All classes, and especially bright
young business men and mechan

ditions. Daily world news if colored by
opinion and sentiment, readers
prefer to interpret; media being
unavoidable. More than the deep
pathos of Sandpas carnage and
many wounded, perishing in the
snow; more than the issue of the
battle field scenes and more than
present occurrences throughout all
the Russias. Conservative read
ers and others not averse to more
light, keep asking, "what is it all
about?"
According to late dispatches
some answer is this: The good
people of Russia ask representative
government, prompt, actual great
reformBjopposing lawlessness. They
are averse to deposing the Czar.
The monarchists principle as
per Sergins, upheld by the sword
concedes nothing. Conservative
readers of the news believe that
after passion s horrid sway, great
Russia, purified as by fire, will
speedily reap the rewards of that

Report that the grape-shot fired
at Imperial family, by Bogauoff,
student-revolutionist of 1st Horse
Artillery, alleged to be discovered
by Commission was unconfirmed.
As interviewed, Vladimir, ithor
ough Russian , and dark -haired
veteran, and Chief Commander,
tells how hev under pressure, -Will
give the people a voice jand hear
ing too. He would justify the
killing 126 people, some necessar
ily innocent-r-troopa will die in
street for Empire. He was sur
nrised at England and America's
indignation. He can not conceal
the crisis or the many elements of
discord, especially at Warsaw and
Kieff, a constitution degrades peo
ple.the ballot enslaves them; would
dispoil Provinces including Fin
land and Poland. (?) Virtually
self-government would make ex
iles. Thus Vladimir misses his
life's oportunity; he will not be a
Moses or a Victor Emanuel, he
denies his brother's keeper.
Japanese soldiers freeze at Sand
pas. Bombarding and skirmishing
continues. Principles of action
underlying all t is great foreign
news, very many believe are; God
punishes nations as well as indi
viduals because of sin, that there
is present sacrifice of human blood,
as so often the case in past history,
all brought about by great wrongs
and after long conflicts and many
compromises. Peace becomes more

It's an easy matter to pose as a
reformer as long as you are out of
office.
Causes Stir.
Whenever you interfere with a
man's salary you have trouble on
your hands Dr. Gordon, of James
town, member of the House, is the
cause of it all this time. He wants
a stipulated salary for county offi
cers A report in the Telegram
says that Dr. Gordon's bill has
raised quite a stir among ti e offi
cers whose incomes will be affected
if the bill becomes a law. Here
tofore all the county officers, with
the exception of the county com
missioners, have been paid fees
instead of a salary. It is a well
known fact that some of the officers
receive much larger incomes than
the salaries proposed. v
According to Dr. Gordon's bill
the sheriff, clerk of court and reg
ister of deeds are to receive $2,000
each per annum. The clerk of
court and register of deeds are to
be allowed an additional $i,ioofdr
clerk hire, while the sheriff's dep
uties are to be allowed the fees on
the papers they serve. The treas
urer is allowed $900. and the coun
ty commissioners are not to be paid
over $50 per month!
The officers affected by the pro
posjd change are awaiting with
much interest the result. Should
the bill become a law it will not
go into tffect until Dec. 15, 1906,
or after the expiration of the pres
ent term of office. As this is the
case it is of much interest to office
seekers as the present incumbents.
It has been stated there are already
several candidates for the office of
sheriff and clerk of court already
in the field.
The bill may bring out what has
long been desired by the voters of
the county the aggregate fees of
the clerk of court and register of
deeds. They have a right to know
but the figures have only been
guessed at from $2,000 to $4,000
per annum in the register of deeds
office and from $4,000 to $8,000 in
the clerks office.

GIVES $25,000 RELIEF .FUND.
Czar Also Meets Delegation An Offi
cial Proclamation.
Favorable results are expected
to follow the audience given by
Emperor Nickolas at Tsarskoe Silo
to 32 workmen, representing the
leading industrial establishments
of1 St. Petersburg. In addition to
paternal admonitions bestowed up
on the workmen, $25,000 has been
given by the Emperor, Empress
and Dowager Empress for the re
lief of the families of those who
were killed or badly wounded in
affair of Januaiy 22. The manu
facturers of St. Petersburg have
made concessions of the strikers
and contributed to the relief
fund. The situation in Poland and
other of the provinces continues
strained, and strikes are reported
from Irkutsk and several other
Siberian towns. The retirement
of Prince Sviatopolk Mlrsky from
the ministry of the Interior, has
been acomplished in such a way as
to indicate that the Emperor is sat
isfied to be rid of a Minister of the
avowed liberal tendencies. The
forecast that M. Boutigan will be
named for Minister of the Interior
is construed as indicating a recog
nition of the predominating influ
ence of Grand Duke Sergins, who
is a nephew of the Emperor.
