politics. Every man has right to his

backbone to express himself. His

We don't believe anyone imagines
that an arrest under the splitting ordi-
nance would ever be made by any
peace officer of this city. At some
places on Main street the practice of
splitting on the sidewalk is done
with so much disregard that the
places referred to become absolutely
disgusting. One of the places is in
front of the Pastime. If the officers
would do their duty they would either
, make some arrests or would stop others
from making the sidewalk at mat
place a cesspool of expectoration They
cannot claim ignorance of conditions
there as it is one of the abiding places
of all officers at some time during the
day or night. If Mavor Sampliner
desires to make record upon this
ordinances which was recently placed
upon the city statutes. he can find
abundant opportunity. 1t is not the
single individual who occasionally
forgets himself and expectorates OIL
the sidewalk, but thu spittle hog who
disregards decency at any time and
makes a common practice of emitting
his foulness at all times.

1t is very ridiculous for news
paper to charge lack of information
against another and then repeat what
the other newspaper has said almost
verbatim. The other evening publi-
cation made this charge and then re-
peated the story of the GET RICH
QUICK proposition identically as was
stated in this paper Saturday night
And by the way Superintendent Mil
ler's explanation was about as weak as
it possibly could be made. The Sem
tinel would be glad to make such an
other expose land be laughed at as
the other paper declares it was Well,
we hardly think there will be any
stock of the GET -RICH.QUICK pro-
position sold in this meek o. the
woods. The principal argument ad-
vanced i'll the interview with Super
intendent Miller, prepared by himself,
was an attack ON the editor of this
paper. That hardly makes good de-
fense in rebuttal of our charge that
the superintendent was nursing an
unholy desire to GET RICH QUICK.

There is considerably more of an
influx of strangers and settlers into
the valley at the present time, than
the general public is aware. A visit
to one of the lodges shows many Wis
itors present, who acknowledge that
they have come to become permanent
residents of the city or valley. We
are growing unconsciously all the

efforts to secure immigration are not
bearing so much fruit as we would

The most astonishing strength of
/ the Russian army is in its caval ry
/ branch The agricultural department
at Washington estimates that i'll all
the world there are about 50. 00O, 600
/ horses. The Russian empire alone has
/ 30, 600. 900 horses. or nearly half the
grand total. In the regular army of
the czar there are no less than half a
million horses, and this number in
time of war might be easily doubled.
How valuable this vast cavalry
force may be Ill the Far East may be
questioned, for. allowing to each
horse a daily portion of % pounds of
fodder and taking it for granted that
Manchuria and the adjacent provinces
raise little that might be used for
horse food, it is hard to see how any
large number of horses can be perma-
nently maintained at the far end of
single track railroad more than .. 900
miles long.
In the Russian cavalry. of course.
tie most picturesque corps is that of
the Cossacks. The Cossacks are really
professional soldiers They almost
live on horseback and are the only
horsemen in the world who equal the
rough riders of the Far Western states
i'll feats of horsemanship. They come
from about the Black sea, and out of
total population of 3. 600. 600 furnish
l5O. GOO men for the imperial army.
The horse ana uniform of the Cos
sacks are furni shed by the various
Cossack tribal communities. and in
camp the curious tribal signs hang
over the entrances to the quarters OF
each regiment. In active service the
Cossacks are the eyes and ears of the
Russian army. They are the scouts.
the pathfinders the couriers and the
orderlies when desperate and danger
Gus work is to be done. They are
much more independent than the com
mon soldiers of the army and are also
treated with much more consideration
by the military authorities.
The Cossacks are armed With rifles.
without bayonets. with swords, with
out guards. and the men in the front
ranks in each company also carry
lauces. They take great care of their
horses, and are esteemed as among the
most daring tireless and and relent-
less soldiers i'll the world.

The Russian Soldier.

The wages of common soldier III
the regular army of Russia do not
amount to more than ! cent dav,
though his food. clothing and equip
ment are provided by the government.
His egular allowance for spending
money for all purposes is just little
more than ruble year. but extras
of varions kinds bring the grand total
up to little less than 81. This sum
is supposed to cover all his expendi
lures for tobacco. spirits and luxuries
of every kind. The enlisted men in
the United States army are paid more
than three times that am cunt per
month. or about 40 times as much per
year. When it is considered how
little the r lssian private has to spend
it is easy to see why he should be ca
ger and quick ION the loot.
The Russian officers are paid a little
better, but not so much so as to cause
any particular gaspipg for breath. a
Russian lieutenant gets about 5000
year. captain about $500, and a ma
jcr $3.50. 1t will be seen. therefore.
that such of the Russian officers as
