Ii rests with the revolutionaries.
The tug of war is on between the
douma representing the people of
Russia. and the aristocracy. The
gage was thrown down when the
almost unanimous vote of want OF
confidence in the cabinet was cast,
and the douma will win in the end if
the terrorists can be held in check.
But they fill an anomalous position
in the ferment of Russian civil life.
II was in a measure due to the exer-
tions OF the extremists that a repre-
sentative assembly was brought
about. Deplore the practice Of assas-
sination as We must. the nihilists and
terrorists have played their part in
the drama of liberty, and at times
their cruel measures have seemed al
most justified. But in the reconstruc-
ton of Russia Constitutional Dem
ocrats can not depend on the support
of anarchists, for they are as
much opposed to one form of govern
ment as another. and. habituated to
thoughts of murder and deeds of vio-
lence, the anarchist will ever turn to
that method of showing his lack of
confidence, in preference TO the more
peaceful plan of the ballot. 1t is this
bloody form that stands between the
douma and the realization of the
hopes OF the people. Absolute amDes-
ty 10 political offenders is refused be
cause that would liberate the bomb
thrower. and in this reservation we
can but sympathize with Nicholas.
SO. too. is there always this danger
that every extension of liberty will
stretch the license of the anarchist.
The latter seems to have little SYM
patty with the efforts of the douma.
In fact, II Is charged that the ex-
tremists are being used by the reac-
tionaries to terrify the ear into a
refusal to surrender to the people.
Russia, either aristocratic or demo-
cratic, has a problem on her hands
In getting rid of the red flag mob.
She has been working at the problem
since the first propaganda of anarchy,
but in her efforts has made martyrs
of her victims. and thus with every
drop of their blood planted the prin-
ciples OF anarchy in her very soul. It's
a proof OF the fact that the law is
not for vengeance. Perhaps, II Russia
would change the purposes and in
tent of her statutes they might be-
come more efficacious without being
less drastic A mans neck can be
broken just as ensctually for the
good of society as for the sake of re-
venge.
