The Bulgarian People.

——

(London Telegraph.)

A little nation of peasants organizing themselves to uppose a great prince has been seen before in the history of the world, The Swiss defied and defeated Vharles the Bold; the Tyrolese under Hofer checked Napoleon’s career, and it was the sturdy tillers planted in the soil by tHardenberg and Stein who greatly helped inally to pull him down at Leipsic and Waterloo. ‘Lhe Bulgarians are simple pea- sants of a sturdy stock, and the shrewdness and suppleness they displayed under the i:urk tur years now serves them well in evading another despvtism. It is not, however, only that the peuple are nearly all peasants, humble in their lives and wnorant of luxury. Their present rulers are racy of the soil, and show in their styie vi living a great contrast to the Russian military grandees who about a year age dazziea Sofia with their equipages and ex- penditure. A sense of this difference has aow made itself seen and felt. ‘* They are a people,” writes a correspondent at present travelling through the country, *‘ who live’ shaply and soberly, hate extravagance, and! deo not understand aristocratical distine-! tions. The Russian consul-general, who! careers about Sofia in a brilliant barouche, | with a scarlet kavass on the box, cuts a! much grander figure than the Regent! Stambouloif, who wears a shabby coat and, receives visitors in a sinall bed-room at his; hotel. All Bulgarians come of peasant raiuilies, and do not cease to be rustic after they have received a university education. A grest many members of the Sebranje| wear the national peasant costume, and} carry their dinners in their pockets when! they go toa sitting. They used to shake aands bluiliy with their prince; and a sore- ness has been left on them by the supereili- ousness Of the Russian otlicers, who always snubbed thein for their familiarity.” The spectacle of legislators dining while they discuss, munching victuals out of their pocket in intervals of law-making or debate, is One that will hardly inspire old pariia- ments with anything hke emulation. We have workingmen member and irishmen representing peasants BO poor that they cannot pay their rents ; yet anything like the frugality of the Sobranje is, we apprehend, out of the mnes- tion, We believe that the unwritten law of the house forbids the consuinption of iood within the chamber itse f, and what would happen if the sergeant-at-arms de- tected Mr. Biggar eating a hard-boiled egg in his place in parliament, ‘‘Heaven only xnows,” as a speaker once remarked. The member for Cavan, whe is nothing of an ingenious in pe mg-uthority, might contend that Mr. Gladstone takes eggs; but in that case the nutriment is dissolved and is used as a refreshment by a speaker «c- tually addressing the house. Sandwiches and sherry or other solid food on a_ back bench are not compatible with the British, however they may they suit the Bulgarian constitution. The rise of the Bulgarians as objects of Eurepean political interest is a curious story, and the origin of the people uiay partly account for their characteristics and their success. ‘They were originally a Partar race settled near the Volga, and would be called Volgarians if the initial letters had not got changed by western prenunciation. ‘hey crossed the Danube in the sixth century, and their history has been a battle anda imarch, Their strug- gies with the emperor and with his Ottoman successor fill many a blood-stained page in che horrible annals of the East; no race uas suffered more from the cruelty of con- juerors; none has shown such _ elaesticity and recuperative power. Matthew Arnold represents the successive waves of soldiery iescending upon India: **The East bowed low before the blast. In patient deep dis- dain; she let the legions thunder past, fhen plunged in thought again.”” The Bulgarians, owing perhaps to their Asiatic lescent, have shown corresponding patience, and something of Oriental servility in their demeanor toward their conquerors; but wen the legions ‘‘thuncered past” in their case they turned again, not to metapiy:ivs but to making money at markets and out vf the soil. A certain stulidity and shrewd- ness saved them. They shrugged their} shoulders under the stick, and took otf their caps to the generals or pashas who in turn lorded it over them; but marrying and giving in marriage, they multiplied and throve where Turk or Greek could not get on, and the very increase of their numbers made them a pvilitical force. Ii we go back about fifty years we find Bulgaria and the Bulgarians practically unknown as 1 modern element in the Eastern question. Of course, students of Oriental history know what they had been, but dip'omatists and statesmen clussed Wallachlans, Moldavians, Servians and Bulgarians, in one term--- ‘Greek Christians.” The bond then be- tween Russia and the discontented subject of the Sultan, was one of religion rather than

