nftysfxthst. IS that forgotten deserted old burial
place, Bensonia Cemetery a relic of past age and
striking example OF the barbarism Of civilization
At long intervals during the last few years in
response TO the persistent demands Of the neigh
boring community, our municipal authorities have
examined into the matter. and have taken due pre-
hminary steps to convert it into park and play
ground by placing IL the city maps as such.
With the intention OF cooperating with ad-
ministrative bureaus, I. trustee and technical
owner Of this unused spot Ia sort of unknown land

dren OF the vicinity to take possession OF it for
their juvenile games and sports.
Unforeseen difficulties. however, have arisen to
tnwart the object had in view. The householders
OF the surrounding district not only use the place
as pasture for their cows and horses but also
as q dumping ground for ashes, garbage and to-
WIN not The New-York Tribune, under these dis
eouraeing circumstances, devote a little space OF
us columns TO remind city officials of their
ouues, and to inform them that this neglected
uact, now public nuisance, at comparatively
small expense can be transformed into a beautiful

WHAT He THINKS OF RUSSIA.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir; see great deal Of fuss made about Russia
but question whether the public has the right
conception OF present conditions there. The Rus
sian Government and the Russian people are two
distinct and antagonistic ideas. The former does
not represent the latter it dominates it by brute
force Every man on earth must earn a living or
inherit it, the other alternative is TO beg borrow
steal Every man must get bread; the honorable
way TO get IT is by earning It. The Car. his rela
tiyes and the bureaucrats are UP against the one
proposition-the obtaining OF bread. Under present
conditions they obtain bread and more by
force, and regardless OF all consequences they OBJ
