TOLSTOTs NEW STORY.
w. d. HoweIls Writes an Introduction to
the Great Russian Realist's Novel.

the Great Russian RealistB Novel.
The Messrs. Appleton did we'll when they
chose Mr. Howells to write the introduce
ton to Count Leo Tolstois new book,
master and Man." The famous Russian
has no greater admirer not even in his
own country, than Mr.. Howells.
ut is" says Mr.. Howells, "like the
clasp of great warm hand with the beat
of friendly heart in it, the heart of man
who neither looks down upon his fellow
man nor up to him, but meets him on the
common level Of their humanity and be-
gins a. once to live with him in the real
things OF his soul"
You and in reading this story might
take it merely rs a story of a certain phase
of Russian life, the hard. unpicturesque
phase, showing the peculiar relations be-
tween master and man.
Mr.. Howells, on the other hand, finds it
not only masterpiece as story, but tho
drama of the race, playing itself in mo.
ment, in a corner, as it has played itself
through all history on the stage of the
world. The man who has helplessly, max
ing his prey of the man who has not, serv-
ing himself of him, using his life as if it
were another garment to fence him against
the cold, and exploiting his helpless per-
sonality as If it were so much inanimate
property, and the man who has not, yield.
ing to the man who has, with dumb,
dreamy sense Of the injustice, such as per-
haps the perishable brutes feel,
That nourish blind life within the brain,
but thinking of no way to right himself,
submitting, suffering TO the end, and ac-
cepting fate with sarcastic patience and
an articulate intelligence-thisi is the story,
and it would not be more than this, or per-
haps worth telling, if it were not for the
drama which goes on tacitly in the heart
of the man who has, while the other play
proceeds explicitly between him and the
man who has not. The art of the work is
shown in the fact that nothing is forced in
the action without or within, but all hap
pens naturally and because it must"
The lesson of this fable" as Mr.. How
ellis finds it, is "human brotherhood the
thing which when once we know it, how
ever little, seems the divinest thing within
the reach of our human experience, but
which only some rare chance can accord as
long as the relation of 'hireling and him
that hires is the order of the world. -

To the Editor Of the New York Sun:
SIR-Permit me to offer u mild remon-

sible and moderate statesmen of the cen.
fury and will favorably compare with the
greatest of his predecessors, including Lin
coin and even Washington He stands out
prominently in an age Of corruption and
of turpitude as the one strong man in a
blatant land.
What, may ask, has America to gain
by winking at revolution in the Ha-
waiian islands or encouraging filibusters
in Cuba or crack Drained annexationists
in Canada? This country has prospered by
steadily pursuing policy of noninterfer-
ence and peace. The constitution was not
intended to stand the strain of extensive
colonization and the country is today
large enough to satisfy the most ambitious.
What the people want is not more terri
tory, but more liberty. We do not want
more Rockefelers to increase the price Of
oil, nor more Armours to corner meat, nor
gamblers to enhance the price of grain;
we surely have enough trusts and tramps
roll our pork kings and railroad kings and
oil kings and iron kings and political
bosses all into one decent dictator, or inn
perialist if you WILL and create a mon
archy right away. We could watch one
thief and check his ravages in the sweet
vineyard of our liberties, but we cannot
watch a thousand We could treat him as
a wild boar and like the Greeks, Stay
him upon the spot, but it seems utterly
impossible to keep pace, even with the as
sistance of vigilant press, upon the myr-
lads Of petty bosses and ignorant usurpers
who have now fastened themselves upon
the nation.
This bugaboo about the kings of feudal
ages cannot be exploded a moment too
soon. No monarch like Louis XIV or
Charles V is now possible in any part Of
Europe, and in the presence Of popular
suffrage and free press they could not ex
ist here or accomplish half the injury
which a crowd of plutocratic gulchions
perform in the name of liberty and under
the forms of a republic.
Bah! The other day saw the statue of
Liberty paraded in the public streets be-
hind candy cart and the stars and stripes
rolled around a ragged urchin peddling
cheap cigars on the Bowery! In any mon
archy in Europe these boys would be at
school, and if they had the good fortune
to be born in England they would be taken
care of by some benevolent legislation or
by donor like the Duchess of Montrose,
who nobly bequeathcd a sum of 9S5, 600

Women In the Labor Movement.

A woman's political club has been or
ganized recently in Cleveland by Mrs.
Mary Smith, working woman. and the
first woman member of the Franklin club.
The purpose of the club is to avert the la
Dor revolution which she believes will
eventually come to this country unless the
women organize so as to give sympathy
and helping hand in the time of need,
and in some mysterious way prevent the
bloodshed which she thinks will surely
follow continuation of the present order
of things. She has great hopes of the rapid
growth of her club, and intends to estab-
lish branches in every state in the Union
as soon as they are strong enough, and an.
ticipates march to Washington in 1900
in the interest of laws which will cripple

Wouldn,t Eat Them RAW.

A good story comes from the dispensary
of one of the Chicago hospitals. The physi-
clan in attendance after listening to wo-
mans tale regarding her husbands all
ment, prescribed some medicine and also
told her to apply some leeches on the sick
man. When the woman returned next day,
the doctor asked her if her husband was
better.
"No," she said; che is rather worse, If
anything"
"Did you follow out my instructions
with regard to the leeches?"
"Well, no-not exactly. John wouldn't
eat them raw, so fried them for him. -
