WRETCHEDNESS.

The following word picture
drawn by Robert G. Ingersoll on
the coronation of the car and
czarina of Russia, which took
place from May to June, 1894,
when $40, 100000 were squander-
ed on the ceremonies, possesses
much interest, in view of the
scenes being enacted at st. Pet
ersburg at the present time
While reading the accounts
of the coronation of the czar, of
the pageants, professions and
feasts, of the pomp and glitter
ing gems, | could not help think
ing of the poor and melancholy
peasants, of the toiling, half-fed
millions, of the sad and ignorant
multitudes who belong body and
soul to the car.
Il thought of the backs that
have been SCARED by the knout,
of the thousands in prisons for
having dared to say a whispered
word for freedom, of the great
multitude who had been driven
like cattle along the weary roads
that lead to the hell, Siberia.
"The cannon of Moscow were
not loud enough, nor the clang
of the bells, nor the blare of the
trumpets, to drown the groans
of the captives.
Il thought of the fathers that
had been torn from wives and
children for the crime of speak
ing like men.
And when the priests spoke
of the car as the 'God-selected
man, the God dored man. my
blood grew warm.
When l read of the corona
ton of the czarina l thought of
girls working in the mines, haul
ing ore from the pits with chains
about their waists; young girls,
almost naked, at the mercy of
brutal officers; young girls weep
ing and moaning their lives away
because between their pure lips
jhe word liberty had burst into
blossom.
Yet law neglects, forgets
hem, and crowns the czarina.
The injustice, the agony and
horror of this poor world are
enough to make mankind insane.
Ignorance and superstition
,rown impudence and tyranny.
Millions of money squandered
sor the humiliation of man, to
lishonor the people.
Back of the coronation, back
If all the hypocrisy, there is
but a lie.
1T is not true that God sell
scted' this car to rule and rob a
millions of human be-
ngs.
1T is an ignorant, barbaric,
liza lie that pomp
md pageant and Haunting flags, |
md robed priests, swinging cen
ors, cannot change the truth.
Those whose eyes are not
blinded by the glare and glitter
It Moscow see millions of homes
N which the shadows fall; see
Millions of weeping mothers
whose children have been stolen
" the czar; see thousands of
Iillages without schools millions
# houses without books, mil
ions and millions of men and
7omen and children in whose
uture there is no star and whose
My friend is death.
The coronation is an insult to
he nineteenth century.
Long live the people of Rus
la p"

POPULAR SINGING CLASSES TO
BE ORGANIZED.
Minneapolis Project Attracts the At
tention Of Many Cities Campaign
May Be Concluded With Gigantic
Chorus of from 1900 to 1000 Voices
Locations Of Several Glasses.

1t is expected everything will be in
readiness to open the Peoples Singing
classes after the holidays and the en-
thuslasm every one is showing assures
the success of the plan. Already sew
eral hundred have enrolled and some Of
the best musicians in the city have
agreed to take charge Of the various
schools.
Minneapolis is the first western city
to adopt this plan and it has attracted
interest turnout the west. Letters are
received nearly every day from other
cities seeking information as to the
plan and already arrangements are be.
ing made to start similar movements
and other cities are waiting to see the
results in this city. In New York
Boston and wherever these classes have
been started they have proven the most
successful attempts at popular musical
education ever made. - -,.E~
The plan is no experiment, but il
has been fully, proven in other cities
that the great body of people shut out
from the more expensive musical at
fractions are eager and anxious to lear1
good music when the opportunity il
offered them. >.:~a ne, p
The hearty cooperation clergymen
musicians, and the public generally
have given to the plan is very encour
aging to it's promoters. It is possible
that the season will close with a gigan
tic chorus formed Of the 1900 to 1900
pupils Of the different schools and {
program given at popular prices to de
monstrate to the public the possibilitie.
OF the educational movement.
