The Russian Situation.

Ioaays dispatches from St Petersburg
indicate a lessening of the strain and point
10 the probable early collapse of the sec
ond political strike. 1t is TO be hoped that
this result will come. for there could be
no worse fate for Russia now than to con-
tlnue IN the present course of agitation and
bloodShed. popular demonstration and re-
prisdls by the government. Having gained
so much IN the way of a constitutional
guarantee, the people stand to lose rather
thaH gain by further disorders
Naturally many of the radical Russians
are impatient of the slow processes of
evolution to the point of popular govern
ment. They want to leap at once to the
front as ful-hedged citizens of a liberal
monarchy or even a republic. They want
all the accumulated evils of generations of
autocraey TO be cured at one stroke. They
are hred with the same spirit that swept
through France in 1889, destroying all the
ancient landmarks and clearing the ground
for the establishment OF a new order of
things. They forget the misfortunes which
befell the French in their unwise zeal and
tntemperate haste to reach at one stride the
very opposite of the old regime The first
definite result of the terror the first sub-
stantial construction on the ruins of the old
monarchy, was an empire which cost
France dearly in blood for its maintenance
and extension. 1t was not until 1870. as the
result OF a swiftly disastrous foreign war.
and after the nation had passed through
many radical changes and experienced

McClellan's Attitude,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. McClellans break from the Tammany
policy OF obstructing the fullest review of
discrepancies in the election returns is dis
tinctly credftable to him. His earlier state
ments concerning the contest conveyed the
impression that he was thoroughly satisfied
of his election and meant to concede no
technical point to those who questioned 1T.
If he was not misunderstood then, his ac-
ton now shows higher view Of the situ-
alton. He Is entitled to believe in his own
election, and 1t Is his duty to defend the
counting of every valid vote cast for him
and oppose the counting of every invalid
vote cast for Mr. Hearst. At the same
time 1t Is his duty to facilitate in every
way possible the ascertainment Of the vote
actually cast by the electors. whether the
facts brought out are favorable to his
claim or initiate against 1t. Through his
counsel ex-Judge Parker, he has done this.
to the evident surprise of his Tammany
hackers, who are striving to throw every
technical obstacle in the way of righting
even the most palpable wrong operating in
their favor.

many terrible misfortunes, that France
gained a foothold on the solid ground of
republicanism.
Russia is even less favorably conditioned
today for distinct change of adminiatra-
tive forms than was France In 1879. and
any attempt to force the establishment of
a complete degree of popular participation
in the government is almost certain to re-
suit In violent reaction. just as there has
already been swift return of the pendu-
lum following the swing toward a greater
degree of liberty.
Today's news Is that the workmen are
not disposed and not prepared to engage IN
second political strike, especially for the
sake of Polish freedom. The winter Is at
hand and their funds are exhausted. They
have no reserve. and if they do not work
they will loot. They realize that the gov
eminent Is growing stronger as the troops
from Manchuria continue to arrive. The
world beyond the Russian boundaries Is
pouring no stream of wealth into their
pockets as 1t is into those of the stricken
Jews of the southern provinces. They have
in a large measure lost the moral support
of their former sympathizers.
What Russia needs today chiefly is rest
from agitation and violence, a chance for
the new order to establish itself, for the
new leaders to organize the government
the car to realize the strength of his new
position. now that he has in large meas
ure broken with the old order. A year of
quietude will do more to the end Of ulti-
mate freedom for all Russia. with pros
pect for steady advance into enlighten-
ment and prosperity than devastating.
murderous season of utter anarchy, how
ever destructive it might be of the ancient
regime with all its corruption.

Pessimistic Gratitude.

I don't see much that pleases me,
No matter where I turn;
The world is full of discomfort,
And lessons none can learn.
The weather's always too intensei
Too hot or else too cold.
One day they tell you you're too young
And next you are too old.
Dame Fortune is to me unkind,
For even when I score,
I know that by different plan
I might have gained much more.
I've known the pangs of hunger keen
I've felt dyspepsia's clutch
I've either not enough to eat,
Or else I eat too much.
Though punishment is often swift,
Reward Is very slow;
An enemy Is always true.
Though friends are seldom so.
And yet I'll hail Thanksgiving day
With sentiments devout-
I'm thankful for so many things
That can kick about.

Coup D'Etat in Isle of Pines.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


President Palma of Cuba, who is said to
be man of sense with a dash of humor
in his composition should now make haste
to send to the Isle of Pines a few stout po-
Hcemen with instructions to arrest the pro-
motors who have thrown over the Cuban
rule and declared their adherence to the
United States and have them tried in the
police court for disorderly conduct. We
suggest that the matter be not looked upon
as one of grave seriousness, but that each
of the revolters be assessed in the sum OF
say 50 and costs.
