counsel has been needed. The people
are to be given some 'inalienable
rights''-the right of assembly, free
dom of the press, and the writ OF
habeas corpus. The national assemb-
ly is to be converted into a real legis-
lature with much greater powers than
those given the douma The suffrage
is to be much extended. This should
pacify Russia, but it may come too
late.
1t is, manifest that the policy Of
coercion could not longer be adhered
to. The reports as to the unreliable
ity of the army are more detailed and
come from more points. One hears
of soldiers who refuse to fire on the
people, who desert, who mutiny. 1t
is evident that the leaven of discOn-
tent is working among the troops, and
that the right arm of the autocracy
is weakened. The people are losing
their fear of the soldiers as we'll as
of the priests. Every sign of timid-
ity on the part OF the autocracy en-
bOldens them.
No concessions the car will con-
sent to make will have much influ-
ence on the social democrats and the
revolutionary socialists who have en-
gineered the extensive strikes and
demonstrations which are reducing
the government to impotency. Their
simple creed is land and liberty"
They demand for the peasants the
