Sloane bought piece along the side

Capt. Hopkins was in command of

That every reform, to be permanent,
must come from within and be the
outgrowth of the advance of the whole
mass of the people is clearly shown by
several circumstances of Russian his
tory-for example, by the results of
the reforms which Alexander Ii. es-
tablshed in the early part of his reign,
a period that is described as the
golden age of liberalism" Radical
nihilist classes, taking advantage of
the cars generosity to force further
reforms for which the country was
not ready, began a campaign against
the established order of things that
resulted in attempts to take the cars
life. The ear retaliated by sweeping
away some of the reforms he had in
stituted. The great mass of peasants
were not radical, yet they suffered
from the reaction. So far as they were
concerned the car gave and the car
took away. The age of liberalism,
though many of its reforms lasted
and the moral effect of all of them re-
manned. was nevertheless an expert
ment from without. and therefore did
not have the sweeping significance
which would have attended the same
reforms had they resulted from the
advanced demands of the whole peo-
pie.
Yet the general cause of liberty vs..
autocracy has advanced in Russia in
spite of the fact that the impatient
few have committed indiscretions in
stead of waiting until slow education

posed to erect memorial building for
parish purposes, and in tomb which
is somehow to be combined with it
to RENTER the remains of Mr.. Beecher,
brought for the purpose to Brooklyn.
The list of leading subscribers for the
project carries the mind strangely
back to the old days when every Sun
day morning the ferry boats from
New York dropped at the foot of Full
ton street hundreds of people who
climbed the steep hill to Columbia
Heights on their way TO Beecher's
church. The little hill is so steep
that wagons seldom climb it; grass
now grows between the stones, and it
is lined on both sides by gloomy tene-
ments until at the top the character
of the street suddenly changes, and
we come to the Brooklyn that Beecher
loved.
The statue of Beecher in front of
Brooklyn Borough hall, contemptu-
ously turning its back upon the APP
preaching pilgrim and gazing at the
old aldermanic chamber, is one of
the city's chief art treasures, an adj
mirable portrait. The new memorial
will doubtless flower into some equal
