EMPEROR AND HIS PEOPLE.

The wavering OF the Emperor OF Rus.
STA in the matter of granting the people
a voice in the government is a hopeful
sign at least for the people. But that
he should give enough heed to tine ducal
party, which still holds out, is not to the
credit of his courage ani does not indi-
cate that mis- sympathy feebly expressed
thus far is at all sincere AMI scarcely
more than skin deep.
The uprising has been more taan
enough to convince even the Emperor
himself that the sentiment OF tie ma
ton is against the tyranny and barbar
ity of his reign and that the peopla have
resolved to throw OF the yoke Of bond
age an imperial form Of government
has made them wear so long.
Again. it is plain to MIN that royalty
can no longer infliet nardships OF thu
nature the people have endured the past
several centuries. That particular class
is no longer in favor and no longer com
handing enough to nave such follow
ing as would intimidate the people gen
orally, mucn less be able to suppress a
revolution.
Yet another feature of the situation,
whicn is most grave is the waging Of a
war-not to protect his people but TO
establish himself over a greater cxpansa
Of territory. This war is waged at tnc
sacrifice OF the lives Of thousands of

1t is not passing strange under all the
circumstances that the popular demand

people and for the people is so earnest
and tnreateningly clamorous.
Under all the circumstances and thu

1t is not at all strange, taking into
