The Russian Situation.

Matters are evidently in a bad way in
Russia. Not even the most persistent opti-
mist can regard the situation at st. Peters,
burg as encouraging. while the interior of
the empire is plainly In state little bet
ter than chaotic. Authentic dispatches
from the capital indicate that DESPITE
Premier Stolypins efforts to hold the duma

jected land reforms, controlling faction
of the lower house is determined to force
the issue of appropriation. which seems at
this time to be beyond the range of eff
fective compromise. The misfortune Of the
case is that the peasantry is unable to I'M
derstand the dangers of a conflict between
the duma and the government and is dis
posed TO force the matter by regarding NJ.

country with resentment. and reports of
burnings. pillagings and murders are re-
ceived from all quarters in volume to in
dictate that another revolutionary move
ment' is under way.
The best friends of Russian reform have
hoped that by dint of concessions on the
part of the government and moderation on
the part of the duma that body would con-
tinue in existence for several months eff
fecting at least demonstration of a GER
tain degree of parlian entary ability on the
part of the electorate and its representa-

circumstances which seriously threatened
to precipitate a reign of terror throughout
Russia was hailed with unconcealed de-
light by the reactionists, who regarded it
as a sign that the Russian people were
totally incapable of any measure of self
government and therefore were hit only for
the most autocratic rule. The second
duma started in n manner to promise a
demonstration OF a greater capacity for
restraint and coherent action along the
line of true reform. 1t now appears likely
that the radical elements which hold the
balance of power between the supporters
of government and the moderate reformers
are determined to press forward and as
sumo attitude of RECONCILIATION which
can have only an unfortunate result.

The HAYWOOD Trial.

For more than three weeks the trial of
William Haywood for the alleged crime
OF conspiracy TO cause the assassination of
eN-GON. Stcuncnberg of Idaho has been In
progress at Boise City, and the Jury box is
stu! untitled. Talesmen by the score have
been examined and rejected on one ground
and another. The majority of them have
left the box upon their declaration that
they Were prejudced. Some have excused
thems elves on the ground of entertaining
scruples against capital punishment. Others
have pleaded various excuses which hay,
been accepted by the court. Some have
been waved aside by the counsel for de-
Tense and prosecution through peremptory
challenges.
The spectacle of several hundred intelli-
gent citizens almost openly avoiding Jury
service in case Of such serious moment
To the state is extremely significant. The
question naturally arises, Why do these
men desire TO escape from this duty? 1t
is part of the citizens responsibility and
in normal circumstances he should perform
il cheerfully when summoned In the
Idaho case there are at least two circum-
stances which suggest an answer, first the
probable length of the trial, which NAV

ond the intense feeling of the popuIace.
which is sharply divided in sentiment be-
tween the prosecution and the defense.
As TO the length OF the trial. under the
American system, as practIced in some
states, there appears to be no possible
check at this time. The Thaw case affords
a striking evidence OF the tendency toward
prolongation in celebrated trials Washing
ton recently demonstrated the length to

ing Glasses. and also here and there upon

ing classes, and also here and there upon
the Jews. Assassinations are numerous.
and the fear is now openly expressed that
these are in only few instances inspired
by motives of so-called patriotism. There
have been many cases in which the hand
of the private avenger was plainly to be
seen. In other words, if the reports are to
be believed. murder is rife in Russia, with
bands of hired assassins engaging to re-
move Objectionable persons for a small
consideration. Naturally in such a situa-
ton the government must act. and 1t Is to
be expected that it's actions will be marked
with the usual Russian vigor and ruthless
ness. Thus, IL affairs continue a their
present pace, the cycle will once more be
completed, reform efforts precpitating ter
rorism and terrorism leading to reaction.
Where the course leads at present Is
question no man can answer confidently
today. That eventually Russia Will be
purged by this terrible ordeal may be &C
cepted as generally true. But what Will be
the price the present generation OF the
cars subjects must pay for their release

one hand and of the mob on the other?

