The Triumph of the Liberals in the
Russian Election.

1t is already certain that the attempts
of reactionaries and conservatives to
control the popular branch of the forth
coming Russian Parliament will prove
futile. In the city Of Moscow on Mon
day Of this week the Constitutional
Democrats returned every one of the
100 electors by whom the Deputies to
the national assembly will be chosen.
That is to say, the old capital of Russia
ranges itself by the side of st. Peters,
burg, where a similar victory was gained
last week. OF all the fifty-one provinces
in European Russia the conservatives
have carried only the province of Tula
and the province OF Moscow. which must
be carefully distinguished from the city
of that name. In a word, the widest
hopes of Russian Liberals have been
more than realized so far as success at
the ballot box is concerned. Events
again have worked in favor of Count
WITTE, as they worked last October,
and have justified the request which he
is said 10 have made on Monday, that
the Car would choose once for all be-
tween himself and Mr.. DURNovo, the
reactionary Minister of the Interior. IL
seems scarcely credible that in face of
the lesson taught by the elections the
fCVsaor NICHOLAS H. will venture to
cast in mis- lot with DURNovo, TREPoFF
and ~IGNATIEFF, who are believed to have
been urging him to postpone indefinitely
the meeting Of the Parliament, fixed for
May 10, or else to prorogue it imme-
diately after it assemblies.
There are those who think it unfor-
tunate for the Russian Liberals hat the
st, Petersburg Government should have
succeeded in obtaining a large loan in
advance of the time announced for the
meeting of the Imperial Dums. French,

OUR PHILIPPINE TRADE.

WASHINGTON, April lin all OF the
statistics Of our oversee trade nothing Ia
more evident than the fact that something
ia wrong in our commercial relations with
the Philippine Islands. Inasmuch as 1t is
probable that there will again be an appro-
priation for special trade agents, attention
is called to the desirability Of despatching
one of the most competent Of these gentle
men to Manila and thereabouts to see why
the little brown brother buys 50 much from
other people and 80 little from those who
are responsible for his political, physical
and moral welfare.
The record Of our sales to the Philippine
Islands for the last -four years stanos as
follows:
1909. N,7S4'42l
1903. AIio'za1
lsOo. e''''o''
This Is q most unsatisfactory showing In
total amount and quite discouraging in
relative increase. Meanwhile the mer-
chants Of the islands have been buying In
other markets on the following scale:
100. tEs,loo.ooo
lsOS. Eee.a,So4
1904. E4,9'o''ii
luOOs o. . . wv
II there were any way OF distinguishing
the imports from the United States 1t would
probably be found that a large share Of
those wares Is taken by the Americans
resident in the islands, while the heather
in his blindness is content to feed and clothe
himself from the products of alien markets.
Another striking feature is the fact that
the total volume Of trade does not increase
and multiply as 1t ought. There Is ever a
suspicion Of stagnation about 1t. Our
1000, 900 of ~impeounious people In Porto
Rico bought from us during 1905 alone only
a little less than we sold to the 1900 900
people in the Philippines during the last
four years. The total imports Of Porto
Rico have increased from $14 500. 900, in
1902, to $19, 900, 900, in 1905. But Porto Rico
has free trade with the home market,
Something might be done to put a better
front on the Philippine commercial exhibit
by passing the Payne bill with an amend
ment which would read: @All articles Of
merchandise which are the product Of the
soil or industry Of the Philippine Islands
shall enter the United States free Of duty
1t has been shown beyond a reasonable
doubt that such a course would work no
injury whatever to any American interest.
Aside from any possible moral considera-
tons, this would seem to be good business.
1t ia about time for signs Of a dividend on
our Philippine investment.

There is more catarrh in this sec

last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local dis

with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease

Breeding Stock.

Besides the racers, there is some
of the best sires ever shown here.
Oregon has of late years awakened
TO the profit of raising not only good
horses, but the best horses. No
money has been spared in getting
the purest blooded sires that could
be purchased. and Oregon boasts
some of the highest priced ones ever
imported. There are some magniti-
cent brood mares, and with them
sturdy colts perfect Of build, and full
of promise. The result is visible In
the splendid class of horses which the
Willamette valley now boasts, and
this stock Is being rapidly brought
to perfection.

The Flyers.

There is the best and the largest
number of speed horses ever as.
sembled at Salem. The famous
PAGER "Zolock," with record of
2:04 q, is perhaps the dean of the
lot, but there are some speedy ones
that will make some of the most
closely contested finishes ever seen
on the track. There has been sew
eral additions to the number recently
many coming from California, and a
fine string that has been in the races
at Seattle. The purses are large,
the track in perfect condition and it
it predicted that the track records
will be broken. Somehow there
seems to be left in all humanity a
trait, a racial trait that compels us
all to enjoy good horse race.
There is an excitement, as the per-
feet animals come down the home
stretch, their hearts in the race,
every muscle vibrant with enegry,
the eyes flashing with ambition, and
the big nostrils spread to their
fullest, that justifies the babel Of
sound, the rising to their feet of the
great crowd as the winner sweeps
under the wire. that is not only ex~
cusable, but it is inherent. After all
there seems to be a little sporting
blood, little gambling blood in the
