The riots in Caucasia, the most south ern state of Russia, last week, which resulted in the destruction of the oil re finf ries and other property in and about the city of Baku, to an estimated value of ninety millions, are a puzzle to A m«rir»n« as they were not caused by the war. The reports state that the Armenians and Tartars were fighting, and that the Tartars had been reinforced by the Kurds, another wild tribe, from the borders of Persia; also that it was the Tartars who set fire to the oil properties on account of excessive tax rates. The Armenians occupy an elevated plateau, bounded on the north by the Caucasus mountains and on the south by another range, of which Mt. Ararat is one—a well watered and beautiful country. They are farmers and Chris tians, though their church is connected with neither the Greek nor Roman 1 Catholic churches. _ On the other hand the Tartars and Kurds. who probaby came west with the Mongor Chief, Jenghiz Khan, and his horde of cut-throats in the early part of the 13th century, or about seven hundred years ago. adhere to the Moslem or Mohammedan religion, and it is more than probable that religions ' differences are the source of the trouble. Bat be that as it may it is a sad blow to the Russian oil industry and comes at • time when Russia can ill afford it. Jenghiz Kahn began his career in Mongolia, to the north of Chiua, con quering all the neighboring tribes and also northern China, and then gather ing together a tremendous army or horde of desperadoes, began his wonder ful march westward, which ended at the Dneiper river in Russia, several thousand miles from where he started Their plan was to capture a city, kill the men, take possession of the women and property, stay for a time and then move on, or if the place offered too atubbom a resistance to kill men, wo men and children and then burn it. The civilization of Persia was almost wiped out of existence by- them. Jenghiz was succeeded by his son who penetrated into Poland and Bulgaria, panning the same course as his father, both leaving a path of destruction and misery nnequaled in human annals. Peace or "War Notes. Neither of the governments directly interested has, as yet, ratified the treaty of Portsmouth, though there is no doubt of their doing so as soon as the rioting io Japzn is brought to an end. The disappointment of the Japanese ' ' OTer treaty 86611,8 to b® intense 1 — mass meetings regarding it have been held and protests sent to the govern ment; rioters tore down Marquis Ito's statue, burned some churches and other pwpeity of foreigners, assaulted a party of Americans, and otherwise so misbe haved themselves as to cause martial law to be proclaimed in the Capital. The army, too, is dissatisfied; and as there are two factions or breeds of . people in Japan the affair may affect the government. In Manchuria there has been some skirmishing, bat the generals are ar ranging an armistice. f The Rassian peace envoys sailed from New York for home, Tuesday, but the f... Japanese are yet in this country. POLITICAL. Reciprocity will be the battle cTy of iir the Western Congressmen at the next !• - session. I w One by one the things that J. Edward | Addricks has cherished are falling away from him First, his model dairy farm was attached, and then his yacht; bat he can console himself, as did the good old Baptist lady, who said they had rob bed her of the doctrines of election and eternal damnation, but she would stick to her total depravity as long as Bhe lived. —Boston Transcript. Illinois, following the example of most Southern States, will hereafter nominate her United States Senators by the popular vote at a state primary election. This is the next thing to a di rect election by the people, and is prac tically the same. This system should be adopted generally. A Senator thus nominated not only feels more closely drawn to his state and his people, but he becomes better acquainted with both and is more competent to properly rep resent them. The danger to a Republic is that the professional politicians shall rale and that public interest be sub ordinated to personal ambition and cupidity. This can be prevented only by increasing the power of the people. W. L. DOUGLAS, the #3 shoe man, who is serving his first term as Gov ernor of Massachusetts, is being impor tuned by his friends to become a candi date for re-election, but obstinately shakes his bead. "I am a shoemaker, not a statesman." he insists. THE duties of the County Surveyor ought to be enlarged and his title changed to County Engineer. Instead otmerely running lines, he should have supervision over the construction of county bridges. Many expensive mis takes could thus be avoided that would mach more than offset any reasonable increase in his salary. Work of this character should be in the hands "of a professional engineer. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S phenome nal popularity is not due to the fact that he performs faithfully his Consti tutional obligations as Chief Executive, bat is accounted for by his enormous activity on the outside. It is not his \ daty as President to preach the doc trines of good-citizenship or to bring warring nations into the embrace of friendship, or settle labor disputes. But it is because he does these things that he has become the idol of a great na tion. It is the plus in a man that makes Hm great. V I State Primary Election. Virginia had a state primary election recently by which all candidates, from United States Senator and Governor down to the smallest county office, were nominated on the same day. A number of other states have the same system, and Pennsylvania should have it by all means. It does not suit the profession al politician, because it puts him out of business to a large extent and puts the power where it ought to be, in the hands of the people. But where party loyalty is regarded as a virtue and ma jority rule a cardinal principle of re publican