RUSSIA IN DEFEAT.
At the Close Of the Crimean War Her
Weakness Stood Revealed.

DIR. Andrew D. White in the Century.
Desnite the suppression of most of the
foreign Journals and the plotting out of
page after page of the newspapers al
lowed to enter the empire-despite all
that the secret police could do in repress-
ing unfavorable COMMENT became gen.
orally known that all was going wrong
in the Crimea. News came of reverse
after reverse, of the defeats of the Alma
and Inkerman, and as a climax the loss
of SebastopoI and the destruction of the
Russian fleet.
In the midst of it all, as Is ever the
case in Russian wars, came utter collapse
in the commissariat department: every
where one heard hints and finally de-
tailed stories of scoundrelism in high
places, of money which ought to have
been appropriated to army supplies, but
which had been expended at the gambling
tables of HOmburg or in the Breda quar-
ter of Paris.
Then it was that there was borne in
upon me the conviction that Russia, pow
erful as she seems when viewed from the
outside, is anything but strong when
viewed from the inside. To say nothing
of the thousand evident weaknesses re-
sulting from autocracy-the theory that
one man, and he generally not one of the
most highly endowed, can do the think
ing for a hundred millions Of people
there was nowhere the slightest sign of
any uprising of great nation, as, for in
stance, of the French against Europe in
1892, of the Germans against France in
1913 and in 1870, Of Italy against Austria
in 1859 and afterward. and of the Ameri-
cans in the civil war of 1861.
There were certainly more noble char
acters in Russia. and these must have felt
deeply the condition of things. But there
being no great middle class, and the
lower class having been long kept in be-
Sotted ignorance, there seemed no force
on which patriotism could take hold.

JUSTICE FOR BULLDOGS.
Subject Of Appeals to the District Com
missioners.

Justice for the bulldogs of Washington is
the substance of several appeals received
by the Commissioners recently in connec-
ton with the report of the proposed regula-
ton requiring that bulldogs when on the
streets of Washington be held in leash
The proposition to adopt a regulation re-
quiring the restraint of bulldogs on the
streets is described by one correspondent OF
the Commissioners as canine class legisla-
tion," and it is inveighed against as unfair
The friends of this particular breed OF
dogs also contend that the bulldog is peace
able, tractable and law abiding, the great
est of pets and harmless as child
Mr. E. Everett Taylor writes to the Com
missonerS fOlOwS:-

Defense Against Disagreeableness.

FROM Leslie Magazine.
However disagreeable other people may
be-however unjust they may be-however
true it may be that the wrong is all on
their side and not at all on ours--whatever
we may suffer at their hands-we can only
remedy the difficulty by looking first solely
to ourselves and our own conduct; and, not
only until we are entirely free from resent
ment or resistance Of any kind, and, not
until we are quiet in our own minds with
regard to those who may be depressing or
annoying us, should we make any effort to
set them right.
The philosophy is sound and absolutely
practical-it never fails; any apparent fail
ure will be due to our own delinquency In
applying It; and, If the reader will think of
this truth carefully until he feels able to
accept it, he will see what true freedom
there is in it-although it may be long
time before he is fully able to carry 1t out.

Ritualism In Liverpool.


LONDON, October g. - Extraordinary

town hall. which was attended by all the
leading bishops and clergy of the united

crowds gathered in the streets, to whom
several leading low churchmen, including
followers Of the late John Kensit's son and
the Wyckliffe preachers, an organizat ton
founded by the late Mr. Kensit, had previ-
ously distributed anti-ritualistic pamphlets.
AS the procession, headed by the civic
regalia and the corporation, followed by the
bishops and clergy, in their robes on foot
neared the cathedral the demonstrators
commenced to shout: Down with popery!

venerable archbishop Of YOk appeared, his
silver cross of Office held up before him, the
crowd booed and shrieked. "Traitors!' ut

of police was stationed about the building.

Books in Series.
From St. Nicholas.

TOM 81 tSfcuuIus
While it is certainly pretty sight to see
a long row of books In a neat and uniform
binding like soldiers on parade. there is a
distinct loss of individuality. AS you glance
over your books upon their shelves it is
pleasant to recognize them from their out
ward dress. They keep themselves better
in mind If each one is not exactly like It's
neighbors, You are even likely to forget
what you have IL you cannot know them
from across the room.
We often go to the bookcase looking
simply for something to read" and then
1t Is an advantage to know each book at
the first glance. OF course, this does not
apply SO strongly to the works Of a single
author. These belong in a uniform. and
you know what Is among them.
