RUSSIAN POLITICAL PROGRESS.
The czar or Bussia appears to be
making a genuine effort toward modi
lying nis autocratic rule, ntii a view
probably of furnishing his country a
constitution guaranteeing a certain
degree of representative government
He is not the first czar who has at
tempted this. His father tried it be
fore him, but his early moves in that
direction were followed; by events
which indicated to his mind that if he
but once loosened the bonds of the
people ever so slightly the act would
prove the precursor of a deluge; that
if concessions were made they would
but prove the entering wedge of revo
lution and anarchy. He was like the
individual who grasped the bear's
tail afraid to hold on and afraid to
let go. He held on, however, and his
sou up to date has continued the
operation.
The Russian czars have been aware
for some time that an autocracy in
this age in anything like a civilized
country is an anachronism, and that
if there is not a gradual adaptation of
the Russian government to more
modern forms a revolution is sooner
or later sure to come. The terrible
lesson of the French revolution is not
wholly lost in Russia. In France the
political tide was dammed back so
long and determinedly by the Bour
bons that there was no such thing as
a safe descent to a constitutional
form of government. The cords of
authority once loosened, the flood of
anarchy swiftly came. The question
in Bussia is whether the flood behind
the dam is already too great to be let
down gradually, or whether the level
can be reached without a convulsion
like that of France; and it is an in
tensely interesting one to tho parties
unmedialclv concerned.
The condition of the Bussian peo
ple is not as bad as that of the F rench
was before the revolution, but there
are important points of similarity be
twecn the two. The finances of
Bussia are in an almost hopeless
state. There is no telling just what
the amount of debt is, and there is no
prospect of its ever being paid oil.
Au aristocracy stands between tho
throne and Ihe people in one case as
in the other, consuming tho public
substance. The national expendi
tures are greater than the national
income, and -must continue so as long
:is the immense standing army is sus
tained and corruption prevails. If
there is no relief to tho increasing
strain, it can be seen that a point will
be reached eventually when something
will break.
The enemies to reform in Bussia
are the Nihilists and the nobility. The
former will not accept gradual meas
ures, and the latter will not willingly
relinquish their opportunities for
spoil. They constitute a vast system
of middle-aged men, and levy a heavy
loll on what passes from the people
into the government coffers. Whether
the czar will prove powerful enough
to institute his proposed reforms in
the faco of these obstacles remains to
be seen. He is moving cautiously
and experimentally, but he perforce
uses dangerous tools.
Getting A Homo.
There are two important steps to be
tnken by every young man who has
to depend upon his own exertions
for a living. The first is to master
some occupation which he can rely
upon in after years for a livelihood.
The three or four years spent in learn
ing a trade are to most young men
years of privation, during which they
are compelled to exercise the most
rigid economy. The lessons taught
during these years, if properly ap
plied, will render the next step the
procurement of a home compara
tively easy of accomplishment A
wage-worker, in possession of a good
trade and a comfortable house to
live in, is on the highway to compe
tence. The greatest obstacle-to the
steady advancement and prosperity
of the mechanic is the constant drain
which a landlord makes upon his in
come. The man who cams $G00 or
S1000 a year has to pay from one
fourth to one-third of his wages for
rent, if ho wishes to live comfortably.
Even at these figures the houses fur
nished in the larger cities are very
deficient in many respects, especially
as regards situation and sanitary
arrangements. The demand for
dwellings of the character best suited
to mechanics is always in excess of
the supply, and rents have been
steadily on tho increase. It is plain,
therefore, the first step toward inde
pendence is for the mechanic o own
his own house. If he has to
pay out rents every ten years as
much as would secure for himself a
comfortable home, there is but slim
chances of his ever accumulating
much money. Tho true policy is to
secure a home either before marriage
or while the family is small and in
expensive. If the task is delayed for
ten or a dozen years tho chances are
that it will never bo accomplished.
Once a wage-worker becomes his own
landlord he can save a sum annually at
least equal to what his rent would be,
and this continued for a period of
yearamust result in a competence if
a judicious use is made of the money.
It may not be possible for all me
chanics to obtain homes of their own,
but thousands of them who continue
renters all their lives could do so if
they would only make tho effort. It
requires some degree of self-denial
to accomplish the result, but once
obtained it removes the chief obstacle
to those steady accumulations which
are tho foundations of all fortunes,
.great or small.
About $50,000 was raised in this
country for ihe defense of O'Donnell,
and probably less than one-tenth of
that amount reached him. Provi
dence always lias some mysterious
"way of taking oare of distinguished
Irish patriots in New York.

