In Bitter Earnest.

LADD, Ills, Aug. 8. - Foreigners at
Spring Valley, under the leadership of the
Italians and negroes, who have con-
centrated their forces at Seatonville,
are both organizing their men, and, as the
towns are practically under mob law, a
deadly conflict is soon anticipated. The
non-English speaking miners at Spring
Valley held a meeting yesterday and
passed a resolution that no negroes, men,
women or invalids, would be allowed to
remain inside the city limits after o'clock
this afternoon. The negroes at Seaton-
vile held a meeting and organized them
selves for active service. AS the police
and sheriff are making no efforts to arrest
the rioters, the spirit of lawlessness is on
the increase

Murderous Turks.

LONDON, Aug. 6-Advices dated Ar
menia, July 20, say: The condition of
the Armenians is worse than ever. They
regard Shakir Pasha as their worst enemy,
and his appointment as contemptuous de.
fiance of Europe's demand. Deliberate
persecution, slaughter and pillage of the
Armenians are pursued today with the
same ruthless vigor and flendish ingenuity
as in former years. Arms are distributed
among the Moslems In the frontier dis
tricts, and every day news arrives of fresh
murders, wholesale imprisonment and
pillage. II the sultan is courting revolu-
ton, he will surely have his way. Unless
the persecution is stopped, the country
will be in such blaze that nothing short
of Russian occupation will extinguish it.

WILLIAM wETTMORE STORY

The death OF W. W. Story recalls vol
ume OF memories of the early art Of
America, when the new country was sup
posed to have a distinctive school. Far
back of the time when Bierstadt, Kensett,
the Harts, Church, and Others set the pace
for what may be called the second era OF
art in pigments in America, Story had
earned laurels In the plastic workshop.
To great extent. however, he ceased
to be American after he had acquired
popularity and money on account Of the
accident OF his American birth. He cast
simply as medium for making money-an
affiiation aud practice which have been
closely followed by his son, who is now
asking American patronage.
The work of Mr.. Story which is best
known to the majority of Washingtunians
is the statue of Chief Justice Marshall
which is placed at the foot OF the Capitol
terrace. 1t is an uncomfortable produc-
ton in every sense, and yet has real
value as the work of a man who stood at
the head of American sculptors in his
day.
Since Mr.. Story passed except as
historical figure in the art world a race OF
sculptors has come into ex isteuce in
felt in every corner OF the world, and
whose presence is emphasized by the death
OF a master in the obsolete school

Three Hoary Memories.

One hundred years ago about one-tbirtieth
of the population of America lived in cities.
To-day the urban residents number be-
tween one-fourth and one-third nf the total.
The latest statistics show that in Austria
3S per cent, in Germany A per cent, and
in Italy 90 per cent. Of the people live in
cities.
The old grammar school In Boston, Lin
colnshire, England. still stands, although
1t was founded in 1854, in the ninth year
of Queen Elizabeth's reign. In it were
doubtless instructed many of those sturdy
men and women who afterward stopped on
the Massachusetts, shores to found there a
new city named for their old birthplace,
for the old and the new Boston had been
nourished upon the same diet of religion,
morals and literature.
The first known lighthouse is the Pharos,
of Alexandria, Egypt, erected 800 B. c.
The first lighthouse in Great Britain was
built in 1909. The Eddystone was at one
time lighted by candles, twenty-four, weigh
Ing two and half pounds each, being used
at time. The first of such structures in
America stood In Boston harbor.

THE REPORT PERTINENT.

