RUSSIA'S RASCALITY.

"Tho Russian revolution has suffered shipwreck. Liberals and democrats are. painfully del'euding tho few vostigos of parliamentary and constitutional guartuitws which had been bestowed upon them from above, a.tid which a successive series of high-handed proceedings are destroying. Victorious, tho rpflotiwi is slacking its vengeful thirst upon the vanquished. It hae established tlio regime of tho suspects, the. spy practice,, the can ploy meat of agents provocateurs, arrestations, ('arches, and deportations by administrative measures. Whosoever is suspected of mere Liberalism finds his frecdftni in ennst-aut danger. Protests .ire idle before a reactionary Doiima, still idler in a gagged press that is, ■noreover, placed under police surveillance. 'Together with the parliamentirv and constitutional guarantees has vanished all vestigo of individual freedom whicli, th rough further devolopnient, would have iwrinitted the Uus■'.iaus to live the lifo of eiviliseJ"ljeings, like the other peoples of Europe."
