''Fixed it better than any carpenter

An Unimproved Opportunity.
Commissioner for Idaho

The Gar has let pass unimproved a
grand opportunity to render his name
illnstrious. By granting to Russia
constitution and representative as
sembly he would have marked the cor
onation festival with an act worthy Of
the magnificent occasion. And he
would simply have pcen carrying out
the policy which his father had fully
decided upon; for it is known that
Count Melikoff, the former liberal die
tator, had prepared scheme of rep
resentative government, with the APP
prevail of his master, but, only four
days before the time appointed by
Alexander the H. for the signature OF
the constitutions, which would have
given joy to all Russians, the NihiIists
assassined the Gar. Alexander the III
refused to sign the constitution. II
seems he fell into the hands of an auto
cratic triumvirate--M Kaltkof, editor
of the Moscow Gazette; NJ. Pabedon
ostzey, Procurer of the Holy Synod
and Count Tolstoy, the de facto Min
lister of the Interior-and there he has
remained, a willing captive. The Cor
onation having passed without an,
promise of representative system, i
is safe to say the hopes of Count Mel
koff and all other liberal minded Rus
slams have taken flight.
