FoREsEEs A BIG RUSSIAN TRADE.

The United States consul to Warsaw
foresees a wonderful revival OF trade IN
southern Russia and Russia Poland, af-
ter the termination of the present war.
He says that factories have suspended
operations or are running on reduced
forces or on decreased hours. The
credits Of the merchants and manufac-
turers are bad, owing to the depressed
Industrial conditions, and numerous
failures have occurred. These adverse
times will give way to n better out
look than has prevailed for years If
the consul proves to be correct in his
estimates
1t is to be hoped that our represent
tative's opinion will prove justified by
developments, for the tax gatherer will

THE BOY AND THE PUP.
New Hartford Review.l


In too many instances discrimination
is made against the boy. If man had
a pup worth two dollars he will look
after 1t carefully, and he will not let II
run around town at night. II 1t gets
out Of its kennel one Of the children
discover the misfortune and comes In
to the house saying, THAT pup has
got out again." In moment that
home is all excitement the whole fam
ily start to hunt him; they look IN the
barn, under the porch; they whistle
and call and shout but he does not APP
pear. The wife going upstairs on an
errand, finds the pup asleep IN the
middle Of the spare bed; 1t would be
a pity to disturb him, he looks so
comfortable, so he Is left alone, and the
family are all happy once more be-
cause the lost is found.
But what about the boy that be-
longs to that family? O, 1t Is very
different with him. He Is turned loose
at an early age to go when he pleases,
where he pleases, do what he pleases.

There Is a limit to brain and nerve
force. and when we overstep the limit.
nervous prostration Is the result. The
common causes which exhaust nervous

well as all nervous troubles. 1t not only
cures, but cures quickly and perma-

THE END OF THE WAR.

Russia has given notice that the war
must go on and that she will listen to
no proposals OF mediation and brook
no interference. She forsees in
present settlement tho probable DOWN
fall Of her prestige among nations, and
the possible loss OF the millions and the
labor of years that she has expended
IN her plan to dominate the east coast
OF Asia, and to establish q rendezvous
Cor her fleets and a port for her COM
n,ercs. On tho other hand with Russia
In the ascsndancy on the east coast
Japan lies under the continual menace
Of an interruptions and aggressive ma
ton. Japan peans to control the
coast. So doeS Russia. Each is APP
parently ready to fight to the last man
ana the last dollar for the fuifillment
Of its desires. And this brings UP the
question whether they should be per-
snitted to do SO. Sooner or later it is
evident that tho Japanese Russian
war. II It continues to go on, will en-
brotl other nations ana bring about
general war. disastrous In its effects
upon the commerce and civilization OF
the world. In self protection other
civilised nations Will be justified In
Intervening to force a settlement when
the peace Of the world demands such
action. The time has gone by when
nations may continue to war to utter
exhaustion. There Is a point where
the interests Of civilization takes pre-
cedence Of their private quarrels, and
when this point has been reached the
policemen Of the world will pull the
contestants apart and bid them keep
tho peace. It Is not at all likely that
the Anal settlement OF the war will
be made between the warning powers
Others will settle It for them and they
must abide by the decision.
Japan Is ready for mediation. Her
terms are practically those she offered
before the war began, the evacuation Of
Manchuria by Russia, Its neutrality un-
der China and the open door for the
worlds trade. She has the best Of the
argument before the bar Of world
opinion and when the war ends by the
intervention Of the powers and that
appears the only end in prospect, Jap
ans terms will be made the terms OF
the arbiters.

obtains many generous contributions

There Is In Denver, however, a mil

Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He Is
a generous man, and in his own way
he assists the poor, but to organized
charity. for some reason, he heartily
objects. The bishop often asks him
for subscriptions, but these requests
are almost invariably refused.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
Our Forefathers BulIdsd welI.

In all OF our rejoicing over Roose-
vets election, and the unprecedented
popular vote in his favor, the tendency
is to lose sight Of the greater re-
suit in this, that our system Of election
OF public officials, on Nov. 8, 1904,
proved most successful, in securing
the choice OF the people. We are apt
to hastily condemn many things In
our form Of government, IL (to us)
needed reforms do not come on first
call. Many times has 1t been put in
print, that the people do not elect the
president of the United States. That
politicians select the candidates, ana
then by our system of electing electors
in the different states 1t is possible
for a defeated candidate to have more
votes, !. e., personal votes, than the
successful candidate. This IL probably
true. and has already occurred, IL the
writer's memory serves him we'll. But
that the people can elect Roosevelt
both by our political system and by
popular vote was shown Nov. 8, 1904.
But this Is not all. Our system Of
elections proves another thing. It is
this: Admitting that our politicians
name the candidates, 1t Is impossible to
prevent the elections Of the best Of
these candidates. Ii the people use
their brains and mark their ballots.
Now while the results are fresh in our
minds, look over the country and no.
tice this year that the voters did
use their brains and did mark
their ballots. In Minnesota the people
elected democratic governor and yet
gave Roosevelt $4,000 plurality. In
Missouri the result was democratic
governor and a republican president
receiving q mjority of votes. In Mas
sachusetts a democratic governor re-
ceives q plurality Of 100000 votes and
Roosevelt $4,000 plurality. In Illinois
republican governor receives more
votes than Roosevelt. In Wisconsin a
republican governor is elected by the
aid Of republican votes, probably TWEEN
ing for a democratic governor, and
voting for Roosevelt or Parker, as
their consciences dictated.
And this is not all. Never before has
the labor vote been cast more intelli-
gently. Speaking, not politically but
ACCIDENTALLY, the labor vote put their
strength where it would do the most
good. In some states these laboring
men were convinced that while Roose-
welt was in sympathy with their views
the democratic state candidates were
more in line with such views than the
republican state candidates. This is
fair explanation Of results in Mime
sofa and Massachusetts, and includes
the farmer vote with the labor vote.
In both Of these localities, re-

the demand of majorities in
both parties. In Missouri Folk, the
democratic governor-elect owes his
position to thousands Of republican
votes, while Roosevelt is indebted 20

cases such votes were given to men
representing ideals Of honesty and
