RUSSIA’S TRAGEDY.
“Peasant and artisan alike in Russia, have exchanged one form of absolutism for another incomparably more oppressive; and at what a cost, not merely of human life, hut also of physical and moral degradation. The old bourgeoisie has indeed vanished, hut only to he succeeded by a new class of officials and wealthier, or rather less indigent, peasants and smalt traders. as the result of the concessions extorted by economic necessity from the pure theory of Communism. And the world revolution has been a dismal failure. Though a world-wide spirit of unrest was sedulously fostcied, and in a few countries like Hungary. Communism temporarily game'' the upper hand, the foundations of society have proved equal to the strain. The damnosa hoereditas of Communist propaganda is still a cause for constant anxiety, even in England, where all the conditions precedent to- the French ami Russian upheavals are lacking; hut ic- ■ volution so earnestly promoted fiom Moscow seems farther off than ever.”— “Times” (London).
