PEOPLE UNFIT TO RULE.
". P0biedOnOstsefs Vie1C-Erpects
More Disorders.

st. Petersburg, July 23.-That Russia is not
yet ripe for parliamentary institutions is the
view of Constantine Petrovitch Pobiedonostsefr
procurator general of the Holy Synod. who for
two generations has been one of the moving
spirits in Russia's internal policy and in his old
age. and amid flood of Western IDEAS holds
steadfastly and honestly 20 his faith in autoc-
racy and orthodoxy.
/. NJ. Pobiedonostseff to-day appeared TO be in
no wise shaken by the attempt made on his life
last Thursday He said that his assailant al
most brushed against him. The man then drew
a repeating pistol but was instantly seized bv
another passenger from the train. NJ Po-
biedonOstsen added:
The causes for the attacks on me lie in 10
norance and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF the fact
that for ten years / have had influence i'm
legislation and dishonesty of the most dastardIy
sort because Of unpopular measures and poll
cies with which l had absolutely nothing to do
also due to unprincipled and irresponsible
Russian papers printed abroad. which igno-
rantly fire the imagination and inspired the at
tempt on me last year.
Passing 10 a frank discussion OF the present
reform movement. NJ Pobiedonostsen said that
the reformers were largely theorists who were
attempting TO fit the cloth OF Western institu-
uons TO q nation having its own peculiar and
distinctive ideas and institutions He con-
tinued
Whatever the outcome OF the present move-
ment may be, there will be more agrarian dis
orders and uprisinSs like that headed by the
rebel Cossack Yemelyan Pugatcheff and more
mutinies and rebellions. There Is no doubt that
only such reforms and institutions will take root
as have foundations OF a national character
Only such can insure civil freedom Only a
nation capable OF local sen-government can
work out and preserve free Institutions and
guarantee civil freedom. Otherwise a new gov
ernment would be bound TO produce as unsatis-
factory bureaucrats as those whom II seeks to
replace The present reform movement has on
It's banner the familiar falsehoOds. Universal
Suffrage" and "The VIII OF the People" The
movement certainly indicates a Weakening In
authority. IL may find encouragement In vacll-
lation. but 0f itself shows little Intellectual
power frmness.
IL is no secret that freedom and national gov
ernment are mere theories to our reformers-
not sufficiently studied and not at all under

TALES OF HEROISM.
BraUery of Bennington's Cre1c Com
mented Upon by WineSSes.

San Diego, Cal. July 22.-Every effort aboard
the Bennington to-day is bent toward reaching
the dead bodies beneath the steel bulkheads in
the closed and flooded compartments. fire
engine from the local Fire Department will be
utilized TO pump out the water which during
the night and morning periods of high tide, rose
still higher in engine and boiler rooms.
Out of the confusion that followed the disas-
ter and the work of rescue come thrilling stories
of heroism and self-sacrifce. The bravery of
the crew was commented on by all who had op-
portunity to witness the scenes following the ac-
cident. Men who were badly injured and scald-
ed worked to rescue those who worse off
than themselves.
All the special instances Of heroism probably
will never be given. The self-sacrifcing efforts
on the part of the physicians and scores of
nurses were also commented on. with praise for
all. Every who could be made useful at
the hospitals was put to work and those who
could not were asked to return and relieve
those who accepted.
r. G. Hopp, fireman, makes the first state
ment as to the cause of the accident. He says
that shortly before the explosion one of the
boilers was found TO be leaking badly and the
came the explosion occurred. Hopp saw all
ABOUT him men killed outright, and he himself
was stunned for a moment

especially delighted with the KOOtenai Canyon.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-07-21
Social Unrest q Factor.

Here comes a unique message of op-
timism. 1t is from the Wall Street
Journal. In discussing the hopeful
things of the day this journal cata-
logues first material prosperity" and
second. social unrest" that is TO say,
popular discomfort. and popular de
mands for betterment.
II says that somehow the idea has
spread that success is another name
for conspiracy'-an idea that is GER
tainly justified by recent revelations
of high finance.
Because the people are demanding a
change in business methods and in the
laws. some timid souls fear the out
come. But the Journal concludes:
we take a different view. We re-
gard the social unrest as being quite
as much an occasion for optimism as
the material prosperity If the people
were corrupt, but contented; if they
were prosperous, but callous 10 wrong,
the situation would indeed be hopeless.
But the unrest which seems so alarm
ing in reality is a sign of hope II
means that the conscience of the PEG
pie IS being stirred, that they are de
manding a higher code of morality in
the administration of business by cor
porations, and that progress is max
ing toward loftieT standards"
The diagnosis, though coming from
d rather remarkable source. is believed
to be a correct one. This financial
journal sees that either the demands
of the people for "a higher code of
morality and a more equitable admin
istratiOn of law must be realized Or
revolution. There will be no revolu-
ton because
The people are interrupted.
Their consciences are stirred.
They demand better results.
And because the people are not cal
loused and because they are righteous
~ restless under grave wrongs they
will bring TO pass the things that they
demand

DAILY SHORT STORY
A GAME OF DIAMONDS.


Copyright 1906. b. c. B. Lewis.l
Mr. John F. Saunders. just from Eng
land and a very ingratiating sort Of
man. had patronized a Maiden lane
jewelry house to the extent of $1,000 in
cash and had met and dined the lead
ing traveller of the house. whose name
was Taylor
Their acquaintanceship was only
about two weeks old when Mr.. Taylor
started out over his western route, car
ryiug $4,000 worth of diamonds with
him. He reached Chicago TO find the
Englishman there a day ahead of him.
Mr.. Saunders was looking for Il long
lost cousin. and while he looked for the
cousin with one hand he dispensed hos
pitality very literally with the other.
He wined and dined the traveller so
often that they became chummy. He
took Mr.. Taylor into his confidence and
unhosomed himself and asked him to be
a brother to him
Wien the pair had been in Chicago 4
week and the traveller was about ready
20 move to Milwaukee, Mr.. Saunders
announced in d laughing way that he
had turned drummer for a day TO help
his friend out A man who ran a GER
tain factory wanted 10 get his wife
something unique in the way of birth
day present. Mr. Saunders had hap
pcned to meet him and TO suggest his
friend. and if Mr.. Taylor would accom-
pdny him to the house that evening he
would be sure Of Il sale amounting to
at least 81 600. The traveller would be
only too glad to do so, of course. He
couldn't expect rich man and busy
man To come 70 his hotel 10 look at
samples.
II was about o'clock of an autumn
evening when the pair set forth from
the hotel in Il carriage. y light rain
was, falling. and this was an excuse
for putting up the windows. Taylor
was fairly well acquainted with Chi
cago, but in that drive, which lasted
an hour he was all turned around.
When the vehicle finally stopped he
only saw that the house, which stood
alone, had respectable exterior, and
he followed Saunders up the steps and
was admitted. They were greeted by
the wealthy manufacturer himself,
