Short Crops In Russia.

The Minister Of the United States
at st. Petersburg, in recent speech
to the Department Of State, draws q
gloomy picture of the present econ.
omic and social condition of Russia.
The grain crop Of the past season, he
states, has proved q failure, and
American wheat is imported now
even at st. Petersburg. It Is also
entering at Odessa and other Russian
ports. But a large market for this
American cereal cannot be predicted.
as very little bread made Of wheat Is
used in Russia; the mass Of the peO.
pie must have q cheaper and coarser
such as rye or Indian corn.
The scarcity of grain In the empire
is so great that 1t WAS currently re.
ported and generally believed that the
imperial government was considering
the propriety Of prohibiting the OK.
portatiOn of rye. There will be much
suffering among the poor classes.

The history of State debts may
properly be said to date from the
year 1880, when the States of this
Union owed only about $l3,OOO,OO.
During the next seven years. the
greater part of the debt which caused
so much financial embarrassment In
lS4l-42 was contracted, and the
State governments laid the founda.
ton for q series Of financial disasters
which have since overtaken many of
our States, and disgraced us both
home and abroad. The increase in
the whole public debt Of the States
from 1880 to 1910 amounted $l78,.
400 ,084. In 1880 the aggregate States

HOPE FOR THE REGAIN BILL.

1t is pleasing to know that the State of Ne
vada has at least one representative IN Con-
gress who realizes the facS that he Is there to
work for the people. Some weeks ago Gov
srnor Kinkead wrote to Congressman Daggett
regarding the artesian wells to be sunk in Ne
vsda, and received in reply letter, which,
among other things, gives the cheering intel
ligenee that there is still some hope for anti
railroad legislation in Congress. Under date
of February 20, Daggett says:
You are right about the arteslan we'll busl-
ness | think the school land exchange will
be made. | am pressing 1t vigorously before
the Land Committee, and should the bill be-
come law, the State can sell its land through
offering inducements similar to those OF the
contemplated artesian project by Congress.
Under the circumstances, shall not introduce

and as the report has gone forth that L have an
Artesian bill in preparation, l would be glad
if you would see that the people OF Nevada
are appraised of the reason why its Introduction
has neen deferred The Reagan bill is not
dead-not by great deal. Taroagh railroad
influence the majority of the Committee on
Commerce has been induced to report sub
stitute bill, but do not believe it can be put
through the House. The original purpose was
to make no report at all after this strange
change had been wrought in the committee;
bat the public pressure became so great, and
charges of Legitimate influence with the com
mittee were So openly limited at in Congress
and emrhatically made by such of the news
papers as were not in railroad pay, that the
committee have finally consented to report all
the railroad bills back to the House on the
fourth Wednesday in March. This will open
the three of them to discusson-Jnst what
the railroad people do not want. 1t will be
our purpose to secure a substitution of the
Reagan bill for the one reported by the major
itv of tie committee. And right there the
fight will be made; and it will be warm one.

AN INTERESTING FIGHT.-An Exchange has
the following: A man living at Dooly, Ga,
was looking for some hogs which had been
missing for several days, and was nearing the
river, when he heard COW believing. Upon
going to the bank of the river, he saw on a
sand bar an alligator, a COW and young calf.
The alligator was between the cow and calf
and the river The alligator made a dart af
ter the calf, when the rushed between
them, and a fearful fight eusued. While this
was raging, the calf got into the woods and
faced about, bleating plaintively. The alllga
tor was not more than seven feet long, and
struck at the cow furiously with its tail. The
COW avoided as many of the blows as possible,
but received number, one of which knocked
her rolling over for about ten feet. The ALL
gator rushed upon her with open mouth, and
tried to seize her by the nose but she was up
in time to horn the alligator under the throat
and throw it over backward, and before 1t had
time to strike another blow, or defend itself,
she was upon it. She tossed the saurian high
in the air, and it fell into the water with a
splash, and did not venture to the land again.
The COW, after rushing around, looking for
her enemy, ran to her calf and made tracks
through the woods for her home, looking back
occasionally TO see if she was pursued.
