3URBULENT USSIAS STUDENTS.

The students in this country, and es- pecally those in New Haven have been pretty quiet lately, but Russian stu dents have been making considerable disturbance. The demonstration of stu dents in the theatre of the Peoples Pal ace in St Petersburg on the anniver sary of the foundation of the university amounted to a riot. The students were present in great force but they were hopelessly routed by the large body of police and dvorniks which had been as sembled in expectation of some disturb ance. and a good many of them were seriously hurt It appears that the stu dents, instead of leaving the building at the close of the performance, began to throw seditious pamphlets from the gal lery, to cry Down with the Emperor" and generally to create uproar. The police and dvorniks thereupon began to pummel them The dvorniks are the night watchmen, of whom two or three are attached to every house. In addi- ton to their regular duties they act as spies and are frequently employed as auxiliary policemen. It is said that af- ter being expelled from the theatre the students attempted to make their way to the Winter Palace in order to repeat their demonstration, but were dispersed by Cossacks. It is reported that sev- enty students and two hundred work men were arrested, but the stories of the affair are contradictory. At Kieff, where the students have also been trou- blesome, the most energetic regulations have been issued, Among other things it is proclaimed that presence in the streets during rioting will render even an innocent person liable to three months imprisonment.

4 SAD SETBACK TO 4 GREET CA USE
 This doesn't seem to be a, good year for Reform. The advocates of woman suffrage are much cast down by the treatment their cause got in the lower house of the Iowa legislature the other day. Two years ago a resolution to amend the constitution of the State so as to permit women to vote lacked but one vote of a constitutional majority in the Iowa house. This stimulated the suffragists to greater zeal, and after a two years campaign they were hopeful of victory in the present legislature. In anticipation of favorable vote the house was filled with the friends of equal suffrage only to witness the re- lection of their measure without cere- mony or speech making. The vote stood 56 to 3S.
 This is certainly an unkind cut, Usu- ally the tyrant Man acting as Legislator allows talk when the persistent plea for woman suffrage is made. He is not un- willing to have it said that if Woman really wants the ballot she ought to have it. and he is also willing to say and hear all kinds of pretty things about the better half of humanity Then when the talk is all out and over Woman go to the rear and sit down where she has been for many and long centuries sitting. To dispose of woman suffrage without talk is unusual. Can it be that the Iowa legislators were afraid of argument?

THE DIRECT WAY.

Occasionally some smooth politician who is seeking popularity and votes will modestly make a generous eontri- button to some religious or charitable work. He doesn't let his left hand know what his right hand does in the matter, but his supporters let all hands know, and his generosity is put con spicuously forward as one of the req sons who he should have what he wants. This is the indirect way. A candidate for clerk of Davidson county Tennessee, has taken the direct way He has promised to pay church debt of $4,000 if he gets the nomination. The money is deposited as an evidence of good faith, and the congregation is said to be working hard among the voters.
 The direct way looks little queer at first sight, but some things can be said in its favor. There is no hypocrisy about it, and the candidate doesn't lose his money if he doesn't get the nomina- ton. Some politicians have had bitter reflections after giving money to the Lord and receiving no help from Him in their schemes.
