Moreover, it looks very mucl s If the latter were deliberatoly wrong, 1lo must have known bette Ix the ukaso of the new Cznr thero Is no intimation of any intended reforms or amel- forations of the Government; thete Is no hint of the cause of the assasination of his father. ‘T'he net Is primarlly lnld on the Almighty n this language: 1t hns plensod the Almighty, in il1s inseruta- blo wiil, to visit tussln with a beavy blow of fate, and to call her benefaetor, the Emperor Alexander I1., to Himself. ‘The new Czar then shifts the responsibility more directly upon the two ussasins: o fell by tho hands of impious murderers, who hail n-“un(mlls' sought his prectous life, andnnde thelr attempts beeause they saw In hiin tho protector of Rusel, tho fouwslation of ber greatness, mid the promoter of the welfare of the Russian people, If the Almighty employed the murderers to “cnll the Emuperor to Ilimself,” why ure they ealled *Impions™? But the new Czar, In the first gush of his arief, makes a fulso accusntion ngalnst the assasing when he says they “saw in the Iate mperor the promoter of the welfare of the Russlan people,” It was simply beeause hg refused to promote tho welfare of the Russlan people that they dynamited hhn, ‘The Czar was «n Impliea- ble for of free inatitutions for the people of Russin. 1lo employed. his antocratic power to stamp out freedom of speeeh and of the vress, freedom of fhoweht and aetlon, 1o refused utterly to give the Russians o Parlia- ment or pertnit them to nake their own laws and vote thelr own taxes, of enjoy any of the rights und privileges of other clvilized na- tions, The program of mall-handed, fron- heeled repression beeame unendurable, and he fell a victhn to his own tyruunleal stu- plaity. ' THE LESSON OF THE ASSASINATION. “T'he King 1s dend; long llve the King." Aloxander 11, shattered by a Nihilistic petard, Is dead, and Alexander [T, * Emper- or und Autoerat of all the Russias, Czar of Poland, Gramd Duke of Finland," ete, mounts to the disordered throne so sudden- 1y vaeated by his autoeratie ‘nud despotic father. 1t is possible for him to remain there and make Russin nightler than ever; it 18 equutly possible for him, by continulng his father's policy, lo expose himself to the snme fate. 'There have been rumors current that tie Is mora lberal in his Idens than hisfather. It s eertaln that he has not always indorsed nils father’s poliey, and that he has not al- ways sympathized with his personal charac- ter, ns was evinced at the thme of the latter’s recent warrloge with his mls- tress. Whether he will reverse the poliey of the Government, inangurate, sonie reforms by way of temporary conelilution, and thon put on the clamps tighter than ever, as did ils fother, or continue the present despotid polley, time alone will tell; but, If he under- stands the temperof the Russian people, amd Iing the courngdand foresight to net necord- ingly, he will’ promptly take the inltintory steps towards glving his subjects a constitu- tlonal form of government. The destre for representative Institutions and & conatitutional form f government lies at the bottom bf the present trouble in Rus- sla. It was the real motive which led to the assasination of the Czar, however foul amd cowardly the deed Itself mny scem. If It way the work of the Nihillsts, as now ap- pears, It was sluply beeause Nlhilisv i5the only form through which the desire could express itself and formnlate into ac- tion, . No man or men dared to publicly de- mand a representative form of government, for the reason thal such a demand woulit have Involved their speedy assashimtion by the Govoernment, or thelr Tonsigknment to a Hving death nnder gronund in Slberla. The Ninllistle organization had been used, there- fore, beenuso 1t Is profoundly seeret. Tho whole of Russia fs honeycombed with Nibil- Istic societles.

T'his desire finst begnn to take shapo when the late Czar emancipated theserfs, It aroused n hope that this wasthe tirst step towards vopular Nberty, but, as time went on, It became appnrent that the emanelpntion wos not Intended for any sueh purpose, but mevely to secure the serfs as ad- hierents of the Cznr In preventing this very purpose and In keeplng dawn the nobility, Meanwhilo this discontent grow more deeply seated, War broko out between Russh and Turkey, As the diveet result of this war Russta liberated mitHons of Christians from Turklsh despotism, Sho enlarged and erected Servin Into a free State, She added to the territory of Montenegro, She gave Bulgarian Parlinment and Roumaninnutono- gy, What moronatural thanthat the Rtussian people should'become still more dissatistled, ns they saw the Czar giving politieal s re- ligious freedom to the Christians beyond the BDalkans, while he denled Parliamentary rep- resontation of any Lind to his vwn subjects at home, thousands of whom had given up their Hves ot his connnand to give to others n boon they could not have themselves ? This demand for representative governs went has nlso beon emphnslzed of lnte yeurs by the introduetfon of Western ldeas into thy Russlan civillzation, "There nre swarms of Russian visitors and tourlsts in Frunce, Ger- muny, laly, and S\\’ll'l.(el'lqlnl. and they uro men of keen observation, Large numbers of young Husslans have been educsted In the Europenn wniversities, ‘Thoy huve fm- bibed the Western literature, ldeus, and no- tlons, and retornlug howe have found thelr own country potritied and dead to alt modern progress, Fhey have found that there Is no freedom of speech, o frecdom of the press, no fndependence of setlon, no progress In life, but everything clamped and ground down into the dust, and hell down at the merey of one autoeratie whll. 1t is the colllsion between the Now and the O, and {n the struggle the Now has wetthe Old on its own ground und with its own wenpons, because it could meet it no other way.

