Big receipts in the North west, fine weather

the crop in Russia was worse than the crop

to the crop here by hot winds.
The poor quality of the late arrivals of
corn had buliish effect, and the fact that
the cash market holds up well also was
used to keep the price up In this speouia-

the government, diemiesipg inefficient
officers. but has made contributions
from his private purse, which, in the
opinion of st. Petersb urg; amount to
fifteen or twenty times all the contribu-
tions of all the world outside of Russia.
Such statements as these, coming from
the American minister, who has just re-
turned home, are entitled to far more
credit than the statements of corre-
%spondents representing newspapers hos
tile to Russia.
In this connection the cause of this
calamity may be noticed. If the vast
agricultural territory over which the
famine extends had been in a prosper
Gus condition before the crop failure of
1901 it would have been in a much bet
ter condition to withstand the failure of
the past season. But the crops of the
region have been decreasing for several
years. indicating decreasing fertility
and imperfect tillage. Meantime there
has been no diminution i'm the heavy *
ports. The result was that when the
blight of last season came it found
empty grain bins, and, having no other
occupation but grain-growinR, the peo-
pie had no e to resist general
famine. 1t is said that. in direct and
indirect consequences, the famine will
cost Russia more than $500, 900, 900. 1t
is n blow which, under favorable cir
cumstances. will require agricultural
Russia years to recover from, for. with
the failure of crops. there has been a
consequent loss of farm animals so
necessary to the tilling of the soil and
the maintenance of the people. Under
the most favorable circumstances the
future is dark.

RUSSIA AND THE FAMINE.

1t is unfortunate that the general i'm
pressions which our people have regard
ing the Russian government come from
sources which make them imperfect. 1t
is not an ideal government, but, on the
other hand, it is not nearly so bad as
lecturers have made it appear. 1t has
even been represented that it has been
passive in the presence of the present
national famine. Nothing can be fur
ther from the truth. The famine ex-
tends over q territory thirteen and a
half times as large as the State of Ipdi-
ana, having a population of thirty mill
ions, one-half of which must have per-
ished ere this if some relief had not
been extended. Hon. Charles Emory
Smith, United States minister to Russia,
asserts that the Russian government has
sought to grapple in liberal measure
with this problem. Before March 1 it
had appropriated $40. OOO,O 900. and the di-
rect outlay before June will reach $780,
600, 600. Taxes have been RENTED and
employment on public works has been
given, employing hundreds of thou
sands of men. Vast quantities of grain
have been bought in Caucasus. In
addition, the government has made
large loans to the local communes,
which cannot be considered other than
gifts. The distribution is under the
direction of these local officers, and is
made at the rate of thirty pounds of
grain per capita, which is less than half
the requirement of healthy men. AS a
rule. the proprietary have met the
emergency with liberality. Nor is the
charge that the Emperor is Indifferent
true. since he has not only given vigor-
Gus direction to the relief measures of

AN INTERESTING PROBLEM.

The allotment of land in severalty to
the members of certain more or less civ
ilized Indian tribes and the sale of the
surplus to the United States for white
settlers has brought the Indian and the
white man into relations where the ca
pacity of the former to hold mis- own
with the latter in the same occupation,
with similar laws and mode of life, will
be put to trial. In the reservations
which have been opened to settlement
more recently the residue of the lands
wac sold to the government after the
Indians had each made selections of
farms. 1t is said at the outset that the
Indians were astute enough to select the
best lands, leaving the less desirable to
the white settler. That is certainly an
advantage, but it Is not his only n
The Indian receives an annuity in
money. derived from the interest on the
money received for the lands sold to the
United States. Insome cases the amount
thus received is considerable. In ad-
dition to such advantages the Indian is
not compelled to comply with the re-
Quirements of the homestead act. On
the other hand, the white man or the
negro who enters the neiRhborhood Of
the Indian farmer takes with him some
sort of experience and skill in applying
his labor to his support. Even if he has
no relish for labor his ancestors have
transmitted to him the habit Of labor.

children in England whose ancestors
have been weaver for generations
easily learn to deity handle threads.
where those of parents born 10 other oc-
equations are awkward. This inbred
aptitude or capacity to do things is an
element of civilization. and how impor-
tant an element cannot be known until
the Indian farmer and the white or COL
ored farmer enter the race as Compel
itors, as they have on the reservations
referred to. The Indian is there to stay.
For years, at least, he cannot sell,
and consequently cannot mortgage
his land. The other settler can dispose
of his claim whenever he has one, and
if he can find loan agents ignorant
enough to do as they have done in other
new sections of the West he can mort
gage it for more than it is worth. But
the interesting question presented by
the settling of the red man, who is no
longer a blanket Indian" and no
longer disdains to work side by side
with the white man, is. will he hold his
own in the race and demonstrate that
what the Indian could not do az q saw
age he can do as q civilized mani
