Russia and Her Empress.

Newark Advertiser.
Russia is weak in her press. Gov
eminent in Russia has always treated
the newspapers as an enemy to be
watched and seriously dealt with. In
the entire Russian Empire five years
ago there were only SO daily papers,
of which 90 were printed in st. Peters
burg and Moscow, right under the
eyes Of the bureaucracy. In no less
than az governmental departments no
newspapers were printed, and only
the smallest fraction of the popula-
ton ever saw newspaper of any
kind.
Those newspapers that were allow
ed to exist were closely censored in
their news as well as editorial utter
ances. The editor who transgressed
was punished, and the newspaper that
offended the government was suspend
ed or suppressed. Can 1t be wondered
at, therefore, that there has been
such lack OF public sentiment in
Russia? The present Gear included
among the concessions rung from him
a certain liberty for the press, and the
liberty has been well taken advan-
tage OF. New publications have been
issued, and the tone Of the Russian
press generally runs to a license that
was undreamed of five years ago.
A pamphlet written by the Able
sfeyes had powerful influence in
events. "The Tiers Etat," he wrote,
as the French nation minus the mob
less and clergy" 1t was upon such
maxims, put forth by trenchant pens
in the press, that the French reyolu-
5tion was fed. Russia has not yet de-
veloped either great journalist or.
a great leader. But 1t may also be-
said that the time is not yet ripe for
the masterful men to appear to make
the Russian press the terrible engine
It was in France. and to guide the
Tiers Etat OF Russia through the Or
deal that Russia is facing.

The trouble may be that the cen.

EAST ST. Louis, Sept, =, 1906.
Mr.. 5. NJ. jenkins, Marion, Ky
We arrived in East St. Louis on
August l4th and found our daughter
Nina very sick which was caused by
a fall down a stairway in the Grand
Leader in St. Louis on the 9TH Of
July. She has been in a very crti-
cal condition for near five weeks and
at this writing we have hopes that
her condition i better.
have been at work since our ar
rival here at Swift Il Cos. stock
yards. where they have about 200
men and women employed with an
average of $500 per. day wages.
They slaughter daily about 1000
head of hogs and about 1000 head
of cattle. | am sixty-dve years old
but the Swift stock yards is the bus
lest place that | have ever seen aud
every Wednesday when pay day rolls
around we think it no wonder that
we have to pay high prices for meat.
There are long trains of Mexican
and Texas cattle comes in every day
and almost as many trains of meat
shipped out.
There is no part of the hog or COW
that is lost and Notwithstanding the
fact that there are so many animals
slaughtered, there is no offensive odor
around the plant, all the floors, docks
platforms aud via-docks are scrubbed
twice a week. The plant covers TWEEN
ty acres and the Armour plant adjoin-
ing Swifts Is about as large and does
about as good business.
| get the good old Press every
Friday and just such scramO bling as
we have to see who shall read it first,
and Mr.. Editor whilst | think Of it
will you please change the address of
my paper from ll07 North 18th, St,

nue., East St. Louis, Ill.,, and great
ly oblige your friend,

Brother }. W. Cook was born at
Pittsburg, Pa, May 8, 1922 and
died at his residence in Crittenden,
county, Kentucky, August 25, 1906.
Brother Cook professed faith in
Christ when young man and joined
the Methodist Episcopal church at
Pittsburg. He came to Crittenden
county in 1850 and joined the NJ. +.
Church South, at Bells Mines. AT
ter few years he moved his member
ship to Mt. Zion in the Marion, now
Shady Grove circuit. He served as
steward in this church for twenty
years, being released only when the
in6rmities of old age came on and he
could not serve longer. He loved
the church and was a true friend of
the preachers; and he said Mt. Zion
must pay out this year, which she
will do. His home has been the
preachers home for fifty years.
How | do miss him. He had a
great desire to see Mt. Zion build up,
and on Thursday before he died on
Saturday we closed great meeting
at Mt. Zion, and he had the pleasure
to welcome in the church neighbor
for whom he had prayed for forty
wears. He was married four times.
His first wife was Miss Mary Ann
Wheatcroft, the second Miss Nerelda
Clinton, the third Mrs. Sarah Ann
Pickering and the fourth Mrs. Eliza
beth j Leighfeld, all Of whom were
faithful christians and preceded him
to the home of the saints.
On the 18th of August he was
taken suddenly and violently i'll. Or.
NewcOmb was sent for and in twenty
five minutes he was present and in a
short time DIR. Driskel, of Marion,
arrived, but nothing could be done to
give relief and in less than five hours
he died. Thus a good and faithful
brother has passed away. He was
buried in the Mt. Zion cemetery in
the presence of large number of
friends and relatives.
The pains of death are passed,
Labor sorrow cease
And life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Saviours joy.
X. c. Love.

THE REJECTION OF THE
SCHOOL PLANS.

1t is greatly to be regretted
that the CITY Council went about
the construction of The NV
school buildings in sucl "a Wy
as to necessitate turning down
the plans accepted and the EN-
ployment of a new architect Ii
is regrettable for two reasons; De
cause the children are ue, rived
of the use of the building. and De-
cause the public i paying n
terest on $50. 600 without getting
any return, during all the delay
that results.
This necessity could have been
avoided, we believe, had the
Council adopted the plan sug-
gested to select an architect
of whose ability and integrity
thew were fully assured, and
then leave the drawing Of plans
to him That the course pursued
of advertising for plans, should
have resulted in an unsatlstac'
tory manner is not to be wonder
ed at, as it was bound to place the
Council in the embarrassing pO-
sition of having to accept the ar
chitect along with his plan or
show cause for not doing so.
1t is self-evident that if the in
terests of the people are to be
protected, no architect can be en-
ployed without a thorough inves-
tigationas to his qualifications and
reliability, and a prompt rejection
of any man against whom there
are charges impeaching his hon
esty or ability. And since this
investigation must be made, II
avoids embarrassment, saves
time and results in every way
more satisfactorily to make the
investigation first instead of last.
Any architect of ability and
honesty can make a satisfactory
plan; and it is to be hoped that
the Council will now make the
selection of an architect their
first care, a course, which. we
are persuaded, will certainly ad'
vance the building of the school
most rapidly and at the same
time eliminate the cause for the
apprehension excited by the ar.
rangements which have just
been terminated, much to the
relief of everybody.
