Insurrection or Revolution.

Russia is ripe neither for revolution
nor for constitutional government,
says Alexander Ular. French authori-
ty on the land of the car, writing in
the Paris Review. The frequent out
bursts of riot and insurrection are To-
cal In so far as the peasant masses
axe concerned. The word nation is
never used by the Russians, who talk
of the people and mean confederation
of isolated and independent mfrs, or
communities. To quote:
The members of a mir. commune or
village government. see nothing In
change of regime which could influence
the conditions of communal life. This is,
perhaps, the most curious fact in the po-
litical psychology of the moujik. His In
terests are absolutely confined to his COM
uiune and do not lead him to realize that
he is part of a nation. He has no national
conscience. He has no country, but be-
longs only to a commune, or, rather to
a district in the commune The shreWd
policy of the state absolutely forbids him
to think of the interests of others. The
law of the czar has connected him with
a certain mir; he cannot leave 1t; he Is
condemned to belong to it forever. The
local law In each mir differs according to
circumstances. Any union between mfrs
is out OF the question. Well does the
autocracy understand the maxim, Divide
ct impera divide and govern. He (the
peasanO has no idea of parliamentarian-
ism based on direct suffrage, with respon-
sible ministers as an executive. If he had
a parliament IT would be filed with men,

Of those who would constitute this gro-
tesque company would adopt through reli-
gious atavism the views of any minister
who spoke in the name of the car The
result would be a regime of sheer stupid
ity.
Mr.. Ular argues that riots and in
surrections in Russia have no political
end in view and have their origin in
some material or local question. The
very word revolution is unintelligible
to the people, and their acts of vic.
lence are often an attempt to exploit
their grievances before the car, who
tenn Of universal education and no
press to enlighten, the masses are sunk
In illiteracy. One man peasant In

peasant woman in twenty-five can

twenty attends school occasionally.
These facts explain the slow progress
made in political reformation.

Strenuous Life In Literature.


That there Is tendency in modern
English fiction to keep In the fore
ground the pushing noisy, undignified
individual is asserted by Mr.. A. G.
Benson in tho National Review. We
tend to be dominated by clamorous
schools of ready writers, says Mr.. Ben
son, and the book critics are equally
blamable with the authors. One class
Of critics, disciples of the virile
school," maintain that vividness, loud
ness and decision are the permanent
qualities in art. To quote:
The boisterous, Joyful, good humored,
high spirited temperament which Is fash
ionable now in art has a right to be con-
sidered no doubt, but the appropriate set
ting for such natures is real life. When
they become self conscious and look at
themselves In the mirror, admire the evil
dences of health and activity and set to
work to talk about themselves one feels
that there is something amiss. They
stretch out their legs and pat their thighs
in public, and the result is that they at
tract a good deal of attention. But the
world would be Il very uninteresting place
If II were entirely peopled by such indi-
vldualItIes. Meanwhile the other type
hardly get a hearing. 1t is like the sus-
pension of the talk OF sensible persons
which takes place when some healthy,
complacent and outspoken child is pro-
duced for inspection and admiration.
The writer says that the hearts of
men at the present time are turned
from simplicity and peace, from tran
quill joys, settled labor and the stiffness
of countryside, to the noise of cities,
the heated talks of clubrooms and the
rattle, roar and spin Of rapid life. This
is a relapse into barbarism, revolt of
primitive nature against the refine
ment of civilization.

That suggestion from the secretary
of war that Uncle Sans soldiers be
encouraged to learn to swim is a step
in the right direction, but should be
more positive. Good swimmers might
be given important work to do and
things being equal. IN most countries
armies on campaign are frequently
stopped by bodies of water without
means of crossing. General Forests
rough riders could swim, and their
horses could swim. Rivers didn't stop
them. Swimmers in blue cleared the
southern bank of the Rappahannock
and Rapidan of Confederates and help
ed lay the bridges over which Burnside
and Grant marched troops and hauled
cannon.
General Funston's career Is an ex-
ample of what proficiency in swimming
will do for the individual. There were
plenty of officers and soldiers with the
courage to cross the Philippine rivers
under fire, but they couldn't SWIM 1t
was commonplace thing for Funston,
bred on sheep farm, and he could
swim and keep his wits about him at
the same time. An army with no
swimmers at all in the ranks would be
In a sorry plight on an overland cam

there are the quicker it can make the
goal.

Growth of the Newer Universities.

Growth of the Newer Universities.
The figures showing the enrolment
of students In our universities at the
opening of the school year indicate
fluctuations In attendance that are sug
gestive and interesting. Harvard's
roll of 1904 in 1904 dropped to 1866,
and Columbia suffered u still greater
loss. The only old institution Of learn
ing which shows an increase Is that of
the University Of Pennsylvania, which
has $3.50 students. The University of
Michigan is credited with a greater at
tendance than Harvard, for 1t has 4,049
enrolled. The percentage of growth III
twelve leading universities between the
Alleghanies and the Rockies is II,
while the average percentage in seven
institutions east of the Alleghanies Is
but 4.
1t is probable that some of the loss
In students from the large universities
Is due to the increasing popularity Of
small colleges, which are now offering

$10,000.000 for the benefit of small col

What big job congress has in deal
ing with the railroad question may be
realized from the magnitude and
wealth of these corporations. The to-
tai value of the roads Is about $15,-
OOO,0O0,00O and the earnings in 1904
about $2,0OO,O00,000. The earnings in
crease faster than the mileage, and the
profits are now larger than ever be-
fore. One system, the Pennsylvania,
earns more than one-eighth of the total
income of all the railroads.
