SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY.

War is war, and it appears that the United States isn't making war in the Philippines with unusual mildness. Guy Williams of the Iowa regiment wrote letter to his brother in Blfrling- ton, Iowa, which is published by the HaWk-Eye. In this letter he says: We marched about seven miles through the sand and went into camp for the night in little bamboo village. The people had deserted the houses and left every thing they had, and the soldiers made short work of the whole thing They footed every house and found almost everything from pair of wooden shoes up to a piano, and they carried every thing off or destroyed it. I did not get anything of much account The other companies had got ahead of us Talk of the natives plundering the towns; I don't think they are in it with the Eff tieth Iowa.
 Well, if United States troops can lick the half-civiized Filipinos and then give them points in plundering 1t shows that the United States troops are su- perior to the Filipinos in every way, doesn't it?

------ ----------- ---------------- THE FAMINE IN RVSST.t

Russia has much power and glory. but she also has other things that are I not splendid. According to recently
 published appeal of the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom, the pres- ent famine in ten provinces in the re- zion of the river Volga is one of the
 worst on record. Not only have the
 spring and winter sowings of grain per- ished in most localities, but also vege-
 tables and grass. Last year 35,O00, 900 of rubles were assigned by the govern ment for supplying the furnishing pop
 ulation with seed, bread and fodder, but four provinces were left practically unprovided for. Since then the needs of the population have increased More over, the official allowances of thirty five pounds of grain per month are giv- en only to non-adults from two to eighteen and to adults from fifty-five fact, all ages are starving. The Red Cross Society says that at least twenty
 three per cent of the sufferers have no prospect of getting official assistance. and must either be maintained by pri- vate charity or die Scurvy and ty- phus have already broken out in the kazan, Samara, Oufa and Voronezh provinces, while the children are dying at a fearful rate simply from exllaus-

The dress was white organdie over pink silk, trimmed in the skirt with zig-zags of gathered pink satin ribbon, and on the gathered bodice with bands of rib bon gathered into single knot. To accompany this there was a hat of gathered white tulle trimmed with an alsatian bow of the ribbon and with a tall cluster of white blossoms.

 sents the appearance of a black, dry stuff, very like lump of dried-up black earth. In taste it is very acid i; when masticated it changes in your mouth into some powder-like mass of disagreeable taste and looking abso- lutely like earth.

Leaves of raspberry bushes are being boiled like tea, and this decoction, unwhole- some in every way, is being consumed with avidity." A village elder in the Oufa province thus describes the unfor- tunate peasants of his volost: "A great many have sold-for the purpose of getting some food-absolutely every thing, even the most necessary house. hold things, such as their last pillow or garb.

THE INVITED DEMOCRdCY.

John P. Altgeld is going to have a
 faction in the next presidential contest
 if he can manage it, and he thinks he
 can He is much disgusted with the
 Harrison Democrats, who announce that
 they are going to try to shelve Altgeld before the next national convention. Af-
 ter the election which made Harrison
 the happy mayor of Chicago for the
 second time Altgeld said in an impas-
 stoned address to his faithful followers: We must maintain our lines for the bat
 ties that are to come. Harrison and
 Croker are forming an alliance that will
 unite the Chicago city hall and Tam
 many Hall under a common flag. Crok-
 CT will be kept in the background as
 matter of form, but his will be the guid- ing hand of the combination. Our duty | is plain. We must keep our flag flying and fight for the eternal principles of Democracy which united us in the skr- I mish that has just. been finished Now l is the time to take active steps to pro- | tect ourselves from the plots of the ene- my. You will see some awful high strutting in the city hall during the next year. Small men always strut. Strut ting, however will not settle the great questions to be submitted to the people again next year, questions which must
 succeed if the republic we all love is to work They have captured the mayor of Milwaukee, and think they have our own mayor. They hope to steal the convention next year, but I believe that
 the Democratic party will not permit them to do so
 The eternal principles of Democracy which Altgeld will continue to fight for are to be found in the Chicago plat form, and the most "eternal' principle of the lot is 16 to 1. His faction will call itself "The Chicago Platform De- mocracy." The Hartford Times thinks tlldL lHG ulVlSlOn III IlllnO1S IS important because it is prototype of what we are likely to see in half the States of the Union-that is an open division between the hick-and-thin advocates of coin- age-debasement and the more conserva- tive men who voted for Bryan and 16 to in 1896 under protest, but who do not intend to swallow the 16 to 1 business again if they can avoid it. As things are going now, says the Times, we seem likely to have not two Democratic na- tional organizations in 1900, but three of them, and as many Democratic can- | didates for the Presidency as we had in | 1860. And the Times asks: Will the | great Republican party be able to re- main united in the face of such a frag- mentary opposition as Bryanism will then have produced? The indications now are that it will