Resignation.
VIllari'M
Discussing tho abdication of Yil
lard the Boston Transcript of the
19th says:
Villard's following was a blind fol
lowing. His work was almost always
in tne dark, and is still m darkness,
jir. vuiards management was
marked by extravagance. Commis
sions paid for negotiation of North
era Pacific loans, and for financial as
sistance, have aggregated between
$5,000,000 and 10,000,000.
The cost of that portion of the
Northern Pacific road built by Mr.
Yiilard has been about $70,000 per
mile, and it will cost when completed
above fcbU.OOU a mile. The bankers
commissions upon funds raised to
build this line amounted to 810,000 a
mile, the cost per mile of an ordinary
western or Kansas railroad.
The amount of capital involved
with the Oregon and Transcontinent
al oompany, rising $300,000,000, was
too large for the meager population
of the states and territories in which
it was invested, to realize the expec
tations of the investors.
Speculation in the Oregon and
Transcontinental company extended
beyond the domain of the Northern
Pacific and Oregon companies, and
was apparently without end. This 'is
one reason why all its assets and lia
bilities can not now be made public
Villard showed lack of judgment
regarding the attractions of a new
road as a new country for investors,
when he invited the world to witness
the ceremony of joining tho Northern
Pacific rails, and the selling of secur
ities by the excursionists assisted the
downward movement of his secur
ities.
Villard misled the public and
his associates in regard to the
increase in stock of the Oregon and
Transcontinental company, when it
was raisod from $35,000,000 to $10,-
(JlKJjUUU. We are not able to confirm
the report that the Oregon and Trans
continental company's floating debt
was found to be nearly S25,000,000,
but we can confirm the report which
gained currency in stock circles in
Boston last week, but was not be
lieved, that a new indebtedness of
$1,000,000 had been discovered for
the Oregon Improvement Company.
Here is a company with $7,000,000
capital and about S5,000,000 funded
debts, which recenth- sold to Boston
investors $2,000,000 worth of capital
stock, making a total issue of $7,000,-
uuu to cancel all its noating indebt
edness. It then raised its dividend
to 8 per cent Within the last ten
days new indebtedness of $1,000,000
is discovered in tho Oregjn Improve
ment company, and indorsed as genu
ine, yet Villard says ho never heard
of it before.
Tho resignation of Villard is view
ed with a satisfaction exceeded only
1... il. -L 1. 1 1TT-11 T
u mat wiiicu welcomes wiiiara jem
dicott, Jr., as his successor. The
name of Mr. Eudicolt recalls all that
is truest and most noble in New Eng
land life and character; from the
anti-slavery movement down to
th latest state struggle with But
ler and Butlerism. Tho asurance
that Mr. Endicott takes the
management of this gigantic
transcontinental enterprise only from
a desire to serve his associates who
have invested almost wholly upon his
personal character, is needless. He
has already more pubbc and trust re
sponsibilities than any other man in
Massachusetts of like personal fort
une, and for several years has only
desired for himself relief. Yet each
year has found him in new fields of
usefulness to others. His clear pene
tration which has opened wide many
a difficult problem before, will soon
reveal the depths in the Oregon and
Transcontinental company.

if they will watch his friends pretty

not fail to see their mistake. From

friends are actively at work selecting
their men for the legislature, and
they do not propose to have any of