Itis true that the Sennte showed its dlsapproval of the nowminatlon of Gould's lobbyist by its unusual reference to the Judiclary Commit- tee, and that botl that Committee and the Senate evineed that senthinent to the last by refusing 1o take any othor dction upon his nomination, Buithat this can constitute any apology fur sending hls nrme again to the Senate Is Impossible to the Inst degree.

One of the great works upon which Russia hat enteved befors the recent catastrophio was the preparation for resumption of specle payments, Owlng to her protracted wars, her vast military establishment, hier domestle tronbles, the fuilures of hor erops, amd the genoral absence of active industry, the finunces of the Empire have reached n de- plorable condition, ‘Tho Imperlal debt of Russie I8 somowhore about £,500,000,000 rou- bles, or, computing a rondble .at 75 cents of our money, the total Interest-bearing dobt s somewhere about $1,000,000,000 of Aumnerlean money, In nddition to this debt, thore was out~ standing n deprecinted paper currency lssued nominally by the Imperial Bank, but made n legul-tender by the Government, In point of fact, the national bunk 13 but o fiotlon, being fu reality n department of the Natlonal ‘Prensury, Beforo the war with "Purkey the tount of puper money outstanding averaged TIUY00,000 roubles, or ubout §517,000,000, ‘Lhe costof the war was partly paid by an addi- tlon to the forced paper issues of 417,000,000 roubles, or something over $300,000,000, ‘The current or speelo vatue of this paper o year ngo was phout 4 cents per rouble of 74 eents, the depreclation being about 49 per cent, One xreat trouble with Russian finances 1s the In- evitable deticloncy in the revenue, which for many yeara has fatlen short of the expend. Itures, An economy of sxpenditnre, 8o nsto bring it withinthesumof theannual revonue, scems to bo beyond the cupaclty or the wishes of the Government, It took many years for the Government of lialy to understand that there could bo no Improvement in the natlonu! credit In the face of invarlablo annual defleits of revenue, but ns soon 1s the necessity was fully understvod and expenditures redueed to a polnt that onabled the enlightened Ministry of that Riugdom to prepare fur specle payments, the sohéme was put In operation. We havo alrenty oxplained the progress making towards u resumption of specle payments and complete restoration of national erediy in ftaly. On the lst of January, 1581, the Russlan fmperor lssued a deeres directing the Treas- ury to repay to the nutionul bank all of the outstanding now Issues of papor In excess of £1500,000,000, Iy the same decree the I'rens- ury Is directed to pay to the bank annualty for vight years $57,500,000, thus In that time taking vp and eanceling the whole of the additlonal paper fssued to meet the ex- penses of the Turkish war. To successe fully nceomplish this, several very uucer- tuty things in Rugsin are essentlal. Flrest, the revenne system must be so reduced to order that un annuul surplus wust take the vlace of the ordinary annual detieit In the revenust and, In the seeond plnee, Russia wmust have, durlng these efght years, nosen- son of peace, under which domestic produe- tlon and domestie ndustey may recover from thelr present depression, awd the country he- cona prosperous amd thriving, 'Tho expeeta- tion is that at the end of these elght yenrs of pence, prosperity, and natfonal inerease the conntry will have grown up*to the capacity of flnding use for the then ontatanding old volume of papor money, mmounting, as we have stated, to nbout $537,000,000, [t I8 ex- peeted that by that thie tho outstandmg pa- ver of the old fssue wilt be ot par, and that fL will continuo to o remaln without further reductton, One wenkness In this scliemio 1s, that, anticipating further defieits and fall- ures to have an annual surplus with which to mako the redemption of the 8300, 000,000 of paper, the Urensury s anthortzed to borrow the money to make these elght annunl payments, It would scem to bu a more direet, more certaln, and less expensive way to fund the 300,000,000 of -paper money nt once [n bonds, ‘I'his deereawas made on the 1st of Janu- ary. Before the explration of threo months the Emperor who Issued 1t has been ruthles- 1y agsasinated and the whoto natfon plunged Into n condition borderlng wpon annrchy, What will fullow this assnsination? It Is not supposed that tho murder was merely to pun- Ish Alexatder personnlly, but that 1t was es- sential to the inauguration®of a system of politleal changes leading up to the estnb- Hshinent of a responsible constitutional Goy- ernmont, thus thoronghly revolutiontzing the whote Emplre.

