The attempt of the Russian govern
ment to adopt in that country the Gre
gorian calendar, which is in use in
nearly all the rest of the civilized
world, has failed. The reason given
is that It has been found impossible
to establish an agreement between the
dates OF religious festivals appearing
in both the Julian and the Gregorian
calendars, That is to say. the people
want to keep on celebrating Christmas
and Easter and the other days on ex-
actly the same dates as at present, and
will not be reconciled to a change. Yet
precisely such a change was made in
the English-speaking world a century
and a half ago, when the calendar was
shifted twelve days, and what had been
Christmas became Twelfth-day There
were popular protests against it, and
in England not a few riots. But the
authorities insisted upon the reform,
and It was effected. It seems strange
for the supposedly despotc Russian
government to show itself more sensi-
tive to popular preiudices than were
the British and American government.

ST. Paul. March 2i.-Therc is strong
reason IL believe that the state RAILROAD
commission and the lines penetrating
Southwestern Minnesota will agree on
an adjustment of rates which shall dis
pose of further hearing in the proposed
reduction. The terms of the compro-
mise have not Vt been made public. but
the overtures from the roads and the
uncertainty aS TO the outcome of legal
contest have resulted IN the commission
issuing the following statement regard.
ing the matter:
Informal conferences between traffic
managers and the railroad commission
have been held with view Of getting
together on the wheat and flax rate
question from southwestern Minnesota
to St. Paul and Minneapolis. In view
Of the attitude of the railroads in this
matter, as developed at these confer.
erces, it is not improbable that an
agreement NAV be reached. The roads.
however, require some time To prepare
the new schedules. and the commission
will require several days to examine the
same when submitted. and for these
reasons the hearing fixed for March %
will be postponed till some later date.

is acceptable, indefinitely"
