Americans who have exercised them
selves about the restricted freedom OF
persons living In Russia viii naturally
Zoe surprised TO learn how much free
dom and power women enjoy in tho
land OF the ear In some parts OF
Russia women are not only members OF
school boards, but also serve as princi-
pals OF warehouses; and poor guardians.
For instance, In one small province last
year there were forty-fivc women IN OF
fee as supcrintendcnts &; warehouses,
one hundred and twenty-five as poor
law guardians, and two hundred and
eighty-thrce as members OF school
boards. In Finland the women do a
great part OF the work that In other
countries Il left TO the men. Most OF
the oldest and best orchards there
were planted and cared for by women
and the author and publisher OF the
first Finnish work on pomo.oGy was a
woman. Throughout Finland women
hre regularly engaged In agricultural
Labor.

j. OF Recent Creation.
like the English millionaires, these
of the cars dominions mostly derive
their revenues from landed property.
While tho Briton, however, devotes
large part of his gross income toward
improving his possessions and 20 the
nmelioration OF the lot of his tenants in
one way or another, the Russian, ON
the other hand, extracts every farthiug
that he can from his property and
spends II upon himself the result being
that agriculture in Russia is going
from bad 20 worse, that formerly fer
tile and productive estates have now
become barren and impoverished. and
that. while the peasantry are in state
OF misery bordering on famine, the
mobiles themselves have been obliged TO
mortgage or sell their lands, and are az
the end OF their financial tether or
course, there arc some exceptions, such
as, for instance. the Yousoupoffs, the
Demidoffs and the Schercmctictis. The
wealth OF the Demidoffs is SO vast, ac-
cording 90 the New York Tribune, that
IL Is beyond calculation, and strangely
enough the fortune Is Of relatively re-
cent creation, its founder having been
a country blacksmith In the days of Pc
ter the Great. II was while travelling
in the Ural mountains that the latter
broke one OF his most valuable English
pistols. A village smith mended 1t so
quickly and SO well that the car was
delighted and asked the mans name

beginning to think that Peter had for
pottcn him when there came an official
document adorned with the imperial
seal, granting him the freehold OF n
great tract of crown land in the neigh
borhood OF the village. Dcmidotf went
20 work on his new property and found
there incxhaustible mines OF iron, sill

Rev. OIdcn of TopeLn Takes n New
stand ON the Negro Issue.

Topeka, Feb. 2O.-The Rev. @. ID.
Olden, pastor of negro Baptist
church, Sunday night In a sermon on
THE Negro In Politics." electrified his
orthodox Republican congregation with
the declaration that the Republican
party made the greatest mistake Of its
life when IT gave to the negro the right
to vote" He said the negro was led as
sheep to the slaughter by the Republl-
can white man, and that he had been
the tool of the white man. The Re
publicans had given TO the negro his
vote In order to get control Of the
South. and when they had feathered
their own nests they left four and q
half million negroes to the mercy OF
their old masters. This was the cause
of the murders In the South, and the
Republican party was as guilty In the
sight of God as the man who drew
blood.
olden is recognized as the most
thoughtful and best Informed man
among the colored clergy Of the city.
He has uttered a great many Ideas in
advance OF public opinion since he
came TO Topeka, but last nights de-
nunciation OF the Republican party
was his first argument against the
theory OF infallibility of the Republic
can party so commonly accepted among
the colored people.
