WISE WORDS.

No man was ever so much deceived
by another as by himself.
judgement is not upon all occasions
required, but discretion always is
Perseverance is failing nineteen
times and succeeding the twentieth.
What We lack is not more talents, but
more purpose with those we have,
Industrious wisdom often doth pre-
vent what lazy folly thinks inevitable.
Moderate merns with contented
spirit are preferable to Millions without
if.
Activity is the law of all intellectual
life. The more you live In conformity
to that law, the happier you will be
Pleasure and enjoyment are good
enough in their place; but remember
that sobrietv and carnestness Of pur-
pose are our best posses ions.
Since the generality of persons act
from impulse much more than from
principle, men are neither so good nor
so bad as we are apt to think them.
A vulgar man is captious and jealo Us,
eager and impetuous about trliles.
He suspects himself to beslighted, and
storms will culminete about the LIST and
thinks everything that is said ment at
him.

TELEPHONE RATES.

Scorer or later, in the opinion of the
Boston Post, telephone companies will

State, like ether quasi-public corpora.
tions. A bill has been introduced in
the Massachusetts, Legislature fixing a
maximum charge for telephone service
in cities and towns, vary according to
population.
"This plan" observes the Post, els
simple, direct, and very much to the
point. The objection to it, which lies
on the surface, is that it is inelastc
and may be found inequitable in some
circumstance. But it would at least
bring about one of the results desired,
namely, reduction Of the excessive
rates. The significance of this propo.
sition cannot escape the notice Of the
teller hone companies, Some day bill
o. this sert will become Jaw. The
alternative Of submitting 10 State super
vision in accordance with the establish
ed policy of the Commonwealth is re-
jected by these corporations. If the
corporations persist in refusing super.
vision by State commission, the only
recourse of the people is to apply
regulation directly through acts of the
Legislature.

RUSSIA oUTwITs THE POWERS.
Secures PrOtectOrate Over Part Of
Manchuria by Agreement.

Secures PrOtectOrate Over Part of
Manchuria by Agreement.
The Pekin correspondent Of the London
Daily Mail wiring January 1, says:
Russia, by Cancellation, is trying to Sc
cure special advantages, and there is a
strong belief that she will receive Ameri-
can support. 1t is limited that Russia in
spired unfounded charges of barbarity
against the German troops, her motive be-
ing to SOW dissension between Great Brit
ain and Germany"
In a dispatch to the Times from Pekin,
dated December 81. DR.. Morrison gives the
text Of the Russo-Chinese agreement for
the Russian protection of the Manchurian
province of Fen Ting. Russia, he says,
consents that China shall resume the civil
government on he following conditions:
First-The Tartar general Tseng under
takes 20 protect and pacify the province,
and to assist in the construction OF the
railroad
Second-He must kindly treat, feed and
ledge Russians engaged in the military oc
cupation and in the protection of the rail-
way.
Third-He must dsarm and disband the
Chinese soldery, delivering TO the Russians
all munitions of war in such arsenals as
the Russians have not yet occupied.
Fourth-An forts. and defenses in the
province not occupied by the Russians and
all powder magazines not required by them
must be diSmantled in the presence OF Rus
sian officials.
F'ifth-Niu-Chwang and other places now
in Russian occupation shall be restored to
the Chinese civil administration when Rus
STA is satisfied that the pacification of the
province is complete.
Sixth-The Oh .nese shah maintain law and
order by local police, under Tartar gen.
eral.
Seventh-A Russian political resident,
with general powers Of control, shall be
stationed at Mukden, to whom the Tartar
general Tseng must give all information
respecting any important measure.
Eighth-1n the event of the local police
being insufficient for any emergency. Cen
eral Tseng will rotify the Russian resident
ard invite Russia to send reinforcements
Ninth-The Russian text shall be the
standard.
1.-The functions given the Russian resi-
dent says DR.. Morrison. ARE similar to
those of the Russian resident in Bokhara,
or those Of rhe British residents in the
native states of India
1.-The agreement will necessarily be fol-
lowed by similar agreements with refer
ence to the other two provinces. Then
Manchuria will be de facto a Russian pro-
tectorate, Russia, by pre-extsting ar
rangement, having already the right to
maintain all troops necessary for the pro-
lection of the railway"
Commenting unon the information trans
United by DR.. Morrison, the Times says:
''The problem raised Is very serious. The
agreement Is utterly irreconcilable with
Russia's professed attitude toward China,
and the assurances she has volunteered to
the powers. In fact, the situation contem-
plated by the Anglo-German agreement
seems definitely to confront us"
