WHAT is the use of being a strong man, a man of iron muscle. capable of lifting I5O to 25O pounds of weight at arms length, and breaking silver coins and twisting silver dishes into ribbons, if he must submit to organic maladies in the prime of life? It would seem as though the gigantic czar of Russia was built to last his four score years and ten. at all events, and nothing short of nihilists could turn him down. yet here is ill health with death lowering nearby. and all the pro lection that an emperor can command has not the strength of a straw. How feel the anarchists, the socialists. the nihilists and throwers of bombs at this news? Are these destroyers of kings rejoicing. or are they jealous of higher will that is about to do what they have been impotent to bring about? Should the czar succumb thus early to disease. it would not sur prise believers in the savagery of the fana- ties surrounding him to learn that poison had played it's Iart in undermining his constitution. This is the end of the nineteenth century. but in Russia it is still about the middle ages.

THE animatad fight now going on in the republican party of Connecticut to con- trol the nomination for governor is said to include a movement for the defeat of United States Senator Platt and the cleo tion of ex-Governor Buikeley in his place. The success of this would be a misfortune in Connecticut, says the Boston Herald. Senator Platt is an able and dignified sen- ator. true to his party always, but useful man to his state, and well up to the aver age of senatorial talent at Washington. To substitute for him a man whose wealth aud his interruptions action in machine politics are his chief recommendations would be a distinct lowering of Connecti

the lumber industry, and she ought
to be proud of the several large
mills at her door, The Sunny South,
one mile north, is under the eflici-
ent management of Hon, R. i.
Trigg as receiver; it has capacity
of 10000 feet per day. Mr., Trigg
is a fine business man and this mill
has prospered in his hands during
the past fourteen months, although
it has suffered from fire, The Red
River Lumber Co., little over a
mile south, is one of the solidest
and best concerns in the State, with
a daily capacity Of 100, 900 feet, It's
officers are, E. W. Frost, President

Winham, Secretary, and Noah P,

expected that if a large body Of

to secure food to sustain life than
money to build roads and will be
