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.?
