 According ,c The Luverne Critic Mir. Conner has stud.ed this railroad uues- tion for years, and started the agita- fion for relief simply for the benefit of the consumers. shippers. farmers, mer- chants an6 mechanics" Why in the world did our dear contemporary leave out manufacturers and editors? Why did he do 1t?

Wasn't it? Apropos, we could tell you pretty story in connection with the number of years Mir.

there existed a nation with such mix ed and incongruous population as is to be found in Russia today. Repre- sentatives of almost every human race now existing on the globe, from the highly civilized to the most ba-barous savage, go to make up the Russian peo- pie. There ia so little of homogeneity among them that nothing but the strong hand of absolute power mas been able to keep them under subjee- ton or to maintain obedience and the sembIance of order. In fact. Russia is largely a conglomeration of disor- dant clements, kept partially obedient by the mailed hand of the most auto cratic of rulers and the most merciless nobility. It Is a country which has been always governed by brute force for nothing else would be effective.
 It is not to be wondered at if such savage elements. believing that liberty is in sight and restraint removed. should be unharmonions and difficult to form into even the semblance of a republican form of government. It is but natural that if they are led to be- Iieve that the Czar is no longer abso- iute, and afipowerful, and that the no- bles can no longer punish at will. they should believe that liberty means li- censc and that they are no longer un- der any form of control. This is one of the greatest obstacles in the way If a representative democracy in Russia, and 1t may require years to overcome it. Meanwhile 1t begins to look very muci, as if Russia will soon be in worse condition than it was before the move ment for constitutional government be- gan.
 And there is something nlse In tfis matter that is not without Interest and significance. We are told in the 'ie- spatches that in taking the 'it between his teeth the Cxar IS depsaong on :te military to uphold him, yet We seq 1t stated as a positive fact that the Rus sian soldiers in many eas ss use Slsnk cartridges when commanded 10 fire n the people. This is significant, beesuse it shows that tho troops are It aeart with the Russian people, and cannot be depended on to shoot them >down when ordered. Therefore. it Is not It all inl- probable that if Nicholas has deter mined to defy sentiment and to main tain the old autocraey he may flna that in the hour of his greatest need his main reliance will fail him, and if the troops refuse to obey orders down goes the government, whatever may be inc final result
