The Cars Problem.

From the London Spectator.
The recent decree of the Russian cmper-
or, with its rather vague, though distinctly
benevolent. promises, has been variously
interpreted, but there Is one meaning in it
which it is difficult to mistake. The car,
who probably hears more truth than 1T is
usual to imagine, is distinctly disturbed
about the condition of the peasantry. 1t is
tradition Of his house, and probably his
own conviction also, that the Russian au-
tocracy is a tripod resting upon three
sturdy legs-the army, the church and the
favor of the black folk" the huge mass
of the common people. who from the days
of the princedoms have looked to the cars
as their protectors from unbearable local
oppression. OF late years the church has
been strongly in the ascendant, and has
prosecuted the Jews, Stundists Old Be-
levers, and indeed, anybody it pleased;
and 1t Is therefore fairly obedient and con-
tented, though it might send out rousing
word through the villages If It's co-religion-
lists in Turkey were put down in the Ar
menfan fashion, and thus coerce the gov
eminent into unwilling action. OF the con-
diton of the army 1T is hard to obtain any
trustworthy account; but though there is
certainly some fretfulness under a long
peace, which stops promotion, and a power
full military party, which would prefer to
run risks rather than be Overcrowed BY
Germany. the cars fixed policy of peace
with Europe arouses in the barracks no
overt discomfort Among the common peo-
pie, however, who in their awful numbers,
and nearly unknown desires, are still some
thing of a mystery to their rulers-a

A NEW ENTERPRISE,
The Missouri Peer-Importing Com
pany.


From London Punch.
This company was formed to meet the
ever increasing demand for lords and noble
men In the state OF Missouri and L. 8. A.
generally.
Absolutely no risk run by our customers!
Ladies dealing with us are assured of fair
treatment and prompt delivery.
Without fear of contradiction we affirm
that our peers are superior in rank and
pedigree and in position in their own coun-
tries to any nobleman now on the market.
Our stock of British dukes is the finest
in the world, and at the Missouri exhibition
we were awarded the gold medal for this
rare and beautiful type of goods.
A choice selection OF belted earls is al
ways on view in our showrooms.
We highly recommend our "B B. B." or
British baron brand. These may be had in
three styles-Engish, Irish or Scotch. We
do large business in these goods with peo-
pie who like a good article, but cannot
afford the more costly brands AS, how
ever, the supply is limited, customers are
advised to purchase early.
We have a very cheap line in French
counts which we are offering at prices to
suit the smallest purse.
We beg leave to observe that the lowest
price peers-such, for instance, as Polish
counts-we do not stock. as in very few
cases have they been found satisfactory.
We venture to urge upon our clients the ad-
visibility of paying a somewhat higher
price and insuring quality.
Peers delivered to any address in the U.
S. A free of duty and carriage paid.
The following are samples of the testi-
monials which we are receiving daily:

o Soft Spring Airs!

Come up. come up. o soft Spring airs,
Come from your silver shining seas,
Where all day long you toss the wave
About the low and palm-plumed keys!
Forsake the spicy lemon groves,
The balms and olives of the South,
And blow across the longing land
The breath Of your delicious mouth.
Come from the almond bough you stu.
The myrtle thicket where you sigh;
Oh, leave the nightingale, for here
The robin whistles far and nigh!
For here the violet in the wood
Thrills with the fuilness you shall take.
And wrapped away from life and love.
The wild rose dreams and fam would wahA
For here in reed and rush and grass,
And tiptoe I'm the dusk and dew,
Each sod Of the brown earth aspires
To meet the sun-the sun and you!
Then come o fresh Spring airs! Once meoo
Create the old delightful things,
And WOO the frozen world again
With hints OF heaven upon your wingsl

ing portrait of Miss Leila Morse which
is uncommonly picturesque and attractive.
1t is more than a three-quarter length and

gown of rich corn-color silk deliberately
trimmed with white lace. and is seen
against a background of light. opalescent
gray. The head is well constructed and
the color and expression are excellent In
fortunately, however. Miss Morse was
obliged to leave the city before the work
was completed, so that with only the upper
portion finished, it must be set aside indef-
nitely. This is specially regrettable, as that
portion which was completed was most ad-
mirable and in the whole there was I'M

ARMY OFFICER EXONERATED,
Mai. Ayers Condemned for Making
U~nfOunded md Improper Asser-
lions Against u Brother Oficer.

