paign of restriction. in suppressing revolu-
tionary newspapers and shipping revolu-
tionists TO Siberia by regiments on the
ground that all enemies of the state should
be prevented from accomplishing their de-
! signs by any measures that may prove eff
fective; that the revolutionary organza-
tons, by melting mutinies in the army and
navy, and disturbances among the peas
ants, by robbery, assassination and other
crimes of violence, have placed them
selves beyond the protection of the consti-
tuition and the October manifesto and are
ordinary criminals; that as long as revo-
lutionary leaders are admitted to the
duma they will destroy the usefulness of
that body. Therefore it is his duty TO keep
them out and secure the election of practi-
cal, honest and patriotic men. He con-
tends that there can be no genuine reforms
so long as the revolutionary element are
allowed free hand in politics. They are
responsible for the industrial and financial
depression in the empire, by disturbing
public tranquility. They desire to destroy
They do not want to build up. They are
men of no character. no property, no inter
est at stake; the enemies of society, an
archists, adventurers, fanatics, without the
slightest comprehension of the science of
government or the meaning of the word

proof that violence was used Among the

the Stuarts during the period of religious
intolerance in England and it was taken
Tor a polytechnic institute, it was formally
understood that as compensation the gov

Anacostia and Vicinity.

1t is now believed the police depart
ment will continue to utilize the premises
at 20 Monroe street, as the headquarters
of the Anacostia precinct instead Of rent
ing another building. The latest develop
ment is stated to be that Max. Simon, who
recently purchased the property at 20
Monroe street, has consented to make the
alterations and improvements to the
building suggested by the police depart
ment, which, 1t is said, disposes of the
matter.
Policeman Joseph L. Farmer has been
spending the past fifteen days on a shoot

are unanimous against the government.

measures to prevent the transformation OF
instruments of progress and peace into in
struments of violence and destruction"
Stolypin Impartial and Unpopular.
He has adopted the same restrictive
measures toward the reactionaries, and is
quite as unpopular with them with the
reyolutionsts. He treats both alike. All
extreme opinions measures offensive
to him. When THE League of Russian
Men" an organization supporting the
autocracy, asked him for 100000 rubles to
pay the expense of carrying on a propa-
ganda in support of the car and the min
istry he refused to give them kopeck,
whereupon they passed a series of resolu-
tons denouncng him a usurper of au-
thority, as a traitor to his sovereign, and
declared that his program of reforms was
reasonable and an infraction of the divine
right of the autocrat. Apparently the car,
to whom these resolutions were addressed,
has taken no notice of them.

RURAL JAILS.

While the wise men are talking so
much about the evils Of the rural dis
tUicts they might take account OF the
jails Of different counties. They viii
nnd that the counties in which the
largesr cities are located have the most
prisoners. many more in proportion to
the population. Jails Of sparsely settled
districts are actually going out Of use.
There have been some extreme freaks
IN that line for many years IN different
parts Of the country There are more
now than ever before. MaSSa ChuSetts
has had such experiences In the Jails
OF rural counties. The Nantucket jail
has a history for having prisoners so
seldom that there are no arrangements
for taking care Of them. But Brown
county. Indiana, makes the latest and
hest showing for the West. One o. It's
inS rum. He had no money to pay and
elected tC so to jail, where he must
stay 25C days to satisfy the law but
nobody kept the Jail A key was sfinally
found and the man unlocked the jail,
selected cell and stayed there, except
his keep. The county would not even
pay for the food. Now he wants wage
allowance for being warden and jan
itor of the jail, and hopes 10 shorten
his stay by that means. The last prev
ious inmate OF the Jail, who was await
ing trial, had the same liberty. but took
more and stayed at his home each Sun
day. Then he was sent to prison for
his stealing and at the end or the sen
teuce the warden gave him s.. he paid
