Constitutional Press Denounces the
Russian Bureaucracy.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE
Son of the Fatherland, now the leading
exponent of constitutionalism, fiercely
denounces the manner in which, it al
leges. the bureaucracy is trying to de-
feat the war which all Russia is wag-
ing against it. 1t charges the bureau
cracy with having inaugurated a sys-
tematic campaign to gag public opin-
ion, instancing the recent action
against the barristers' Congress here
and the prohibition of meetings of
other professional bodies in Moscow
and elsewhere, all of which, it declares,
is in direct contravention of the spirit
o. the imperial ukase of March 3.
giving individuals and societies the
right to freely petition the throne on
the subject Of the general welfare. At
the same time, the paper charges the
bureaucracy with inspiring the local
authorities everywhere to fight the re-
form movement by setting one class of
the population against the other.
"All the efforts of the bureaucracy
to still public opinion" the article
says, will be in vain; the other tricks
will be unavailing. 1t has sown the
wind and will reap the whirlwind.
