That there should be more or less OF
bewilderment and mystery IN the
stories concerning Count Tostofs eN-
communication, his connection with the
students riots and his Punishment is
inevitable from the system of news
suppression which prevails In Russia.
The first Of the students outbreaks in
st Petersburg occurred on the 4th OF
March, but there was nothing In the
local papers on the subject until March
10. on that date an official organ, The
Government Messenger, printed a
review of the disturbances from the
beginning, under strict instructions
from the authorities, but no other paper
was allowed to say word. The ~.
Petersburg public and the larger public
outside were compelled to get their in

While Tolstol's criticism Of modern
Christianity will evoke an indignant
protest from millions Of sincere men
and women, thoughtful people general
ly win concur In what he has to say
about the evils Of mlitarism. There
has been a sad recrudescence OF the
military spirit In the past few years,
and the world is more than ever an
armed camp. We see the growth OF
this spirit among the speaking
peoples as well as among the nations OF
Continental Europe. Abolish the i'm

Russian humanitarian well says the

A young lady OF Brunswick, N. j.,
thinks that town has too many saloons,
She proposes to raid them, not with
hatohets, but with rhymed tracts. Here
is one:
IF to buy this you should choose
1t would cost you only the price Of a
booze,
There's a desire running through my
veins
TO save the pocketbook and the brains,

And visit the saloons throughout the

Control of Railroads.

T. w. B. (Nekron, N. H.): What
countries have railroads owned and
carried on by their government?
What are the advantages, if any, of
government?
The United States and Great
Britain are the only two first ma
tons that do not own and operate
some Of their railways. In COM
parison with private ownership.
government control is proved to
have been a great success in every
case. There is reduction in goods
rates and passenger fares and the
entire abolition of the dangerous
preferential system. abolition of
strikes, an improvement in the
postoffice and an improved condi-
ton of the overworked and under
paid railway worker, who, when
disabled or worn out by long SER
vice, is pensioned by the govern
ment. In New Zealand. whose rail-
ways are not only owned by the
State, but nearly all built by the
State, the wages of the employees
average 30 per cent higher than
those paid on the railways of the
United States. You can ride thir-
ty miles for 10 cents The annual
profits of the railroads, postal tele-
graph, telephone and express are
sufficient to pay all the federal
taxes. Notwithstanding the great
extent of the country and its sparse
population, first class service is
rendered the people. 1t has been

His Stock in Trade.

Here are some extremely we'll
put and truthful remarks by the
editor of the Albion. Indiana, Era
concerning a subject of the first
Importance to every publisher:
"The publisher of a newspaper
has one thing to sell and one thing
to rent. He has the newspaper to
sell, and the space in his columns
to rent. Can anyone inform us
why he should be expected to give
away either the one or the other?
He can, if he chooses, and he does,
as q matter of fact, furnish great
deal of space rent free. But it does
not follow that he ought to be ex
pected to do so. 1t ought to be
recognized as contribution, ex-
actly as would be the giving away
of sugar or coffee by grocer. But,
strange to say, it is not looked upon
in that light at all; and yet every
body knows that the existence of a
newspaper depends upon the rent
of it's space and the sale Of the pa
per, Just the same as merchants
success depends on selling his goods,
instead of giving them away"

THE WAY TO TALK
TO BUILD UP THE TOWN.
A Hearty Cooperation of all
Brings Good Results.

The way to build up the city is
to encourage people to come here'
Suppose every farmer now doing
business in this county would band
together and say to intending set
tiers: "Stay out, there are more
farmers here now than there is need
Of We can raise all the farm pro.
ducts the market will justify. There
is no room for any more" What
would be the result? 1t is easy to
foretell. Suppose every man en-
gagged in labor, or in business, in
any profession would say, "Stay
out our ranks are crowded; there is
no room for any more" What
then, would be the result? Suppose
the railroad company now doing
business here would say, "Stay out;
we can meet the needs of all the
people in this valley and have a
little leisure time BESIDES" What
would be the result? Yes, what
would?
Encourage the people who come
in. Tell them this is the best coun-
try under the sun. Show them
around, but don't attempt to graft
them. Grating will do more to
injure community than scourge
of smallpox. Treat new corners az
though they were part of the HUI
man family and have some rights
in this world. There is room for
all but the selfish individual who
cares neither for God, man or the
devil just 80 long as he can keep in
the swim of impiously seeking
mammon against the interests of his
fellow-men.
And further, remember that there
are other men in the world just as
good as you are and just as liable
to be the big pig during the next
decade, just as you were during the
last. No sensible man can be bluff
ed into the idea that there is no
room on this earth for him. There
were men here, and gentlemen, too,
before buffers came and they are
liable to stay here too till the crack
of doom for that matter. No, it is
not common sense to play the hog
when it was provided in the Begin
ming of the nation that all men are
equal, and created equal, too, at
that.
The city that prospers is the one
that opens the doors to all and say,
"Welcome." Seattle prospers be-
cause she invites people from all
corners of the earth and when a
poor devil gets out of a job they
secure one for him. This is the
right kind of spirit that should pre-
vail. A community that never
grows is one pervaded by an atmos.
phere of effete conservatism and
mad selfishness. Get rid OF such
wild notions that lead you to think
there is no room here for more PEG.
pie. Bring them in if there is no
other way and see that they are
justly treated and all will 60 we'll
