ST. Petersburg.-In Russia the gov
erning power is virtually in the hands
of the grand dukes. 1t is to them the
car must turn for advice, and it is
their advice which must be accepted
whether the car would or not. for they
are more to be feared by the Little Fa-
Their than are the people. Palace walls
guard him from the Populations Of the
working classes and prevent the plac-
ing of nihilistic bombs, but palace walls
will not guard him from the machinations
OF his relatives, the grand dukes, and
they would not always be averse to
his death.
They can rule only so long as Russia
remains an absolute monarchy. Once
let reform get start, let the people
have share in the government and
the day of the grand dukes is over. This
they know, and it is against such pos
sibility that they will exert every in
fiuence.
AS class, the grand dukes of Russia
are not worth representing any people.
AS class they are a dissolute set to
whom country, society, morals, must
be sacrificed on the altar Of their de-
sires. There are exceptions to this
rule, but they are not many. Grand
Duke Boris is fair example of the rule,
and, as an illustration of his ,charac-
ter, and of the influence of the grand
dukes upon Russia is given the follow
ing story written by the great Russian
novelist, Maxim Cork. Cork is one

The masked man leaned back in his
chair, crossed his legs and quizzed the
president leeringly.
See here, fellow" he said, slowly, in
an ironical voice. Come to think of
it, you are not as useless as | first imag-
ined. Being the president of the club,
you have full power to remove these
fossils from my sight. Do-so quick
