viii Keep Him in Congress.

We have fondly imagined our
congressman in the postmaster
generals chair at some not distant
day, but the chances grow wretched-
ly slim We felt that with his val
liant services as chairman of the
democratic congressional campaign
committee two times and his general
knowledge of the postoffice depart
ment service he would be the logi-
cal man for that cabinet portfolio
when, of course, the democrats come
again into power. But, like Ban
quo's ghost, the republican bogy
won't down So we may have to
keep Jim Griggs in congress a few
years longer. Glad to do it, tOo.-

BURYING A TOWN.

A town that never has anything
to do in a public way is on the road
to the cemetery Every citizen who
does nothing for his town is help
ing to dig the grave The man who
curses his town furnishes the coffin.
The man who is so selfish as to have
no time from his business to give
to city affairs is making the shroud.
The man who will not advertise is
driving the hearse.. The man who
is always pulling back from every
public enterprise throws the boquet
von the grave The man who is 50
sstingy as to be always bowling hard
times breaches the funeral and sings
the doxology. Thus the town lies
buried from all sorrow and care.

SPLIT ON rWo QUESTIONS.
Convention of the Ruspian Constitu-
 tutiopal Democratic Party.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 22t-The agrarian problem and the question of the na- tionalization of the lands were the rocks upon which the constitutional demomcratic party was almost shatter- ed at the continuation Of it's sessions yesterday. There was al bitter discus- sion between the socialistic delegates and a large minority of the zemstvoist land owners. A resolution favoring the naturalization of land was adopted, but on the impa ssioned appeal of M. Petrunkeviteh M. Rodicheff and other leaders not to wreck the party, the res olution was nullified.
 The convention decided to stand up- on the resolution of the last zemstvo congress in favor of the appropriation of state, crown and church lands and such other lands as might be found necessary for which the owners would be compensated at a just price,
 M. Rodicheff attacked the socializa- tion of land on tactical grounds. He declared that the peasants everywhere were in favor of private ownership of land and that they would defend their platform by force of arms.
 Other delegates declared that they would fight tooth and nail any party attacking individual property rights or seeking to rob individuals of their es- tates
 At 2 o'clock this morning the conven. tion adjourned without finishing its programme. The session will be re- sumed tomorrow CTuesday)

GERMAN SOCIALISTS QUIET.
Halls Crowded in Berlin--Sympathy for
 Russian RevolutiOnists.

Berlin, Jan. 21--The socialist meet ings held here to-day passed off with complete quiet. The halls, which were filled to overfowing, were closed by the police half an hour before the speaking commenced. Strong resolutions of sympathy with the Russian revolution ists were passed and protests against the present tripartite suffrage system in Prussia were adopted.
 The police had taken extraordinary precautions to prevent breaches of the peace, Extra forces of policemen oc- cupied rooms adjacent to the halls where meetings were held and were in readiness to act on moments notice. They had also prohibited access to the galleries of the halls for the reason that in case of an outbreak it would be diff ficult to dislodge the rioters who would have the advantage of firing on the police from above.
 The speakers urged the crowds to re- tire from the halls in an orderly man. her and to go quietly to their homes This advice was obeyed to the letter, There was no attempt made at street demonstrations.
 Dispatches from all the large towns report that the demonstrations were or derly.

Hold Conference at White House---Nevy
 York Craftsmanship.

Washington, Jan. 21.--President Roosevelt had conference at the White House tonight with former Lieutenant Governor Timothy Ia. Woodruff and the four republican. members of the house of representa- tives from Brooklyn, mainly with ref erence to the consideration of the ap- pointment of successor to Robert Sharkey, the naval officer at the port of New York, whom the president haA declined to reappoint on account of the findings of the civil service commission as to allaged violations of the civil ser- vice law in the administration of Mir. Sharkey. No conclusion was reached. Mir. Woodruff explained that there was no particular hurry in the matter, Der cause of the fact that MT. Sharkey s term does not expire until April.
 There was also some talk of tho chairmanship of the republican state committee in successorship to former Governor Benjamin B. Odell jr., but this was rather general in character. Mr Woodruff later took occasion to say that he was not candidate for the chairmanship.
 The president, he said, did not intend to interfere in the matter of choice of chairman. The president, he said. wanted the republicans to get togeth- CT and select a good and satisfactory man for the position.

