PLANS FOR RUSSIAN REFORMS.

~ OW that it is regarded certain that the war
~ between Japan and Russia must come to an end
very soon, it Is believed that the Russian gov
ernment will be better disposed toward the plan of
reform which outlined by his leading ministers.
Some concessions will have to be made to the people

time. 1t is learned through Partisan newspapers

which received some consideration at his hands, en-
bodied the following points
The assembling of delegates from all the pro-
vincial zemstvos to formglate constitution which,
while maintaining the autocratic rights and supreme
powers of the czar, will aim at satisfying the needs
whether less urgent, of the people.
This assembly will not be called the zemski
sobor but will be chamber composed of represent
ative and legislative elements
The laws voted by this chamber will have to
receive the sanction of the before coming into
force.
The budget of the imperial house and the acts
of the emperor or of members of his family must
not form the subject of debate in the chamber.
The question of the liberty of the press will be
definitely examined, as well as that of the abolition
of the censorship.
The regulation of the duties ard rights of
students

compulsory education
The expense OF maintaining these Schools which
has hitherto been borne by the people alone, will be

DRIFTING?

a ND now it is proposed that score of senator's
~ and as many representatives shall accompany
Secretary Taft a jaunt around the
world by way of the Philippines. The lucky states
men who to be invited will be selected from the
committees of both houses having to do with the
tariff and other legislation concerning the Philip
pines and it is confidently predicted that, although
particular effort will be made to take those who are
not inclined to be generous to the islands, they will
all come home thoroughly converted to the views of
the secretary and the president.
OF course the Philippine treasury is to pay for
the excursion, for it is for the purpose of stmulat
ing legislation which the Philippine government
ardently desires. So it is with many things. So it
was with the recently authorized guarantee of bonds
to be issued for the building of railroads in the
Philippines. The Philippine government is to
guarantee the bonds, and that government is eager
to do So because it arently desires the building of
the railroads. So it with the three million dol
lar Philippine exhibit at the st. Louis worlds fair
paid for out of the Philippine treasury. The Phil
ippine government was extremely anxious to make
that exhibit to the people of the United States, and
the cost mattered little to the Philippine govern
ment The Philippine people have nothing of con-
sequence to say about anything and it is sald and
may be quite true that it is well that the people
have nothing to say, because they cannot know
what is good for them, and will profit and prosper
more, in the long run, if govern them a while
for ourselves and travelling statesmen, railroad
builders and exhibition boomers.
Some of us may have grave misgvings about
this but even granting that it is well for the Flpl
nos to be thus governed and taxed, and made to en-
tertain and to spend thei funds in various ways by
foreigners of benevolent and sef-contdent disposl-
tion, there remains the question whether it is whole
for the foreigner; whether it is good for to
have attention. and the attention of our egisla
tors, thus diverted from sufficiently engrosslng
home affairs; whether there may not be grave dang
er of generalization in this governing of totally
different people the other side of the world under
circumstances foreign to us, and upon principles
radically opposed to the spirit of institutions
and the natural drift of our political life! -,
No doubt journey around the world will have
an exceedingly beneficial effect upon senator's
and representatives, for travel is great educator
and eye-opener. No doubt the Philippine exhibit
at the worlds fair was worth great deal, and the
authorization of the Philippine guarantee of railroad
bonds well calculated to develop the is
lands. The grave doubt is whittier all this may lead
us; for have people nearer home, Of whom it
may also be said that they do not know what is good
for them, and we also have public who would
not be altogether unscrupulous in the application OF
this practice at home or abroad.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an ide;
that the Indians of the far northwest
were partly Jewish in origin. From
Lake Athabasca in 1874 he set out at
the head of an expedition ''in II birch
bark canoe twenty-five feet long, four
and three-cuarters feet beam and
twenty-six inches hold, with 5000
pounds of baggage and provisions ana
q crew OF nine French Canadians. He
reached the Pacific coast and returned
The aborigiaes he met were ''for the
most part possessed of strongly reli-
gious instincts" said lie in his report.
"With regard to their origin, all we are
prepared to state after careful sur
yey of their languages, manners and
customs is that they are undoubtedly
of mixed origin; come from the north
northwest and had commerce in their
early history perhaps through inter
marriage with people of Jewish per.
suaslon or origin"

The April Smart Set.

