C0SSACK PRIVILEGES
ABOLISHED INRUSSIA
Provisional Governments Ac-

abolition OF the traditional privileges
OF the Cossa cks by the provisional Gov
ernment under Premier Kerensky sug-
gests the gravest possibilities OF such
action.
The Cossacks, under the old Russian
regime. had the privileges of holding
land, OF maintaining schools and OF
enjoying certain quality Of commu-
nal freedom in return for military
service. They gave to the Government
body OF cavalry and larger body
Of infantry in return for the special
rights given to their communities.
The entire Cossack region has been
placed upon an equal footing with the
other parts Of Russia in the matter OF
the election Of officials.
Under this new arrangement Hetman
Kaledin. leader OF the Cossacks. becomes
a simple soldier The Cossacks of
Kuban. Terek. Crenburg and other
regions have not as yet been affected.
but the blow that Is struck at one Cos
sack army must be felt by all OF the
twelve armies that recently adhered 10
the Cossack league.
The Cossacks are the only remaining
organized. law abiding. patriotic force
In Russia.
They have not failed In their duty.
Not one OF their force had been num-
bered among the deserters. They had
supported the programme Of reforms
inaugurated by Gen. Kornilofr. They
had not proclaimed autonomy for their
regions and had not demanded con-
cessions.
The provisional Government under
Kerensky will not attempt TO destroy
the self-styled, Ukrainian Council which
continues with freedom to usurp author
ity In the fairest provinces OF Russia
and manifestly under the influence oi
the Austro-German officials.
The Cossacks have not taken advan,
tage Of the weakness OF Russia like the
selfish and disloyal Films. Yet they
have been singled out as the first victims
Of the dictatorial power assumed by
Premier Kerensky.
The campaign against the Cossack,
began openly at the Moscow conference
One Of the speakers. who was permitted
by Premier Kerensky to address the au'
dience In the name OF the Cossacks, en-
deavored to show that considerab bic
portion Of the Cossacks was opposed tC

Bonds pending the appellate court

down to $500 for the others found
guilty.
DaTrow and Atty Peter Sissman
protested that the bonds were exces-
sive, but to no avail
In holding the Schlessinger case
over until May 9 Baldwin said the
proof does not make it clear that
Schlessinger took an active part in
ordering the picketing, though it was
clear, he said, that Schlessinger had
done nothing to stop the picketing.
A $4,000 bond was required of
Schlessinger and $500 of each of the
others whose cases were continued.
Baldwin rendered his decision by
reading it from typewriter copy.
It took more than a hour and half
of fast reading to deliver it.
"This gives. me no pleasure" he
said at the close. my only desire is
to secure obedience to orders Of the
court" "
Repeatedly in his opinion the Judge
tried for the impression that it was
strict regard for law and legal rul-
ings alone that actuated him in this
decision.
Undoubtedly under the laws of
this state strikes are lawful said
Baldwin. For good reason or for
no reason, employees NAV quit work.

months. She went to Washington, d.
o., to live with the Wilmoth family,

Died at his late home, in Washing
ton City, on Friday the Goth inst. =,
William N. WEIGH, formerly Of this
county, aged about, 60 years. His
illness was very short, only aoout ten
days. His remains were inferred on
Tuesday at Mount Olivet ceremony.
Mass of requiem was sad on the day
Of the interment for the repose of his
soul, his remains resting on a
catalfalque in the church during the
service. He leaves widow, son and
a daughter, both grown aud married +,
surviving him. He was the Oldest son
of the late William N. WEIGH, Of this
county, who for number of years was
Post Master in Port Tobacco. Our
acquaintance with the deceased was
long and warm. When this paper
first came into the hands of the pres
ent Management, thirty-fve years ago,
he was its head typo and manager and
he remained with the same without an
intermission for about twenty years,
when he gave up the employment to
remove to Washington City where he
afterward resided with his family until
his death.
During all those years the associa-
ton of the attaches of the paper were
not as employer and employee but as
friends and companions; the worry e
one was the care of the other and in
the idle hour it was "Billyp and
"Adriau" and side by side they moved
along the journey of life without a jar
or ripple to sadden the fragrant years
o. young manhood.
Only few days ago when the writer,
himself, just out Of sick bed called
to see him for an old shake of genuine
friendly hand but not seeing him was
told by his devoted wife that he was
apparently in the best of heal tn and
was out from TIE home he always loved
pursuing his usual avocation as prin-
ter. Little then either thought that
soon his place on earth would become
void and hearts that loved, honored
and respected him would be forced to
sorrow and think of him only as a
pleasant memory. Our sincere sympa-
thy to his family and lily of friend
ship upon his grave.
