The announcement from 81. Petersburg
that the Car has threatened 10 close all the
higher educational institutions in that city
i'm consequence Of the disturbances which
the students have recently been rails
ing. which have been more or less OF "A polit
zeal character, recalls the fact that the Rus
sian students have always taken very
open. and what BIAS appeared TO De, very
bold and fearless part in the political ayita-
tion which has been going on in Russia for
40 many years. Their sYmpathies have al
ways been on the side of a more liberal local
and national government, and these sympa-
thics have from time TO time been exhibited
with an audacity that has smacked very
strongly OF opposition TO the existence Of
monarchical institutions themselves. Many
have been arrested. tried and executed, or
transported to Siberia 10 work in the mines,
while many have been forced 10 take refuge
In permanent exile TO escape the clutches OF
the police.
Notwithstanding the danger attending
the onering Of the mildest protest against
AhN tAiotth- WIN Ah Ah' Nh00i"h AfhiHNf
the Russian students have always been
found ready to come forward and TO give
expression 10 sentiments which their elders
shared with them, but were too cautious 70
utter In public, or even in private. No
doubt their comparative youth has exempt
ed them from some OF that harsh treatment
which has been visited 30 unfortunately
upon their parents Of either sex, who have
taken n stand against the measures Of the
government. But whether this is the case
ar not, the boldness and generosity Of youth. |
ready at any moment to make even an ox-
IRENE sacrifice in the cause Of truth and
justice, have been sufficient in themselves 70
impel these Russian students TO offer open
protests with reference TO many public
measures Of vital importance, and thus ex-
pose themselves 20 the imminent peril Of

II has been often observed, and as often
commented on, that when the leading ke-
publicans Of the North visit the South, and
are called upon, on special occasions TO
address Southern audiences, they generally
exrress themselves with a liberality Of
opinion and generosity Of sentiment That
are quite frequently most surprising when
compared with their previous utterances 10
Northern assemblies.
senator shermans famous speech IN
Nashville some years ago is one Instance
an point. That speech attracted very wlde
attention on account Of the fair ana I'M
martial attitude which the speaker assumed
towards the South, in the general tenor Of
his remarks, which appeared all the more
striking i'm the light OF the fact that the
Senator had always been a bigotcd enemy
Of the Southern people. Senator sherman
mas not delivered speech on any subse-
ouent occasion. whether in political cam
paiens or in the Senate, having any refer
euce 10 Southern affairs, in which he has
not. in very large measure, contradicted'
either directly or by inference every liberal
sentiment expressed in his Nashville adj
dress.
4 still more remarkable instance was
that Of the president Of the Republican Ma
tional League. which recently convened IN
the same city. His reply to the address Of
welcome delivered by the Governor of Ten
uessee. was so generous, so liberal, and so
truly patriotic in It's unsectional spirit that
il was difficult TO realize that he was the
mouthpiece of an organization which had
done 80 much TO keep sectional animosities
alive.
Chauucey NJ. Depew is the latest instance
ola man prominently associated with thos"
who are disposed to disparage the south,
speaking on Southern soil with that pairi-
otto breath Of sentiment that large apprc-
citation Of all that is best in Southern ci'ili-
cation. which appeals so directly TO the South
ern heart. ON Wednesday he delivered am
address at Chattanooga, Tenn, at public
reception which had been extended TO him,
which reflected the highest honor upon his
candOr, his Judgment, and his patriotism.
Alter expressing his warm regret that he
had never before made an extensive tour
through the South, he declared that after
his most careful observation during his re-
cent trip. he had reached the conclusion
that sin all the elements constituting good
citizenship, honest patriotism, and ntelli-
gence." there was no difference between the
Northern and Southern people.
The Southern people have always been
fully aware that this was the case, but they
recognize 1t as a step forward in that CON-
plete reconciliation between the sections
which they so much desire that such a sem
timent should be uttered on a public occa
sion by a man Of such high political stand
ing and such wide personal influence at the
North as Chauucey NJ. Depew Every
speech resembling the one recently deliver
ed by him at Chattanooga must have an APP
preciable effect in Fastening that day when
the last trace of sectional feeling will have
been obliteratcd, and all the divisions Of the
union will in their general sentiment have
been practically blended into one.
