Sre tlicy, self- willed, thov arc not afraid
to spink evil of cUgnitleV
Amid n moat reprehensible crew, Peter
here paints by odo slroke the portrait of
those who delight to slash st people in
authority, Now, wu alt lmvo a right to
Criticise evil behavior, whether ir> hipli
blares or low, but. the fact thnt on's is
high up is no proof that he ought to be
brought drown. It is a bud streak of
buranu na’iiro now, as It was iu tho time
of the text a bad streak of human nature
that succcasof uny kind excites the jealeu
antipathy of those who cannot climb the
earno steep. There was never a David on n
throne, that theto was not aome A bialoin
who wanted to get it. Th re never was
a Christ but the world bad saw and ham
mer ready to faahlou a cross oh which to
assassinate him. Out of this evil spliit
grow not only individual but national
and international defamation. To no
country baa more injustice boon done
than to our own in days that hie post
Long before Marliu Gbuzxlcwit was
printed, tho llternlure of the world scof
fed »t everything American. Victor Hugo,
as honeat ns ho wsslunequalled in litcrun
power, wna bo misinformed conccrtdnp
America that he wrote: “Tho no hi
singular thing is tho need of whittling,
with which all Americans are posa<s,ed.
It is such that on Sunduys they give tlx*
sailors little bits of wood because if they
did not they would whittle the Bhip. Ii
court, ut the moat critical moment, tin
Judge whittling, says: 'Prisoner, an
you guiltyf” and the accused trannuilh
responds, whittling: ‘I am not guilty.”’
Lord John Russell called us “A bubbli -
bursting nationality." But, our country
has at last recovered from such carles',
hue, and there Is not a street on nny
city of Europe or Asia where the won
•‘America" will not win deference. But,
there is a sister nation on the oilier nidi
of the sea now going through tho proem
of internstional defamation. There le
no souotry on earth no misunderstood in
Russia, and no monarch more misrepie-
seuted than Its empoior. Will ii not b
in the cun so of justice if I try to set riglr
the minds of these who composo this an-
S ist. assemblage and the minds of tlins,
whom, on botii Rides of the oreon,
these words shall come? If the slander o
one person is wicked, then tho slandei
of one hundred and twontypnilllon people
is on* hundred nnd twenty million time,
move wicked. In the name of right, ous-
ne»« and In behalf of civilization, arid
for tho encouragement of all those good
people who have been disheartened by
tho scandnliz.atiim of Russia, I now
sneak. But Russia Is so vast a subject
that to trest it in one discourse is like at
tempting to run Ningra falls over one
mill wheel, Do not think that the ven
marked courtesies extended me Inst sum
mer by the emptror and empress mi,I
Crown prince of Rusila lmve compliment
od me Into the advocacy of that empire,
fori shall present you authenticated
facts that will rcveisn your opin
ions, if they have bcon ' antagonis
tic, as mine were reversed, I went last
summer to Russia with as many baleful
prejudices ns would maka an avnlanc'm
from the mountain of fabrication w Ich
has for years been heap <1 up against
that empire. You ask how is it possible
that such appalling misrepresentation',
of Russia could stand? I account for it
by the fact that tho Russian bingunto it
to moat, an impartible wall. M»lign the
United Slatt-H or miilign Great Britain or
Germany or Prance, and by tho next, ca
blegram the falsehood is exposed for we
ull understand English, nnd many of our
people are familiar with Gemma and
Frcnoh. But the Ru-eliui language, beau
tiful and easy to those born to spi nk It,
is to most vocal organs an unpronounca-
ble tongu", nnd if at' St. Petersburg or
Moscow any anti Russian calumny were
denied, mast of ilia world outside of
Russia would never see or hear tho de
nial.
What are the motives for misrepresen
tation? Commercial interest and inter
national jealousy,' Russia is as large as
nil the rest, ol Eurooe put together Re
member that ant on is only a man or a
woman on a big sonic. Go into any
neighbothood of America and a k the
physician who h i a small practice "hit
he thinks of a physician who has a largo
jvnetioc, Ask 11>« lawyer who has no

io vain to transact the superabundant
I n-loess that comes to him. Ask the
tnieist r who has a vmy limited audience
wlmt. ho thinks of tho minister who has
oveiflowing audiences. Why doca not
Europe like Ru-sio? Bicmso bite has