Senators and Congressmen Speak,
 Tribute to President Roosevelt in
 Recognition of His Good Offices to
 Cause a Cessation of the UnspeakabIe
 Crimes Against the 0ppressc dand
 Outraged Jews
 Washington, Dec. 21.-A mass meet ing of citizens of Washington was held in Belasco's theater tonight to express sentiments on the atrocities on the Jews in Russia. The theater was crowded.

These in- dorsed the speeches made at the meet ing and denounced these terrible atrocities as great crimes against a common humanity that must be stop ped, and stopped at once and for all time to come, by the Russian govern ment."
 We avail ourselves of this opportu- nity," the resolutions continue, Ito pay our tribute to our chief magistrate and to heartily approve all that Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, has done and is doing, by virtue of his good offices, to cause a cessation of these unspeakable crimes against the oppressed and the outraged Jews and Gentiles in Russia; and we respect fully urge him to continue his kood work and humane efforts for universal peace and the brotherhood of man, and | in his benef1cent endeavors for right and justice and humanity we earnestly and solemnly pledge him the support and approval of every just, humane liberty loving, tolerant and patriotic citizen of our country"

FEAR THROWING OF BOMBS
CHIEF CONCERN OF ST PETERS
 BURG POLICE TO-DAY.

Observance of First Anniversary of
 Historic March of Father Gapon and
 His Followers to be Carried Out
 Quietly-Nohe of the Approximations
 of Year Ago.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-There is all most an entire lack of prognostications of disorder tomorrow, the anniversary of the historic march of Father Gapon and his followers to the winter palace which has now become the most prom inent date in the chronology of the Rus sian revolutionists. There Is general confidence that the day will pass with out serious occurrences in St. Peters, burg and in Moscok, though there may be collisions in the provincial towns. The labor and revolutionary organiza- tions generally have proclaimed against hostilities and even against organized demonstration. The police of St. Pet ersburg chiefly fear attempts at bomb throwing on the part of fanatics, Many of the factories undoubtedly will close and the strike may affect the street railroad service and perhaps the cleo tric lighting plants.
 To-day passed quietly although all the workmen were at liberty, and to- night St. Petersburg is tranquilly sleeping. There is none of the ap- prehensions of year ago. The aspect of the capital is entirely changed. The palace square, which was then gleam- ing with the watch fires of the troops tonight Is entirely deserted and a handful of horsemen are patrolling the Nevsk Prospect and the main thorough fares.
 The troops are in evidence only in the outlying industrial districts, where notices have been posted by the prefect announcing that the most drastic meas ures will be taken to crush disorder in it's inception and warning the public not to gather in crowds.
 At midnight attachments of mounted police took up stations at the Preobra- jensk Smolensk and other cemeteries where are the graves of the slain workmen which the labor and student societies are planning to decorate with wreaths and red ribands.
 A number of theaters were closed this evening. The imperial theater was forced to abandon the performance ot Faust owing to the refusal of Shala- pin, the great baritone, to appear.

FRANCE TO co SLOW.
Will Await Full Report of M, Taigny
 Before Acting

Paris, Jan. H.-It appears to be oer- tain that the French government has resolved to take no action with regard to Venezuela until the full report of M. Taigny, the late charge d'affaires at Caracas, reaches the foreign office, This report is expected to come by way of Washington, where M, Taigny will turn it over to M. Jusserand, the French ambassador.
 The question of demanding an ex- traordinary credit is held in abeyance for the present. According to authori- tative information Premier Rouvier does not see the necessity at the pres ent moment of using forcible means to obtain reparation for the insult to M. Tafgny, and it is probable that he will mainly rely on the exercise of the in- 1uence of thte United States with Pres ident Castro. The desireto see in what direction the Moroccan conference will turn also forms a factor which re- strains France from precipitately bur- dening herself with another difficult question, the solution of which is pos- sible, and which might invilve a deli- cate situation in connection with other powers havng dealing with the Vene- zuelan government.
