off the yoke.
Shall tho people rule? That is the
question that w.as not settled inthls
campaign because no question is "ever
settled until it is settled right. That
question will, like Banquo's ghost,
arise again and refuse to down. The
people must rule in a republic. If
the people dp not rule thdro is no
republic. The monarchy is already

He was 6dd, quaint and very deter

laughed at his claims. Thereupon he
swallowed twofrgrains of Ftrychnine,
mnnirh to kill :three men, and ate
some charcoal. Tho doctors thought
him " inad,"but he did not even have
to go to bed. The charcoal killed the
effects of the strychnine and Sechey

physicians have used it. Run im

have a pure, delicipp drink.

It is really a wonderful adjunct to

made of pure willow charcoal, sweet

Two or three of them cure an or

the part of her business men, and
short-sightedness and neglect on the
part of tho administration, have hith
erto impeuea the development of her
agriculture. Tho soil Is merely
scratched by light wooden plows, tho
most primitive form of agrlculturo
prevails, manuring is practically un
known to nine-tenths of her peasants
and there are hardly any roads for
transporting agricultural produco to
the rivers and railways. Though
Russia has much coal and iron, her
industries are quite undeveloped.
Her industrial backwardness may bo
gauged from the fact that with a
territory and a population twice as
largo as those of the United States,
Russia produces only one-tenth of
the quantity of iron produced In tho
United States, and that pho raises
only one-twentieth of the quantity of
coal raised in the American republic
In other words, America raises per
head of population twenty times
more iron and forty times more coal
than Russia. "Agriculturally and in
dustrially Russia is a . mediaeval
country.
Many Russians in high official pos
ition assert that the latent wealth of
Russia Is greater than that of the
Unitod ..States, and if they are right
the first tnsk. of the Russian govern
ment should be to develop Russia's
potential wealth. Wishing to rer
serve the whole of ..the. national
wealth, to her own. people, RuBsia;
has. so far Dn the whole discouraged
and stifled foreign enterprise, though,
M. do Witte tried to introduce .for
eign capital. Russia has as yet
neither enough capital nor enough
experience to open up the country
rapidly. Therefore she tvUI bo wise
ff she calls foreign experience and
foreign capital to. her assistance. If
Russia throws the country wide open
to foreign enterprise and to foreign
capital, and if she treats liberally and
even generously those who, wishing,
to help themselves, will most vigor
ously promote Russia's prosperity,
the poverty and dissatisfaction of the
masses and tho penury of the Rus
sian exchequer will soon come to an
end. Nineteenth Century.
SUITED BOTH CLAIMANTS
A Nevada man having extensive
mining claimsin the Goldfield region
tells of a lucky 'strike that was made
last year near Carson City, a strike
that proved to be of such promise
that a goodly sized camp immediate
ly sprang up around it.
The two - principal mine owners
were, respectively, an 'Irishman and
a .Tew, and as a compliment to these
leading citizens the camp, decided to
leave to them the bestowal of a suit
able name upon the new community.
There followed many conferences
between the two, none of which re
sulted in an agreement. The Irish
man stood out for a name that should
suggest his native islp, while the
Jew was just as insistent, -on his
part, for a name that should he sug
gestive of the chosen people. This
deadlock continued so Ipng that the
rest of the camp grew restless,, and
.finally Insisted that there should bq
a compromise,, So the new camp was
called "Tipp.enisalem," Lippln-

Dr. Fitzslmraons received a Iptter
a few days ago,. from a democratic
friend in New York, written since

votes were. in. He says: "A firm
