New York newspapers recently j
gave large space and big heads to j
the successful emptying of a public j
school building on fire of 2,100 j
ehrildren in four minutes.the child
ren being inarched out in good order
without the slightest panic. News
papers are glad to publish good
news when they can get it.
The news of a Chicago yellow ■,
journal congratulated himself the
other days having been able to is- '
sue sj„\ special war editions on thir- j
teen words of cable news, But you |

When a body of men who pay no
t.i\ on realestatc and care less for the
advance ment of the town, can get
together and vote away your money
for useless and extravagant expendi
tures, is it not the beginning of
corruption, the beginning of a pro
gressive confiscation that must ulti
uiately impair all property rights,
deperciate valuation and severely
I cheek all needed investments?
J A. K. Tripp, who is engaged at

| lor the Fnion Tanning company,

ins lv s tp6r land.
The Russian has an insatiable ap
petite* for land. He has absorbed
Poland, Finland.part of Turkey and
wide stretches of Asia. Manchuria
!is his present meal,but he is casting
I greedy eyes upon Korea, Persia,
Afghanistan, Turkey, India. and
what remains of dismembered and
helpless China, and unless his ad
vance is checked now by the legions
of Japan or latter by those of some
other power or powers his progess
southward will end at the Mediter-,
ranean, the Red sea and the Indian j
ocean.
The means by which this land
was taken have varied. Sometimes!
by war, sometimes by diplomacy,
sometimes by settlement, he has
reached his end. He did not hesitate
at butchery if butchery were neces
sary. He cheerfully lied if lying
would foward his purpose. He fo
ment internal discords in the king
dom if he thus could come in under
the guise of peacemaker and take
the country for his own. If it were
necessary to reach his goal by in
direction, then the indirect route
was followed; if he was compelled
to seize his prey when the other
powers were not looking, such seiz
ure was made;if he had to wait a
century before achieving his object
he waited patiently and stolidly,
lieaten back at one point he reach
ed out at others, but always and
everywhere he kept in view one
thing—to get the land.
It suffices that she has gained a
foothold. This she never relinquish
but bides her time, gaining larger
and larger concessions until at last
the captured province is a portion,
of her ever advanced empire. Thus
she spread eastward from M©scow
to the Ural Mountains. Thus she
moved onward into Asia and annex- j
ed Siberia. Thus by struggle after j
struggle she took Finland from i
Sweden. Thus by partition- after
partition she absorbed the larger
portion of Poland. Thus by war
after war she wrested the Caucasus.
and TrailscaucasiiH from Turkey. I
Thus by crowding and fighting she !
coqnuered portions of Turkestan.
Transcaspia' Khiva and Bokhara. :
Thus by diplomacy she graduallyj
tightened her grip upon Manoliuria j
until Japan sprang to arms.
The. evident "mission" of Russia I
is to spread all over the world and
convert everything to the temporal
dominion of the czar and the spirit
ual dominion of the Cireek church.
The declared "missioif'of the Ja
pan is to carry western civilization
to the orient.to lie the leader of the
far east in the march of modern j
progress. In the course of events
these two"missions ? 'collided. The
result was war.
In time of peace the Russians
constantly prepares for war. On a
peace footing the army numbers a
bout 1,000,000 men and each year
870,000 young men reach twenty
one and are liable to military serv
ice. I n time of war the government
has 3,600,000 men,500,000 horses
(5,000 guns. The population of Russ
ia is about 130,000,000.0f whom 4,
000,000 are Jews.and its area is 8,
447,234 square miles,nearly three
times as great as that of the Unit
ed States, Alaska and all of Uncle
Sam's insular possessions. The holy
synod of the Greek church domin
ates all religious affairs and the peo
ple are very devout.
The legislative, judicial and ex< -
cutive powers are all vested in the
emperor who is assisted by a cab-
I inet bf minister by a council of state
by a "ruling senate"and by a holy
synod. The people have little voice
in the government, and there is
deep seated discontent among them.
Revolutionary movements are con
stantly under way and are sternly
repressed. There is no freedom of
speech the press is muzzled constan
i tly and the bureaucratic heirachy
i rules czar and people alike. More
and more money is spent each year
on education, and yet the univers
ities are veritable hotbeds of revolu
tion. Thousands of students and
other educated men are banished
I every year. The revolutionary spir*
is strong in the army, and on nunt
j erous occasions troops have refused
jto fire on rioters when ordered to
|do so. The present war will doubt
ess have somewhat of aYepressivi
effects temporarily upon there'vol it
tionary movement, but only a-great
er measure of personal liberty will
.satisfy the people and them
to cease eudeavoring to change the
empire's ford of government.
The question of service pension
for veterans of the Civil War-was on
March IG, settled by a ruling of Pen
sion Commissioner Eugene !•', Ware.
Its promulgation was <lim?tlyMlu«' to

ruling after April I'i, will make pen

Death of Mrs. Kohcnspargcr.
Mrs. Nancy Kochensparget, who
has been confined to her bed for sev
eral years, and about two months
ago was taken to the home of her
