THE CENSOR IN RUSSIA.

Professor Nikiticukos Memoirs are
likely to be interesting. He was formerly
at the st. Petersburg university. and gives
some account of the ways of the censor
in Russia. The censor once sent for the
writer of a dream-book, and asked him
why he believed that the stars had an in
f1uence on mems lives. AS the author
could give no satisfactory explanation.
the book was condemned The censor
Jelagoff ordained that passage in a book
on Siberia, stating that dogs were used
in that country for dragging carts, must
be cut out, because this statement has
not yet been Endorsed by the government"
Some years ago there was cattle show
at Warsaw, and a Polish paper spoke
about the Mecklenburg cows to be seen
there.
1T would be better IL you said Spanish"
said the censor.
May ask Why"
Don't try to humbug me, sir. You
were thinking Of the grand dukes OF Meek
lenburg when you wrote that, and-they
are related TO our dynasty"
Paintings also are subject to censor
ship. The painter Alchimovicz painted a
picture called advice from the Land
lord" in which some peasants were rep
resented going TO the lord of the knout.
The censor said, Peasants must not ask
advice Of landlords, but get 1t from gov
eminent official" When Alchimovicz
called his picture Engaging Laborers"
he was allowed 10 exhibit 1.-THE Realm.

No. there is no uneaSinesS in Wash
ington. nor there would not be though
the rafters of the universe should take
tumble. Missionaries may be muir
dered by the almond-eyed brute of in
terror China. Waller may rot in a

there is no uneasiness in Washington.
What does the Monroe doctrine

Cuba, our next door neighbOr. cry in
her despair but for a recognition of the
rights of a beliggerent? there is no I'M
easiness in Washington. Carlisle has
gone off on a boating expedition, the
vice president is off for Algaska. while
all the cabinet save one are junketing
or stumping or hOb-nobbing with the
members Of the gold bond syndicate,
but what matters it so long as there
is no uneasiness in Washington?
True, there may be no uneasiness in
Washington, but there is uneasiness
all over this broad land outside of
Washington. among all its people, an
uneasiness which borders on a political
and financial panic which if not avert
ed will not only reach Washington and
the monarch of Gray Gables but the
kings of Wall street themselves.

POWER OF THE JAWS.

BY means Of a spring instrument. pro-
v;ded with registering device DIR. G. V.
Black took records of about 1Je bites"
Of different persons. OF these, fifty have
been preserved as cha. scteristic vr the
ordinary man, woman, anu child. The
smallest pressure recorded was thirty
pounds. by a little girl years old This
was with the incisors. Using her mo.ars,
the same child exerted force OF 50
pounds. The highest record was made Uy
a physician OF 50. The instrument used
only registered 30 pounds, and he simply
closed ii together without apparent effort
There was no method Of determining how
far above 30 pounds he could have gone.
This test was made with the molars- Sew
eral persons exceeded test OF 100 pounds
with the incisors and 2o with the molars.
DIR. Black found that in the habitual
chewing of food much more force Is exert
ed than is necessary. In chewing piece

was from 40 10 Is pounds, from % 10 80
pounds stress was actually employed at
each thrust OF the teeth. The principle

A. TO O. pounds: roast beef. 10 10 50 pounds:
pork chops. - 10 - pounds; and the choic-

Tapnv RECOGNITION.

The government has just awarded a
medal to John S. Kountz. the drummer
boy of Company G. Thirty-seventh
Ohio Volunteers. Thirty-two years
ago at the battle of Mission Ridge,
Johnnie" Kountz was beating his
drum with might and main when his
company was ordered TO charge.
Pounding a drum was altogether too
tame for Johnnie at such a time. He
threw it aside. seized a musket and led
his comrades in the charge. His
heroic conduct so inspired them that
they made most gallant advance and
distinguished themselves in the fight.
AS mark of appreciation of such
bravery, the government has now con-
ferred medal upon the former drum
mer boy. who afterward became COM
mander-in-chief Of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
Thirty-two years is long while to
wait for official recognition of gallant
conduct, but better late than never
A good many brave men grow old and
die before the world finds out that they
have done anything in particular.

