Suspense in Russia.

Russian affairs have reached a state of
suspense. The douma continues to discuss
subjects that lie dangerously close to the
edge OF prudence and the czar withhoIds the
stroke of dissolution. The conserva tive ele-
ment in the douma, the constitutional DEM
ocrats, have thus far prevented any pro-
nounced actions OF defiance, but the ten
sion continues at a high point and any I'M
toward happening in the empire may pre-
cipitate a crisis June % has been men
toned as the date on which the czar WIN
proclaim recess for parliament, but there
Is no certainty OF such an event. iuasmuch
as 1t Is clearly understood by the palace
party that such course would probably
be construed by the people as a defiance of
the douma and would lead to local reyolts
in various parts OF the empire.
Doubts OF the loyalty of the army have
lately been given free expression by high
government officials. In some provinces the
ranks Of the cars troops are honeycombed
with the spirit OF mutiny. 1t is wen known
that the agitators who are preaching revo-
luton have been diligently at work to breed

Cleveland and the Bryan Boom.

OF course Mr.. Cleveland doubts the gem
uineness and staying qualities of the Bryan
boom. Why should he believe? He has
always been skeptical about the force of
sentiment He vas never a trader upon
popular emotion He was never mag
netic candidate, He has never caused the
public pulse to leap and throb. He Is of a
different school OF political science.
The very dispatches that describe Mr.
Cleveland's unwillingness to accept the
Bryan boom at its face value say that he
is out OF touch with current affairs that
ne IS retiring more and more within his
shell at Princeton and that he desires
chiefly to be let alone and allowed to live
the simple life. These are stirring and
changing times The man who wants to
understand the signs OF the period must
get about and read and talk with people
and acquire the viewpoint of the world
observer The hermit is distanced IN the
race for complete consciousness of the
great forces that are making the world
over
II is said that Mr. Cleveland questions
whether a boom two years I'm advance Of
the nominating conventions can endure the
strains OF the fickleness which now char
actcrizes the body polite. He should con-
slider the poverty of democratic candida
that candidate who has twice been defeat
ell can commend himself to his party's
convention for a third trial He was
once defeated" himself. and he later got a
third nomination and was elected This
should make him optimistic. He has no
recollection OF presidential possibility
gaining popularity by foreign travel He
has never been out OF the United States
himself and does not understand the new
game Of globe-trotting. Finally, Mr.. Cleve-
land cannot comprehend the sudden Bryan
movement In view OF the fact that the peer
less one has made no specific declarat ton
with regard TO the tariff issue, which MT
Cleveland regards as paramount He
clearly does not understand Mr. Bryan's
methods and processes
IL does not matter much what Mr. Cleve
land thinks or feels. He is distinctly out
OF the game. New men are In charge. New
forces are at wosk within the democratic
party. II he should break from his shell
and consent to head the New Jersey dele

doubtless be accorded a respectful hearing
There would be much kow-towlng to him
as "a twice successful candidate. His pom

considerable II not understanding attention
But, In the language Of the turf he would
not be one-two-three In the race when the
time came for making the nomination HIS

discomfort among the soldiers, and some
regiments are strongly suspected OF sym

newspapers asserts that 1t Is the govern

A significant note is uttered by the Rech.
organ of the constitutional democrats, in
this language:
I'VE must carry the government by siege
and not by assault. The fate OF the at

provinces without the power to support II
proves the futility of mere paper deciara-
ton of the assumption Of power. 1t is too
early yet to give the masses the word TO

This means a long course Of education,
patient preparation of the people for their
assault against the entertainments of pr1vi-
lege and power. Such a course will make
for surer progress than series Of abortive
revolts or a parliamentary eruption bring
Ing In quick sequence the dissolution Of the
douma. The Russian people are In sore
need of enlightenment as to their oppor-
tunities their needs. their limitations. They
are not ready today for a liberal degree OF
autonomy. They have gained much during
the past year. but they must not expect to
continue to gain at the same ratio. A too
rapid destruction of the old order, such as
that witnessed in France In 17S9-9O. II II
were possible in Russia today, would almost
surely cause reaction.
First of all necessary in Russia at this
juncture is the formation of party lines.

views and desires. Parties are in themselves

The disapproval of the House meat in
