Car Nicholas as a Reformer.

The prophecies concerning the
liberal predictions OF Nicholas II
seem to have been justified. A bill is
being prepared at the instigation of
the young Gar to provide for the in
PRODUCTION of elementary public
schools throughout the Russian
dominions, and there are rumors to
the effect that the project to esta bilsh
a representative parliament, which
had been completed by Alexander II
just before his assassination, will be
revived by his grandson. If this be
true, the reign Of Nicholas II will, in
deed, mark the dawn of a new era in
Russia. Nicholas may find it
difficult task to cut the meshes of red
tape which bound his predecessors to
a vicious and corrupt bureaucratic
system of government; but the
generation which has beheld Japan
emerge from a dismal and theocratic
feudalism into the condition of an en-
lightened constitutional monarchy
will be predisposed to believe that it
is even possible to create a Free
Russia. There is nothing more in
congruous in the notion of reform
ing Car than there is in the living
fact of a reforming Mikado.-[P hila-

Effect of the New rarif Law.

Statistics which have been collated
at Washington regarding the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the gov
eminent since the new tariff law
went into operation, show that there
has been constant decrease in the
receipts during the three months
which have elapsed since its pas
sage. The total receipts for the three
months ending Nov. % amounted
to SCI. 584, 376, and the expenditures
to 500, S31, 17S, an excess of ex-
penditures over receipts amounting
to over 100000. The period is
perhaps short one upon which to
base any conclusion as to the merits
of the law considered simply as a
revenue measure. On the face of the
returns, however, it can scarcely be
said that the showing is an encour-
aging one from the standpoint of the
treasury balance sheet. - Brad

BUTTON HOLE STOCK.
EDITOR OF CALIFORNIAN:

EDITOR OF CALIFORNIAN:
St. Johnsbury people will be glad to
know that all the Reece Button Hole pa
tents have been extended for another
term of II years. Anticipating the fact
that time and time again manufacturing
companies have waited till the term of
their patents had nearly expired and then
been refused a renewal Mr.. Reece COM
menced two years ago to take such steps
as would give this result, preferring to
give up the last three or four years of the
time rather than run the risk of a refusal.
Accordingly the life of all the patents has
been extended to II years from lastyear'
The International patents have also this
same good fortune, and holders of stock
think that as the return is 10 per cent on
the money invested now, while only pay
ing per cent year, that with time
enough ahead for increase of business
that this stock is quite as profitable to
buy as the Reece, because at the present
high price of the Reece stock there is no
chance of its doubling it's rate of interest
or doubling the price of stock as is very
probable will happen to the Interna-
tional.
Now a word about the prospect of an
other increase of divi end for the Reece
in January. 1t was stated at the office
that at the October payment they had
money enough to have increased the divi-
dend per cent just as well as 1 per cent,
but it was thought by the management
that they had better not 90 too fast.
Now the money is there and further in
crease of / per cent can be given in jan
uary again if the directors think best. 4

however, that as January Is SO near TO

for the reputation of the stock t. give IN
a larger surplus in the yearly accounts

FOREWAR NED IS FOREARMED.

We called attention some weeks
ago to the evident purpose on the
part Of free traders to place prom
inent men in the republican party in
a false light before the American
people. The instance to which we
referred in particular at that time
was Reeds reported disafection
with the leading protectionists Of
the country. Reeds prompt and
emphatic denial of the canard put
an end to the business that time.
Now comes another attempt of the
same kind in the published and wide
ly distributed statement reported to
have been made by Chairman Bah
cock OF the national republican COM
mittee to the effect that mot one re-
publican in five favored the Nc
Klnley bill when passed, that Amer
lean intelligence condemned it. that
1t was too friendly to manufacturers
and not sufficiently friendly to the
people, etc" On the publication of
this statement Col. Albert Clarke of
the Home Market Club telegraphed
Mr.. Babcock for a confirmation or
denial of the story, and Mr.. Bah
cock Immediately replied that there
was no truth in the published state
ments and that he had been misre-
presented in every particular.
We do not propose to further dis
cuss Mckinley or McKinleyism at
this time but to again call attention
to the evident purpose on the part
OF so-called tariff reformers and free
traders to misrepresent republicans
on fundamental questions of
political and economical nature.
The real intent of these people ap-
pears to be to discredit the ire
mendous Importance and significance
OF the recent elections. 1t all goes
to show to what a strait are the
democrats brought, in that they
must resort to untruths and to de-
cept1on III order to accomplish their
purposes. But the democratic
straws this year all indicate strong
current down hill so far as demo-
cratic sentiment is concerned. Eff
forts to discredit republicans or re-
publlcanism are useless. At the
same time republicans should care
fully scrutinize all reported ''inter-
views" with prominent men purport-
ing change of position in relation
to the question of protection. Again,
forewarned is forearmed.
