His figure is lean and sinewy. His eye is cold and stern. His features aquiline. His close-crooned hair is aquiline. His close-cropped gray. Ho is a soldier by profession. Plain, unostentatious, severe. Ho fought with distinct ion in tho Russo-Turkish war, although then only a youth in tho twenties. Later in (he Manohurian campaign ho was an inspector of cavalry. In times of peace he has kept in touch with army life as commander of the military district of Petersburg. When ho took hold of the army the raw material was there aplenty, but it needed a strong hand to whip it into shape. His was the hand. Jle caused vodka to bo abolished, with the result (hat when he massed his men (o meet tho Germans thev loll into lino with clear eye and head. His father, also a Grand Duke Nicholas, was (he brother of Czar Alexander Ithe czar who freed tho serfs and then was assassinated by nihilists. Nicholas, the present czar of Russia, is the son of Alex ander 1 1, and thus the two present-day Nicholas's are set ond cousins. Tho weaker Nicholas, the czar, dislikes and is afraid of the grand duke. Nicholas, (ho stronger, dislikes and has no small feeling of eontemnt for tho czar. The following story illustrates their character: Karly In tho war it Ih Hald that th6 czar broached tho Biibject of a ponHlbfo ponco pact with Germany. "Abnurd,""oXsIalmcd tho Krantl duke, "tho country and army would rmo in proioHt. Tlioro would bo a hugo revolution." "Who In thoro who would daro to load It," queried tho czar.

The first thing to bo done is not to nltow this bond Issue to go beforo the people, for although when correctly Informed as to lta'of- fects they will undoubtedly defeat It; yet wo do not want to burden this city with tho cost of nn extra and tiseloss election. Tho second thing to do Is to pro ceed with the collection or tho Inter est anil assessmentH under tho Han croft act. We havo already got nn opinion from one of tho best lawyers In southern Oregon that they can bo collectod and he has pointed out tho stops to bo tnken. And It Is well known that Mr. Neff, the former city attorney and on of tho best posted lawyers upon munlclpnl affairs In this pni1! of tho state has nil along main tained thnt tho assessments could bo collected. .Vlno-tentlc. Would Pay Now the rep will bo made, of eotirno, that joti tan not collect thorn. that you can not get blood from a turnip. Certain! wo can never col- led them If we never try to collect them Hut 1 tU ou that If all those who wo nsscssimnts know thnt wo would go ahead without fall nnd at tempt to collcit from everybody, In the entire 30 years of about $20,- 000. Twenty thousand dollars paid out for other people's pavement and not a square foot on their own acrcago! Now when (hes6 citizens nnd others similarly situated realize fully tho truth of Jhcso facts thoy will, I nm suro pay up their assessments If not nli'eady dono so nnd Insist tliat (heir representatives In tho city council push tho uintter and mnko everybody pay up. Hack the Council Thcso men sliould back tho council to a man In tho collection of thcso assessments" and I feel thnt they will whon they see tho facts as thoy really aro. And I appeal to them to do this. I appeal to tho bankers, to the owners of stores, to all men of property In the Interests of their own pocket books. I appeal to them bocatiRO If they do not do this it will probably result In saddling upon this city and especially upon their property, as un just a method of taxation as ono can woll Imagine. And I appeal nlBo to tho citizens living on nnpaved streets to get behind thnlr councllmcn to a man and back them up In their ef forts to collect these assessments and by so doing prevent tho pnssago of this unfair nnd unjust bonding scheme. And In order that tho credit and good nnmo of our beloved city may bo maintained I appeal to tho patriotism of every citizen, to every lover of his home town to get without delay be hind the council In this matter and Insist on action being tnken at onco to collect those assessments. Mcthis-I of Collecting As to tho method of collecting It scorns to mo thnt It may bo made quite easy If (ho council so desires. Suppose wo hlro a good lawyer to as sist Mr. McCabo and lot It bo known that on n certain dnto, say for In stance October 15 wo will publish a list of citizens who havo not paid the delinquent Interest, nnd that on No vember t our lawyers will begin suit against every citizen for full nmount of delinquent Interest nnd assess ments who has not paid up to that date. Hut If the Interest Is paid up to thnt date no action Is to ho taken, until tho next yearly Interost Is duo and If times aro still hard tho council can again extend to tho party In ques tion tho same privilege. Proceed in City Treasury In this wny tho Interost will to n groat extent bo pnld and what small doflclcncy there may bo can bo mndo up by gonoral tnxatlon until tho pro perty tnken over by tho city can bo Settlement. It Is woll to nolo perhaps In this connection that an Increase In the city's populntl6n nnd n prosperous year or two in tho valley would bring us out ot our trouble. Tho pcoplo would then be nblo to pay up in full nil their paving assessments nnd tho bonds could bo rapidly pnld off. Hut supposo wo find that as the dato for the payment of tho principal of tho bonds nppronches that wo would not have money enough to pay it, tho thing would bo to go to these bankers In Cleveland who ropr6s6nt tho bond holders nnd say to thern: "Through tho past years of awful hard times wo hnvo never missed n payment on tho Interest of your bonds nnd wo now ask that so much of tho bonds ns aro as yet unpaid be extended a few years." Hond House Would Help Thoy would do It of course They would ho glnd to do It, holding our bonds they aro ns much Interested In the credit of this city ns wo ore, and I havo no doubt but that they would bo willing nnd nnxlous to co-operate with us In every way. For tho reasons I havo hero set forth find for n number of others not herein mentioned I shall vote against tho passago of this ordinance. At first I looked upon this bond Issue with coiisldcrnblo favor for it has In It somo nttractlvo foatures, but tho moro I hnvo studied It, nnd It hns given me much concern, tho moro deeply I havo becomo convinced that It was my duty to opposo It. Per haps tho fact that I havo como with couslderblo reluctnnco to this conclu sion will bo it sufflclpnt reason to Impress others with tho fact thnt n very caroful examination of Its fea tures may perhaps cliaugo their pres ent views.
