THE NEW CAR.

Expectations that the accession of the
new Gar will be followed by radical
changes one way or the other in the Gov
eminent Of Russia are likely to be dis
appointed. Nominally all-powcrful, the
Gar of Russia is really one of the weak
est of potentates. He has nothing like as
much actual power as the President of
free Republic, or the Prime Minister of
such country as England. The reason
is that, like all the so-called "absolute
monarchs, be is merely the fgurehead
and creature of well-knit cabai which
surrounds the throne. This cabal, made
up of powerful families and high officials,
dictates the policy of the country, and
controls matters down to the smallest
detail. The Gar can only carry out its
wishes. He may, it is true, help over
throw one ring of his masters, but it is
only by the assistance of another, which
will exercise the same authority over
him. Then there is always the risk that
the cabal which is in will resist being
turned out-by assassination, if no other
means will serve. Several of the Cars
have been assassinated, and others have
been turned from their purposes by fears
of it. 1t is the same way with the Sui
tans Of Turkey, the Emperors of China,
and in fact of all the absolute rulers
of countries which have not yet advanced
far enough to have the modern repre-
sentative Governments. The real rulers
of the country are powerful combina-
tons of the aristocratic classes, who run
the Government for what there is in it
for themselves and their adherents.
No matter how progressive and mas
terful a Gar may be, he would not be able
to carry out any very radical reforms in
face of the solid opposition of the whole
office-holding class. He would not have
behind him the support that leader
who attempts reforms in free Govern
ment can count upon, because those who
really desire reforms, and those who
would be benefited by them, are not
educated up to the point of making their
support effective.
1t looks as if no radical and thorough
reform could come in Russia for many
years yet, until the mass Of the people
are much better educated, and there is
strong, aggressive, cohesive party
formed of the middle classes-the mer-
chants, manufacturers, professional men,
considerable farmers, etc.-which will
emphatically demand reforms, and have
the power to properly support the Car,
or some Minister who attempts them.
This is the way reforms have been Sc

THE farce of Mr.. L. P. Morton's
coachman has ended, as every man of
sense knew it could not help doing, by
the discharge Of the arrest. Secretary
Carlisle gravely announces that, as the
courts have decided that I" coachmen are
domestic servants within the meaning of
the law" he cannot be held. IF pri-
vate coachman is not "domestic serv-
ant" what in the world is he? A public
official or Tammany Sachem?

LISTEN TO THE BUGLE CALL.

COMRADES: In rallying for the great
battle for your rights do not forget
your misunderstanding NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. Most necessary to your bat
tie is it that it should be made as strong
as possible for the great contest this
Winter.
We are going to have a harder fight
during the next session of Congress than
ever Our enemies in Congress are far
from being satisfied with the injury they
have already done us, but contemplate
still another raid.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the main
friend and champion the comrades have
here at the National Capital and in the
whole country. It will make a stub
born fight to save the veterans from the
wicked robbery contemplated. 1t can
do more than any other paper or agency
can.
Therefore, it is to your interest to
build up the paper to the utmost, and
make it as strong as possible in every
community. The more subscribers it
has behind it, the stronger battle it can
make for you and all comrades. There
fore, see that your name is on its lists,
and that as many as possible of your &C
quaintances subscribe for it. If not
already subscriber send in your name
at once, and get at least one more. Get
up a club if possible. We want every
veteran to rally around our flag for one
more effort. We all have to fight now,
and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will lead
Let it head a column of at least 250, 900
subscribers. Then all the power of the
Solid South cannot prevail against it.
Help us now, and by SO doing help
yourselves most effectively.

THE ELECTIONS.

As in order to reach its subscribers in
every part of the country before Satur-
day THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE must go
to press Tuesday afternoon, we are
unable to give any details Of the great
battle now being fought out at the polls.
Our readers will therefore kindly wait
until next week for our comments upon
the event.

cured in other countries. In England
the middle classes and the Church were
at first allied together to crush the arts
tocracy. Then the business men and
the farmers turned upon the Church and
reformed it. In France the aristocracy
and the Church formed a close alliance,
and both went down in blood before the
middle class-the boatrgeoisie-in the
Great Revolution. 1t may be that moth
ing but a simulacrum of the French
Revolution will bring about the neces-
sary changes in Russia.

THE BArTLEFIELD OF CuICKAMAUGA.


