Viewed iu the light of
world's history. . the Czar
Russia made a stupendous mis
take when, at the instance of
hit subordinates he yielded
against his own better judgment
and better nature, and refused
to meet and confer with his sub-
Hects To make an estimate of the
far reaching effect that the re
fusal of the Emperor to meet
and listen to the plaints of his
subjects, it must be remembered
that the mass of the Russian
peopie are intensly loyal to the
Czar in whom they have implicit
faith. The Russsan peasantry
are also devoted followers " and
implicit believers in the Grek
Church of which the Czar is the
bead .V By their religion and
tradition they are taught that
the Czar cauldo no wrong ' that
as emperor he represents and
look) out for the welfare and
happiness of the people in earth
ly affairs, and as head, of the
Lhurcu he is the vice gerant
of Qod and guides the spiritual
welfare . of his ' subjects. ' If
things go wrong and injustice
is done in Russia the people
believe with a , faith incdmpre
bensible to us, it is because the
Czar is kept in iguorance thereof
by the subordinates that sur
round hi throne. v ' . ,
While the people love l and
trust the Czar, they , hate and
distrust the beaureaucrats that
surround the throne. For this
hatred and distrust they have
good reason, for .the world has
never known , a '; more corrupt
avoracioas, lascivous ' and sel
fish class than the- official class
in Russia, The great multitude
that walked the streets of St
Petersburg, unarmed, praying
for an audience with the Czar,
were animated ' with tbe hope,
their last hope in their unutter
able condition of wretchedness
that if they could only see the
Czar, tell him their woes and
show him their pitiable condi
tion that as soon as he knew
their leal condition be, would
aleviate it by doing justice to
them.
Their demand was refused,
their plaint was drowned with
volleys of musketry that sent
murderous bullets through their
bodies and drenched the streets
with blood . There can be but
one result from this act of mur
derous folly., the love and loyalty
which tbe 'Russian ' peasantry
have borne for the Czar for
centuries was ' shattered and
the process of its utter extinct
ion begau that will continue
until the hatred for the Czar
will be as pronounced aa it now
is for the despised Caurocrats
that surround his throne, and
when' that day comes as come it
will, the Russian Empire will fall
amid the exeoraiioa of the com
mon people for,
