AN interesting phase of the labor
problem was recently developed in the
construction of the great trans. Siberian
railway. More than 5000 men are now
employed along its line and this force
includes ccnvicts, Russian laborers,
troops of the Russian army, and several
Thousand Chinese. It is curious to
think that convict labor would cause
trouble in that remote part Of the world
and under the rigorous conditions Of
that government, but the Chinese and
Russian workmen got together and read
a strong ~anti-convict riot act. 1t hap
pened thus that the Chinese asserted
themselves on labor matters with much
more emphasis under an autocratic gov
eminent than in our own liberty
enlightened land of freedom. The Rus
sian government, as might have been
expected, had it's own way in the mat
ter, but not until much violence and
disorder had been suppressed.

THE Menora Monthly, a leading jew
ish magazine, adds a most suggestive
lesson to the many beautiful tributes to
the memory and life Of the late Phillips
Brooks. 1t says:
BROOKS was prominently. a liberal
preacher. His lectures on Tolerance"
speak for the man. He taught that,
God being our Father, all men are
brothers, and that We are to love even
intidels and pagans, Buddhists, Moham-
medans and the worshippers of zeus.
Around each one of us lie four concen-
trio circles. The nearest encloses the
particular church to which he belongs;
the next distant the whole body Of his
W religion; the one after that, those
who cherish any religious belief what
ever; the last, all mankind, even those
with no religion at ALL 1t is refreshing
in even this last decade of the nine
teenth century to know that q great
preacher Of religion has been teaching
such views. And the more's the pity
that he has been called away from life
SO early"
This is the true plane of religion and
it's followers should keep the above text
in mind.

1T is observed that the only denunci-
alton of the proposed Russian treaty
comes from exiled anarchists, a class Of
people who are entitled to no sympathy
from our government. They are enc
mics of all organized society and wher-
ever the blighting touch of their pres
enoe is found there grow the seeds OF
revolution. The Chicago riots Of 1856
must not be forgotten whom appeals are
made from other governments for the
requisition of criminals who employ
their spare time in spreading their
dangerous teachings in the United
States.

THE FARMER OF THE FUTURE.

The Hon. jeremiah Rusk, late secre-
tary of agriculture, contributes a most
readable article to the last North Amer
lean Review on the future of farming in
the United States. He bases an inter
esting prophecy on the many changes
in the past, and gives q most pleasing,
though not an overdrawn picture Of the
good things to come to the farmer Of the
near future. These, he believes, will
not result from striking improvement Of
methods, but rather from a normal
change in conditions of population, etc.
He does not look for much improvement
in the line of farm implements, though
he thinks that in many districts of the
west these will be used on a larger scale
with electricity and steam. Nor does
he give credence to the belief that there
will be increased rainfall caused by the
use OF explosives or other methods. The
Arcadian life in the country, which he
fancies will be realized, is thus described
by Mr.. Rusk.
'In the first place, the average size of
our farms will be considerably less than
now. There will be large farms. no doubt;
but under such a modernized system OF
agriculture as will unQuestionably prevail
q hundred years hence, what will be re.
parded as O large farm then would not bt

present day. Moreover. for reasons which
have already indicated, there will be

cities. but in all those sections where irri

even in rural districts, and hence far les

isolation will be still further diminished b

with handsome shade trees, and aysilabl

electric motors will be established, withou

extending ont ssvoral miles into the coun

every farmhouse, and should the preser
postmaster general be privileged to revis
the scene Of his earthly labors he will fin

confidence of the community that theil

performance Of the vessel under way was
admirable, and her steering qualities ex-

NEW YORK, juno a. Shortly before

tug careened so that she almost capsized

yard also put out. Men on the Ell

gineer. but the fireman went down before
he could be reached.
In the meantime the ferryboat and the
