Y. Times. When the circular was pnblished a short time ago in Boston ealling for contributions to a fund to promote nihilism and telling of the establish- ment of an association here, which circular had attached to it the well- known name of Vera Sassulitch, 1 sought my ninilist friend, the doctor, and asked him what he thought of it. I have no wish to impugn the mo tives of those who have issued the circular,” replied the doctor. “I do not know them, and they may bo hon- est and well-meaning people; but the thing does not please me at ail.” ““What is objectionable in it{"” “* his begging for money. I epoak a8 a Russian, and say that I strongly object to having our party brought be- fore the world as beggars, 1t is hu- miliating to meas a Russian to see this. Therc is no necessity to beg for money. Our party has iever had to do it, and I fail to see any justiti- cation whatever for doing it now. I do not like it atall,” repeated the doctor, wich some degree of irrita- tion in his tone. “Then you would not advise con- tributions?” ‘I should not give any money my- self, and 1 should not counsel any one else to give, until by personal inquiry he can be very sure where his money is going. I do not believe in it at all, Our party has always been able to raise the money it needed in Ruasia among our own people, and it does so now. This coming before the world the attitude of beggars will do us infinitely mors harm than any good which the money obtained might do, supposing it to be honest- ly spent. Besides, there is no press- ing necessity for money. Are we to revolutionize Russia by buying up public opinion! I only know one uime when our party was really in need of money. There wasa tem- porary drain of funds, so they broke open the government bank in St. Pe- tersburg and replenished the treasury from the government funds. You may resy assured gf this, that when the nihilist party, yma to go to other countries begging for money, the revolutionary movement will be ex- tinet in Russia, and of that I see no signs now.” ‘‘How about Skobelef’s speeches? Do you think that they will lead to war?” ‘‘Mere talk. Russiaisin no con- dition to go to war. See the trouble we had in fighting the Turks. Cer- tain it 1s if she fights Germany single- ded she will be whipped. With France as an ally, attacking Germany on the west, while Ruesia attacked on the east, the result would probably be different. But Russia is not fic for war now,"” ‘“Would a German war be popular?”’ ““Well, it would and it would not. We Russians do not like the Germans at all, and the great popularity of Skobeloff is due to the delight the people have in seemg how a few. words from him set all Ger- many in an uproar. They enjoy the fun, and just now there is no more popular man in Russia than the aashing general who could, so stir them up with an after-dinner’'speech. Skobeleffalways kLas been popular. Heis a finesoldier, a fine scholar, a wonderful linguist and a thorough Russ an. There is noue of the Ger- mario-official flavor about him. Then he has not been mixed up in any disa- greeable politics. Todleben was sent to govern the south, and Gourkho Centre Russia, and other generals to other parts, under those extraordi- nary orders for military rule, but Sko- beleff by some skillful means contrived to steer clear of the mess, ““To what is your dislike of Ger- many due!” “*Partly historical, partly in race. Historically, 1t dutes from the time of Peter the Great. He was one of the greatest men that ever lived, but 1 think he did infinitely more harm to Russia than he did good. Our party has to undo much of the work he did. He was one of those great reformers who are too impatient to wait for things to grow up naturally; them must build them up ariificially He violently 1nterrupted the normal growth of the country, which, crude and rough as it was, would have worked itself out m vime in a_natural and satisfactory manner, and intro- duced a vast imperialism, well organ- ized, thorough in its wWorking, and almost resistless in power. This was utterly foreign to the Russian people, who paturally are the most democratic in the world T think; and it was not accomplished without ureat violence aud bloodshed. Our vast standing army dates from him. He eucceeded by his iron will and groat genins, While he lived he worked solely for Russia—no other thought was in his mind. But the system he founded in the hauds of his successors became one of the most derpotic tyranni on earth, Have [you read Schule Russian _papers, published in ribner's! Well, 1 mention them to say that he has com pletely failed to understand the place that Peter the Great occupied in ,ltu-- sian history, or the deparcure that his reign marks in it, ““Now, Peter the Gireat wanted men who could do his work, and he had to find them mainly among the Germans, We Russians were notadvanced enough and not nearly 85 well adapted by race conditions, Mechanics, book keepers, architects, builders, adwinistrators, supervisors, and other like the czar hap to get from Germany, He placed them in all positions of trust and re sponsibility i the government ser- vice, and to this day the court party and Jhe office holding class of Russia 188 German party, German used to be the court layguage, but the present emperor, before hoe came to the thione, was one of the anti-German faction, aud carried it 8o far as to forbid Ger- man to be spoken in his palace under penalty of a fine. There probably was some ilea that it would Lelp the Rus- sian, or anti<imperial, movement along gto have hLim succeed to the crowu and this way have been in the mands 3o the men who planned the killin, of the late emperor, extent how the Russian people asa whole dislike this foreign element, identified with the imperial power, settled among them. should say from what I have seen in New York that the feeling with the botter clasas- es is much the same as that with which the average American resident regards the office-holding Trishman, But, of course, we have to acknowl- that Germany is ahead of us in the matter of civilization ~it is useless to ignore that. But I do say that dir- cetly Russia has a fair chance for seif- development, which will be when she gets u constitutional government, any will have to go slong pretty quick if we don't overtake and pass her. We Rugsians are in ths crude state now, but there is more improv- able stuff in the Russian than the (Grerman ever had or began to have. ‘‘I'he Slavs and Germans are so dif- ferent that it is not easy for them to mix well. The Germau is dull, plodding and methodical, and we are not methodical ~that was how Peter found it better to employ Germans— but impulsive, irregular and