MoHAMMADENs have joined in predict
ing that the world has about completed
its allotted span of years and will soon go
down to nothingness and judgment. Ell
Mehdi, the Messiah whose coming was
foretold by Mahomet, and which was to
herald the final dissolution, is on hand.
He has the Koran, the sacred book of
Islam, and is attracting quite following.
The trouble with Mr.. Ell Mehdi is that
there are three on the same mission, each
claiming to be the only, true, original
one whose coming was revealed to the
prophet. One of the heavenly visitants
is making use of carnal weapons and
earning no mean reputation as a military
chieftain. Those fanatics arrived at an
opportune time for the success of their
imposture. The devout Mohammedan
has been reading the signs which were to
precede the destruction of the earth and
thinks the time for writing fms has
come

you to go to Robinson & Hinrich' s or any

one-half of it, if it does not cure your
cough and cold, you may return the bal

money. If We can't help you we don't
want your money: but knowing that we
can help you we unhesitatingly ask you
for small portion of your gold. 1t is
very pleasant and harmless to the most

A RUSSIAN nihilist in recent confes.
sion divulges the cause of such intense
opposition to the Russian government.
1t is the tyranny of sub officials which
has driven the Russians into plots and
assassination to bring about change in
the administration of affairs. So deep
seated and determined is the opposition
to the existing state of things in that
country that the abdication of the car
need not be regarded as a senseless ru-
NOR. 1t is not only among the possibili-
ties but approaches the certainty of pro-
liability

THE nomination of Roscoe Conkl

The nomination of Roscoe Conkling to
position on the supreme bench was
surprise to every one. Opinion is divid-
ed as to the wisdom of the nomination,
his friends claiming his eminent fitness
and his enemies as strongly asserting his
lack of all judicial and legal qualifca
tions. There can be but one opinion as
to Conking's natural ability, or as to his
integrity. Whether he is profound
lawyer is question which may be dis
cussed pro and con. He certainly has
not that reputation enjoyed by Edmunds,
Davis, Thurman and many others of his
former senatorial associates. He is lack
ing in judicial turn of mind. He has
so long been political leader and as such
has 80 often sacrificed bis convictions to
expediency, has SO often employed means
to effect his purpose, which, while argu
ing no turpitude in political chieftain,
units men for Judicial fairness, has been
in political matters such an extremist,
being bitter rather thar earnest i'll his
opposition, that he seems entirely unfit
for the bench. Add to this, Conkling's
known love for display, his engrossing
desire to be before the people and the
undramatic character of a position on the
bench and we become more confirmed
in our opinion that he is appointed to
position naturally distasteful to him. If
it be true that he refused the chief Justice
ship while he was party leader, he must
now accept subordinate position with
out that feeling of elation which is essen
tial to proper discharge of the duties
of the Office. 1t is simply the filling of
place by politician relegated to OBJ
security.
On the other hand, the nomination Of
a man of one 1.-THE of Conkling's ability
who had made no enemies by active par
ticipation in politics, would be received
everywhere with satisfaction. There is
no Judge on the bench of greater natural
ability or with less tendency to corrup-
ton. In partisan matters the judges of
the supreme court have demonstrated
they can go as far in their character of
Judge as the most active politician in the
country can. The electoral commission
cannot be forgotten and the part played
by dignifed judges who did not hesitate
to soil their ermine at the behests of their
party. Even the chief justice did not
find it inconsistent with his position to
voluntarily assume the role of adviser to
those working to annul the expressed
wish of the people. 1t cannot be forgot
ten that the partisan leader had scruples
of conscience which the supreme judges
did not feel, that the man unbound bX
an oath was more disposed to do justice
than those sworn to do SO and that it was
with difficulty he was induced to do vic
lence &c his convictions while they threw
| conscience aside with readiness truly
| startling.

The Springfield Republican.
THE LEADING NEW ENGLAND
NEWSPAPER.
ENTERPRIsING -HONEST-INDEPBNDENT

Established: The Weekly in 1924; The Daily in
1874; The Sunday in 1878. by Samuel BowIes.
The Springfield Republican has long been re-
cognized as the leading and representative
newspaper of New England, and is more widely
known and quoted than any other. Its growth
and present position are unique. There is no
other daily newspaper in the world, published
in so small city, that has SO large consttu-
ency and so potent an influence on the thought
of the time. During the past year the circuia-
ton of the daily edition alone has advanced
from IL 900 to 1900. The Weekly Republican.
besides its large circulation in New England
has considerable and growing audience at the
West and South, and even abroad.
In politics, The Republican is thoroughly in
dependent and honest Its motto Isl print the
news and tell the truth about it," This il aims
to do carefully, fairly and conscientiously. 1t
has its own opinions on all public questions and
is not SLOW to express them in vigorous, intelli-
gble English, but it recognizes the rights of OPP
ponents and is not afraid to print criticisms of
itself and its views. The Republican at present
labors especially for thorough reform in the
civil service, sharp, intelligent and impartial
revision of the tariff and a sound financial sys-
TEN. 1t belongs to no party except that of re-
form. but II applauds the good and condemns
the evil in all of them.
The Republican is not simply political news
paper. Ii touches in its news reports and edi-
torial discussions every interest of life and uu-
dertakes to inform its readers of the progress
of events and of thought i'll all directions. As
New England journal il is intended 10 make
it a complete mirror Of New England life an in
diSpensable guide to every one who would know
this section and its people. 1t deyOteS large at
tention TO literature; it deals intellgently and
literally with all questions of philanthropy. So
ciai economy, ethics religion, science and in
dustry. The Republican supports large staff
of trained writers. editors and reporters, and
though published in a provincial city ii main
tains the machinery, displays the enterprise and
enjoys the facilities of a metropolitan journal
