Couut Tolstoy's Views
In an interesting letter addressed to Mr.
J. C. Kenworthy, Count Leo Tolstoj
writes!
Strange though it may seem to say so,
nothing has so much hindered the propa
gation of the truth as the too hasty de
sire to make others accept it.
I have always been deeply affected by
the rarely-noticed words of Christ to his
seventy disciples, when they returned
from preaching and boasted of their suc
cess, saying that everywhere the devils
were subject unto them: "In this rejoice
not, that the spirits are subject unto you
but rather rejoice because your names
are written in heaven." In other words:
Seek not outward success, visible to all
men; neither count your proselytes, but
seek to live in the truth, never to deviate
from it, and your influence over men,
though perhaps invisible to you, is sure
to follow. The same is expressed in the
words, "Seek ye first the kingdom ol
God and his righteousness, and all these
things will be added unto you;" and in
tlfe words, "Be ye wise as serpents and
harmless as doves." Truth, in order to
r-infiuence men, should be irenuine, un
alloyednot adapted to the life of men
of the world. And this is one point
" which is always being forgotten by man
- kind, owing to which the most powerful
efforts have been, and are yet, lost in
vain. Precious is not that community
which we may orgauizeat Soula or Croy-
V
don with the help of those near to us in
time and space, although such a com
munity may also have its object and
siguiflcation; but precious is that com
munity of men of all times and nation!
who unite in the sole existing truth, by
means of which 1 have been brought into
communion with the men sodistantfrom
me in space and time, amongst others
with you.
The community of which mankind now
chiefly stands in need must consist, not
of men who will unite in pursuit of cer
tain economical aims advantageous for
themselves, like that "Brotherhood
Trust" of which you sent me the descrip
tion, but of those men who are dis
persed everywhere, and have once for all
renounced all worldly aims and have de
voted themselves to the service of God.
All the grandest undertakings have not
only come to nought, but have turned
against the very cause which they were
intended to serve, and that only owing
to haste, to the desire of men to convert
the greatest possible number of their
fellow-creatures in the shortest possible
time; or, if they fail in so doing, to give
them at least the appearance of converts
Thus, in the first instance, Paul began
to curtail the exigencies of Christ, and
to adapt them to the existing 'order oi
things; thus, but on a large scale, did
Constantino, in order to make them
accessible to himself and his nation.
Thus dealt all those introdocers ol
Christianity in England, France and
Russia, like Charlemagne aud Vladimir,
who almost compulsorily christened
their people. And thus do all founders
and organizers of sects pervert Christi
anity, from the Mormons to the Salva
tion Army. This haste always has been
and continues to be the great draw-back
to the spreading of Christianity.
Let lis with all our strength keep to
the whole truth for our own sake, in the
full light in which it is unfolded to us,
and this light will inevitably enlighten
those around us, and this same truth
will inevitably unite us altogether, with
out our troubling ourselves about it;
because there is only one truth, and in it
onlv can men unite permanently.
What profound and good undertakings
were those of St. Simon, Courier, fruu
hon, with his national bank, Robert
Owen, and of hundreds of other founders
of communities in America, and what re
mains of them? On the other hand, how
insignificant was the life of the Nazareth
Carpenter who was hanged for words
which displeased the authorities of his
time, and of his few true disciples dis
seminated all over the world yet how
enormous the result.
Anarchism is a striking sign of the
times. It is the beginning of the ruin ol
the old order of things. And when the
old is falling to pieces it is impossible to
build. All that is possible as such a time
is to prove the lawfulness of this ruin,
the possibility and necessity of a new
construction, and to show the founda
tions upon which it can be done. In
times like ours, when thi, existing order
of things is giving way under its own
weight, what men are especially in want
of is a beacon which would attract aud
save them. And it is this beacon of true,
genuine Christianity which we must en
deavour not to obscure. This is the
most important and faithful work which
we can do. Let us therefore keep for it
all our strength. Let us use our chief
jxertion, all our efforts, and give all our
attention to it, in order not to deviate
from the truth, not to diminish it, not
voluntarily to yield to any compromise.
If in our lives we are not able to fulfill
perfectly the truth which we know, then
let the fault of this lie solely in our im
perfection and weakness, but not in our"
willful curtailing or deterioration of the
truth. Let us seek the kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and steadily be
lieve that all these things (including our
influence upon other men) shall be added
unto us.
