if these officers were aid with pro-'

A lORRESPOSBETTS REPORT.
He 'Comes Across a Russian Who
Tolls 6f the Balaklava Charge. !
Losdox,! Feb.. 1. A correspon
dent travelling in Russia has written
a description of the sitnatioTi in" the
Government of Tambov, wjhieh has an
area of about twenty-ffvi thousand
square miles and a population of
nearly . two! and oue-hiiif millions.
Although no death's from actual
starvation jhave ! been reported -the
dreaded hp 'iger typhus has ijnade its
appearancejin a certain nnmber of
vii Sages. Al ready 7,000,000" roubles
have been expended in provisioning
the province. .
The correspondent has ascertained
that from -aii economic poiut pf vievr,
according to the popular. belief, the
emauc.patidn of the serfs has been
the curse.o the country.: Thi view
is not confined to reactionary country
gentlemen; t is the general .opiriion.
Nothing hajs contributed more to. the
impoverishijaent of J. the country, than
unscientific
use which has been made
of the rai
evstem".
He goes on to say:
f- ?.Tbe vaillways of Russia have been
coustTuctedilargely with a view totu
development of ' new grain-raising
areas. Thtjy were run dov?p to some,
fertile distrjet, the load, was worked
oh the American system and exhaus1 -ed,
and then fresh graiu areas were
sought. The difference between the
experience ot America and Russia is
this: . In t id former country the
native popu lation have been extermi
nated, in Russia they have bt en left
to starve. ! '.-;t'-'- ' : .
"An1 agriculturist of authority told
me that he lad seen with his 'own
eyes how thp Sopth Russia peasantry,
had been gj-adujally sinking "under
the influence of the railway. Unable,
to compete jvith the large farmer,
who came dowu from, the north and
exploited' tlhe land on a large scale,
the native peasant was compelled to
sell his oxen and his surplus laud,
and now h has only miserable little
horseF, too weak for the European
plough.: S1 lie is obliged to content
himself with a system of cultivation
M'hich amoiints;to little, more than
scratching the' surface of the earth.
"The railways have brought out'
the inequality between the peasant
and the gentlemen, and ruined the
farmer wittiaut benefiting the-latter,
who, as a rule, squandered, the wealth
derived frbiti his estate in Paris or at
Monte Carlo, and now there is great
lamentation; all over the country be
cause the whole of Russia is exhaust
ed, with thej exception, of its last new
territory, the Caucasus, . -v
