The Millville City Band.

The above is a reproduction of a photograph of the Mill
vile City Band which has been filling engagements at wig
wood this summer. Under the leadership of William S.
PAYNE, of Milville, this band has, during the past two
months, delighted vast throngs at the Wildwood Casino and
other public places with choice selections masteftully rendered.
The sacred concert last Sunday evening was listened to by
the largest gathering ever assembled in Wildwood. By the
gentlemanly conduct of the individual members, their attrac-
tive appearance IN their white suits and the hne, music the
band has become very popular with our people.
The band will entertain the crowds next Saturday even
ing as usual Oh the band stand at the Casino. Sunday morn
ing at bathing hour they will give another concert in front OF
the Casino. In the afternoon the band will play at Bakers
pavilion. Sunday evening there will be a sacred concert from
7.3o until 9 o'clock at the band stand. The band will remain
over Labor Day and give an afternoon concert from 2 to $50
o'clock. In the evening the boys will play for the masquer-
ade ball at the Casino. The latter will be a grand affair.
Real estate agent John N. Reeve will take the players on
a grabbing trip Monday morning and entertain them at a ban
quet in the evening. The band will continue the Saturday
and Sunday concerts until the middle of September.

The announcement from st. Peters
burg that the system of condemning
political suspects by administrative or
der has been abolished by imperial de-
cree marks the most important step in
the progress of reform in Russia since
the liberation of the serfs by AleXan-
der l. Henceforth persons accused of
political crimes will be tried by the
courts under regular procedure, and 81
IBERIA will cease to be a great blot on
the cars escutcheon.
1t is more han Il century since the
French "'lettre de cachet," the counter
part of the Russian administrative or
der, by which any person of whatever
degree wis became distasteful to the
ruling powers could be sent without
trial to the Bastille or even to death,
was torn to pieces by the patriots of
the 18th of July. Reform is prove
bially leaden footed and particularly so
in Russia, but the policy of arbitrary
condemnation was bound to end O
or another reign of terror would have
overwhelmed the a%ristocrats of st. Pc
tersburg. as it did those of the Eau
bourg st. Germaine.
1t is not stated whether this imperial
decree extends to the bounds of Rus
STA proper or into Poland and Finland,
those unhappy provinces whose hest
citizens have been summarily banished
from their homes at the whim of a
governor general. but it is stated that
1t meets with approval of the minister
Of the interior, NJ. de Plehve, under
whose aegis most of the crimes of b.
brikoff and Tc~hertkoff were committed.
If the assassination of Bobrikoff has
prompted the imperial decree by which
Nicholas l. will be best known to flu
ture generations Ferdinand Schaumann
u go down in history as a Finnish
Brutus, not as a common murderer. If
it be the eXigencies of the war with
Japan, demanding a nation peaceful at
home while assailed by foes abroad.
which has impelled the czar to this act
of humanity, the party which forced
that war has builded better than it
meant to build, and the conflict which
Leo Tolstoi assails in such scathing
terms will have somewhat justified it.

born among Irishmen, he declares, the
sense that the English misunderstand-
ing of Ireland is of far less Importance
and perhaps less irexcusable than our
own misunderstanding of ourselves"
Now" says Sir Horace, "Anglo-Irish
history is for Englishmen to remember,
for lrishmen to forget"
The Irish have shown in their organ-
lied opinion a disposition to be pro-
Irish rather than anti English. One
sign of this Sir Horace finds in the
spirit of moderation and Cancellation
shown in connection with the Wynd-
ham land act. As Sir Gilbert Parker
says in commenting on Plunkett's book.
There is Il steadily advancing convic-
ton that, great as is England's respon-
sibility for Ireland, still greater is the
responsibility of Irishmen to solve
some part of the Irish problem from
Within
Sir Horace deprecates the Irish list
lessness and apathy in regard to eco
nomic Improvement, which amounts to
a form of fatalism, the postponement
of the tangible and the immediate for
the nebulous and the grandiose." But
this spirit, he believes, is changing. The
material problem is to be worked out
by cooperation, resettlement, state in
PREVENTION, the further development of
manufactures in the towns and partic-
ularly of the arts and crafts subsidiary
to agriculture in the country" These
things are being resolutely taken hold
of. They are being assisted by the
clannishness of the Irish character, to
which organized self help comes natu-
raj. They are being propelled by the
mighty spirit of sentiment which
through the Gaelic league has touched
the secret chord of Irish nationality"
In short, the hopeful outlook for New
Ireland is based upon 'the happy con-
junction of economic fact and national
sentiment"
