This Lithuanian revolt Is quite stinct
from the Polish autonomy movement, al
though there IS close relation between the
people of the two subdivisions OF the Rus

ton of the ancient kingdom of Poland.

Russia In Collapse.
7om the New York Tribune.


The Russian empire today appears to be
in a state OF collapse. Throughout the
whole vast realm. from the Baltic sea to
the Sea Of Okhotsk, from the Euxine to
the Arctic, the political machine has broken
down and the social and Industrial fabric
has fallen or L. falling into ruin. Not for
more than a century has the world seen so
appalling a spectacle. not since the Chm
merriam world-wreckage" of the French
revolution. There may be those who will
apply that graphic phrase to the darkness
and ruin which now prevail In Russia, see-
ing that the land OF the Cimmerii was in
that empire; and. indeed, 1t seems as fit
ting for such application as for the case
of France. since IL Russia has not proper
tionately the culture which France then
population to be involved, 1t has already
developed savage passions not surpassed
In the reign OF terror. and It's government
as was that Of Louis 81 the death. Of Mira

Helping Congress With suggestions.

The Charleston fS. c. Post submits the
| following plan of battle:
eNow. why shouldn't the democrats do
some bargaining on their side? Why should
they not insist upon stand-up fight upon
I the tariff as the price of their support of
the railway bill? They are In a poor mi
| nortty in Congress, and a minority can never
Go much In that body, but they could make
very thorny path for the republicans and
give the President q good deal to chafe over
II they would get together in solid mass
to push the tarin question to the 'front.'
alongside of the rate measure, making the
two issues to go together. The railroad in
terests would help them hold back the rate
regulation measure and they might be able
to overtake 1t before the session Is over with
the tariff issue. and there would be a situa-
ton for gods and men. for Roosevelt and
the Congress"
This probably was written before the VIII
fams-Lamar eruption. AS the sentinel on
the watch tower at Charleston saw things.
the minority in the House represented one
hundred and thirty-four souls with but
! single thought, and one hundred and thirty
four hearts beating as one. Alas. for ap-
pearances! The first crack out of the box,
as the sporting phrase has 1t, discloses two
brands of democrats on the railroad rate
question, and enough bad blood between the
leaders of the two factions to stock a crowd
at Donnybrook fair. Shall Mr.. Williams,
or Mr.. Lamar lead in the maneuver to
tangle up the majority and force the tariff
to the front?
And what sort of tariff bill should we
have from that side? The maneuver sug-
gested. In order to win. would require the
democrats OF both houses to cooperate
and what cooperation is possible between
Mr.. Williams In the House and Mr.. Cor
man in the Senatef The former is a tariff
for-revenue-only advocate, and the latter a
protectionist. They no more agree as to
revenue matters than Mr.. Williams and
Mr. Lamar do as to the railroad rate-mak-
ing matter. The sort of tariff bill Mr.. VIII
liams would draw would be about as ac-
ceptable to Mr. German as to Mr.. Aldrich.
Which is to say that it would not be ac-
ceptable to Mr.. German at all. Catch the
hold up the railroads in the interests Of a
tariff revision which would knock the
spots out of some Of the formers favorite
schedules
The Charleston Post must guess again.
Some things In Washington are not what
they seem. AS matters stand, there are d.
visions in both parties. as to both the
tariff and railroad rate making. and
| what the end will be is within anybody s
province to guess. And one mans guess
| Is as good as another's But let everybody
| keep an eye on this town. and read the
story day by day. and be entertained and
instructed by as involved a condition OF
things as ever has existed in our politics.

A Tirnid Bar Association
From the New York World.

In trying to ignore Mr.. Jerome's charges
against the justices Of the first department
the Bar Association has carried discretion
to the point of moral cowardice. Mr.. Je-
rome is either right or he is wrong. In
either case II is equally important that the
facts be publicly established The associa-
ton owed 1t to itself and to the judiciary to
call upon Mr.. Jerome to prove his charges.
