la each ot these cases the light is furnished by private companies under contracts running from one to five years. But a number of cities have undertaken to snpplyjtheir own lighting in this way. The result is shown by the following table, and it is a most edifying showing, particularty as compared with the table first

The towns and oitiea of Massachusetts are petitioning the Legislature of the State for grants to thus enable them to seenre electric light. It is a coming question for Indianapolis, and we have taith to believe that when it comes the people will not be again "downed” In the interest of corporation*. The Russian Movement. Rnsaia never lets go of a purpose once formed for her own advantage. Even the detent in the Crimeau war never changed her scheme of advance on Constantinople and an opening into the Mediterranean Sea. The only obvious effect wee delay and that did not last long. Repeatedly ainoo her restless reaching oat by diplomacy, intrigue, intimidation after point* of advantages, the punuit of thie purpose has brought her in more or lese marked collision with other powers, bat a little halt lor conciliation has been all the check she has received or acted on. No power in Europe baa ever followed up d purpose with such steady, peraiatent anscrnpulousness. Her war in the Balkana wa* hardly more than fairly finished by tbe European moyemeot that stopped her almost at the Golden Horn, when ehe reknit her epider’a web end renewed her intrigues with the Danubian provinces, to replace by diplomacy what she bad temporarily lost by tbe war. She intrigued herselt into a dominant poeition in Bulgaria and Seryia, and hae held the advantage eyer since. But a wise discretion has prevented her from using it directly or openly. A* Napoleon used to eay, "Tho pear wa* not ripe.” Now, however, the.significant fruit stems to bo closely approaching maturity. The abdication of King Milan hae left Bervia under the control of the young King Alexander, who is wholly under the control of M. Ristice, a sort ot guardian of the regeney constituted by Milan to replace his abdication and absence. Here seems to open to Ramie as favorebie a condition of things as she could ask to advance her schemes. The young Alexander is to meet Czar at Charkoff next summer, and it is tbe very natural conclusion of Eoro|>can opinion that the occasion will be used by the Czar to fix in tbe boy’s mind the pmdeuce or necessity, uf consulting Russian representatives on all question* of policy effecting relations to any European power. In thie the more than ready concurrence of M. Rietios ia certain. He has always been a supporter of the pretensions and purposes of Russia, and bow that he is the virtual ruler of the Kingdom his subservience will bo invaluable to his Raeeian muter. Queen Natali* is Russian by birth and feeling, and the combined influences of mother and guardian ar* u strong an assurance u Rusal* could ask that she can want Utel* that they won’t give her. Thus bu the great Northern aggressive power cleared the way to tl>* Balkan State*. She is virtually mistress of all the territory she needs to pass through to reach them. In a position of such advantage it would bo strang* if n movement were not soon made to roach assured results which, once acquired, would be the means of' acquiring others, or strengthsuing tho power to resist any effort to displaoe or roduoe them. Snoh would probably make a general European row, and wind up with a war, out of whiek Russia would com* with conceded advantage* that it weald east too much to try to take from her. la tha meanwhile, by way of ontlyiag guards, she has obtained a new cession of territory from Persia, to strengthen her means at aggression on British India. So all over tha East of Europe and tha regions ot Central Asia then is the manao* ot thunder ia tho air, a possibility of a bigger war than aay nf this generation. Th* Czar la wall prepared for it. Th* econo changes • little, bat lb# eoaditioaa not at all. When Russia wee gathering groat maeeae of troop* 3 along th# German and Austrian froe tiers a year ago, Earopoan apprehension avowed little doubt *4 th* opooiug ol war with th* .opening of spring. Tho Csar dissipated those alarms and restored a etato of eoaparativ* confidence, whieh ha baa bad th* art to maintain by stopping or eon coaling his intrigues with th* Dnaubtea Kingdoms.

Our Children.

I looked at the happy children Who gathered around the hearth; lo blltbs they were, no children Could happier be on earth; With their marry pisye sad their winsome ways, And th* sound of their silvery mirth!

Then I thought ot thorn other children, 8o wizened, and herd, end bold. Who boddlc in situs and cellar. And shiver with want and cold; Hot fresh as the dew, or the morning'i hue, Bat haggard, and loan, and old.

But yet may they still, thoae children. Be taught to forget their pels; And fathered in arms that love thoae. Their laughter may come actio; And tbs stars of woe and the craft may go, And tba spirit be washed of stain.

But it Is not In oold book-learning Those children's hearts to move: And tbs atony eye of tba serpent Is death to the stricken dove; ’Tic aa angel alone can touch them. And that angel's namt Is love

For whatever tbe world may fancy And whatever the wise men say Of our nineteenth-century progress, Ot a new end a better way: Still it takes e soul to make a soul Now, as in tba olden day. —[London Spectator.

