Tho revolutionary movement in KUH ; pia lins resulted in the grouting ol civil liberty to the oppressed subjects of the Czar. The Emperor has ??von hiaiinal approval to a manifesto which ?will forever end the mle of absolutism exercised by him and hie Kouianotl'an cestors for WO years. Count Witto comes into power as minister-president with nn imperial mandate which will ennbJe him to convert tho iarcial national assembly into a real legis lative body, elected by greatly extend ed eu lira go, and to confer upon tho peoplo fundamental civil liberties, in cluding free speech. Russian a il aim were fast reaching a crisis, and, if tho reforms had not been granted, revo lution would have followed with the overthrow of the Government. Hus ein, though defeated and crushed in war, IB stronger today than she haB ever been in her history. The vic tories of peace are often greater than those of war. Witto ie the man of tho hour. He represented his country as peace envoy nt Portsmouth and the world in familiar -with the signal victory be won in the peace negotiations. He cabled the fol lowing message to the American peo ple: .*i am sure the American people, who understand what freedom is, and the American press, which voices the -wishes of the people, will rejoice with the friendly Russian nation ac this mo ment when the Russian peoplo have received from bia imperial roojesty the Sremises and the guarantees of free om, and will rejoice in tho hope that the Russian people will wisely aid in the realization of those Jihonieu by co operating with tho government for their peaceful induction. Only thus -will it be possible to aecure ?ho full benefits ot freedom conferred upon the people." The mayoralty oleotion in New York, whieh takes place in a few days, has been one of ibo most spectacular in the history of tho metropolis. Wil liam R. Hearst, who, with the aid of his millions, vainly sought tho last presidential nomination of the Demo cratic party, is running aa an inde pendent on a municipal ownership plstfornir Mayor MoClellan socks re election, nnd in a cliarnotoriHtio lotter former President Cleveland OD dorsos him and urges the voters of New -?? York "to strive against the tide of demagogic/ misrepresentation" and vhysteria pervading the canvass. ' President Roosevelt gavo nome good T advice to the regro race in his speech j % at Little Rook. The worst enemy of j', the negro, he said, waa the' negro % criminal of the hideous type sp often % hideously avenged. Every reputable % black man owes tho duty to himself and to his raoe to hunt down that 'arirniual the president declared. That ?Jie.good advice, ?'-?t tho Hud tho ? Southern peoplo have been giving the / negro all the timo. Tho trouble is pf that he doos not appreciate it, but to % ibo oriminal gives his sheltering aid and protection. Until he learns tho S truth that tho maintenance of oivili V nation demands the prompt and just ' - punishment of crime, tho negro will ,j . make no progress as a race. Acoordiog tomine* Manufacturer's - Record the hanks of South Carolina ' have more than doubled their doposits , 4n the last ten years, increasing from : 13,065,240 to $28,183,940. These figures indicate that the State has ex porincod a period of unusual prosperity . , and that the increase in values of all .j. kinds has. not been confined to any ;?- one locality Cr to any particular clans }JP ot business. The entire population of ? the State shares in the inorease, and v particularly tho cotton farmera who % have been receiving a fair return for their principal product. Tho value of farming landa has shown a remerkablo U advance, ?nd the agricultural interests ere in better bb apo than they have 1 ever been.

A %? -?iapeoaary J?it?etdr 'john Bell Maryland will vote at tho approach ing olcotionon a constitutional amend ment which practically disfranchises the negro vote. In adopting tho pro posed amendment tho State will bc but following thc example cf most of her sister States in the South. Tho 15th amendment to the Federal con stitution is a wrong and an insult to thc Southern people and would never have bcou adopted by even a radical Republican majority in Con gress except as a measure of political expediency. The principle of basing suffrage on intelligence and character is appreciated everywhere, but fur a generation thc South haB had to suffer from thc disastrous effects of a politi cal blunder which was known to he wrong by itu perpetrators.
