THE REAL AUTOCRAT.

Lines written after seeing n photo

What tho mighty empire reels and
rocks,
And Revolution lifts his CORY hand.
Ccmplacent still amid the earthquake
shocks,
One monarch on a throne mistaken
stands.
Tho all the glittering social fabric fall
BCrying alike the evil and the good.
One precious thing shall rise amid il
all
The autocracY divine of Babyhood.
For it is founded on the sacred right
OF utter helplessness; more potent far
It's mute appeal than, in their serried
might.

All else might fall to dust or rise in
smoke,
Yet this, emergent and inviolate,
Beauty and order would again evoke,
Restore the temples and rebuild the
state.

Eues Again Turned Eastward

For several days the people Of this
country have been so engaged on
their own affairs that they have had
little time to devote to the situation
In he East. Now that the President
has been inaugurated, and affairs
have settled into their wonted aspect,
the fact that the war is approaching
a crisis forces itself upon the senses.
A few days ago ". T. Stead, in
some respects a great, man. but weak
ened by a tendency to Mysteries, had
an interview with. the Gar When
he emerged from 1t ne exclaimed:
4 thank God for him If he is spared
TO Russia that young man will go
far. There can be no doubt the young
man is going far. He does not seem
TO be going in the direction the pros
pect of which stirred Stead to iubila-
ton.
The young man is being let alone
to such an extent that he could assert
his personality if ne possessed such
an attribute. His chief adviser, and
the one who had been most potent
in leading him into error, has been
removed The lack of regret on the
part of the people ought to&ave made
clear to the Gar the temper of his
subjects. There has been no change
IN policy. A rescript that at first was
supposed to hold out some promise
g 70 n ~. r.P A
the front, the army is engaged in
what seems to be a losing battle At
home, the CossacRs still ride down
students, and the police beat young
men and women to death in the pris-
ons for the crime of asking for
liberty.
When the populace, nnarmed, went
to confer with the little father" the
Gar had a chance such as may never
again be presented. Yet, there did
remain the opportunity to show that
he began to understand and appre-
ciate. He has acted as though blind
and dumb. With a falIacious persist
ency that, devoted to reform, would do
much to save his kingdom, he en-
cages himself in lettering his throne
upon foundation that grows more
fraiI.
There has been promise on both
sides of war to the bitter end
This seems to be the only promise
that is to be kept, and this end ap-
proaehes.

Legislative Corruption.

The charge is made, specifically,
that a Democratic State senator of
New York has paid to each of several
Republican members a bribe of $4,000,
in order to secure support for the gas
combine of New York city. The only
detail lacking is the names Of the ac-
eused. There should be no difficulty
in securing these, and no delay in
making them known. After that
ought To follow at once an adequate
punishment.
AS to the primary step, California
has set valuable pattern. Out there
four members accepted bribe. They
were detected, and, after q chance to
make a defense, We're publicly expell-
ed Whether or not the cases will
now go TO court and the guilty to jail
has net appeared. There was a time
when California would not have taken
this course. for many of its legislative
sessions have been marked by open
corruption. People are getting more
particular, partly as a matter Of morals
and partly as matter of business.
On general principles, there is
something most unpleasant in know
ing that there are purchasable legisIa-
TORS. But the man who is for sale
cannot be factor in wise and prudent
lawmakfng. OF necessity, when he
is bought. he is the property and the
tool Of an evil force. The more potent
this force becomes the more the
public must suffer. People do not
propose to pay salary TO thieves for

Governor Was Their Guest.

Governor MeLane of New Hampshire
and his staff. with the New Hampshire
delegation in Congress, were the guests
at luncheon yesterday of Senator Eel
Iinger.
The handsome room of the District
Committee was most charmingly dec
GRATED with potted plants and flowers,
and covers We're laid for more than fifty
persons.
After the luncheon, which was a most
delightful occasion. the party was given
the freedom of the Capitol building,
fingers private secretary, they visited
the Senate chamber, the Marble room,
the rooms of the President and Vice
President, and the House wing.
The ladies of the party were espe-
eiaily pleased at being permitted to sit
III the Vice Presidents and Speaker s
chairs, and We're much interested in the
beautiful and historic articles found in
the Vice Presidents room.

PLAN D. A R. HOME
NEAR CONTINENTAL HALL

A project interesting the Daughters of
the American Revolution at present Is a
movement started by energetic woTlas
for a .. A. r. Home to be located next
to Memorial Continental Hail.
The scheme, which is still in embryo, IS
one that greatly appeals to the average
Daughter, for. despite the current i'm
preston TO the contrary, not ali the
members of the D. A. r. are in affiuent
circumstances. In particular would the
home care for real Daughters, as the
women are termed whose fathers We're
Revolutionary soldiers.
The home would be on the order of
the Louise Home. and, as one strenuous
advocate states, would not detract from
the Continental Hall movement, for
there are many who will only give to
charity or in the nameaof charity"

vented many from attending there were
nearly 200 prominent people at the gal

more private view of the pictures, and
they are now on exhibition for the pub

art at the gallery.

robbing them. The books are 1um-
bered with useless and vicious
statutes. The policy of adding to this
legislation does not commend itself
to the judgment Therefore, the
bribe-taker must be effaced, his evan
ishment from activity being in token
of a material as we'll as moral
triumph.
