MoNARcHs AND MEN.

After reading current Russian his
tory the student can hardly refrain
from the conclusion that monarchies
are bad and that such form of gov
eminent cannot be right. But when
another column In the daily newspaper
is reached and the dispatches from
Naples are read, the opinion under
goes change 1t tells of the work of
the king and queen of Italy among the
suffering victims Of the eruption of
Mount Vesuvius.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena, when first the news of the vio-
lent eruption reached Rome, made i'm
mediate preparations to go to. the
scene. They did not go as sightseers
but as rescuers. They did not watch
the scene of desolation and misery
from afar but fastened to the very
center of the district. They did not
flee when they found conditions worse
than they had expected, but forged
on the more determinedly because
they knew their help was needed by
the people. With the duke and duchess
OF Aosta they were showered with hot
lava and ashes when on an errand of
mercy, but they did not turn back
They abandoned their useless automo-
bile and walked to the nearest town,
where they mingled with the poorest
and most unfortunate of their subjects,
doing everything possible to make the
lot Of the victims of the catastrophe
lighter and easier to bear. They felt
no fear Of assassination. They we're
not guarded by Gordon of detectives.
Cossacks did not clear way for them
through hostile subjects. Their pro-
gress was hailed with Joy by the faith
full Italians.
And thus is presented view Of the
two extremes that can be reached in a
monarchial form OF government The
car of all the Russias would no more
venture out among his people, alone
and unprotected, than he would try to
walk across the Black sea on the
water In either case death would be
as sure as in the other. But 1t Is not
necessarily due to the nature of the
people of the two countries. Italy has
comparatively as many anarchists as
Russia has nihilists. But the difference
is In the rulers themselves: Nicholas
Is a czar, without the manhood and the
strength OF character to be a czar
Victor Is a king with all the powers Of
Ia king, but he chooses to rule by force
Of character rather than with rod OF
iron. Nicholas is weakling; Victor IL
