four in particular were outspoken in their
opposition to the scheme providing for

Shrewdness That Saved a. Newspaper.

The recent suspension for six months
of the GoloS. writes a correspondent at
st. Petersburg, would have brought a
loss of no less than 10, 900 rubles to its
unfortunate editor, but, happily, pre-
cautionary measures had been taken in
time, and the authorities have been
completely tricked. Soon after the re-
turn of General Ernroth from his mis-
sion in Bulgaria, one or two articles APP
peared in the Golos exposing, in eau
tious and moderate language, the alb
surdity of shedding Russian blood for
the sake of making Bulgaria free only
to hand her over few months later to
the despotic rule of Battenberg. OF
course, the General was angry, and
thanks to the influence he enjoys in
high places. easily secured the sup
preston of the paper, and, when he had
no longer occasion to fear being an
swered, published a fillibustering let
ter, in which he accused the GOt0s of
circulating ''impudent and unfounded
lies.' But for once the bellicose Gem
eral had reckoned without his host, and
the man of the pen proved more cum
ming than the man of the sword. Among
the contributors to the Golos, Professor
Modestoff has long occupied q high and
honorable place, and some months ago
he obtained the necessary permission to
esta blish daily political paper. The
permission, it is generally reported,
was applied for in consequence of a
fear that before long the GoIos might
get into trouble, and, therefore, no i'm
mediate steps were taken to start the
new journal. Bat when the blow fell
Professor Modestoff was ready, and
within two days of the suspension the
first number of the New Gazette was
published. In form, type, political
opinions, everything save the name, it
is an exact reproduction Of the defunct
paper, and is even printed in the same
office. All St. Petersburg is laughing
at the sly trick, which, for sharp bold
ness, reminds US of Alphonse Karr,
who, when his paper La Gitepe, was
suppressed, continued to publish it with
out any title at an.-rPan Mall Gazette.
