THE RUSSIANS AND THENOEILITY,
The streets ot St. Petersburg
have run red with blood since
Sunday; one hundred thousand
wording men out of employment
have appealed to their Em peror
to receive their petition for a
liberal form of government.
With their wives and children
these men marched on to the
royal palace on Snnday last and
asked that the Czar might receive
them and listen to their prayers.
But although absolutely assured
of his personal safety the auto
crat refused to present himself,
but instead sent forthhis soldiers,
who fired into the crowds, killing
hundreds of men, women and
children. In Russia the auto
cracy rules absolutely while the
common people have absolutely
no rights, or voice in government.
The great labor troubles in the
capitol have reduced them almost
to starvation, and in this time of
absolute helplessness they ap
pealed to their “Divine Father to
help them. And the “help” they
received was to be massacred.
What crowd of workmen in
America could ever be denied a
peaceable audience with the head
of our government. Any re
spectable delegation that might
be denied an audience with the
President of the United States,
Emperor of Germany, King
of England, would immediately
command the sympathy of
all their countrymen, And in
Russia, where the most absolute
despotism has prevailed for
countless centuries there is a
revolt in consequence of the auto
crat’s position that threatens the
government. And should it
happen that the people would
rise in masses and overthrow the
blue-blooded devils who have
made the name of Russia stench
to the nostrils of the whole civi
lized world, it would be the
greatest stroke for civilization in
the century. Rich and fertile
Russia is at the absolute mercy
of the worst crowd of bandits
that ever held control over any
uation. The people have been
kept so in ignorance and poverty
that they may not be able to
throw off the heavy yoke that has
oppressed them for so many
centuries; and it is too bad that
the government of Russia could
not be transferred to a class of
people who live in America,
where there would be a few
powerful explosions that would
blow the whole aristocratic
paraphenalia into Kingdom Come
in less than a week. Russia is a
country where absolute despot
ism rules, and where there is not
a trace of popular government.
It is a country without a consti
tution, where the horrors of its
extreme -measures have served
as a shock to the civilized world.
The blood that has flowed in St.
Petersburg has been that of
patriots, and the time Is surely
coming—it may be now or it may
be in latter years, when the
people of this country, made so
rich by nature, and so poor by
its rulers, will throw off the de
based form of government that
rules it, and start tow T ards an up
ward course, instead of becoming
worse as each year rolls by.
O . not help but sympathize
with ihe shouts of the mob in
the capitol, when they shouted:
“Down with tyranny; down with
the Czar.”
The news from the legislature
at Madison that Governor LaFol
lette had been given the support
of his party, and received practi-
cally the entire republican vote,
electing him to the United States
senate, was hardly a surprise.
While there were many who
hoped that this would not oe the
result still it has been very plain
for some weeks that Governor
La Follette was the popular
choice of the people for Senator,
and the legislature could hardly
help but elect him. The Times
has not always been a LaFollette
organ and in fact has usually op
posed the Governor, but that was
on account of his policies, and
not that we lacked appreciation
of many of those most excellent
qualities which has made him the
idol of the people of Wisconsin.
Governor La Follette is entitled
to a seat in the highest legisla
tive bod} 7 in the United States,
and The Times is pleased that he
has been selected. He has won
the honor, and The Times con
gratulates the Governor upon his
election.
The jury in the famous New-
Ulm murder case has disagreed,
and Doctor Koch, accused of hav
ing brutally and foully murdered
his competitor in business, Dr.
L. A. Gebliardt, will again have
to face a jury and prove his in
nocence. The jury is reported
to have stood nine for acquittal
to three for conviction. The
case will likely be removed to
St. Paul or Minneapolis, where
tne new trial will be had. The
evidence against Kock was purely
circumstantial and no motive
for so foul a dee a could be
suggested. As in all such cases
there Iras been a widedivergence
of opinion as to the part Dr.
Koch played in the case, many
people who read the testimony
believing he was entirely inno
cent, while others were pro
nounced in their condemnation,
and believe that a halter would
be the only proper treatment for
the accused.
The Barron Shield, one of the
pioneer newspapers of northern
Wisconsin, has been sold to John
J. Englen and W. R, Hotchiss, of
Milwaukee. The paper was
started many years ago by Hon
orable Charles S. Taylor, who
has up to the present retained a
property interest, although for
a number of years Thos. Dovery
has appeared as the publisher.
It is a paper of condiderable
standing and influence in Baron
county.

"Troll, a man was Jv/ougut In with a
crushed leg. The surgeon said it must
come off. Fait by some means or oth
er he cut off the wrong leg.”
‘‘But I don’t call that clever.”
“Wait a bit. The surgeon said it
would be terrible for the poor fellow
to go about with no legs at all, so he
doctored up the crushed leg instead of
cutting that off. too. and now it is as
good as ever. Ail ordinary surgeon
would have left the fellow legless.
Wonderfully skillful, wasn’t It?”
Herr Drnlunans Measnre Time,
Th.e Brahmans’ clocks divide the day
Into sixty hours of twenty-four min
utes each, called ghurccs. Occasionally
a twenty-four minute sand glass is
used, but more commonly a copper
bowl with a very small hole in the bot
tom of it, this bowl being placed on
che surface of the water and gradually
filled. If the hole in the bottom is cor
rectly sized the bowl sinks in twenty*
four minutes. This registers the dura
tion of the ghuree. An attendant there
upon empties the basin and strikes the
hour of the day or night on the gong.
llow Carlyle Talked.
I have heard Carlyle pour forth a
continuous stream of impassioned dec
lamation for more than an hour at a
time, and so keen wore his charac
terizations. so felicitous his arrow
shots of criticism, so rich his satire, so
Intense his patriotic sympathy with
nil that belonged to national life and
character, that no listener could wish
the wonderful utterance to cease.—
“Retrospects.”
