THE TURMOIL IN RUSSIA.

The Russian government in COM
munication to the Poles warns them
that the attempt to gain autonomy will
be crushed and declares that reforms
will be withheld until the people bow
to the cars will.
Details of the recent outbreak in
Russia only add to its horrors. 1t is
shown that only a few towns in the
empire escaped during the reign of
terror. In Tomsk, Siberia, 600 per-
sons were burned to death in a thea
ter, and the "Black Hundred" and the
police in Moscow butchered parading
school children.
A massacre of. Jews, similar to that
which has occurred at Odessa, Kishi-
new and other centers, occurred at Is
mail, Bessarabia. A mob marched
through the Jewish quarter. killing
every Jew who could be found ORA
goons fired on the rioters, killing AZ
and wounding ia.
Russian sailors and soldiers at Cron-
stadt in revolt fought fierce battle
in the streets, in which at least so per-
sons were killed and many times that
number wounded.
All is quiet at Cronstadt. The mu-
tinous sailors have all submitted and
the leaders of several hundred have
been deported from the island.

The northerner making a flying trip
through the south, getting his impress
sions very largely from what he is able
toview from car window, is apt to give
the country an i'll name, Judge il
worn and poverty-stricken." He
should, ere he dilate on superficial i'm
pressions, get at facts. We call to
his attention an editorial in the Chi
cago Record-Herald:
Reference has been made in these
columns to the leadership of our
southern states in the production of
cotton, and it is not surprising to find
the Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, regarding the export figures of
the past fiscal year with complacency.
Among exports exclusively from the
south it includes: Cotton, 1919, 9G5, OLA;
cottonseed oil, Sis, 1902; cottonseed
cake and meal, $13,S97,I7S; naval
stores, $16,106 GAS; phosphates, $685.
274. This makes total of $451 $780,
Oil, and that alone was nearly one
third of all our domestic exports. But,
besides the articles named, the south
exports other products which it raises
or manufacturers in comomn with other
parts of the country-timber, tobacco,
petroleum, cotton goods, provisions,
grain, coal, cattle, fruits, iron and steel,
wood manufactures, leather-and its
share of such exports is roughly esti-
mated at $1S3, 100000 Hence total of
SOFA, 900, 900, or Al per cent. of tho
value of all the exports of the country.

received by the Mlill operatives, we
must, ere we picture state of alb
Sect poverty, take into consideration
the fact that almost all of the neces-
saries of life are to be had in the
south at much lower price than in
the north. The tenement system OF
the north is practically unknown
down there, each family lives by it
self, about the cottage has a bit OF
ground where much OF the living may
be raised at practically no outlay OF
money. The mill companies often
getting their ground for nothing, the
former owners glad to favor the val
liable new industry, can afford to pro-
vide the half acre about the cottage
of the tenant mill worker. AS rule,
the mill towns are laid out with care
for the comfort of the residents, with
attention to hygienic conditions. They
have school houses, churches, recrea-
ton grounds, not infrequently gas and
waterworks. There is not the hud-
ding characteristic of northern mill
town, but a combination of country
air with some desirable city advan-
tages.
The great iron fields of the southern
Appalachian system have been opened
UP. The growth of this industry was
marked as early IS 1890, which year
the yield of pig iron was 1,750000 tons
as compared with the $4,000 tons OF
1870. The Manufacturers Record" or

some interesting information on ths
changes occurring after the south de-

St. Petersburg, Nov. 14-For the
purpose of restoring order and public
security in the provinces chiefly affect
ed by agrarian disorders, it has been
decided to send to the provinces of Sa-

dictatorial powers.
They will not only have the right to
report directly to the emperor, but al

take over complete control of affairs.
The instructions to the aides, which
are published as an official communica-
ton this morning, intrust them with
the direction of all troops and police
in these provinces, subordinate to them
all organs of government except the
judiciary, direct them to discharge of
ficials at their discretion, to arrest all
persons considered dangerous to public
security, to close all spirit shops, TO
suspend newspaper and other publica-
tions, and to take other measures nee IS
