ants would noe know what to Do
wfrh a constitution that anarchy
would reign il such thing was
granted them.
Undoubtedly the grand duke was
right. and the keynote to the whole
situation lies in that sentence The
policy of that autocrauic government
is to keep the Deaaantry of Russia
in beuighted condition. so that
they ara incapable OF understanding
the blessings OF a constitutional form
of governments. Let them be Taught
chat they are living in an enIght-
ened age and that there is some
thing in the shape OF power beside
the czar, that thing being a con
trolling moral sentiment. and they

Does the grand duke believe for
one instant that the American peo-
pie, even though Russia has been
friendly to the United States. could
counteuance the shooting down OF
inonensive worI5men simply because
they asked an ameIioration Of their
condition. Yet this impossible
frieudIiness he asks. which would be
no more or less than a condoning Of
butehery.
The grand duke says he is a Rus
sian from the top Of his head to
the sole OF his feet, and that means
autocracy- He might have better
said tthere would have been less
ubterfuge in IT'D that the Russian
autocratic empire must be sustained
that any show OF weakness upon
the part OF the mobiles is the com
menoement Of an undoing which is
bound and certain to come.
Education and not the kuour is
what the Russian people want So
long as they can be kept in a condf-
rion bordering on barbarisn. so long
may the autonomy OF the Russian
empire be maintained.

the same blood as sergius. the Ivan
