Some time ago we sent Colonel W. J. Bryan a clipping from the Star reminding him of his promise made two years ago, to deliver a lecture here under the auspices of the Woman's Library Association, and yesterday received the following courteous and encouraging reply:

The reason so many people regard any attempt to raise the pay of con gressmen as a salary grab" is be cause they think $5.000 year is enough for any man. And the req son they think S5.0OO a year is enough for any man is because so few of them ever went to Congress aHd tried to keep soul and body to- gether in Washington. Kansas City Journal. Possibly another reason is that there are so few who ever get as much as $5.000 a year. no matter how hard they work, and who would like to try it a year or two in Wash ington at that price.

HOSTILITY.
Strikes Are Resumed In Russia and
More Trouble Brewing.
PEASANTS Selling Land.

St Petersburg, June THE
government and the lower house
of the Russian parliament are
coming to close quarters, and a
clash cannot be much longer
delayed.
G The excitement in the interior
is g increasing daily. Partial
strikes have begun at Kietf,
Odessa, Moscow and other cities
and the peasants in provinces
are no longer restrainable and have
commenced to seize the land of
the proprietors. The leaders of
the Constitutional Democrats in
) the lower house, realize that they
must 90 with the tide, and the
government, which equally sought
tocalmly ignore the extra con-
stitutional" Democrats of the
G house and sent the ministers to
the house with conciliatOry
speeches, realizes that the govern
mental policy has failed.
Since the government declined
to give the house satisfaction re-
gardingthe continued executions in
the provinces or to bring to book.
Che local officials, whose tyranny
is tanning the flames of popular
Indignation, parliament has had no
alternative except the immediate
insistence on its demand for the
dismissal of the cabinet. The
scene at yesterdays session when
the house refused to listen to the
ministers and practically drove
them from the rostrum, clearly
represents the issue. The
emperor must dismiss the cabinet
or fight. In yielding to the
militant spirit of the radicals up
on this point the Constitutional
Democrats again solidifed the
opinion which was on the verge
of dissension over the agrarian
questions.
The members of the nobility are
perfectly aware that the parlia-
mentary programme if adopted
will wipe out landloridism in
Russia and that the fair price
which the programme offers for
their appropriated property will
not save them from economic ruin.
Therefore the mobiles are organic
ing in order to make a stiff fight
for the preservation of their
prerogatiVes.
