Angry Chinaman Kills Him at Bromhead, Sask. A despatch from Estevan, Sasâ€" katchewan, says: Geo.

Bidler had been drinking during the day, and late in the afiternoon proceeded to the Chinaman‘s, where he threaâ€" tened to clean out the place. Lee Han told him to stand off, and backed toward the rear door to get out of the way of Bidler, who conâ€" tinued to advance, and as the Chinaman could not get out of his way, after warning Bidler he would shoot, he fired the shot, killing Bidâ€" ler instantly.

He points out that since a certain period. great crevasses have been produced On. the continent, and that thus _ Iceland and Greenland were separated . from Seandinavia andsa channel formed beâ€" tween England and the rest of Europe. The tendency to the formation of creâ€" vasses, he adds, still exists, and the day may be foreseen when the sea will penetrate into the Ural regions, and there spread from Lake Aral northwest across the Kirghis Steppes to the mouth of the Obi River and the Arctic, thus making Europe an island.

The Calgary be receiving the a vacation who was 96 Would Rid His Country of the Awâ€" ful Vodka Curse. In the past couple of montls it has become the fashion to extol the virtues of abstinence from strong drink. The Czar himself in his reâ€" script appointing the new Finance Minister, P. L. Bark, said that in bis travels in Russia his eyes ‘had sometimes been distressed by the miserable results of alcoholism among his beloved peasantry, and he desinred his Minister, as controlâ€" ler of the State aloohol monopoly, to champion the cause of _sobrie‘lfy. It is an absolute certainty that the political police never allowed a drunken peasant to be within sight of the Czar, or allowed the Czar to Te eR ie y CR i esn oCA nPa see a home ruined by drink ; but the imperial pronouncement is, all the same, an important step on the road along which Russia is drifting. The coincidence of different tenâ€" dencies coming sharply to a head at the same time has brought the drink problem to the front in Rus sia. For the past twentyâ€"five years. â€"ever since the ~central â€"Governâ€" ment took over the monopoly in the sale of alcoholâ€"vodka has become each year a more and more imporâ€" tant factor in the imperial revenue. This past yearâ€"the last budget of the Kokovtzeff financial regimeâ€" the revenue from vodka reached $500,000,000. The figure scandalized the respectable sense of serious peoâ€" ple. But Kokovtzeff was entirely a laissez faire man. His predecesâ€" sor and enemy, Witte, had made aleohol a Goxernment source of wealth to pay for his ambitious railâ€" road and industrial finance, and Kokovtzeff was quite content ‘t»o use the proceeds to keep up the price of Government securities and to keep the revenue side of the hnAwat ahraact of the vast new °Xxâ€" ;“l;e;ei) the revenue side of the. budget abreast of the vast new °Xâ€" penditure on army and navy. t% Witte‘s Plan Rejected. Into this quarrel between finanâ€" cial experts the decent outside pubâ€" lic broke in with the demand that the drink question be handled, not as a mere matter of immediate reveâ€" NC To fh 1 dR 14 9l 1 n oob tPc ice m m nc t nue, but as the biggest of social and economic troubles in Russia. Witte came some way toward meeting this clamor, and proposed that the reve; nue from alcohol received into the Imperial treasury should 1‘be st‘ead‘ PHa Ee ETE ; 00 CMOEA ied Py C C dn ily reduced by reducing the sale of vodka until $350,000,000 should be the maximum taken in «one yeAr. His proposal was rejected in the Council of Empire by the territorial magnates who own tho distilleries which sell their output to the Govâ€" ernment, but the discussion of the subject led to : the overthrow . of Kokovtzeff. THE CZAR OFâ€"RUSSIA. the question there is the phenomc-{ non that drinking has increased enormously in the last halfâ€"dozen yearsâ€"in the period when there has been a great increase in the circuâ€" lation of money among the peasantâ€" ry. In the breaking up of the communes entailed by the new Land Act, settling up freehold farâ€" mers as the prevailing agricultural type in Russia, peasants who sold out but did not wish the work of building up homesteads for themâ€" selves were paid in cash from the State Peasants‘ Bank, an instituâ€" tion subsidized by the Treasury for the operation of land transfers. Thrifty peasants husbanded their little capital for their new liveliâ€" hood ; most of the others took it to the "monopolka‘‘â€"the Government monopoly drink shop of the disâ€" trict It has been said that some people drink to quench thirst, others to get merry but a Russian to get drunk. Any one who has seen the country drink shops in Russia will be inclined to forgive him.

No glasses, no carafes of drinking water, are in the place, no doubt because the customers would take them away, and the es tablishments are Government proâ€" perty, and the Treasury, as owner of the vodka monopoly, would have to make good the loss. The bare squalor of the drinking â€" business serves to hasten the drinking Rusâ€" sian‘s longing for a "change of mood."" A few swigs at the neck of his vodka bottle and he is in anâ€" other world as surely as any Ohinaâ€" man drugged with opium. There is nothing festive abous; the performâ€" ance.
