THE DoUMA's RECORD
Why Russian Parliament Failed to Ac-
complish Much.


complish Much.
st. Petersburg, July 23.-The dissoIu-
ton OF the Russian douma by the i'm
perial ukase brings Russia face to face
with what may prove to be the most
emperor's autocratic act also rings
down the curtain, temporarily at least,
on the late stand and one Of the most
interesting attempts in history to give
nation form Of representative gov
eminent. t@4@ &a = b.
Judged by its positive achievements,
the douma will not rank high as law
making assemblage, but as giving voice
to a peoples sense Of wrongs, it's brief
existence has proved Of momentous i'm
portance.
L ne circumscribed nature of the dou-
mas proceedings and the dearth of
legislation that might be Of benefit to
Russia may be attributed to two causes
the lack Of harmony among the
strangely diverse. elements that went
mental law by which the emperor i'm
tied the matters that might be con-
sldered by the parliament.
The worlds youngest parliament was
opened by the emperor May 10 Of this
year.
Split Occurs.
Not long after the opening the en-
peror refused to receive an address
from the president of the douma. The
premier read the emperor g reply MAY
26, and the independent spirit and tenn
per Of the representative body was
manifested on that occasion.
The constitutional democrats were
strongly in the majority at the open
ing, but when bitter debates over the
agrarian and Jewish questions devel-
oped, new groups, like the ''group Of
toll, - were formed, and the overwhelm-
ing strength of the constitutional dem
ocrats began to dwindle.
The more radical elements showed a
growing spirit Of intolerance, and even
the moderate and conciliatory state
ments of the emperor 3 ministers were
often greeted with derision. The en-
peror' advisers urged that the douma
was simply a forum for the promulga-
ton OF revolutionary doctrines.
Breach Widens.
The breach began to widen, and it
was apparent that a crisis was inev-
liable. It came when the parliament
attempted to counteract an appeal to
the peasants from the crown by an ap-
peal to-, the country to stand by parlia-
ment on the question Of the expropria-
ton Of church and state lands The
dissolution Of parliament followed. 1870
The douma g only piece Of legisla-
ton that has become law is a bill
appropriating 81 100000 for the relief
OF ramlne-Strlcken peasants.

forced to suspend publication and per
sons can be deported by administrative
order without trial. Public and private
meetings are forbidden. Those arrested
may, if it is desired, be tried by mill
tary court and summarily executed. The
only real difference between "extra-
ordinary security and full martial law
is that powergis exercised by the So
called civil instead Of military author
ity.

proyocation to declare open war.
General Strike.
The constitutional democrats and in
j tellectuals generally recognize that they
have no weapon with which to fight the
government bayonets. The initiative,
therefore, naturally will fall to the
proletariat. This the social democrats
and the group Of toll in parliament all
along have recognized, and the most
elaborate preparations have been made
