MYSTERIES OF ROYALTY.

When Ivan OF Russia died, suddenly,
in 1896, leaving two minor daughters
and no sons, his brother, Peter. pro.
claimed himself car. His administra-
ton of the office OF the greatest auto
crat in Europe is a study that his
torians have found a great difficulty
in attempting to solve and properly
dissect. The official historians Of
Russia have given him the title Of
THE Great" and they have been fol-
lowed by many historians Of other
countries. until the thoughtless will
imagine that he is entitled to that
distinction. One OF the independent
Russian writer's said that they had for
gotten to add that the qualification
great" should be followed by "scoun-
drel," and that only for the sake Of
brevity he was called great"
That sarcastic remark, many his
torians believe, Is so well founded that
It is impossible to understand how
some people have been able to con-
cede to Peter any merits as civilizer.
According to his contemporaries;
Peter travelled, studied and civilized
his country. But in the eighteenth
century the German countries, in
which Peter spent most Of his time,
had very few elements Of culture. The
truth is that Peter did not care in the
slightest for spreading true civiliza.
ton in his country and all he wanted
was to make autocracy firm and last.
