ADVOCATING RULERS.

In view of the persistent rumor that
the Russian car intends to abdicate It is
interesting to know that while czars
have been murdered and otherwise put
out of the way none has ever abdicated.
TIE Grand Duke Constantine, next broth
eT ard heir to Alexander l., gave up his
rights to the throne in consequence of
his marriage to woman not of royal
rank, and his younger brother. Nicho-
las l., succeeded, but this is not abdica-
ton.
The whole of the voluntary publications
in modern history might almost be count
ed on the fingers of one hand English
rational records afford no instance of an
abdication, though nlonarchs have been
deposed. The nearest approach to an
ebdication in English history was Rich
ard CromwelTs resignation OF the pro-
tectorship. In France there never was
a voluntary abdication. Napoleon T.
under the pressure of foreign invasion.
Charles " and Louis Philippe did the
sane thing in 1880 and 1885, respectively,
under pressure Of revolution. All these
four abdications were made In favor Of
the heirs; but all were rejected. and all
the would-be Indicators had TO leave the
country.
No king OF Prussia has ever abdicated,
and the same has already been stated
of the rulers OF Russia. The first and
almost the only really voluntary abdica-
ton in modern history was that OF En-
peror Charles V, king of Spain, the
Netherlands, etc, in 1868, when he was
fifty-five years old. In his case ill-health
was predisposing cause, and he sur
vivcd his abdication only three years.
