The lecture of Stepniak at University Hall last Saturday evening, was one that sliould have been patronized. To be sure a person was obliged to pay close attention to understand all he said, but he was so enthusiastic in his theme, so filled with the wrongs of the Russian people that must be righted, that it could not but impress those who listened to him.

They were ñothing of the kind, but a political party in Russia composed largely of the very best people of the empire, who were workiug, not even for a republic, but for a constitutional monarchy, similar to what England and Italy have, and for freedom of speech and of the press, which is now a thing unknown. He said the rriticism of the American people and press liad more influence than those of any other nation, and although no Russian journal dare copy or print any of them, yet they found their way to the masses of the Russian people by other means.

Ann Arbor town people because they object to losing some of their territory and considerable assessable property ; and Ann Arbor city people because they do not believe in paying the mayor and city councilmen for their labor. And vet there is not a business man iu the city who would thinkoi' hav, ing his business attended to even iu an indifferent manner without paying for the same. The argument used, however, is that the aum of $100 would not tend to better the class of men seeking tobe councilmen, butlower thestandard, for men totally unfltted to flll the positions would then seek them for the $100 there was in it, and would not have the pride of a good record that now spurs them on for the glory there is iu it.
