Until within recent years the Rus

was guarded in a surprisingly weak
manner for nation so completely un-

of garrisons only few miles apart, and
careful patrol service between them.
The chief duty Of these garrlsons is to
prevent smuggling, and the introduce

The duty is hard ant rtnpous, and
the car does not like to ais best
trained and most effective regiments
sent out along the boundary line.
For the most part these garrisons
consist Of young recruits from the
eastern and central provinces of Rus
sia. They are seldom expert soldiers,
and the lax discipline they are under
is further weakened by their excessive
drinking. Their small pay is doled out
to them twice a month, and every
kopeck Of 1t is Immediately expended
In vodka. After the voka is gone they
employ their spare time in making
raids across the boundary line into the
German farm yards to supplement their
meager rations. Along the entire
boundary line between these two coun-
tries there is a series Of great open
plains. Over these an icy east wind
blows In winter, and the only way the
soldiers can keep alive on their patrol
Is by the building of wood fires be-

frequently have their limbs frozen IN

Hence 1t is not at all difficult to Snug

1t Is suspected that the soldiers often
add to their small pay by making deals
with the smugglers and turning their
heads the other way when they pass
by. Two very novel attempts were

Senator PeRer,s Letter.

Washington. D. c., Oct. q, 1885,
]. H. Turner, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir: l have just read your letter
of the 10th instant, asking my opinion
as to the wisdom of the Populist
party adopting the course outlined In
an editorial article which was pub
lished in the Silver Knight of October
10th, proposing a union Of friends of
monetary reform under the banner of
the Populist party.
There can be no reasonable objec-
ton to such a union. 1t is the proper
thing, the wise thing to do. 1 am
most heartily in favor of 1t, and am
quite sure every Populist is of the same
mind. The Knight gives at least two
good reasons why this coming together
should take place at once. It says: All
the energy of the gold combination is
now directed at keeping the rank and
file of the two old parties in line;' and
it adds: The silver people and those
who are in favor of financial reform are
fully aware of the fact that the mem
bers of the POpulist party are sound on
that question
How true both these statements are,
and they cover the whole ground. There
is no mistaking the fact that the great
leaders of both Democrat and Repub-
lican parties favor the single gold
standard; and 1t is equally true that the
only great party which is solidly and on
principle opposed to them, is the Popu-
list party. 1t is perfectly clear, there
fore, that all "the silver people and
friends of financial reform" ought to be
with us now. They have neither SYM
pathy nor friends anywhere else. The
Populist party was formed for the ex-
press purpose of opposing the gold
combination" and every other combina-
ton that is robbing the people. We are
absolutely unanimous on the silver
question. There is no division among
us on the general subject of monetary
reform. We are the only party that
from the beginning has made war on
gold monometallism and all its long
trail of evils. 1t is not only wise for
all friends Of silver and of financial re-
form to unite with the Populists, but
1t is imperatively necessary If we ex-
pect success.
But the Silver Knight hesitates be-
cause, as 1t thinks, the Populist party
is numbered with unnecessary issues

ATHLETICS IN GERMANY.

The German boy, up to his 18th Of
10th year, when he leaves school, IL
looked upon merely as machine fol
grinding out Latin, Greek, and math
ematicS writes PoulteneY BlgelOW In
Harper's Magazine. If he has in
each week two or three hours de-
voted to gymnastic exercises he con-
siders himself fortunate. 1t never
enters his head that he should spend
at least three hours day In outdoor
games Of some kind.
His teachers hold up their hands in
horror at the idea of deVOting as
much attention to the physical cul-
ture Of their pupils as to the cram
ming OF their minds with dead
knowledge. Even my excellent Ger
man tutor, who fitted me for Yale,
and VINO was himself a teacher Of
gymnastics regarded it as monstrous
that boys should spend two or three
hours a day in playing football or
rowing.
The whole professional caste of
Germany loyal as it is to the Hohen-
Zollerns, regards this Emperor with
ill-disguised surpiciOn, because Of his
desire that the German schOol-boV
should be vigorous typical creature
Is we'll as an educated one. The
drudgery of the School-bOy's life can
scarcely be credited by one who has
not lived it, and it is only because
the Emperor has suffered under it
that he is so strong an advocate for
improvement
The injury to health, which is the
direct result Of the unnatural life
led by the German boy has become
strangely apparent in late years,
through published statistics; but even
without them the evils manifest
themselves to impartial eyes in the
difficulty Of getting men of proper
build to ill the ranks of the officers

If the War Department accomp-
fishes nothing more than to bring
pressure upon the academic bodies in
this one direction, it will have justi.

Emperor should die having done
nothing greater than to leave every
school child the right to physical de-
velopment as well as mental. he will
have earned the gratitude OF every
mother and school child in the father
land.

This Is a free country, and free speech

not only because it helps to preserve

all the same, Mr.. Ware is a firebrand,

took occasion to rebuke him. He should
have chosen somewhere else to pro-

from such crankism.
The monarchs and politicians OF

Minneapolis Journal: The children
and various things in which they are
concerned are now absorbing the at
tention Of the Woman's improvement
league, as is quite natural, as the &C
tive membership is made up largely Of
mothers and teachers, and this is their
common ground Of special interest.
Yesterday, at the meeting Of the Young
Mems Christian association, Miss
Wertz, chairman of the committee for
the destruction of the Russian thistle,
reported that thirty-two schools had
been engaged in this work and had
during the year destroyed 1,140,631, an
average of twenty to each scholar. The
prizes were awarded to the Douglass,
Van Cleve, Corcoran, Prescott, and
Clinton schools. Honorable mention
was made of the Lyndale, Clay, Motley,
Bryant, Greeley, Schiller, and Wash
ington. The prizes will be pictures
adapted to the grades, suitable for
hanging in the school rooms.
The curfew ordinance, which was ap-
pointed as the topic for discussion at
the meeting was taken up quite at
length. Mrs. Robert Pratt reported on
the investigation which she had made
at the request Of the league. The or
dinance is in use in sixteen towns Of
the state, and is most successfully oper-
ated in saltwater, the largest town that
has adopted it. The women passed a
resolution indorsing it and pledging
their support to an effort to get such
an ordinance passed here. The matter
of ascertaining the number of children
who are not attending school was ap-
pointed a subject for the league meet.