Your work is especially dear to me in
that you are not afraid of professing the
whole truth without those limitations,
by the means of which it is rendered
powerless. I, therefore, highly appreciat
ed your article in the Young Methodist.
In order that fire should burn, that fire
which Christ desired to send to earth, it
is necessary that it should be fire, and
not an extinguished smouldering torch.
It may be said by some that such a
view of the duty of a Christian in our
time must tend to inactivity and apathy
but that will be said only by those who
have not yet had any experience in the
matter, and such an opinion would not
only be unfair, but entirely opposed to
the truth. A Christian with such a view
as to his duty, in our time, has before
him a life of vast and arduous activity,
that will require a great amount of
spiritual energy. His activity may be
negative, and may consist in his efforts
to free himself from all those Pagan forms
of life in which each of us is so hopelessly
entangled, otherwise in abstaining from
all anti-Christian deeds, such as war,
lawsuits, taxes, possession of property
secured by force, in short, every act of
violence. And it (hrs activity) may be
positive, which activity is the chief one
and is always obligatory to every Chris
tian, thus: a bold confession of the whole
truth, and by means of the truth the
establishment of mutual communion
with persons scattered all over the world
who believe in the same truth.
It is earnestly to be wished that every
Christian of our time were to devote
himself with heart and soul to those two
kinds of activity. He would then feel
not only that his life is full, but how
short it is for the fulfillment of all that
is in store for him, and is required of him
by God. Your friend,
Leo Tolstoy, in London Daily Chronicle.

riatThe Hew Republic
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.
In order to intelligently appreciate the
subject, it will be necessary to notice
somewhat at length: (1) Tha condition
of society today. (2) How that condi
tion has been produced. (3) 'Whether
the producing causes ajnit of remedy.
(4) The nature of the remedy required.
(5) The applicution of the remedy. (6)
The effect of the remedy. (7) How the
revolution is to be accomplished. It is
to thesesubjects that the author devotes
his succeeding pages, which are written
in an easy, fluent manner, affording in
teresting reading even to those who read
little, and so lucid that the dullest in
tellect and those most unused to philo
sophical reasoning will find nodifflculty
in following the author in his comprehen
sive survey of conditions, his searching
aualysis of popular fallacies, his concise
portrayal of major producing factors in
present evil social conditions, and his
statesmanlike discussion of fundamental
reforms which alone can secure equality
of opportunity or establish just condi
tions which can reasonably meet the re
quirements of society today.
Frequently theemployer is placed in as
trying a condition as the employed, both
being virtually slaves to a few who have
acquired great landed interests or other
forms of wealth. The real masters of
both employers and employed are the
owners of the world's soil and its wealth.
"The owners fix the terms not only for
the toilers, but for that of their employ
ers also, and rob from both. The depen
dence of labor does not mean accepting
the wages of another; if a man have the
choice whether to do so or not, he may
accept them and still bo free. It is the
denial of this choice to both employer
and employed theconditions which give
all the footholds and means of life to the
few, and enable these to say to dispos
sessed labor, 'This world is ours, and
whether ye toil for day's wages or other
wise, ye can have no right to labor, or
place or means upon which to labor, ex
cept by our leave and upon our terms'
that constitutes the dependenceor labor.
It is this dependence that makes toil so
grinding and existence so precarious,
and that makes labor debt-ridden in spite
of all its hardships. Were it not for the
fact that the debtor is allowed his legal
exemption, and that our laws no longer
tolerate imprisonment for debt, at least
three-fourths of the race would be even
now at the absolute mercy of their credi
tors." THE CONDITION OP THE WAGE-EAIiNEIlS TO
DAY. While it is true that the theory of the
survival of the fittest when applied to
man is fundamentally false as well as in
human, it is true thatowiug to unjust
conditions, which flow from special privi
leges, a few are enjoying the iruits of the
industry of the millions with the appall
ing resultthat the musses today are forc
ed into a fierce and pitiless struggle for
existence which is at once essentially do
basing to themoraj nature, enervating
to the intellectual faculties, and destruc
tive to free government and enduring
progress.