An officer in charge of test of rapid
firing guns at Sandy Hook last week, when
two men were killed and three wounded by
premature explosion, has reported to the
department that such weapons are dan
gerous, and suggests that the inventors
should first preside at their thorough test.
Such report may seem to have an ele-
ment of sarcasm, but 1t is seminently sensible.
On other occasions than the one referred
destroy those In immediate charge of the
experiments. This possibility of the sac
rifice of human lives In the interests Of the
development of superior weapons for army
and navy warfare, should not be permitted.
Army and navy Officers should not be ex
experiment with every invention which is
commended to the department. 1t Is u most
sensible suggestion, that the inventors and
promoters should assume the post of
danger and permit the government repre-
sentatives to be well protected SO long
as experiment does not show uDquestionable
success.
Only a few weeks ago scientific food"
which had been foisted upon the commissary
department by some plausible inventor,
narrowly escaped responsibility for the
murder of half hundred soldiers who were
sentu upon forced march to test Its efficacy.
1t is safe TO say, that IL this food had been
thoroughly tried upon its inventor, the
soldiers would have been put to No cOlicky
Inconvenience whatever.

The Gram matical Rule.

From time to time examinations of classes
In the elementary schools are conducted
under the auspices OF the superintendent
of public schools in order TO test the work
of the teachers. In the early days of the
superintendency, teachers who expected
visit from one of the assistant superintend-
ents would carefully drill their pupils and
prepare them to go on dress parade" In
one OF these cases the children had been
taught to recitc number of words.
which included an array OF nouns, adjec-
uves, adyerbs, etc, in measured quantity.
"Wbat is fully" asked the teacher.
'Adverb," sliouteH the class.
'.And this?" as she wrote surely" on
the board.
"Advcrb!'' again responded the young
tiers.
''Ar! what is this" queried the assistant
superintendent. writing The fly has WINGS
and pointing to "fiy."
'Adverb!" Justify exclaimed the class.
'.And why is it an adverb?''

dent aDswer.-Philadeiphi Call.

Figures That Lie-HOw the Star Mis-
represents TO the Public.
Saturdays Star announced that its
circulation was many thousands in excess
ofany other Washington onpaperandis believed
to be fully five times that Of any afternoon
contemporary" This falsirication is easy
to expose.
The daily average circulation of The
Times for the six days on which the Star
bases its calculation was 1857; that
Of the Star was 20 $50. For the sake OF
the argument, let us admit that the star
has five times the circulation of our even
Ing edition. One-fifth the circulation of
ME Star is 8 1867. Subtract that amount
rom 81, ,36T, the average of The Times,
and 2I,637 is left 10 represent the cir
culation of our morning edition Com
pare that amount with the 2S $50 which
the Star falsely claims, is many thou
sands i'll excess of any other Washington
paper" and you will see that its figures lie.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was III, sol That of. The Times
was 223,776. The Star gained 1,424
In circulation during the week and The
Times added to its list 7,75l.
These figures should be satisfactory
proof as to which is the most popular news
paper, and should also demonstrate to
advertisers where they can obtain best
results.
The Times is in the lead and will stay
shere, because it is the best daily in Wash
ington.

R0Po1KlI on RUSSIA
Eyned Mhillst Prince Explains Clearly
Some Strange Industrial Riddles.
How Under Grinding Taxation His
Country Export Grain and the
People Hunger and Starve.

