EXTREMES MEET.
The Vienna Press draws a parallel between the present situation of the British and Russian Governments. It observes :—"Extremes meet. The two members of the political system of Europe who represent the opposite poles of national and Russia—are the victims, r.t the present moment, of revolutionary maladies presenting a close resemblance." The Press notes that all the reforms of Loris Melikoff have failed as yet to extirpate Nihilißtn in Russia, but the British Government have a more difficultask to perform than its friend on the Neva. In Russia by a movement in the direction of sound reform the Gorernt ment may succeed in cutting the ground from under the feet of the conspiratois. But not even from the most extensive measures for the disencumberance of land, not even from changing all the destitude and hungry tillers of the soil into free peasant proprietors, does the English Government ever expect to make British patriots out of Irish Home Rulers and Nationalists.
