and anarchists-the Gorkys-are not in control. The constitutional demo- crats control the douma, and they de- liberately ask for government as free as England's is today-in some re- speets, freer, for they ask for land re- forms that the farmers of England do not possess and are not likely to se- cure. They ask, too, for the abolish ing of their House of Lords. They ask for the abolition of the death penalty.
 It is a remarkable document alike in substance and in form. It shows how Russia can be regenerated and made strong, and it bases all upon that great need. They believe in Russia. but they want Russia that affords the greatest good to the greatest number.
 The reply to the Emperor's address will stand as the permanent demand of the Russian people, and the douma will now proceed to secure as much as it can of it's demands. On it's tact, moderation and political skill much depends, but as it is an intellectual overmatch for all the grand-duke crowd it is not to be doubted that it will be largely successful. and that 1t will lay a foundation for other liberties in the future. The reyolutionists of Russia have certainly builded wisely and well.

Import Flow Ot Gold.
change nothing.

Since April 12 the engagements of gold for shipment to this country foot up $4S,37O,O00, of which amount $S2,- 521 .46S has actually been received, There was a slight import movement in March, and if the two be added to- gether we see that the total engage ments have been $51, ,37S,000 of which Sa5. .h29. .46S has been received.
 But thus far New York has not gained gold from Europe, for it has received all told from London, Paris and Berlin sS5, ,529,46S, and has shipped to San Francisco since April IS, that day of earthouake and fire, $95,S55,700. The balance that New York will hereafter retain will be, however, about $15,- O00,00O.
 An advance In money rates In Paris has put an end to further gold engage ments for America, but no more gold is needed here at present. lhe DdnhS in New York have been strengthened by the import movement and by stock linuidation, and pretty soon gold will begin to flow back to New York from San Francisco, for all are convinced that the disaster in the latter city has been fully felt and discounted.
 The business situation is one of strength and confidence, and the bound less prosperity goes on unchecked. All industrial plants are crowded with or ders, and the railroads are offered all the products they can move. The country as a whole is happy and busy.

 While laborer in my line of business is necessarily subjected to many indignl- ties by the press, I always enjoy the squlbs at my expense so long as they are original.

Capturinq Conventions,

"For many years Atlanta lead all the southern cities in the matter of securing large conventions, but Richmond is now a successful competitor in that line,' said John r. Hastings, a Baltimore travelling man.
 Atlanta is we'll fixed for entertaining large bodies and so in Rishmond. The first essential is extensive hotel accommoda- tions and the second is public spirited hospitality that means ample funds for decoration and entertainment generally.
 There is no discount on Atlanta's lib- erality when it comes to raising money. Richmond is a much richer city than At lanta and always put up money generous ly on big occasions; but it was only re- gently that the business men of the vir. gina capital began to jump for every convention in sight. And it is getting most of them.

NECROMANCY A little liquor Now and then Will open up the Closest men.

Roller skates" said a man who delves into books, were invented by James L. Plimpton of New York in 1869 The roller craze which has seized the country is largely due to the fact that ice skating, a much more healthful and invigorating phase of the sport is restricted to cer- tain parts of the United States and can only be enjoyed during the winter. I dare say that women and frail girls whom you see racing around the rinks every night are not aware of the fact that the fatigue caused by roller skates is quadruple that due to ice skating''

Ashland Bank Officials Indicted.

J. Scott Ellis President aud
Ellis Kennedy, Cashierof the de-
funct Security Savings Bank of
Ashland were last week indicted
by the Grand Jury, for receiving
deposits when they knew that
the bank was insolvent.
When the Security Savings
Bank closed it's doors, it's assets
were claimed TO be s280,0O0, and
the liabilities $148,OOO. Whether
this was correct estimate of
the amount Of the assets or not
may be inferred from the fact,
that the depositors will ultimate
ly get only about fifty cents on
the dollars. Evidently the value
of the assets has shrunk won
derfully, or the receivers have
piled up large amount Of ex-
penses. Receiver Ellis Kennedy
who was first appointed, collect
ed in about $50, 900, and Paulson
and Schlecht have collected, in
Guiding the sale of the Ellis and
Security bank buildings, about
S45, 900. This would leave only
about s46,0OO to collect yet, to
pay the depositors, if the origin
al estimate Of liabilities was cor
rect and if there had not been
considerable expense in connec-
ton with the receivership. AT
ter the bank closed it's doors,
