Emperor Nicholas by a stroke OF
the pen set Russia back to where she
stood two years ago, in the full grip
Of the autocracy and irresponsible
government, wiping out for six
months at least the whole structure
of parliament. erected at much cost.
There Is little doubt that the order
for convocation of the new assembly
will still further postpone the time,
unless the new parliament promises to
be more amenable than the present.
The delay in fixing the time for the
new elections seems to indicate n de.
cision to change the present basis OF

sal suffrage with which the advisers
OF the emperor hope to swamp the
educated liberals. the socialists and
the workmen with the vastness OF
peasantry. The only uncertainty is
the coming storm-when and where II

lision now they will find the revolu.
tionary leaders not prepared for an
uprising as at Moscow, whereas fur

tlutionists the time needed to organ
