cal exiles have made Siberia what it is, for they have been among
the most educated and energetic classes in Russia; but the crim-
inal exiles are a fatal bar to further progress. Siberia will there-
fore eagerly welcome the good news that the commission ap-
pointed by the Tsar to consider the whole question of criminal
transportation has just reported against the Siberian system, and
recommended the construction of great convict prisons in Russia.
The cost of these to the State will be enormously greater than
that of criminal Siberia, and assuredly the lot of the convict will
henceforth be harder, but the decision was inevitable if one of
the richest parts of the Tsar's dominions is to attain its proper
prosperity.
