THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA.
From the SPECTATOR

Metternich tells us in his autobiography
that tho Gar Alexander I. once asked
Lord Grey if he could advise him how best
to introduce into Russia a political Opp0.
%sition; but his namesake n successor of
our day returns from a victorious war,
which has covered him with no better glo-
ry than grey hairs, and finds himself en-.
comprised at home with a whole legion of
political Oppositions. The Nihilists are
only one, and not the most important, Of
the forces that assail him. Their conspira.
Cies and murders are but the particular
form which q ~many-Sided popular discon-
tent assumes, in the more volatile and i'm
questionable minds of a very volatile and
impressionable race; and they could not
have gone the lengths they have gone, it
they had not felt themselves assured and
sustained by the less demonstratlve diSaf-
lection Of the other and more moderate
sections Of society. Much of that disaffec-
ton has been slowly ripening for years, and
it would not need a very deep breath of
that spirit of political prophecy On which
Sir w. HarcOurt has been so merrily dis
courSing, to be able to foresee that it must
have, before long, issued in a crisis OF NOR
tai conflict with the bureaucratic system.
The bureaucracy themselves, at any rate,
understood the situation so. They knew
that the reforms of the present reign would
inevitably develope in the people a taste
for freedom, which could only be satisfied
by further concessions, and they, therefore,
set themselves, for the sake of protecting
their own power, to render those reforms
as null and void as possible, by imposing
a constant administrative brake upon their
practical operations. The effect of this has
only been to ~exasperate the people with
a show of liberty, which crumbles into
~nothingness in their grasp, and KOschelef
declares that the condition of things in
Russia is positively worse since the reforms
hal it was before them. Freedom is given
with one hand and taken back again with
the other; if a promise is kept to the ear,
it is broken to the hope. A public judicial
system, with trial by jury, is granted, but
it is regarded by the bureaucracy as a
piece of 'optionap or ''permissivep legis-
lation, such as our Tories delight in and
if it is inconvenient to the authorities to
bring any person up before an open court,
the police can condemn him "administra-
tively", without any trial at all. The Press
is free to do good only; it must be "weu
intentioned," and the quality of it's inten-
tons is judged Of by an official censorship,
jealous and narrow spirited in the extreme.

minimum in comparison with what
it would have been if a good system
Of cultivation and a thorough scien-
ifc method of manufacturing the
sugar had been followed. While
Louisiana, as an average for the three
last named years, has given a return
of 1900 to 1900 pounds of Sugar
to the acre, there are obtained in the
West Indies principally in Cuba and
Porto Rico, but not in St. Croix
and the neighbouring islands) 5000
to 5000 lbs to the acre, and in the
East Indies the produce often runs
up to 1000 lbs. per. ,acre. We have
been informed on good authority that
the produce in the Mauritius has
been INCREASED from 2,500lbs. to
5000 or 7000lbs. per acre Gan increase
from 5O,O00lbs to 100, 0O0lbs. of cane)
But this result has only been attained
by a careful cultivation, and with
good apparatus for the manufacture
of sugar.
PORTER, in his work on the sugar
cane (1843) says concerning Mauri-
thus that the average yield Of sugar
made from canes Introduced from
Java was 1900 lbs. per acre; that in
virgin soil of good description the
produce was over 5000 lbs per acre;
but that this amount fell considerably
in the second year, and when the land
had borne for many years in
succession the produce often fell to
1,100 or 1,200lbs. per acre. lin a
note, H.. says:-The Rainfall in Maui
ritius is given as 1925 Eng inches
Tin St Croix it is As inches). Area
dy in 1858 there had been imported
into Mauritius Is, 707 tons of guano,
the fertilising effects of which are
described as something fabulous.
The guano changes, it is said, the
most barren spots to fruitful fields.
In 1916 the crop was 102, 168, 900 lbs.
of sugar; in 1855 on the same area it
was 228,4S0,00 lbs. and it is steadily
increasing by about 8 millions of
pounds yearly.]
This question of the falling off in
the produce, or the deterioration, as
the planters themselves call it,
properly the spoiling) of the land, is
n of the most important points in
Sugar production. An American
authority writing on this subject,
before the civil war, says, that "from
some or other, which is not
very clear to us, the sugar product
per acre is no longer so great as in
former years. Possibly the cause is
that the same crop has been contin-
uously grown without sufficiently
manuring the land; or perhaps it
may be the practice of using the worst
plants for cuttings Others have sup
posed that the degeneration of
the n arose from continuing
to plant by cuttings from the same
old stock Or variety; and lit was
to get rid of this cause, if the, evil
really lies here, that the Government
of the United States some years since
Gin 1860 had a large quantity of
sugar canes collected in the northern
part Of South America, and distribu-
ted them among the planters.
BouCHERAU, in his annual sugar
, 1880-02-21

r. uAAS O0A 4Ot0
Il, states that a sugar cane, once
planted, remains untouched for three
or four years, and gives two or three
crops; also that it frequently happens
that the old stump is then merely
taken out and the ground again plan
ted with sugar canes.
He says also that unsuitable min
eral manures are used, making the
land apparently fruitful, while in real
ity they only exhaust it, and thus help
to deteriorate the cane, When we
reflect that the sugar cane makes its
w special demands on the land, and
that even under the best circumstances
all land must have rest, and compen-
sation by e of for what
has been taken from it, it becomes
evident enough how necessary it is
by scientific inquiry to determine in
what way the problem of this compen-
%sation, and Herewith the problem of
preventing the degeneration of the
cane, can best be solved.
Another authority, Mr.. MOORE says
on the same subject:-It is a well
known fact hat down to the time of
the war the cultivation of the land in
our Southern States was rough and
primitive. But if the draining, deep
ploughing, manuring and careful Sc
lection of seed plants, by which our
cotton growers have been able to in
crease their produce fourfold, were
extended to the cultivation OF the
sugar cane, then the increase in the
value of the crops would be immense.
Also, our correspondent,SSMr. van
Phul, is SO convinced OF the immense
loss which the present loose system of
agriculture entails, hat he strongly
recommends the establishment, IN
der scientif C management Of a model
plantation. He further says (p. 42)
Given intelligent planters will tell you,
MY father was a successful planter,
he worked his plantat ion in such and
such a manner, with such aplough or
such a hoe, and got good returns
true, the land was richerthen than now,
but I respect his memory, and | shall
do as he did ? | cannot sufficiently
press on the planters that they attach
too much Importance to the hand-hoe,
with which the land can only be bad
ly, and at all events, too extensively
handled. The hoe is only necessary
when the ploughing is bad; when the
earth is well and deeply pulverised
with an improved cultivator, all the
otherwork can be done with suitable
implements.
So far the Report. It concludes by
recommending the Introduction. Of
central factories, and model planta-
tons as means Of improving the cul-
tivation, as well as a whole series Of
institutions in union with these for
the development of the Sugar industry.
Itseems to us that the remarks apply
to St. Croix as much as to Louisiana,
and what can be the salvation of the
n place can be also the salvation of
the other. For further information we
refer the reader to the report itself.
