When Russia has succeeded in bringing Tar.

When Russia has succeeded in bringing Tur-
key to a sense of the crueltieS practiSed upon
the BulgariaHS and other subjects, it will be
in order for her to pay a little attention to the
beam in her own eye, IL is stated that nearly
200 persons, who were accused of sympathz-
ing with revolutionary movements in Russia,
and imprisoned four years ago, have been
waiting all these weary months for chance
TO be heard in court. In the interval some of
them have died, others have contracted chronic
diseases, and several of them have become in
sane The whole number of arrests amounted
to nearly a thousand: but large number
were liberated after short terms of mpriSOn-
ment. 4 young girl was arrested because she
had learned some facts from a letter of a GER
tain DebOgOTy. A man of that name was
among the accused, and the authorities at
once leaped to the conclusion that the young
person in question had been in correspondence
with members of the supposed secret society
When she had been in prison for two or three
years it was accidentally discovered that the
writer OF the letter was not the DebOgOry who
had been arrested, but newspaper CORES
pendent OF the same name, and that the letter
had appeared in one of the daily papers A
young doctor, who had been compromised
four years ago but had been allowed to re-
main at liberty on condition of appearing
when summoned, was recalled from the army
and placed in the deck. A young girl was ar
rested some years ago and was likewise libe-
rated on bail. When she had probably forgot
ten all about having read revolutionary
pamphlets and talked SediiOn, if she was ever
guilty of such things, and when she was
already married woman with two young
Children. she was again arrested and placed
among the accused.

Bismarck wishes to be relieved of some of
the burdens of state, without any serious
diminutiOn of the extent of his controlling
power as chancellor. The direct management
Of the entire German administration proves
too great strain on his physical and mental
powers. After his tTiumphs as diplOmatist
and statesman, he feels that he has earned
the right to a relaxation of cares without a
decrease of dignitieS. In order to effect this,
it is likely that the Federal Council will allow
him to sign bills, etc, through deputy min
lister, even though it shall require two-thirds
vote as change in the constitution, and this
PERM SsiOn will pave the way for the appoint
ment of German ministers

A petition in behalf of District suffrage has
been printed 1t declaimS at immense length
upon the immutable rights of man as "enun-
ciated in the Declaration of Independence
and guaranteed in the Federal Constitution -
and in conclusion demands in swelling but Dor
rowed rhetoric that Congress shall give us a
government of the people, for the people, and
by the people" This is very fine in the alb
Stract, but what has it to do with the District
of Columbia, where, by the express terms of
the Constitution referred to, Congress shall
exercise exclusive legislation in all cases
Whatsoever? If this spread-eagle petition
writer wants TO reach anything practical he
should ask for an amendment to the COnstitrl-
ton taking from Congress this exclusive iuris-
dictiOn over the District. Until that is done
the people of the District can have no repre-
sentative government, and the exercise of
suffrage here must be practically nullity.
