1t Is asserted by those who have
lived among them that the lowest
types Of modern European civilization
are probably the Russians. While
writers and travellers vary as to the
future of Russia nearly all are agreed
as to the utter degradation at present
Of the Russian peasant. He is always
on the verge of starvation and Is abb
solutely improvident, while his gross
and complete ignorance is combined
with the most extrayagant supersti-
ton. Like all low natures, he is thor
ougbly distrustful of reform, and as a
climax to his infirmities he is con-
firmed drinker.
Middle class In Russia there is prac-
tically none. The small shopkeepers
combine exorbitant charges with
shameful usury. Manufacturers and
producers are nearly all foreigners.
and the larger trade of the country is
chiefly in German hands. Education
may after the lapse of several genera
tions remove the inherent dullness of
this people, but 1t will be no easy mat
ter to root out evils which are the
growth of centuries of serfdom and
distress.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Gertrude Harrington Dead.

About 2 o'clock Thursday after
noon July 10, word was brought to
Belt that the body of poor Gertrude
Harrington had been found in the
bed of Belt creek about two miles
below town.
June 8, Gertrude Harrington eth
er fell Into or was cas- It into the then
turbulent waters of the creek near
town, and the rushing waters bore
the poor child swiftly down to the
fallen tree, where an eddy tossed
the body among the branches. 1t
was lying face downward, between
the trunk and limb of the fallen
tree. The hair was matted and tan
gled about the limb.
The green dress which the child
wore on the day of her disappear
ance still covered all that remained
of the upper part of the body,
which was badly decomposed. The
legs and feet were partly deeompos-
ed and partly dried up, resembling
the limbs of mummy.
Two young Slavs, John Seblak
and George Straka, claim to have
discovered the body; but Steve Fab
ions little boy, claims that he
found it and at once ran to the two
Slavs and told them.
The discovery of the remains has
not solved the mystery of the man
ner of the death of the little girl,
and the body is go badly decempos-
ed that it will doubtless be very diff
ficult to secure any evidence of the
manner of her death 1t is certain
that she was either throw or fell into
the creek, but there is no proof as
yet available.
The Tribune now stands ready to
pay to the person or persons
who found the body of the child the
sum Of 800 upon proof by them
that they were the finders of the
body.-Tribune.

The Same Effect.

'It is very odd" remarked Mr.. Hub
bub, that in Africa there Is a tribe
which cannot wear clothes at all.
Clothes make them sick. Isn't 1t
strange, dearY
Not at ALL" replied Mrs. Hubbub.
1.-THE same thing happens in this coun-
try also"
"Oh, surely not! never heard of
such thing In civilized countries"
"Well, Mr.. Hubbub, can tell you
that even in this great and glorious
land the same phenomenon is by no
means unknown. When | see Mrs.
Poindexter coming out every month or
so with a fine new outfit from head to
foot, her clothes make me slck-make
me sick, l say. Mr. Hubbub-w when |
reflect that you are just as able to buy
me new clothes as Mr.. Polndexter is to
buy them for his wife and don't"
And Mrs. Hubbub dissolved in tears.

The county convention will prob
ably be he Id September /, that date
having been recommended by the
executive committee Wednesday
afternoon.
The executive committee of the
state central committee met yester-
day afternoon in the office of T.B.
Miller, secretary of the committee,
and determined upon that date. A
formal cal for convention to nom
mate republican candidates for pres
idential electors, congressman, and
all state officers was issued, and will
be sent to each member of the COM
mittee in the state.
When the state central committee
met in Heleua last March, it deter
mined upon the place for the nom
mating convention, and delegated
authority % its executive committee
to fix the date for the meeting. At
that time the appointment of. dele
gates from the several counties was
determined upon. Each county was
given five delegates at large and
one for every fifty votes cast for
Thomas c. Marchall for congress in
the election of 1898. On that basis
the Counties will have representation

vention.

POLITICAL SITUATION.

A forecast of the coming election,
based largely upon figures furnish
ed by past elections, affords an in
teresting study, which, barring any
unusual, and we may say, unexpected
complication within the next four
months, must certainly flu rnish
strong proof that Mckinley will be
reelected. 1t is we'll enough for
democratic editors to jolly their in
nocent adherents with ringing dec
larations about carrying New York,
and Ohio, and Illinois, but their
hopes of those states are as forlorn
as that republicans should figure
upon carrying Nebraska and Miss,
ouri.
In New York the democratic par
ty is confronted by its strongest
gold contingent which will vote as
ardently for the present administra-
tion as it did in '96. in Ohio and
Illinois, advices to this office, both
public and private show conclusive
ly that industrial conditions today
are better than they have ever been
before. More men are employed,
at better wages than at any previous
time, and labor everywhere is at a
premium. So radically different
and SO vastly improved are social
conditions over those of four years
ago that no one but fool might ex-
pect the mass to turn against the
administration.
Selecting all those states which
either party classes as doubtful, lei
us make study of the situation
In the doubtful column let us place
every state which either side by any
possible reason may so direct:

Don't borrow.

Only the other day Boston firm of
sharks charged a man $5 for making
out the mortgage on loan of $40 and
then charged him interest. A Lowell
shark recently loaned a man $50 and
charged him So for making out the
mortgage, and every month he causes
the man to sign a new mortgage and
charges him So each time, besides the
regular rate of interest, thus bringing
the interest up to 500 per cent per
annum. The several mortgages are
not recorded since the first one, and
every So the borrower pays goes into

A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE.

home on the rolling deep.

And the winds their revel keepi

The spray and th- sempest's roari

The gale follows fair abaft.
We shoot through the sparkling foam,
Like an ocean bird set free;
Like an ocean bird, our home
Well find far out on the sea.
The land is no longer in view,
The clouds have begun to frown,
But with stout vessel and crew
Wen say let the storm come DOWN.
And the song Of our hearts shall be,
While the wind and the waters rave,
A home on the rolling sea,
A life on the ocean wave

The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1900-07-28

In New York, Maryland, Ohio,
and Illinois the above pluralities are
enough to take ones breath. Bry-
an cannot on reasonable grounds
claim them. How can democrats
hope by any means to carry those
states. Under present conditions it
is more reasonable to expect those
republican pluralities to be raised.
We cannot allow with democrats
that those states are doubtful.
Bryan carried his states by plu-
ralities as follows:
Kansas. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .12, ,269
South Dakota. .............. 1873
Wyoming. ................ 5S3
Washington :. IL, ,493
Advices from those states indicate
that they are really debatable
ground. But let us concede them
to Mr.. Bryan, after judging upon
the other tables, and examine the
result. Bryan would thus gain In
diana, Kentucky and West Virginia,
making total of "a electoral votes,
after which he would still be 16
such votes short of election.
Where is he going to get them
Can any sane democrat answerf
The state election in Oregon punch
es large holes in the democratic pro-
posal of carrying the coast states.
There is nothing left. Bryan's
chances, without New York or Ohio
are cipher without the rim. He
can carry neither of those states.
From this office it looks as if Mr..
Bryan would loose South Dakota,
Wyoming and Washington and
gain Kentucky aside from which
there will be no change in the vote
of states. This would give McKin-
ley a majority in the electoral col
lege of So, which is probably nearer
the true result.
The above facts and deductions
are non-partisan, and we would ad.
monish our readers, when democrats
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1900-07-28

laud the chances of their leader, to
inquire as to what states they hope
to carry for Mr.. Bryan. Friends of
silver everywhere may desire such
result, but from present knowledge,
no sane man expects ii.

such a fate. Practically, it IS upon