proved tho best barrier to the Muscovite, and there are statesmen now who dream of a confederation of the Balkans uniting twelve or fifteen millions of freedom in resistence to Russia. But we have to deal with facts. Here is Bulgaria an actual State,inhabited by a people poor but sturdy, cherishing their independence. Thouch only a raw mili‘ia,deserted by their Russian ollicers, they fought well uoder a valiant prince. They have shown resolution, s0- briety and self-restraint, im resisting the ruubles and the rough language of their Russian liberatois. They have remembered the past service of their great patrons while resenting their present manner. This is de- cidedly encouraging to the friends of free institutions all over the world. Humanity vindicat«: itself when peoples rise to the heights of critical occasions. Nothing is so unjust as the arrogance of older nations towards populations kept down by the sword. Before Italy was free we were told that the Italians were fiddlers and singers, fit oniy to be serfs; but they have since diz- played courage, tact, and thrift as a nation; aud their army, their navy, and their fin- ance alike flourish. We were told that the dreamy, unpractical Germans could never unite, but now they are bound. together tirmly under the Emperor they rerere. The negroes in the United States, if liber- ated, would, it was said, never work; yet they produce much more than double the quantity of cotton they grew before eman- cipation. The Christians under the Otte- man were “‘devraded and unnerved;” but

to r> ; : . : > Greek, Roumanian, Servian. and now Bul-

garian have disproved the calumny.

Why should not Bulgaria—if Turk and Czar and Kaiser let it alone—hecome, under Eu:ope’s eyes, a second Switzerland, inimbiied by a poor but independent peo- ple, with rulers living in cheap lodgings and legislators carrying their dinners fin their pockets, like workingmen as they are! ‘The world has plenty of states where princes live in grandeur on taxes wrung from the hard hands of peasants; and we should welcome little states of another type, where frugality character ses alike the ruters and the ru’ed. Bulyaria has not the military advantages of Switzerland ; it does not bristle with mountains, nor have ils people been trained to arms for genera- tions. But when the Swiss crushed Charles the Bold at Morat they were pexsants, not soldiers. The Bulgarians are, no doubt, too patient and too submissive to die in the jast ditch rather than accept foreign rule-- ioo foud, also, of the material prosperity they have built up by toil and thrift. Yet it would be a disgrace to Russia and a European scandal if this young nation were tranped on by Cossacks and simply added to the vast extent of ter- ritory under the iron heel of the Czar. Considering what they have done under great difficulties, there is no re to what heights of national prosperity the Bul- garians may reach if suffered to live ‘a peace. They have survived the swoid of the Turk; they have baffled the intrigues of the Greeks; they have elected their Sobranje in the face of the Czar’s frown. It is not in mortals to command success, bu) they have done more—they deserve it. No doubt they have defects, due mainly to years when the iron of slavery entered iLeir souls. Some of their otticers yielded too readily to Russian cajolery and gold; the abduction of their prince was carriel out with a mixture ef Asiatic cunning and Muscovite brutality. We must not, how- ever, blaine a whoie people for the erimes of 4 few wretches. Alitraveliers from the west who have lived amonzset them have learned vo like them. About forty yoars ago, while still subject ww che Sultan, they were painted in very pleasant tints by Mr. Welsh, one of the few Englishmen who had then traversed the territory. “Of all the peasantry I have ever met with,” he writes, ‘the Bulgarians seem the most simple kind and affeciionate. They are distinguished by their countenance and ¢cemeanor. The first is open, artless, and benevolent, and the second is so kind and cordial that eviry one we meet seemed to welcome us as friends. Wherever their buffalves or arabs stopped up the way they were prompt to turn them aside. Their houses were always open tous. The Bulgarian women nixed freely with us, and treated us with the un- suspecting cordiality they would show to brothers. They are exceedingly industrious, and are never for a moment without the spindle and distaff. Uniess in very. few places they are destitute of churches,schools and bouvks.”” That isthe picture of forty years ago. ‘The people are still the same is heart and manners, but have made cv cry possible kind of progress—political, imoral, socia] and educational. Is this fair pros- pect to be destroyed in order to please the morbid ambition of one grasping man?
