Poverty of Russian Peasants.

st. Petersburg, Nov. l2.-rhe result
of the inquiry instituted by the car In
to the cause Of the increasing poverty
OF the peasantry has been published. 1t
is highly important document, and Is
a supplement to the cars manifesto on
civil and religious rights, and recon-
mends the education of the peasants.
The commission appointed to carry
out the inquiry was thoroughly repre-
sentative, containing village elders ana
landed proprietors as well as govern
ment officials, They attribute the de-
cline In peasant prosperity TO oppres-
siye passport regulations labor restrio-
lions and lack of education. The first
mentioned they say. Is due as much TO
vexatlous officials as to bad laws,
which, combine to demoralize the
peasantry and destroy all their feelings
OF self. reliance and their initiative
They further declare that until the
peasant obtains recognition as an midi
vidual It Is useless TO try 10 foster his
material welfare or palliate the decline
in Russian agriculture.
The report further expresses the hope
that the reform In the peasant land
laws now being drawn up by the minis
try of the interior will carry into effect
the principle of the equality Of all be-
fore the law, as indicated In the i'm
peria ukase, and concludes:
These reforms will be fruitful only
on condition that they allow the better
education of our peasants"

folio he resigned in November, 1877, in
consequence of differences with De-
pretis, which made it impossible for
him to sign, as Minister of Public
Works, the railway convention ar
ranged by the latter. He was appoint
ed to the Home Office in the Carroll
Ministry in March, 1873, and went into
the opposition on its fall. He was Min
lister Of Justice and Cults under the va
rious Crispi Ministers, and the new
Italian Penal Code, which came into
force on January l, 1890, was chiefly
due to him.
In 1894, on the fall of the Giolitti Min
istry, he tried TO form Cabinet, but
had to give place to Signor Crispi,
whose bitter and factious enemies he
then Joined. The hostility caused him
TO be beaten in a provincial election in