quick. We haven's the industry they have; but the German can’t #ee a joke un- less it is as broad as & barn door; and the Russian will catch a joke inan instant. Yet we are more practical than they are, and while the German goes off into vague and dreamy speculations, the Russian scizes tho puint and goes straight to the heart of the matter. He sets to work to do while the other is dreaming philos- ophy. The Russian.people were quick to note that with all his methodical skill and industry how dull and heavy the average German is, and they have nicknames for them expressing | = & degree of lively ,contempt. But it is as the office holding elass of Russia that the better classes of Ruesians de- test them."” “Is there a large German popula- tion in Russia?” “‘Oh, yes. The Baltic provinces are full of Germans. There has always been a large German emigration to Russia, The Mennonites, who have been emigrating here, are really Ger- mans, not Russians, They orig; came from Germany upon the invita- tion of Catherine, who wanted to sot- tle the vast and fertile territory of Southern Russia. She promised them that their peculiar tenet about bearing arms should bo respected, and they have been living in their own commu- nities ever since. When military ser- vice was made universally compulsory some time ago they found themselves m trouble and emigrated here.’ “Do they expect never to be called on to bear arms heref for if so, they may find they have jumped out of the frying-pan into the fire.”’ I don't know. America, you know, is regarded as the home of all isms, from Shakerism to Mormonism; and the Mennonites lave come, doubtless, with that impression,” “Returning to Nihilism n, tell me when it started.” ‘It started into active being im- mediately after the Crimean war. It received its most powerful impetus through the abolition of serfdom.” ‘“That was the act of the Iate em- peror.” ‘“Yes, if you mean that the edict was signed by him. The Crimean war may be said to have been the immediate cause of its abolition.” ““Was it not the voluntary act of the emperor?” ‘“Well, you know that it was Presi- dent Lincoln who issued the emanci- pation proclation; bat do you think it would b historically correct to say that Preident Lincoln, being elected, was moved with compassion for the sufferings of the colored race, and, de- termining to give them their freedom, issued a proclamation to that effect! Of course, history written in that way would be grotesquely absurd, Yot it would be quite as near, or nearer, the truth, as to say that the great move- ment, lasting through the reigns of many czars and finalty culminating in the edict of Alexander, was the sole and voluntary act of that emperor. Lven Peter the Great was not equal to effecting of his own sole will 8o rash and far-reaching a revelation.” New Ideas About Sorghum. Perhaps no industry of the North- west is more rapidly developing than that of growing sorghum for molasses and sugar, and while perfection has not been reached, advances are made every year. Societies of eane growers exist in many of the states, and thoir deliberations, debates and published proceedings ure of the most valuable and interesting churacter, Especially is this the case with the organization in Muinesota, which seems 1o stand at the head. This work is all the more valuable because it is demonstrating the untold resources of our soil and climate, and showing their boundless possibiiities. But leaving the sugur question out of consideration for the very good and suflicient reason that it is bravoly taking care of itsolf—here are a couple of suggestions in regard to this plant, which we tind aflo:t in the sea of agricultural reading, thougn they may not ba uew. The firei s that sorghum seed as a grain for flour or meal is gradually coming into use and constantly growing in favor, It is suid that by many it is even prefer red to buckwheit or corn for batser- cakes, T is also predicted, with great confidence that it will ere long come | _ into general use for biscuitsand raised bread. The other suggestion is that it may be most profitably grown and cured for winter fodder for cattle, and possibly auy other kind of barnyard hve stock, The recommendation is that iv be sown broadcast like whoat or oate, and when it has attained the height of three or four feet it be cut and cured like grass, One enthusias- tic gentleman asser's that he has so raised and cured it for twenty-one years, und greatly preicrs it to timothy hay for cattlo, From all which we naturally infer that the value of the sorghum plant is not yet half known, amd thav it will amply repay thrifiy farmers to experiment with it, ——— Chigken Cholera* Fred D, Baldwia in Western Far J:urnal This is a subject that has be much discussed, but there are stantly so many inquiries made cerning it that I thought I would give my treatment for this dread disease. It is first necessary to distinguish the symptoms, as most of the discases which fowls are heir t, arelaid to this disease. The fowls have a drooping appear- ance, seek dark places, aud are very You can understand now to some | thirsty. The comb and whattles ose their natural color, becoming dark, There is always diarrhea with greenish discharge, which afterward The di- and the becomes frothy and thin. gestion becomes imperiect fowl dies. On disseoting fowls that have died of this disease, the liver appears very much enlarged and flabby, The crop and intestines are very much in flamed. The first thing to do is to remove all diseased birds and bury all that die, a8 cholera can never bo stampod out when this is not done. Dismnfect the coops and places where the fowls congregate with water containing five ounces of sulphuric acid to the gallon. Drench the droppings of diseased birds the diseased germs. Give them Douglass mixture, made by taking eight ounces of common copperas and half fluid ounce of sul- phuric acid in a gallon of water, also adding a littlo tannic acid, when cholera prevails, This mixture is a valuable tonic for poultry and acts as a preventive to all disenses, il for twenty-five fowls will bo every day when infection is present, and every other day is enough when no disease is present. This mixture with sulphuric acid water to destroy | & will cost you but httle, and there is nothing better for them. Common coal oil is one of the best preventa. tives for this diseaso. Sonk a feeding of corn or wheat in the oil for a few hours and feed it to the fowls two or three times a weok. It is also a sov- ereign remedy for other poultry dis- orders, some of which I will mention hereafter. DR. F. SOHHRER, Physician and ‘Surgéon CHRONIC DISEASES, RHEUMATISM, kte., A SPECIALTY.
