On Ogareff's arrival in the camp they
had demanded to be conducted to his
presence. The soldiers had refused. In
consequence. a struggle, an attempt ut
fight, shots fired which happily missed
the two correspondents, but their exc
cution would not have been long de-
layed If 1t had not been for the inter
yention Of tue emlr's lieutenant.
The latter observed the prisoners FOR
some moments, they being absolutely
unknown to him. They had been pres
ent at the scene in the posthouse at
Ichim In which Michael Strogof had
been struck by Ogareff. but the brutal
traveller paid no attention to the per-
sons then collected In the common
room.
Blount and Jolivet, on the contrary
recognized him at once. and the latter
said In a low voice: Hello! 1t seems
that Colonel Ogareff and the rude per-
sonage of Ichim are one!
Then he added in his companions
ear:
explain our affair. Blount You will
do me q service. This Russian colonel
in the midst of Tartar camp dlsgusts
me, and although. thanks to him, my
head is still on my shoulders, my eyes
would exhibit my feelings were l to
attempt to look him in the face"
So saying. Alclde Jolivet assumed 8
look Of complete and naughty indifer'
ence.
Whether or not Ivan Ogareff 2erceiv'
ed that the prisoners attitude was In
sulting toward him, he did not let l,

THE HEBREW COMMONWEALTH AS A
MODEL FOR THE AMERICAN SYSTEM.

THE ORIGIN OF REPUBLICAN FORM OF
GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA. BY Oscar S. straus With an
Introductory Essay by NJ. Emile &c lavaleye
nams Sons.
Mr.. Strauss little study of the causes that led
10 the adoption of a republican form Of govern
ment by the United States was first published
sixteen years ago. A second edition is is
sued. containing a number of changes though
the tenor of Mr.. Strauss views is not altered
in any important point. Some new material has
been incorporated into the text. the form of the
concluding pages has been reconstructed. and
an Introductory essay, written for the French
edition OF the book by the late Emile de La
valeye, is prefixed n the work. In its present
form IL viii be found even more useful and sug-
gestive than in the first Nr. Strauss purpose
is to show that ecclesiastical causes were among
the most potent influences that led TO the adcp-
ton Of the republican form Of government in the
New World: that they operated continually
from the very time when the Pilgrims first
landed at Plymouth. The controlling influence
Of the Old Testament on the religious and po-
Ntical thoughts Of the colonists is taken by Mr.
straus 10 show that the Hebrew commonwealth
was the model rom which finally grew the
present system:
In the spirit and essence Of our constitution

authority fer the principle Rebellion 10 tyrants
is obedience to God but also because il was
in itself 2 divine precedent for pure denoc-
racy, as distinguished from monarchy. arls-
roclacy, or any other form Of government. BY
that means and TO that extent II had q decisive
influence in guiding the American people i'm the
selection OF ther form of government.
He has made careful examination Of the po-
Mtical and religious elements that co-oEerat ted
In the establishment Of the colonial forms of
government, finding in Roger williams the
founder Of Rhode Island, the earliest champion
of religious freedom. To him rightly belongs the
immortal fame says Mr. Straus, Of having been
the first person in modern times 10 assert and
maintain IN its fullest plenitude the absolute
right Of every man 10 full liberty in religious
oonceTnments," and TO found a State wherein
that doctrine was the keystone of its organic
laws. In all the colonial commemorative for
more than century and a half the Puritan
ministers never tired Of dwelling on the trials
suherings and fortitude of the children of Israel
until the organization Of popular government
on the banks Of The Jordan. And in the halls
OF legislation, during the formative period the
history Of the Hebrew commonwealth was re-
peatedly narrated ard rehearsed and analoeles
were drawn therefrom by the advocates OF a re-
publican form Of government in answer 10 those
who favored monarchy Thus in Mr. Strauss
view. the people. especially those OF New-Fnc-
land. were prepared for and made to long for
that form which had the divine sanction.
