POPULATION IN RUSSIA.

lhe Depredations Which Have Honey
combed Every Branch of the Public
Service.
The exploits of the Russian commits
sariat are we'll known, ever abroad.
In all this there is nothing very new.
That VIII oh most concerns us is to
trace the relationship existing between
the general system and the primary
causes of the depredations which,
whenever q al takes place, rccur as
inevitably as if they were operations
of nature, and with all the regularity
of the seasons. 1t is all very we'll to
inve;gh against Gorvitz, Varshavsky,
Prince Uroosoff and their 225 accom-
plices. But are they the only culpa-
bles? Why do such iniquities as theirs
never occur n other armies? If con-
tractors, in their greed OF gain. de-
liver rations and stores of bad quality,
why are they accepted as good? This
is evidently the crux of the question.
According to the prescriptions of the
military code all articles of food and
medicine deliveredby a contractor have
to be examined bya surgeon or a medi-
cal commiss on and the commandment
the corps for which they are dest ned
or nominees acting under his orders.
Hence, without the connivance of all
these people fraud would be impossible.
If the contractors cheat, the brave com
mandant and the erudite doctors must
do likewise from high to low. Not a
man who went through the Bulgarian
campaign would deny that this was
precisely the case. On the other hand,
there are always to be found in our Of
fetal spheres, corrupt though they be,
some IN m who, unta;nted with dishon-
esty, are eager to redress the wrongs
which they see around them-such, for
instance, as General Tcherkassof, a
military inspector. At the beginning
of the campaign this officer presented
to the commander-:n-chicf a volum n
Gus work, in the shape of a report, in
which he had collected and set forth
and proved by a mass of facts. recent
and palpable. the fragrant malversa-
tons and frauds of the Gorvitz Com
pany and consorts.
This report, though an historical
document of high value, has not vet
seer the light. It was stitled by secret
~confederates of the implicated parties.
These confeaerates were of all ranks,
says the correspondent of the Novoe
Nremya in his covert language. Some
interrupted the reading of the report
by ocular remarks VIII oh distracted at
tent on. others protested against it as
ill-timed, and, encountered everywhere
with either opposition or indifference,
it remained in the shade. and while the
war lasted the company continued Their
depredations without let or h%indrance.
The gentlemen of the commi%sariat
were thus not the only ones who had
the. I fingers in the pie. War is an FL
dorado Tor all who keep to the wall

Any man who goes into the employ

hands are liable to lose all but a selfish

unwillIngness on the part of the en-
plove to perform sufficient labor, but a
lack of carefulncss and perfect trust,
Some hired men are too sensitive and
appear unwilling to be instructed in
the performance OF any job, others are
wiling to do any way suggested, right
or wrong, and to execute it in the
quickest possible manner, regardless of

pleasant and Improbable to the part es
concerned. A hired mar should be-