lit* Working of FomaU Aaffrago la Kansas at tn* Recast JC1 action*. [Topoke CorrasposOaoea Hsw Yarn Tuns* | Thousands of women participated ia the municipal alcetioas held throughout Kansu last week. In Topeka alone over 2,300 voted, end ia Leavenworth, Wichita, Atchison, Fort Scott aed other smaller cities, the numbers tar exceeded those of 1887. No issue, other than that of decent municipal government, was presented aad tha accepted explanation of this large veto is that the women now folly approeiato tha fraite of tha victory they woa two ysors ago. Tbe scenes at the polls certainly sustained this view of the situation. In Topoka tho women displayed more enthusiasm thaa th* men. They not only went to lb# polls and worked, but many of the moot icflucatial of them sent their carriages t* remote parts of tbo city nod brought in number* of their loss-bappily-ciroamstanced sister*, who needed but th* on* incentive ot rapid transit to make them good ninateanth-caatary Kansu citizens. Hundreds *f oolorod women yisitad the voting piece* daring the day, and many of thus electioneered with all tho art ot practical politicians. Every hack or earyall in th# oity was called into service, and it wu noticeable that the “black vote” required mors transportation than Us paler adjunct of civilization. Mncb to the disgust of the Republicans most of the white women voted for th* Dsmocratio candidates tor Mayor iu Topeka, Leavenworth and Atchison. Iu th* former oity the Republican nominee wu confessedly a "ringstcr,” while in Ltavenwerth the notorious Colonel Dan Anthony, brother of Susan B., beaded th* Kepablicsa ticket. Susan B. Anthony came ont from Rochester to help the Colonel, but the women proved too much for them, and be wu snowed under by 700 majority. It is possible that Mise Anthony is not so mnoh in favor of woman suffrage la Kansu u she wu a week ago. At each voting place in Topeka, aad praeuinably th* other cities, a partition separated the men end women u they deposited their ballots. The women seemed more impressed with tbs responsibility of their act and scrutinized their tickets carefully before passing them through the windows. Out in this benighted country the names of all the candidate* ars printed on long sheets ot paper. With charming frankness many ot the ladies who voted tor the first time produced pencils and “scratched” their tickets and then handed them to the clerk* unfolded end with the changes visible to the canvassers. In an alley near one of the polls three white women were sun in earnest convenelion with a colored dame, who evidently could rot read, but desired to vote the straight Republican ticket. She wu finally provided with a ticket that added anuther nail t* tha coffin of tbe Republican candidate for Mayor, and she marched up to the window and handed it in with the air of a queen. Daring the day many cases of husband and wife voting oppositely came to notice and these have already been cited in attempted refutation to the claim that women are largely influenced by their husbands. It is asserted, further, that many men were indneed to change their votes on Tuesday through ths argument* oi thsir better halves. The result, particularly in thie banner Republican oily, would certainly iudioatesomething otlhis nature. Kansu, tbe great experimental ground of the nation, eeems to have settled the question of municipal suffrage for women to the satisfaction of a large nnijority of its own people at least. In Uottcnwood Falls and Rossvills, two small cities, th# emirs government has just been placed in the hands of women. Oskaloosa has been governed by women for thepssttwo years, and th* people seem to bo pie ased, for (hey have re-eieced tbeea. The opponents of tbe movement appear to have accepted defeat philosophically. “What’s the use of keeping np the fight?” said a prominent Democrat to-day, in concoocladiog »ome very vigorous remarks *■ the subject; “the thing ia evidently here to stay, just as prohibition is, and although I know tbst it is bonnd lo exert a harmful in* fluence upon the eliareoter of women, I realize the folly of trying to change the situation. When a movement like thie get* a footing in Kansu the wisest plan is to stand from under.”

A powerful mastiff slept at the foot of his bed and he kept a loaded revolver on the table. There was no cbiinoey-place in the room, lest dynamite should be dropped down it; and no coal wu horned ia any room which he occupied, because he onoc saw a murderous Nihilist engine which looked ontwardiy like a lump of coal. He was so afraid of poison that be always bad the wine be drank uncorked before him. His coffee wu always made in his presence with a spirit-of-wine apparatus, and he would never, when eating alone, touch a made dish, bat only plain toast or a boiled egg—for there ia no putting poison into an egg.

satisfactorily both to employers and employees. In England and Scotland, whore I have had considerable experience, tbe Saturday halfholiday was always looked forward to by young and oid. Wltb few exoepttaas. tbe time was well-spent tbo yoong man playing cricket, rowing or some such healthful sxarc.se, which net only lacreasad tn* popularity o( tba gam**, but was tbe means of forming truer friendships than la commonly don* dunng business hours. Amongst th* ladies, e Urge number want short distances into tba country, some returning tbe tama svsning. others, wbo were fortunet* enough to have relation*, remain In v till Sunday night or Monday morning, os suited them best and again nearly all the church aad Sundayschool picnics war* bs.d on lbs Saturday* and owing to the short hours, many young had an opportunity of enjoy mg thsmseiv

otherwise would not

Of course, there is a thousand and on* ways of ■pending a half-holiday pleasantly, but tbosa I have mentioned are, 1 think, about as economical and healthful aa any. The system itself work* welL Th# people know the stores *11 close early and provide themselves accordingly, and notwithstanding the tact that tha stores nr* ell closed, tha cities have a mors animated and crowded appearance thaa on any other night In tbs week. 1 think, sir, that through your columns you will advocate this esrly-ciosing movement, so well begun, end If successful, you will truly have earned the gratitude of th* tolling thousands, sod assuredly oi your correspondent.
