The ~Pan-American Principle.

Tomorrow the sessions ofthe so-oalled
Congress of the republics Of America,
North, South and Central, will begin at
Rio de Janeiro.
1t is a great idea. this embodiment OF
Pan-America in an occasional assembly
of the sisters, great and small. II pre-
vious gatherings Of the delegates have
been sentimentally interesting rather
than widely important, the same remark
will not apply to the present occasion,
providing the mission of Secretary Roof
10 successful.
We understand that mission to be,
briefly stated, to impress upon the minds
OF all concerned the pregnant fact that
the greatest and strongest Of the nations
Of this hemisphere has no other wish
than that the sister republics shall be
happy and prosperous; no policy but Of
amity and disinterested h~elpfulness, and
no desire or intention to convert the
Monroe Doctrine, under any circum-
stances, into an instrument of territorial
aggression,
When this is as we'll understood every
where as it is here in the United States,
no half Of any planet now circling
around the central sun will be better of in
every part than the Western Hemisphere
Of this particular globe. Between the
two poles there will not be a single re-
public which may not devote itself, with
out apprehension Of encroachment or
Injustice from any quarter, to the pleas
ant task Of developing its industrial
resources, and SO behaving itself polit-
ically that by and by its Government
also will be selling . per cent. bonds at
104 or ~thereabouts.
And what better man could the United
States send to carry this message and
present it convincingly than the Hon.

VIII tho Duma BE Dissolved2

We are told that such reactionists as
Count IGNATIEFF and Mr.. PoBIEDo-
NosTsEFF, formerly P~rocurator-G General
Of the Holy Synod, have regained the
a Of the Car and have persuaded him
that the Duma has forfeited its right to
exist by addressing a manifesto on the
agrarian question directly to the nation
instead Of through the medium OF the
Cars Ministers. This act Of revolution,
as they term it, justifes, they say. a dis
solution OF the assembly, and according
to n report from st. Petersburg a
ukase to that effeoh has actually been
signed. We find it hard to believe that
NICHOLAS II. will risk a step fraught
with 30 much peril to himself and to his
family. For two reasons: The manifesto
complained Of has not yet been issued,
and whether 1t was technically voted is
doubtful; moreover, the dispersal Of the
Duma by violence would almost certainly
provoke a civil war, the cost Of which
the Government could i'll support, az
under the circumstances it's
could not be %replenished with foreign
loans. About the gravity Of the situa-
ton there is Of course no doubt, in view
Of the sudden and marked decline Of
Russian securities and the sympathetic
general depression Of the European stock
exchanges.
At the opening Of the session Of the
Duma on Friday President MURoMTsEFF
decided that the resolution to publish
an address to the country on the agra
rian question had not been carried,
owing to the absence Of a quorum.
During the long and heated debate on
Thursday night the more cautious and
far sighted leaders of the Constitutional
Democrats had argued against giving
the reactionists a pretext for d~issolving
the assembly, such as would be afforded
by a violation of the Fundamental law"
proclaimed just before the meeting of
Parliament. That law forbade the Duma
TO hold any direct communication with
the sovereign, and infercntially with
the nation, except through the Ministers
possessing the confidence of NICHOLAS ii.
Now the resignation of the Goremykin
Ministry, though repeatedly offered, has
not yet been accepted, and it was there
fore the duty of the Duma as a matter
of form to transmit its views concerning
the agrarian problem through a member
of that body to the Gar, Even if the
address embodying the convictions and
wishes Of the assembly should have been
~pigeonholed, their substance would have
been made known unoficialIy through
the newspapers and the appeal would
soon have reached the people, TO whom
1t really was add ressed.
But although the shrewder spokes-

man Of the Constitutional Democratic
majority managed to modify the tenor
of The document IN some particulars, the
Duma refused to expunge an offensive
Reputation OF the Goremykin Cabinet
and insisted upon addressing the mani
festo directly to the nation. Inasmuch,
however, as the so-called Group OF Toll,
which numbers more than a hundred
members, and the more advanced sec
ton Of the Constitutional Democrats
themselves had left the chamber in dis
gust at the unwilingness Of their more
circumspect colleagues to maintain a
provocative and defiant attitude, there
seems to have been no quorum present
when at last the publication Of the mani
festo was ordered. When these facts
became known at Peterhof they must
naturally have tended to dlssuade the
Gar from issuing a ukase dissolving
the assembly, and the sovereign may
now revert to his plan OF substituting
for the Goremykin Ministry a coalition
Cabinet, made up partly Of Constitu-
tional Democrats and partly Of spokes-
men OF those conservatives who sit In
the centre Of the Council Of the Empire
and who manifestly desire to further
the establishment Of representative
institutions.
This would seem to be the psychologi-
cal moment for the temperance Of
Count WrrTE on the scene, and there Is
a report that he has been recalled and is
on his way to St. Petersburg. II a coali-
ton Ministry Is to have any chance OF

