RUSSIA NOT A BORROWER.

Her Revenues Are Ample For Extra
ordinary Expenditures.
New York, April 25.-M. De Rout-
kowsky the financial agent of Russia
in the United States, is in this city on
his way to st. Petersburg. In speaking
of the financial situation in Russia and
the probability of Russian loan being
offered in New York city, M. De Rout-
kowsky said:
"It may be said emphatically that the
imperial Russian treasury is not in
need of money, notwithstanding it's
large expenditures in the far east.
Where the United States during the
Spanish-American war borrowed $780,
100000, where the British government
during the Transvaal war borrowed,
and is borrowing, over 100000, 900, and
where the German government for it's
operations in China has sold German
bonds to the amount of $20,000,000, the
imperial Russian government has de-
issue, because the revenues from the
government for the last eight years
have been far in excess of ordinary ex-
penditures. Not only have ordinary
expenditures been met by the imperial
revenues, but the government has been
able to construct from it's surplus rev.
enues the whole of the Trans-Siberian
railway, which will be worth when fin
ished $400,000000, and to continue to
construct other railroads"

In decision rendered Monday, the
Court of Errors and Appeals sustained the
Meeker election law as constitutional and
of full effect. Commenting on the decision
the Trenton True 4merican says =
''The opinion of Chief Justice Depue,
in which the Supreme Court upheld the
anti spring election law, is an elegant
illustration of the process by which the
judiciary has argued itself into legislative
function The court began by including
in the constitutional provision relating to
towns, on the ground that they were the
same. Then it declared that municipalities
might be classified according to conditions
and needs. Then it declared that cities
be classified according to population; then
that boroughs and townships and counties
might be classified in the same way. And
now that cities which were rushed into the
constitution on the ground that they were
included in towns, are separated from
the towns and classified as cities upon a
classification based on nothing but their
title Of Incorporation, and applying to so
general and public a matter as municipal
elections Archimedes, it was, we believe,
who said he could lift the world if he
could obtain fulcrum foot beyond it.
The Supreme Court has outdone Archi-
medes' boast by lifting itself with no other
fulcrum than the detached edges OF its own
opinions

THE WEST POINT HooDLUMs.

Court of Inquiry Investigating a
Breach of Discipline.
West Point, N. Y, April PA court
of inquiry consisting of Capt. James
X. Thompson, of the Fifteenth in
fantry, Capt. Edward Anderson, of the
Seventh cavalry, and Capt. William
Lassiter, of the First artillery, yester-
day began the investigation of charge
of breach of discipline on the part of
several cadets of the military acad-
emy. The cadets are disgruntled be-
cause Cadet Ralston was punished for
failing to report breach of discipline.
The breach of discipline which has
resulted in the present investigation
occurred one night recently. The ag-
grieved cadets assembled on the pa
rade ground under cover of darkness
and INDUCED in hideous yells directed
at the superintendent. They also re-
moved the sunset gun from it's po-
sition at the north end of the parade
ground and dragged it over in front of
Col. Mills quarters, but were prevented
from firing it by the appearance of sew
eral sentinels, who promptly reported
the incident

The bridge at Good Intent over Timber
Creek has been raised four feet and iron
girders have been substituted for the

that the counties are connected with a
structure that is safe and durable, as the
other has been pronounced to be actually
unsafe
Mr. and Mrs. John Sun, of Colorado, are
spending few days with the wife's par

Last Monday afternoon, tramp ap-
preached the farm house Of Mr.. Harry
Firth, near this place, and handed Mrs.
Firth, who was alone at the time, book
in which was written request for money,
saying that the man wanted funds to re-
turn to Germany, his fatherland. Upon
the refusal of Mrs. Firth to accede to his
request, the tramp snatched the book from
her hand, struck her with it, and started
on run toward Blackwood. MIR. Firth,
who was working at the time in an adjon-
ing field, saw the man retreating rapidly
from the house and quickly came to the
house to learn the cause of the mans
strange actions. On being informed of the
facts, Mr.. Firth would have started i'll pur-
suit, but as the intruder was by this time CON
siderable distance from the house, and it
was not likely that he would return, he
decided to abandon pursuit. 1t has since
been ascertained that the man is the
same one who committed similar assault
on Mrs Jacob Salyman some time ago, and
he visits this neighborhood two or three
times a year. The man is, or pretends to
be, deaf and dumb, is about fifty years old,
has gray hair, and is tall and slender. 1t
is hoped that his actions will not be again
be repeated, for if apprehended he will
probably be dealt with as severely as the
law allows.
| 1t is reported that suckers have already
begun to appear in Timber creek.

most women. This remedy was originally de-
signed not exactly for Dyspepsia, but for a
most miserable stomach condition which no
drug or combination of drugs seemed to re-
heve,-an acrid. irritable; distressing. condition
caused likely by bad Liver. After many trials
and experiments the combination known as
Wells Stomach Elixir was happily hit upon.

and comfort, this remedy has given the sub
scriber. The inestimable value of this rem
cdy in such troubles is beyond computation.
From the hour of the conpounding of the first
bottle of Wells Stomach Elixir it has been o
valued and indispen able family medicine. and
it has been found by the women af the house
hold to be most effective and comforting
remedy at painful, distressing periods.
For Stomach, Bowel and Abdominal distress
and misery, Wells Stomach Elixir gives
prompt and salutary relief, comforting, sooth-
ing, and gently invigorant t. q weak, feeble,
debilitated stons.~1. To an acrid, raw, tender,
