A NEW MANIFESTO IN RUSSIA.
Il Is n Plain and ForcibIe Letter 10
the Czar.

Il Is n Plain and FOrcibIe Letter to
the Czar.
London Feb. lS.-The Daily Chronicle
will print tomorrow a column-long mani
festo issued by the Peoples Rights party
in Russia, and now circulating through
out the empire. The manifesto is in the
form of a letter to the czar, and is re-
markable for plain and forclble language
After censuring him for his recent asser-
tion of his absolutism. the letter says:
THE most advanced zemstovs asked only
for the harmony of the czar and people,
free speech and the supremacy Of law
over the Rrbitrarlness Of the executive.
You were deceived and frightened by the
representations of courtiers and bureau
Gratis, Society win understand perfectly
that 1t was the bureaucracy, which jeai-
ously guards its own omnipotence that
spoke through you. The bureaucracy be-
ginning with the council of ministers anG
ending with the lower country constable,
hates any development, social or indi-
vidual, and prevents the monarchs free
intercourse with representatives Of mis-
people, except as they come in gala dress
presenting congratulations, icons and Ol
ferings.
Your speech proved that any attempt
to speak out before the throne.F even in
the most loyal form, about the crying
needs of the country meets only a rough
and abrupt rebuff. Society expected from
you encouragement and help but heard
only a reminder of your omnipotence, Civ
ing the impression of utter estrangement
Of the car from the people. You your
self have killed your own popularity and
have alienated all that part of society
which is peacefully struggling forward
Some individuals are jubilant over your
speech, but you will soon discover their
impotence. In another section of society
your speech caused feeling of injury
and depression. which, however, the best
social forces soon win overcome, before
proceeding to the peaceful but obstinate
and deliberate struggle necessary TO lib
erty. In another section your words will
stimulate the readiness to struggle the
present hateful state of things with any
means. You were the first to begin the
struggle. Ere long 1t will proceed"