One of the editorial staff of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has gone to Chatta-
nooga with the members of the Chicka-
manga Park Commission to make care
full inspection of the progress of the
great work of converting the scene of
the greatest battle of the war into great
historical exhibition place. He will
give a full and careful description of
what has already been done, and what
it is proposed to do. This will be fully
illustrated by maps and pictures, and
will be of the deepest interest to all who
fought at Chickamauga or in the subse-
quent battles at Lookout Mountain and
Mission Ridge. 1t will be the most
complete and accurate account yet pub
lished of this great work.

TAMMANY's idea of what constitutes

TAMMANY's idea of what constitutes
a gentleman seems to be as markedly a
misit as its ideas on Tariff Reform and
American citizenship. That bright and
shining light of the Great Wigwam,
Commissioner Sheehan, who, by the way,
is brother of the Lieutenant Governor
of New York, testified emphatically be-
fore the Lexow Committee that g. all the
members of the Pequod Club are gem
tlemen." An inspection of the list of
membership shows that a majority of
them are keepers of dives varying only
in their degrees Of disreputableness.
The occupations of the remainder are
probably even less fit for public inspec-
ton.

Let US govern America for Americans,
and not for the interest Of any foreign
countries. They are doing wisely in
taking care of the interests of their own
people. 1t is the part of good sense
and patriotism to do the same for our
selves and our own people.

keep them there, and manage this coun-

Gov. ALTGELD certainly has the
courage of his convictions. That cannot
be denied him. He is at heart firmly of
the belief that all laws are tyranny, and
intended for oppression of men who are
too lazy and selfish to earn what they
want, and take it from those who do.
His most recent pardon was that of a
particularly wicked and brutal train
robber and murderer, whom - of his
fellow-citizens, concurring with the
Judge, had decided ought to be per-
manently shut up in the penitentiary, in
order to protect the community from his
depredations. A few more Altgelds and
society would 60 back to the condition
of centuries ago, when every man took
the law in his own hands, and killed the
men who had done harm or were likely
to do harm to himself or property.
This last condition of the Anarchists
would be worse than the present, for
people would then simply shoot them
down, without taking any trouble with
courts, judges, juries, etc. Queer, that
the Anarchists never think what would
be their situation if they could bring
about the abolition of law which they
are constantly railing against.

This is matter of the highest i'm.
portance, and should appeal to every
comrade. Very little can be accom-
plished in this country without organi.
zation, and the larger the country be-
comes the greater the necessity for
organization. There is vital need fol-
such an organization as the Sons of Vet.
Grams. The country needs it impera-
lively. In these days of hysterical
shrieking by halfideaed demagogs, Of
wild impracticals appealing for an over.
turning of laws and institutions, and Of
great masses of the vicious and ignorant
listening only too readily to the mad
folly of Socialism and Anarchy, it is
essential that the country should feel
that it has somewhere a secure bulwark
against these malevolents.
The Sons of Veterans are the proper
| men to constitute such q bulwark.

Comrades, think over these facts, and
do all in your power to encourage and
build up the Sons of Veterans.

FIGHT WITH THIEVES.
Iowa Marshal Killed and Two Others
Seriously Wounded.

OMAHA, Neb., April 2s-In a fight with
thieves at Missouri Valley, Ia, to-day,
the city marshal killed and two other
people were seriously wounded. For some
time burglaries and petty thieving have
kept the people there in a constant state
of terror. The perpetrators were tramps.
but all attempts to arrest them had proven
fruitless. This morning they city marshal
notified that gang of thieves was
concealed in a barn on the edge of town.
The officer swore in several deputies and
proceeded to the barn with the intention
of capturing the gang and its plunder The
posse surrounded the structure and de-
manded that the occupants surrender. In
stead Of doing so. however, the thieves
opened fire on the officers. One of the
bullets pierced the breast OF the city mar
shall. Adna Whitney, killing him instantly.
Peter Johnson, one of the thieves, was shot
four times, once in each thigh, once in the
shoulder, and once through the lungs He
will die. Deputy j. H. Lyon also received
a flesh wound. Thirty or forty shots were
fired and then the men broke for liberty.
William Henderson, resident of Missouri
Valley, at whose place the men were stay-
ing, was believed to the a party to the
crimes committed, and he and his wife were
arrested. There is talk OF lynching Blood
hounds have been asked for TO put on the
trail OF the men who escaped.
