Courage in Poverty.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


child's paper in England sometimes

umns on the subject of courage and its
highest manifestations. Some Of the read
ers believed that the locomotive engineer
who rushed along In storm and murky
darkness over bridges and culverts with
never a tremor was hardy specimen Of
rugged man; others thought the trained
nurse and the modern physician who braved
daily the deadly perils of pestilence were
morally and physically courageous; still
others awarded the palm to the soldiers in
the field who. like the Japanese. for in

That Radium Test.
/ the New York Tribune

That Spontaneous generation story
which the London Chronicle prints and
which has been sent by cable to this coun-
try should be taken with a large grain of
salt. A variety of tests made in the last
few years lead to the belief that radium
exerts destructive influence on animal It's
sue and life, and when 1t has any affect at
all on vegetat ion that effect is pernicious
Among the most significant experiments on
record are those of M. Danysz. a veteran
bacteriologist, who is connected with the
Pasteur Institute in Paris. He found that
though the action of radium on microbes
was not always fatal, it invariably checked
their further development. If a less expert
enced investigator at Cambridge University
has apparently obtained a different result,
1t is to be feared that there is something
wrong with his method His conclusions
should be dstrusted until confirmed by an
expert OF undoubted standing.

Ducal Coterie Apprehensive.

Rightly or wrongly, the members of the
grand-ducal coterie view the demonstra-
tons of so-called liberals and even the
plots Of nihilistic revolutionists, without
collective apprehension. They know, or
course, that one of their number may fall
victim to dynamite, a bullet. or dagger
like the Grand Duke Sergius-but they as

the assumption, that the autocratic system
would survive They have read attentively
the annals of the French revolution, and
they have made up their minds that II

to deal with the first revolt against his au-
thority as General Bonaparte, acting for
the convention, dealt with the uprising OF
the Paris sections. the ancien regime would
never have succumbed. They regard, there
fore, any compromise on the part of the
reigning autocrat with the national aspira-
tons for self government-such a conces-
sion, for example, as Alexander II is known
to have made in the last days of his life at
the suggestion of Loris Melikon-as an act
of criminal weakness. base betrayal OF
the interests of the dynasty.
Under such circumstances they would
deem themselves at perfect liberty to de-
pose, or even assassinate the ruling SOW

officers of the army. and the resolute lib

when the insurrectonists professed to act
in the name of the Oldest son Of Alexan-
der I, 1t has always proved impossible to
array any considerable number of regiments
against the absolutist regime.
The Conservatives.
1t is quite otherwise with the convinced
conservatives, who believe In a paternal
government, but who want the Russian au-
tocracy to deserve that honorable name,
and who include almost all of the surviving
historical families and great landowners.
The military hierarchy is full of the repre-
sentatxes of this party, and If they saw fit
tn, position of prime minister there is no
power or influence in Russia that would be
able to overthrow him, SO long as he kept
ostensibly the good will of the reigning
sovereign. Now these conservatives are
quite right in regarding M. de White as the
Turgot of Russia, a man both eager and
qualified to save the absolutist regime, be-
cause, while infiexibly opposed to represen-
tstive institutions, he has proved his ability,

In the eyes of the Russian people.
With men like Richelieu and Turgot, how
ever, there can be stealing; no polite
connivance at embeZZlement and fraud on
the part of the black sheep of the reign

reason why certain members of the grand
ducal coterie hate NJ. de White more than
they hate a nihilist, and gladly would see
him removed from Russia at this critical

tive or else that the terms the acceptance
p of which the chief plenipotentiady may feel
himself constrained to advise will be such
as would subject Russia not only to pro-
found humiliation but also to territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and a heavy pecuniary In
demnity. In either event they may reckon
upon his FORGETTING his existing hold upon
the public esteem and confidence. Why, 1t
may be asked, should they deem it of so
much importance that the prestige of M. de
White should be impaired, if not destroyed?
1t is, we answer, because the ex-minister Of
finance is the idol of those honest conserva-
tives who desire to save the autocracy by
purifying invigcrating and endearing It,
and who constitute the only political party
which the grand dukes have reason to fear,
because. conceivably, If not probably, they
might control the army.
