General to the Specific.

Turning from the general to the specific
and considering the situation IN Poland.
the steady and irresistible movement to-
ward the left has been accompanied by a
revival of interest in the Polish question
which has of late been much discussed IN
the Russian press. Within the last fort :
night the Novost has devoted to this sub
tect somewhat sensational article declar-
ing that 1t was attracting the attention OF
the powers; Prince Eugene Trubetsky has
written In favor of Polish autonomy the
Slovo has discussed the maximum amount
of concessions which Russia might make to
Polish aspirations, summing up in favor of
total separation. and last but not least the
NOvoe Vremya contains article by H
Stolypin protesting against the continuance
of martial law in the kingdom of Poland as
quite unjustified by comparison between
the state of things in this country and that
existing In other parts of the empire where
similar measures have not been found nee
essary. But those best posted say that is
Improbable that any important change in
the situation will take place here In the
near future.

When Accomplished, WhatP

But when it is accomplished, what next?
Not the smallest progress will have been
made toward the solution of the problems
that must be solved before normal condi-
tons can be restored in Russia. National
confidence in the car and the government
will be more remote and unattainabe than
ever. The whole of the classes of land
owners, merchants. manufacturers and
members of the professions, who have
hitherto held aloof from revolutionary agi-
taton in the hope that real constitutional
reform would be given them by the gov
eminent. Will at once be driven into the
revolutionary camp. II is recognized or
all hands that the peasa nts-everywher
suffering terribly and in some provinces
literally starVing-can only be appeaSed by
some substantial concessions to their land
munger: and 1t Is understood that the gov
eminent will take care of this one point.
But so far as can be ascertained of the de-
tails 1t Is seen at once that it Is utterly in
adequate for Its purpose even if it can be
carried out, while an Indispensable preilm-
nary to its execution Is the sum of over an
hundred millions of dollars. And hundreds
of millions OF dollars are not to be had in
Russia for the asking nowadays. Notwith-
standing ingenious manipulation of the fig
ures and wildly optimistic estimates of the
revenue receipts. it is known that there is
a tremendous estimate In the receipts of
the government With the peasants to be
appea sed, something like a million of SOL
ders to be kept in good temper, the whole
ma chinery of administration to be recon
structed. order to be restored in dozen
disaffected provinces, the charges to be
met on an enormous load Of external debt
and the miseries Of famine to be alleviated
in extensive districts the outlook for Count
White and his colleagues is hopeless indeed
The practical question for those who dis
passionately survey the present Russian
situation IS not whether the change will
come-that may be taken for granted The
practical question is how, when and where
hn pltJfi fx-a
years In the future. Or will IT be evolution
Or will 1t be devoIution?

]. N. Manley, who owns the
livery stable property conducted
by Warbis & Allen, will tear
down the building now used as a
livery stable and erect new and
larger stable which will be 5Ox8O
feet, two stories high and will be
modern in every respect. The
capacity of the present building
is inadequate for the business
that the present firm has been
doing and as it would take con-
siderable repairing and remodel
ing to put it to decent condition
Mr.. Manley has decided to re-
build entirely. Work on the new
building will commence next
month. The present livery barn
is one of the old land marks of
this city.

In regard to this subject, Brook
ings is using the market day as a
good boomer for the town.
They have set aside one Satur-
day of each month, as Farmers
Market Day. Here is the pro.
gram of entertainment:

kinds OF machinery, etc., on one OF
the streets; 1900 m. Farmers lunch
served free to all visiting farmers and
families 2:3O p. M, auction contin-
ued until everything Is sold; at the
same hour at the opera house the la
