The Cars Warming.

A well-informed Russian revolutionist in
this country says that the explosion in the
Cars chamber in st. Petersburg just before
his departure for Moscow did actually occur
as reported, and that the reason the Car
made his toilet at an earlier than his custom
ary hour, and was in another apartment at
the time the Ciockwork had been set for, was
that he received some hours before a warn
ing from messenger of the conservative rev.
olutionists. AT the same time ne was warned
that should he not announce the granting of
a constitution on the day of his coronation,
no further warnings will be given him, and
the protection against the terrorists hitherto
extended to him by the conservative wing
will be Withdrawn from the moment that the
guests of the empire shall have departed, The
mysterious warning closed by reminding the
Car that Alexander II likewise was warned,
but disregarding the warning, protection was
withdrawn from him, and in his fate Alexan-
der III was invited to contemplate his own.

The Changes in Society and Government

What change has come over society since
this Queen was born-aye since she first oc-
cupied the greatest throne on earthi Sixty
four years ago liberty even in England was
very little better than name Men had not
freedom to say the thing they pleased, and
what to-day would be regarded as fosslized
Toryism, too absurd and tyrannical for any
one seriously to uphold or defend, was then
frowned upon as revolution" denounced
as treason and punished with death. The
air was dank and heavy with a timid, un-
reasoning, yet cruel and terrorizing con-
servatism. Its selfish and corrupt oligarchy
struggled to put down and keep down free
thought and free speech. The representative
system in force was fraud and farce. The
law-making class took good care to deal very
gently with themselves. The toiling millions
we're regarded simply as beasts of burden.
The public crib was looked upon as the
legitimate feeding place for all who had influ-
enoe and who dearly loved to have nothing
to do Food of all kinds was as far as re-
strictive and iniquitous laws could accom-
plish 1t, kept at famine prices in order that
farmers might be able to pay high rents and
landowners might revel in abundance and
vice. 1t was no "Merre England" then.

fully back and try to persuade themselves
that IL was. Things, perhaps, were better in
England even then than elsewhere; but bad

will be the first to acknowledge.
AS that child princess grew from year to
year, things got better and better though
not one step was ever gained without strrig-
gle, not one abuse abated or removed without
heaven being called to witness that ruin was
at the door and that Britan's sun had for
the very last time set amid the clouds and
dark ness of destruction and despair Black
wood raved and ranted like scalded fiend,
denouncing with a variety, a copiousness
and an ability of abuse which might even
yet make our excited contemporary along
the way green with envy and blue
with modification, all who dared TO
say that there was any wrong to right or any
reasonable liberty that was not already en-
joyed. The minor shouters followed suit,
and ostracism, both social and commercial,
was the fate Of all who believed not in the
good old way. The world. however, moved,
