It is impossible to read the news we publish daily from Kussia without a thrill of horror passing through one’s system. It is impossible for the mind to grasp the stories of atrocities which are related in cool print day by day. A large section of the people are simply wild beasts ; the softening influences of religion have been neutralised by familiarity with atrocities, which it has been their lot to witness periodically from their youth upwards. No race has thrown oil' the yoke of tyrants, and all have been under it at some time in their history, without civil war. The oppressed are at last roused to action, and their first instinct is to kill all who belong to the class of their oppressors. The opinion is natural that if they are to secure their liberties they must put their hitherto oppressors out of existence. Unhappy Russia is now passing through the ordeal; for a time the leaders of the people, no matter how willing they may ho to stay bloodshed, will he unable to do so. History leaches that to attempt this will bo considered by an infuriated population as evidence that they are no longer to be trusted. As yet there appears not to he a leader capable of exercising control over more than one section of the population. The members of the Zemstvos are inexperienced in the ways of free government equally as arc tbo people. There can be no question but that the end of the present horrors will bo freedom, but it is hardly to he expected that the people will exercise their right iu a moderate and judicious manner. It is to be feared that for many years to come a state of semianarchy will prevail.

We have been requested to intimate that Mr il. 11, I’oyntor has withdrawn his name as a candidate for a seat on the Wnipa County Council. The many friends of Mr C. M. Linos, now on the Daily News staff, New Plymouth, and who was formerly in the journalistic line in Hamilton, will regret to hear that he has been in tho hospital for some time past, and that bis condition is causing his friends considerable anxiety.

Very little interest was evinced in the poll to borrow £2OOO for tho purpose of additions to tho Hamilton saloyards, held yesterday. The votes recorded in favour of tho proposal were 194, against 90, informal 3. At last tho question which has been agitating the minds of farmers, residents, and councillors for a couple of years, has been finally settled, and it is just about time. The examinaton of the Marshmeadows school resulted most satisfactorily. Mr Barber and Miss Roche are to be congratulated on tbo success which has attended their efforts. Mr Crowe, the inspector, spoke most highly of tho school. Many of the children who attend this school travel by rail from the Matangi and Mautapu districts.

This evening the public of Hamilton will have an opportunity of attending one of tho best musical entertainments ever provided in Hamilton. The very cream from several of tho best and most popular operas will be tendered, and Miss Madoline Knight (Auckland’s best mezzo-soprano), Mr Clegg (the best tenor), Mr Wilfred Manning (the leading baritone), and Mr Warren (the premier comicartist) willtakepart. They will be assisted by Miss Miller and Mr McKinnon, both of whom are most popular in musical circles. We hope that tho visiting contingent will receive the reception they deserve. Those who have met Mr G. P. Furby, postmaster at Hamilton, either socially or officially, will regret exceedingly to hear that he has received news of his transfer to Onehunga. During the years Mr Furby has been in Hamilton he has, by his obliging and courteous manner and impartiality, made a large circle of friends, who will be glad to hear that from a financial standpoint the change will be an advantageous one. Mr Furby will be succeeded by Mr Long, who was formerly in charge of tho Hamilton staff', and is at present stationed at Onehunga, who has been compelled to apply for an inland station owing to the indifferent health of his wife. It is expected that the change will take place at tho end of tho month.

Tho visiting judges for the Waikato Show were yesterday driven out in company with the President (Mr Jno. Gordon) to view the Kuakura Farm and thence round other portions of tho district. They expressed themselves highly pleased at the condition of the State Farm and the country generally, and thoroughly enjoyed the drive. This evening they will bo the guests of the Hamilton Comedy Company at the operatic concert to bo held in the Hamilton Town Hall, and to-morrow evening an invitation has been extended to them to witness the production of “ Dandy Dick.” Tho final rehearsal of the piece was hold last night, when everything wont smoothly, and it is expected that the performance will bo a highly successful ono.

Neill at Waitoa, whan, in addition to the dairy stock, horses, farm implements, etc,, they will offer a neat farm of 150 acres rich land, subdivided into convenient paddocks, with cottage, dairy shed, etc. On Tuesday, 14th inst., at Ohaupo, the firm will yard 800 head of cattle, amongst them a good number of 3-year-old steers and 30 well-bred Shorthorn bulls from local breeders.

At the conclusion of the Hamilton Orchestral Union’s practice last night Mr A. E. Savage, their popular conductor, was presented by the secretary of the union (Mr T. Jolly), on behalf of the members, with a bandsome smoker’s companion and beautifully chased silver match-box. Mr Jolly, in an appropriate speech, regretted that Mr Savage had finally decided to leave Hamilton, and hoped that ho would prosper in his new sphere of life. He also remarked that his departure would bo felt most severely by the orchestra, as he attributed their present high state of efficiency to Mr Savage’s unremitting attention and musical skill. Mr Savage, who was evidently taken by surprise, in accepting the souvenir, expressed himself as greatly pleased at tbo kindness of tbo members. He felt that this expression of esteem was totally uncalled for, as his connection with the orchestra had been a source of pleasure to himself, and he was gratified to think that he had been the means of giving pleasure to others. Tho orchestra will in all probability be playing for the last time under Mr Savage’s baton at the operatic concert to-night, and at the “ Dandy Dick” dramatic performance to-morrow night. UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.
