Russia lost no time In denying the
sensational story of NJ. de BlowitZ in
the London Times to the effect that the
Car is about to abdicate his throne.
1t is safe to conclude that the sum total
of truth in the rumor amounts to moth
ing more than some respondent eXcla-
nation on the part of the autocrat of
all the RusSias. Nicholas ii. is natural
~ of mclancholic disposition and it
would not be strange If recent events
made him more sonbcr than usual.
His scheme for the disarmament of
Europe has failed. His hopes of an
heir have again been frustrated by the
birth of a third daughter. His brother
next in succession, has died. Famine
is harassing certain parts of his en-
pire and there Is unrest in Finland be-
cause of his recent austere edicts af
fecting that province. The weight Of
his colossal Asiatic projects presses
upon him and there is n constant dan
ger of an armed clash with Great Brit
ain in China. Most intolerable of all
are the inevitable intrigues at st. Pc
tersburg and the constant influences
that tend to thwart his sovereign will
in the absence of n direct heir within
his own family. These cares of empire,
along with the thousand petty annoy
ances of every day life. might easily
move a somber-minded sovereign to eX-
claim that the crown was not worth the
trouble, that he was weary of the task
that no woul1 rnthpr he n ppaSopt ar
something of the sort. But there is q
vast difference between saying and do
ing in such cases. People who wish
themselves dead are not wont to put
their wishes into execution. or to thank
anybody for helping them to attain
their desire. The burden of empire,
like the burden of life, is not easy to
lay down. The fact is that both bur-
dens have allurements which every
sane mind recognizes instinctively even
in the darkest hour. There is some
thing about power that faScinates the
human soul, and, though uneasy lies
the head that wears crown history
shows but few examples of Kings who
have secured ease and safety by abd-
cation. Jeffersons remark of Ameii-
can otficeholders that "few die and
none resign" is bit of philosophy that
applies to the whole human race. 1t
will require something much more au-
petings of NJ. de Blowitz to convince
anybody that Car Nicholas has any
serious thought Of retiring to farm.

The announcement that William
Waldorf Aston has "sworn true allie
glance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria
has been so long predicted that it Will
cause no surprise and little regret. In
asmuch as Mr.. Astor has decided to
spend his life in England it Is not I'M
becoming that he shall show his neigh
bors the courtesy Of remaining their
fellow citizen in law as we'll as in fact.
The naturalization of Englishmen in
America is so common as not to excite
comment, although the case of Mr..
Astor has never been equaled, 50 far
as we know, by any foreigner In this
country Hence we cannot admit
parallel beyond o certain degree. The
naturaliZed foreigner makes his mon
ey in this country; he takes out his nat
hraliZation papers partly to facilitate
his business schemes and partly be-
cause it is no more than courteous
right so to do. Mr.. Aston, on the con-
trary, derives almost his entire income
from America, ana spends his income
in England and on the continent-his
undoubted right in truth, but a pro-
ceeding not wholly devoid of moral OBJ
legation. 1t may be presumed that in
recognition of certain business facts
Mr.. Astor will not wholly overlook his
Indebtedness to the country through
which he obtained his fortune. He
may deprive US of the pleasures of his
society. He may refuse to admit that
our manners and customs are con
genial and that we are worth the pen
atty Of residence. But we fancy that
an irrepr6ssible sense of gratitude will
impel him to remember that on these
shores his worthy grandfather laid the
| foundation of fortune. and from this
| civilization, however painful AMI I'M
couth, he is drawing princely income
