SIBERIA.

Zor protractead period this
D99SStand rich Siberian frontier region
held the unique reputation of being
the sole producer of certain rare and
precious metals, whose exploitation,
carried on BY the most primitive means
and methods, was confined entirely to
native hands.
1T is only during recent years that
foreign capital and enterprise have
commenced to take an increasingly
large share In the development of the
mineral wealth of the Urals, and al
ready the platinum mines, the richest
and most important of their kind in
the world, are almost entirely worked
by foreign CAPITALISTS.
"The central and southern Urals
have during the last few years been
brought nearly wholly under exploita-
tion, and ali the districts reputed to
contain practically inexh austible gold
deposits, both quartz and alluvial, will
shortly be under the scientific opera
tions of foreign syndicates, employing
their own mining engineers. The north

"From the banks of the mountain
stream Losva come well authenticate
ed announcements of the discovery of
immensely rich gold and platinum de-
posts. These new fields lie between
the sixtieth and sixty-first degrees
north latitude and form, so to say, the
ultimate foreposts of the Ural mining
industries. A wealthy Muscovite mer-
chant. named Bagrezoff, has been for
tunate enough to secure the exclusive
mining rights for the Losva gold and
platinum fields, and he is now seeking
to inaugurate their exploitation by
means of foreign capital and foreign
energy. The northern Ural and the

great eras-ancient, medieval (or mid

is considered to extend from the earll-
est times down to the fall of the Ro-
man empire in the west in A. d. 4IG;
the medieval from that date to the
discovery of America by Columbus in
1892 and the modern from that time to
the present. Some historians prefer to
nut the end of the medieval period at
the capture of Constantinople by the
Turks. about 40 years earlier than the
Columbus event. The dark ages are
often held to be cOeval with the me-
dinyal era. but some authorities think
that the term should be applied only
to the part of the era extending from

WHITE OAK DISAPPEARING.

The Dorchecter Era, in the follow

Of conditions as applicable to Talbot
as to that county:-An old citizen of
Dorchester county recently remarked
the fact that the white oak timber.
which was one of the boasts old Dor
set lang syne, has very nearly disap-

he correct. At the beginning of the
century Just closed Dorchester was
perhaps the most richly endowed with
timber of any county on the Eastern
Shore. 1t was particularly rich in
variety of white oak especially adapted
to shipbuilding. Hence it was much
sought by builders all over the Atlantic |
coast. Baltimore built her famous
clippers mainly from timber cut in
forest. The coffee barks of the Mon
umental City had ribs of Dorchester
oak set over keels hewn from giants
grown here. The shipbuilding indus
try for nearly a century was large and
profitable in the county. Vessels of
great dimensions, in their day, were
built and launched on the rivers of
Dorchester, affording employment to
many men and supporting prosperous
busy villages.
The Catonville ArguS tells this story
about the white oaks of the Western
Shores:
Between ten and twelve million
feet of railroad bridge and switch ties,
enough, according to the careful cal
culation of an expert on figures, to
cover the Frederick turnpike COM

HONEST JOHN.

1t has developed in the administering
OF the estate of the late John Sherman
ex-senator and secretary of the United
States treasury, that he concealed over a
million dollars of personal property
from the tax assessor for five years or
longer before he died, and perjured him
self to save paying taxes on what he had
accumulated" during his official life on
a small salary He was the idol of some
very honest people, and of course would
do nothing against the public good in
Office if he could make money by it
What he did is done by others in high
life, as the daily press exposes day by
day. Yet people will support system
that makes it profitable to be dishonest.
Under Socialism he could not have re-
ceived more than he earned and it would
not have been taxed after he got it. He
could have committed no public act
against the public with profit to himself
and he would have done nothing of the
kind, which many millions believe he
did. But Socialism would be impracti-
cal. Even under this system there is one
simple little law that would bring out
all the property for taxation. Suppose
that the law was that whatever of prop
erty that was not returned for taxation
should be taken by the state? In that
event Sherman's estate would have paid
into the public treasury over million
Of dollars. AS death is liable at any mo-
ment, none would conceal for it would

the estate. But the people who make

MISREPRESENTATION

In this issue of the Representative ap-
pears the first of series of articles up
on "Direct Legislation in Switzerland"
from the pen of Eltweed Pomeroy. Mr..
Pomeroy is perhaps the most prominent
advocate of direct legislation in this
country. He has visited Europe and
studied that system of law-making there.
he has drawn many bills for constitu-
tional amendments allowing direct legis-
lation in many states of the Union; he
tried to get brief and unequivocal
plank into the Kansas City platform, en-
dorsing direct legislation, and, in fact,
he has lost no opportunity to push for
ward the cause which may be said to be
with him something of hobby. Our
readers will find in this series of articles
thorough and exhaustive information
upon this subject from high authority
which will be entertaining as we'll as ed

BRIGHT PROSPECTS,

Not long ago a New York Judge
commenting upon the social conditions
existing in New York and Brooklyn
stated that to the majority of the popu-
lation the rearing of two children meant
inevitably boy for the penitentiary
and girl for the brothel." Think OF
it! Innocent baby boys condemned from
the first day of their existence to a life
of crime. Baby girls forced into a life
of shame by the conditions under which
they are of grim necessity reared. And
these are the little ones of whom Christ
said: Suffer little children to come un-
to me and forbid them not" Socialists
are pleading for system. of society un-
der which such things would be impos-
sible. and for SO doing are denounced as
enemies of society.-Appeal to Reason.
This Judge is not alone in his views of
the social conditions in our great cities.
Every student of industrial and econom-
ic conditions is cognizant of these same
facts.
In 1894 much the same thought was
expressed in verse in that little book.
Bond and Industrial" The book was
written in advocacy of direct legislation
as remedy for all these evils. It can
be bought at this Office for 10 cents and
should be in the hands of every voter.
Following are the lines:
when the jails are overhowing
And the workhouse filled with tramps.
Soup-house is the only recourse,
With no shelter, home the camps;
When the little half-clad children
Play before the open door.
Famished sickly and half frozen,
Happy childhood seen no more:
When the sons with all their manhood
Strive to reach the shining goal.
