Cause of Russian Famines.

Stepniak assures us there is still fam
Inc in Russia, famine dire and terrible.
In the upper Don and upper Okla region
1000, 900 people need relief again this
year. In Kama and the provinces of the
middle and lower Volga 3, 600 900 are in
restitution. In Bessarabia last year the
people had plenty and helped their fell
low countrymen bravely. This year the
drought ruined their crops, and they
themselves stand in need of the help
they so generously gave to others last
year. Stepniak Of course biames the Rus
sian government for this He says the
taxes annually wrung from the peasants
leave them with not enough food to tide
them over even one season. The govern
ment is unable or unwilling to right
their wrongs. Freedom" says Step
MAX, sis the remedy"
But a writer in,the Edinburgh Review
tells different story. 1t will be OBJ
served even Stepniak admits that drought
caused the famine in Bessarabia. The
writer in the Edinburgh Review tells us
what caused the drought, Both the writ
ers agree on one point-that there is no
hope of permanent relief soon for the
hapless peasants of Russia. The cause
Of the restitution is not politics, how
ever, according 70 The Review writer.
1t Is simply and solely that for centuries
Russia has been stripping her hillsides,
valleys and plains Of the trees that pro-
tected her rivers and streams-in word,
detprestati9n.
The woods were cut away from the
headwaters of the streams, the streams
dried up, leaving the bare fields to be
sand swept in summer and snow swept
In winter and desolated, until Russia is
gradually becoming like the desert of
central Asia. Central Asia, noW the
home of few wandering savsges tor
tured by alternate cold and heat, was
once land of magnificent fertility. So
was Palestine; so was the whole region
bordering on the Mediterranean. Defor-
estation devastated ALL
The only hope for Russia is in the re-
foresting of her lands. How fast the
process of ruin has progressed may be
told from one fact. Peter the Great built
and launched his first ships upon the river
Woronesch. This stream is now a mere
rivulet. Russia is gradually becoming
overwhelmed with sand. The moral
Americans can draw for themselves,
especially those Americans who are seek
ing to cut down every piece of woods in
this republic.

That live and lively state of Texas is
taking the lead in heading off surplus
cotton production. The Texas Acreage
association meets and considers what
will be the best farm products for agri-
culturists to go into at different times
and in different parts of the state. At
late meeting in Austin a committee was
formed of one member from each con-
gressional district TO draft an address to
Texas farmers recommending them to
raise less cotton, but not more Of that
other indigenous American product
named by General Butler in one of his
historic sayings. On the contrary, they
were advised to replace the diminished
cetton acreage by varied farm products.
Thus the price of cotton would be main
tanned, while the Texas farmer would be
raising upon his own soil many of the
high priced crops for which he has been
accustomed to exchange his low priced
cotton. If the whole south would do
this, it would increase her agricultural
wealth greatly.

II hold oblivion scant price to pay
For having once had held against my lip
Lies trimming cup of by dromel and rue"
So sings Thomas Bailey Aldrich IN a
late poem. It would be unwise to de-
mand bill of particulars of a.poet, nor
shall we ask him if hydromel and rue
is synonyme for Vermont cocktail,
bat he ought to be warned that if the
Massachusetts people find out that he
likes hydromel and rue, they will get
the legislature to pass "a bill forbidding
the use of hydromel. Rue, as sor-
rowful yarb, may escape. The state of
Massachusetts, will not allow poet or
anybody else to enjoy himself if it can
help; and it is understood that there is
a powerful party which seeks to put
prohibition tax on the pleasures OF
retrospection, and to make the use Of
giddy and damp SMILES and metaphors
a hanging matter.

Cinnamon are still crowding into
this country by way of Canada and
Mexico. They will not stay in Mexico
though it is willing to keep them, OF
in Canada though it admits them upon
the payment of head tax of fifty dol
lars each. They cannot be induced to
go to Brazil, though that country has
announced its readiness to receive
them. 1t is to the United States that
they desire to come by the shipload,
millions of them. This is indeed a
great country, and even the Chinese
are aware of 1t.

When the exploring party has re-
turned from its examination of route
for the proposed Ruby Creek trail, it
may confidently be expected that the
report will be favorable to the northern
route. In the meantime we want
united action on the part of the people
Of Bellingham bay. The concensus Of
opinion Of the vast majority Of the PEG
pie is to the effect that the trail is de
sirable and that it should be built with
rs little delay as possible. And we be

II is refreshing to hear from time to
time of the deeadence of prize fighting,
and it is sad commentary on nine
tenth century intelligence and refine
ment that the prize ring has withstood
for so long a time the advance of civ.
ilization. It is high time men ceased
pummelling each other like brutes in
order to win money for themselves and
friends, and to crafty the morbid taste
of certain class of people. Prize fight.
ing should be of the dead past, the liv.
ing present has no use for it.

The Worlds fair Sunday closing war
has assumed a new aspect. The attempt
is made by those who want the exposition
opened to have bill passed in the Illi-
nois legislature permitting the Illinois
exhibit to be shown to visitors on Sun
day in spite of the act of congress clos
ing the fair on that day. Lawyers de-
clare that If this bill is passed 1t will
open the whole fair on Sunday, since the
exposition commission is body incorpo-
rated in Illinois. This would bring up
an important states rights question.

Milk

There is one pure food reform that is
most imperative now at the approach of
warm weather, and that is in connection
with milk. Every year in the uncom-
monty healthy city of Philadelphia 5000
babies die for want of good milk. Milk
dealers adulterate the milk they sell,
and dishonest dairymen confessedly care
not a jot for the quality of the milk they
put on the market so long as they can
get the quantity. 1t is not enough that
a state should pass laws against the mere
adulteration of milk by foreign sub
stances.
1t is also necessary to provide against
selling skimmilk for fresh and against
selling even fresh milk that does not
come up to certain standard of rich
ness under chemical test. Boards Of
health everywhere should take this mat
ter into immediate consideration. Some
Of the states have already excellent mill
laws, among them New York, and her
law could be adapted to suit other local
tiles.
Meantime, If milk dealers and dairy
men could be forced to feed their OWL
children on the fluid they distribute with
out any conjunction of conscience t.
other peoples children, it might be ont
way of touching their leathern sensibil
tiles.

It is always when a spirit of quiet
ness prevails a community that peo-
pie have time to study the weaknesses
of their neighbors. When the mind is
engaged and the hands busy in the
rush of business life, the faults, foibIes
and follies of Others are either over
looked or forgotten. Idleness, then, is
truly the cause of many evils.

Col. Maloney has gone to Washing
ton, but 1t is hardly worth while for a
good Democrat to go there now, for
what he is likely to get, that is to say,
have his toes stepped on at a reception,
lose his hat in the white house, and his
half-smoked cigar on the stone steps
leading thereto, and obtain a cold snub
at private audience with the great
loss.
