This makes pauperism impossible; il
also makes the population almost
purely rural. More and more the
peasantry will grow in culture and
general intelligence. The spread OF
education among the noble classes is
rapid and sure. More significant and
praiseworthy still, is the advance in
popular education. Look, to-day, at
Russia's eight universities and $4,000
schools; her ten aud quarter mil
lions Of dollars applied, in 1876, to
education; her officers forced to
teach the common soldiers when in
winter quarters. Look especially at
the 100000 copies of the Scriptures,
translated into seventy-fve or more
dialects, sold and scattered broadcast
through the land last year. What
ever else may be said about the Bible,
it is the great educator of the world,
putting power under all people who
possess it. Judicial systems were
entirely reorganized; all trials be-
came pnblic; all pleading oral; the
majority of the jury gave the YER
dict. Equally rapid has been the
material progress Of the country.
1t is justly said that every nation
gets power by the sword. Its right
to this power is based on what it
does with it. ! think the Russian
would have no difficulty in showing
a just claim to his dominion. He
would say: See St. Petersburg-not
yet IT'S years old, founded in a
swamp-now with its palaces, its
churches crusted with mosaics, its
galleries filled with the treasures of
European art, and set that city against
Constantinople, one Of the oldest
cities in the modern world-set these
two in contrast and Russia has right
to place among the civilized coun-
tries Of the globe.
Russia is in the midst of the de-
velopment of Q new spiritual life.
She has young and hopeful feeling,
genuine prophetic spirit, and it
would not be strange if Russia were
destined, by and by, to be the cham
pion of the most advanced and liberal
ideas.

End of the Cuban War.

All the circumstances seem to lndl,
cate that the Cuban war, which has
now lasted abOnt ten years, has beer
brought to il close by triumph ol
Spanish authority. But it is evidently
d triumph gained rather BY concession
than by the assertion Of superior force
There is LITTLE doubt that the Cuban
patriots could have maintained for
midable instruction for many years
longer had Spain fought them under
thc barbarous and inhuman tactics plr-
sued during several years by VaImasc-
da, encouraged and sustained by the
home government. Then the policy
was massacre, not war, and Spain found
its fighting material under tie nahlc
Of volunteers IN the pcnitcntaries,
and galleys, and chain-gangs; the
beautiful island of Cuba was laid
dcsoatc, and men and boys were
slaughtered by the tens Of thousands
by these bloodthirsty wrctchcs with
commanders scarcely less brutal than
themselves. Had this kind Of warfare
been maintained up to the present
time, we believe that not only would
the lnsnrrcction not have been crushed,
but that some portion Of the civilized
world would have intcrposcd on the
ground Of humanity and the confessed
inability Of Spain TO govern Cuba rs one
Of her provinces.
Whether or not Cuba shall long re-
main in il state Of quiet will depend en-
tirely upon the good faith IF the home

Of Cancellation and fair treatment prom

the past has always been 1T the mercy

III tile middle ages, and the captains

would apply the screws and eXtort the

the island by fur means or foul. This
is the underlying reason the constant
succession Of revults, Instructions and
rcbcllions which In 70 torn and rent the
lovely island ever since the population
was large enough To offer resistance To