"Whether we take the wage-worker, the
farmer,,t he mechanic or the business man,
the position of each, and his existence
even, are secured only by a fierce compe
titive struggle. Not only is that struggle
intense, but it is also precarious, as seen
in the condition of the wage-laborer
when he loses employment, of the farmer
when, unable to hold his farm, he loses it
under mortgage, or of the mechanic and
the merchant who fail in business aud
are ruined."
Very impressive is the extended notice
of the dependent condition of the wealth
producers of the world and the bitter
struggle, the forlorn battle, which they
are waging for the right to earn a little
more than a bare livelihood. The toiler
looks out upon a bountiful world, but
"knows full well that of all this wealth
he has no right to so much as a c; ust of
bread to keep from starving, except he
earn it by his labor. Nor even to labor
has he any right, except by the consent
of the owners of this wealth; for upon
the soil or its fruits an laDor muss oe ej
erted; he must have the use of these, and
tf TrinrhinAI-v All rt tools, and must enter
the employ of these owners, who are thus
his masters.
Inventions which should have Blessed
Humanity are made & Curse to the
Millions.
The growth of labor-saving machinery,
which should have proved an unalloyed
blessing to the race by reducing the time
required for manual labor and giving to
the children of men ample time for culti
vation of brain aud soul aud for whole
some recreation, has proved a curse
rather than a blessing to the toiling mill
ions, putting them ever and ever more
completely in the power of the few who
are in reality the masters of the millions.
"The servant machinery makes the ser
vant man superfluous. That such is the
effect of machinery is self-evident, from
its labor-saving, labor-dispensing power.
That labor shares no part of the gain is
certain: and why should it? itself a mere
commodity, it has no part in the mate
rial, the machine, or the product; it sells
its services when it can, and receives its
pay, and that is the end so far as it is
concerned. That labor, however, loses
its employment is no less certain; for if
capital have a new servant that cheaply
can do so much, what folly it would be
to employ the oldl let capital now give
employment to all the labor that offers
itself, and the world's markets are at
once glutted. Hence labor is tramping
the country vainly for work, and daily
losing employment, because no longer
required."
The condition of the farmer boy is
scarcely less pitiable, and another start
ling fact which is well worthy of notice,
is that with eaeJ-ecUrring panic or
financial crisis, those engaged in other
lines of industry and in business are be
ing carried with irresistible force toward
the condition of the mechanic and the
farmer.
"We are, it is said, a nation of debtors;
and pre-eminently is this true of the busi
ness men of the country. Scarce one in
a hundred buis doing businesson credit,
purchasing on credit, selling on credit. It
is impossible for any of them at any time
to say what they are worth. When col
lections are good and they are able to
pay their bills, they seem to succeed; but
in adverse times when their debtors can
not pav, they are brought face to face
with the fact that ruin ever impends.
Many of them fail with each recurring
crisis, only to again attempt rising to
their feet; others, by the most desperate
exertions, are barely able to maintain
their credit; few, indeed, rise into the
ranks of wealth and independence. For
one that really succeeds, there are, in all
the walks of toil and honest industry,
hundreds who fail."
THE PRIVILEGED CLASSES.
In a chapter dealing with the privileg
ed classes Mr. Call turns the searchlight
upon the dark places of our political and
economic system, and revealsroot causes
of want in a clear, incisive manner, which
will prove anything but pleasing to the
barnacles of society. If there is any
thing which an arrogant plutocracy
fears, it is a complete unmasking of the
real causes which are forcing millions to
lives of hopeless drudgery in a land of
marvellous wealth, when under just con
ditions every man and woman who chose
to work might soon become the owner
of a home, and gain a position where
age would not have terror from possible
want, and where the children who came
into the home would be properly educat
ed, and would also be able to enter active
life with a more pleasing prospect before
them than hopeless servitude and per
haps a homeless old age. When the truth
that the misery which tens of thousands
of industrious people suffer and the ever
present dread which haunts millions of
lives are due to monstrous crimes which
are entrenched behind partial and cruel
paternalstie laws, and the refusal on the
part of society to accept the great basic
truth that the earth belongs to the peo
ple, and not to a few people; when the
slow-thinking masses who for so many
weary ages have allowed themselves to
be hoodwinked by the tools of the privi
leged classes, awaken to the truth that
by uniting at the baliot they can change
the current of affairs, aud in so changing
may bring about, not nihilism or ruin,
but a bloodless and glorious revolution
which shall help humanity upward as
well as onward, and radiate the sunshine
of happiHess over a heart-heavy world
then will dawn the hour of Humanity's
most splendid triumph; the hour -which
shall entitle man to be called a rational
being.
