lease, never
theless. His ranch is located south of
Kiowa and is managed by FINS Ewing
of Stones own heme-Nevada, Mo.
Ewing is one of the original Ewing's of
Missouri and if we are not mistaken he
is closely connected in kinship to Stone.
Stone was in congress during the agita-
ton which resulted in the opening of
Oklahoma and no one wrote more letters
than he to the agents and attorneys OF
the Cherokee Strip Live Stock associa-
ton, giving inside information relative
to the progress OF. the agitation. In fact he
was looked upon as the very fountain Of
congressional information on all subjects
relating to the interest of the cattle
barons whether they owned ranches in
Oklahoma, the Cherokee strip or il the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation.
That Stone is member of the Cherokee
Strip Live Stock association there are
plenty of evidences near at hand. There
are hundreds of people in Kiowa and
Caldwell who know it, and more than
that, the matter is on record on the
books of the association held at Caldwell.
John A. Blair of Caldwell was for years
the secretary of this association, and he
knows all about it.

Taubeneck is the chief would-be sensa-
tionalist of the country just now. His
canard deceives nobody, though, because
they are believed by nobody, His latest
about Judge Gresham is the most alb
srred of all he has perpetrated. When
that eminent jurist decides to espouse
the cause of calamity he will not be
lacking in courage to announce such
determination in person, and will not do
so through any of the Taubeneck or Vim
cent outfit as a proxy.

The dispatches speak Of ex-Mayor
Grace of New York as Tammany's Zoe.
This is misleading evidently. There IS
no danger of any ruction with Tamma-
Nv at this stage of the game. Grace
only wants some assurance of something
real good for Grace, and there will be no
trouble about that if the Democracy
should triumph.

Her Majesty Seeks to Recover Load
OF Asphalt.
NEW YORK, Juns 26.-Victoria, Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of
India, appeared through counsel before
Justice Andrews Of the supreme court,
Friday. on a motion arising out Of an action
she has brought against the Standard
Asphalt Company, No. "a Wall street, to re-
cover a cargo of asphalt valued at $1,000.
The asphalt was taken, IL 10 alleged, from
the island of Trinidad, owned by the British
crown, and was bought by the defend
ants 10 ignorance Of any dispute as 10 its
ownership.
Asphalt by thousands of tons is taken In
Trinidad every year from Pitch Lake.
which is a swamp of asphalt. The British
government has claimed part of the asphalt
territory, but the claim has been disputed
at Trinidad and has been taken into the
courts This is the first instance of the dis
putes getting into our courts
The cargo In suit arrived in the schooner
Ballard last Monday. The asphalt was
bought at $40 q ton by the defendants. On
Wednesday the crown began a replevin suit
TO recover the property and obtained an
attachment from Justice Andrews OF the
supreme court. The case was partially heard
Friday and further argument was adjourned
until Monday.
The queen once began a replevin suit in
this city in conjunction with the Sultan Of

FARMER STATBMEN.
A Few Real Farmers, But Most OF
Them Only by BreVet.

A Few Real Farmers, But Most OF
Them Only by Brevet.
Some Of the most extensive farmers and
planters In this congress. says the Washing
ton Star, are those who practice law as
their chief interest.
This Is true of Senator Gibson of Mary
land, a man of so. who does not look his
years. He dresses with natty care, wears
his gray hair jauntily parted in the midd g,
and his marked resemblance to Gen. Hawley
is emphasized by exactly the same sort OF
pepper -and-salt musts che and goatee. He
is the owner Of Ratoliff Manor, one Of the
four immortal estates still remaining In the
old Catholic commonwealth. The manor
house was built in 1757-a vast, big-ohim-
neyed, three-storied, maDy-gabled, spacious
balconied mansion Of brick, overlooking 400
acres Of the fairest part of the eastern snore.
Gibson keeps a farmer, OF course. He raises
corn and wheat-twenty-tive to thirty
bushels to the acre Of the latter. He has
1900 or 5000 peach treas aud sends the
peaches and much small frnit to Nav York
and Baltimore.
At a steamed oyster supper once given
here Senator Gibson remarked that oyster
farming in the United States began at Rat
cliffe. II planted 10, 900 bushels myself, "
he said, land should reap a great harvest
now II they had not been stolen. As it is
barely get enough to eat"
HoLMAN's FARM.
Holman is running farm of three or four
hundred acres In the southeastern corner of
Indiana, aud he can stand on bis trout door
sill and see court houses In three states
Indiana. Ohio and Kentucky. His sig htly
home is on the Ohio river hills, and the
house is the one he was born in, built by
his father in the early pioneer DAYS in the
first quarter of this century. The kind of
ability resulting from courage sagacity aud
experience gives him a great deal Of in
fluence on the floor Of the House. He has
been lawyer. but he now spends most Of
his time farming when he is not here. Ho
raises hay, wheat aud corn, aud
farmer" is written all over him.
He Is homelier than Lincoln.
Nature made him whel she was feeling
reckless. He looks as if he had been rived
out with a dull ak from tough maple log.
His gestures are all severely angular, and
his voice sounds like tinman's cart on a
corduroy road His beard is always three
times as long as it ought to be and mis- head
is covered with cow ticks, evidently be-
| slowed when the animal was feeling mad.
| Notwithstanding his personal appeara nee
| he has kind heart, and will help anybody