 My attention has been called to the comments of W. Trueman in your issue of April on my communication in your issue of March 31st. He says: T pointed out to MT Davies, in my letter of March 11th, that the large majority of those attending church were either unemployed or were only getting just enough to enable them to be em- ployed."
 This would be an exceedingly inn portant piece of information if it were true; but it is not true, as those ac- quainted with the constituency of our Congregational churches know MT. Trueman obviously has a lively imag- nation, and he draws freely on it's fig- ments for his facts. The saddest con-

A Need of Left Over Pieces.

It will be pleasing to many women to learn that some summer hats are to match gowns-to be actually made of the same material. An example of this was so pretty as to lead to the belief that the fancy is to prevail generally. It was a lowered dimity, with skirt close i'll apron-overdress cut to the knees, and f1aring in a perfect wonder of shaped frills below.

fession our Congregational churches
 have had to make during the last quarter of a century and more is the fact that "the masses" that is to say, laborers, mechanics, clerks, rail-
 road men. etc, have foresaken them, and refuse to return. No question re- ceives more frequent and earnest con- sideration in our conference and asso- ciational gatherings than this one, 1 How to reach the masses" 9 per- l fectly absurd question if MT. Trueman's statement were anything but an imag
 mary fignlent.
 He inveighs against those teachers who have devoted themselves to the speciality of teaching us how to die" i If there are such teachers they deserve his criticism; but I question their eX- istence; they, too, are probably only | the Elusive creations of his own imag- ination. I listened to two sermons Sun day by two clergymen in this city. Neither of them had any suggestion to make us on the subject of dying, but both labored earnestly to instruct us how to live. I doubt if any other kind of sermons were heard in this city Sun day. I am ready to testify, in court if necessary, that I have never heard sermon in the state of Connecticut that was not intended to help men to live better lives
 MT. Trueman invites me to tell him "how we are to get the approximate equality in respect to culture and wealth" which | claim to be indispen- able to the highest form of human goodness and happiness in this world. The necessary limitations of a newspa. per communication like this will not permit me to comply with his request beyond quoting for his benefit very ancient rule for true living which is backed by the very highest authority viz: Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God" It is quite probable that this answer will not be to MT. Trueman's mind, for if I read the sub-meaning of his communications correctly, he has some sort of economic panacea which he thinks would effect ually cure the sorest and most obsti- nate ills of the race. Out with it's full name, brother We can stand it. and some of us may even be glad to endorse it as a valuable economic alternative albeit our natural skepticism makes it as impossible for us to endorse it as an economic panacea as it is for us to en- dorse Humphreys sugar-pil specific for corns.

A FAMOUS BLUNDERER.

| M. Calino, the popular French simple | ton, who performs in the humorous lite rature of France much the same func- tion that the traditional Paddy does in English literature, has been made the subject of grave study, in which his innocent stupidities are carefully ana convenient personification of type of the harmless blunderer and complacent lackwit found in all ages and countries. In France his sayings reflect, however, something of the picturesqueness which is characteristic of the nation.
 Calino's blunderings, it seems, began at an early age. He had not craft enough to tell lie that would hold wa ter for moment. One day at school he got into q fight with companion, and came home with gash on his forehead. Flow did you get that cut?" asked his father.

 Early one morning when Calino was out with his gun, he saw robin in the garden of his friend Camille. He aimed at it, but it dropped below the top of the wall. Then Calino went into the house, crept up stairs softly, stole into Ca miles bedroom without waking Ca- mille, who was in bed, pointed hia gun out of the window at the robin and fired -bang
