The whole. Slav world will hail with exaltation the decision of Nicholas 11. that the capital of Russia shall henceforth bear a purely Russian name. To them and to all who know them, the significance of this net is immense. It marks a deliberate brench with an old and bad tradition which has brought many evils on their race. Ti spite of occasional quarrels, the Court and the bureaucracy of Petrograd have been largely under the inducice of the Court and the bureaucracy of Berlin sinco Russia Brać" became a great Power in Europe. Each found their accoum in this relationship. The reactionaries on the Neva could safely appeal to the reactionaries on the Sprec for countenance in the most harsh and oppressive features of their internal policy, while the Junkers, against whom all that is progressive and enlightened in Germany have so often and so, vainly striven, looked to Petrograd for their staunchest support. The alliance between those classes has been based upon their common desire to keep down the people for the honour and the enclument of the small but 'powerful' class, which arrogates to itself in both countries the exclusive privilege of bearing rule. The step taken by the Tsar is a proclamation to the entire Slav racé in all its branches that this unholy alliance is no more, and that his policy is henceforth a policy of Russia for the Russians," freed: from the last vestige of subservience to Berlin. For all who had ears to hear he bad, indced, made this announcement already. When he issued his proclamation to the Poles of East Prussia and of Posen, as well as to their countrymen of Galicia and within his own dominions, he shattered at a blow the cornerstone of Russo-German friendship. That friendship began in the partition of Poland; it has been nourished by her oppression and her abasement; it has ended with the Imperial promise of her resurrection. In 1891 and in 1863 Prussia carried favour with Russia by a servile alacrity in assisting her against the Polish insurgents. Whenever Petro snOM "THE TIMES" SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, grad showed any judicious tendency toward leniency in Poland, the Court: alique at Berlin hastened to discourage it.
