THE PEOPLE .OF' RUSSIA , Tholr Hnblts nnd Ouatoma The Ozar'ti Tyranny. THE DESPOTIC GOVERNMENT. The Royal Pnnilly The Censor of the Press The Church of KtiHsIa An American's A'lows on Affairs. ST. PJCTEUSIUMIO , Oct. 17. [ Cor respondence of the BEE. ] To under stand Russia , Imperialism nnd her Institutions , nml especially to appreci ate the tyranny hero , nnd to know why such violent efforts are made to destroy the czar and his despotic government , the people must first bo understood. The people moro than the country make a republic , a kingdom or an empire what It Is. Americans , moro than any other rnco , oppose violence ns moans of reform. The franchise of the people works re formation , together with the customs which bring about changes In ofllco. But in a country where there Is no such thing us the ballot , and corruption , un- fitncss nnd natural circumstances do not change official mako-ups , the people nro driven to other moans than political to work reforms. Hero the throne is the inheritance of a single family , and officers of the empire are never punished for crimes against the people. A Russian may with im punity and in cold blood murder a whole family , if it has no connection with the throne , enter a plea of guilty and bo sure , under no condition , that his act will cost him his lifo. Ho will go to Erison , probably exile in Siberia , for n aw years. But if ho is found guilty of uttorancesagtiinstamomber of the royal family or in opposition to the imperial rule , ho is taken from his homo , shop , store or office , and never moro is heard of. His lifo pays the penalty. I had road much in romancing litera ture about tho' " "mysterious disappear ances" of people in Russia who wrote or spoke against the high-handed imperiousness - ousness of the czar , but came to St. Peters burg ready to discredit it all. I believed it might have boon true ono day , but that it could not bo now. In the face of danger ono is less appreciative of it ; yet in the capital ot Russia I am ready to confirm the most that I have hoard of the dungeons , the guillotine and Siberia. THE CONDITION OF AFFA1US in this country can bo compassed when it is known that there nro no free schools and none of a private nature free from the personal supervision of the czar's censor. Not a line of printed matter comes into the territory that is not scrutinized by the censor of the press , not a telegram tent in or out without the inspection , and nothing will be suffered in any form , by tongue or ink , which takes exception to any feature of the government or suggests any form of government. To violate the law is to court dcaVn. And one does not have to j-urs > ist in violating this law to meet with swift punishment. Once is sufficient. For a mild form of indiscretion , exile in Siberia or a lifo bontenco in the dungeons is prescribed. If the olTcnso is positive the offender goes to the island , into the garrison , nnd is soon beyond the call of mortal subjects. His remains aie thrown into the stink pit. Forty-two miles up the river Nova from St. Petersburg is a fortress where enough blood has boon shod , in expira tion of alleged crimes against the empire - piro , to float a British man-of-war. It is a long , quaint old structure , maao of btono , and the Neva , though a narrow river , broadens just enough at that point to give it complete protection against land approach. It should oc cupy a place in the background of Dante's Inferno. On the parapets or walls overlooking the water are always a number of sentinels , who are in structed to shoot down without cere mony any person who attempts to land. Only officers with fresh victims are per mitted to approach the fortress , and many are the stories about innocent strangers , fishing or rowing , who have bcon murdered in their efforts to visit the place. Hero these who nro condemned to death or lifo sentence are brought , and it is believed that the infernal tortures of the inquisition are now in perpetual practice within these walls. At differ ent periods members of the royal family like the son of Peter the Great have been cast into this dungeon to dieunder suspicion of disloyalty to the Czar. In natural location it reminds ono of Black- well's island , near Now York , but the latter prison is A PALACE IK COMPARISON. Not only does the emperor and censor punish persons who speak or write against the royal family , but friends of the family. Wlion Katkoff , the editor of the Moscow Gnzotto , died a few weeks ago , the foreign press commented copi ously upon the influence ho wielded in the i-ulo of Russia. The English press did not o/orlook the fact that Katkoff hud not wielded his power with the Cur in relieving Russia other bunions. Ktitkoff was the most influential man in the empire , and not only wcro all the articles in foreign newspapers and mag- uzinfis on the death destroyed , but in a number ot instances the publications wore blacklisted. Thoeonporof thoprohs.whon ho wishes to simply destroy a certain article in a newspaper or magazine , generally rolls a roller of black ink ever it , leaving a dotiHo spot , through which not a word can bo discerned. The instrument is like the ink-roller of a printing press. If the article in a mngnzino covers moro than a page the pages are simply toin out and east into the waste basket. The ollico of the censor of the press in a city like St. Petersburg is something like that of the city editor for a largo American newspaper. The corps of assistants open the mails , run through tbo matter and hand the questionable stuff to the censor , who decides if it should bo detained , de stroyed or passed. This pro cess makes the delivery ef all mall matters except letters very slow. The newspapers in Russia are of very little importance on account of the censorship. Kvory article , even to a local paragraph , dicussing Russian affairs or referring directly or remotely to the emperor or his family , the army , navy or any of ficial , although it may simply say that bo-nnd-so is going to Buch and such plaeos ou a visltj must bo referred to the censor. Editors tell mo that their articles are long DKDAYJ5D 11V THK CKKSOlt. oven though ho pusses favorably upon them , that it is not worth while to at tempt to use political matter or nowa relating to any ono or anything con nected with the ompiro. It is not in frequent that articles are referred to the czar , and the author is summoned to appear before hla