Free Talk About the Government.
have been surprised, in fact, to find out
how freely people talk in Russia about the
Government, They discuss the Czar and
the officials openly, and it seems to me that
they are quite as free in this respect as we
are in the United States. find less red
tape about the offices here in st. Petersburg
than 1 have found in any of the other capt.
tails of Europe, and though Nihilists and
Socialists are undoubtedly watched care
fully, the people do not seem to be afraid Of
the police as much as Is supposed, and they
have their good points as well as their bad
ones
have paid some attention to the prisons
of European Russia I find some Of them
very much overcrowded and the prisons of
the empire need a general reformation.
About those of Siberia know nothing.
They are probably as bad as Mr.. Kennan
pictures them. One of the finest peniten-
tiaries in the world is here at St. Peters
burg Each cell in it has cost about $500
and the cells are fitted up with Bibles and
educational works and with materials for
industrial work. The prisoners are well
fed for Russia. We shave the whole head,
but the Russian convict has only one-half
of his head shaved and the remainder is
left to grow long. They are fully as clean
as our prisoners, and the Russian prisoner
is given a bath as good as Turkish bath
every week. The profits of contract labor
in the prisons of Russia amount to only
$50, 900 year. or just one-twentieth Of the
81, 600, 900 year which it costs the country
for its prisons.
