THE REVOLUTION.

1t has quite evidently taken time for those of tory tendency in every country to realize that the Russian revolution was actually conducted and is now controlled by revolution ists.
 That it has had it's origin in pa cificist move is not correct for the soldiers and workmen's council in it's manifesto to the army has shown that it is not necessarily committed to peace.
 They began by declaring that "we speak to you in the name of the revolutionary democracy of Russia They distinctly asserted that the war was begun by the imperialists and the capitalists. But they called upon the soldiers to remember that the soldiers of the emperors of Aus tria and of Germany were committ- ing the destruction of revolutionary Russia.
 They pointed out that Ger many had a revolutionary army and until they had the frater- nizings with those devoted to the de- fense of an imperial throne and ot capitalism was out of the question.
 The simple fact is that the revo- Iution has got beyond the moderates of the Duma who would establish condition of industrial absolutism for the political absolutism of the Tzar. The natural class instinct ot the masses has asserted itself and the revelation is conducted by radi- cal revolutionists who mean busi- ness.
 We have no doubt that it is fer vently hoped in the powerful inter- ests of this country and in England and in France that the Russian re- volt will become a means of estah" fishing a staid capitalist republic wherein the immense aggregations of capital could acquire all kinds ot privilege and all kinds of wealth through the exploitation of the country and it's resources
 That this will be more difficult than is realized is due to the fact that rebellion, open or disguised has been carried on in Russia fol over a century. Hardly great Rus sian writer but has at one time come under the influence of the re- publican movement in Russia and the socialist movement as well as the rest has been of the most radical and far-reaching of all in Europe.
 The result of that agitation has been that it has permeated every walk in life and although education has been stricly limited, it passed from person to person in a direct if illiterate way that was none the less earnest because of its illiteracy.
 It is difficult to see how therefore the Russian people will appreciate the visit of a Root. Some time ago Root acquired in Russian circles con siderable notoriety when there was a determined effort made to send two Russian revolutionists back to the land of the Tzar to suffer death for political crimes and they were to be denied here the right of asylum that was not even refused such as they were in Great Britain.
 It will be some what hard to satis- fy the Russian revolutionists that the United States is wholly free ands democratic eoun- try. Russian criticism of the United States postal laws have been intensely bitter and this has been made much of by German agi- tation during the present crisis.
 It is not generally known that some of the radical Russian publi- cations in the United States seldom advocated anything favorable to the Tzar, just as several Irish publica- tions seldom boosted along the plory of the British empire. In order that offense might not be given the bureaucracy in Russia the depart ment required one labor publication to submit a translation Of it's ar ticles from the Russian into English before any issue containing such could pass thI rough the mails.
 Considerable disgust was mani | fested at this ruling in Russian pa
