The Russianizlng of Poland.

THE woes of Poland have long ceased to
occupy the attention Of orators and poets, and
so completely has the country been blotted
from the map of Europe, that, except in a
mildly sentimental way, the present age has
lost all sympathy with the lines of Campbell,
which schocl-beys once were accustomed to
declaim with all the fervor of conviction
"Hope for season bad Q the earth farewell,
And Freedom shrek ed when Kosciusko fell !"
More important matters than the affairs OF
the denatiOnalized Poles occupy the attention
of the Continental newspaper correspondents,
but the meagre reports that occasionally reach
us indicate that their condition is most de-
plorable, and that they are more than ever
entitled to the sympathies and compassion Of
the people Of the United states and the friends
Of liberty everywhere. nnf
The final division of Poland between Russia,
Austria, and Prussia was made in 1895, thus
completing its destruction as nation, and,
with the exception OF the little republic OF
Cracow, created by the Congress of Vienna
after the downfall Of Napoleon, every vestige
of independence has ceased since that time.
The Russians secured the lions share of the
country at the rearrangement OF the division
by the Congress Of Vienna, and although fol
a time Poland was permitted to have sepa
rate government under a Russian vicerOy,
the instructions of 1880 and 1881 served thu

Mr.. MoPHERsoN's response to the charges
brought against him, to which we gave place
yesterday, effectually disposes ofthose charges,
until they are placed in more definite shape.
AS far as the public knows, he has sdmiais-
tered the affairs Of the Clerkship Of the House
in an able and economical manner, and If he
is not re elected to the position on the assem-
bling Of the Forty-6rst Congress, it will be
solely because of his accidental geographical
disqualifcations. A more ridiculous objection
than this last could not well be raised.

the most useful and popular institutions of
the city, is appealing to its stockholders and
the public generally for aid in fitting mp in
proper style the commodious new building it
has purchased in Tenth street, between Mar

the new site, when properly organized, will
enable this institution to largely extend its

Cxsr for pretext to absorb It into the Rus
sian empire and to do away with the sole re-
naming evidences of nationality.
Since that time the process OF Russianising
Poland has been pursued with unrelenting
vigor by Nicholas aud his successor the pre-
sent Cssr. The Poles are q distinct race from
the Russians, and II is not possible that any
exercise of despotio power will ever succeed
in assimilating them. Lately Alexander II
has resorted to more rigorous measures than
ever to accomplish his purpose; the Poles
have been forbidden to speak their language,
their children are obliged to be educated in
Russian schools, and the Polish names Of the
principal villages have been changed to Rus
sian ones. Orders have also been issued for
the adoption of the Russian (old style) calen-
dar, instead of the Gregorian or "new style"
Contributions for every imaginable object
and on every possible pretext are levied upon
the people, already impoverished by long
years of unrelenting tyranny; estates are
sequestered, and persons are compelled to re-
move from one section Of the country to
another at the pleasure OF the Governor. A
ukase some time since deoreed that all landed
proprietors In Lithuania who were suspected
Of having been concerned in the late insur-
reotion should sell their estates and settle
elsewhere. In accordance with this order,
estates were purchased, but the proprietors
were scarcely established in their new homes
when they were again compelled to remove.
Of course, the agents of the Russian Govern
ment can suspect any one, and no evidence
of guilt is required to enable them to carry
on their system of oppression. Bxiles still
continue to be sent to Siberia on the most
frivolous charges brought against them by
their oppressors; and it is not to be won
dered at that revelts should occur even
when the Poles must themselves be con-
vinced Of the utter hopelessness Of any re-
sistance to the tyranny which is crushing
them.
The misfortunes of the people OF Poland are
in great measure due to their internal dis
| sensions and the vicious system of govern
ment in operation previous to the dismember-
ment of the kingdom. 1t is impossible, how
ever, to refuse our admiration to the Poles for
their heroic resistance to overwhelming odds
and our sincere pity for their misfortunes, and
it is a question whether the influence OF the
American Government and people might not
be used with effect to produce some amelis.
ration of their condition.
The Emperor of Austria has succeeded in
pacifying Hungary by recognizing the ma.
tional prejudices OF the people and acceding
to their just demands; and at the present
time not only does the spirit of disconten,
appear to have died out, but the Hungarians
are apparently the most loyal of Francis
Joseph's subjects. Tyranny has accomplished
nothing with the Poles except to reduce them
to beggary, and it is worthy of the consider
alton of the Russian Government whether q
different line of policy would not produce
better results.

THE AMENDMENT proposed by the Senate re-

currence of the House and the ratification Of
