For this reason, | think, a bond OF
sympathy exists between the Russians
and the Americans, and the difference
in their form of government only in
tensifes that feeling. They hate the
Germans, and | believe that is the
only people they do hate. A war with
that nation would be very popu-
lar: They do not hate Englishmen,
though one would naturally suppose
they have good reasons for enmity. On
the contrary, they laugh at him good
naturedly and pass him off as a joke.

treated better in my life than i'll Rus

tionalsts and very entertaining. They
resemble American ladies in manners,
never appearing awkward or at loss
for something to say.
NIHILIsM is RARE.
"One would would think after list
ening to all that is said in this country
that Nihilism was fast getting the up
per hand in Russia. | have lived
there six years, and though Odessa
with its 100000 people is said to be a
hotbed of Nihilism have never STUN
bled against it. 1t is confined to very
small part of the population. The Nj
hilists are either young students or
people from the lower class who have
been educated above their station, and
know not what to do with their knowl-
edge. There are only two classes in
Russia, the high and the low. The
former educate their children for army
or navy or liberal professions. The
trades are monopolized by the lower
class and the Jews.
"As to the laws they are severe but
just. Of course, political offenders
are sent to Siberia without trial, but
civil offenders are always given trial
by jury. The people elect their own
Mayors and other officers just as in
this country. One man, the Emperor,
rules over the nation as whole, and
is we'll liked by the great mass of pee
pie. [ don't see any reason at all for
predicting a sudden revolution in
Russia. The people are patriotic and
would fight for their country to the
death. Peter the Great ruled six mil
lions square miles; the present Car
rules over 100000. That does not
look as if Russia were likely to disin
tegrate, does it?

RU SSIAN PATRI OTISM.

"There no person more patriotic
than the Russian. You hear more
about Nih ilism in this country than in
Russia. Ehe Nihilists are in very
small min r,rity. The average peasant,
and he &C lstitutes ninety per cent of
the popl II alton, is a true Russian.
You can!le It but respect their patriot
ism. The genuine Slav never emf

sian in a. foreign country, except when
he is, on visit. The educated class
are very lovable people. I associate
with Bus slams altogether while at my
post. IT, acre are no Americans in
| Odessa, and the Russians are more
like my own people than any other |
know of. They are l1ospitable, enter
itaining and sincere.

LIFE IN RUSSIA.

In col wersation, the American Con-
sui gives a widely different view OF
life in RI Hssia from that which is con-
veyed by many newspaper publlca-
tions. H e, said: "a great deal OF
the preju Elice against the Russian
governme ut originates with the En-
glish new. spapers that do not hesitate
to give on p-sided reports or to sup
press facts which tend to deny what
they do pt Iodish. [ know that from
experience. The English are in con-
slant fear, kfRussia. The stories about
Jewish per secutions are fully exager-
ated. The facts are simply these.
''The la of Russia forbids a for
eign Jew to- remain in the country
more than tx months. They don't
seem to exi Le Russian Jews, OF which
there about 5 100000. But they think
they have nc ugh of their own 1t is
claimed th at the German and other
Jews go in to the country and take
advantage Of the ignorant peasants
However, even in their severity, the
authoriti IS do no confscate Jew prop
erty, and even all ow them to remain
provided they pay certain guild tax
Neither do they oh struct them in their
trade at Cd, sssa ancl other large cities
In fact, the Jews control the m arket
there as in other large cities. What
more do tn ~ want? The Russians
claim the sa ne right to drive the Jews
out of the co alntry that we claim in
our dealings with the Chinese.

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.

"Conditions there cannot be ikened
to conditions in this country. There
are as many as fifty principalities in
Russia, not counting Poland and ST.
IBERIA, and made up of people of diff
ferent religions. How in the world
could that great country be governed
if it were divided into sovereign states
The life of that nation depends upon
the one-man power which holds it in
tact, and the Gar is a wise ruler and
[ believe has at heart the best interests
of his great people. He is very af-
fable gentleman and kind and gen
tie husband. His son, the Czarovitch,
is also a bright boy and is watched
with Jealous care both by his father
and mother.
"Of course [ do not pretend to say
that injustice is not sometimes done
to an idnividual here and there, but
the dissatisfaction of the government
and it's many acts of wanton cruelty,
which you read of in the newspapers
are but the idle stories of newspaper
correspondents who are simply cater
ing to a popular demand for sensa-
tionalism."

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.
The Pcrrysburg Flour NIlIis Leased to
Men who will Operate II and Make
Ftrst-class Flour.

For many years Perysburg has ielt
the need OF first-class grist mill. For
various reasons the Perrysburg mills
have been allowed to remain idle, and
the golden grain whicl Wood county
produces so ahundantly, has been talk
en- to other towns to be ground. 1t is
u well known and undisputed fact that
u good grist mill is great advantage
to any town. The farmers are THE
people. Their trade is what town
needs, and to secure it grist mill is
one Of the drawing cards.
The long felt want will be supplied.
Il. S. Kirk & Co. of Toledo, who nre
well known by the farming community,
have leased the Perrvsburg mill, and
are mt work putting it in tirst-class
shape to produce flour of the highest
grade.
The mill is being entirely Overhauled
and in few days they will be ready to
do custom grinding.
Mr.. Kirk says he wants his farmer
friends to bring their wheat and he
will grind it and give them flour from
their own grain. He also says "bring
us first-class wheat and we will give
you 3S to 40 pounds of flour and all the
bran and shorts as of old"
The people of the town are doing
everything possible to encourage the
new firm and the prospects are very
favorable for II successful business at
the old mills that have so long been idle.
1t will be II pleasant sight to see our
farmer friends
BRINGING THEIR CRISIS TO PERRYS-
BURG
once more instead of driving to other
towns and giving us the "go-by" as
has been done for many years.
The firm is composed of r. S. Kirk
and A. NJ. Chapman, practical millers.
who will Nnake every effort to give
their patrons complete satisfaction and
tirst-class flour.

address at Tontogany, received many

at present he will receive little, if any
opposition for the head of our ticket.

attain. Being II sclf-made man, Il hard
working and able lawyer, popular at

DecOratiOn DnN.

Nothing can be more absurd than
that Decoration Day is day of plens-
ure. BOYS who engage in ball playing
on that day certainly do not feel the
full import of the holiday. 1t is the
Sunday of The Nation. and the sadness
which it brings to thousands of hearts
ought 10 be guide 10 the observance
OF the day. 1t is day of funeral
dirges. and day of bitter sadness, to
be mixed with prayers that no more
wars shall devas1ale the land. Our
Council should sec that no such games
be played inside the corporate limits on
that day.
