Most significant of the events of
1905, because it indicates unmistak-
ably the memorable advance of man
kind toward high ideals of liberty,
justice and perfect civilization, is the
political and economic upheaval now
taking place In Russia Wearying
under load OF taxation, rem
dered well-nigh unbearabe by added
burdens imposed by the prosecu-
ton OF disastrous war; the
peasantry and common people started
a revolt against the tyrannical aris-
tocracy, and have been able to force
from their unwilling ruler many con-
cessions tending toward a free citizen
ship. Massacre and rapine, in which
the Jews were the chief sufferers, are
part OF the price paid for the advan-
tage gained. Another impressive proof
OF civilizations advance is the blood
less revolution by which Norway has
dissolved its political connection with
Sweden and seated a king upon its
long unusued throne. The recent ex-
financial circles and last summers la.
Dor troubles in Chicago are only Incl
dents of the constant conflict being
waged for the establishment Of JUS
tce and fair treatment between man
and man.
The Russo-Japanese war, after
brilliant series of land campaigns,
during which one after another of the
strongholds of the Russians In Man
churia fell into the hands Of their ep-
ponents, ana a decisive battle on the
Sea of Japan, that is said to have been
one Of the greatest naval contests of
all history, has been brought to a
close, and largely, we believe, by
American influence.
The completion of the great Simplon
tunnel was the accomplishment of an
other great engineering feat, and the
Lewis and Clark Exposition in Port
land Ore, presented to the world a
| record of achievement in all lines
Great disasters have been fewer
than usual, though tornadoes in Okla
homa and Kansas destroyed more
than FIVE hundred lives, and earth
quakes, fire and railway wrecks have
done their dread work
The years list OF famous dead CON
tains the names of many men and
women noted in the arts, statecraft,
philanthropy and business.
