Kussia's VuleJ EIecJloas.

The election of representatives Of the
people to sit in the third douma passed
without extraordinary excitement. and
it seems to be taken for granted that
there was little revolutionary spirit
shown in the campaign. The autocra-
cy virtually nominated the candidates,
and the people had only to ratify the
choice or ignore the elections. The
be acceptable to the government, and
the free will of the people is sup
pressed.
In view of the fact that the car
originally invited the nation to share
with him the burdens and responsible
ties of government, the suppression OF
the popular voice at this early day
looks like treachery. But the truth is
there never was any intention of Civ
ing voice to the discontinued masses
of Russia. Money was needed from
the Golfers of foreign bankers, and
they demanded the sanction Of the
whole Russian people IL the loan. A
parliament was a financial necessity,
and In order to do the work cut out
for it it must be in sympathy with the
cars administration. A packed douma
will stand as legal parliament and
thus the car will be able to satisfy
the money lenders. Doubtless the re-
suit will be a permanent system of
representative government, representa-
tive in form if not in fact. The douma
will be a good school for the develop
ment of political talent which may
some day pilot the nation through a
real revolution.

appearance of being an attempt to

WIRELESS DANGER SIGNAL.
Union Pacific Tests Device for Warn
ing Engineers.

Omaha, Neb.-To be able to
signal the cab of a moving
locomotive has long been considered by
railroad men as the most desirable
achievement in the effort TO prevent
wrecks, and this, it is believed, has
been accomplished by the Union Pa
cific as the result of series of eX-
periments extending over two years.
BY means of wireless telegraphy a
station agent is enabled to signal a
train between stations and notify the
engineer of danger. A neat contriv-
ance is placed in the cab of the loco
motive consisting of signal device
similar to that used in the block sig
nails. a bell and a red light are used
to attract the engineers attention.
The wireless signal may be operated
in connection with the block signal
device and it is so arranged that a train
may be stopped after ii has passed
a station at which it should have been
stopped and thus avert impending
danger.

What They Think of Western Canada

A party of editors from a number of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada. and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw Oh their

Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to

ferrlng TO what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
OF miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as if
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
