This early will no doubt de tract, in a measure, from the popularity of the Easter bonnet and pretty white dresses, in the northern part of the state, as the season will not be advanced enough to warrant the wearing of summer head gear, RUSSIA’'S LUST FOR LAND. The Russian has an insatiable thirst for land, He has absorbed Poland, Finland, part of Turkey and wide stretches of Asia. Manchuria is his present meal, but he is casting greedy eyes upon Korea, Per. sia, Afghanistan, Turkey. India and what remains of dismembered and helpless China, and unless his advance is checked now by the legions of Japan, or later by some other power or powers, his progress southward will end only at the Mediter rancan, the Rad sea and the Indian ocean, The means - by which this land was taken have varied. Sometimes by war, sometimes by diplomacy, sometimes by settlement, he has reached his ends. He did not hesitate at butchery if butchery were necessary. He cheerfully lied if ly ing would forward his purpose. He fo mented internal discords in the coveted ‘ kingdom if he thus could come in under the guise of peacemaker and take the country for his own. If it were necessary to reach his goal ‘y indirection, then the indirect route was followcd; if he was compelled to seize his prey when the other powers were not looking, such sei zure was made, if he had to wait a cen tury before achieving his object, he wait ed patieutly and stolidly. Beaten back at one point, he reached out at others, but always aud everywhere he kept one thing in view—to get the land. e AL D @B e ANNOUNCEMENTS. ;”.N'u"ll‘ol'\-"\-"\c"u"n‘\-l'\-t'l."\.!‘u"u"mwvwf For Representative.
