Russian Discontent.
The London 7 rimes recently contained a gloomy account of the serious state of political unrest in Russia. Frequent murders of officials take place, and even the Social Democrats, wlio are nominally on the side of law ami order, seem to be adopting terrorist measures. At Baku the Armenian? and Jews are said to wo-ar mourning and refuse to visit places of amusement as a protest against Russian policy towards their. people. The Caucasus seems to lye very much in the position of a hostile country jfcld by soldiers and a small 'body of alien officials. Russia is so accustomed to disaffection on her frontiers that she probrf dy rates those incidents ! low ; but even in the heart of the country it looks as if the discontented classes were resolved to chockmate -the methods of her secret }u>l- ! ice by an equally effective and even less defensible secret service of their own.
