JAPAN HELPS RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
Pobedobistzeff, Russian Land Redivi-
us, is given the credit OF fostering the
1lngo spirit in Russia TO distract the
attention OF the people from their own
wrongs, inflicted by the Bureaucracy
In this case victorious Japan will
render the Russian people the greatest

obsolete, unwarrantable survival of
medieval barbarism.'
THE FERMENT IN RUSSIA.
The masses of Russian people were
sald to be in ferment, very much
Ike they were in France at the end
or the eighteenth century. Economical
changes have upset Russia; in the last
ten years Russian manufacturing In
dustries have increased. tenfold, and
two new economical classes have been
created thereby; the Industrial barous |
ard industrial proletarians, for whom !
there was no room in the old system. |
The old agricultural interests were a i
different class. which for a century |
was quiet and peaceful. The rapid |
manufacturing rise with its new class |
es, demanding a political place and /
influence, is responsible for the dis /
'turbing element
Russian bureaucracy said the
speaker, does not realize yet who the |
intruder is, and like a blindfolded man
innocents by the thousand and failing
to strike the real devil.
And the real devil, M De Witte, sits l
right close to the throne, on the right
hand of the emperor, within the reach
of his hand; it is Mr.. De Witte. the
talented minister of finance, man of
humble origin, who managed the eco
nomical department for nearly ten
years. Leaving aside the natural
course of things and The original spring
of technical inventions, one must give ii
full credit to Mr.. De Witte; he was the
next link in the chain, the first assist
ant and the second partner of Satan
himself 1t was MIR. De Witte who cre-
ated and increased tenfoId Russian |
industries
This activity IN manufacturing on the
part of De Witte, DR.. Russell said Grip
pied the agrarian interests, both land
lords and peasants. These men were
then driven into the ranks of the dis
industrials. All Of these men |
have been drawn to the support of the
doctrines of the intellectual
classes centered about the universities. !
These forces working together, DR.. |
Russell said in conclusion, meant the
birth of the Russian federated Re-
