PLENTY OF TROUBLE IN RUSSIA

The peasants Of Russia have added to the troubles OF

it was promised them the lands the great estates held
by the nobility would be divided among them they could

enough but its worst feature that the German agents
who are very busy used it of getting the sol
diers dissatisfied telling them that if they remained In
the army the peasants would get all the lands and there
would be none left for them This has caused numerous
desertons and stirred up dissenson among those who
remain Of the news allowed to leak through to the out

of senators Upon the early war meas
ure, aroused throughout the country,
fastened his death. He was sensitive
man who loved commendation. The pub
lie condemnation issuing from the
mouth of the president, and the almost
unanimous support which the executive
received from the people, probably
served to further shatter a constitution
already undermined by disease. The
country might better have spared the
senator from Missouri, known as Gum
shoe Bill, than the genial senator from
Oregon. Lane was not a great man in
any sense, but he was independent, and
tried to represent in economics the
views of the average man. His vote
upon most public questions was usual
ly right. There have been many pub
lie men in Oregon endowed with greater
ability than Lane. There have been few
possessed of kindlier heart or greater
desire to aid the masses and to sup
port them in legislation.
