New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1907-07-17

The latest important assassination In Russia
removes one of the most striking and charac-
teristc figures in the modern history of that
empire. The man whom the world has com
monty known as Colonel Allkhauotf and has
regarded as a Russian was I'm reality descend
ant Of the ancient and now almost extinct
Avars, and was properly known, before his
name was RUssauzed. as All Khan. Nearly all
bis life was devoted to the Russian service.
chiefly In the conquest and annexation of Cen
trail Asia and the futile advance upon British
India, and there was probably no other man
who achieved more IN that field than he.
1t was Ali Khan, the absolutely ruthless and
unsparing, who swept through Turkestan with
fire and sword Mt the heels OF Kaufman and
Skobclef. TO Khiva. To Merry, To Samarcand, and
then, by the side OF komaToif, to Penjdeh. sub
DUNG the Sarik Turcomans ana threatening
Ierat. Those campaigns, which Nerestchagin
portrayed in his CHASTITY slaughter pictures,
were IA fitting complement to the campaigns OF
Genghs and Timour long before in the same
quarter of the globe. Then ii was the same All
Khan, RusslaulZed as Colonel Alikhanon, who
in the wake Of massacre built railroads from
the Caspian to the Oxus and JaXartes and in
troduced European industry ana commerce To
the land Of the Merry Tekkes
In thus linking slaughter with civilization he
was typical Of the whole modern career Of
Russia. In being himself not Russian but
alien, and yet more Russian than the Russians
themselves, he was also typical of an innu-
merabe company OF distinguished servants OF
the Muscoyto Crown. In his later years. as a
civil administrator, he displayed all the I'M
Sparing ferocity which had marked his cam
paigns of conquest, and that he at last came to
a violent end was only what might have been
expected and what he himself not improbably
regarded as his destiny.

THE ROMAN ELECTIONS.

European papers of nearly all shades Of po-
Iitical and religious sentiment are practically
agreed in recognizing the significance OF the
recent municipal elections i'll ROme-a signiti-
canoe far greater than would appear from the
scant attention which was paid TO the sub
feet in the news Of the day Hitherto, it IS true
the local elections Of the Eternal City have been
of little more than local interest. But this year
they may. without exaggeration, be deemed 70
have marked an epoch in Italian history.
Hitherto local politics In Rome have been
quite distinct and separate from the national
politics of the kingdom. The Papal rule Of
mon expedit" has not applied In them, and
consequently the most faithful children Of tia
Roman Church have been free to vote. AS
a result of their participation in the elections
the Clerical party has generally had an over
whelming majority in the Municipal Council
But this years election has changed all that
For the first time the issue of CIercalism and
autt- CIericalism was raised. and thereon tho
election was contested The result was that
while the Catholics fOcked 70 the polls in as
great numbers as ever, the ant-Clerical "DIoc
was successful in electing no fewer than twenty
four of the twenty-nine members of the Coun-
cIl-formng one-third of that body-whO were
chosen this year That in itself is probably sur
ficient to change the complexion OF the Coun-
Gil But next years polling If conducted Oh the
same lines, will make the city government over
whelmingly anti-Clerical.
Some difference OF opinion exists concerning
the cause Of this revolution, bnt the great
weight s to the effect that ii is a protest against
Church dictation in politics 1t is said that the
Vatican, not content with having the Catholic
electorate return majority to the Council with
out drawing Clerical lines, insisted that Catho-
lies should be elected dstnctvely as Catholics
and as anti-secularists. This was resented by
a multitude of the Catholics themselves. who
depored such Clerical dlctation in politics and
also the injection OF the quarrel between Vatl-
can and Quirinal into purely municipal affairs.
But the issue, once having been raised, is not
likely TO be suppressed, and we may hereafter
expect to see anti Clerica--though, of
course, not necessarily anti-Catholic or anti
religious-movement dominant In local affairs
In Rome as we'll as in national affairs through