which a criminal proceeding might be ex-
tended, when more than eight weeks were
consumed in the acquittal of a former gov
eminent officer In a case involving APP
parently very simple issues. The men who
have been summoned in Idaho have been
in large numbers farmers, who could Ill
afford to spend the summer in the jury
box. Not even a man of business, living
in the city of the trial. could be expected
willingly to abandon his work for ten or
fifteen weeks in order to act as juror.
especially in a case certain to evoke the
sharpest factional feelings.
1t has been whispered that some of the
men who escaped jury service have actually
feared to serve lest they might later be
held to a strict accountability for their YER
dict. 1t is known that the friends of the
accused men in this affair have uttered
direct threats against any person who
should be instrumental in any degree in
the conviction and punishment of the pris-
oners. These may be mere idle vaporings
of craftsmanship, but they are nevertheless
likely to be potent in influencing many
men who otherwise might be willing to
serve on the jury.
This Is unfortunate state of affairs,
but nothing can be done to remedy it.
Under the jury system a man must be
tried by his peers. and by no less than
twelve of them. and the defense has the
right to secure an impartial jury, seven as
the prosecution is in duty bound to exclude
from the box any man who may be sus-
pected of a prejudice. In these days of
wide publicity of facts. rumors and specu-
lations concerning every sensational crime,
it has become difficult almost to the point
of impossiblity to strike a jury without
risk of including some men who are al
ready honestly Influenced.

New York's Political Comedy.

The curtain goes up on a new act OF the
great New York comedy. 1t is continu-
Gus entertainment, and we'll worth the price
of admission.
Two years ago the play showed Murphy
and Mcclellan in league to foil the villain
Hearst. The settings were rich, and red
fire was abundant A crowded house fol-
lowed the performance. and while the de-
nouement left things little unsatisfactory.
no spectator could deny that he had re-
ceived his moneys worth.
Last year the play. in part showed Muir
ply and Hearst in league to foil the villain
Mcclellan. 1t was full of action, well
staged and kept the audience in a fever of
excitement down to the last word spoken.
This time, however, the villain got in some
deadly work. and left the combination
against him-Mr. Hearst In particular-in
rather a sorry plight.
This year. it is announced. we are to wit
ness return to the combination of two
years ago Murphy and Mcclellan are
again going after the villain Hearst, and
with all energy. They represented as
fighting for their lives. and resolved to do
or die, or. if necessary. to do and die A
packed house awaits the proceedings.
Mr.. Murphy's part in all this business

Ian and Hearst, has helped each to the
strength he possesses and whether fighting
one or the other is striving to undo his own
work. Mr.. Mcclellan is in the mayor s
chair largely by reason of Mr.. Murphy's
activity, and If Mr.. Hearst is more dan
gerous political factor now than two years
ago he owes 1t in part to what Mr.. Murphy
did for him last year in making him the
nominee of the democratic party for gov
ernor.
Last year some people thought the joke
was on Mr.. Murphy, and they plagued him
by recalling the severe things his new ally,
Mr.. Hearst, had said about him in the days
Of their enmty. And these people said
some severe things of their own about him.
Now the joke will be on them. for nothing
Is more certain than that next year they
will be marching shoulder to shoulder with
Mr. Murphy. and urging him to do his ut

can it fall apart when it swings so easily

unstable thing in New York. The men who

Rail Breakage.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The question whether the United States
Steel Corporation is making rails Of inferior
quality is not one which concerns only the
steel company and the railroads which buy
its product 1t is a question in which the
general public has a right to intervene and
demand authoritative and conclusive infor-
alton. 1t Is said that the heavy rails
which are being made now by the steel
corporation are too brittle and break easily.
There certainly has been an alarming in
crease in breakages. A broken rail does
not necessarily wreck train, but many
wrecks are due to that cause, and the tray
cling public naturally becomes nervous
when it hears statements from experts as
to the inferior quality of the rails supplied
to the great railroad systems of the country.