excellency and ex plain the object of publication. Thus the restraint of writers cannot be ap preciated by , awy except those who Jiiivo had the experience. There U a lower gradeof intelligence In the common people , iu 'Russia than was over found among the blacks of America during slavery. The Amorii lean negro had , from ho very begin ning , "horse sense , " a cunning which gave him reason. There is nothing in the minds of the mass of Russians ox- cop t that which is carried bv the senses of sight and hearing. They do not reason. In St. Petersburg there are thousands of dnwky ( carriage ) drivers , and I am told that not ono in twenty can read the signs along the streets , nnd not two in flvo hundred can rend a book or newspaper. And yet these men have had , for Russia , extraordinary op- iwrtunitles. What , then , must bo the condition of the people in the coun try those who have not had contact with the world ? The proportion of thcso Ignorant people plo to the intelligent and educated is about GO per cent. Of the 100,000,000 population in Russia about 60,000.000 wore cither among the serfs freed by Alexander II. a quarter of a century ago or are the offspring of thono white slaves. They do not know what a school is and have bcon taught more abject manners than our black folks. I have never encountered so much obse quiousness any where. Not only do the working people perpetrate upon the visitor all sorts of salaams , but mer chants and people in the upper classes have the infection and bow and blink till a white freeman must blush. It is no wonder that the serfs have not improved ; they have not the power to lift themselves up , but there is no excuse for the super stitions and ignorance among the people plo in commerce , etc. Although the proclamation of the lately assassinated czar , the father of the present czar , freed the slaves , it gave them nothing more than liberty , Up to that time the peasants wore not allowed to leave the farms , which wore owned by the no bility. They wore slaves in this bonso , having located on farms they must al ways bo farmers. That was a law es tablished for the landlords as long ago as history runs in the mind of man hero. The emancipation gave the slaves free dom , but nothing more , nnd in their helplessness they remain where they wore found ; they uro serfs , the peasan try , the class THK I'llKSKNT CZAU is trying to court. But in his en deavors to please the peasantry nnd nobility ho is not.making a glowing suc cess. I expected to find the Russians a fierce looking people. They are the very opposite. Fierceness must bo ac companied by n dcgreo of mental sub stance. The average Russian ono meets on the streets or in the country is of medium size. Ho is of light yellow tan color , from exposure to weather and ex istence upon coarse food. Generally hb wears a full beard , and four times out of flvo it is light in color nnd very filthy , His hair is about two inches tliiek , is cut square around his head , extending about one-third up his neck , as if the work was done with a moat ax or a cir cular saw , and besides being combed down in front is slightly parted in the middle , ns though he were not Hiiro whether he is a male or female. . Ho in variably wears high topped boots , and his pantaloons are tucked into the boot tops. The boot tops have a series of finely artistic wrinklesmtd - wny , and are generally well oiled. This is the only tasteful indication in the dress. The coat of a p oosnnt is a cross between a robe , a frock and a blouse. It comes almost to the knees , is single- breasted , and has a wide belt. If the subject is a driver ho wears a robe and bolt , and the garment is of blue cloth and comes to the ground. The headwear - wear is a broad-topped cap with low crown. The Russian is as filthy as hois ignor ant and unsightly. Only throe or four of the principal hotels have any pre parations for bathing , and these are ex tremely meagre. The Russian bath in Russia is a myth. I paid three roubles for a place to take a very ordinary bath in the principal hotel to-day. Not ono of the palaces in five have baths , and as the waters of the Neva are too cold for swimming baths the people , as a mass , shed their accumulated filth like fish scales. And since dried lish , oil and cured vegetables form the staple diet for the majority o the people , and the Nova , which furnishes the water supply , can bo detected miles distant by the nos trils , it is only the cold atmosphere that prevents long mortuary lists. Later I shall write in oxtenso of the superstitions of Russians , for they are more extensive and ridiculous than those found in any other country. It was probably a wise Htop when the Czar assumed control of the church and es tablished in his cabinet a church minister - tor , for the prating one sees and hears oven now about false prophets would undoubtedly lead the masses to dcsporat things in the name of the church. THK CHUItClI OF IIU6SIA is the Greek Catholic , and bo it said to the credit of Alexander HI. , it is well controlled. But the people are extrem ists , and commit many sins under the shield of the church. My attention was attracted , when I saw a shrine at every forty pacesto the seals on the collection or contribution boxes. None of these can bo opened without breaking a seal. This , I am told , is arranged no as to trace the direction the money takes when deposited in the boxes. So many officers of the church have keys that robberies within the church are com mon. Robbery , however , is very com mon in all Russia. Looking out on a street hero ono sees hundreds and hun dreds of men , women and children walk ing or driving with bared heads and making crosses at every shrine. The drivers are continually at it. Only the wicked gendarme deigns to pass without notice. The stops leading to the hun dreds of churches tire covered with people _ - plo of all grades on their knees , making crosses and bumping their foreheads on the stones or pavements. Fealty to the church and oral demonstration of it booms to bo the principal avocation. The candles at the phrines are kept burning continually , at the expense of the empire , nnd almost every other store or shop has a largo display of glit tering brass and paint in the form of shrines. And yet , amid all this , there is moro crime hero and moro ignorance than in any other civilized country. 1' . S. HEATH. Cnttlo Quarantine Itcmovcd. SAXTA Fn , N. M. , Oct. 2 * .