Bhould, however, such politieal reforms take place tu ussin ns witl leave the couns try at peace, the preparntions for resumption of specle pavinents ay stitl go on to com- plotion. This will leave the Austro-Iunga- rian Emplre and ‘Furkey the only large States still hopelesly burdened with ont- standing Inconvertible puper money. The ense of Turkey Is hopeless, and the inability of Austrin to resnme specle prymoen 13 at any nene date fs hardly Letter, DBoth Ithssla nnd Austein will attend the Monetary Conference at Parls In Aprll, and out of that Conferetice there mny come resnlts that may tend to make resumption in both countries not only possible but comparatively easy.

But there Is one glar- Ing Inconsisteney In the position now occu- pied by Judge Davis which 18 mude evldent by his own speech In the Senato, During the course of Judge Davis' remarks hu took oceasion to refer with great pride to his long-thne nssoefation with the Republican party, and declared that “every good cltizen should desire the specoss of the present Re- publican Adwinistration,” e added also: * Measures Intended to advauce It shall have my cordlal support.” lwmmedlately there upon ho aunounced his Intentlon of voting for the whole scheme of committees which had been agreed wpon by the Southern Bour- hon eancus, It 19 nt this volnt where his in- conslsteney beeomes evident. While prom- Isitg his support to the new Adminlstratton, he Is.rendy to vole for Bayard as Chaloman of the Finunee Committes and to place Sher- man, the late Secretary of the Treasury, nt the very tail of that Committer, No one knowsbetter nor appreciatea mora fully than Judige Davis that Sheriman was the gubding wenius of the late Admlulstration m tinance, and that the present Admbnstration §s 1 coms plete sympathy with Shevman's resumption policy. He also knows thut Dayard, ns Chalrman of tho Finance Commit- tee, was recontly unable to control his own varty in tha Sehnte In favor of a falr and practienl Itefunding bill, but wans eompelled In the end to submit his own judgment and conyletion of rlght to eaucus dictatlon, Does Judge Davls eall It supporting the new Administration to vote, under such cireun- stances, to make Buynrd Chairman of the Financo Committee in preference to Sher- man ¢ 4 ‘Therg are other incldents of tha proposed Democratic organlzation of the Senatae which are equally Incongruous with the position taken by Judge Davis, Ile will vote to make the feeble and negative Johnston, of Vir- ginla, Chalrman of the Comnittes of For- elgn Relatlons over the head of tho bril- liant Conkling, who 13 on the same Lom- mittee, Ile will prefer the fussy old granny, Davls, of West Virginln, ns Chalrman of the Appropriations Committee, ovor the’experienced, able. nnd Industrious Allison, He will set aslde Logan on Milltary Altairs Connnittes to give the Chalrmanshlp to the Bourbon Grover, Uarland’s fang ng o Inwyar has never resounded beyond ** Ar- kansaw,” and yet Judge Davig will vote to make that Individual Chalrman of the Judi- clary Committes (simply becnuse he is n Southern Bourbon), rather than Judge Ed- munds, whose legal attahunents are univer- gally recognized, Soin other cases he will ndvanee Coke over Ingalls on Indlan Af- fairs, Cockrell over 1oar on Clalms, Lamar over Dawes on Raitronds, Brown over Burn- stde on Edueation, and Maxey over Ferry on Post-Oflces, though these various Commit- teey ure brought in close relationship to tha Adminlstration. Judge Daviy evidently nas falled to estl- mate the full force of his deetared desire for the success of the now Administeation and his proffer of cordial support to all measures caleulnted to ndvance its interests, The greatest possible-encouragement that may be offered to un fncoming Administration fs to organize the working connnittees of the two Houses of Conuress in harmony with the polley aud alms of the Executive, nul this Is precisely what Judge Davls refuses to ald with lils vole, Native and Forefun-Born. ‘T'he Census Burean has lssued o bulletin showlug tho relutlons of natlve and torelgn- Lorn persons in tho soveral States.
