The Canadian laws require each
man to take 160 acres of land and
live on it. The Doukho obors were ex-
cused from living on the land individ-
ually, but the law required each man
to file on a quarter section. After a
long drawn out but peaceful conflict
with the government, the contest
has been settled SO that those who
continue to i've in communities get
about fifteen acres each around the
villages, while those who want to
can take up 160 acres head in sew

side for the Doukhobors has thus
been released and to be opened to

Springfield, ILL.,. May 81. It is
now deemed certain, from all evid-
ence discovered, that Cora Lieder-
brand. aged II, killed her LITTLE
invalid sister, Carrie, aged Z years,
and then killed herself yesterday
with a revolver found in the creek
near where the bodies were found
floating, nine miles north Of here.
dt is believed that after Carrie was
shot the body was thrown into the
creek by Cora who then shot herself
and pitched forward into the water.
The father OF the girls, who found
the bodies. said Cora had complain
ed repeatedly within the past few
months that the incessant care of
her invalid sister was an injustice to
her as 1t did not permit hersto en-
joy the companionship Of other young
girls. An examination Of the bodies
showed that the bullet wounds were
in precisely the same relative posi-
lions, IN the temple. No other
wounds were apparent.

"In our form of government the
personal equation cannot be elimi-
mated. Ours is neither a democracy

government through representation.
Our public officials are trustees with
constitutional or statutory limita-
tions and personal responsibilities as
such. The principle of representa-
tion in human government is COM
paratively a recent discovery. With
out it government ever has been op-5
pressive and the governed without
adequate means Of redress. Our gov
ernment, national and state, is pre-
dicated on fduciary relationsbetween
the people and their public servants,
and the manner of the execution of
the trust depends 1lnOn the cOnceD-

form of crusade against the holders
of grazing farms on the eleven mon
this lease system and is developing
with great rapidity and intensity.
Roscommon, Kings county and
North Tipperary are the centers Of
lawlessness. In bygone times these
localities saw many evictions, and
the peasants are determined that the
land shall be redistributel to small
holders. Reports are received daily
Of gathering Of large bands OF peas
ants who destroy gates and fences
and clear the grazing ranches Of cat
tie, which they drive back over the
miles of country to the farms Of the
owners. In two cases men who had
eased ranches were compelled to a.

timidation.
The authorities have drafted large
forces Of police into the disturbed
districts, with the result that there
have been some serious conflicts be-
tween the police and peasants, and
many persons on both sides have been

Fifty-six Years a Teacher.

We had the privilege of read
ing the following extract from a
letter written by a mother to her
son-the latter being a we'll known,
influential citizen of Fitzgerald.
We could only get consent to
give these extracts to our read
ers by a promise to Withhold his
name-which by the way, is all
on account of his modesty. The
mother is seventy.seven years
old and has spent fifty-six con-
secutive years in the school
room.
She is entitled to and will re-
ceive the $1,000 annuity for
teachers, from Carnegie, the
millionaire. In a plain, pretty,
and even hand she writes to her
son, from Randolph-Macon
Woman's college in Virginia, as
follows:
well, the die is cast and I
have formally rendered to the
board of trustees my resignation
which has in it's turn formally
accepted. I hardly remember
the time when l did not teach
and to be person of leisure will
be an experience for me.
mot to be at the call of a bell,
and to regulate my employment
and my business, I will feel as
though l had taken on another
individuality. 1t is needless to
say that the son of such a mother
is highly educated and cultured
