Gar swore BY His Ear.

The uneducated peasants in the
Cherson province of Russia have an
extraordinary belief that the Car has
only one ear, says Tit-Bits.
They are confirmed in their belief
by pictures and photographs of the
Car showing a side face view and
naturally exhibiting only one ear. They
account for the absence of the other
in the following manner:
Some time ago, they say, a deputa-
ton from their province waited upon
the Car. and in the course of the
meeting the Car is said to have stated
that all Russian land would be divided
equally among the peasants of the va
rious districts.
To this one of the deputation boldly
said:
'As sure as you cannot see your own
ears you will not divide the land"
The Cars reply to this was to cut
off one of his (the Cars ears; which
he placed upon the table, remarking as
he did so:
"As surely as 1 now see my ear 1
will divide the land
To this day the Cherson peasants
firmly believe that he has only one
ear, and unless the Car visits them in
person and proves to them by optical
demonstration that he possesses the
correct number this extraordinary be-
lief will not be shaken.

THE ST. PETERsRURG RIOT.

Does the riot which occurred in st.
Petersburg on Sunday mean that Rus
STA is on the verge of a revolution?
Ihere isn't much doubt that if the
opponents of the government had
arms and leader there would be trou5
blous times in the domains of the Car.
1t is impossible to say how wide
spread and deep-seated the feeling
against the government is, but there
is some ground for thinking that the
revolutionary sentiment is much more
generally entertained than the Rus
sian government thinks it is.
1t is unfortunate for the Zemstvo
movement that an outbreak against
the government occurred at this time.
because there is lack of harmony be-
hTeen those who were participants
In the riot and the leaders Of that
movement. The rioters are not
willing to accept anything short of a
constitution and popular assembly
composed of representatives chosen by
the people. The Zemstvoists are rath-
er moderate in their demands. They
are asking for some important re-
forms, with the hope of course of
getting additional concessions after
they have gained a position from
which they can speak more authorita-
lively of the needs of the people,
The leaders of Sundays riot are not
willing to accept few reforms now and
others later on. They want their de-
mands complied with at once. They
ought to know, and probably do know
the government will not grant these
demands. and that they are not strong
enough to compel it to do so. What
folly is it, then, for these to spoil the
chances of the zemstvos Of accom-
plishing anything! Their programme
is so radical that there is no PROBABLE
ity that the government will give il a
moments consideration. but 1t might
have granted some OF the reforms
asked for by the Zemstvos. Now
however. it wouldn't be surprising II
the government should return to the
policy that prevailed under the as
sassinated minister. Won Plehve.
But the riot demonstrated one thine
pretty clearly, and that is that the
war with japan is not popular with
the working classes. They don't feel
they have anything to gain by II. and
1t is imposing hardships upon them
They are furnishing most Of the SOL
diers that are sent to the front and
their taxes are being increased. with
no hope of governmental reforms that
would open the way for Improvements
in their condition 1t is not strange that
they have little or no sympathy with
the war.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: That bill of Representative
Bourke Cochran's providing for the
publication OF all contributions of over
$50 made toward the election Of pres
idential electors and z congressman,
may result in a good many contribu-
tons from the sameJ source Of exactly
$50 each. But there isn't any strong
belief that the bill will eyer become
q law"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
(Dem) says: IF the Republican Con-
gress deprives Tennessee of one Con-
gresham, that will mean the disfran-
chisement Of $4,000 negroes in this
state, or about two-fifths Of the whole
negro population. Under the present
state laws, no negro whether educated
or illiterate is DISTINGUISHED, but of
course II Congress deprives the ne
groes of the suffrage, the state viii
have to confirm the action of that
body"
The New Orleans Times Democrat
(Dem.) says: "A feeling Of good will
and frlendliness toward the President
has been growing throughout the South
recently, and Il Is 10 be regretted that
anything should occur tndt would tend
70 change this condition or 10 rekindle

Ex-Gov. Hugh S. Thompson of
South Carolina, who died few days
ago, was fond of telling an incident

A few years ago he was asked by
the Gridiron Club to make an address

WILL THE BALTIC FLEET BE RE
CALLED.

