EARLY BIRD.

Never has Russia been more characteristi- cally Russian than during the last few months. By "characteristically Russian" I would be understood to mean everything that is spasmo- dic, unstable, and undecided. Those are the very opposito of the qualities we usually at

autocracy as above all things possessing usity of purpose, fixity of aim, an unswerving con- tinuity both of policy and execution. But, in domestic affairs at any rate, the Russian autocracy has been anything but consistent. It never seems to know its own mind. Its history is a series of contradictions. When ever a new internal question comes up-as, for instance, the question of education--you find the autocracy now liberal and helpful, now restive and alarmed, now capricious and repressive.

IN A VICIOUS CIRCLE

It is the same in broader spheres. A Czar of spirit and determination like Alexander II. can in a few years reorganise the State nimost. from top to bottom, leaving it to his successors to complete or stifle his work at will.. As a rule, they prefer to stifle it. Conservatism takes alarm, and reforming Czar is automati.. cally allowed by a reactionary Crae who spends the best part of his life quietly nullify ing his predecessor's innovations. That is why progress in Russia advances, when it advances at all, by hts and starts and sudden,

In view of the fact that the Japanese have maintained such a high standard of efficiency with their naval guns, siege guns, and field artillery during the trying year that has just passed, interest attaches to the action of the Government in sending Major-Gen.

the last twenty years, and that the change is not away from, but in the direction of revolu tion. The difference, „of course, consists in and is due

to

the growth of industrialism." The students and peasants and unofficial intellec tuals who hitherto have been the chief agents of unrest have now a new and formidable ally in the artisin; and the artisans as a class are little likely to accept or be acceptable to the pure gospel of autocracy and orthodoxy. Strident riots and peasani rióis aro'ne old talo in Russia, and have never been more than sporadic. Petitions from the nobility for re- presentative government are also a familiar phenomenon. What is, new is to find the working man; himself a novelty and an ominous one, clamouring for his political rights and pursuing them by all the weapons of Western agitation. When you get 30,000 artisans shouting "Down with autocracy," cheering for liberty and listening with bn. resimined enthusiasm to revolutionary speakers, you may be sure that a movement is on foot which will not be very seriously affected by such decrees and proclamations as the Czar issued the other day, and which nothing but full and final success can satisfy

In the proceedings of the last few months there is, therefore, nothing unusual. M. de Plehve, in whom the spirit of despolism was incarnate, is blown to pieces by a bomb. His successor, accordingly, is a Liberal. A new spirit makes itself felt. The Press is allowed unwonted freedom; the Zemstros, or district councils, aspire towards greater powers; the re- formers are encouraged. But it only lasts for a litle while. The bureaucracy, the Grand Dukes, the great ecclesiastics rally once more, and a fierce subterranean struggie ensues for the possession of the Czar's approval. The bureaucracy wins, and things are as they were A conference of the presidents of the Zemstvos is sanctioned. Popular enthusiasm runs so high that the conference is prohibited. The prohibition is withdraws and the niceting is permitted to be held, but privately and unoffici ally. And, finally, the Emperor addresses a public and stinging rebuke to the presumptuous Zemstvo presidents who have dared to discuss "questions of State administration." And so it goes on,

FALSE PROMISES.

To issue, therefore, a decree, as the Czar did on Monday, promising reforms, and to follow it up on Tuesday with a proclamation con- demning all reformers, is nothing out of the ordinary.
