THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

Owing to the failure of the har-
vests in seven districts Of the gov
ernmcnt Of kasan, and in the pro
vinccS of Samara, Saratof ,Simblrlk,
Niatka and Perm, where the crops
are almost worthless and even the
landed gentry are beginning to ask
the government for relief, the Rus
sian government is adopting meas
urcS to relieve the sufferers. But
the distress is becoming more acute
every day. The peasants are denud
ing their cottages of the thatches in
order to feed the stock. In spite
of this cattle and hores are dying
in great numbers. The government
officials are very slow in putting the
relief measures into effect, and the
only relief thus far has been the
granting permission to the peasants
to gather faggots in the woods for
fuel and to collect dried leaves for
fodder. The peasants are exhaust
ed from lack of food, and unless
the promised supplies are speedily
sent, the suffering among the peas
antry will be terrible. The Spring.

American politics is beginning

paigns. In California the guber-
material campaign is full Of blast.
The principal issue is the railroad
power, but both sides are discussing
the merits Of the single tax, owing
to the fact that the Democratic can
didate for governor is single tax
advocate. The voters in Wash
ington have the same question be-
fore them in u more definite way.

A SENSATIONAL. "REMINISCENCES.

The engagement Of Miss Ed;
Sickles, daughter of General Dan
icl Il. Sickles, of New York, is N
interesting announcement, because
the young woman bears nam,
which at once recalls one of tn,
most remarkable tragedies of the
last generation. General Sickle,
shot and killed Philip Barton Key
son of Francis Scott Key (wht
composed THE Star -Spangled Ban
ncr'), because he had dlShOnorco
his home. General Sicklcs then
forgave his erring wife, and in tn,
face of u tumult of criticism he re.
instatcd Mrs. Sicklcs in his hom,
and made this answer to his
friends
DUTY 70 AN ERRING WIFE.
Ny reconciliation with my wife
was my own act, done without con
sultation with any relative, con
nectiOn, friend or adviser. What
ever blame, if any, belongs to the
step should fall mpon me.
am prepared to defend what !
have done before the only tribunal
| recognize MS having the slightest
claim to jurisdiction over the sub
ject-my own conscience and the
bar Of Heaven
am not aware of any statute or
code of morals which makes it in
famous to forgive II woman nor is
it usual to make our domestic life
n subject of consultation with
friends, no matter how near and
dear to us. And ! cannot allow
even all the world combined to
dictate to me the repudiation of
my wife when | think it right to
forgive her and restore her to my
confidence and protection.
If | ever failed to comprehend
the utterly desolatc position Of an
offending though penitent woman
the hopeless future, with It's dark
possibilities of danger, to which
she is doomed when prescribed ms
IN outcast-I can now see plainly
enough in the almost universal
howl Of denunciation with which
she is followed to my threshold,
the misery and peril from which |
have rescued tho mother of my
child.
And although it is very sad for
mo to incur the blame of friends
and the reproaches Of many wise
and good people, | shall strive to
prove to all who may feel any in
terest in me that ! am the first man
who has ventured to say to the
world that III erring wife and
lnother may be forgiven and re-
deemed, IN spite Of all obstacles in
my path, the good results of this
example shall entitle it to the imi-
tation Of the generous and the
commendation of the just.
There are many who think that
an act of duty, proceeding solely
from affections which can only be
comprehended in the heart of n
husband and father, is to be fatal
to my professional, political and
social standing. If this be so,
then SO be it.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Greatest Of all the goals that u

superintendent should have before
them is this, that every child within
the limits Of the city should have II
full and careful instruction IN the
primary branches of education Let
there be enough teachers and
enough schools and enough watch
fulness to make sure that not II
single child loses the benefits of
the system or grows up illltcratc,
incompetent or perhaps criminal. IT

more at my heart than any other
rs | take up the work of Supcrin
tending the schools Of this city, !
should uuheSitntingly say that it
was the fact that %, 900 children of

school or are onI y receiving partial
instruction because of n lack Of
school facilities.
Because say this | must not be
taken rs meaning that want to see
less made of the high school. BY
all means LET rs do us much in every
grade of education rs we can. But
first Of all we need more of the
primary schools 1t is in them that
the children of the city are lifted
above the level of the unskilIcd
Inborcr and given an opportunity
to enter into fair competition with
others in the race Of life.
OF course, the more education n
child gets the better he is prepared
to make his way in the world, but
think we often fail to realize what
an immense service il done the
child by even three or four years
of schooling The difference be-
tween the child who has had it and
the child who has not had it is inn
mense, much greater than the diff
erence between the child who has
only finished the grammar work
and the one who has had high school
instruction also.

ter just rs strongly as possible. 1t
is terrible thing for children, en-
dowcd with the ability to learn, to
