RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP.


How the Government Kills Suspect
ed Journals.
Sometimes a journal receives what is
known as a warning. The first warning
is not regarded very seriously. 1t is
said even that a paper either newly
established or which finds it's popularity
and circulation diminishing, not infre-
quntly courts first or even a second
warning in order to gain a reputation
for it's enterprise and independence.
During the past few months two warn
| ings, which, if report be true, were in
directly solicited, have been admin
istered to the Northern Courier, a color
less journal recently founded by men,
Der of the we'll known Bariantinsky
family. The third warning, however, is
a serious matter, and almost invariably
entails the disappearance of the journal
either finally or for a certain period.
Sometimes, again, the penalty consists
in the withdrawal of the right to expose
the paper for sale by number, that is,
in the streets, 1T railway stations
Tshops, book stalls. etc, a punishment
which is rendered the more severe by
the difficulty which exists in st. Peters
burg Of obtaining newspapers BY sub
scription at short notice. Owing to the
fact that the daily delivery Of papers
is carried out neither by the newspaper
offices themselves nor by news agents,
but by the postoffice, subscriptions for
papers are only received for periods of
a month pr more, such periods dating
always from the first day of the month,
| f1,o l,os,, &l,ok 4
has commenced it is impossible to OBJ
tain by subscription the papers for the
rest of that month without paying for
all the numbers which have already
appeared. The clumsiness of the sys-
tenn tends naturally to make the public
more dependent on the sale by number,
SO that if this right is withdrawn the
loss of the paper so published is neces-
sarily greater. A still sharper meas
ure is to forbid the publication of any
advertisements, a prohibition which, if
enforced for any length of time, almost
necessarily involves the ruin of the
journal. Or, again, the authorities may
require that particular editor or man.
ager should cease his connection with
his paper, as was done in the case Of
M. Korsh, who in 1878 was compelled to
resign his position as editor of the
st. Petersburgiia Viedomosti." Last
ly, there is the suppression of the pa
per either for a limited period, which
may be again and indefinitely extended,
or in perpetuity. Sometimes the Of
fetal announcement of the penalty in
ficted refers specifically to the article
or articles objected to; sometimes it
merely declares that the tendency of
the paper is harmful; sometimes no
reason at all is assigned.-National Re-

The Prohibition party in South Caro-
lima has never amounted to much since
the adoption of the dispensary system,
whereby all the liquor selling is done
by the state for the states benefit. 1t
has amounted to SO little that in the
presidential contest of four years ago
there were no Prohibition votes cast
in the state. ta u *.
There are practically no Republicans
in South Carolina, judged by the Re-
publican standard Of other states, and
there are practically no Populists,
either. These abnormal conditions,
which are not duplicated in any other
state in the country, are, however,
easily susceptible of explanation. The
Populists of South Carolina, instead Of
being an annex to the Democratic
party, are in fact the Democrats. They
control the party organization, shape
its course, regulate it's actions and die
tate it's nominations and the dissidents
from the arbitrary rule are the old
line conservative Democrats Of the
Hampton and Butler school. y
These old line Democrats find it re-
pugnant to maintain political relations
with the South Carolina Republicans,
who are almost exclusively colored
| men. This has left, in fact, the field
clear to one party, the extent of the
predominance of which is shown by
| the fact that in the last legislature,
made up of 165 members, 1874 were Pop
ulist Democrats, there being only one
Republican.
The Prohibition party, for reasons
given has no political status In South
Carolina, and in the absence of any
naturalized voters there are practical
ly no Socialists. In further elucidation
of the peculiar conditions of politics
which exists in South Carolina, only
one ticket in the field on election day,
it should be stated that the Palmetto
state has primary election law of a
very comprehensive character, under
the terms Of which there are really two
elections, the Populist-Democrats of
the state choosing candidates at the
preliminary primaries, and the general
election being merely ratification of
their decision as eXpressed.-New York

All the leading chess masters take such
an interest in events outside their own

of lawyers, for instance. Some of them
take up specialties for pleasure and

II was very sorry that there was not a
greater number of Eastern Shoremcn at
Antietam "Wednesday to witness the great
hit made by Governor Smith.
Had / been only a Marylandcr and
never personally known Governor Smith
| should have been proud of him as a
Marylander and as the Governor of my
state.
During the ceremonies, met former
Eastern Shorcman, and he said IN sub
stance: "Wcll Governor Smith is Ger
tainly all right, and Pm proud that my
section of the State has Furnished such Il
man for our Governor" There are many
big men here to day, President, Senators,
Generals, and Admrals, but in looks,
speech and actions he is the peer of any
of them, and just see how he takes with
this immense crowd y
His words and thoughts were appro-
priately chosen and his delivery splen-

feeling, congratulated the Governor.

BRYAN AND DEWEY.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says:
AT the headquarters Of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign Com
mittee on Wednesday there was much
talk about the wisdom of nominating
Admiral Dewey for the Eice-Pres-
dency. 1t is said an effort is to he
made TO work up sentiment in his favor
among the delegates from Southern
States, and it is understood that some
of the members of the Virginia delega-
tion to the Kansas City Convention
are active in the movement.
The advocates of the selection Of the
Admiral base their arguments solely
on the ground that they believe lie
could brlng more votes to the Bryan
ticket than any other man who could
bc named.
1t is reasoned that if the Admiral
should be nominated with Mr.. Bryan
the Republicans would try to mini
mize his achievements in Manila bay
and would thus arouse feeling Of re-
sentiment which would be of distinct
benefit TO the Bryan ticket.

PRESERVATION OF THE RE
PUBLIC THE I;\IN ISSUE
THIS WEAR.

The New York World, which vigorously
opposed the election Of Mr.. Bryan in 1896,
announced few days ago its intention to
support him this year ''on the only issue
worth considering in this campaign-thc
preservation of the Republic, the maintc
nance of the Constitution and return to
the PRINCIPLES of the Declaration of indie
pcndcncc."
The World says there is no occasion this
year for Il Gold Democrat" Presidential
ticket. -Four years ago states the
World, "frec silver was the dominant issue
in the campaign, This year, though it
may be talked about in certain sections, il
will not be an issue 1t all, because the
money question is settled for at least four
years to come by an Interchangeable Rcpub-
lican majority in the Senate.
"In 1896 the coinage was an open ques-
ton. 1t has since been closed for the
present by the enactment of 4 gold stand
ard law which no possible result Of the
pending election can repeal. Yet when
the issue was most alive and threatening
the Presidential ticket Of the sound money
Democrats received only a ptiful 133,42
votes out Of Il total of nearly 14,000,CO0.
Most of the Democrats whose opposition
to free silver was strong enough to prevent
them from supporting Bryan voted direct
" for Mckinley, as they would do again
this year were the issue and the danger
the same.
''But the issue is not the same. The
danger is different and vastly more por
tcntous, This country can endure any
change in its currency. Such changes,
though they may cause much disturbance
to business and great pecuniary losses. do
not touch the foundation nor affect the
structure of our Government. But inn
perialism militarism and monopoly. the
real and only issues in the election, strike
at the basic principle and threaten the
very existence of the Republic.
A country with subject possessions Sc
cured by conquest and governed by force
is not republic. And where plutocracy
rules democracy bCccilEtS lhcIcil Il HdHtc
without force or effect.
1T is for these reasons that a third
ticket this year is net only uncalled for,
but would be even more farcic#l than it
was in 1886. Mi. Bryan, who, as the
World said two months ago, will be re
nominated by acclamation represents the
American and therefore Tie democratic
side of these living, burning, dominating
issues. He is for this reason entitled to
and will receive The support Of the World .