tia s n- long as North and South Ameri

“do you itv an to charge the authors and
lecturers who have written or spoken
against Russia with falsehood?" By no
mean-. You can find in any city or na
thru evils innumerable if you wish to
discourse about thorn.
1 a ill at 8t. I'etetsburg to tho most
etnii eat Indy of Russia out ide of the im
perial family: “Are tkoso stories of cru
elly mid outrage that I have heard and
read about true?" She replied: “No.
doul t -ome of them are true, but do ja\ij
not in America eveu have officers of the
law cruel and outrageous ill their treat
ment of oil. inlets? Do you not havo in
stance' where th; police havo clubbed in
nocent persona? Have you no inatanoes
where people in brief authority act ar
rogantly!’ I replied: “Yes,‘we do."
Then, iba said: "Why does the world
bold our government responsible for et-
ceptionnt outrages? As soon ns ntt offi

loses his place. "Then I bethought myself t
Do llte people in America bold the govern
ment it Washington responsible for the
Homestead riots at Pittsburg, or for rail
road resurrections, orfot the torch of the
villiau that consumes n block of homes, or
for the rufflaua who arrest a rail train,
making the passengers hold up their
arms until the pickets are nicked? Why
then l old the emperor of Russia, who is
an inipre-sivo nnd genial limn ns I have
evtr looked at or talked with, resoonei-
bbt for the wrongn enacted in a nation
with a population twice us large in num

pose one monarch in Europe ruled over
England, Scotland, Ireland, France,
Germ ray, Spain, Italy, Austria, Norway
and Sweden. Would it be fair to hold
tha mouaicb responsible for all that on-
cuned iu that mighty dominion? Now,
you must renu mber that A lexnnder III.
reigns over wid. r dominion than nil
those empires put together. As a n ition
is only a man or a woman on a big scale,
let me ask, would y u individually
prefer to be judged by your faults or
your virtues? All people, except our
selves, It ive faults.

