RUssIA's RESOURCES.

The Russian loan of S2O0OOO,OOO, is
sued by the Rothschilds, has been COW
cred twenty times over This is phe-
nomenal and shows that Russia's cred
it is equal TO that of any country in
the world Her resources are not sur
passed by those of any other country
and she has inaugurated a policy of
developing them that cannot but make
her immensely wealthy. The compile
ton of the Trans Siberian railway will
be for Russia much such an event as
was the completion of the Union Pa
cific railway for the United States. In
their industrial development there
never was a more important event
than that. 1t opened up a continent.
The great Russian railway will do the
same.
Russia's advance into the east has
been marvellous during the past few
years. 1t is but a little since Edward
O'Donovan penetrated to the Merv
oasis, and his journey was scarcely less
noteworthy than Stanley's journey
across Africa Today there is a rail-
way to Merv. The oil fields which
O'Donovan described are now compet-
ing with those of this country. 1t is
dou9Nful if any other country today
has such possibilities of expansion as
Russia. If her new car shall devote
himself to the development and i'm
provement of his country's resources,
he will become one of the great rul-
ers and history viii speak Of him as
another Peter the Great.

wKrNLEY's LATEST SPEECH.

Last Saturday over five hundred
members of the American Window
Glass Workers association paid visit
10 Major Mckinley at Canton. After
an Introductory speech by one of the
,,,ar,a,ers Major Mckinley spoke. The
burden Of what he had to say was de-
,,o+4d m the tariff. He said that the
credit of any government is im9eriled
ca long as it expends more money tnan
q collects. The credit of the govern
v,,a,A like that of the individual citi-
aan &c hest ssibserved by living within
&c means and providing means with
which TO live" There is nothing new or
profound in this observation. FoAo"-
in, this the major remarked that "ev-
a,.v citizen must know that the recelpts
of the United States are now lnsul-
fcient for its necessary expenditures
ona that our present revenue laws have
resulted in causing a deficiency In the
treasury for almost three years. That
is true. but every citizen also knows
that the Mckinley law; during the last
,,a.r 81 was in force, did the same thing
and that it is not the question of re-
ceipts and expenditures of the govern
ment which is causing the connection
in the business of the country today,
but that it is the financial question.
The great cause for this commotion is
the persistent attempts of the advo-
Gates of the gold standard, whose cham
pion Major Mckinley is. to create in
the minds of the people a feeling Of
alarm and panic, so that they viii vote
against free silver. 1t is the machina-
tons of the gold men that is hurting
the credit of the government, if it is
being hurt. There is need of more

The Parrots Sally.

A certain parrot is the property of a
Tioga household, the head of which is in
ortiinately fond of a quiet little game of
poker. For years it has been his custom
to get three or four of his friends to-
gether at least twice week in his snug
library and while away four or five hours
of an evening by means of five-cent ante
with quarter limit The parrots cage
hangs in the same library, except on state
occasions, when it is taken into the din
ing room.
The mans wife is as devoted to her
church as he is to his favorite game.
She never misses a meeting, and as often
as the good man will come has her pastor
to her home for Sunday dinner. He was
there two or three weeks ago. So We're

PROHIBITION IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

PIERRE, S. D., July 29.-The
supreme court today handed down an
opinion in the case of the state Of
South Dakota, eX-rel, Crammer VS..
Thomas Thorson, secretary of state.
This is the case involving the validity
of the act resubmitting the prohibition
clause Of the constitution. The court
refused the application to restrain the
secretary of state from providing that
the question should be placed upon the
ballots on the ground that at the pres
ent time the court has no jurisdiction
to review the case and pass upon the
questions involved. Until the people
had voted upon it and it had reached
a stage where action could be taken
under its provisions, the court could
not properly pass upon its validity.

What looks like very stupid as we'll as

means to prevent Single Tax advocates
from speaking on the streets. 1t is claim
ed that there IS no warrant in law for

very bad law. The right of free speech
is one of the most cherished dogmas Of
the American people, and the attempt to
prevent its exercise, especially for politi-
cal purposes, is always resented 1t is to
be feared the Dover authorities are laying
up store of trouble for themselves by
the course they are pursuing, and it is
tolerably certain that they are doing the
very best thing to promote the cause to
which they are opposed. All propagandas

LIVED IN SPOKANE.
Well Known Because of Her Red Hair
and Other PeculLa rites.

and Other Peculia rites.
Spokane Review: Miss
Matte Overman, who figures so promi-
nently in the San Francisco blackmail-
ing sensation, wherein Rev. c. o.
Brown. pastor of the Congrega tional
church of that city, had a Mrs. David
son arrested on a charge of extortion,
of which full account appeared in
yesterdays Spokesman Review is
former resident of Spokane, and will be
remembered by large number of per-
sons. Many who knew her when she
was here recognized her at once by
the description contained in the dis
patch.
The Overman family is well known in
at least three counties of Eastern
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Columbia and
Walla Walla. in all of which they have
resided. The girls, of which there are
six In the family, are particularly we'll
known from the fact that every one of
them has red hair, and for other rea-
sons.
The family resided for many years
on a farm between Waitsburg and
Dayton. and were Well known TO all the
residents of that neighborhood. Mr.
Overman sold his farm to John Jones,
well known citizen of Walla Walla,
an dsoon after the big fire of August 4,

city. where they resided two or three
years, IlOSl VI l0e thine at Une corner

Overman girls finally Joined the family
at Tacoma, since which nothing has
been heard of them until the dispatch
came from San Francisco announcing
Matties connection with the scandal
above alluded to.
Matte Overman did not mingle very
much in society while in Spokane. and
her presence in the family of the pastor
of one of the leading churches of San
Francisco. and the further statement
that she went there to study stenog-
raphy and typewriting, causes many
persons in this part of the country to
smile broadly.

girls and Mrs. White live last evening,
and an encounter followed. with the re-
suit that White is dangerously wound
ed and Webb lies in the county Jail.
White maintains that Webb shot him
In the back without provocation. and
as he was turning away to run This
statement is borne out by the location
of the wound. Mrs. White said tonight
that Webb never offered to apologize
for his insulting remark on the night of
the ball. Miss Della Cravens. who is a
tall and statuesque blonde, said she
had never mixed up in the quarrel be-
tween White and Webb, and that both
men are her friends. Her sympathies
seem to be equally divided between the
wounded man and his assailant.
Webb's friends say his attentions to
the Cravens girls caused White to be
Jealous. and this led to the difficulty.