If L be true that the Gar has de.
cided to recall the Baltic fleet there
will be no great amount of surprise
Before the Russian ships at Port Ar
thur were destroyed it was thought to
be a rather unwise thing to do to send
thai fleet to the Far East, because OF
its unfitness to cope with the feet
that Japan would send against it.
True, it was argued that Japan would
have to guard against the escape of
the warships at Port Arthur, and that
that would so weaken her naval pow
er that she wouldn't be able to make
much of a showing against the Baltic
fleet, but she has repaired about all
! of her ships that were injured, and is
| in d much better condition to meet
the Baltic fleet and to continue the
| blockade at Port Arthur than the
Russians thought she would be when
they started their Baltic fleet on its
long journey.
But since that fleet started the Jap
anese have destroyed the Russian war
ships at Port Arthur, and the block
aiding fleet is practically free for use
against the Baltic fleet. 1t is this
fact doubtless that has caused the Car
to decide to recall the Baltic fleet, if
in fact, he has decided to recall it.
There isn't much reason for doubling
that if 1t should proceed to its desti-
nation it would meet with about the
f,4 l.. l..
Russian naval ships that have come
into contact with the warships of
Japan. The Japanese are ever so
much better qualified to handle mod
ern warships than the Russians are.
They understand them better and are
better equipped in every way for con-
Quoting war on the sea. 1t is doubt
full if there is any other nation that
can do more with modern warships
than the Japanese can.
The Russians are just as brave as
the Japanese are and in a battle they
would do just as good fighting, but
the officers, gunners and sailors
haven't had the thorough training the
Japanese officers, gunners and sailors
have had The Japanese have DEM
onstrated that they have let no points
escape them that would be of advan-
tage to them in an engagement. If
therefore, the Baltic fleet should pro-
coed on its journey the world wouldn't
be surprised if it should be met some
where Unexpectedly before reaching
its destination and destroyed. And if
the Black sea fleet should get out and
go to the Far East, it would probably
meet with the same fate. Both the
Black sea and the Baltic fleets, ac-
cording to the accounts of them that
have appeared in the dispatches, have
defects that would make them an easy
prey for the Japanese fleet. Russia
may succeed on land, but the pros
pect that she will help her cause
much by means Of her navy isn't
promising.

AGE OF A COMMON crow.

Orrville Correspondence Toronto Globe.
George McCarren, a farmer living
near this city, has just received a
much priced little aluminium plate
marked as follows: Return to George
McCarren, Orrville, o." with which an
interesting story is connected.
George McCarren, ST., father of the
man who received the little billet of
aluminium, was an eccentric naturalist,
and spent much time in the study of
birds and insects. During McCarren's
youth, about twenty years ago, he says
he remembers being told by his father
the elder McCarren, of a dispute the
latter had had with fellow naturalist
of Akron, o., as to the age to be at
tanned by a common crow, and finally
to settle the matter McCarren attached
an aluminium tag to a crow captured
in the fields and sent the bird forth
with the plate securely fastened to its
neck by wires. The legend on the plate
requested the finder to return it to
McCarren in case anything should hap
pen to the bird.
AS McCarren, Jr., remembers it. the
two men made a bet as to whether
the plate would be returned within
twenty years. If the crow were killed
or died they counted on the little bill
let being found and returned to the adj
dress on the plate. If this were not
|. returned they believed ii would be suf-
ficient evidence that the bird would be
still alive. McCarren bet that the plate
would not be returned within that
time; hence he won the bet. The crow
was shot by a farmer boy named An
gers in Holmes county last week, and
the billet returned to the son of the
bettor, the older McCarren having died
before he could realize the proceeds
and the satisfaction of winning his
wager. The little billet is highly priz-
ed by the McCarrens as memento of
the fathers eccentricity.
