KlhUlim It ot lees consequence in Russia
than Fenianlim In England or Socialism
in Germany. I could take yon to Russia
and travel over thousands of m<les of
country and yon might ask of tbe strong
country peasantry, “What Is Nihilism?
Who Is Nihilism? Where b Nihilism!”
and they would tell yon that they
never citne Id contact with It. "Now,”
said my Russian friend, “I will tell you
what Nihilism is. We have In Rotsla a
certain number ol yoaog men who go to
thenDlversUiti to be educated, and they
must pate strict examination at the con*
clus-OD of their studies, and then they are
put Into various divisions of the pnbllo
aervlce, the army, the navy, the civil bu
reins, the church, or what not.
“Yon see that Russia Is not a democra-
ey; It Is a great country in ex ent and pop
ulation, where a limited dess does the
thinking and get tbelr education for the
benefit ot all. A proportion of those
young students, instead of preparing
themMlree at school, taka tbe money
given to them and hare a career of
dissipation, and when they come
for examination they fall to pan.
The government will then not accept
them fit any responsible position, and tbelr
famillrs kick them oat and tell them to
take cere of themselves. 80 they go Into
the citlee where they have been llytog

about for yon that hippy condition of
