RUSSlA'S CRISIS.
She vainly Tried to Bolster Up tn.
Finances OF Her Avistocracy.

She vainly Tried to Bolster Up the
Finances OF Her Aristocracy.
Russia is in the throes OF financial
crisis almost inconoeivably great.
Some years ago the late czar founded a
land bank for the nobility, FOR the pur-
pose OF coming to the rescue Of those
Russian landowners who. owing to the
abolition Of serfdom, were on the point
OF financial collapse. The bank was en-
powered to advance 60 per cent of the
estimated value of the estates on mort.
gage. The idea was that the Russian
noble would devote the money to the
Improvement Of his property. Instead
OF this, he squandered it and spent no
portion thereof in any agricultural i'm
provement, and the result is that today
the bank, having advanced over 81, OOO,-
600, 600, finds itself with millions of
acres on its hands, which it can neither
cultivate nor sell at even 60 per cent of
the estimated value. Either the bank
will fail-in which case the entire
financial credit Of Russia will be shaken
to its foundations-or else the state
will have to come to it's aid with large
amount. The whole affair constitutes
an illustration Of the futility Of trying
to bolster up the finances of an aristoc-
racy that has outlived the sense of it's
responsibilities. New York Tribune.

Dunkers Want TO Establish Govern

The religious society known as Dun

county, Ind. to which it's members will
emigrate to establish government of
their own according to their peculiar
notions.
G. Il. Everett Of Albion is the pro-
jector of the scheme. He has already
purchased al, 900 acres Of land in that
county, to which 100 families will re-.
move in a few days.
The projectors say that neither Jail
nor courthouse will be needed and that
the election Of local officers will be held
only to comply with the law, as all
property will be held in common.
Negotiations are also reported to be
in progress for the purchase of All i'm.

sin. where it is proposed to establish an
