He could not combine the brutal Judge and

him-defied him twice over and before a

high questions? The Office was usurped.

RUSSIAN INDUSTRIES.

Some industrial notes of an interesting
character concerning Russia are fur
nished by Consul Morris, in his report
to the state department. Among the
data thus presented is the remarkable
fact that, while the production of pig
iron in 1881 amounted to 49,, $50 tons.
in 1891 1t had increased to 1,27S.35O
tons, this industry having especially de-
veloped in southern Russia, where the
works situated near the rich mineral de.
posits of Krivorog, are abundantly sup
piled with combustible material The
manufacture of iron has increased from
323, 200 tons in 1880 to 1884, 500 tons in
1893 and, in the same period, the pro-
duction of steel has grown from 1885,
$50 tons to 53S,05O tons. The quantity
of nails produced has increased only
2S.900 tons, but of the 100000 tons man.
ufactured in 1880, 1S4,65O tons were
made from imported pig iron, the re-

growers understand very we'll that
the present advance is due to ma
'nipulation by spectators, and they
are not going to be deluded into the
idea that the gold standard IS to be
given any credit for the increased

srs have made up their minds that
the double standard is necessary to
the preservation Of stable prices
and they are going to vote that
way. This is no nav idea With

Speech Making,

concerned, was brought to close
last Tuesday by two able cam

Brown Allen, Of Augusta county.
While it is entertaining to listen
to Il joint discussion or this ques-

help but think speeches this late in

solid voter made up his mind some
time ago as to how he wonld cast
his ballot on next Tuesday, and it
is not at all likely shat any new
feature would appear IN Il speech
that would cause him to look at
the situation in a different light.
The less solid voter who changes
a week week before the election
is likely to change again before it
arrives. The speakers flights Of