storing confidence abroad, Count WITTB,

1t Ii well known that he had nothing to
do with the framing OF the obnoxious
fundamental law put forth just
before the Parliament convened, but
that on the contrary no ooner was it's
purport made known to him than he
resigned and left Russia. The distrust
with which reformers at one time re-
garded him seems to have been much
mitigated, and in the eyes not only Of
the Car but Of those political leaders
who appreciate the %pecuniary cost Of
solving the agrarian problem by the
process Of even voluntary expropria-
ton Count WHITES financial ability
and experience constitute a strong
recommendation. The immense extent
to which Count WIrTE, when Minister
Of Finance, increased the Russian eve
III by a Government monopoly Of the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic bev-
erages is we'll known to those familiar
with Russia's recent economical and fiscal
history. His presence at the head of a
mixed Ministry would signally improve
Russia's credit with European fi%nanoiers.
1t Is possible, of course, that the Re-
actionists may within the next few days
prevail upon NICHOLAS III. to commit
an act Of suicidal folly. We prefer to
believe that the rulers mind will once
more oscillate in the direction of good
sense and prudence, in which event the
Duma may enter on an extended term
of activity and usefulness.

Senator La FoIIette's Methods.

Out in Wisconsin Senator LA TOILETTE
Is regarded as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for President. In the
attacks which he makes in Chautauqua
addresses on his brother Senators who
voted against the amendments that
he proposed to the rate bill, the same
plan Of personal campaign which he
found 30 successful in his contests for
the Governorship may be recognized.
His hand is always against every public
man who does not share his opinions or
who stands in his path.
The Senator adds to his income by
lecturing everybody else, and he is the
free lance of the C%hautauqua circuit.
His assaults on Senator SPooNER in his
home State were too savage to be justi-
fed by the e%xigencies Of politics, and
lost him the sympathy Of some Of his
own supporters. He Is o putting his
Republican colleagues in the pillory and
pelting them with the bitterest invective.
1t is said that in Indiana the other day he
turned on Senator HEMENwAY, who had
introduced him to his audience, and
charged him with caring more for the
interests Of the railroads than for the
welfare Of the people. 1t Is intimated
that in his future Chautauqua addresses
Senate or LA TOILETTE will call the roll
Of his opponents in the Senate with dra-
matte effect and speak his mind about
them. This is probably true, for Sena-
torial or other courtesy is not n Of Mr..
LA FoLLETTE's strong suits; but it is
doubtful whether such tactics will be
successful in the larger field.
Senator LA TOILETTE began one Of
his campaigns for the G~overnorship by
insinuating that his old patron Senator
SAWYER had attempted to bride him by
offering a retainer in a court case. Mr..
LA FoLLETTE's friends were shocked
and the old Senator's friends were in
dignant. The young reformer's rep
utation suffered more than the Senator's.
The returning boomerang knocked him
out of public life for several years.
Mr.. LA TOILETTE always suspects his
opponents of bribery and u~nspeakable
iniouities. He once charged that his
wi delegates to a State convention
were taken to a room in a hotel, where
"money in large bills was stacked on a
table and held down by paper weights
None Of his faithful delegates was
tempted; yet Mr.. LA TOILETTE COM
planned that votes pledged to him were
spirited away "by unlawful MEANS
1t is characteristic of him to be strong
in charges, weak in the proofs and
utterly illogical in his conclusions.
For incorporate u%tterances he is ia
nous. The report that he had advocated
the hanging Of President FISH Of the
Illinois Central he denied vehemen,ly, but
confessed to having said that he would like
"to see STUYvEsANT FISH hung up by the
thumbs for three hours" The only prov
ocation was that Governor LA TOILETTE
had been unable to get a sleeping car berth
until midnight during one Of his rail-
road journeys.
Probably the Senator's audiences will
hear more politics from him this summer
than they bargain for. He is always
campaigning, At one Of the old set
tiers meetings in Wisconsin he. talked
politics SO much that Senator QUARLEs
protested that it was "a pity that old
