,,,,,,,. Nm. rs aud n Tourteenth Street


rbs osble last night brought lhe new
,ha o.s,ssination OF the Russian Czar
" ,IeranJer H., Emperor and Autocrat o
all the Russias.
'', This ruler had lived for more than three
.,o,s wears, and had seen many mutations
~ ,ha Governments OF Europe. Yet the
Tmnire r. ruled by his grandfather at hii
r,,b and afterwards by his father and
s,mself. has remained the same, with the
a,csntjon of enIarging its territory,
'S,onob that long lease of life. Alexander
,bs son Of Nicholas, was born at st.
ps,srburV in 1918, and assembled the
,n,ono at the death OF his father In
AK At that time the Empire was In
,bo midst Of the OrimeGn war, and Alex
,nder an issued a proclamation promising TO
nn,sne the course inauguratsd by his
,,,ber and to bring the war to q speedy
and .uccesslul close. In this he was, how
asa, disappointed, for he had been on the
,b,one but a few months when his allied
I,s. obtained possession oil ssbSstopol, and
bowss forced to accept peace on their
terms
The most notable, as well as the most
o,aJitabls, feature Of his reign, was his
emancipation Of the .seris, by proclama'
,ioo Issued in 1861. In this the most will
nj tespot Of the age set an example that
WAS later followed by America, which had
been named the land Of the free, and this
b,s has been Justly considered the grand
distinguishing act Of his reign.
In the same year. he wrote to the United
States Government letter expressive oil
Oiswarm sympathy for the defenders Of
tbe Union against the Southern rebellion,
an oc. which has always endeared him, In
sDite Of the many inconsistent features Of
bIs official lie, to the people Of this coun'
try and cementGd friendship between
,6e two peoples having the most opposite
ys,ems Of government on the face Of the
Globe, which the viCissitudes Of time have
NOT severed, and which yesterday found
voice in Secretary Blaine's cable message
Of sympathy for the Russian people and
the amiy Of the murdered Gar.
The. history Of the persistent and horri'
be attempts Of the NihiliSts to rid them
selves OF an Emperor whose rigid rule
slye some color Of Justice to their deeds,
are such recent Impressions upon the
memories Of our readers as to need no re-
view now. Scarcely week has passed In
the last two years, until within the month
or two just ended, that some foe has not
made vain attempt upon the life Of the
Gar. And 1t seems that the recent peace
was but the calm before the storm.
LISA question whether his death will
rauSe much sincere sorrow in Russia. His
recent alliance, so close upon the death Of
hs vile, with former mistress, has es.
trauged from him his own offspring, and
one who rules, as he did, with a rod Of
'on can look for little love outside the
circle Of his own family. He had recently
shown the inGtmltles OF age to a pitiIu!
extent, and the assassins who threw the
bombs under His carriage yesterday have
probably done their country q real ser.
yce-a service, though, which Is pur.
chased at a trightiul cost.
