Tricked by Union Republioans.


It is, and has been. very plain that
the local option advocates were trick
led. The Union Republican party in
the platform adopted without opposi-
ton at it's State convention declared
In favor of the submission Of the ques-
tion Of license or no license to the peo-
pie. An earnest campaign was made
at least in Kent county in favor Of
local option. Pledges We're asked by
the so-called temperance advocates of
the candidates of both parties for the
Legislature that I'm the event Of their
election they would favor the submis-
sion Of the question, and we think that
such pledges We're obtained from most
Of those who We're elected. In view Of
the platform declaration and the
pledges made. II is understood that
the bulk of the so-called temperance
vote I'm this county was cast for the
Union Republican party or at least
for the candidates of that party for
Senator and Representative i'm the
General Assembly.
The defeat of local option cannot be
laid upon the Democratic party as
suoh I'm the House two OF the three
Democratic Representatives from II g
county voted for the House bill, and
the only Democratic Senator from this
county signed the petition.

of revolution. 1t may not be to-day or
tomorrow that the Russian people will
go free, but any check now given will
make the later leaps toward liberty more
determined and more dangerous to the
autocracy.
What happened in the Russian capital
Sunday was a massacre. The Cars
ieutenants had not even the excuse that
they were attacked by militant mob.
All the accounts agree in stating that
women and children accompanied the
men who sought to present their petit
lions to their sovereign. It is asserted
even that people were Intentionally en-
couraged to assemble and 'shepherded"
to their doom-in order that the slaugh-
ter might be so awful as to terrorize the
masses all over Russia. If such really
was the policy Of the government while
the men responsible for it may not i'm
mediately meet the fate that such saw
agery deserves, they will not profit by it.
Their brutality has reused the outer
world to pitch of anger and contempt
such as has almost no parallel in history,
and it is practically certain that it has
solicited the mass of the Russian people
to oppose them.
What form this opposition will assume,
what practical steps will be taken to
enforce the demands for liberty and JUS
tice, cannot now be foreseen; but, if there
be any virtue in the lessons of history,
revolution is certain and retribution prob
able.

the year of reform. Russia may yet

new one with Sunday, Jan. %, 1906

THE WAR IN THE ORIENT.
Interest of the Public Transferred from
Manchuria to ST. Petersburg.

Interest of the Public Transferred from
Manchuria to ST. Petersburg.
The interest of the public in the
contest between Russia and Japan Tor
tho moment has been transferred from
Port Arthur to st. Petersburg, ana
the news from the Russian capital has
been vastly more exciting than that
from Manchuria. The march OF events
in the vicinity of the Cars palace has
attracted more attention than TIE
maneuyers of the armies on the
Shakhe River.
To the horrors of war in the field
Russia has added the terror OF blood
spilled upon it's own hearthstone. Rus
sian soldiery seems more successful in
shooting down women and children
and unarmed workmen than IN con-
ouering the empires armed foes in the
Orient
The armies were quiet last week.
The cavalrymen who cut the railroad
south of Liaoyang eluded the Japan
csc who attempted to cut Off their re-
treat, but the success of that raid has
not as vet induced the Russians to
make another.
It is reported, and probably the re-
port is trustworthy, that many of the
heavy siege guns used by the Japan
csc at Port Arthur are now on the line
OF the Shakhe, and that Marquis
Oyama has received large reinforce
ments from Gen. Nogi's army. He
does not appear to have made any use
of them, although the weather has
been pleasant for January.
Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet is sup
Dosed to be somewhere near Madagas-
car. That no news of any kind should
come from it is strange. 1t is still the
protested intention of the Russian
government to send the remainder Of
the navy to reinforce the admiral, but
the industrial disturbances in Russia
may delay the execution of the plan.
The men employed at the shipbuilding
works, where submarine boats, gum
boats and torpedo boats are under con-
struction and war material for naval
purposes is being prepared, are on a
strike. 1t will be months before the
Russians will be in a position to dis
pute with their opponents the control
OF the Yellow and Japan Seas.
