QUIET REIGNS IN
RUSSIA'SCAPITAL.
Bitter Cold Aids Govern
ment to Maintain Order.
ACTIVITIES IN MANCHURIA RESUMED.
Hussiuns Take Uio Offensive and Break
Through the Japanese Lines?They
tiro ltopulscd and Driven Back
Since the big riot in St. Petersburg
ten day? ago the Russians seem to have
the situation at home pretty well in
ha' 1. However strikes und uprisings
continue in the provinces. The bitter
coal has matoraliy aided the C/.ir's
soldiers in keeplug the populace in
their homes, and whilo the outward ?p
pearunces indicate that the backbouo
of the revolution is comp'etely broken,
it is not at all certain that It will not
gather new force particularly if the
Japanese continue suoces-ful in Man-,
ohuria.
In Manchuria, since the taking of
Port Arthur, the Russian and Japanese
forces around Mukden have resumed
activities. Kuropatkiu seemed to take
the offensive and at one place broke
through the Japauoso lines, but the
Russians were driven back, and what
seemed u victory for them was turned
to defeat.
NAUSEATING. BUT TRUE.
Dispensary Corrupt Enough to Die of
Blood Poison.
South Carolina's Legislature is in
session, and has on hand the usual In
vestigation of the management of the
dispensary system. People there have
lived in an atmosphere of scandal ever
Since the dispensary law was enacted,
twelve yeais ago, and it becomes worso
steadily. It always must ba so when a
government undertakes to engage in a
business and to create and maintain a
monopoly. The conditions illustrate,
clearly the wisdom of the traditional!
Democratic position against Govern
ment interference or participation in
business affair?.
The ratnifloations of the dispensary
are many and iu various ca?es myster
ious. The pnrcliuse of the many kinds
of liquors, the manufacture and sale of
the glassswaro med iu the busines?,
the placing of the general and local
deposits in the banks, the appoint
ments to the various positions required
by the system, even the buying of the
corks are all temptations. How many
people yield to them; how many other
Wise go d men havr? been debauched
and corrupted by the in finite chances
for rake-ofTs, rebate?, commissions
and what not, nobody knows and pro
bably ever will know. It teems to bo a
fact that the eor.ee; n carrios a conta
gion through the State and into every
depariment, of business and life.
With ah ti 13, the profits from tho
bminoss do not seem to have helped
tho State materially, for wo learn from
the Governor's message that South
Carolina Is heavily in debt and that
the Lvgi-lature has the habit of mak
ing itS'itlicient tnd inadequate appro
priftt'ons.? Riohmond Times-Ledger.

"Old Jo?" Answer? questions Cor All
Who Will Accept His Philosophy.
Mr. Editor?Will you allow me to
unownr u few nf Mr. Leak's questions?
The landlord who rents for one-fourth
of all the crops will make more and
oan control his labor better. As to
supplies, you can ralie them at home
and will not hare to buy them, if you
will try. As to fertilizers, have pine
litter hauled In, and put your cotton
seed back on the land, and you will not
need muob fertiliser.
As to the negroes, If we white people
will do more work ourselves we will
not need them stall.
The man who raises cotton for a
living Is a poor man, and always will
be. (Suppose you wnnt to borrow $100,
who will you And that has It to lend,
the man who raises a living at homo, or
the man who ralees all cotton?
You will always Und the nil cotton
man in debt and wanting credit from
some merchant. For what purpose?
To get bacon, dour, corn, hay ana ev
erything else that he needs on tho
farm. Well, my friend, will you allow
your croppers to plant 13 acres in cot
ton and 12 acres In corn and pens and
advocato the same to your neighbors?
How long does It l*ke to make and
gather a cot'.on crop? and how long
does it take to make and gather a corn
crop? What Is the difference in the
cost of tho two?
Can we not raise corn at a cost of
j 8 cents per bushel and fodder at 40
' cents pe?* hundred? and will It not cost
us 7 cents per pound to raise cotton?
Well, how can a man say he can make
money by raising cotton? Because he
has not counted the cost of planting
Can we raise hogs? Can we raise beef
cattle and milk cows, cabbage, oollards,
turnips, potatoes? Can we raifo sor
ghum? Can we raise wheat? It so. at
what cost? I think that we can raise
It cheaper than we can raise cottou
Try it! Old Jok.
