His work was in this world. and he knew nothing of the next world.
 The Greek Church at last tired of such independence. and it has decided to excom- municate him. Excommunieatlon will not arter in the least the course of thought in Tolstois mind except possibly to stiffen his convictions, and 1t may not hurt the Greek Church. although Tolstoi is by far its brainiest and widest known member, for he stands head and shoulders above all Russian writers and thinkers of this or any other age. Henry Norman in scribner's says that his patriotism and his dream are: No more nations and frontiers, but the world no more multitudinous cities, and manufactures, and money but simply the tiller of the soil, eating of the fruit of his toll, exchanging with his neighhor the labor of his hands, and finding in the changing round of natural processes alike the nourishment of his body and the de- light of his eyes, while, like some direct ing angel poised above, the law of love, revealed in Christ, lights each mans path, and so illumes the world" He is in fact dreamer, and communication cannot af- feet a dreamer

Price in Silver Bullion.

There is no diminution in the product of silver either from siver-bearing ores, or from the smeiting of copper or other ores This production is largely in this country, which long has been the chief silver-pro- ducing country of the world.
 The price of silver in New York fell at one time to 47 cents an ounce, and it has risen steadily until it is now worth in New York about 6 cents. The metal is in sharp demand in London both on account of China and India. It is purchased in Lon- don for coinage purposes. On account of the disturbed condition of China it has be- come necessary to ship silver in payment for exports in the absence of exchange.
 But India refuses to accept a gold curren- cy, and it is each year absorbing more and more silver. Between India and China it is believed the price of silver will continue to rise, or will be at least maintained When the hints of India were closed to the free coinage of silver hoarded rupees came out freely. there being a difference between the currency value of the rupee and its intrinsic value. The natives turn- ed loose rupees and bought bar silver The Indian government later released large amounts of silver rupees, and now the gov-- ernment is obliged to buy silver in the market for coinage. If India's require ments for silver continues to grow, the price of bar silver will continue to rise. especially when China Is reopened to the trade of the world. The rejected metal may yet regain its old place in the mar kets of the world. The stone that the builders rejected may become the stone of the corner.

Exc0mmunication of ToIsti.

Accommodations and heresy trials are scarcely In keeping with period that &C., cepts liberty of thought and liberty of re- heaven; but there fingers here and there relics of outworn methods and dead past The Greek Church prides itself on it's con- servatism, which, being interpreted, means an adherence to cast-fron rules regardless of the growth of knowledge and opinion concerning them. Right or wrong these rules must be maintained.
 Count Tolstoi was born into the Greek Church, but he has no respect whatever for its conservatism. In his active brain are many dreams for the betterment of the world He is social iconoelast, and ever has been. He worships no early-cen- tury idols. He believes in up-to-date idols, and even these he considers subject to change.
 For a long time the great novelist aban- doned all belief, but after a while he ex- perieneed a mental and spiritual reaction He began to think that a thing could be contrary to reason and yet be right and true. Mans own life, for example. He again embraced the Christian faith, all though he could not bring 1t within req son within his own mind. but he remained as ever . social ieonoclast. He re-accepted the church he had always been accustomed to. but rejected its conservatism. He sought the good of this world. leaving the next world to speculation and uncertainty.

In twelve years only since the immigra- come over than came in the last fiscal year. A still larger inflow is expected in the present fiscal year. The figures of 1891 will certainly be surpassed, and even those of 1892 reached
 These immigration figures go long ways towards explaining the growths of North ern towns. As rule Northern towns have outsrown Southern towns and this is due in part at least to the incoming stream of immigrants; very few come to Southern towns. on account of color prejudice.
 Each year more and more people are coming from Southern Italy, Hungary and Poland. Southern Italy leads the list with S2,289, followed in order by Hebrews, A. 52O; Poles, 6ss5; Sovacs, 25,ss2; Irish, 25,- 200, and Germans 23,3s2; Scandinavians, 22- S47. Italy, Russia and Hungary furnish fully one-half of the immigrants of the fiscal year. They have done so for several years, and doubtless will continue to do so in many years to come. All feel that Slovacs, Poles and Latins cannot be assim- Hated so easily as Germans and Scandi- navians and Irish and Films be, but still the task is not formidable one as yet except in few localities in New York and Pennsylvania.

Some Fiqures of the Next House.

Business men in all States are coming to think that Democratic House and Re- publican Senate will serve to keep each oth- CT from doing mischief to the Republic, and a considerable number of independent Re- publicans will for that reason vote for Democratic nominees for Congress, al- though they will vote for Mckinley cleo tors. This tendency is troubling the Re- publicans, and they are striving to over come it. The Hanna-Payne subsidy steal and other schemes are involved in the con- test.
 It is believed that the Democrats will at any rate gain two members in Kentucky, one in Missouri, three in North Carolina, one in Alabama, one in Texas, one in Iowa, two in Illinois, and two in Indiana Here are gains of thirteen members, or enough to give the Democrats control of the House. But the Democrats may lose two seats in Massachusetts, one in Pennsylvania, and one each in Nebraska and Kansas-leayfng the net gain but eight seats. This would leave the control of the House very much in douht and very close.
 About thirty days of the campaign remain in which work can be accomplished, and many close Congressional districts may be made to turn the one way or the other. But as long as independents prefer to off- set Republican Senate with Democratic house, we do not see much chance for Re- publican gains, unless indeed MT. Hanna's cations are that he has his hands full in his efforts to re-elect MT Mckinley, and will not for that reason give particular at tention to the election of Republican Repre- sentatives.

FROM 1.-THE FUTURE

By Matthew Arnold. A wanderer is man from his birth. He was born in a ship On the breast of the river of Time; Brimn1ing with wonder and joy He spreads out his arms to the light, Rivets his gaze on the banks of the stream. This tract which the river of Time Now flows through with us is the plain. Gone is the calm of its earher shore. Bordered by cities and hoarse With thousand cries is it's stream. And we on its breast, our minds Are confused as the cries which we hear, Changing and short as the sights which
 we see. And we say that repose has fled For ever the course of the river of Time. That cities will crowd to its edge In a blaclzer. incessantef line; That the din will be more on its banks, Denser the trade on its stream, Platter the plain where it flows, Fiereer the sun overhead. That never will those on it's breast See an ennobling sight, Drink of the feeling of quiet again. But what was before us we know not. And we know not what shall succeed. Haply, the. river of Time As it grows as the towns on its marge Fling their wavering lights On a wider, statelier stream May acquire. if not calm Of it's early mountainous shore, Yet solemn peace of its own. And the width of the waters. the hush Of the gray expanse where he floats, Freshening its current and spotted with
 foam
 As it draws to the ocean, may strike Peace to the soul of the man on it's breast As the pale waste widens around him, As the banks fade dimmer away. As the stars come out. and the night wind Brings up the stream Murmurs and scents of the infinite sea.

W eekly Crop Report

Washington, October a.-The Weather Bureaus weekly summary of crops con- dition says:
 Rain is generally needed in the South Atlantic and east Gulf states and over por- tions of the upper Ohio Valley, lower Lake region and middle Atlantic states, while excessive moisture. due largely to the rains of the previous week, retarded form work over the region from Arkansas and Oklahoma northward to Minnesota and the Dakotas. Except where interrupted by rains in portions of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri cotton picking has progress ed under exceptionally favorable conditions and is unusually well advanced. In the west and eastern portions of the cotton belt the bulk of the crop is gathered by October 10. Picking Is progressing rapidly in Texas, except in the lower Brazos bot toms inundated by the rains of the pre- vious week, where the crop is almost a failure.