Today while the toilers of the wprld
are engaged in a desperate struggle for
"a precarious subsistence, they see
around them the lavish wealth and idle
splendor of the rich;" a specticle which
alone, if they would but stop and think,
would effectively set at naught all the
fine-spun fallacies and explanations of
the minions of plutocracy. They would
also jKjrceive that while "their own des
perate exertions furnish them only a
scanty living," the favored clnssos are
"vying with each other in a mud race to
spend their hoards forvulgardisplay and
for every luxury and indulgence known
to man," while, furthermore, their for
tunes, despite their reckless waste of un
earned weulth, "are growing from year
to year. No comparision can be made
between the condition of the poor and
that of the millionaire; imagination can
scarce bridge over the distance between
them. Yet in this new world the million
aire is of recent origin."
"When it is considered that less than
thirty thousand men already own hall
the entire wealth of this country of some
sixty million inhabitants, and that the
number and wealth of the enormously
rich is fast increasing, the poverty of the
masses may be accounted for. The poor
aud the rich live in the same world; and,
however enormous may be the posses
sions of the one, or inoagre the scant
earnings of the other, these are alike
drawn from the same fund; labor exerted
upon the soil or upon the products of the
soil is the source of all wealth. If, then,
the few have such disproportionateshare
there must be little left, for the many.
Just iu proportion as the rich grow
relatively richer must the poor grow
relatively poorer. When we see the mil
lionaire heaping up his hundreds of mill
ions iu the course of a single lifetime, we
may aud must expect to see laborgetting
less' than its share, and poverty increas
ingfand this is borne out by the actual
facts; in large centers where millionaires
moBt abound, the squalor and poverty
ol the poor is most general and most
extreme. This is, indeed, but the law of
simple arithmetic; one-half the nation's
wealth of labor's gains being given to
thirty thousand men, there remains but
one-half to divide among theBixty mill
ion others. It is also tho law of organic
life: if . the vitality be absorbed to
plethora by one part of the body, all
other parts must be enfeebled thereby.
"It is not, then, because the world is
too small or too niggard, it is not be
cause nature refuses to yield to man's
labor enough wealth for all his needs,
that the many poor are living in misery
and dying of want."
Mr. Call clearly establishes the import
ant fact that "The oppressed condition
of labor is not due to any pressure of
population upon subsistence; the world is
large enough, but it is appropriated and
withheld from use." Yet even under such
manifestly unjust conditions, when so
little of the appropriated earth is actively
employed, wealth is created in abund
ance, but the distribution of this wealth
makes the millionaire and the proletariat
He next emphasizes the fact that "The
rich are exempt from any struggle for
existence like that of the poor man,"
and that it is by exemption from that
struggle and through enjoyment of privi
leges that the colossal lortunes are ac
quired. TO BE CONTINUED.

the departments of Political Study,
Social science, Education, etc.
During the atternoon Mrs. Colby gav
a most instructive talk upon correct
dress and physical culture. We only wish
every woman aud girl in Nebraska could
have heard her.' She rt'ould have realized
most vividly the beneficial effect of cor
rect dress and proper breathing upon
the moral, mental and physical nature.
Mrs. Irene Hemandey, of Chadron,
gave a number of recitations which de
menstrated her splendid ability in that
line.
"The Right of Trial by a Jury of One's
Peers,"by Mrs. Stanton, being especially
fine.
Mrs. Colby gave her lecture, "Margaret
Fuller," which was highly appreciated.
The resolutions adopted by the con
vention called upon women throughout
the state to take up the work of the
association, rejoiced in the continued evi
dence that woman's ballot is a powerful
good in Wyoming and Colorado, appre
ciating the generosity of political parties
in putting women upon their tickets;
congratulating the women of Utah upon
their bright prospects of enfranchise
ment; extending to our beloved and
honored national president, Susan 1?.
