The DONNA Making History.

Nobody in or out of Russia can claim
that the douma has not already shown
Legislative talent Of a high order. The
address to the throne is direct. prac-
tical and specific. 1t demands free
speech and freedom. Of action. AS a
necessary preliminary to that, it de-
mands the release of the persons who
have been thrown into prison during
Ithe#past few months for the advocacy
by violent means Of what the. douma is
now endeavoring to bring about by
legal means, the iberalizing Of the
Russian government. 1t is not denied
thatNthese persons have committed some
.offenses against the old laws; but if
a these victims Of bureaucracy cannot be
acquitted under the old law, they must
be pardoned by the emperor as an ear
nest: Of his parting with the old re-
gime. himself. This is the douma s de-
cision.
ItSis significant and hopeful that the
dourna did not forget these compatri-
OTIS, nor did it mince words in demand
ing that they be brought out of Jail.
Neither ingratitude, callousness nor fear
can sbe charged against the majority
of the douma. 1t has shown itself
brave as well as wise, because it real
ICES. that there can be no real peace
in Russia while the relatives of thou
sands Of political prisoners are clam
oring for their release as a sign Of the
abandonment: of the arbitrary system
of government.
Itsis unlikely that the emperor will
refuse the sign. The, appeal of the
council of the empire for amnesty diff
ferss from that Of the. douma. only in
words. The emperor cannot stand
against both of the representative
bodies, the one chosen by the people,
the other Of his own choosing. If he
meant anything by his call for assist
ance in the conduct of the government,
he must recognize this first and funda-
mental demand. -ss.>s !.
