CHANCE FOR A STRONG MAN

There is a chance for a big man in
Russia just now. If the ear has in
him the elements of greatness, he now
has an opportunity to place his name
in Russian history by the side of that
of Peter the Great. No one attributes
these elements to him.
A monarchical form of government
has this superiority to republican
orm. that the rulers can be trained
rom babyhood for the high positions
they are to fill: but that natural great
ness, without which no training can
make a really great ruler. cannot be
insured. In the hurlyburly Of a de-
mOcracy. it is more likely that born
leaders will rise to the top than that
the spark of genius will be vouch-
safed to the heir of royalty. But even
in an absolute monarchy. in times OF
stress, there is a powerful tendency &c
bring forward born leaders whose
spirit has not already been weakened
by the atmosphere of despotism.

COUNTY AS A HAY DEALER.

Frank Smith, late county commits
sioner, who will probably be reappoint-
ed to the office he recently vacated
wants taxpayers to understand that
the ninety tons of hay recently pur-
chased by the county for the use OF
road gangs is not to be given away, nut
is to be sold to men working teams on
the roads. In this way the county will
get its money back and if need be the
county could make little interest on
its money by charging a small advance
on the Wholesale cost of the hay. The
county bought GO tons at 81 a ton and
80 tons at $14.
Mr. Smith explains that the market
was high when the county made its
purchase. while the market was low
when the government bought hay for
the garrison at 81 a ton. The hay
purchased by the county was wheat
and timothy. The purchase was made
early i'll January.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to state that on February 18th
the Spokesman Review reported that
Yakima grain and alfalfa hays had
slumped to SO ton. The Walla Walla
market seems to have been consloer-
ably higher.