Leavenworth, Kas., Jan. 5.-The
court of inquiry appointed by Maj.
Gen.John c. Bates, commander of the
department of the Missouri, to inves-
tigate certain allegations and charges
against Capt. Malvern-Hill Barnum,
Eighth cavalry, has completed a re-
port entirely generating Capt. Bar
mum. In addition to approving the
findings of the board, Maj.-Gen. Bates
condemns Maj. Ayers for making I'M
founded and improper assertions, and
says his action is highly unmilitary
and harmful to the service.
The trouble arose during the fall
maneuvers at Fort Riley, when Mai.
Ayers was commanding the Eighth
cavalry squadron with which Capt.
Barnum was serving. The charges
concerned the issue of passes, and on
passing upon them the court says:
1.-THE court is of the opinion that
Maj. Ayers in making these asser-
lions was hasty and incorporate, and
while not imputing to him any inten.
ton of making a false statement, the
assertions made and reiterated by
him were misleading, inaccurate and
unwarranted,"

says the Pittsburg Bulletin, as he
drew from his pocketbook a small
sheet of note-paper.
Il sent the boy a toy monkey, that
plays all kinds of FRANKS when it's
wound up" said he, chuckling.
"Sent it to him for his birthday.
Now you listen to this letter Of

just eight years old.

THE REBELLION IN MOROCCO.
h Pretender Has Lost Prestige,
ii the Sultan Is Preparing to
Crush the Rebellion.

Tangier, Morocco, Jan. 5.-Accord-
lug to official news received here from
Eez, the adroit move of the sultan in
bringing his brother, Mulai-Mo-
manned, to the capital has attained
the desired object of depriving the
Iretender to the throne of his pres
tjge, and the latter has retired, dis
credited, to Taxa. He has been de-
serted by a number of the local
tribes, who dispersed to make sure of
their booty. Buhamara, the pretend
er, having claimed the intention Of
a%nthroning Mulai-Mohammed, his re-
hellion has no longer any reason to
continue, as the sultan has publicly
reconciled himself with his brother,
and Mulai-Mohammed has made a
solemn entry into Fez acclaimed by
the populace.
All immediate danger has disap-
peared. The routes from Fee to the
coast are open.

TRAFFIC ALL TIED UP.
The Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Railroads Tied Up by WASH
outs and Landslides.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 5.-There was
nothing doing on the Northern Pacific
Sunday, not a train leaving the city,
and the railroad officials are unable
to make any definite statement as to
thief uGure. The chinook still prevails
and water is pouring down the Cas-
cades in torrents. At Martin, on the
east side of the tunnel, there is a
washout of nearly three hundred feet,
while several places between the tun-
mel and Ellepsburg are under water.
To sum up the difficulty the North
ern Pacific is now struggling with,
there are five washouts on the main
line between Castle Rock and Kelso.
There are innumerable slides all the
way from Cosmopolis to the terminus
on the Gray's Harbor branch. The
Auburn cutoff is under water for
n mile. Nearly q mile Of track is
gone in one place on Green river.
Five or six other mine washouts are
reported between Lester and Palmer.
The big washout at Martin is followed
by a succession of washouts and land
slides all the way to ~Elleushnrg. The
South Bend branch is under water
and covered with slides from Willapa-
pot terminus. The company has two
passenger trains tied up at haywood
and are taking the best care possible
of the passengers.
There are slides ahead and wash
outs behind, and arrangements are
made to get supplies to trains. There
is no way to get the passengers out
at present, owing to the washing out
Of all the road bridges in that sec
ton. Not a county road can be fol-
lowed a single mile in any direction.
One passenger train is bound up at
Lester, where the passengers are also
being cared for by the railroad.
No communication is possible either
way until the water shall have abated.
The Great Northern is in an exact
ly similar predicament. The first eff.
fects of the chinook we're to again
carry away the bridge at Meadows
creek. Trains were then directed
over the Northern Pacific, but before
they could be dispatched east the
Northern Pacific also was blocked. as
stated.

LAUGH 1T AWAY.

Don't put on your far-off glasses hunting
lions in the way;
Don't go probing round for troubles
just ignore them, day by day.
Don't go signing: Eyes. tits pleasant just
at present, but-ah, me!
There's the sorrow of to-morrow-where
will all our sunshine be?'
II the worst is in the future and has been
there all the while,
We can keep it there by laughing till we
make the others smile.
II the worst is in the future; let it stay
there for we know
Tha to-morrow"s always threatening to
bring us so-and-so;
But tomorrow with it's sorrow never
comes within our gaze,
For all lime is just a pageant of these
busy old to-days.
Let the worst stay in the future where 1t
has been all the while!
We can keep it there by laughing I'LL
the others start to smile.
When we look toward the sunset In the
gorgeous afterglow,
Let us thank the blessed Father for the
things we do not know;
Let us thank Him with all fervency that
He has never sent
Any burden quite un~bearable; that while
our lacks lave bent
Underneath the load. we've had His arms
about us all the while
Let us laugh away our troubles till the
whole world wears a smile!
Let US laugh away the trouble though
our eyes are dimmed with tears;
Let us laugh away the heartaches and
the worries and the fears;
Just "be good and you'll be happy"-if
you're happy, you'll be good;
For the rules SO double-acting that it's
seldom understood.
o, there is no future coming with a lot
of trouble n
We can fight it off by laughing till the
others start to grin!