THE KIND OF MAN,

Chief Justice David Martin pays his
fare when he rides on the railroads. A
Globe reporter saw him purchase ticket
to Topeka this morning, and afterwards
give it to Conductor Griffith, OF the Santa
Fe. Prior to Martins appointment he
was a practicing attorney, and, like all
other prominent attorneys carried paste
board which would answer as money on
all roads. But he has done the square
thing with the public, and has refused
to be under obligations to the railroads.
II is almost certain that they have ten
dered him transportation, but as Martin
never talks about his private affairs, no
body knows anything about 1t. In giving
up passes Martin has done something few
officials do.-AtchiSon Globe.

is inordinate wealth, and the facility
with which under class legislation and

A ESS TOWN.

There is a terrible state of affairs at
Emporia. Its truly good people are travel
ing over the state denouncing other towns
for disobeying the laws, while at home
new law of the city is openly and de-
family violated every day and every hour.
and the newspapers say the officers do
not even dare to attempt to enforce it.
Emporia is in a state OF actual anarchy,
worse than ever Atchson, Leavenworth
and Wichita thought of being. And all
the time the town is sending good men to
other places to instruct people of those
other towns how TO behave. The state
government should suppress this lawless-
ness in Emporia If il is necessary to cali
on the militia to do it.-Lawrence Journal

HE WAS A KANSAN.

Hon. Scion o. Thacher died at his home
in Lawrence, Sunday morning. 1t may
be truly said that Judge Thacher was one
of the builders of Kansas. He settled in
the territory in July 1853, and Immediately
became a factor in law. politics and pub
lie affairs generally. He was a member
Of the Wyandotte constitutional conven-
ton, in which he served as chairman OF
the legislative committee. He was among
the ablest of the legal minds in that body.
He served repeatedly in the house and
senate. and on the bench as district judge.
1t will thus be seen that he was in position
continuously in the early days where he
had opportunity TO do much in shaping
the policy of the state. In 1864 he was
the anti-Lane candidate for governor. He
was born August 81, 1880, entered politics
in the Fremont campaign. and served in

SILVER IS COMING.

Gustav II. Schwab is the suggestive
name of the gentle German whom the
New York chamber of commerce chose
to spend money and spread literature
in the interest of the big bond goldbug
syndicate and to otherwise fight to a
finish the silver movement. This head
center of the single standard monopoly
is represented as being worthy of the
confidence reposed in him, being well
Informed and better posted on the sill
yer movement than any member of the
chamber. Having got his literary
bureaus organized and at work he has
been busying himself about the real
formidability of the movement and in
aScertaining how far the 'silver craze"
had died out. The investigation seems
thus far to have proved discouraging
The south was known to be quite
badly afflicted with the desire for more
money and the west to be wild for the
dollar of the daddies, but that the
heresy should be found to be spread
ing in an alarming way in the old Re
publican state Of Pennsylvania proves
little less than paralyzing. The ''half-
dollar heresy" spreads like wild-fire
under the tutilage of Don Cameron
OF kentucky and Missouri Mr.. Schwab
talks rather discouragingly. He seems
unable to account for the craze which
is carrying Bourbons out Of the Dem
ocratic party, and incredulous that it
should now threaten to capture state
organizations of all parties.
1t is no use, Mr.. Schwab. It's a
waste Of time and money. Beyond
the confines of Wall street and your
chamber Of commerce, and outside Of
the immediate influence of your metro

bfOre silver was demonetized. Before
1873 labor had little cause to organize
for protection. America was the
asylum for the oppressed of all ma
lions, and American labor was the best
paid and the most contented in the
world. How is it now, and how has
it been, on the average, since the old
American policy Of Give and let live'
was abandoned at the behest of the
comparative few who control the gold
Of the world? Instead Of being those

The masses of our country are little,

than those of the most favored of the
over-populated countries Of the Old

will not long continue to be so If the
