NOT RIPE FOR CHANGE

For Two Generations He Has Been One

FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT

ST. PETERSBURG. July %. 150 Am
Russia Is not yet ripe for parliamentary
institution. The nation lacks both leaders
and education in local self-government.
This Is the view of Constantine Petro-
witch Pobedonostseff, procurator general of
the holy synod. who for two generations
was one OF the moving spirits In Russia $
internal policy and in hts old age and
amid flood OF western ideas holds stead
f. silly and honestly to his faith In czaradom
and orthodoxy.
NJ Pobedonostsen who received the AS
ISOLATED Press representative at his home
In Tsarskoe-Selo today, appeared to be In
nowise shaken by the attempt made on his
life last Thursday. and described that
event, saying that his assailant passed so
close in front of him that he almost
brushed him. and then drew a repeating
pistol. but was instantly seized by another
passenger from the train.
Causes of Attacks.
The causes for the attacks on me- said
the procurator general, ''lie in ignorance
and acknowledgements of the fact that
for ten years l have had no influence In
legislation and dishonesty of the most das-
tardly sort, because of unpopular measures
and policies with which l had absolutely
nothing to do being Intentionally, credited
to me. Much of the cause Is due also 10
unprincipled and irresponsible Russian pa
pers printed abroad. which ignorantly nre
the imagination and which inspired the at
tempt on me last year.
Passing to a frank discussion of the pres
ent reform movement, M. Pobedonostsen
declared that the refOrmers were largely
theorists, who were attempting to mt the
cloth of western institutions to nation
having It's own peculiar and distinctive Ideas
and institutions.
Agrarian Disorders.
Whatever the outcome of the present
movement may be-" he said, there Will be
more agrarian disorders and uprisings like
that headed by the rebel cossack, Yemlyan
Pugatcheff and more mutinies and rebel
lions. There is no doubt that only such re-
forms and institutions will take root as
have foundat lions of national character.
"Only such can secure civil freedom
Only nation capable of loyal self-goVern-
ment can work out and preserve free IN
situations and guarantee civil freedom
Otherwise a new government would De

Gratis as those whom 1t seeks to replace
The present reform movement has on its
banner the familiar falsehoods universal
suffrage and the will of the people. The
movement certainly indicates weakening
in authority. 1t may find encouragement
in vaciIlation. but of itself shows little In
telectual power or ffrmness.
.It Is no secret that freedom and ma
tionaI government are mere theories to our
reformers. not even sufficiently studied and
not at all understood. 1t takes men to
create Institutions. The men in demand