government, the voters should have a free and open hand in the selec tion of their candidates. By this means they are enabled to carry out the idea of "a government of the people, for the people and by the people. It is well-known that nominations, even for representative offices, are made the subject of barter and dicker by State leaders, and that the object is to strengthen the position of the leaders and make them supreme, rather than to secure the best service for the people. With a proper primary election law the voters would have these matters in their own hands, as they should have, and the real fountain of authority would be the ballot-box. By the system of slate-making which prevails in many states the form of popular government is preserved with out its substance. We have a beauro cracy instead of a demcx racy, and many people do not seem to appreciate the difference, although the distinction is as great as that between tyranny and liberty. The people should insist upon having a voice in the selection of all the offici als who are elected to serve them, and there is no other way than by making all nominations by the popular vote - Spirit. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT removed Mr. Palmer, head of the government printing office, from office for disobedi ence of orders. TWO-HUNDRED monkeys, part of a steamer's freight from Japan to this country, got loose and made things live ly for a time. They deviled one China man until he committed suicide by throwing himself overboard. THE great bridge over the gorge of Zambesi river in Africa, just below the Victoria Falls, has been completed, and was opened, Tuesday. It is the highest bridge in the world, the arch being 450 feet above the rushing waters of the srorge, and it is an important link of the Cape to Cairo railroad. THE whole of southern Italy was shaken by a severe earthquake, last Fri day. A number of small towns were destroyed and thousands of people are reported killed and injured. The most disastrous earthquake on record is that that of Nov. 1, 1755, by which 60,000 people of Lisbon and vicinity lost their lives. ON Sunday night a mysterious fire orignated on Japan's most famous battleship—the Mikasa, Togo's flag-ship —while she was laying at anchor in the harbor of Sasebo. The fire spread rapidly, and reached the after maga zine, when an explosion followed that killed and wounded about six hundred men, and sent the ship to the bottom of the harbor. JOHANN HOCH, the "Bluebeard" un der sentence of death at Chicago, may be considered an expert on the marry ing question. He has given out an in terview in which he said that all women not married wish to be. That all wo men wish to marry well, but to be married anyhow. Then he adds what is very probably a much overlooked fact: That the man of brains and phys ical attractions is not the most success ful with women, but the man who is sympathetic and attentive. Hoch has not been a very sincere wocer, but he seems to have caught the vital essentials of success in winning the affections of the ladies. AN act of the last Legislature of New York which is directed against the practice of corrupting purchasing agents whether they be the maid servant whom the grocer gives a bonus in return for her mistress' trade or the agent of a great commercial house whose patronage may mean thousands of dollars a year to the manufacturer who gets it, went into effect last Friday. This law makes it a misdemeader punishable by a fine of |lO to |SOO or by both the fine and a year's imprisonment to give, offer or promise an agent, employe or servant any gift or gratuity whatever without the knowledge and consent of the prin cipal, employer or master of such aisent employe or servant with intent to in fluence his action in relation to his prin cipals, employers or masters' business. The penalty also applies to agents who request or accept gifts or commissions for this purpose. LAWRENCE Brown, an inspector for the Department of the Interior, whote ha sty marriage to Miss Florence Har graves of Colorado Springs, a chorus girl, caused a sensation at the Oklahoma capital, has been dismissed from the service by order of President Roosevelt and a quasi-public notice given that marriages on one day's acquaintance are not looked upon with favor by the Interior Department. When Mr. Brown and his wife reached Muskogee Indian Ter., last Saturday, the former was summoned to the office of Inspector J. George Wright and notified that his resignation had been called for by order of the President. THE Baltimore San contains a report of a couple of naturalization incidents in one of the courts of that city that is instructive and illuminative. Robert Blumberg, a German, was desirous of becoming a citizen of the United States He could not answer the questions of the iudge as to what is the form of the government of this countrj. When asked if he was aware that this is a re public, his reply was: "The only thing that I know is that lam a good Demo crat." The other applicant was an Italian, named Vincent Galli. He went through the quizzing school all right until one of his witnesses was asked if Galli was an anarchist. "He is-sa sura dat," responded the witness. "He is good anarchsta." The Judge dismissed both the Italian and the German, and thus two potential citizens were lost to the Nation. Milliards. Mrs. John Scott is visiting relatives in Cleveland, Ohio.

No more doxologies or special forms of prayer will be used in it: the soda fountain intended to lure women where they could get beer in qniet respectability has been taken away. The air of sacred peace has dis appeared and the saloon is now a saloon without a Bishop. It is just as well. There has never been a reasonable ex cuse to mix gin and beer with exhorta tions to deny the temptings of the flesh, and the fact that the scheme failed to pay dividends shows that the American people prefer to keep their drinking and devotions separate.
