The Russian Peasant.

1t is asserted by those who have
lived among them that the lowest
types of modern European civilization
are probably the Russians While
writers and travellers vary as to the
future of Russia nearly all are agreed
as to the utter degradation at present
of the Russian peasant. He is always
on the verge of starvation and is alb
sOlutely improvident, while his gross
and complete ignorance is combined
with the most eStravagant supersti-
ton. Like all low natures, he is thor
oughly distrustful of reform, and as 4
climax to his infirmities he is a con-
firmed drinker.
Middle class in Russia there is prac
tically none. The small shopkeeperS
combine eXorbitant charges with
shameful usury. Manufacturers and
producers are nearly all foreigners,
and the larger trade of the country is
chiefly in German hands. Education
may after the lapse OF several genera
tons remove the inherent dizziness OF
this people. but it will be no easy mat
ter to root out evils which are the
growth of centuries of serfdom and
distress.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Evidence Lacking.

In 1870 the contractors firm OF Com
stock & White was doing business at
Fort Wallace. In the course OF quar-
rel Comstock killed White. White
had a brother in New York, a lawyer,
who came out to visit the law upon
his brothers slayer. ComstOck was
arrested and brought before Judge
Joyce at Hays City. The prisoner
walked into the courtroom Judge
Joyce's saloom with two big six shoot
ers belted TO his hips.
"AIisther Comstock, We are charged
with ,willful murther. Are ye guilty
or not guilty?" asked the judge.
''Guilty!' was the laconic response.
This was entirely beyond Judge
Joyce's calculations. He had no prece-
dent for such case and no power or
inclination to visit out n penalty, and
so. with great Indignation, he shouted:
''Ye are fool for tellin it! Did any
wan see We do it,
NO" was the prisoners response.
Thin OF discharge We fer want of
ividence," declared his honor, and
oil the boys moved up to
the bar and took "sunthin" with Mr..
Comstock.

Organization is a common un-

determination on the part Of all
concerned, to do. The universe
is perfectly organized, that there
be no conflict between the plan
cts. Some of the astronomers
thought awhile back, that t h e
earth would collide with some of
the other planets and that our
little ball would be knocked into
smithereens. And that is the
way we would have gone, had
the conflict come; but perfect or
ganization preveted the COLLISION
and all was we'll. We have in
terests in this county which are
peculiarly our own; interests
which no body but ourselves
know how to protect = interests
which no body but ourselve
would protect if they knew how.
If we would be certain to pro-.
tect these interests, we must be
perfectly organized. To be so
organized we must thoroughly
understand each other, and be
fully determined to do as we un-
derstand we are to do. Boys,
