A Russian correspondent sends IFS
details of n very interesting and anus
ing tale told by a Russian veterinary
surgeon who was sent into the Ural
district to buy horses and hay for the
peasants Of the famine-stricken prov
inces. He had to do mostly with the
natives tkirghis). who are half-savage
but who, nevertheless, were found to
be extremely honest and absolutely
trustworthy In all buying and selling
some of them even Offering to give
horses for the starving peasants. Quite
a different story has the surgeon to tell
Of the Ural Cossncks, who did their
level best to cheat him In the most
barefaced manner. and on whom no
reliance was to be placed. And yet
these Cossacks are very religious and
30 simple in certain respects that a
swindler succeeded In selling them
quite a number OF tickets for-para-
disc. The veterinary surgeon saw sew

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Healihy-Stormy Weather Somewhat
Delays Spring Trade-lron and
S,eel Booming.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF Trade" says Besides the SSi com
mercial failures for $o,o3I,o48, which
were reported to-day, there were in
February six banking failures for 5000
a4I and receivers were appointed ior
the United States Milling Co, with $25,-
600 900 of stock and $4,000, 900 of bonds
authorized at its organization last April,
and for the Third Avenue Railroad
Company. Unless separated from such
events, commercial failures could not be
compared with benefit The manufac-
turing failures for $4,2s7,o38 were larg-
er than in February OF 1896 or 1906 but
more than half the amount was in two
classes, four large lumber and one cloth
ing failure making 80 per cent, of the
whole. The trading failures were larg-
er than in February OF last year only,
but 20 per cent. of these defaults were
made in five failures. In most branches
the comparison with previous years is
encouraging and analysis brings out in
strong light the remarkably low average
of liabilities in the smaller failures,
which constitute the great majority, in.
dicating sound business conditions and
unusually satisfactory collections. The
small rise in wheat last week, although
! the price is quite low, sufficed to cali
from the farms such receipts, 4Io5, 5,66I
bushels against 3,Io5,437 last year, as to
indicate that supplies are not nearly ex-
hausted. Exports from Atlantic ports
continue small, for the week, flour in

trees could not be distinguished until
the travellers were close upon them.
Lions prowled about the party. one Of
them roaring from point 30 close

nerves. The animals could not be
seen, but they could be heard on all
sides. Reaching n tree. the men found
one OF their comrades with rifle cooked

discover the whereabouts OF the ami
mails, that could be plainly heard walk

was trying to relight a half-extin-
gulshed torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going In tho

Among the lines of usefulness
open to clubs three may be now in
dictated.
l. The registration of voters
afford an immediate opportunity
for clubs to show activity by fur
nishing information as to Demo-
cratic voters to be registered. purg.
ing the registration books of per-
sons not entitled to vote and pre-
venting improper registration. Lo-
cal com mitteemen should promptly
furnish each club with the voting
list of the clubs immediate neigh
borhood and a committee of the
club should scrutinize the list and
give the committee all possible aid
and Information for the above OBJ
jects.
2. There has probably never
been more indications than at pres
ent of a charge of sentiment, and
party utilization among those who
heretofore supported the admins
tration.
This calls for the circulation Of
Democratic campaign literature and
provision for meetings and intelli-
gent and dispassionate discussion
of the great principles which should
now unite all true friends Of popu.
lar and constitutional government.
3. After registration has been
perfected and the issues fully and
clearly presented, the clubs can be
of inestimable value to the party in
helping to bring out the vote on
election day and in preventing the
corrupt use OF money, which is the
main now perhaps the only hope of
those who serve the trusts.

Democratic Cam" align Clubs.

A special effort is being made
this year by National and State
leaders to form clubs. They have
always been one Of the usual means
OF aid in Democratic paigns,
and are now being formed on q
larger scale than ever before known,
for it is realized that the people
must unite and organize to resist
the money and agents Of the trusts,
which have taken control of the
Republican party, syndlcated that
party in fact, and made it a part.
ner with the trusts.
Both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Steven
son and Chairman James X. Jones
OF the National Committee have
united with Mr.. Hearst, President
OF the National Association Of Dem.
ocratic Clubs, in q call for univer.
sal club organization. Among
other things, in this call, they say:
"The Democratic party aud it's
friends must meet the forces Of cor
ruption and intimidation in politics
this year by thorough organization,
A Democratic club or society should
be organized in every city, town,
village and precinct in the United
States"
"This work of uniting the forces
OF law and liberty into one great,
systematized, civic army should be
carried on simultaneously in every
part of the country, and without
delay"
ono patriotic citizen can ignore
the attacks which are being made
upon the foundation of our present
irreproachable form of government.
This year every citizen should be a
politician"
The undersigned has been appoint.
ed to represent the National Asso-
citation of Democratic Clubs in
Maryland and has opened an office
at the Eutaw House, Baltimore,
where all clubs formed in the State
are requested to report their names,
addresses, officers and number of
members, through the Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee.
Campaign Clubs can join the
National Association without cost.
Each club joining can send dele.
