The ruture of Ru.nia.

Boston Herald.
 Russia may be quite sure of escap- ing molestation that would threaten her at home so long as she does not provoke 1t by an aggressive foreign policy. There is no nation that GOV cts any territory -elonging to Russia and within her recognized boundaries. She has been wise enough to with stand any temptati to scatter her resources in unprofitable colonial ven tures. Her expansion policy has been that of acquiring contiguous, not iso- lated territory. Her forces are not scattered all over the earth In spots that have to be defended even when they do not make any adequate return for the cost. She has not cultivated the foolish notion that trade follows the flag. She knows that it does not, unless the flag Is converted into a symbol of arbitrary, selfish and exclu- sive opportunity.

For Better school Houses

We would like to see the State use as much of the $75O,o00 surplus as pos sible in the erection of beautiful school houses in every district in the State where such is needed. Revive the law that was pigeon holed in the last Leg islature giving to any district as much money as the district will raise Make the limit for each district $500 instead of $200, as was specified in the Origl- nal bill.

Firemnn n. paiuter..

You see," said Fire Chief Browder. that we have good painters in the department as we'll as good firemen," and he jerked his thumb to several laddies on ladders who were busy with buckets of paints and brushes bright ening up the front of the headquar- terg house on Madison avenue.
 Fate has been kind to us." added the chief, " that we have not had much fire-fighting in some time and the boys are exercising themselves by painting the. interior and exterior of the building"
 The front of the headquarters house will be radiant in red when the paint er=firemen have concluded their work. The upstairs rooms, the living quar- ters of the men, have been treated to paint and paper and 1t is evident that there is more than one decorative artist in the band of firemen of Mad ison avenue.
 We did all of this ourselves" says Assistant Chief Griffith proudly as he shows. the visitor through the neat. well kept rooms where the firemen sleep. And the work reflects credit on the men.

THE oLD WAY.

The Nebraska State Journal calls att tention to the fact that just a century ago there was a violent epidemic of yellow fever in Providence and Phila- delphia. and the latter city adopted heroic measures to stamp it out. The authorities of Philadelphia on Septem- Der 6. 1905. issued the following proc lamation:
 As 1t is of the greatest importance to the welfare of our fellow citizens, promptly to extinguish the malignant fever now raging in the eastern dis trict of Southwark and prevent its ex- tension towards the limits of the city. And as to the general evacuation of the infected district aforesaid appears to be the only certain mode of effect ing the same desirable end. The board of health do, therefore, most earnestly recommend to the in- habitants of Southwark, who reside in the neighborhood of the infected, and who may still be favored with the en- toyment of health, to remove as quick ly IS possible into the country, by which means they will most probably, under the favor of providence, escape the prevailing disease, and its atten- dant calamities.
 The board also repeat their advice | to the inhabitants residing within the limits of the city to avoid all inter- course with the infected part of South Wark.
 Medical science at that time knew little of the origin or treatment of vel low fever, or of Its manner of spread ing. The mosquito theory was not known and the belief prevailed that the disease was both contagious and in- fectlous; consequently. the way to stop it was to scatter and isolate. We imagine that there wouldbe something of war now If the authorities of New Orleans. for example, were to order all residents of the infected districts to l scatter themselves among the inhabi- tants of the surrounding country Shot gun quarantines would be established on every road and path, and it would be like ordering people out of high walled city with the gates all closed.

NOT GETTING WORSE.


 The Chicago Journal tries to console the present generation by telling them that governmental and official graft are no new features in our public life. It goes back to some of the troubles in the Postofice Department and in the New York custom house during An- drew Jacksons administration, and then comes along down the line to the present time. pointing out various crooked places for at least three-duart- CTS of a century. Perhaps The Jour- nal is correct, but we think 1t will hardly be able to show that there was at any previous time as much crookedness in high places as there is at present, or as futile efforts to stop 1t.
 We don't know that human nature has grown much worse or much better during the last half a century. In some respects there has certainly been advance towards better things. but in others the change has been for the worse. Human nature Is and has always been weak from the fall of Adam to the slide downward of Chaun- cey Depew, and we suppose 1t will always be the same. When tempta- ton comes the weak yield to it. and when political pull brings good results the pullers are always ready. If every body was honest we suppose this would be something of hum- drum old world.