Anthony, congratulations on herrestora
tion to health and activity. Also, ex
pressing our reverence and affection for
the honorary president of the national
association, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
and rejoicing that the eightieth anniver
sary of her birth is to be fittingly cele
brated Nov. 12th by the National Coun
cil of Women. Also, lamenting the denth
of Hon. E. M. Correll of Hebron, Nebr.,
an earnest champion of woman's cause,
and extending to Mrs. Correll onr sym
pathy and expressing the hope that she
may be strengthened to contiuue the re
form and journalistic work in which her
husband was so distinguished. Also in
memory of Mrs. Amelia Rloomerof Coun
cil Bluffs, one of the earliest and most
earnest advocates of Woman Suffrage,
and the editor of "The Lily," the first
woman suffrage paper, who has passed
from earth life since our last annual
meetimg. We teuder to her husband,
D. C. Bloomer, always loyal to woman's
cause, the assurance that he is remem

one, and the plan of work adopted for
the coming year, of which we will give a

promises to be fruitful of good results.
The Social Body
Before the coming of Jesus Christ, the
prophet of humanity, the most sublime
conception of the Deity which man had
been able to form was that contained in
the Jewish religion. The old Hebrew
prophets had given their message to the ,
one nation which was able to receive it.
Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is one
Lord." Rutin the dullness of time there
came forth from this peculiar people the
world prophet for whom the ages had
been waiting, whose message was and
is aud ever shall be, Hear oh, Humanity
the Lord or Lord is One Man. That is
the meaning of the Incarnation. The In
carnation realized by Jesus in himself
must grow until all mon recognize that
they and the Father are one. It is im
possible to recognize the oneness of hu
manity until we realize the oneness of
humanity with God. Humanity is the
body of God, and "We are members one
of another." We are members of the
body of God exactly as thedifferent parts
of our individual bodies are members ,
thereof, and as a hurt to one part of the
body is felt throughout the entire organ
ism, so a hurt to any mmber or set of
members of the great soWul body is a
hurt to all. As each member of the
physical body has a specific duty to per
form not for its own individual good out
for tho good of all, it shares equally with
all other members in that which is tne
life source and substance of all. In the .
body there cnu be no warring of mem
bers one with another, each must have v
its just share of that development which
will mark its individuality and fit it for
the purpose for which it was ordained.
Human beings in which certain bodily
members are abnormally . developed,
cramped or put to unnatural uses, we
call monstrosities, "freaks." What shall
we call a state of society whidh seems to
exist for the furtherance of the most hor
rible inequality amoug its members? Is
it not time that we who call ourselves
Christians, meaning by this that we are
believers in the teachings of the prophet
of Nazareth, should seek to apply bis
teachings to the right ordering of the
body of which we are members? All the
teachings of Jesus relate to the duty of
man lu hin ft-llow men, and arc based be
yond possibility of doubt on this funda
mental scientific, philosophic and relig
ious fact of the oneness of humanity.
When that great principle has been
ncknowledged by individuals,' methods
rightly living it out will present

You have been waiting a long time

you cannot see it by this time. How
long do you intend to serve these mas
ters? Mauy of you have grown gray
in their service already and your
bodies, like your land, are wearing
out You are depriving yourself and
your families of comforts and necessi
ties that you and they are entitled - to
and could have, if you would lay aside
your party prejudice and do your duty
as a patriot, citizen, husband and
father. Would you see your few de
clining years given to financial peace,
comfort and happiness? Of course you
would, and you should, but you will
wait in vain for it unless you do some
thing yourself. What is your duty in
this matter ''Washington Republic. .

We Americans are the most accom
modating people on earth. We will do
anything the money gang of England
asks. We obeyed the English gold
bugs when they asked us to demone
tize silver so they could speculate on
appreciated gold. We not only lost
millions of dollars by this accommodat
ing act, but the gold-bugs made mil
lions. They made millions otf of the
United States, and are now making'
millions off the Orient selling our de
preciated silver to the Japanese and
Chinese governments. These English
money gamblers reap two harvest at
one and the same time all through the
accommodating acts of the people of
this country. They reap a golden har
vest, and now they are gathering in
the shekles from the clouds with sil
ver linings. What a lot of 'gawky
suckers we Americans are! Southern
