Work of the Bundists.
Still in a good many localities the
Bundists were wholly successful in coping
with the murderous bands. l have every
reason to believe that massacres were
planned to take place in 200 different parts
of the empire. They did occur in eighty
three. according to my latest advces. 1
give the Bundists credit for frustrating the
government in many quarters. In not a
few of the mscathed localities the au-
thorities did not send Cossacks, that the
Jews might be kept terrorized while the
rioters did their work. The strength of
the Bundsts was underestimate or I'M
suspected and when signs of trouble APP
peared they took matters in hand and
firmly kept their grip as long as necessary.
This was the situation. also, in those places
where the forces of soldiery had mistakenly
been made too small to cope with the we'll
organized and surprisingly large Self-De-
Tense.
Il look for massacres of Jews until the
revolutionary movement has been satiated
in rivers of Jewish blood. or the revolu-
uonlsts gain the upper hand, deposing the
Romanoffs. Every Jew now in Russia knows
in his heart of hearts that his life is not
worth the candle there. and SO all who can
art Cunning 10 tIlS country as IdSL as cir
cumstances will permit This stream OF
immigration will keep up-fresh thousands
will be poured into the already over
crowded east side-just so long as the Rus
sian Jews life and property are not secure
in his native land. 1t is therefore con-
ceivable that in time there will be trans
ferred to this country, in its entirety, the
great Jewish population that is now the
bloody food for the widest of the Russian
revolutionaries, through the grace of the
scheming Romanoffs, frantically anxious to
maintain their hold on the throne of all the
RusSas.

Steel Cars.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Some months ago a welI-known railroad
company experimental with a train of steel
cars to determine their value in cases OF
collision. The test was such as might have
occurred through accident; that is, no spe-
cial conditions We're provided to mitigate
the force of the impact to which the steel
train was subjected. At a speed of about
fifty miles an hour the steel cars We're
result was the euey gence of the steel We
hicle in a comparatively uninjured state. y
collision occurred near Brooklyn the other
day, train of steel cars accidentally
smashing into a wooden freight car. The
latter was demolished. while the steel cars,
though travelling at the time at a high rate
of speed, were in no wise hurt. These two
incidents prove pretty conclusively that the
day of The wooden ear, either for passen-
gers or for freight, is nearing It's end. The
employment OF steel cars on all passenger
trains would not guarantee the travelling

the irnposs1bffity of the steel car splintering

pense may be heavy, but il will pay in the
end through the reduction of damage suits

standards of Drunkenness"
From the Montreal Gazette.

MOutIFdI :
A correspondent of one of the Toronto
newspapers points out that on Christmas
day in Toronto, which has 100 places
licensed to sell liquor. there vert 100 peo-
pie arrested for drunkenness, while In Bur-
ralo. which has over 1900 bar rooms, there
were only thirty-nine arrests. The inten-
ton was to prove that the number OF
licensed places has no effect upon the
emount of drunkenness. 1t cannot be ac-
eepted as conclusive evidence. for the police
standard of what constitutes drunkenness
may differ in the two cities. In Buffalo
the citizen who confines himself to getting
drunk is probably allowed to go as soon as
he Is sober. without a charge being entered
against him, while in Toronto he is tined
There is no poorer standard of estimating
the sobriety of a city's population than by

prairies become golden seas, which rise
and fall under every wind. Each sea
IS composed of grain ready for cutting and
all is ripe at just about the same time.
The farmers now go into their work with
a rush. In many cases the women and
girls join the men and boys in the fields.
Nearly every man has his own harvesting
machinery and the girls often drive the
harvesters to cut the grain. Each harvester
is drawn by three horses, but the husky
wheat-fed American maiden manages such
a team without trouble. At the same time
thousands of hands have been imported
from the United States and eastern Canada.
They have received reduced fares from the
railroads and are sure of work at high
wages from now on until the grain has been
loaded upon the cars which will take II to
tine great lakes
