s0MEsLY UssIAN AGENTS.

: Russia means to know what is going on and she is not over-scrupulous in her ways of finding out Some of the performances of the Russian secret police in Europe have recently leaked out. A Russian agent named Weisman was not long ago arrested in Bulgaria, on the charge of giving out false in formation to foreign newspapers, this consisting in statement that Prince Alexander had fled from Bulgaria as the result of a threatened military pro- nunciamento. Discovering the author ity for this false report, Weisman was arrested by the Bulgarian police, and his papers and documents seized and examined by them. By these it was made evident that he had considered it
 a part of his duty as a Russian agent to do what he could to undermine the
 influence of those officials who were be-
 lieved to be inimical to Russian inter
 ests. But it was also found that, while
 thus acting as the paid agent of Rus
 sia, he was in receipt of money from
 King Alexander of Servia, from the
 Sultan of Turkey, and even from the
 police agents of Austria. The exposure
 of these facts forced the government
 of Russia to accept without demur the expulsion oe Weisman from Bulgaria. Another somewhat similar case has
 been the expulsion from Switzerland of another police agent, Rabinovitch, who, not content with entering and stealng from the houses of Russian exiles in that republic such papers and docu- ments as he could lay his hands upon, proposed to two of the Swiss letter carriers to pay them f.2400 year, pro vided they would give him letters that l came into their hands for delivery ad- dressed to certain Russians whom he would indicate. These letter carriers Ireported this offer to the postoffice au- lthorities, the result being that Rabino- witch was immediately ordered to leave
 the country.
 | Perhaps there are other governments Isome of whose secret service, if re- vealed, would not look any better than
 these Russian incidents co Secret ser vice men, except in the United States
 are not always men of honor.

 Indeed, MT. Morley's treatment of the
 home life of his subject is one of the
 most admirable features of the whole
 book. Enough Is told to suggest do-
 nestle interior of rare kindliness and
 charm, but any newspaper reporter
 would lose his post if he came back
 from an interview with so meagre a
 supply of personal details. Readers of
 the illustrated press during the last
 years of Mir. Gladstone's life will be
 amazed to learn that the biography
 does not contain even a single mention
 of Dorothy DregA Perhaps in this the
 exclusion was unduly severe, for the
 pictures of the old man with his little
 granddaughter on his knee appealed to
 a sentiment that was far from maudlin, and in addition to their intrinsic inter-
 est were of value as revealing tender
 ness of disposition not always found in combination with so dominant a strength.
 It is scarcely less surprising to find
 how little is related of MT. Gladstone's |chidren. MT. Herbert Gladstone's en- trance into Parliament is, of course, mo-
 ted; but such notice was inevitable be- cause of it's connection with his fathers election for Leeds. Of his subsequent appointment as a member of the gov eFnment and his service as Liberal whip absolutely nothing is told. If the index may be trusted-and a remark ably elaborate index it is-the biograph lis entirely silent concerning MT. Glad stones eldest daughter, although she was for many years principal of Newnhan college, Cambridge, and has in other ways gained distinction for her contributions to educational progress. With a discretion none too common ill biographies, MT, Morley everywhere re- members that he is writing life of William EWart Gladstone and not a history Of the Gladstone family. This reserve, again, while occasionally dis appointing, is a wholesome protest against the tendency to claim as the possession of the public not only states linen themselves, but all their kith and Ikin.-Herbert w.

The committee of the Berlin town council in charge of the primary schools has taken a novel decision with regard to school decoration. The proposal is to spend 10000 marks every year for eight years, with the object of painting fres- coes on the walls of classrooms and cor riders. These pictures will be simple in character and will represent for the most part scenes in German history. Before, however, this is carried out, ex- periments will be made in three select ed schools.

Canyas-back ducks are said to have largely abandoned Chesapeake bay be- cause of the destruction of the particu- lar plant on which they liked to feed. They have also deserted the waters near Portland, Oregon, and there the cause is said to be the same in kind, although the plant destroyed is different. At Portland it was the wapato which at- tracted the ducks, and it was destroyed by what writer out there calls the "in- troduction of the useless carp into the waters of the Columbia and Willi- mette.'

