We are continually told that the people
OF Russia are not prepared for and do not
even desire representative government,
and that revolution Is impossible so long
es the army remains loyal. Our author
takes q different view Of the matter. He

instance In which the living forces Of Q

assembly, found on opening the OWc'os
Messenger that they had been forestalled
by q decree declaring for the maintenance
OF the old machine the continuance OF
the war and the punishment OF agitators.
Vow let us look at the provincial as
distinguished from the central admnis-
tration. So far as the inhabitants OF the
rural districts who constitute vast ma
jority Of Russia's population are con-
cerned, the mir, or village commune 49,
OF course, the economic unit. The IN
habitants Of q given commune are COL
lectively responsible for the direct taxes
assessed against that commune. In thirty.
four provinces, or so called governments
OF European Russia there are zemstvos
(provincial and district councils) and IN
many towns there are doumas, or municipal
councils. In Poland there is certain
measure OF self-government In the rura!
parishes, under the strict supervision OF
district chiefs OF police. but the Pohsh
towns are administered by magistrates ap-
pointed by the States, and have no doumas.
The Cossaok territories arc under purely
military administration. In the nine from
tier provinces, which, besides Poland
include Finland, the Southwest and North
west Territories, the Caucasus. the province
Of Irkutsk, that Of tho Amur Valley. Turkes-
tan and the Central Asian steppes. there
Is no pretense Of hiding the mailed INST.
suoh self governing functions as, originally
and Theoretically, were vested In the mfrs,
zemstvos and doumas have for years been
subjected to continual encroachments AZ
the hands Of the central administration.
At the head Of each province stands Gov
ernor, who is clothed with q double au-
thority. He represents the central State
In general and the Ministry Of the Interior
In particular. In the former capacity he
promulgates laws and announces decisions
which have the force OF law In matters OF
public order, security and decency; he also
exercises a rigorous surveillance over all
administrative and representative bodies
in the province. As agent Of tho Ministry
of the Interior, he is chief Of the provincial
police. A Governor is nomin,sl!y aided BY
q council or regency. which. In the scheme
formulated by Catherine II. In !77S. was
intended to be true representative OF local
self government; 1t has long lost its in
dependence, however, and Ii now little
more than q police board. The districts,
Of which from eight to fifteen are united IN
province, are practically ruled, not by
civil or judicial officers. but by police cap
tains nominated by the Governor. Only
the largest towns have a special urban
police. There is no doubt that, in the matter
Of local elf-government. Russia has gone
backward, not forward during the last
two reigns.

are separated from each other BY o wide
belt of Slavonic country. Az regards their
number statistics vary. According to
some authorities, there are not more than
$1,000 Of them, but Rumanian patriots
affirm them to comprise at least half 4
million; our author thinks that probably
they amount to about 100000. Politically
their Importance Is small. They have
usually kept on good terms with the Turks
who, until the last rising, treated them less
badly than their other nom Hellenic Chris
tian subjects. They attend to their trades
and take little part in political agitation.
For long time they were undistin guished
from the Greeks, whose language tfey
spoke, as we'll as their own, and the Creek
party still counts them as Greeks in its
statistics Of Macedonia.
In one OF the most helpful chapters of
this volume, Mr. f. Hilton Young expresses
the belief that the Macedonian problem
might be easily solved II the Christian
Powers sincerely desired solution devised
exclusively In the interests Of the inhahi-
tants He would have them exact of the
Porte that an autonomous system Of gov

the general welfare requisite for wise
legislation. how much moro needful is suoh
an assembly In an empire presenting such
diversity Of racial intellectual and economic
conditions Mr.. Perris Is convinced that
ten years ago the Russian people would
have been satisfied with very small modi-
cum Of influence In State affairs The rejeo-
ton Of the most modest demands has aggra-
waited and broadened the popular discon-
tent, until now nothing but radical reform
OF the whole system will be accepted. The
opinion is even expressed that, without any
kind OF representation at st. Petersburg,
the dangerous pressure Of discomfort would
have been relieved had a reasonable amount
Of liberty Of press and Of public meeting
been conceded ten years ago. In Q word,
the old order might have been upheld for
a long time had not its sweeping and bar
ba-ous disregard Of personal rights revealed
its vertically pira'ioal character. The old
time pirate, indeed, is pronounced the type
of the existing Russian oligarohy, in that ne
had shaken OF all responsibility save to his

Russia lack the quality and sanction OF law

There is evidence that not the people

distraction by the play OF incalculable