I7?!S, or lliereiibouts, offered kindly in-
terference that our thirteen colonies
might not go down under the cruelties
of vire. Again, in 1B1 ii, Russia stretch-
od forth reward us a merciful hand.
When our dreadful civil war was rnging
and Die two thunder clouds of northern
and southern valor,clashed, Russia practi
cally said to the nations of Europe:
Keep your hands off and let the bravo
men of tho north and the nnutlt settle
iheir own troubles," I rehearsed somo of
•hose scorn s to tho emneror Inst July,
saying: 1 ‘You were probably too young
to remember the position your father
took . t that time,” but with radiant
smile lie responded: "Oh, yes, I re
number, I remembir," and there was an
ncccutnntiou of the words which demou-
stint'd to me that Iheso occurrei eoa had
often licen talked of In the imperial
household, i stood on New York bai-
icry, dining the war as 1 suppose many
of you did, looking off through a magni
fying glass upon a fie. t of Russian ships
"What are they doing there?” I asked,
and so ev ry one a-kod: "What busl-
nei-s lmve tlie Russian warships in our
NiwYnik harbor?" Word came that
mother fleet, of Russian ships was in Bail
Frnnci.-co harbor. "What does this
mean?" our rulers asked, but did not get
immediate answer. In there two Amer
ican harbors, the Russian fleets siemcd
sound asleep and Ihe Russian flag, wheth
er fl int, ng iu the air or drooping by the
tl lystuffl, mndo no answer to out' inquisi
tiveness. William II. Seward, secretary
of state, asked the Russian minister at
Washington, the meaning of ihoso Rus
sian ships iu Amerienn waters, and got
no satisfactory response Admiral Fur-
rngut said t. > a Russian officer after dining
in the hum ■ of tho oinincnt polit oiau,
Thu low Rood, that maker arid unmaker
of presidents: "What are you doing
bore wit it those Russian vessels of war?"
N"t until tho war was over was it found
out that 111 ease of foreign intervention
nil the guns nnd the last, gun of these two
fleets iu New York and San FrnncUoo
harbors were to open in full diapason
upon any foreign ship that should dare
to interfere with the right of Americans,
north nnd routb, to settle their own con
troversy. Hut. for those fleets, in our
presence In Ainoiioan waters, there cau
be no doubt that two of the mightiest
nailot s of Europe would have mingled
In our fight, Hut for those two flouts,
the American government would hive
been today only a natnti in history. I"
declare before God and the nntion
th'at I believe that Russia saved
tha United States of America.
List July I rtood lie-
fore a grcai throng of Hussiiina in the
eiiihnrr isslng position of spanking to an
audience threr--fourths of which cold not
understand my latiuimge any more than
I O' uld m-deistand thelts. But there
weri two names that they thoroughly un
derstood us we 1 as you understand them,
and tlie utterance of ihose two names
brought forth uo acclamation that mad''
tho city hall of St-. Potersbuig qtnko
from foundation a 1 one to tower, and
those two ii«nim were "Geoigo Wnshiug-
ton” Rtid "Abraham Lincoln." Now. is
it i ot important that wo slvuld feel
right toward that mighty, that God-giv
en fri' ml, of more than one hundred
year-? Y'H, In cause it is a nation of
more possibilities than any other except
our own should we cultivate its friend
ship There is a vsrt realm of Russia as
yet unoccupied. If the population of
tlie rest of Europe were poured into Rus
sin, it would ho only partially occupied.
After a vvliilo, America will lie so well
populated that tha tides of emigration
will go the other way, and by
railroads from Russia at Behring
Straits-—where Asia comes within thirty-
six miles of joining America—millions of
people w II pour down through Russia
nnd Siberia, and on down through all
tho regions waiting for the civlliz ition o'
tho ilex' century to emue and culture
great harvests and build mighty cities.
What tho United State* now are on the
Western Hemisphere, Russia will be on
the Eastern Hemisphere. Not only be-
oiuso of what Russia has been to our
republic but became of what she will be,
let us cense tlie deiausatimi of all that
pertains to that great empire. If Russia cam
afford to be the friend of America, Amer
ica cau afford to be the friend of Russia.
And now I proceed to do what I told the
emperor and empress and all the imperial
family at the palace of Pcterhof l would
do if 1 ever got. back to Amerioa, and
Hist ia to answer somo of tho calumnies
which have been announced and reitera
ted and stereotyped against Russia.
Calumny the First: The emperer and
all the imperial family nre in perpetual
dicud of sssnsslnatiou. They are practi
cally prisoners in the winter palace, and
trenches with dynamite have been found
dug around ilie winter palace. They
dare not venture fourth, except preceded
mid followed mid surrounded by a most
elaborate military guard.
My answer to this is that I never sow
a face more free from 'comment than the
emperor’s face. The winter palace,
around which the trenches are said to
have been charged with dynamite and in
which the imperial faimljuro said lo lie
prisoners, has never beerothe risidenceof
the imperial family one moment since
the present emperor has been on the
throne. That winter pnlneo has been
changed into n museum aud a picture
gall'ry and a place of great levees. He
spends his summer in the palace at Pe-
terh 'f, filt cn or twenty miles from St.
Petersburg; his autumns at Gatschina,
and his winters in a palace at St. Peters
burg, but in quite a different part of the
city to that qccupicd bythe winter palace.
He rides through the streets unatteuded,
exrent hv the < repress at bis side and the
driver an i lia bo*. Thisre Is Mol a person
in thili ftodlniihfl mole free from fear of
harm than he is. His subjects not only
admire Jiim jmt almost worship him.
'I here are cranks in Rti sia, but lmve we
not bail our Charles Guitaau and John
Wilkes Booth? “But," says somo one,
"did not the Russians kill Ihe father of
the pr« sent emperor?” Yes, hut in the
time thnt Russia lias bad one assassina
tion i femper. r, America linS had two
president* assassinated. "Htit is not the
emperor ab ntiiticrat?" Ry which yon
Itleab; biis he not power witholn restric
tion? Yis, hut it nil deponds upon what
use a liian makes of his power. Are you
an autocrat in your factory, or an auto
crat in your store, or an autocrat in your
style of business* It all depends upon
what, use you make of your power, wheth
er to h c«s or to oppress, and from the
time of Paler the (treat—that Russiau
who Was the Wonder of all time, the em
peror who lieCatb" incogntt i a ship car
penter that he might. In-Ip ship oarpeu-
tera, and a ttici hnnib that lie might help
mechanics, and put on poor men’s garb
thnt he blight svrbpatluzc with men, and
who in his Inst word* said: “My lord, 1
am dying. Oil, help my unbelief.” I
say from that time the throne of Rii'sin
has for the most part been occupied by
rulers as beneficent nnd kind and sympa
thetic as they were powerful. To go no
further back I ban Nicholas, the grand
father of the present emperor. Nicholas
had for thb dominant Idea ol bis admin-
ls‘ration I lib emancipation of tbe serfs.
Wlion it was found that ho premeditated
tho freedom of tbe serfs, he received the
following le'ter of threat from a deputa
tion of noblemen: “Your Imperial Maj
esty: We lenrn thnt tho council and sen
ate of the empire havo before them for
deliberation,with your sanction, tho plan
to abolish serfdom throughout the Rus
sian empire. We nre perfectly willing to
nliide by your maje-iy’s dei ision in this
matter nnd to loyally support your will,
but there arc in Kuss'a a large l umber of
-mall owners of seifs, who are dependent
for actual subsistence on tho labor of
those serfs and who consequently will be
left wholly penniless nnd without any
resources by the operation of emanci
pation. They will then un
doubtedly resort to desperate meas
ures,and in the extremity of their despair
will put tho life of your majesty in
jeopardy." Tho emperor replied in
words that will Inst es long as history:
"Gentlemen, if I should dlo hecanse of my de
votimi in sinili a cause, I am wiling to meet my
fine.” When under all stinck of pneumonia
from exposure to sever-' weather in tlie -III vice
of 1 Is people, that, emperor put down Ids head
on Ihe pillow of dust, Itossia lost »s good a
monarch ns wns over crowned. Then esme
Alexander II, tlie fattier of the presold empe

