BUsslA's INTERNAL sTRUGgLE.


If what is taking place in Russia can
not properly be termed a revolution. it
certainly comes very near to that and
has in 1t most of the conditions that pro-
duce revolution. Never before was
there so general and complete popular
protest against autocratic conditions as
is now being made. The Russian gov
eminent has been confronted by other
internal crises, but nothing more wide
spread and formidable than the one it
now has to deal with promptly. The
storm has burst upon the empire with an
awe-inspiring suddenness and with
frightful severity. Within. few days
many of the agencies Of trade and trans
portation have been rendered useless
and In portions of the empire industries
are at a standstill and idle labor has
marshaIled itself with the opponents of
the government
All this shows how active the revolu-
tionaries have been and how well they
have organized the disaffected classes.
The evident fact is that they now have
with them many thousands of workmen
and that the spirit of insurrection has
been cultivated in every direction. The
promises that were made to the people
a short time ago by the car have not
yet been fulfilled. The patience Of the
people is about exhausted and they do
not propose to wait for the return Of
the Manchurian army before further
urging their demand for relief from in
tolerable conditions. They have mani
testify determined to show the car and
his counseIlors that there must be action
on their part at once to give the relief
which the people want or the govern
ment must suffer the consequences.
The existing situation is not altogether
due to the demand Of labor for letter
remuneration. There is a far deeper
significance to it. Were the government
to eoncede what is asked by the railroad
employees that would not end the
struggle for political reforms. That will
go on until the reforms are granted and
there is every reason to believe that 1t
will steadily gain in force. The Russian
people are beginning TO realize their
power and at the same time to under
stand the inherent weakness of the aris-
tocracy, which in this exigency shows
neither courage nor craftsmanship. ''The
chiefs Of state are at a loss how to act. /"
says a ST. Petersburg dispatch. MORT
bund, the autocracy faces the situation
with fear and trembling. 1t hesitates to
surrender any OF its power and preroga-
lives. yet II realizes the danger that
menaees It and from which it sees no
escape except through concessions to
the people. II is not sure even Of the
army. doubling whether that bulwark
OF autocratic power can be brought to
the point Of Staying the people from
which It is drawn. 1t has, indeed, been
loyal in the past, but times and condl-
TONS have changed. II is not impossible
thar the Russian soldiers may be found
10 sympathy with the people. The
correspondent in Russia of a London
! paper predicts frightful disaster for the
Russian government and people. he
says that nobody any longer questions
the reality Of the revolution or the reign
Of anarchy and that "monstrous doiugs,
such IS history has never yet recorded,
are quite possible"

The difficulty encountered in securing
a jury for an impending murder trial is
explained on the ground of growing
prevalence in Omaha Of conscientious

The more plausible explanation is a
growing prevalence Of conscientious

may be tied up a week or more on a
single trial and locked up indefinitely
to incubate a verdict.
