A CZAR IN PRISON

New York World: Nicholas Roman
off, interned by the new Russian gov
ernment for public safety and his own,
is a prisoner in palace, but none the
less prisoner. Has the war in any
of its phases, and including the dra-
matte advent OF the Russian republic,
had a more theatrical development
than this? But yesterday an absolute
monarch, the deposed czar is under
restraint no less than the meanest Of
his former subjects in Siberia, and
with only the difference of the degree
Of personal comfort enjoyed by him as
the latest and greatest member Of
Russia's prison population
The event strikingly recalls the des-
cent Of the Paris populace on Yer
sailles to capture" Louis XVI and re-
move him for safe keeping to the Tu-
lieries. May the parallel end there.
But certainly the more orderly and de-
corous methods of the Russian reyo-
luton exhibit marked contrast to
the eXcesses Of its French prototype.
what barbarities Europe now witness
es are the work of monarchical mill
tarlsm not of newborn democracy.
The Russian people has overthrown it,
rulers, but there is no guillotine in the
public square and mobiles are not fly
ing for their lives, nor are their castles
pillaged and burnt.
Only the erstwhile autocrat, the all
powerful czar, greatest of mundane
rulers is in Jail to point out the moral
Of the vanity of human wishes as it
has not been pointed out within a life
time.