numerable protests, lw, with ons stioko of tit*
pen, einniioipati d 20.000,000 serfs, practically
saying: "Go free, itu your own masters, anil
this Is for you and your children forever.” On

Violence ala ays dooo What a marvelous ohar-
noler of klndne-s was Alexander If, die father
of die present emperor, so that the present
emperor, Alexander the Third, inherits Ids be
nignity. Alexander tno Second, in arm.' tnu is
nobi man had formed a conspiracy against Ids
life, had turn arrested. Then tho eyes of the
criminal were bandaged, and ho was'put in*-,
carriage, and for same time traveled on, only
stopping for fond. After awhile tlie bandage
was removed, arid supposing that he must By
that Itmo iuiTO been almost in Siberia, found
that ha was at the door or his own home. Jim
this punishment was suffloient. Th < same em
peror having Imai d that a poet had written a
poem dofiimutoiy of his empress, ordered tlie
poet Into hie presence, Eiptci ng great sever
ity, the poet entered tho palaoe. and found the
emperor and cmpr.ss and dukes and dashes*
gathered togeiher. “Goodmowing,"l-id the

And now comes in Alexander tho Third, doing
the best things possible for tho nation which lie

what an undertaking to rale ono honored and

not believe that out o live tm drt-d thonaand
ltusslans you wold find more limn one person
who dishkos the empoior, and so that calumny
of dread or assassination drops so fiat it can
tall no flat'er.
Calumny the Second. If you go to Russia,
you are under sever, si e-ploiiuge, stopped tiers
and questioned them, and in danger of arre t.
but my opinion is that if a mint is disturb d iu
Itu-sis, it is because he ought to be di turbi d.
Uimsia is tlie only onnntrv in Europe in which
my baggage was not oxurntn- d. I on risd In my

There is ten times more difficulty in getting
your baggage through tlie American custom
house than (htougli tlie Russian. I speak not
for Ulya If, for friends hit reeded for mo i n
American wharves, and 1 am not detained. I
was several days in Russia b fora I was asked

Calumny ttie Third! Russia and its rulerara
so oppo-ed to any other religion except the
QICC, religion, that they will not allow sny
oilier religion, that nothing but persecution
anil linpnsoiiment and outrage intolerable
await tlie disciples of any other religion, llut
what are tho fsoi-? I Imd a long ride in Si.
Pole sburg and its suburbs with tlie prefect, a
brilliant, efficient amt lovely mail, who is tho
highest oific.al ill tho city of St. Petersburg,
and whoso chief business is to attend to the
emperor. I said to him: "I suppose that vour
religion is that of thu Greek church?" "No,”
said he, "I am a Lutheran." "What is your re
ligion?" I-aid lo one of tin highest mil moat,
intlui utial officials at Bt. Petersburg. He said:
"I am of the Church o England." Myself, an
Amerio ti, of still another denomination ot
Christians, and never having been inside of
a Greek church in my life unti I went lo Rus
sia, could not have reo ivod mor consideration
had I ln-eii baptm d in ihe Greek church and
all mi lif , worshipped at her altars. I had it-
demon-1rated to me veiy plainly that a man’s