Prince Kropotkin approaches the subject
OF conditions in Russia Just as he would the
clearing up of any veXed scientific matter.
and in his treatment of his topic is as cool
as he is judicious
| He is convinced that Russia is in a stage
of transition, and that this arises because
she has suffered acutely In her economical
life. mo nation Of Europe has ever had to
face such national calamites as the famine
years of 1891 and 1892, and convinced IL
self of its utter helplessness to prevent like
calamities In the future; no nation has un-
dergone such q systematic annhilation OF
all the organs of local self-government,
and such an obstruction OF all the channels
| in which the local constructive forces could
| find an issue from present difficulties"
| Twenty years ago q commission made a
| report on the condition OF the peasant, and
its conclusion was, 1.-The peasantry is now
in such state that a slight failure of
crops will unavoidably result in u terrible
| famine" Russia Is, above all, an agri
cultural nation, "a peasant nation" She
| has her industries, but her foreign market
| is insignificant. The customers OF Russian
industries are the Russian peasants. In the
lOuK, WliittI, Wuch - I'M
possible then cottage industry is carried
out. Prince Kropotkin says this gives en-
ployment to not less than 5000 900 peo-
PIE, whose product is worth G1sO, 100000.
II is the Russian peasant who buys. But the
Russian lives on the agricultural products.
II there are 300 1000, 900 acres titled the
peasant cultivates or owns 204,OOO,OOO
acres, and, in addition, he works on the
81 900 900 acres owned by the great OF mo-
BILE proprietors. To sum this up, we have
so, 900, 900 peasants. who grow nine -tenths
OF all the cereals, and at the same time main
tain the Industries and the main bulk Of
the trade.
The imperial revenue, which now at
tains nearly f1O1 100000, comes from
the peasants I'm fact, SO much depends
upon the peasants condition that the years
OF least deficits, cheapest loans Coans
are contracted every. year., and least ex-
penditure upon the interest paid ON for
eisn loans are in the years of the rich
crops, such as 1888 and 1888" The
more corn in the peasants barns the more
money there is for minister of finance.
What is the condition OF the Russian
peasant? 1t is Poverty scarce capable of
fathoming, writes Prince Kropotkin. "A
table, wooden bench; no trace OF bed
ding, the sheepskin OF the wooden over
cloth being taken off the shoulders TO
serve as mattress, or bedcloth. Nay,
piece of cotton or linen rag and scrap
of paper are luxuries which the doctor
and the midwife look in vain for in a
peasant household"

WEATHER CONGRATULATIONS.

= -
The weather may be trite subject,
but upon this occasion one may be ex-
cused fer offering 10 everybody else the
most cordial congratul at ions, because
of the fact that the drouth is apparently
ended. We, of the city, and especially
of the City of Washington, cannot easily
estimate the hardship that has been en-
dured elsew here on account of the water
famine.
Throughout Pennsylvania, New York,
and, in fact, all Of the Middle and several
of the Western and Southern States, city
and country have suffered more than at
any other time for long years on account
of lack of water. In scores of towns
and cities " ater, even for drinking pur-
poses, was brought from long distances,
and had fire broken out nothing could
have saved sgch populous communities
from great disaster.
The drouuh in the region of Washington
has had its serious phases. Vegetation
has suffered. Diaries have furnished Door
milk and meagre supply. Sewers have
not been thoroughly flushed for months.
Feyers IN various forms have resulted,
and the typhoid has been in evidence as it
lad not been before for many years.

ONE PHASE OF THE FUTURE.

Possibly at any time in all the years
since the reclamation OF the Potomac
flats began there has been no hesitancy in
making appropriations. on account OF a
doubt in regard to the title TO KidweH
Bottoms. This was merely used as an
excuse for parsimonious local appropri-
ations by Congressmen who wanted the
money of the Treasury for the frog pouds
and goose creeks of their own districts.
1t may now be assumed that this excuse
is no longer substantial. 1t is hardly to
be supposed that the Kidwell Bottoms
contest will be longer persistent. There
fore there is nothing in the way of sensible.
and muuificent appropria tons for the i'm
provement of that entire region known as
the Potomac flats. For years mud has been
dredged from channel and basin only to
be washed back and re-dredged in large
Quantities. For years a strong sea wall
has existed only in Imagination. except
for short distances. For years the whole
OF the made ground has been over
grown with rank underbrush, which was
and is resort for the idle and degraded,
who are there comparatively exempt
from police surveillance.
This perpetual dredging contract, with
Its results OF jungle and morass, should
now cease. Ample appropriation should
be made to complete the reclamation of
the flats before the blast of Gabriers
trumpet is heard; and in connection with
this great work the project should be re-
vfved, with greater energy than ever, to ac-
quire by purchase or condemnation the
territory south of the Avenue, between
the Botanical Gardens and the "Man'
and the Monument and White lots, for
one grand park. and for sites upon the bor-
der of the Avenue for public buildings
which are imperatively necessary.