In the novelette, which opens the
April Smart Set, Grace MacGowan
Cooke has struck an entirely new
note in fiction. 1t is a story of the
West, so saturated with the atmos-
phere of that part of our country and
so Photographic in its depletion Of
ranch life that it will take high rank
among the best tales of that class; yet
it is more as character study that
'.sThe Red. Headed Woman" will win
praise. The heroine is the most ori-
ginal, the most human, the most re.
freshing woman who for long time
has stepped from a printed page.
There is no reader who will not be
fascinated by her vagaries and inter-
ested in her remarkable career.
The short stories in this number
cover wide field. First OF all, there
is a wonderfully graphic tale by a
new writer, Julia Lawrence Shafter,
which she has called "a Realist." In
it, with consummate art. she analyzes
the intricate cha acter cf forlorn
criminal who has become a subject Of
interest for novelist in search Of
"copy" This story alone would
make any magazine worth while bu'
but there are other excellent tales
notably by William r. Lighiou, who
tells how a dead love was resurrecteC
in "The Shadow of a Shadow" by
Mrs. Henry Dudeney, who writes {

The California Ruins.

The ruins of the early Spanish mis-
sions in California are the subject of
an interesting article in the lsEw
IDEA WoMAN's MAGAZINE for April.
The writer seems to have been i'm
pressed by the picturesqueness Of the
work of the intrepid fathers, who
were in reality very wonderful both
as pioneers and educators, and in n
marvelously short time attained re
suits by their beneiicent methods
with the native Indians that under
other conditions have taken centuries
to accomplish, if they can yet be said
to be accomplished. In regard to the
erection of the mission buildings, the
writer says that "the problems of
modern architects sink into insignif-
cance beside them. Brick had to be
made, stone quarried and dressed. and
huge timbers for rafters hewn in the
mountain forests and carried on the
shoulders of men. sometimes twenty
and thirty miles" Such was the
history of these splendid relics Of
pioneer days.

A TALE OF THE COMMUNE,
Ono Little Chap Who Escaped the
Bullets of the Soldiers.


A writer in the Cornhill tells Of a
scene that Charles Austin witnessed
when the Versaillais entered Paris. He
saw one day roaming about Paris-a
not uncommon sight-a group Of men
and women put against wall to be
shot. Their hands were supposed to
be blackened with powder.
Among them was lad Of twelve or
fourteen, who, before the order to shoot
could be given, stepped forward and
begged to be allowed to take back the
watch his mother had lent him. He
produced a huge turnip of watch and
promised faithfully to return.
Mr.. Austin said 1t was a moment Of
anguish. None could be sure that the
child was telling the truth, but the off,
Ger commanding, giving him kick,
said. "Be off with your The Child ran
away the order to shoot rang out, but
the horrid business was hardly over
before the clatter of feet was heard, and

little soul.

MORAL TO WASTED OPPORTUNITIES

a MOS RUSIE, considered by some baseball
~ sharps to be the best pitcher that stood
before a batsman is working in an indianapolis
lumber yard loading planks on drays for 81. SO a
day. Since his retirement from baseball several
years ago Rusie has earned living at digging
bitches and driving trucks He has lost all of the
magnificent physique that made him diamond hero
years ago, and has given up all hope of bettering
himself. Amos got 81, 600 in 1894 for pitching less
than fifty games for the New York Nationals He
was in his prime then, and his friends advise him
to save his money. But the big pitcher, fond of
good fellowship, refused to listen to reason, and
proceeded to blow his money in treating horde of
fatterers and supposed friends What Rusie did
not spend in this manner he loaned to Tom, Dick
and Harry, always leaving town at the end of
son in debt. Today, in actual want, Rusie would
find few of his boon companions of days gone by
who would raise finger to help him. His piable
conditions should be warning to other young
players who come into baseball with empty pockets
find money easily and fail to appreciate its worth.