Tlie only quo-tious taken into such cousid-ra

this, have you forgotten that the Crimean war,
which shook tlie oarth. grew out of Russia’s

SUHMAIUNK ( AHIjKS.
Tlieir Miiiiiitiio‘iire uml tho Strips from
Which They Are Laid.
The inunufucturo of submarine rubles
tins until quite lately never reached a
large scale in nny country except, England.
Some years ago Messrs, l’irclli established
factories at Spezzla and -Milan, Italy, for
tin: purpose of engaging in the manu
facture of submarine cables, and with
the assistance of the Italian Government
they li ve laid a tew short cables in tin)
Mediterranean, but they havo never had
an opportunity of carrying out any really
important cuhle-layiug work. When, iu
18B1), the French Government.insisted on
assuming control of the telephone, and
bought out tlie Paris Telephone Com
pany, tho latter, which had already
begun to dabble in submarine telegraph
enterprises, decided to invest its capital
in a submarine cable factory. Work on
tiiis was begun iu 1800, r.ud last summer
a full fledged submarine cable factory
was inaugurated nt Calais. The company
lias orders for u considerable amount of
cable, and expects iu future to do all the
work that the French Government may
require. In America, although sub
marine cables of groat excellence havo
boon made for Many years by such firms
as tho ■Rimwp Gutta Perch* Company
and A. G. Day, these have ohiy buon in
comparatively abort lengths, for river and
harbor crossings. To the Bishop Gutta
Pqrcha Company, I believe, belongs tho
honor of being the only American manu
facturer that lias ever shipped a subma
rine cable abroad.
A word or two is now in place about
the ships from which cables arc laid and
repaired. In 1805 ttie Great Eastern
wus the only vessel afloat that could ship
the entire Atlantic cable. She took it nil
on board with ease, aud could have
managed another bad it been necessary.
The capacity of tho Great Eastern, which
magnificent failure, by the way, wus
lately disposed of lor old metal, was 20,-
000 tons. To-day there are three or four
completely equipped telegraph steamers
of about one-quarter the tonnage of the
disintegrated leviathan which uro easily
capable of laying an Atlantic cable in a
single voyage. The fleet of cable ships
to-day numbers about forty vessels,
ranging in size from a few hundred tons
up to live thousand. The majority of
these electro mechanical crafts are re
pairing ships belonging to tlie various
telegraph companies and government ad
ministrations which own submarine
cables. Those repairing ships are sta
tioned nt points of vantage along the
great lines of cable eommuuicutiou,
ready to steam otT at a moment's notice
to the locality of any fault or break that
may occur. The construction companies
own between them some ten or twelve
ships, most of them large vessels of
several thousand tons burden with one or
two smaller and more nimble steamers
that do useful service in surveying, as
consorts for their more bulky sister ships,
and for luying short cables.
Tlie two largest ships, the Bilvertown
ami the Faraday, were both designed for
cable-laying purposes. The first named
vessel is provided with most enormous
tauks, measuring fifty-three feet iu
diameter by thirty feet deep. Site has a
larger carrying capacity than any other
tolegraph steamer afloat. On one ex
pedition she sailed from the Thames with
nearly 2,400 miles of cable, weighing
4,880 tons, and n considerable quantity
of coal, of which very necessary com
modity she lias accommodation for up
ward of 2,300 tons. The large tauks of
the Bilvertown enable her to pay out
cable at a very high rate of speed, such
huge coils unwinding very readily. Tlie
Faraday was designed by the late Sir
William Siemens especially for submarine
cable laving. She was built the same
fore and aft, and is provided with n
rudder at the stem as well as at the
stern; it was thought that this arrange
ment would greatly facilitate maneuver
ing when the ship was engaged in somo
of the more delicate operations incident
to cable laying that require very careful
handling of the vessel, but us a matter of
fact the peculiar buiid of the Faraday
has not been found of any particular
benefit in this respect.—[Electricity.

‘ ‘ For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
abottleof August Flower. Itseem-
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me.”
