MUTINY of sailors on Russian warshipSr-one I i , of which has been completely taken possession ; of by the mutineers. -and has -therelore- become " 'legally and officially a pirate . which the government, is seeking to destroy as such, is a very rare incident in the -world's history, if indeed any parallel to it can be found. When, this happens and when thevjpirit . of TmTItiny, s rife not only throughout the navy but. the army also, a government is in a desperate strait indeed, for subjec tion to discipline is the first and chief duty soldleri are taught and the onej which they learn most . thoroughly. What, the officers and men of the Kniax Potempkin did , those of, Russia's few remaining ships.are JikelyJu , clined to do, and rumors are -rife that the soldiery cannot be depended upon much longer . to obey the grand ducal brdersrbut in any emergency may turn against the gov ernment. So the great body of -Russia trembles today on the verge of a widespread and wholesale revolution, ' of which storm the insurrections, massacres and mu - tiniea that are occurring are tht preliminary great drops and electrical rautterings. The Russian empire is surely in r very bad way. Its' soldiers and sailors are paid practically nothing and are generally addicted to vodka, , and take nojpjidjin doing their duty; the peasantry is burdened with poverty and gross superstition; the ruling , classes, including admirals and generals, are hopelessly ; corrupt and incompetent; and the caar is a weakling incapable of either effecting reforms or' maintaining hi V government without 4 doing 1 so.'

THE FOURTH OF JULYr OUTH is much the same now ai if was 50 or 100 years ago, with regard to the celebration of the great national holiday. The country baa changed through development very much; there are a multitude of means of celebrating that' had not been .devised or were pot available when peophr-mow bid were children, but human nature remains much the same, and while elderly, people may consider some features of a Fourth of July celebration, an annoyance and . a nuisance, the -children and youth regard itas a red-letter-day,-nd nrust be permitte'S to enjoy it largely in ways most agree able to them. -"In-the- matter of deafening and nerve- racking explosives, and some other devices that have been in vogue in recent years, the celebration ot Inde" pendence day has been overdone, and some improvement is desirable and is being effected; but it will not do for older people to forget4haMhey have-been.bOya and girls, or to restrict and repress : youthful vivacity and en thusiaam, into -too narrow-limits even if mingled with "or running somewhat into folly. There is a broad basic reason for the celebration of this holiday, in much the way it is customarily observed. - Let the sedate and thoughtful man think, the grandmother dream of days Jong gone, the citiien who prefers get out into the coun try; but noise and merriment and fun and frolic, with some mischief, must necessarily enter into a true celebra tion of the fourth of July.? i . f ; V PORTLAND AS A iRAILRO AD TERMINUS.
