THE kURlANOERS,
subjects of Russia Who Are Superior
People.


They are all peasant proprietors,
IheSe kuranders, self respecting.
thrlfty. industrious people. Their blood
Is not German, hat their people have
enjoyed centuries of German civiliza-
ton. They are Slav. and would be as
dirty and siiftless as their llinSpeople
Of Russia had they known no other
government than that of the drunken
elder or the county police In the land
they came from the roads are we'll made
and maintained; every village has a
tidy schoolhouse. The fields are we'll
drained and cultivated; the mobiles live
npon their estates. and exercise an ey-
pellent influence about them in the ad-
mlnlstratlon of justice and the main
tenance of local institutions.
The people belong mostly 70 tbe
Lutheran church. and EVERYWHERE Won
IND weli-educated clergvmen. who do
their duty conscientiouslv. foster lib
eral education. and cultivate their land
thoroughly. The people of these Baltic
provinces have been loyal to the car
throughout the two centuries that they
have belonged to his empire. They
have enjoyed large measure Of local
seIf-government, and il lis this that has
made them so superior TO the rest of
kussl2- Their towns are centers -of
commercial and intellectual activity.
no schools in Russia compare with those
winch the GermanS maintain here. and
the university of Dorpat is far beyond
hnrthing dreamed of by Il Russian. The
people of these provinces were eynsnci-
pated from serfdom nearly a generation
before the Russian edict was promulpat-
ed The cars government has produced
misery and mischief by its measure
the German provinces effected the
change so simply and wisely that il has
resulted in blessings.
The Russian emancipation created \
vast gulf between the noble and meas
ant, which thirty years has only wild
aned. The emancipation along the
Baltic has created an excellent class ~
independent farmers. who regard their
interests as identical with those of
their former landlords. and who take
the ilvelicst interest in protecting their
present system of education and ad
mlnistration against the denoraliziur
