CARS BLOW AT FREEDOM.
Resents Plea of ZemstUo for
Reform C0nUocation.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-Emperor Nicholas
formally notified the country to-day that the
agitation for a constitution and the convocation
of a national assembly is useless. Such at any
rate. is the popular construction placed upon the
Endorsement written in his own hand the
resolutions telegraphed to him by the Cherngov
zemstvo on December 20. begging him to con-
woke legally elected members of the zemstvos
to present programme Of reforms for his con-
sideration. The Car wrote the dispatch
consider the action Of the president to be
presumptuous and tactless. Questions of state
administration are Of no concern to the
ZemStvOS, whose functions and rights are clearly
defined by the law.
The Endorsement printed in THE Official Mes
senger" this morning has blasted the hopes Of
the extremists. 1t did not come a great sur
prise. The Emperor from the beginning, al
though he has shown himself favoraby disposed
toward a more liberal regime and in entire SYM
pathy with some of the zemstvo demands, had
resolved not to yield the principle of autocracy.
Upon this point it is understood all his adj
visers. including Prince Sviatopok- Mirsky. Min
lister of the Interior. agreed. The character of
the agitation which followed the meeting of the
presidents of the zemstvos and the action of
various provincial zemstvos and municipal coun-
ellis, coupled with the recent demonstrations at
St. Petersburg, Moscow and elsewhere, probably
served to strengthen the hands of the reac-
tonaries and convinced his majesty of the i'm
perattve necessity for plain spoken announce
ment of the soveregn's position on the main
point.
The reactionaries undoubtedly regard the En-
peror's action distinct victory. Neverthe-
less, the conferences over the reform measures
which will be taken still in progress at
Tsarskoe Selo. and will soon be published What
the immediate effect of the imperial rebuke ad-
ministered to the Chernigov zemstvo will be is
problematical
person Of high authority said to-day that
too much Importance should not be attached
to the Emperor's annexation. which, it is be-
lieved, the Car wrote in moment of i'll hUmor
because the Chernigov zemstvo telegraphed di-
rect to him instead Of through the Minister of
the Interior. This person pointed out the fact
that the publication did not appear in the official
portion of the paper, and, accordingly, he
gued that the publication secured by
person who interested in the effect which
would be produced

Resolutions of Respect.

AT a regular meeting Of Water.
fall Lodge. No. 773 l. O. O. f. held
In the Hall at New Grenada, Pa,
the following preamble and reso-
lutlons were adopted.
Whereas, IT. has pleased AL
mighty God to remove from our
midst and our hearts, after pro-
tracted illness and much suffer.
ing, our beloved brother, George
w. Corrie of Robertsdale, in the
vlgor of his intellectual manhood,
on June 4, 1904. Therefore be it
resolved--That in his death this
Lodge has lost brother of whom
we have reason to be proud; who
loved and lived the principles of
the order, and that the Presby-
terlan church where he resided,
has lost faithful Elder, a noble
Sunday school superintendent,
and leader in the Epworth
League, and the small children
have lost their best friend and
teacher-the family kind hus-
band and loving father.
That, While we deeply deplore
our loss; and his departure will
create vacancy in our ranks and
hearts, we believe that they who
lived noble lives, that their char
acters and teachings will ABIDE as
influence to others. We bow IN
humble submission to the will of
God, knowing that he who doeth
all things, has not dealt unwlsely
in:thus calling our brother hence.
That, We as officers and men,
bers of our Lodge extend our
heartfelt sympathies to the be.
reaved family-to the wife of his
youth, and the children who need
his counsel in life, commencing
them to God for coincidence in
this their hour of grief.
That, We as a Lodge present
these resolutions of respect to
the bereft family as an evidence
of our esteem of one whom they
loved to call father and whom we
honored as brother.
That, In respect to the memory
of our departed brother our
Charter be draped IN mourning
for 80 days.
That, These resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the
Lodge, I copy presented to the
bereaved family, aud that the
same be published IN the county
papers.

knowing that many Of our read.
ers, like ourselves, do not have
money to burn, and feeling that
it is our duty to take care of the

we should be compelled to scru-

handle. 1t is not only bad that
some fellow should put coulter
felt bill on us, but we stand a
chance of getting into the penl.
tentiary If we use one IN an ordi.
nary business transaction, or one
is found jn our possesslon-even
though we may be entirely ignor
ant of the fact that 1t is spurious.
The bill in question is said to
be well executed, and not easily
detected; but it is we'll enough to
keep an eye on your change, and
then if you get caught, 1t will not
be entirely your own fault. We
almost forgot to tell you that the
counterfeit is a HUNDRED DOLLAR