Dr. Yamel Kin, whose medical degree is said to be the first ever conferred upon Chinese woman in this country, talked to the members of the Boston Twentieth Century Club last Saturday. She told them they were too nervous, too unstable, too impossible, too stren- uous. You have adopted your religion from the outside" she said. You have never been able to discover the truth or make a religion for yourselves. We do not take the trouble to talk contin- ually of the reality of souls as you do but we do say there is a hereafter, and instead of spending our time in long arguments and endless discussions we have for our main thought the culture of the human soul. Our idea of religion is cultivating the purity and strength of the soul"

Japan's greatest warrior is General Viscount Katsura, who became prime minister of the country two years ago. The viscount, who has been called the Lord Roberts of Japan, began his mili- tary career in 1867, during the civil war which overthrow the old order of things and resulted in the adoption of western civilization. He was a lieutenant then and so good was his record that at the conclusion of the war the government sent him to Germany to study military affairs. Then he returned home and re- modelled the Japanese soldiery on the European plan. Now, he says, the sol- diers of his country are fit to go against those of any other.

A COMPARISON of the visible wheat
supply for the four years ending
Nov. 26th may be of interest to oul
readers. The statistics, as given in
the Market Record, show that onthat
day in 1904 there we're 81, $685. ,00C
bushels, against 30,l40,000 bushels
in 1908. While the visible supply
on that date this year exceeds that
of year ago, such a condition has
only existed since the 8th day ol
October. At all times earlier in 1908
the visible supply exceeded that o.
the present year by from a few
thousand bushels up to trihe over
100000 bushels on the End day o
January 1908. The excess of this
year over that of last year on the
26th Of November is probably ac'
counted for by the fact that the price
has been on a considerably higher
level this year, which has largely
prohibited the export business, alst
the fact that much of the visible il
of poorer grade than usual. Foriegr
demand has been drawing on other
countries where the price and quality
seemed more attractive. Asa matter
of fact, we have already imported
some wheat from Canada for milling
purposes. From the talk of milleri
we should Judge that the present
visible did not contain as much houl
as that of last year. The latter part
Of last week witnessed a recovery ol
much of the drop in price of wheat
which occurred earlier in the week
and commission men were arguing
higher prices for the future. Droutf
in the winter wheat section was
another cause of the upward move
ment.'

representatives Mr. Carroll was a
candidate two years ago and had a

THIRTEEN killed and 296 seriously
wounded is the football record for
1904. Already these statistics have
given rise to much talk of prohibit.
ing the brutal game by legislation.
The INDEPENDENT favored such legis-
lation at one time, but we do not
favor it now. Bull fights and prize
fights are prohibited by law, but still
they occur because the sentiment of
the people is not behind the law the
people do not want the sports stop
ped. Ii would be the same with foot
ball. The great majority of our college
presidents favor the game, and while
those who pretend to have the shap-
ing of the morals and culture of the
rising generation are in favor of the
game, what can you expect of
mass of peoples Of course, the pro
hibiting of prize fights and bull
fights on moral grounds, and the en-
thusiasm for football at the same
time is inconsistent. One is as good
and no better than the other, except
that the loss of life in the two first
mentioned is nothing compared with
the loss of life in football. The diff
ference is all in the mind; the senti-
ment of the people will allow man
to attend football when he would be
ostracized from his set in society if
he attended the exhibitions of the
manly art oss prize fighting Better
than legislation by far would be an
agreement among our college pres
idents to no longer allow the game
in their institutions.

The tariff reform agitation was no
small, although silent, factor in the
recent election AT the time of the
national convention the 'Iowa Idea, .
as the reform movement was called,
was turned down good and hard II
was announced by the opponents
that the country would stand for
nothing of the kind, but the indie
pendent vote and the constant de-
mand of a considerable portion of
he republican party has forced rec.
ognition of the "Iowa Idea" at the
hands of many who were loud against
it. The movement will have much
opposition, however, and we read in
the dispatches from Washington
that the opposition is forming a
strong combination. 1t is recognized
by many that the republican party
must take hold OF the matter and
give the people this reform, or see
it done by another party in the near
future. The people demand it. The
great trouble has been in the past
that the leaders in all parties have
fondly imagined that they were to
lay down the principles and fix the
policies of the parties, and that the
voters only duty and right was to
ratify the action Of the bosses. Sdch
a state OF affairs is not healthy
condition. The tendency of the peo-
pie at this time is to lay down the
policies for the leaders to put in
force. This is reversing and making
right an evil of long standing. II is
this tendency. as indicated by the
great independent vote this fall, that
has awakened some Of the party
leaders to their duty.
