The United States and Russia have
never yet had dispute. On the con-
trary, the very warmest friendship has
always existed between them. During
the civil war a Russian fleet prevented
a British fleet from blowing I'D New
York. In 1898 the car offered to loan
us $100,000,000 in gold to replenish the
reserve. There is not much immigra-
ton from Russia, but as rule the Rus
sian makes a good citizen of any coun-
try. Thousands of Americans live and
do business in Russia. From these
We learn that Russia is not the sort
of despotism that some British writ
ers try to make out. The country is
we'll governed and wealth is equally
distributed. The common laborer is
better off than his brother in America.
There are no prisons and very little
crime. The alleged horrors of Siberia
that we read about in English papers
are not horrors at all A man con-
victed of crime is sent to Siberia for
a term of years. He is put to work,
but is not shackled. If he is married
he may take his wife with him. He
receives fair remuneration for his ser
vices and at the end of his term OF
service rarely quits his exile A single
year in a British prison is equivalent tc
a life sentence to Siberia. We cannot
learn too much about Russia. Some
time ago there was talk of an alliance
between the United States and Eng
land. Our senate wisely refused tt
ratify it. We do not think that &
similar proposition from Russia would
be as speedily refused. Perhaps {
treaty will be concluded before the enc
of the century. In the meantime there
is perfect understanding between
the two nations. Russia alone amonf
Europeans is friendly to the Monro,
doctrine. There is not the slightes
doubt but that in case of necessity sh,
would aid us to defend it.

The political standing of the Fifth district
is very precarious for Populsm as the
vote at the recent election shows a gain
of about 200 for the Republicans on coun-
ty officers. Congressman Vincent spent
part of last week in this county fixing up
his feEces and has written many letters to
leading Populists and Democrats. urging
them to be steadfast in the faith. He fears
the candidacy Of II. N. Gaines. whose re-
by putting his brother in charge has led
to the revival of his boom. That he is
anxious for a chance to succeed Vincent
as the fusion nominee and will try to Sc
cure the nomination is almost certain Mr.
Hoffman is not known to be a candidate
