The Russian agents trying 20 control Bulgarian
affairs tell the people that tnere is no compatibility
between these two affections The people must
choose between the voluntary sacrihce OF ther
Constitution and their right OF choice IN regard to
a Prince or having the sacrifice forced upon them
by the means that tine Russians may see ht TO use.
At the same time the people have been taught to
regard the Car rs their hberator and as soicitons
for the pressrv alton Of their liberties, and 1t is
pathetic to how they imagine that these strange
Russian agens dealing with them roughly
are acting without tine knowledge of the Car and
that they can get relief from such demands to
sacrifice their rights by sending petitions TO the
Gar in person. But there is no hope since
Germany and Austria seem 10 be willing to allow
the Russians all liberty IN the premises. Every
day that the resistance to fate is prolonged is
making more of ruin of the finances of the Prnc'-
pality and the people will soon be feeling that
anything is preferable TO the suspense OF an
unsettlegd order of public affairs. 30 the Russian
interference Is tending to rIaKe tragedy out OF
