GRO\V FROM BAD TO WORSE.
Things have been growing frottn fad
to wore. ever since the year 1893, when
Alexander 111., the "hero czar," as re-
actionaries call bim, was on the throne.
He and hie mini/S.a.e.s saw that the con-
tents of the treasury were dwindling
dcwn In an alarming manner. Oppro i.
awn, war, and mismanagement had se-
duced his empire, so rich in resources,
to a state vdying on bankruptcy. Ire
ep;pealed to his minister of finances,
Count Witte, for some way c ut of the
difficulty.
Witte has not gained his high posi-
tion for nothing. He Ls one of the clev-
erest ken. ants the czars. father and
son, have ever had. Ills answer was
soon ready.
`The amount of drunkenness in the
empire Is appalling," he said. "Every-
tody who keeps a kubak (grc:g shop),
adulterates the vodka,and by making
